Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 36 Rescue
Lin Xingyu locked onto a nest of star moles, which became his intended hunting target. Although the star moles were not very strong, their extremely fast reaction speed and ability to escape made them quite a problem.

Even though Lin Xingyu was careful in his sneak attacks, a few cunning creatures still managed to escape. However, the hunt went smoothly overall, and without much effort, the hunt was complete.

After cleaning up the battlefield, he looked around and, relying on his experience, chose a direction where soul beasts were scarce and quickly left. He knew that the noise of the battle would likely attract other soul beasts, so it was best to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.

The forest was quiet and deep, and Lin Xingyu was walking through it.

Suddenly, he stopped abruptly, a look of surprise on his face. Just now, at the edge of his magnetic field sensing range, signs of fighting came over.

The faint energy fluctuations broke the tranquility of the surroundings and instantly aroused Lin Xingyu's curiosity. He subconsciously clenched his fists and began to wonder whether he should go in the direction of the battle to find out.

Lin Xingyu muttered to himself, "I'm not sure if it's a fight between soul masters and soul beasts, or between soul beasts themselves. My magnetic field is too weak to tell the difference between strong and weak. From such a distance, I can't even sense what the other party is like. It looks like they're outnumbered, so the difference in strength isn't that big."

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to go over and take a look. He thought that since both sides were equally strong, even if one side won, it would surely suffer heavy losses. He might be able to take advantage of the situation.

In an instant, Lin Xingyu's figure disappeared in the lush forest and ran towards the direction of the battle.

……

"Damn bastard!"

Lin Xingyu was dozens of meters away from the battlefield and keenly caught Xie Xie's voice. At the same time, relying on magnetic field sensing, he clearly knew that there were more than thirty ten-year-old soul beasts besieging the field.

He took a deep breath, a cold glint in his eyes, and calmly adjusted his breathing. As his breath steadied, the elemental energy around him surged toward him, as if pulled by an invisible force. In the blink of an eye, a glazed fireball coalesced around him, its flames dancing, as if ready to unleash devastating force. Without hesitation, Lin Xingyu stomped his foot on the ground and shot out like an arrow, shouting, "Xie Xie, back off!" Xie Xie instantly recognized Lin Xingyu and was overjoyed. His face was filled with relief at having survived a catastrophe, and he quickly hid beside Tang Wulin.

Seven fireballs, accompanied by billowing heat waves and whistling winds, hurled themselves at the wolves like miniature meteors. With a few resounding booms, the fireballs landed precisely in the center of the pack. Instantly, flames blazed everywhere, and heat waves spread outward like a surging tide. The blue wolves closest to the impact were sent flying, their fur instantly ignited, and they let out a mournful cry. Those further away were also affected by the heat wave, trembling with fear, and the previously neat formation collapsed in an instant.

A shrill wolf howl pierced the silence, and six blue wolves were thrown back by the powerful force as if struck by a heavy hammer, their bodies twisting and turning in mid-air, their fur standing on end. Almost simultaneously, seven or eight blue wolves were also engulfed in the glazed flames, writhing and struggling on the ground in agony, their howls filled with fear.

The wolves were thrown into chaos by the sudden attack, their roars and wails intertwined. Lin Xingyu's eyes were sharp, and he seized the opportunity. He kicked the ground hard and shot out like a cheetah, charging into the chaotic battlefield.

Lin Xingyu moved through the chaotic wolf pack like a ghost, each strike imbued with immense force. "Bang! Bang! Bang!" With a few muffled thuds, three blue wolves were instantly sent flying, tumbling to the ground and falling into a coma. Seven or eight blue wolves were licked by the Liuli True Fire, their flesh sizzling as they struggled and screamed in the flames. As the fire grew stronger, they died.

The remaining dozen or so blue wolves, led by their leader, howled in fear and then, like frightened hares, took off into the depths of the woods. Lin Xingyu wanted to give chase, but upon seeing the exhausted Xie Xie and the crystallized Tang Wulin, he decided to stay put.

When Xie Xie saw the wolves were dealt with, his tense nerves relaxed instantly, his legs went limp and he sat down on the ground, with very little soul power left.

Lin Xingyu teased them about their embarrassment. Xie Xie sighed helplessly and spoke with pride as he talked about how he had just dealt with a thousand-year-old crystal bear and was then besieged by a pack of wolves.

At this moment, the crystals around Tang Wulin faded, and he regained his senses. Lin Xingyu urged them to quickly recover their spirit power, but Tang Wulin, feeling dizzy and exhausted, declared he needed to leave the Spirit Ascension Platform. Xie Xie, also injured, decided to withdraw as well.

Lin Xingyu had no choice but to set off alone. Tang Wulin and Xie Xie cheered him up before leaving.
