Douluo Continent: God Descends

Chapter 139 Na'er Uses Human Skin Paper Again

"Sister Yali, I should get going too, or I'll miss the registration deadline for Tianhai Academy."

Outside the gates of Shrek Academy, the evening breeze carried a faint scent of grass and trees. Lu Xingchen bent down and sat in the soul-guided flying car that Li Mengjie had parked beside him. He rested his elbows on the car window sill and waved to the three people standing in front of the stone steps, his eyes showing the cheerfulness of a young man.

Yali looked at him, a hint of reluctance in her eyes, but she also knew that the young man had to forge his own path. She took half a step forward and gently instructed him, "Be careful on your journey. Remember to keep your soul guide phone on at all times. If you encounter any difficulties that you can't solve, just contact me. Remember, your master will always be your strongest support."

"Yes, I've got it."

Lu Xingchen nodded emphatically, tapped his fingertips on the car window, and as the engine of the soul-guided flying car began to hum softly, he leaned out and called out his final farewell, "Sister Ya Li, Uncle Yun Ming, Junior Sister Na'er, goodbye!"

"boom""

Pale blue soul energy patterns lit up at the bottom of the flying car, carrying the boy's figure as it slowly rose into the air and sped towards the horizon, eventually turning into a small dot of light and disappearing from sight.

Yun Ming subconsciously touched his smooth face, a wry smile playing on his lips. He shook his head gently, "This brat, why does he always call me 'uncle'? Do I look that old?"

Yali couldn't help but chuckle softly, without replying. She simply turned and walked towards Seagod Island, with Yunming and Na'er following closely behind. The three of them quickly blended into the lush trees on the island.

As soon as she stepped onto the stone path of Seagod Island, Na'er ran towards her little wooden house, calling back as she ran, "Master, Uncle-Master, I'm going back to my room to cultivate!"

Before the words were even finished, the small figure had already darted far away, stirring up a gentle breeze.

Yun Ming and Ya Li exchanged a glance, both of them understanding, and smiled helplessly: "This girl has probably been spurred on by Xiao Chen, and she's determined to catch up."

"Click"

As soon as Na'er rushed into her wooden house, she slammed the door shut and locked the latch, shutting out all the sounds from the outside world.

She leaned against the cold wooden door, took a couple of breaths, then reached into her pocket and pulled out the human skin paper that gleamed with a faint, eerie light. Her fingertips gently traced the surface of the paper, her eyes serious.

"I need to go to Aolai City to pick up my parents. Do you have any reliable suggestions?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a faint black light appeared on the surface of the parchment, and lines of writing slowly emerged:

My name is Na'er. After successfully becoming a disciple of the Sky-Supporting Douluo, the first thing I thought of was my parents, who were in Aolai City and could be found by the Spirit Pagoda at any moment.

For their safety, I asked my master for an excuse to go out, and without telling anyone, I headed alone towards Aolai City.

Na'er nodded slightly. This was indeed like her way of doing things. In order to hide her identity and fabricate a background, she did not control it well and said that she was an illegitimate daughter of a large family who had run away.

If the master were to meet ordinary parents, the carefully crafted lie would surely be exposed on the spot.

Although she knew in her heart that her master was gentle and might not care even if he knew the truth, the embarrassment of being exposed to his face was something she absolutely did not want to face.

The writing on the parchment continued to emerge:

[I dared to travel alone to Aolai City because I had something to rely on. I knew that Gu Yue would never allow someone like me, a half-human, to move freely outside; she would definitely have people secretly monitoring my movements.]

[My guess was right. Gu Yue did indeed send someone to follow me. The moment she learned that I had left Shrek Academy and left the city, she immediately sent Zi Ji, ostensibly as a bodyguard, but in reality, to supervise me.]

[While Zi Ji's strength isn't top-tier among the ferocious beasts, it's more than enough to deal with several ordinary staff members of the Spirit Pagoda.]

However, I miscalculated. Although Zi Ji successfully drove away the people from the Spirit Pagoda, not long after, an evil spirit master calling himself the "Dark Blood Demon" found his residence in Aolai City.

That evil soul master's methods were extremely bizarre, and his cultivation had reached the level of a Limit Douluo. His sinister laughter was chilling. Even though Zi Ji tried her best, she was no match for him.

In this moment of crisis, I had no choice but to forcefully use 30% of the Silver Dragon King's essence, and only with this power could I barely force the Dark Blood Demon back.

I thought the crisis was over, but just then, my parents, whom I had been protecting, suddenly clutched their chests and coughed up blood. They died moments later.

I rushed forward to check on them, only to discover that they had been afflicted by an extremely bizarre curse, and it was this curse that had taken their lives!

