Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

The spirit ring formed after Hunter's fusion did not change in power at all; it was purely for the sake of fusion and had no effect whatsoever.

Seeing Chen stagger towards him, Wu Qi chuckled, "Not bad, don't use it next time."

Hunter feigned innocence, "Without your spirit-sharing soul skill, I would have had a hard time finding the right moment to unleash the soul skill, let alone achieve such a perfect effect."

Wu Qi didn't believe a word he said.

Even if the timing of releasing a soul skill is perfect, it can't increase its power, right?

The fifth soul skill of a peak Soul Emperor can instantly kill a peak Soul Saint in their Martial Soul True Body state.

If you didn't see it with your own eyes, who would believe this record?
Chen returned to the group, swinging his arms.

She was thrown a great distance, but fortunately the sandy ground cushioned her fall and prevented further injury.

The moment she landed, she staggered and ran towards the battlefield.

Chen was indeed an exiled criminal, but he was still loyal and at least did not choose to run away in this situation.

"Damn it, what happened? It's over already?"

Wu Qi shrugged and looked at Hunter, "With a strong person in the team, everyone benefits from it."

"Hunter?" Chen asked, somewhat surprised.

Back then, these two even got into a fight over who would become the squad leader.

Back then, Hunter's fighting style was extremely cowardly, and the power of his soul skills was pitifully low.

How come you can instantly kill two Soul Saint level experts now?
Chen felt that there were probably more than just Wu Qi and his two companions in the group, and that Hunter was likely hiding a secret as well.

Clearly, Hunter had already figured out her personality, explaining, "The longer my soul skill is charged, the higher its attack power. When sparring with you, I can only face you alone; how can I have time to charge up?"

"Just now, I only had a chance to succeed because everyone held off the opponent. That's all."

After a moment's thought, Chen realized the logic in the statement. His gaze then fell upon Wu Qi and the other two, and he snapped, "What, you're not pretending anymore?"

"You thought you were so tough, suppressing your soul power and using a soul tool to change the color of your soul rings? You even fooled me!"

Wu Qi gave an awkward smile.

Given Chen's loyalty, he had no reason to continue lying, and said, "There's no other way. We are trainees, and the gold tokens we carry will attract the exiles' pursuit. We have no choice but to resort to this."

Mr. Chen was not particularly keen on leaving this place.

She sighed and sat down to the side: "Then you've come to the right person."

"For me, this is the best place to belong."

Chen's appearance and personality undoubtedly suggest she is a strong, independent woman.

Such people are rejected by the mainstream social values ​​of Douluo Continent.

However, she was quite lucky; she later started a family and had a husband who was gentle but loved her dearly.

Later, she was framed and, believing her husband had betrayed her, she killed him in a fit of rage.

After learning the truth, she killed the person who orchestrated the scheme and then turned herself in to the Spirit Hall.

Given the mitigating circumstances of her case, she was ultimately sentenced to exile.

Chen Nan actually likes this place very much. Her daily worries about survival prevent her from reminiscing about the past.

She paused, then took out the gold and silver items she had on her person and handed them to Wu Qi. "I know you will leave eventually. I hope you will convert this gold and silver into cash and use it to buy a larger burial plot for my unjustly murdered husband."

This is a small matter; any steward can handle it once we get back. There's no need for Wu Qi to make the trip himself.

"What a twist of fate." After sighing, Hunter reminded him, "Since this isn't a true oasis, shouldn't we continue our journey?"

"Also, the fighting just now was quite loud, and I'm afraid quite a few people are heading this way, hoping to pick up the scraps."

...After entrusting Wu Qi and the other two with a task, Chen would naturally take on the role of protecting them along the way.

However, Hunter became quiet and reserved.

In his last words, he said that he would tell Wu Qi something after finding the oasis.

With that in mind, Wu Qi temporarily put aside his doubts and continued on his way.

“Since Viper Soul Saint was able to deceive people with a fake oasis, then it seems that the real oasis is in this direction.” Wu Qi stood on the sand dune, looking at the compass in his hand, and said.

The problem is that in this vast desert, they have no concept of distance, nor do they know how far they have to go.

"Without considering sand dunes, a person's line of sight can roughly see the ground within a radius of five kilometers. Beyond that, unless there are tall mountains, it is impossible to see clearly."

The sandstorms have subsided considerably, and visibility is gradually improving.

Everyone believes that if an oasis truly exists, it must be somewhere nearby.

Wu Qi possessed the ability to fly. In places with good visibility, he could fly to high altitudes and see farther.

A day later, in their sight, a row of green tips emerged from the ground in the distance.

The sandstorms here have almost stopped, and the sky is clear and blue.

Seeing this, everyone quickened their pace.

As towering trees gradually emerged from the ground, the group found the true oasis.

……

This oasis is surrounded by several layers of sand-protecting forests.

It is because these trees stabilize the soil beneath our feet that the oasis is able to exist.

Here, just as Qian Daoliu described, there is a clear lake in the center, surrounded by mandalas.

Because of their previous experience, everyone became extremely cautious when they approached the lake.

Chen then searched the mud around the lake for any traces of human remains.

Without much thought, Wu Qi picked a fully grown Sakadana datura plant and put it into his soul tool.

"No need to look, the water here isn't poisonous."

Upon hearing this, Qian Gu Chang Kong completely let loose and leaped into the lake.

After so many days, I was finally able to wash off the sand and dust.

There was no other way; they did have a lot of water in their soul tools, but no one could guarantee how long they would stay in them. Using it for bathing would be far too extravagant.

By the lake, Wu Qi smiled faintly at Hunter: "Now, can you speak?"

Hunter smiled slightly and asked in return, "What do you want to know?"

Wu Qi said, "About your origins, and what you want to say, everything about you."

Hunter looked up at the sky. "I'm just an ordinary person, nothing special."

"As for my background, hehe, who cares what sect or school an ordinary person comes from?"

Wu Qi frowned: "That's the same as saying nothing at all."

Hunter ignored him and said to himself, "We do have some connection, but I don't know if you can be the one I'm waiting for."

"As for my strength, it is indeed not level 69, perhaps you have already guessed it."

"But if we have the chance to meet again, I will tell you everything you want to know. This time, I will not break my promise." (End of Chapter)
