Douluo: Peerless Light.

Chapter 685 Dark Forest, Distorted Soul Body [6000 words]

Although he still hasn't encountered the soul of any creature after death, it is gratifying that Huo Yutong finally sees the hope of getting out of this wilderness.

During the detection of the spiritual realm, the wilderness with purple grass came to an abrupt end about twenty kilometers away from her.

An extremely obvious black barrier like a wall separates the purple grass wasteland from the outside world into two distinct colors.

Looking up, even if the spiritual domain extends to the limit, it is impossible to see how high this barrier that connects the sky and the earth is.

It seems to extend infinitely upwards without end.

At this moment, she was almost moved to tears.

After a month-long trek, she finally saw the hope of getting out of the place she named Zicao Wasteland.

Walking all the way to the border, Huo Yutong tentatively crossed the "barrier" separating the two places after testing that there was no danger.

The moment she walked out of the purple grass wasteland, the vision in front of her suddenly opened up.

Although it was still the gloomy and gloomy tone, it was much better than the everlasting darkness in the Purple Grass Wasteland—at least she didn't have to use mental power to see the scenery in front of her clearly.

However, this situation did not make Huo Yutong feel better.

Because in front of her eyes, there was a scene far more weird than the Zicao wasteland.

The ubiquitous darkness disappeared, replaced by the same eternal gray fog.

The mist is constantly rolling and rolling, and under the light of the light source from nowhere, it presents an extremely treacherous and gloomy scene.

This seems to be a certain forest or the border area of ​​the woods—if the dry and distorted plants with weirdly shaped tall black plants bearing faint blue fruits are really trees if.

Under the gray mist and halo of unknown origin, they reflected huge but twisted limbs and torsos.

From Huo Yutong's point of view, all of this looked like a human body that was constantly howling and struggling in despair.

The all-pervasive gray mist does not seem to be as peaceful as it appears on the surface.

It seems to have its own life, constantly rolling, rolling, and flowing.

Not necessarily in a particular direction, there is no fixed trajectory at all.

Vaguely, there seemed to be some kind of strange black shadow that couldn't be seen clearly moving behind the gray fog.

Huo Yutong didn't know if something was really moving or if it was just a psychological effect.

Since the wind of rest stopped blowing and started to walk until now, she is not in a good state now, and her soul power and mental power reserves are not much.

Therefore, she did not rush to spread the spiritual realm to explore and test.

Before he knew it, the scene in front of him became more and more eerie.

In the underworld, black, gray, and purple seem to be the main theme of everything, like an old black and white movie with weird colors.

Apart from these three colors, Huo Yutong hadn't seen any other colors here.

Huo Yutong hesitated a little standing at the border of the two regions.

She looked at the mechanical watch in her hand, and it was less than half an hour before the next Wind of Rest came.

If you rashly explore an unknown area, if you encounter some force majeure and critical situation, and you don't have enough time to enter the black sarcophagus for refuge, it will be bad.

After hesitating again and again, Huo Yutong decided to lie down here for the time being and wait for the wind of rest to blow by.

It is not too late to explore further until the next day has enough time.

Lying in the black sarcophagus, Huo Yutong stared at the lid of the coffin less than two feet away from him, and felt a strange sense of relief.

After walking out of the wilderness covered with purple grass, the erosion speed of the pervasive negative force has slightly decreased.

This is probably considered good news, reducing the double consumption of mental power and soul power.

Huo Yutong just counted the remaining soul power reserves.

The good news is: she has finally walked out of this inexplicably dark wasteland where there is not even a ghost.

The bad news is: the soul power reserve is running out.

In the underworld, the consumption and loss of soul power is too fast.

Even if you just stay there and do nothing, as long as you are not in a meditative state, your soul power will slowly flow outward at a certain speed.

Even normal walking consumes more soul power than in ordinary battles.

According to Huo Yutong's own estimation, according to the current situation, the soul power reserve in the bottle will be completely exhausted in less than two months at most.

This is still without going through a fight.

In the event of fighting and certain special circumstances.
That situation is already unpredictable.

The familiar wind of rest blows past from above, and after being transformed by the soil of death breath, strands of strange energy are transformed into gentle food to supplement the soul.

Huo Yutong blinked, feeling that the soul power brought by the wind of rest seems to be less this time, and it is more "gentle", not as violent as in the Zicao wasteland.

At least there is no such intrusive howling.

