Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 203 Yuan En Ye Hui's Lucky Break, Demon Tok!
The next morning.

Outside Licheng.

The white light barrier, resembling a waterfall of light, gradually dimmed over time.

An extremely light and refreshing scent wafted over, making every pore of the thousands of people waiting outside the barrier feel open and incredibly clear.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the white light, like mist illuminated by sunlight, gradually dissipated.

What came into view was a lush, ancient forest, much like the Starry Sky Forest before it was destroyed.

The First Elder of Licheng turned to look at the young people of his own Licheng and the young people of the Douluo Continent, and said in a deep voice: "As you can see, the Forbidden Zone World is mainly composed of primeval forests. From the moment you step into it, you may encounter attacks from alien beasts at any time."

"Inside, as long as your cultivation level doesn't exceed the limit, you'll be resurrected after one minute if you die, so there's no need to worry."

"But apart from the strange beasts, you must be careful with the people in the other three cities. Try to win them over if you can. If you can't win them over and can't coexist peacefully, then launch a sneak attack if you can, regardless of morality."

"Alright, everyone, get ready to go!"

Upon hearing this, the young people who were about to head to the restricted area couldn't help but breathe more heavily.

Have a safe journey.

Leng Yaozhu gently patted her beloved student's shoulder and softly gave him some instructions.

"Don't worry, teacher," Nan Liujing said solemnly.

Immediately, the powerful figures of the Douluo Continent watched the young man walk to the edge of the restricted area.

"set off!"

The Grand Elder gave the order.

"Come on!"

Some immature young people roared and ran towards the restricted area, while some mages cast wind magic on their feet, afraid of being left behind.

This is the confidence that comes from the ability to resurrect the dead.

In comparison, the young people of the Douluo Continent were a step behind.

"Brother Nan."

Nan Liujing and his group had just stepped into the lush, green forest when Li Tian arrived with a large group of people. They were all geniuses, the kind of people who would break through to the Soul King level before the age of twenty in the Douluo Continent.

Nan Liujing said, "As promised, we will help you after you find the Life Source Crystal. Please also hand over the crystal to me after you kill the alien beast."

Li Tian nodded and said, "Of course. Please keep an eye on the positioning magic array at all times, Brother Nan."

"Hmm," Nan Liujing nodded.

"Let's go." With Li Tian's command, dozens of mages followed him and rushed into the forest, beginning their search for the Life Source Crystal based on past experience.

The people of Licheng are responsible for finding the location of the Life Source Crystal. Once found, they will use pre-arranged positioning magic to alert the people of the Douluo plane to go and help.

In other words, during this free time, the people of the Douluo Continent will be free to explore.

After Li Tian and the others left, Nan Liujing and the others didn't just wait around.

Following the previous team division, everyone immediately dispersed and quickly disappeared into the dense thicket.

After traveling more than ten kilometers, Nan Liujing and the other women finally discovered a group of strangely shaped bird creatures in front of a soft, carpet-like meadow.

They have pale blue, almost transparent feathers, and most of them frolic on the grass. Occasionally, some birds will fly up, and when their wings flap, many tiny water droplets will condense. Instead of falling to the ground, the water droplets will condense into a thin mist.

Ye Xinglan said with surprise, "Putting everything else aside, this Mistweaver Bird is quite beautiful."

Yuan Enhui nodded in agreement: "It's a pity we can't take them out of the restricted area alive, otherwise it would be quite nice to capture them and raise them as pets."

Wu Siduo remained calm: "The encyclopedia says that a spiritual herb called Dewgrass grows in the area where the Mistweaver lives. Medicines made from it can purify soul power. There are quite a few Mistweavers here. Should we kill a bunch and see?"

Nan Liujing pondered for a moment and said, "Yue'er, use wind blades to attack."

"it is good."

Gu Yue raised her hands slightly, and a subtle vortex of wind gathered in her palms. With a wave of her hand, countless arc-shaped wind blades swarmed towards the Mistweaver Bird on the grass, like a swarm of bees.

Silently, the pale blue wind blades approached the strange beasts at a distance of less than fifteen meters before they reacted.

A bird song, as clear as a spring, rang out, and a strange scene unfolded: the thin mist around them instantly thickened upon contact with the wind blade.

Aside from a few unlucky birds flying in the air that were torn apart and dropped their alien crystals, the rest of the Mistweavers managed to hide inside the thick fog.

Unfortunately, the mist released by the Mistweaver Bird, which could obscure vision and mental perception, could not stop Gu Yue's mental power, which was almost at the Spirit Realm level.

A moment later, the fog dissipated, and hundreds of light-colored alien crystals fell onto the grass.

Nan Liujing moved swiftly, remotely absorbing the strange crystals and placing them into his storage bag.

"As expected, there is Dew-Gathering Grass."

Ye Xinglan waved to everyone.

Upon closer inspection, deep within the meadow grew a dozen or so spiritual herbs that resembled wild grass, each with a drop of clear dew hidden in its leaf veins.

