Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends.

It was sent by the girl named Snow White. She said she was about to leave the place called Starry Sky Forest and return to the human city with her new teacher.

Before this, when Snow White followed Qian Daoliu into the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest, she had sent her greetings to the Nine-Colored Deer through this platform.

Now, as she departs, she still bids farewell to the Nine-Colored Deer with courtesy. This connection is unique among these fairytale characters summoned by Lin Wan.

"My Lord Beast, what are you looking at?" A clear voice rang in the ears of the Nine-Colored Deer.

Xiao Wu, with her hair tied in scorpion braids, was walking over carrying a bunch of fresh, tender green emerald grass.

She came to deliver snacks to the Nine-Colored Deer.

Over the years of spending time together, she has become extremely attentive to the Nine-Colored Deer's every move.

Xiao Wu skipped and hopped to the side of the Nine-Colored Deer. Following its gaze, she saw only layers upon layers of tree canopies and a blue sky.

She blinked her big pink eyes and asked curiously, "Lord Auspicious Beast, do you want to go out and play? Xiao Wu can accompany you for a stroll around the neighborhood!" She thought the Nine-Colored Deer was bored staying by the lake.

The Nine-Colored Deer withdrew its gaze, lowered its head, and gently rubbed the back of Xiao Wu's hand with its warm nose, conveying a peaceful spiritual message: "No, Xiao Wu. I just sensed the departure of a friend. Thank you for your Emerald Heart Grass."

Xiao Wu nodded as if she understood, though she didn't know who the Nine-Colored Deer's friend was or why he left. But as long as the auspicious beast wasn't unhappy, that was fine.

She placed the Emerald Heart Grass from her bosom to the mouth of the Nine-Colored Deer, revealing a radiant smile: "We'll meet again, my friend! My lord, please have something to eat!"

Chapter 67 The Witch Gord

The view shifts to the sunset forest.

Sunset Forest is located in the central-eastern part of the Heaven Dou Empire. Although its scale is far less vast than that of Star Dou Great Forest, and the overall age of its soul beasts is generally lower than that of Star Dou Great Forest, its ecological environment is unique.

The area is covered with lush vegetation of various kinds, especially a variety of exotic flowers, vines, and plant-type spirit beasts with special attributes. A faint layer of miasma floats in the air all year round.

For the vast majority of Soul Masters, Sunset Forest is an excellent location to obtain the first few Soul Rings, with relatively manageable risks.

But for certain special beings, the value here goes far beyond that.

A figure, with a faint, discreet expression, walked silently deep into the Sunset Forest.

Her steps were light, as if she were not stepping on piled-up fallen leaves and tangled roots, but floating in the air.

She exuded an aura that was unusually compatible with the surrounding plants; wherever she went, the sensitive vines would even reach out slightly towards her, as if to greet her.

She is none other than Godot, the fairytale character summoned to Douluo Continent by Lin Wan a few years ago, a powerful witch from the world of Rapunzel.

When Ge Duo first arrived in Douluo Continent, she was randomly placed in an unknown primeval forest.

After a brief moment of confusion, this witch, who had spent her life dealing with plants and magic, was immediately captivated by the various plants on the Douluo Continent that she had never seen before and that contained strange energy.

The plants here are not only diverse in shape, but many also naturally possess power that is either violent, gentle, or strange. For her, this is simply an inexhaustible treasure trove!

Over the years, relying on her profound magical knowledge and her extremely keen perception of plants, she continuously explored, collected, and experimented, developing many magical potions with bizarre effects. In the process, her cultivation level also stabilized at the level of a 90th-level Title Douluo, and her martial soul was the Magic Vine, which was perfectly suited to her.

However, Gothic's thirst for knowledge and greed for rare materials never ceased.

After exploring several forests, following the whispers of the plants and the flow of energy, she finally arrived at the Sunset Forest, renowned for its plant diversity.

Upon entering this place, Gedo felt an unprecedented joy. The plant energy here was more active, and the species were more exotic, many of which were even varieties she had never recorded in her notes.

"Wonderful, absolutely wonderful!"

Gedo stretched out her pale yet well-maintained hand and gently stroked a purple mushroom that emitted a dreamy halo, her eyes sparkling with infatuation.

"This world always surprises me."

She decided to stay here long-term; the environment here was perfect for her research.

So, through the system, Ge Duo conveyed this decision and the general situation of Sunset Forest to Lin Wan.

After all, in a sense, Lin Wan is her master, and Tian Dou City is not far from here.

……

At the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, Lin Wan had just finished a day's classes and was preparing to return to her dormitory to continue practicing Queen Eva's improved meditation method when she received a message from Ge Duo.

"Sunset Forest?" Lin Wan paused slightly, a thoughtful look flashing in her sea-blue eyes.