Perhaps, the wind of rest here is less powerful than that on the Zicao wasteland.

What is the reason for all this?
Is the power of the wind of rest linked to the richness of the power of death's breath?
Huo Yutong recalled the feeling when he was exposed to the outside world before, thinking carefully and analyzing everything he perceived.

In this place temporarily named by her as the Dark Forest, the power of death's breath seems to be a little thinner than it was in the Zicao Wasteland.

Probably on par with the situation in the demiplane of the undead.

Not only that, even the quality of Soil of Dead Breath has declined compared to that of Zicao Wasteland, it is not the kind that has been tempered to the extreme.

But for undead creatures, this is still a good place to go.

and many more!

If the wind of rest can give birth to undead creatures, if there are enough soul fragments, will they be given life by the wind of rest and become undead creatures?
Huo Yutong listened to the sound of the wind of rest, thinking quietly in the quiet black sarcophagus, guessing about this world that was suspected to be the underworld.

Twelve hours later, the Wind of Rest stopped on time.

Huo Yutong also recovered the soul power in his body with the help of the milk bottle, and crawled out from the ground again.

After putting the black sarcophagus carrying Qian Chaoguang's body on the trailer, an ice blue long sword appeared in her hand with a clang.

Under the effect of soul power, the blade of this long sword once again presented a texture like ice.

Huo Yutong took a deep breath, checked his equipment, activated the soul force sensing device on the Wuhun armor, and walked towards the interior of the dark forest without looking back.

Qian Zhaoguang's soul injury is still deteriorating, it's time to move on.

In the thick gray fog, the pink-gold spiritual realm continuously reflected the scene in front of him.

On the strange twisted trees, the wood grain of the bark twisted like a human face mourning.

Some trees are entangled together like boa constrictors, and some kind of faint blue fruit the size of half a fist grows from the dark purple vines.

It looks a bit like a mutated apple.

Huo Yutong took out a metal knife made of refined steel and touched it lightly. The moment the sharp tip touched the blue fruit, it evaporated into nothingness.

"What are these things?" In the sea of ​​spirits, Snow Emperor couldn't help but sigh.

In this place, even the well-informed she felt helpless, and even she didn't know as much as Huo Yutong.

Everything that exists in the underworld challenges the worldview she has spent nearly 70 years building up.

The star anise ice grass is dutifully manipulating the soul power detection function to scan all directions.

Hearing Xuedi's complaints, it also released a feeling of approval.

The "Poison Classic" left by Tang San before his ascension, he has read it countless times in his spare time.

But whether it is the medicine chapter or the poison chapter, there is no record of the plants in the underworld.

This caused Star Anise Xuanbingcao to have a strong sense of frustration now, feeling that she can't help anything and can only be a spectator.

Just when the star anise Xuanbingcao felt a little self-pity, suddenly, the soul detection module it manipulated burst out a strong prompt and flicker.

The urgent "didi" sounds almost connected into a series, resounding crazily in Huo Yutong's spiritual sea.

No matter which direction the star anise black ice grass points the soul power detector at, this thing will keep beeping wildly for a moment.

"Bajiao, you come to take over the full authority to use the Wuhun armor, and I will go out to help." Xuedi's expression suddenly became serious.

With a flash of light on his body, the whole person appeared in the outside world in a soul state, and came to Huo Yutong's side.

Two blood-red light streaks flashed from the ribs of the spirit armor, which meant that the star anise ice grass had taken over the main and auxiliary control system of the spirit armor.

The meaning of purple gold in Huo Yutong's eyes was revealed, holding the long sword tightly in his hand, and the yin and yang complementary soul cores were fully functioning for the first time after arriving in the underworld, gathering the soul power to the extreme.

"Xuedi, I feel strong malice." Huo Yutong said, "I can't see clearly in the spiritual realm, and there are a lot of vague shadows gathering in our direction."

"Isn't it a human soul body?"

Snow Empress said as she came to the rear of the trailer.

An identical long sword also appeared in her hand, with white light continuously rippling from the edge of the sword, exuding a sharp aura.

It's just that its long sword looks a bit illusory, and it is completely condensed by spiritual power.

"It's not like, no one deserves the tranquility after death." Huo Yutong said after deliberation, "I can only feel pure negative aura from those large groups of shadows, they are eager to kill and devour."

"It seems that we have to fight a battle." Xuedi nodded, "Little Tong, remember to save your soul power, don't use soul skills if you can, and try to use spiritual power more."

