Douluo Continent: The World Shines with Stars

Chapter 50 Yangyan Crow

Under a bright moon and sparse stars, deep within the Starry Sky Forest, in the Lake of Life, a massive bull's head emerges from the water, its azure scales shimmering with a mysterious luster.

As it swam, it gradually approached the shore, its head lowered, getting close to the beautiful woman in a pink dress standing on the bank.

"Aunt Rou, isn't Sister Xiao Wu about to undergo a heavenly tribulation that lasts for 100,000 years?"

The woman stroked the head of the Azure Bull Python with a gentle expression. How could she not worry about Xiao Wu's tribulation? After all, they were just Soft-Boned Rabbits.

"Da Ming, how about letting Xiao Wu transform into a human and start over?"

"Aunt Rou, you should know how short human life is. Becoming a god is nothing but a distant dream."

Yes, how could she not know that it was just a dream? But as she looked at her daughter playing and frolicking with Erming in the distance, a sense of melancholy welled up in her heart.

Having lived for tens of thousands of years, Xiao Wu is still so innocent and naive. She can still be protected by Da Ming and Er Ming in the Star Dou Great Forest.

After being reborn as a human, she can only improve by interacting with humans. Will she be able to protect herself then?

Women who have struggled to reach maturity in human society know the horror of the human heart. These 100,000-year-old soul beasts who have been rebuilt are prone to falling into an abyss if they are not careful, and thus become resources for human progress.

The pink rabbit, perched on the Titan Ape's shoulder in the distance, seemed to sense its mother's gaze and instantly teleported into the woman's arms, nuzzling her cheek affectionately.

Suddenly, a distant roar shattered this heartwarming scene. The woman's expression changed, she put her daughter down, and disappeared, reappearing a hundred meters away.

She had to go and see what had happened; she couldn't let anyone threaten Xiao Wu.

The Azure Bull Python in the lake coiled its tail around the pink rabbit that was about to follow, and gestured to the Titan Ape beside it, telling it to follow and check, lest Aunt Rou get hurt.

After Xu Mingxi and his companions entered the Star Dou Great Forest, they searched along the route provided by the mercenary group until they entered the core area, where they finally discovered a trace of the Yang Yanwu.

The sect leader stroked the scorched earth. Although he didn't know which kind of soul beast had caused it, he believed that the chances of finding the Yangyan Crow by following the scorched earth were greater than searching blindly.

Unfortunately, as the group ran frantically along the scorched earth, what they finally saw was a 70,000-year-old fiery wolf. After the sect leader's aura frightened it away, they no longer knew where to search.

Just when everyone was at a loss, a sharp cry rang out across the sky, accompanied by what sounded like weak wolf howls.

With a glance from the sect leader, the group quickly moved in that direction. Even if it wasn't Yangyanwu, it was still better than just standing there.

Lady Luck smiled upon Xu Mingxi once again. The soul beast that fought, or rather hunted, the Fiery Wolf was none other than the Yangyan Crow that he had been longing for.

The sect leader raised his hand to stop everyone. His eyes sparkled with starlight as he clearly saw the appearance of Yang Yanwu.

It doesn't have six tail feathers, but seven. The seventh feather is much shorter than the other six, and it's obviously a newly grown one.

"Mingxi, the information is wrong. This Yangyan Crow is over 70,000 years old. Are you sure about it?"

The optimal age for the seventh spirit ring is around 50,000 years. This Yangyan Crow not only has a strong bloodline, but its age is also nearly 20,000 years older. The sect leader is really afraid that this momentary greed will cause the sect's future to be cut short.

But only Xu Mingxi knew that his body had been nourished by the sect's resources since childhood, tempered by the essence of moonlight, and further strengthened by immortal herbs and whale glue. His physical strength was simply beyond the reach of ordinary soul masters. Moreover, how could he achieve a benign mutation of his martial soul without taking a gamble? The older the Yangyan Crow was, the more advantageous it would be for Xu Mingxi.

Sensing Xu Mingxi's determination, the sect leader stopped trying to dissuade him and focused intently on the two soul beasts before him.

The Yangyanwu is even smaller than the Liehuo Canglang, but it is more agile. Most importantly, its flames are far superior to those of the Liehuo Canglang.

Its entire body was engulfed in bright golden flames as it burst forth from the fiery wolf's orange-red flames, tearing out its eye with a single claw.

The Fiery Wolf tried to escape, but how could it outrun the faster and more agile Yangyan Crow, which was still flying in the sky?

With a desperate howl, the Fiery Wolf collapsed completely, and a black soul ring rose up. It hadn't even done any effective damage to the Yangyan Crow, only depleted some of its strength.

With a single claw, Yangyanwu tore open the skull of the Fiery Wolf and savored the delicious and energy-rich wolf brain.

Although it is very unethical to take action while others are eating, this is indeed the best opportunity.

Ignoring the fact that it was still daytime, the sect leader immediately activated his Martial Soul True Body, and a huge phantom of a star crown appeared on his body.

With the Star Guiding Technique, Starry Bewitching Technique, and Star Lock, Yang Yanwu was completely unable to move under the sect leader's powerful strength.

Just when everyone thought things were about to end, an unexpected incident occurred.

The eyes of the Yangyanwu shone with brilliant golden light, and a golden phantom seemed to appear behind its black body.

As it let out a sharp cry to the sky, the sun in the heavens seemed to receive its summons and cast a golden ray of light.

The starlight was dispersed, the star lock broke apart, and the control that the sect leader had placed on it was completely neutralized.

Flames shot into the sky as the Yangyan Crow broke through the blockade and soared into the heavens, flying deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Chase."

The sect leader's expression was not good as he was caught off guard by the escape of Yang Yanwu. He led the group as they hurried through the Star Dou Great Forest. The Yang Yanwu's outburst would eventually end, and soon night would fall, which would be the Star Crown Sect's domain.

As Dugu Bo advanced, he set up some poison arrays along the way. They were not afraid of the Yangyan Crow, but they were afraid of being surrounded by many powerful soul beasts.

The commotion just now was quite significant, and even more powerful soul beasts could arrive at any moment. These poison arrays might be of some help when they retreat.

Under the unleashed power of the Yangyan Crow, its speed was beyond the reach of the offensive and control-type Soul Masters present.

Fortunately, the head soul bone that the sect leader had absorbed gave him a special soul skill, Star Eye, which can greatly improve his observation range and dynamic vision, and consumes very little soul power, allowing him to maintain it for a long time.

Thanks to this soul skill, although the group couldn't catch up, they could still stick to it. As the speed of the Yangyan Crow gradually decreased, it fell from the sky and disappeared into the vast sea of ​​trees.

Even the sect leader's Star Eyes couldn't penetrate the sea of ​​trees. The group increased their speed to the maximum and rushed to the place where the Yangyan Crow disappeared, where there must be traces that could help them find it.