He vaguely remembered the name. In the original story, this forest seemed to hold a huge opportunity for the main characters, and there was a treasure land called the Eye of Ice and Fire.

That place is a gathering place for countless rare and precious medicinal herbs, which was the key to Tang San's early rise to power. Currently, it seems to be occupied by Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.

“Godot is skilled in plants and magic. For her, the Ice and Fire Amulet is undoubtedly paradise,” Lin Wan thought to herself. “If she can find it, I can also benefit a lot from it.”

However, he was not sure of the exact location of the Ice and Fire Dual Eyes, only that it was hidden in a poisonous barrier in the center of Sunset Forest.

Lin Wan then replied to Ge Duo through the system: "Ms. Ge Duo, as far as I know, there may be an extremely special place in the central area of ​​Sunset Forest. It is surrounded by a natural barrier of poisonous fog, and the spring is half red and half ice-fire, known as the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye. Immortal herbs belonging to this world grow around the spring, each containing unimaginable energy. Perhaps there is something there that you might be interested in."

After sending the message, Lin Wan stopped thinking about it. Whether or not Ge Duo could find it depended on her own abilities and fate.

For him, this was just a casual move.

……

In the Sunset Forest, Godot was carefully collecting the sap of a Ghost-Faced Spider Orchid, a key ingredient for her upcoming potion-making process.

"The Dual Eyes of Ice and Fire? A Celestial Herb?"

Upon receiving the message from Lin Wan, a surge of greed instantly welled up in Ge Duo's heart.

As a witch who spent her life pursuing powerful magic and the secrets of immortality, she understood all too well what the words "immortal herb" meant!

That was a legendary item that existed only in her world, enough to drive any mage or witch mad!

For example, the magical lettuce she once encountered possessed the power to keep people forever young.

"A natural barrier of poisonous fog, a dual eye of ice and fire, a miraculous herb," ​​Ge Duo murmured to herself.

"Find it! I must find it! As long as I obtain those immortal herbs, my potion-making skills will reach an unprecedented peak! I might even be able to glimpse the secrets of immortality!"

A tremendous desire surged within Gedo's heart, and without hesitation, she decided to abandon all her current gathering plans and devote all her energy to searching for the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

However, in the following days, Godo searched tirelessly throughout the entire Sunset Forest.

However, she gained nothing for several days in a row.

The Ice and Fire Dual Eyes seemed to be well hidden in the Sunset Forest. When Gedo's spiritual power swept through, he could only sense chaotic energy fields in the Sunset Forest and could not find a place with particularly prominent energy.

"Could the information be wrong? Or does that place not even exist?"

Gedo stood on the branch of an ancient tree, gazing at the darkening forest, her brows furrowed.

The intense search over the past few days had left her mentally exhausted. Gedo decided to temporarily put aside the search for the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, find a suitable place to settle down, build a temporary residence, and then make further plans.

As a witch who prefers to live in seclusion, Gothel has very high requirements for her dwelling. She needs a place that is secluded, safe, close to a water source, and preferably has abundant plant energy.

So she swam upstream along a stream, while her mental energy spread outwards, sensing the surrounding terrain and energy flow.

Chapter 68 The Dual Eyes of Ice and Fire

Gedo gradually ventured into an area she had never set foot in before. The trees here were tall and vigorous, and a faint mist drifted through the forest, carrying a hint of sweet and fishy smell. Normally, soul beasts would instinctively take a detour when they came here.

"Hmm? This fog..." Ge Duo keenly sensed that this fog was no ordinary fog; it was not just ordinary water vapor, but contained a mixed poison that could erode soul power and paralyze nerves.

The deeper you go, the denser the fog becomes, and the more toxic it becomes.

"Natural poisonous miasma?" Ge Duo was not surprised but delighted.

Such places often mean remote and secluded locations, which is exactly where she wanted to live.

As for the poison mist? To her, a seasoned expert in drugs, it was nothing more than a little seasoning in the fresh air.

A faint dark green light emanated from her body, and the phantom of her Martial Soul Demon Vine flashed behind her. When the poisonous mist approached within a foot of her body, it dissipated and retreated as if it had encountered its nemesis.

She continued deeper into the fog, which grew thicker and thicker, causing visibility to drop drastically. The surroundings were deathly silent; even the chirping of insects and birds had disappeared.

Strange plants adapted to the toxic fog environment began to appear on the ground, with vibrant colors and bizarre shapes.

Gedo observed the poisonous creatures with great interest, pondering which ones she could collect to refine new poisons.

Just as she was distracted by recording a purple poisonous mushroom with a human face pattern that she had never seen before, her foot suddenly slipped. She was walking on a path covered with wet, slippery moss when she lost her balance and slid down.

She gave a soft hum, and the demonic vines instantly shot out from her sleeve, wrapping around an ancient, jet-black tree beside her and stabilizing her position.

