Triggering a treasure chest in Douluo Continent

Chapter 209 New Continent

The sun was blazing overhead.

boom!

A thunderclap in broad daylight, a sudden gust of wind, and a huge gaping hole suddenly appeared in the calm sky, as if torn apart by some powerful force.

Four figures stepped out from the gap and descended from the sky. The gap behind them closed up as well. The thunder subsided and the gale dissipated. Everything came quickly and disappeared just as quickly.

The four figures falling from the sky landed straight down from a height of 100 meters, like four long nails firmly embedded in the ground, creating four half-meter-deep craters.

These four figures were none other than Shi Quan and his three companions, who had just escaped from Dragon Valley.

"Xiao Quan, is this Douluo Continent?" Zhu Zhuqing raised her hand to shake off the dust around her, then lightly leaped out of the pit, curiously looking around.

"It shouldn't be."

Shi Quan and the other two also jumped out of the pit one after another. Shi Quan said this because he did not feel the unique aura of Douluo Continent from the earth.

"So we're currently on a continent somewhere on Douluo Star?"

"Unsurprisingly, yes."

"Then how do we get back to Douluo Continent?"

After looking around, Shi Quan said, "Let's go to the coastal cities of this continent first and see if we can buy a better ship. If we can cross the sea directly back, that would be best. If not, we'll use a teleportation talisman to teleport back directly."

"Why not just use a teleportation scroll?"

Shi Quan rubbed his nose and said, "Teleportation talismans can only be used three times. Every time we use one, we have one less. Let's save them as much as we can."

"Okay." The three women nodded.

"So, which direction should we head in now?"

Shi Quan thought for a moment and said, "We know nothing about this continent. Before we set off, I'll improve my strength and evolve the fifth spirit ring of my Earth Martial Soul. It shouldn't take long."

"Boss, with your current physical condition, you should be able to absorb it all in an hour at most." Shouhe's figure emerged from between Shi Quan's eyebrows and landed on Shi Quan's shoulder.

"Zhu Qing, Yan Yan, you two protect me while I wait for Shou He to help me evolve my fifth soul ring."

"Okay." The two women nodded in agreement.

Shi Quan then sat down cross-legged, and the Earth Martial Soul appeared in his hand. Shouhe then emitted an earthy yellow light, and a heavy aura permeated the air as it began to evolve its soul rings.

The three women watched the scene before them with curiosity, as it was the first time they had ever seen anything like it.

They were currently in a rural area. Before evolving his soul ring, Shi Quan had already used his spiritual sense to explore the area within a radius of one kilometer.

There was no sign of human presence within a kilometer radius, which is why Shi Quan chose to absorb the spirit ring first.

The three women's current soul power levels are: Dugu Yan level 50, Zhu Zhuqing level 47, and Ye Lingling level 45.

Because the three women were unable to cultivate their soul power during their time in Dragon Valley, their soul power levels hardly improved.

Their current improvement is also due to the increase in soul power they gained from the True Dragon Soul Bone they absorbed before leaving Dragon Valley.

Although Dugu Yan was already level 50, Shi Quan did not let her rush to try absorbing the divinely bestowed soul ring.

Because the lifespan of a divinely bestowed soul ring varies according to the individual's capacity to withstand it.

According to Shi Quan's plan, Dugu Yan still had a soul bone waiting for her to absorb, which was the Fire Dragon King's true dragon soul bone.

In terms of quality, the Fire Dragon King's True Dragon Soul Bone is probably even stronger than the Mountain Dragon King's Torso Bone. After all, the Mountain Dragon King becomes a king upon reaching adulthood, while the Fire Dragon King is a unique and supreme being among the entire fire-attribute True Dragon race.

Once Dugu Yan returns to Douluo Continent and absorbs the Fire Dragon King's True Dragon Soul Bone, it will be a certainty for her to absorb the God-given Soul Ring. Her fifth Soul Ring after 100,000 years will be a sure thing.

As for Zhu Zhuqing absorbing two True Dragon Soul Bones, it also allowed her strength to surpass Ye Lingling's.

Although Zhu Zhuqing did not possess the two Dragon King True Dragon Soul Bones from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Shi Quan prepared Xiao Wu's 100,000-year sacrifice for her, making the whole arrangement fair and just.

"Someone's coming!"

While the three women were chatting, Zhu Zhuqing's ears twitched slightly, and she suddenly stood up and looked at the two women with a serious expression.

"Zhuqing, go scout ahead. Lingling and I will stay and guard the area. Be ready for battle at any time," Dugu Yan quickly made the arrangements.

"it is good."

With a light tap of her toes, Zhu Zhuqing's figure shot out like an arrow. In just a few breaths, she had already arrived at a large tree in the distance and concealed herself.

With a series of clattering sounds, a strangely shaped carriage came into Zhu Zhuqing's view, heading in the direction of Shi Quan's location.

"Was it attracted by the Dragon Valley's fluctuations?" Zhu Zhuqing pondered. After confirming the direction of the carriage, she naturally wouldn't let it continue on its way.

He reached out and twisted a tree trunk, then flicked it back and threw it directly in front of the horses as they were moving.

The horses, startled by the sudden appearance of the tree trunk, came to a stop after a series of disordered trots.

"%￥?"

