Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 219 Rolling Boulder

"Let's go to the next level!"

Xiao Yu waved to the three women. Since the second prison was full of skeleton soldiers and there were no monsters that could produce replacement soul ring cores, Xiao Yu had not been able to find a way to break through to the Soul Douluo level in his battle with the regional knights. So the group did not stay any longer and quickly headed toward the third prison after a short rest.

The Third Hell is a place to punish the stingy and the spendthrift. The environment is not much different from the Second Hell. Dense dark elements permeate the surrounding air, except that the originally flat plains have been transformed into uneven rocky mountains.

The group maintained the same formation they used to charge the undead army in the second prison, dodging and weaving among the rocks as they gradually ventured deeper into the third prison.

"Watch out!"

Just as the group ventured deeper into the mountains, Xiao Yu, the strongest among them, was the first to become alert and shouted.

The next moment, countless rocks rained down from the height. The boulders rolled down very quickly, and in just a few breaths, they had reached Xiao Yu and the others.

Xiao Yu, Qian Renxue, and Huo Wu did not hesitate. They each released their martial souls and, relying on their physical strength, did not even need to release their soul skills to smash the stones that rolled in front of them into rubble.

Huge boulders rolled down from afar without ceasing, like crashing waves or galloping horses; the valley was filled with the sound of boulders rolling by.

Although these falling rocks couldn't harm Xiao Yu and his companions, or even deplete their soul power, the relentless attacks were still quite annoying. Xiao Yu didn't want to waste time on such a pointless thing.

"First, find the guy who launched the attack!"

Xiao Yu cleaved several flying rocks in two with a single sword strike, then unleashed his full mental power, which spread rapidly in all directions, quickly locating the attacker.

"That direction!"

Xiao Yu raised his hand and pointed, his wings flapping as he flew off in that direction first: "I'll lead the way, you all follow behind!"

The three women nodded in unison. Qian Renxue's golden wings unfurled behind her, Ye Lingling used the flight skill of the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, and Huo Wu used her long legs to unleash amazing jumping power, following closely behind Xiao Yu towards the direction from which the falling rocks were rolling.

Xiao Yu's body suddenly shone with black light as he charged towards the rolling boulders. His powerful soul force erupted, shattering the seemingly enormous rocks into pieces.

Soon, Xiao Yu and the others clearly saw the culprit behind the continuous rockfall attack against them.

Those were the Flame Demon Apes that had appeared in the First Prison, numbering in the hundreds, varying in size. Xiao Yu suspected that the Flame Demon Ape that had been bound by a slave contract with the Dark Punisher was likely one he had secretly taken from the Third Prison.

"Fire Dancer, you're really lucky!"

Xiao Yu turned his head, raised an eyebrow and smiled at Huo Wu: "There are over a hundred Flame Demon Apes here, at various cultivation levels. You'll have to choose your sixth spirit ring carefully!"

Looking at the more than one hundred Flame Demon Apes of varying cultivation levels ahead, Huo Wu was quite satisfied. Her eyes crinkled into a half-smile as she said, "Then this humble woman must thank Young Master Xiao!"

"Roar!!"

Just then, the leader of this group of fire demon apes, a behemoth over twenty meters tall, appeared. Its strong limbs and broad chest formed a unique body shape, and its thick fur provided the most solid defense.

Upon noticing Xiao Yu and the others approaching, the Flame Demon Ape let out a thunderous roar. Hundreds of other apes stopped pushing the boulder and surged forward like a burst dam, pounding their chests with their fists as they charged, seemingly to unleash their full potential.

"Fire Dance, protect Lingling!"

This group of Flame Demon Apes is different from the skeleton army of the Second Prison. Although they are not as numerous as the skeleton legion, they are very strong. Each of them has a cultivation level of Soul Emperor or above. Moreover, they are fire-attribute, so Huo Wu's attacks are not very effective against them. Therefore, Xiao Yu asked her to stay in place to protect Ye Lingling, the healer who was providing support from the rear.

Xiao Yu and Qian Renxue flapped their wings together and charged toward the gorilla troop with lightning speed.

"Third Soul Skill, Holy Light Meteor!"

With a long roar, Qian Renxue's third purple soul ring lit up, and countless meteors shimmering with golden light condensed in the sky behind her, shooting wildly towards the oncoming horde of apes.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After breaking through to level 70, Qian Renxue, possessing a divine-level martial soul, was already as strong as a titled Douluo-level expert. A golden meteor crashed into the gorilla horde, and the red ocean of raging demonic flames surged violently under Qian Renxue's meteor strike. The gorilla horde, struck head-on, immediately scattered like headless flies.

"Not bad, it seems your skills have improved again!"

A glint flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes. From the attack just now, he could clearly feel that Qian Renxue's soul power had broken through to level 75.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Thousand Nether Sword Techniques!"

Although Xiao Yu, who came from Blue Star, did not have any chauvinistic ideas, it did not mean that he could sit idly by and watch Qian Renxue steal the limelight in front of him. His dark fourth soul ring shone brightly, and countless sword shadows covered half the sky, pouring down like a rainstorm.

The gorilla troop, already thrown into chaos by Qian Renxue's meteor attack, suffered another heavy blow. Sharp sword light pierced through the gorillas' rock-hard skin, and in the blink of an eye, more than half of the hundreds of fire demon gorillas were killed or wounded.

"roar!"

Seeing that its tribe had suffered heavy casualties in a short time, the leader, who should be called the King of the Flame Demon Apes, instantly flew into a rage. His furious roar was like a thunderclap in the sky, and the energy in his body surged wildly, creating a terrifying shockwave. The strong energy fluctuations spread in all directions, and even Xiao Yu and Qian Renxue had to stop their forward steps.

"Looks like another 100,000-year-old soul beast!"

Qian Renxue stared intently at Xiao Yu with her bright black eyes and said, "How so? It's up to you!"

"certainly!"

Xiao Yu chuckled, "I can feel that my soul power is increasing very quickly during battles. I have a feeling that after two more battles like this, I'll be able to reach the level 80 bottleneck!"

"Then I'll wait and see!"

With golden wings flapping behind her, Qian Renxue slowly rose into the sky, becoming a proper spectator.
