Simultaneously traversing from Type-Moon

There were two people, completely wrapped in black robes, dressed exactly like the previous "Jiahao".

They're dressed so similarly, they must be from the same organization. Let's see if we can arrest them.

As soon as Du Can had a thought, the roots of the Blue Silver Grass that he had buried in the ground beforehand quietly began to move.

As soon as he entered the forest, he began to use his "First Soul Skill - Blue Silver Iron Wire Roots", deeply embedding his roots into the soil and laying them along the path.

These roots are hidden in the soil, blending into the earth, buried neither too deep nor too shallow, and cannot be found without careful investigation.

These were Du Can's sensory tentacles, helping him detect the movements around him, and also the first trap he set.

Now that we've stepped inside, let's make our move. We don't know their strength yet, so let's test the waters with a single strike.

"Blue silver roots entwine!"

This move is similar in principle to the famous "Blue Silver Entanglement," except that instead of the vines of Blue Silver Grass, it uses roots buried deep underground to entwine.

The roots generated by Du Can's Blue Silver Grass martial soul are far harder than steel, and ordinary people cannot break free once they are entangled by them.

With a thought, the roots laid beneath the feet of the two suddenly grew rapidly, transforming into countless hemp ropes comparable to steel cables, which shot out from the soil and wrapped around their bodies.

……

Two figures in black robes were walking along a forest path.

"That guy claimed to have connections in legitimate circles, but he got caught by a few puppets as soon as he made contact with someone. Heh, is that his 'connections'? He walked right into a trap?" A man in black robes sneered.

"Don't mention him." Another voice said in a gloomy tone, "Quickly catch the culprit who destroyed our organization, I want him to suffer a fate worse than death."

"Aren't you afraid it's a trap?"

Even if it's a trap, I'll crush it!

As soon as he finished speaking, countless roots burst forth from the ground beneath their feet, like hundreds of serpents, coiling around their bodies.

"What is that?!"

One of the men in black robes reacted extremely quickly, extending his hand. That hand was as thin as a withered branch, with skin clinging tightly to the bones, and long, narrow nails like knives. The entire hand looked more like an eagle's claw than a human hand.

Sharp claws, like daggers, swiftly sliced ​​across the surging roots, producing a series of crisp clanging sounds and sparks flying like metal colliding.

"Hmm? It's so hard?"

The black-robed man suddenly exerted force in his hand, veins bulging, dark magic coiling around his claws, and he uttered a low shout: "Break!"

The claws swept across at an even faster speed, and the dark black magic formed a tangible shockwave. Accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of an iron axe cutting through steel bars, countless roots snapped in response.

However, even more roots are gushing out from the ground, endlessly and relentlessly entangling us.

The other man in black robes wasn't idle either. He pulled out an ancient-looking compass from his robe, his fingers flying across the dial as he channeled magic into it, causing the compass to glow faintly. He shouted, pointing the compass at the ground: "Kun hexagram—pointing to the earth as steel!"

In an instant, the nature of the land within a ten-meter radius centered on the two people was forcibly altered, becoming as hard as steel.

Those roots buried deep underground can no longer emerge, but those that have already sprouted above the surface are still growing wildly.

The black-robed figure with sharp claws swung its claws once more, the dark magical claw shadows slicing the surrounding roots to pieces and tearing them apart.

Compass-wielding man's face darkened: "Something's definitely fishy; this is a trap. Retreat!"

"If you want to retreat, then retreat," the black-robed man with sharp claws gritted his teeth. "I don't want to run anymore!"

"As long as the green hills remain, there's no fear of running out of firewood!"

"I don't care anymore," the black-robed man with sharp claws said resolutely.

Seeing his resolute attitude, the man in the black robe with the compass knew he couldn't be persuaded and turned to leave, not wanting to die with him.

However, at this very moment—

The ground cracked.

Billions of silver rays shot out from beneath the steel-hard ground, like countless gleaming silver spears piercing through the earth at the same time.

"Shuashuashua——"

The sound of sharp blades piercing flesh was as dense as rain.

Like skewering candied hawthorns, the compass-patterned black robe and the sharp-clawed black robe were instantly pierced by countless silver bamboo spears.

"Gan!"

The man in the black robe with sharp claws cursed loudly.

His body was pierced by three bright silver bamboo stalks, yet strangely, not a single drop of blood flowed out.

His body had long been refined to the point of being like a thousand-year-old zombie, harder than steel, and its internal structure was completely different from that of humans.

Without blood, without a heart, brain, or other fatal weaknesses, they are like the monsters known in the West as "Dead Apostles," able to live forever simply by absorbing the life force of the living.

The black-robed man with sharp claws swung his claws with all his might, and the dark claw energy severed the three bamboo stalks that were trapping him at the root.

He threw off the broken pole and turned to look to the side.

"Old Luo, don't die!"

Beside him, the black robe with the compass had been completely shredded by five bamboo stalks, blood flowed all over the ground, internal organs were broken, and even the head had been pierced through the middle, so he was obviously not going to survive.

But in the next instant, a golden light flashed.

The black-robed corpse with the compass suddenly vanished, then reappeared unharmed a few steps away.

He lay on the ground, panting heavily, his whole body trembling, his voice distorted: "Luckily... luckily I used the Li hexagram beforehand—'Return to Heaven and Reverse the Sun.' Otherwise, I would have really been finished."