Nan Liujing shook his head and said, "This batch of Mistweaver Birds is at most equivalent to a hundred-year-old Soul Beast, and these spiritual herbs are only a few decades old. Their medicinal power is still a bit lacking. At most, they can purify the Soul Power of a first-ring Soul Master."

"So, are we still accepting them or not?" Ye Xinglan asked.

"No need, let's go."

The storage bag for storing spiritual herbs has limited space, so Nan Liujing didn't consider collecting spiritual herbs under 500 years old on this trip.

A fresh start.

Wandering through a forest of unknown size, Nan Liujing, Gu Yue, and the others encountered other strange beasts one after another.

However, none of them were particularly strong; they were all at least at the level of thousand-year-old soul beasts. The girls could easily defeat them without Nan Liujing even having to lift a finger.

Unfortunately, the spiritual herbs guarded by these strange beasts are not very old.

While others might be able to collect crystals after a century or so, Nan Liujing has always been only interested in them. To date, he has hundreds of crystals in his storage bag, but unfortunately, their quality isn't very good.

Fortunately, it can be secretly given to the God of Destruction to store internal energy, so there's no fear of running out of space later.

Another hour passed. After dealing with a group of strange beasts called Ironbeak Vultures, Nan Liujing casually picked the spiritual herbs they were protecting and then accompanied the girls to find a giant tree with a panoramic view to rest temporarily.

Sitting in a row on the incredibly thick branches, Nan Liujing gazed at the boundless green ocean.

"Senior, this restricted area is far too large. Do you have any other methods to locate the Ancient Tree of Life?"

Nan Liujing was a little anxious. Searching blindly like this was too difficult to find, especially since the restricted area was open for a limited time.

The God of Destruction quickly replied, "There is a way, though it's not a solution, it just depends on whether you can find it."

Nan Liujing's heart stirred slightly: "Tell me about it."

The God of Destruction said, "Normally, even from thousands of miles away, the ancient tree of life should be able to see the green-gold light it emits. If you can't see it, it means it's shrouded in the life mist. You can ask the natives of this plane; if they can find an area of ​​mist that covers a particularly large area, then the ancient tree of life is very likely inside it."

Upon hearing this, Nan Liujing immediately perked up.

hum~
Just as Nan Liujing was about to say something to the God of Destruction, a slight humming sound suddenly rang out.

"Found it so quickly?"

Almost simultaneously, the four women of Gu Yue subconsciously looked at their right palms, only to see a magic circle's light and shadow floating, along with waves of heat, as if urgently reminding them.

Nan Liujing also had a positioning magic circle on his right hand. He glanced at it and said in surprise, "It doesn't seem to be far from here. Let's go."

All five were action-oriented and quickly landed back on the ground.

Guided by the wind birds released by Gu Yue, their journey proceeded exceptionally smoothly. "Rumble!"

After traveling at high speed for less than ten kilometers, suddenly, a violent roar rang out.

A strong gust of wind blew in, and the fluctuations of elemental energy in the surrounding area became much stronger.

“A battle has taken place; I sensed the presence of demons.”

Nan Liujing's eyes flickered.

Yuan Enhui pushed off with his feet, and a pair of wings unfolded on his back, with viscous dark light flowing at the edges. With a whoosh, he rushed towards the target point like a cannonball.

In an open area, countless ice-like crystals were scattered randomly on the ground. Around the crystals, at least dozens of people were gathered together.

Fireballs, ice spells, wind blades... different types of magic ravaged this land.

The mages, their faces grave, launched their attacks on the enemy in an orderly fashion.

However, the situation on the ground is not optimistic.

The young magicians, dressed in robes characteristic of Li City, encountered a group of extremely difficult opponents.

They were a group of extremely ferocious-looking creatures.

The hellhound is like a lion, its head can explode, and its neck extends like rubber, devouring everything in its path like a man-eating plant.

The demon, over three meters tall, had no facial features, only a single eye in the center of its face, from which a deep, eerie light emanated, capable of shooting out highly penetrating rays of light at any moment.

It resembles a human, but has huge bone and flesh wings on its back, with countless pustules on its wings and a corrosive liquid flowing from them.

More than ten bizarre creatures, enduring bombardment from various elemental magics, are constantly shrinking the living space of the mages in Licheng.

Behind this group of demonic creatures that were launching a frenzied attack, another group of mages dressed in dark robes stood motionless with cold expressions.

Cooperating with demons also evoked a certain physiological aversion in them.

They just didn't dare to show it.

Because right beside them was a pure-blooded demon, seven meters tall, with a human-like appearance, curved horns on its forehead, a body covered in purple-gold scales, and a pair of wings on its back stained with a sticky dark light.

"withdraw!"

Seeing over two hundred demons carrying magic arrays attacking, about to tear through the last line of defense built by the mages of Licheng, a sixth-tier mage at the head shouted in frustration.

