Douluo Continent: The World Shines with Stars

Chapter 33 Lost

Jueyun Ravine is a small gathering place for soul beasts near Dongji City. It is mainly a habitat for gibbon soul beasts, and many soul masters also come and go on weekdays.

But today, as they watched Chen Qingting and his group enter, the three major families of the city mobilized together. It couldn't possibly be for those thousand-year-old soul beasts on the outskirts, could it?

Recalling the legend of Jueyun Gorge, some people followed along, while others gave up on today's soul hunt and watched the situation from the outside.

The brothers Chen Qingting and Chen Qingfeng walked at the front, Xu Mingxi and Xiao Rui guarded the center, Tong Lin and two powerful attack-type Soul Masters walked at the back, and two Soul Saint-level guards were responsible for protecting them on both sides.

"Everyone be careful, the gibbon colony's habitat is just ahead, and we need to cross through it."

At Chen Qingting's command, everyone activated their martial spirits and vigilantly looked around to prevent any soul beasts from suddenly appearing.

Jueyun Gorge is a narrow passageway where gibbons inhabit the cliffs on both sides. The group's destination is at the end of this passageway.

According to a rumor circulating in Dongji City, at the end of Jueyun Gorge lies a secret treasure that can help people advance to the rank of Title Douluo.

The origin of the rumor and who started it are no longer traceable, and most of the major families simply do not believe its authenticity.

This operation was more about training the younger generation; otherwise, several Soul Douluos would have already joined forces and personally explored what was inside.

Xu Mingxi walked in the center of the group, cautiously looking around. No one knew the situation deep in Jueyun Gorge.

However, according to statistics from Dongji City over the years, the number of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts in the gibbon group outside alone is definitely no less than five, and they live in groups.

Their team could easily handle five soul beasts that were ten or twenty thousand years old, but behind them was a huge clan, and who knew what kind of dangers were lurking within.

Their biggest advantage in entering Jueyun Gorge this time was the Soul Saint Chen Qi, a level 71 agility-attack type battle Soul Saint, whose Martial Soul is a lizard, sent by the Chen family.

His third soul skill is derived from a chameleon that has been around for 1,200 years. The soul skill is its greatest ability: disguise.

This soul skill can reduce the team's aura, allowing them to blend into the surrounding environment and avoid being discovered by the gibbon troop.

Everyone held their breath and cautiously groped their way forward. The fog in Jueyun Ravine was very thick, and the cries of monkeys could often be heard in the distance, attracting everyone's attention.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the two brothers, Chen Qingting and Chen Qingfeng, who were leading the way, looked at the road ahead that still seemed endless and were somewhat disheartened.

As the initiators of this operation, they carried a heavy burden, not only to bring everyone back safely, but also to gain something from this experience.

Suddenly, the Soul Saint walking on the left seemed to sense something and immediately stopped the group.

"Everyone be careful, something looks like it's coming from the left."

Everyone activated their martial souls. Xu Mingxi's martial soul star crown appeared above his head. He stared at the forest on the left, starlight condensing at his fingertips, ready to be released at any moment.

With a long howl, the troop of monkeys swung through the forest, screaming as they charged toward Xu Mingxi. The leader of these monkeys, according to records of this type of spirit beast in Dongji City, was over ten thousand years old.

Chen Qingting's expression changed immediately. They were not afraid of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, but if they were held back, they might not be able to leave once the other gibbon groups arrived.

"Break through! Ignore them and charge straight into the deepest part!" Before Chen Qingting could react, Xu Mingxi gave the order from the middle of the group. Waiting for the apes on the left to arrive would be the most foolish thing to do.

Having come this far, and unwilling to give up, the group had no choice but to continue deeper into the territory. With the team's strength, as long as they didn't get surrounded, they could handle the situation with ease.

As Xu Mingxi ran, he released starlight rays, and the star net was casually shot out. Regardless of the battle results, he followed the team and kept running forward with his head covered.

Almost everyone present was a Soul Master, except for Yuan Qing from the Yuan family, whose physical strength was slightly weaker. Crimson light flowed around him, while cyan light emanated from him and fell on everyone else.

Xu Mingxi felt as if her body had become a little lighter. With one step, she shot forward a great distance, her speed significantly increased.

He looked at Yuan Qing in surprise. This support ability is impressive. Although Xu Mingxi had never experienced the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, before becoming a Soul King, the two should be roughly the same, and the Seven-Colored Deer might even have an advantage.

However, as the cultivation level of a Soul Master increases, the percentage increase in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda becomes more and more terrifying. This is the most terrifying aspect of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, as it can even achieve amplification beyond one's level.

With Yuan Qing's amplification, the group ventured deep into the clouds and mist, temporarily escaping the encirclement of the monkey troop. However, Xu Mingxi, who had entered the dense fog, felt disoriented and called out to her teammates but received no response.

Xu Mingxi felt a little flustered. His fourth spirit ring flashed, and the Star Guardian lit up around him, protecting him firmly.

"Grandpa, are you still there?"

Having received no response, Xu Mingxi forced herself to calm down.

In his previous life, he lived in a stable society with a wealthy family. Although he lives in the Douluo Continent, where strength reigns supreme and the strong prey on the weak, he has been under the protection of the Star Crown Sect since childhood.

This was Xu Mingxi's first time facing unknown danger alone. He forced himself to calm down, maintained his Star Guardian, aimed in one direction, and slowly moved forward.

Right where he left, the Grand Elder appeared. He had actually heard his grandson's call, but he didn't want to show up.

He had always known that the sect and he himself had spoiled Xu Mingxi too much, allowing him to live in a peaceful and stable environment, and even making him somewhat lax in his cultivation.

Knowing he had protectors behind him, he became even more reckless during his travels, even venturing alone into the Soul Douluo Clan and threatening the clan leader.

If it weren't for his talent, based solely on his attitude and personality, he would have long been called a piece of trash by the sect leader and expelled from the sect's top training program.

Since this was such a good opportunity for Xu Mingxi to gain experience, the Grand Elder did not want to interfere.

The Grand Elder could sense the layer of mist deep within the Absolute Cloud Gorge. At most, it would only obscure the perception of some Soul Douluos who were not good at it. To him, it was merely a thin veil over his eyes, and his vision was only slightly affected.

He could clearly see that everyone in the adventure team was lost in the thick fog that was so dense that they couldn't see their own hands in front of their faces.

Everyone was separated, except for the two brothers, Chen Qingting and Chen Qingfeng, who were already close by and, with a bit of luck, bumped into each other.

Suddenly, the Grand Elder frowned, his Martial Soul appeared, and his Starry Hand struck out, directly grabbing Yuan Qing and pulling him to his side.