Before Xuedi finished speaking, the pink-gold mental field shook violently for an instant, as if it had suffered some kind of heavy blow.

The gray fog came oppressively at an unprecedented speed and quality, making the spiritual realm seem to have a tendency to go out.

The Eye of Destiny on Huo Yutong's forehead shone brightly, and the continuously added mental power forcibly pushed through the gray fog, lighting up the surroundings again.

Before she could open her mouth to speak, a scream that made her teeth sore came from the gray mist.

There is some kind of unique spiritual attack in the strong scream.

Circles of invisible ripples slammed into the Wuhun battle armor, causing a series of light waves to flicker and then reverberate.

That was the effect of the extremely effective soul protection enchanted by Electrolux on the Wuhun armor.

This also means that this scream is not meaningless, but will produce a strong soul shock and mental disturbance.

Huo Yutong flipped his wrist, turned his body half a circle, and slashed the long sword in the direction of the screaming attack cleanly and sharply.

During the humming of the sword body, a sharp ice-attributed sword energy formed a white light, splitting together with the gray mist like Moses splitting the sea.

A dark gray shadow monster with a head like a jackal but a body like a large wild horse and a tiger tail was instantly split in half.

But it didn't end there.

Just a second after being cut open, the broken body was magically glued together again.

Except that its own body color seems to be slightly lighter, it seems to be the same as before.

But both Xuedi and Huo Yutong clearly noticed that after being cut open once, its strength declined.

Under the light of the spiritual realm operating at full power, what happened in the gray mist can be seen at a glance.

These dark gray shadow monsters can no longer hide their shapes through the environment.

Monsters rushed out of the gray mist one after another, their dark red eyes fixed on Xuedi and Huo Yutong, as if they were looking at a plate of good food.

The strong soul breath is constantly stirring at this moment, it is the undisguised violence and killing intent released by a large number of shadow monsters.

These monsters keep appearing and accumulating more and more.

Some of them looked like suture monsters that were randomly piled up and pieced together from various soul beast parts.

Some have a human-like form, but with beast-like claws and sharp teeth.

Others are simply large groups of souls that are constantly changing in shape, randomly changing into various tentacles and arms.

That extremely sanguine form made Huo Yutong's scalp tingle.

Even the ugliest abominations in the demiplane are many times more benevolent than these monsters in front of them.

At a certain moment, all the shadow monsters collectively released that terrifying scream that could hardly be described in words, as if they had made an appointment.

Intense negative forces almost filled this place, constantly releasing violent mental interference and soul shocks that could be described as terrifying.

The next moment, they roared and charged towards where the two were.

Huo Yutong and Xuedi simply turned around and jumped onto the trailer, standing directly on the black sarcophagus back to back to fight the invading enemy.

"Attack the middle of their dark red eyes! That's their core! This is the deformed soul body!"

The long sword in Huo Yutong's hand surged with sword energy, and he raised his hand and pierced the three-foot green point into the eyes of a monster, and then pierced it from behind.

With a light lift, the dark gray head exploded from it, bursting into a dark red air mass.

The dark red air mass like a sarcoma was divided into two, and a small crystal burst out from it, splashed outward, and rolled down on the ground beside it.

And the original remaining body of the shadow monster fell powerlessly in convulsions, its body disintegrated continuously, turning into streaks of black smoke and dissipating without a trace.

Xuedi didn't know what a deformed soul body was, but years of trust made her subconsciously follow Huo Yutong's words.

The Emperor Sword, which is completely condensed by spiritual power, is as freehand and unrestrained as a butterfly wearing a flower in Xuedi's hands.

Often just a few simple picks and stabs can cleanly get rid of a deformed soul body.

It is true that it has brought a lot of inconvenience to completely transform itself into a soul state.

But correspondingly, it also brought convenience to Snow Empress that she never had before when she had a body.

speed.

Extreme speed.

No matter how fast the body is, it cannot be as fast as the mind.

Back then, before becoming a soul, the speed of shooting would be restricted by the body, and would be restricted by the flow speed of the soul power.

But now, the Xuedi in the soul state really can be called lightning speed.

In one thought, the enemy took the lead.

The only thing that can affect her is the speed at which her soul is completely solidified and the strength of her mental power.

This is why the Darth Vader is the king of melee among the undead creatures-because they are born with super-powerful souls, and they don't need additional distractions at all.

