Douluo Continent: From Blue Silver Grass to Nine-Leaf Sword Grass

Chapter 32 Crimson Thorns

Then, images appeared in his mind, spreading far and wide with the transmission of energy. The images in his mind also expanded, becoming wider and wider, until they spread to a radius of hundreds of meters. He felt as if he were in a blue ocean, and could clearly see the outlines of things in those places.

Even, with focused attention, one can see the smallest details.

It was as if the blue silver grass within the surrounding area had become his eyes, nose, and ears, sharing what he saw and felt.

"This is simply unbelievable!" Jiang Li exclaimed in shock.

"Mental power!" He realized, and for the first time truly felt the existence of this kind of energy.

"So, the reason I was able to internally examine my meridians and perceive the flow of soul power when I absorbed my first soul ring was probably because of my mental strength, because the intensity of my mental strength met the standard!" Jiang Li pondered.

Absorbing a spirit ring can enhance mental strength, as clearly mentioned in the original work. Jiang Li, having lived two lives, already possessed exceptionally strong mental strength. Furthermore, his two instances of absorbing spirit rings beyond his level undoubtedly enhanced his mental strength.

Therefore, his mental strength also increased.

Therefore, with the boost from absorbing the spirit ring, his mental strength reached the required level, allowing him to internally observe his meridians.

Having absorbed the immortal herb, his martial soul evolved, and his spiritual power also increased.

Therefore, he can now sense the information transmitted by the Blue Silver Grass. Of course, the biggest reason is the evolution of his bloodline, which makes these Blue Silver Grass plants willing to actively share information.

"Then why didn't it work inside the Yin-Yang Well before?" Jiang Li fell into deep thought.

"Could it be because of the environment? That makes sense. That kind of place is extraordinary. So many immortal herbs should have developed sentience by now, but it's strange that not a single one has." After figuring out the reason, Jiang Li's tightly furrowed brows relaxed.

"This will make things easier. Finding soul beasts won't be so troublesome in the future," Jiang Li thought to himself.

"What's wrong?" Dugu Bo asked, puzzled, seeing Jiang Li suddenly stop moving.

Hearing Dugu Bo's question, Jiang Li came back to his senses, looked up and said, "I think it will be much easier to find soul beasts this time."

"Why do you say that?" Dugu Bo was completely confused.

Jiang Li smiled and said, "I can sense that the Blue Silver Grass will actively share information with me after entering the forest. In other words, I can easily obtain information wherever there is Blue Silver Grass."

"Then why couldn't you sense it in the herb garden before?" Dugu Bo asked.

"It might be due to the environment. Think about it, there are so many immortal herbs in the herb garden. With so much energy in the herb garden, those immortal herbs should have developed sentience. But not a single immortal herb has developed sentience. I think it might be suppressed by some kind of power. Can you, a titled Douluo, do that?" Jiang Li explained slowly.

"This..." Dugu Bo frowned upon hearing this and lowered his head to think.

Admittedly, he is indeed powerful as a Title Douluo, but he doesn't have this kind of ability. Even a level 99 Title Douluo doesn't have this ability. This kind of power is probably... a god?

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo gasped and said, "You mean? That was left behind by the gods?"

"I don't know, but it's very likely that's the case." Jiang Li shook his head. It's true that there are legends on the mainland, such as the six-winged angel statue of the Spirit Hall, but it is said that it has been a long time since then, and no one knows if it is true.

"Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder. I was wondering why that place was so peculiar, with one ice and one fire element, and so many medicinal herbs. If that's the case, it makes sense." Dugu Bo nodded.

"Alright, hurry up and start hunting for souls. Xiao Li will help you first. As for Yan Yan, we'll find her for you after Xiao Li absorbs her soul ring." Dugu Bo urged. With such a useful ability, of course we should make good use of it.

The three then embarked on a journey to find the soul beast.

Meanwhile, in the southwest of the Tiandou Empire, in the province of Fasno, in the city of Notting.

Tang San, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes. He seemed to feel that two very important things had left him, and he also felt that the flow of his soul power had suddenly slowed down.

Tang San was stunned for a while before he came to his senses.

"What's going on? Why do I feel this panicked feeling?" Tang San murmured. He couldn't understand why he was like this, and after checking himself, he found that there was nothing wrong.

After checking that he was fine, Tang San turned his attention to a sleeping girl with a fair complexion and a scorpion braid.

"Xiao Wu... I will definitely protect you." Tang San vowed in his heart.

.........

Jiang Li, who was far away in Sunset Forest, knew nothing about Notting City. At this moment, Jiang Li had already found a suitable soul beast for him.

"Is this it?" Dugu Bo asked, looking at the Crimson Thorns in front of him.

"Yes, this is it! Master, please get started."

Jiang Li nodded upon seeing this.

The Crimson Thorn is a thicket of thorns covered in sharp, long spikes. Its foliage is abundant, but instead of the traditional green, it displays an eerie red hue. The thorns themselves are extremely hard.

The attack methods typically involve strangulation, shooting spikes, or bleeding.

The Crimson Thorn is very powerful and difficult to deal with, but its defense is relatively weak and it is afraid of fire. However, to kill it, you need to find its true form.

The Crimson Blood Thorn in front of Jiang Li was about fifty meters long and about five thousand five hundred years old. Its dense vines were intertwined and looked extremely terrifying.

Finding a soul beast with the right age limit is almost impossible. Finding one that is 5,500 years old is already very rare for him, and it just happens to be right at his limit.

"Okay, wait a moment." Dugu Bo nodded and then approached the Crimson Thorns.

As Dugu Bo approached the Crimson Thorns, several dark red thorns with sharp spikes emerged from the ground, heading straight for Dugu Bo's body.

"Hmph, a mere trick." Dugu Bo didn't even glance at it, and directly used the Yin-Yang Technique to render the Crimson Thorns' attack ineffective.

As Dugu Bo drew closer, the attacks from the Crimson Thorns became more frequent, but Dugu Bo used the Yin-Yang Technique to render the incoming vines ineffective.

Soon, Dugu Bo arrived in front of the Crimson Thorn's true form.

shhhhhh!

When Dugu Bo walked up to the Crimson Thorns, the thorns on the thorns were densely packed and aimed at him.

"Stubborn to the end. Fourth Soul Skill, Corrosive Poison." Dugu Bo didn't even look, directly reflecting the attack back, and then released his fourth soul skill, Corrosive Poison.

Dugu Bo's fourth soul skill is a highly corrosive poison. Combining his own snake venom with the corrosive poison, it quickly brought Crimson Thorn to the brink of death.

"Come on, Xiao Li, attack here. This part of it has been completely corroded by me, and the poison is about to penetrate to the roots."

Dugu Bo instructed Jiang Li to attack the deepest purplish-black spot on the root of the Crimson Blood Thorn. Below the purplish-black spot were the roots of the Crimson Blood Thorn; a single strike would be fatal.