It was that evil spirit master, that guy who called himself the Dark Blood Demon, who did it!

"No!!!" I cried out, clutching my parents' cold bodies, but no matter how much I screamed, I could no longer stop this tragic loss.

"No—no, how could Mom and Dad die—"

As she looked at the lines of writing on the parchment, Na'er's eyes instantly reddened, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Even though it was just cold words, she felt as if she were there, seeing her parents fall in front of her, her heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly by an invisible hand, and she could hardly breathe from the pain.

She gripped the human skin paper tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force, the paper crumpled under her teeth. She gritted her teeth and said, each word distinct, "One more time! This wretched paper, predict the future for me one more time! This time, I must save Mom and Dad, I must!"

The parchment trembled slightly in her hand, the black light returned, and new writing slowly appeared:

【My name is Na'er. This time, knowing the crisis my parents were about to face, when I left Shrek Academy, I didn't choose to act alone. Instead, I immediately went to Gu Yue and asked her to send the four regional beasts—Di Tian, ​​Xiong Jun, Wan Yao Wang, and Bi Ji—with me to Aolai City.】

After a heated debate and several stalemates, I finally persuaded Gu Yue to agree to lend me the four ferocious beasts.

]

With the four ferocious beasts by my side, this time, I'm determined to make that evil soul master called the Dark Blood Demon question his very existence!

As expected, upon arriving in Aolai City, the Demon King quickly drove away the Spirit Pagoda staff who had come to harass him. And as predicted, that eerie, sinister laugh echoed from the alleyway entrance; the Dark Blood Demon had indeed arrived.

[I gave the opponent no chance to cast a spell. With a command, the four ferocious beasts, including Di Tian and Xiong Jun, attacked simultaneously, their soul power surging, causing the heavens and earth to change color, determined to smash this evil soul master into mincemeat!]

The Dark Blood Demon first cackled, seemingly disdainful, but the next second, it was completely stunned by the combined attack of the four ferocious beasts!

In mere moments, the Dark Blood Demon's figure was torn apart by the ferocious beast's power, turning into a cloud of blood mist. The combined attack of Di Tian and his three companions was virtually unstoppable in the world.

[But I never expected that this evil spirit master, despite his formidable strength, was also incredibly meticulous and frighteningly cautious in his actions!]

From beginning to end, he never sent his true body. What Di Tian and the others risked their lives to kill was merely one of his blood servants!

Na'er's brows furrowed instantly, her fingertips digging into her palms, her voice filled with disbelief and anger: "They're still alive?! They were just blood servants? Then was the dark blood demon who fought Zi Ji in the first simulation also just a blood servant?"

Before she finished speaking, the writing on the parchment continued to emerge, carrying an even deeper despair:

After the Dark Blood Demon's servant died, my parents, whom I had always protected, suddenly clutched their chests without warning, coughing up large amounts of blood, just like the last time.

Fortunately, I was prepared for this. Almost the instant my parents vomited blood, I activated thirty percent of the Silver Dragon King's essence, channeling its power into their bodies in an attempt to dispel the strange curse.

[The Silver Dragon King wields the Divine Spark of Creation; even with only a third of its original power, it is still a genuine divine force. Nourished and suppressed by this power, the curse within the parents was quickly stabilized, and even began to dissipate little by little.]

However, in the process of suppressing the curse, I instantly understood the principle behind its activation.

This is a powerful curse technique that uses one's life essence as a medium. Once activated, it will follow the aura of the life essence to continuously devour the host's life force until they perish.

[But problems arose one after another. The Dark Blood Demon was merely a Limit Douluo; taking my parents' lives would have been incredibly easy for him. Why go to such lengths, using their life essence as a medium to cast this curse?]

Moreover, how could a complete stranger, a demonic spirit master, have obtained his parents' life essence? All of this is incredibly strange and shrouded in mystery!

Unfortunately, I didn't have time to think about the reasons behind it.

A deafening roar suddenly echoed through the sky. My use of god-level power had triggered a backlash from the rules of the Douluo Continent; elemental lightning tribulation was gathering within the clouds!

"Just a little longer! Give me a little more time!" I gritted my teeth, suppressing the backlash from the dimensional rules with all my might. If I could just hold on a little longer, rescuing my parents with the Silver Dragon King's power of creation would be a piece of cake.

[But misfortune never comes singly. Just at this critical moment, several whooshing sounds suddenly rang out. It turned out that several fixed-position soul-guided shells were being fired in my direction—three level-eight fixed-position soul-guided shells and one level-nine fixed-position soul-guided shell—their power was overwhelming!]

[It was a backup plan by those evil spirit masters!]

