Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 299 Deliberately Arranged Methods

Ji Lin flapped his ice wings and landed back on the ground.

The place they are in now is already filled with miasma, but it is very thin.

Ji Lin took a deep breath, released his protective soul power slightly, and disappeared into the thick fog in front of him.

Chi Yuan followed closely behind. With her cultivation level and her ultimate fire, these miasmas were basically ineffective against her.

Ji Lin, protected by crimson protective soul power, maintained a roughly equal balance between the soul power consumed by the poisonous miasma and the soul power that regenerated within his body.

He wasn't worried about being attacked by soul beasts, since the only soul beasts that could live in such poisonous miasma were probably the Azure Phosphorous Seven Absolute Flowers around the valley where the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was located, or the Azure Phosphorous Nine Absolute Flowers, which had evolved into plant-type soul beasts and were extremely poisonous.

Along the way, you just need to be careful of any unexpected situations.

The two maintained their pace as they moved deeper into the poisonous miasma.

It was nearly noon, and the sun was shining brightly. Under the direct sunlight, some of the moisture in the miasma evaporated, and without the aid of a large amount of water mist, the concentration of the miasma decreased significantly.

Looking around, it was a world of vibrant colors. The plants on the ground were so colorful that they almost completely covered the land, obscuring the soil. Trees were scarce, likely corroded by the highly poisonous plants.

It's not just because the moisture in the miasma evaporates, but also because the toxic miasma here isn't as concentrated as in other places.

It seems we are very close to the core area of ​​the poisonous miasma zone.

Ji Lin looked around and, after a brief analysis, quickly came to a conclusion.

The mist rises, and although the poisonous miasma in this area is dense, it clearly rises to the surface. The area below may not be as poisonous.

The poisonous miasma on the ground appeared seven-colored, but it was only a thin mist. Although it would slightly affect visibility, it would not completely block it. Compared to the thick poisonous cloud above, it was naturally much thinner.

The vegetation here is also noticeably different from that on the outskirts of Sunset Forest; many of these plants are incredibly colorful. This dazzling display is definitely not a good thing! Vibrant colors in plants often indicate high toxicity.

Ji Lin transformed the soul power of the ultimate fire within his body into ultimate ice. Cold air condensed beneath his feet, and with each step he took, a layer of frost would form on the ground, isolating the colorful plants on the ground.

At the same time, the Heavenly Fire Judgment appeared in his hand, cutting through the poisonous plants blocking his way.

His extreme fire and extreme ice are indeed the nemesis of poisonous miasma and fog, but he doesn't want his body to come into contact with these things.

As Ji Lin continued forward, he gradually came across some chilling things. On the ground, there were occasionally enormous, multicolored skeletons. These were clearly not plants, but rather the remains of poisoned soul beasts.

He swung the Heavenly Judgment in his hand, and a large patch of plants fell down.

A sudden, strange sound from not far away made Ji Lin subconsciously gather his soul power and look in the direction from which the sound came.

A massive skeleton tilted to one side, its underside clearly corroded and brittle. Then, with a deafening crash, the skeleton collapsed to the ground, shattering into countless fragments. The iridescent colors on its surface intensified.

Ji Lin frowned slightly upon seeing this scene.

The bones of spirit beasts are always the hardest parts of their bodies, some even usable as special materials by humans. The most representative example is undoubtedly the golden dragon spear in Wang Qiu'er's hand. However, in this highly poisonous world, it seems everything will be corroded. The toxicity of this miasma far exceeded his expectations.

Without extreme ice or fire to counteract these poisonous mists and miasma, even a titled Douluo would have to kneel.

Ji Lin frowned deeply and muttered, "These soul beast corpses themselves are already nourishment for the poisonous miasma, which then continuously attacks other creatures, even birds flying overhead. This cycle repeats, making the miasma increasingly powerful. Perhaps, in a thousand years, this Sunset Forest will become a forest of poisonous miasma. Is this really something those plant-type soul beasts that have developed intelligence are actively guiding? That's too strange! Generally speaking, plant-type soul beasts that develop intelligence are relatively simple; they wouldn't be so vicious."

Ji Lin quickly realized something and chuckled, "Heh! If these plant-type soul beasts are influenced by people with wicked intentions and deliberately guide the spread of this poisonous miasma to prevent outsiders from entering and preserve their own pure land, regardless of the lives of other soul beasts in Sunset Forest, that would be in line with his style."

Ji Lin headed directly towards the thickest part of the poisonous miasma, knowing that the more ferocious the miasma, the more likely it was to be the location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

With a goal in mind, they moved even faster, Ji Lin and Chi Yuan advancing rapidly, ignoring the poisonous plants, flowers, and gases along the way.

Finally, in the distance, they saw a world different from what they had seen before.

It was a world of emerald green.

A vibrant green sheen covered the earth, with rows of verdant plants carpeting the land. A verdant mist rose and gradually spread outwards.

These emerald green plants stretched out to both sides. They were not tall, only about half a meter high. Each plant had nine oddly shaped leaves, somewhat like human hands with seven fingers, some even having nine fingers. At their tips bloomed large emerald green flowers.

The emerald green mist emanated from the stamens of these large flowers. It slowly spread outwards and then merged into the colorful poisonous miasma.

The colorful poisonous miasma here is predominantly green.

Ji Lin could see that large swaths of miasma and poisonous clouds were behind these emerald green plants. They gradually settled downwards, but their density was even greater than that in the air.

Without a doubt, the place where they sank must be a valley, which is the location of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.

The cyan phosphorus poisonous cloud produced by the Seven Absolute Flowers condensed and did not dissipate, but it did not drift too far. It simply enveloped the valley.

Judging by how neatly arranged they are, no one would believe that these Seven Wonders of Azure Phosphorous Flowers weren't arranged by human hands.

Ji Lin chuckled lightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. He could understand protecting one's property and treasures, but turning the entire Sunset Forest into a dead end was going too far.

That person practically single-handedly wiped out the soul beast race of Sunset Forest. I wonder if Gu Yuena will be furious after learning the truth.

Ji Lin slowly walked towards the edge of the canyon where the Seven Wonders of the Azure Phosphorus Peacock grew.