Although resurrection is possible, it takes a lot of time to resurrect and then go back into the forbidden zone. We must not give up if we can save more people.

Having said that, the mage chose to stay behind, continuously summoning light-attribute magic that resembled a rain of steel arrows, which significantly slowed down the enemy's offensive. Several hellhounds and demons were even turned into pincushions by the arrows.

The other mages acted quickly, making the most of the opportunity given to them by the team leader. After launching a new round of attack spells, they swiftly retreated, about to escape into the dense forest.

"Humph."

Upon seeing this, the pure-blooded demon's purplish-gold eyes flashed with a chilling killing intent. With a grab of his right hand, an extremely hot ball of hellfire erupted forth. He then made a wiping motion on the flames with his left hand, and a massive flaming greatsword quickly materialized.

With a whoosh, accompanied by a terrifying gust of demonic wind, the pure-blooded demon arrived beside the Li City mage at the rear in almost the time it takes to breathe.

The flaming greatsword slashed down, accompanied by a surge of purple-gold hellfire. Before it even touched the mage, his robes automatically glowed with a light that protected him from damage.

The demon stared coldly at the mage beneath him, showing no urgency, for he knew he would sooner or later see this human consumed by hellfire.

"Ok?"

Just as the mage gritted his teeth, knelt on one knee, and struggled to resist the flaming greatsword, the demon Tok glanced to the side and subconsciously turned his head to look at the dense forest not far away.

"The bloodline aura of the Black Boil Clan? Interesting. It seems I can now surround and trap these humans."

The demon Tok turned back, fully focused on annihilating the humans beneath his sword.

Swish.

A sound broke through the air.

The expressions of the dozens of mages from Youcheng who were watching all changed.

But then a female demon, with a body similar in size to a normal human, an extremely alluring and beautiful face, and an incredibly voluptuous figure, wielded a dark demon sword and slashed down at the head of the demon Tok.

The demon Tok never expected that the familiar demon from another race would attack him. When the blade cut into his neck, a sharp pain followed.

The demon Tok, in pain, instinctively turned around and swung his left elbow, attempting to elbow the attacker.

The alluring figure reacted extremely quickly, dodging the attack in a flash.

"who!"

Despite the excruciating pain, the demon Tok roared in fury.

Not far away, a tall and slender figure stood there. Even though her face was cold, she exuded a captivating charm that made people want to conquer her.

"Humans?" Demon Tok was taken aback, then realized, "So it's someone from the Douluo plane whose bloodline seed was planted by Wu Jie."

Yuan Enhui glanced at the mage who had escaped the hellfire's corruption thanks to her sneak attack, and said coldly, "Pure-blooded demon, it seems I'm quite lucky."

The demon Tok was taken aback, then laughed disdainfully, "What? You don't actually want to devour me? Do you know that in the demon plane, the strength of bloodline is everything? In front of pure royal blood, the bloodline you have is no different from that of a servant."

"In other words, this demon can suppress you simply by virtue of my bloodline!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an astonishing purple-gold flame erupted from the demon Tok, and within that flame, there seemed to be some kind of extremely powerful bloodline pressure.

In an instant, all the creatures from the demon plane on the open ground trembled and knelt down.

Yuan Enhui's delicate body trembled.

She did feel an instinct within her surfacing that wanted to submit.

But... besides the Fallen Angel Martial Soul, she also has the Titan Giant Ape Martial Soul!
Tok was still muttering to himself, "Beautiful human woman, but unfortunately not to my liking. However, the demons of the Jetta clan do like your type. If I capture you alive and give you to them, I can get quite a bit in return..."

Before he could finish speaking, Tok's eyes suddenly widened.

That alluring, captivating, and incredibly sexy human woman was rapidly expanding in size, soon transforming into a giant ape no less tall than him.

The giant ape's powerful aura surged forth, and six spirit rings—black, black, black, black, black, black—quietly rose up.

In the distance, the magicians of the Ghost City suddenly noticed something was wrong.

They stared in astonishment at the ground beneath their feet, only to see the once stable earth suddenly begin to tremble visibly. Strands of yellowish-brown light, like waves of air, were continuously converging into the body of the giant ape, which felt an intense sense of being torn apart.

A hint of killing intent flickered in Yuan En Ye Hui's crystal-yellow pupils:
"Now, can you still suppress me using your bloodline?"

Tok's playful gaze subtly turned serious. He said nothing, but slowly raised the flaming greatsword in his hand.

Yuan Enhui sneered, "I'm going to take your demonic bloodline."

Tok narrowed his eyes and said arrogantly, "That depends on whether you have the ability."

Rustling.

Suddenly, another whooshing sound came from the air.

Four people emerged from the woods.

It attracted the attention of many magicians in the cities of Youcheng and Licheng.

Compared to the wariness of the people of Youcheng, the magicians on the Licheng side all showed excited expressions.

"Big brother is here!"