Without time to think, I hastily ordered Di Tian and the other three to immediately go and intercept the soul-guided cannonballs.

"Death and Decay!" Just then, a chilling voice suddenly echoed from the void.

A handsome man shrouded in a dense aura of death appeared out of thin air before me. He wielded a jet-black longsword, its blade crackling with deathly soul power, and slashed fiercely at me!

This stranger who suddenly appeared was actually at the quasi-god level! His attacks were incredibly fierce, forcing me to devote most of my energy to defending myself, leaving me no time to focus on suppressing the curse within my parents.

"Blood Demon Curse Kill!"

[And in that instant when I was restrained, the curse that had been suppressed within my parents erupted completely. Black runes spread across their bodies, and their life force dissipated at a visible speed!]

[Boom—] The elemental lightning tribulation, now fully condensed, crashed down from the sky, striking towards me!

The backlash from the dimensional rules, the attack from a quasi-god level expert, and the full-blown outbreak of the curse—three pressures struck simultaneously. Even with the Silver Dragon King's essence protecting me, I could only barely protect myself despite my best efforts, and I was not seriously injured.

My parents, whom I protected behind me, ultimately couldn't hold on and lost their lives.

This time, I failed again.

The writing on the parchment froze on the last sentence. Na'er stared at it, trembling uncontrollably: "How could they be dead again!"

This time, even without anyone pointing it out, she completely saw through the oddity.

That evil soul master who called himself the Dark Blood Demon was only after my parents!

But that doesn't make any sense!

They were just two ordinary people who couldn't even kill a chicken. What made them so special that they could get a Limit Douluo-level evil soul master to personally take action?

What's more, what followed was bombardment from level eight and nine fixed-position soul-guided cannons, and even quasi-god level powerhouses appeared to attack and kill.

One conspiracy after another, layer upon layer, wrapped in deadly intent, surged toward that ordinary couple.

Na'er felt as if an invisible hand was manipulating everything from the shadows, with all the schemes and murderous intent precisely aimed at her parents.

But why exactly?

My parents are just ordinary people who live a law-abiding life. They have neither earth-shattering strength nor wealth that rivals that of a country. How could they attract such a terrifying lineup and be so relentlessly pursued by evil spirit masters?

Na'er clutched the human skin paper tightly, gritting her teeth as she said, "Give me an answer! Why are the people from the Spirit Pagoda looking for them? And why are those evil spirit masters so determined to kill them? What secrets are hidden behind all this?!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the surface of the parchment glowed black again, and a line of simple words slowly appeared, exploding in Na'er's heart like a thunderbolt: [Three rare and precious herbs, each a hundred thousand years old!]

"What?!"

Na'er's silver eyes widened suddenly, her voice rising abruptly, tinged with a frantic, exasperated tone: "Are you robbing me? Three rare, 100,000-year-old herbs! Where am I supposed to get them for you?!"

Three rare and precious plants, each a hundred thousand years old!

Is this piece of paper crazy? Does it even know what it's saying? Forget three plants, she can't even produce one!

Even Gu Yue might not be able to keep a rare and precious herb that is 100,000 years old.

It should be understood that once rare and precious materials reach the level of 100,000 years, they have already developed intelligence and are no different from powerful soul beasts. The soul power and primordial power contained within them are the most precious treasures in the world.

How easy is it to hunt down beings of this level?

Even during the most prosperous period of the Star Dou Great Forest, rare and precious materials that had been around for 100,000 years were highly sought after by ferocious beasts. Once a beast was hunted down, it would immediately devour the materials to temper itself and improve its cultivation. There was no reason for any of them to be left behind.

Moreover, over the past ten thousand years, as human territory has continued to expand, the activity range of the Star Dou Great Forest has been repeatedly compressed. In order to protect the forest and resist human invasion, Di Tian and the others have fought for many years and inevitably suffered serious injuries.

Even if the clan had been fortunate enough to obtain a rare and precious material that had been around for 100,000 years, they would have used it immediately to repair injuries and restore their soul power and physical strength. So why would they have kept it until now?

This paper man is asking for an outrageous amount of money; he's gone mad with greed!

The parchment seemed to understand Na'er's predicament, and words reappeared: [A rare and precious herb over 30,000 years old, exchanged for some information.]

"Can!"

Na'er gritted her teeth, took out a 30,000-year-old black sand ginseng from her storage soul tool, and placed it on the human skin paper.

"Buzz"

With a flash of light, the rare and precious herbs vanished, and new writing appeared on the human skin paper:

[Because Tang Ziran and his wife were interfering with certain people's plans, they had to disappear. They weren't originally supposed to die so soon, but because of your interference, their deaths were brought forward.]
