Douluo Continent: The Twin Sons of the Styx River, Shaking the World and Destroying the Heavens

Chapter 300 Twilight Forest
Xia Die led Polycia to the next place.

On the second day, in a vast basin, there was a forest where everything was reviving and filled with endless life.

The mountain peaks are enormous, and the basin is surrounded by dense forests that completely conceal the interior, making it impossible to see the whole picture even from a distance.

In the air above the basin, there was a dense spiritual mist, a phenomenon that only condenses when the concentration of spiritual energy reaches a certain level.

"Sister, it's very comfortable here."

“That’s right, let’s go down and take a look first.”

The butterfly gazed upon a place where there was a vast spring, its waters golden and exuding an auspicious aura.

Above that basin, there was a visible energy shield that enveloped and protected the entire basin.

Besides breaking the energy shield, Yanqing and her group also need to deal with another problem.

At the entrance to the road leading to the Spirit Spring Basin, there were hundreds of strange beasts, and their auras were far stronger than those of ordinary beasts in the forest!

However, no matter how powerful those strange beasts are, they are not beyond the scope of the Dao. However, in front of Xia Die, they are not much different from ants.

This experimental site is called Twilight Forest, and it is the final stage of this experimental site.

That's also where you can get the highest points.

At the forefront, the ferocious beasts all displayed a very menacing expression upon seeing Xia Die.

But it meant nothing to Xia Die.

Xia Die slowly walked over, her purple eyes fixed on them.

This place is filled with fear.

They all chose to give up resistance.

Xia Die said to a dark gold bear, "Could you please show me the way?"

"No, no... no problem, this way please."

It's not that he didn't fight back, but that he was simply no match for her. We, an A-level ferocious beast, were like a tree trying to shake itself in front of her, overestimating our own strength.

Then, the Dark Gold Bear led the way, with Xiaodie and Bolysia following behind, allowing them to venture deeper into the Spirit Spring Basin.

The basin was enormous, and the spiritual mist in the air was so thick that it was impossible to disperse. The concentration of spiritual energy permeating the surroundings was significantly higher than that outside the basin.

Staying here, one's cultivation level can improve even in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, the closer one gets to the center of the basin, the more astonishing the concentration of spiritual energy becomes.

It's hard to imagine how fast one's cultivation speed would be if one could cultivate for a while in the center of this spiritual spring basin.
Breaking through to the Grandmaster level will be much faster. In addition, because the spiritual energy here is so rich, various spiritual plants are neatly arranged throughout the basin.

These spiritual plants are by no means ordinary spiritual materials commonly found in the outside world. Every plant within sight is at least at the fourth-tier level.

If they can be harvested, they can bring great value whether used for making medicine or sold!
Just then, the rocks behind them suddenly shattered, and a terrifying aura emanated from them.

As the rock wall shattered with a deafening roar, amidst the billowing dust, Xia Die looked up and saw two pairs of blood-red moons shining in the darkness, gleaming with a chilling crimson light that seemed to penetrate one's very soul.

That wasn't a blood moon at all, but a pair of eyes, like two burning flames, radiating a fierce and brutal light.

Immediately afterwards, a thick black shadow pressed down like churning dark clouds, completely enveloping Xia Die's petite and delicate body. She subconsciously looked up and saw an unimaginably enormous scorpion appear before her—its massive body almost blocked out the light, hanging heavily in mid-air like a moving black mountain, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

The menacing scorpion legs gleamed with a cold, metallic sheen, each glint of light radiating a chilling killing intent.

They are as thick as towering pillars, their surfaces covered with dense, sharp barbs. These barbs are so sharp that they seem to tear a person to pieces with the slightest touch, without any effort at all.

The scorpion's body is covered in barbs, as hard as a thick steel plate forged through countless hammer blows, exuding an aura of despair that inspires fear.

The scorpion's pincers were astonishingly large, resembling two giant scythes tempered with ice. Their blades gleamed with a chilling light, and were covered with a dense network of venomous stingers. Each stinger was sharper than a steel needle, its tip coated with sticky venom—a sight that would be fatal upon contact. The inside of the pincers was jagged with serrations, its cold gleam concealing brute force; tearing through the flesh of its prey would be effortless. With a slight swing of its pincers, it created a whooshing sound, a chilling wind carrying a menacing chill, as if announcing death.

Behind it, a massive tail appeared even more ferocious, clearly divided into six segments, each with a hard, rigid carapace. The very last tail stinger was as translucent as amethyst, gleaming with an eerie purple light in the dim light, with a drop of deep purple venom hanging from its tip, trembling precariously, like a purple gemstone about to fall at any moment; just looking at it made one's scalp tingle.

Monster Name: Rotten Soul-Eating Scorpion

Attribute: Poison

"Rank: S (corresponding to mid-stage Martial King)"

"Ability: Corrosive Mist: The tail glands continuously release gray poison mist. If the mist comes into contact with the skin of a creature, it will cause muscle ulceration. If inhaled, it will corrode the respiratory tract. If not detoxified in time, the creature will die from organ failure within half an hour. The poison mist can also weaken the defense of metal and magical artifacts. Ordinary weapons will rust after being contaminated for half an hour."

"Soul-Devouring Tail Sting: The tail stinger is extremely accurate and can pierce the defenses of those below the Martial Lord level. The injected "Soul-Devouring Poison" will directly erode the spiritual power of the creature. The poisoned person will experience hallucinations and confusion, and will eventually become the "live food" of the scorpion.

"Extreme Bone Spikes: Summons countless sharp, poisonous spikes, each containing potent venom that can instantly corrode everything, causing those struck to be rapidly corrupted in agony."

"Weakness: Vulnerable to warriors with fire elemental talents. The base of the tail needle is a 'fatal point'. If accurately struck by a hard weapon, it will temporarily lose the ability to release poison mist and inject venom."

[Can we...win this?]

I don't know, the chances seem slim.

We'd better run, this situation is terrifying!

The viewers in the live stream were completely stunned by the enormous creature before them. The demons they had encountered before were nowhere near the level of this Corrosive Soul-Devouring Scorpion—the difference in their strength was like heaven and earth; the former were nothing more than dust on the ground, while the latter was a mountain pressing down on them.

"Elf, retreat!" The Corrupting Soul-Devouring Scorpion's huge, blood-red eyes were fixed on Xia Die. Its voice was as deep as a roar rising from the bottom of an abyss, filled with overflowing rage, which made the surrounding air tremble slightly.

“What if not?” Xia Die said calmly, her eyes showing no fear as she met the murderous gaze of the Corpse-Eating Scorpion. In Xia Die’s eyes, she was not facing a terrifying monster, but an insignificant opponent.