Three figures leaped out of the carriage, their gazes fixed on Zhu Zhuqing's location.

The three men's clothing and language were noticeably different from Zhu Zhuqing's. Zhu Zhuqing frowned as she looked at them and tentatively asked, "Who are you?"

Upon hearing this, the three frowned, exchanged glances, and then launched into another rapid-fire explanation, which Zhu Zhuqing couldn't understand a single word. Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing became certain of one thing: they couldn't communicate verbally…

Left with no other option, Zhu Zhuqing could only use body language and gestures to make the three of them stop moving forward.

The three of them didn't seem to have expected to encounter such a situation, and one of them tentatively said something.

Zhu Zhuqing could only point to her ears, then wave her hand to indicate that she didn't understand, and then made another series of gestures.

The three of them looked for a long time but were still confused. However, they were also clear about one thing: Zhu Zhuqing was either deaf or couldn't understand what they were saying, and Zhu Zhuqing didn't want them to continue moving forward.

But the three of them were clearly not going to give up so easily. After gesturing to Zhu Zhuqing, they still prepared to move forward.

Zhu Zhuqing couldn't understand what they were saying. Seeing the three of them continue forward, she crouched slightly, her gaze immediately turned cold, and yellow, yellow, purple, purple colors appeared beneath her.

Her sharp, spiky claws gleamed with a chilling, predatory light, and every move she made made her stance clear.

If the three dare to continue forward, she will immediately launch a thunderous attack.

Upon seeing this, the three couldn't help but smile, and simultaneously released their respective martial souls. All three possessed beast-type martial souls, and the leader among them had even reached the seventh ring: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, purple, black, and black.

The other two are also Soul Kings.

"Lingling, you stay here, I'm going to help Zhu Zhuqing." Dugu Yan naturally sensed the strong soul power fluctuations in the distance and immediately rushed towards Zhu Zhuqing.

Dugu Yan released her martial spirit from afar, and in just a few flashes, she arrived behind Zhu Zhuqing, staring at the three people not far away with a serious expression.

"Zhu Qing, what's going on?" Dugu Yan stared coldly at the three people in the distance with her emerald green dragon eyes.

After her journey to Dragon Valley, and with the Dragon God's soul nourishing her body, Dugu Yan's Azure Scale Serpent underwent a transformation, directly surpassing the Azure Scale Flood Dragon and evolving into an Azure Scale Dragon. Although not yet a True Dragon level martial soul, it was still at the sub-dragon level. Furthermore, her physique contained a significant amount of True Dragon bloodline, giving Dugu Yan's Azure Scale Dragon a faint, yet powerful, dragon aura.

The three people in the distance listened to the two women's conversation, their eyes fixed on Dugu Yan with burning desire, because all three of them felt a faint but strong bloodline suppression emanating from Dugu Yan.

In fact, all three of them possessed dragon-type martial souls with dragon bloodlines, and they all came from the same faction. The reason they came here together, as Zhu Zhuqing had predicted, was that they sensed the fluctuations of Dragon Valley.

After the three of them rattled off a string of words to Dugu Yan,

"They seem to want to ask you something," Zhu Zhuqing whispered to Dugu Yan.

"What kind of gibberish are you speaking? I can't understand a word." Dugu Yan rolled her eyes and could only use hand gestures to warn the other party again.

The three men looked increasingly agitated. They exchanged a few more words and then nodded in agreement with the leader.

The two Soul Kings on either side simultaneously attacked the two women.

These two individuals were either powerfully built or defensively-based Soul Kings. One was burly and, after releasing his Martial Soul, became even more imposing, with his body covered in yellowish-brown scales.

The other person had a normal build, but after releasing their martial spirit, they appeared somewhat sinister, with their hands transforming into a pair of cyan claws, suggesting they were more agile and offensive.

"If you're going to do it, then do it. Stop talking for so long." Dugu Yan's gaze turned cold. "Zhu Qing, find your opportunity!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Zhuqing appeared behind Dugu Yan. Dugu Yan stepped forward, and her third spirit ring lit up.

"Third Soul Skill, Azure Scales and Purple Mist!"

A swirling purple poisonous mist erupted from Dugu Yan's body, pressing down on the two of them, and at the same time, her figure disappeared into the poisonous mist.

Wherever the poisonous fog went, vegetation withered. The transformation of her martial spirit not only made Dugu Yan immune to her own toxins, but also significantly enhanced the power of the poisonous fog.

The two looked at the poisonous fog that surrounded them, and their expressions changed slightly. The agility-type Soul King stepped forward, and his fourth Soul Ring lit up.

hold head high!

A powerful dragon roar resounded, and the sound waves transformed into a whirlwind that swept towards the poisonous mist.

Amidst the churning waves of poisonous fog, Dugu Yan's figure emerged from the fog.

Dugu Yan's fourth spirit ring was already shining brightly, and a purple-jade-like light transformed into a dragon that fiercely bit at the person who released the spirit skill.

A yellowish-brown energy screen suddenly appeared in front of the Purple Jade Dragon; it was another Soul King who made the move.

The dragon touched it, and the earthen-yellow light screen instantly turned into jade. However, the dragon only dimmed a little and still bit towards the agility-type Soul King.

The brief delay gave the person time to react, and with a few quick movements, he dodged Dugu Yan's fourth soul skill...