But the view below the slope made her forget everything she was doing.

Below lay a relatively open valley, but the entire valley was shrouded in an intensely dense, multicolored poisonous barrier.

The poisonous barrier was far more potent than the surrounding mist; its vibrant colors flowed and swirled, seemingly alive, and emanated a chilling aura of destruction.

However, what truly made Gedo stop breathing was not the terrifying poison barrier, but the scene behind it.

Through the gaps in the poisonous barrier, she vaguely saw a strange spring.

The spring water seemed to be split in two by an invisible force. One side was an icy blue, like ancient ice, steaming with extreme cold, while the other side was a crimson red, like lava, churning with scorching bubbles.

Ice and fire, two completely opposite forces, coexist perfectly here, creating an incredibly bizarre yet magnificent scene.

Around the spring that is both ice and fire, countless plants grow densely.

Each of those plants radiated an indescribable, magnificent aura and boundless energy. There were immortal herbs that burned like flames, exotic flowers that looked like ice sculptures, vines bearing dazzling gem-like fruits, and leaves dripping with golden dew...

The life force, so rich it was almost tangible, intertwined with energies of various attributes, forming a bizarre and dreamlike fairyland.

"Ice-Fire-Two-Eyes"

Ge Duo immediately recognized this as the Ice and Fire Dual Eyes that Lin Wan had mentioned.

A surge of joy welled up in her heart, and her pale face flushed with excitement.

You search high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly!

The treasure trove she had been searching for for days appeared before her eyes in such an unexpected way when she had given up the search and turned to looking for a place to stay!

"Found it, really found it. Hahahaha!" Ge Duo couldn't help but let out a low, hoarse laugh, filled with endless greed and joy.

She carefully concealed her breathing and observed the colorful poisonous barrier closely.

This poison barrier is extremely terrifying. Anyone below the level of a Title Douluo who dares to rush in will likely turn into pus and blood in an instant.

Even for ordinary titled Douluo, resisting for a long time is by no means easy.

However, for Ge Duo, whose martial soul is the Demon Vine and who is extremely skilled at manipulating plants and toxins, this is somewhat troublesome, but not an insurmountable obstacle.

“A natural barrier, perfect. It saves me the trouble of setting up a protective barrier.” Ge Duo’s eyes gleamed with a sharp light. “As long as I can find a safe way in, all the countless immortal herbs inside will be mine!”

Instead of rushing things, Ge Duo slowly retreated, found an excellent vantage point, and began to carefully study the execution rules of the Seven-Colored Poison Barrier and its weak points.

Now that the treasure trove has appeared, the question that Godo needs to consider is how to completely possess it and become its sole owner.

As for whether this precious land originally had an owner? In the dictionary of the witch Gothor, the concept of first come, first served has never existed!

Natural treasures belong to the capable!

And she is confident that she is capable.

……

Outside the seven-colored poison barrier, Geduo patiently observed for a whole day and night.

For her, who was well-versed in plant characteristics and energy manipulation, the execution rules and toxicity of this poison barrier were a piece of cake.

"Almost there," Ge Duo murmured to herself, a confident smile spreading across her pale face.

She stretched out her hands, her ten fingers dancing in the air like a musical instrument, dark green soul power flowing from her fingertips, precisely striking several specific points in the poison barrier.

Suddenly, the originally slowly flowing and unified seven-colored poison barrier was as if it had been parted by an invisible hand, quietly cracking open a passage that could only be passed by one person.

The poisonous fog churned violently at the edge of the passage, but it could not overcome the barrier formed by the dark green soul power.

Ge Duo flashed and instantly stepped into the eye of the ice and fire yin and yang.

As soon as she entered, she felt a surge of immense energy rushing towards her.

Two completely different auras, extreme cold and extreme heat, intertwined and swept over her, yet strangely achieved a balance. Not only did it not cause discomfort, but it also stimulated her soul power to accelerate on its own, making her feel indescribably comfortable.

Ge Duo greedily took a deep breath, the rich life energy in the air and the exotic fragrance emanating from various immortal herbs making every pore of her body rejoice.

Around the dual eye of ice and fire, all sorts of exotic flowers and rare herbs grow. Fragrant Silk Fairy Herb, Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, Fiery Apricot Blossom, Extraordinary Sky-Piercing Chrysanthemum, Eight-Petaled Fairy Orchid, Dew-Hidden Autumn Water…

Many of the divine items she had only vaguely heard about from Lin Wan were now vividly displayed before her eyes, radiating a dazzling halo and heart-pounding energy fluctuations.

"Perfect, absolutely perfect!"

Looking at the magical herbs radiating energy before her, Ge Duo was extremely excited. She carefully walked among the herbs, touching them all around.

"Such a precious land should rightfully belong to me!"