Chapter 13 The Five Elements and Their Mutual Restraint

"I feel that your magic version of the soul skill is much more powerful than my original soul skill?" Douluo Du Can rested his chin on his hand, seemingly lost in thought.

“I don’t know,” Du Can of Type Moon shook his head. “It seems that after the Blue Silver Grass was transformed into a unique concept here, it can absorb the power of nature even better than you can.”

"The Blue Silver Emperor is known as the supreme among plant-type spirit beasts. Your spirit is already extremely close to the Blue Silver Emperor, so it's natural that you have this kind of power," Du Can from Doupo interjected.

"Forget it." Douluo Du Can waved his hand. "I only had a slight feeling of being a top-tier martial soul after I absorbed the Golden Tree's spirit ring. Before that, even standing in the forest, or even in the Blue Silver Grass, I could hardly mobilize the power of nature, and I had no majesty as a king at all."

“By the way, speaking of which,” Du Can of Type-Moon suddenly thought of something, “the three-thousand-year-old golden tree that you have for your third spirit ring, wouldn’t it be the same one that Tang San later transplanted to Seagod Island?”

"What a coincidence! Golden trees are rare, but they're not the only ones." Douluo Du Can rolled his eyes. "Besides, the ancient golden tree on Seagod Island in Douluo II was probably mutated by Tang San using the power of the Seagod long ago. It's not the same version as the one I'm absorbing now."

“That’s true, otherwise I would have given you a ‘Child of Nature’ soul skill at the very least,” Du Can of Type-Moon laughed.

"To put it bluntly, it's just a difference in the world, there's nothing to fuss about." Douluo Du Can shrugged.

……

Du Can recalled his memories of being in the light sphere space, then pulled his thoughts back to the battle in front of him.

Through the senses of the Blue Silver Grass roots, he clearly "saw" the positions of the two black-robed enemies, and then used "Blue Silver Root Entanglement" to try to capture them in one fell swoop.

However, these two enemies are quite formidable.

One used its sharp claws to sever the roots of the Blue Silver Grass, which were tougher than steel; the other hardened a small patch of ground beneath its feet, making it as hard as steel, so that the roots could not penetrate it.

"It seems capturing you alive won't be so easy," Du Can thought to himself. "Then let's test your true abilities first."

He closed his eyes, then suddenly opened them, a glint of light flashing in them.

The 108 magic circuits in his body instantly started operating at full speed, and magic power converged like a torrent onto the concept of Blue Silver Grass, stimulating its hidden properties.

"Blue Silver Ten Thousand Spears Formation!"

The Blue Silver Ten Thousand Spears Formation is essentially an extreme modification of the second soul skill, "Blue Silver Lone Bamboo Stem." It specifically enhances the penetrating power of the bamboo stem tip, allowing it to break through the earth's constraints at the fastest speed and pierce out like a streak of light. It is a pure killing technique.

Du Can launched this move remotely.

Countless silver spears shot out from the ground, as if billions of silver spears were charging at the same time, instantly turning the two black-robed men into a string of candied hawthorns.

however--

After being pierced, the man in black robes acted as if nothing had happened, casually severing the bamboo stalk that had pierced his body. The wound was pitch black, and not a single drop of blood flowed out.

The other one was riddled with blood, but after a flash of golden light, he reappeared unharmed, though his aura was noticeably weaker.

Du Can narrowed his eyes, then quickly made a judgment.

The former has probably already transformed himself into a puppet, no longer human.

The latter, however, seemed to have activated some kind of life-saving technique similar to "Izanagi".

interesting.

Although the puppet body is troublesome, it is not difficult to deal with without special methods.

The real problem is that guy who can use "Izanagi," but judging from his panting on his knees, this technique obviously consumes a lot of energy and can't be used many times.

That makes things easier.

Du Can closed his eyes again, then suddenly opened them again.

Without a sound, the energy from both the Battle Through the Heavens and the Douluo Continent surged in simultaneously, and the previously depleted power seemed to be instantly replenished.

"Blue Silver Tree Formation!"

"A dazzling display of lights, a raging fire spreading like wildfire!"

Blue Silver Tree Trapping Formation is a variation of the third soul skill "Blue Silver Golden Branch". It involves deliberately growing the Blue Silver Tree into a formation to trap the enemy, locking them firmly inside.

As for the dazzling display of lights and the raging fire, he had used them before, but this time it was no longer a large-scale forest fire. Instead, he completely confined the flames inside the trap, forming a sealed "giant oven".

With these two methods combined, it's highly unlikely that the enemy won't be roasted to a golden brown on both sides.

……

Trapped within the formation.

The black-robed figure with sharp claws continued to desperately swing its claws, slashing at the blue and silver spears that kept emerging from all around.

The man in the black robe was panting heavily, gripping the compass tightly in his hand, ready to unleash the next round of magic at any moment.

Just then, the surrounding environment suddenly changed.

The bright silver bamboo suddenly began to grow thicker and stronger, and its color slowly changed from silvery-white to golden yellow.

"What's going on?" the black-robed man with sharp claws asked sternly.

"Not good!" The black-robed man with the compass expression changed drastically. "They're about to use a trapping formation to bind us! We must leave!"

Just as the two were about to break through, the golden trees grew at an astonishing rate, blocking all their path in the blink of an eye.