Huo Yutong stood on top of the black coffin, the long sword in his hand flew up and down, beheading the deformed souls that kept flying towards him under the sword.

The Eye of Destiny on her forehead has been kept open, and a huge amount of mental power is constantly being output through the pink core circle.

After the death of the distorted soul body, the transformed black air flow almost renders the place black.

A large number of black crystals burst out from their "brain", everywhere in the wheel.

The strength of these distorted soul bodies is not strong, it can even be said to be extremely weak, generally equivalent to the level of soul masters and great soul masters.

Occasionally there are a few powerful ones, and at most they do not exceed the level of soul masters.

For Huo Yutong and Xuedi, fighting against enemies of this level was like mowing grass in Orochi Warriors on easy mode.

But now the problem is.
There is simply too much grass to be mowed.

Although the strength of the deformed soul bodies is low, their number seems to be endless. The more and more they gather here, they almost fill up the entire area within a few kilometers.

They have no wisdom, let alone fear, only the desire for a pure soul and the killing instinct driven by obsession.

Countless screams sounded from their mouths, and the ripples that circled circle after circle spread towards the center.

On the Wuhun battle armor, the star anise black ice grass controls the soul protection to continuously release the glow, blocking the spiritual attacks jointly released by these deformed souls.

"Xuedi, something is wrong."

Huo Yutong released sword qi from his hands, and cooperated with the soul trial to instantly clear out a large piece of the distorted soul body that had been piled up one after another in front of him.

"The number of distorted soul bodies is still increasing at an alarming rate. We have been fighting for a long time, and instead of decreasing, their number has increased!"

"Increased? How many are there!?"

Snow Emperor was slightly startled, raised his hand and slapped out a palm, killing the future offending enemy.

She doesn't have the spiritual domain like Huo Yutong, and she can't share the effect of skills after being separated. Her vision and perception ability are severely limited, and she can only feel the continuous number of distorted soul bodies.

Without the cooperation of heaven, earth and ice elements, Snow Empress was very uncomfortable.

Except for the three snow emperors she is proud of, the rest can only rely on mental strength and soul itself to fight.

But what's embarrassing now is that even the Snow Emperor's Three Ultimates, she dare not use them lightly - because it would consume the already tight soul power in Huo Yutong's body.

Just relying on physical skills to kill the enemy is really too inefficient.

If you can unscrupulously use a wide range of soul skills to attack, not to mention just this point, even if there are ten times more deformed souls, so what?

"I don't know how many there are, I can't count them! They are piled up in my spiritual domain, and the density is still rising! Snow Empress, we must retreat and return to the Zicao Wasteland. There are no deformed souls there, maybe they can't get through. "

Huo Yutong gritted his teeth, popped out five light blades from his right hand, and swung forward fiercely.

The five pink-gold light blades directly wiped out a large number of distorted soul bodies like sharp claws, and the black crystals crackled and fell to the ground.

The formation that besieged the two exposed a large gap in an instant.

But judging from the speed at which the deformed souls surged up again, this gap probably only lasted for a few seconds.

There seemed to be no retreat in the hearts of these monsters who knew no pain and no fear.

Taking this opportunity, Huo Yutong's mental power suddenly retracted.

With a sharp sweep, he collected all the fallen black crystals, then quickly turned the car around and rushed towards the direction it came from.

"Now, let's go!"

The two-man team began to run wildly through the dark forest shrouded in gray mist.

I am afraid that unless they come to the scene in person, no one may be able to imagine that the powerful combination of Xue Di and Huo Yutong will be forced to retreat strategically by a group of deformed soul bodies that even the soul sect does not have.

Without any supplement of soul power, and unable to see how many enemies there are, the two dare not take the risk of staying any longer.

Going now is just a bit ugly, if you insist on not leaving, you may lose face in the future.

Huo Yutong dragged and charged forward, the long sword in his left hand and the dark gold fear claw in his right.

In the gray mist, under her terrifying attack, distorted soul bodies were continuously turned into black airflows and disappeared without a trace.

Under the serious attack of one move after another, these weak monsters are not the enemy of Huo Yutong at all.

If they had appeared on the Douluo Continent, not to mention the impressive results of forcing the two to retreat.

You can't even get close!

The Zhou Tian Star Dou formation composed of 360 five floating soul guide cannons is not a vegetarian.

Unfortunately, no if.

At the end of the trailer, Snow Emperor almost turned into a humanoid spinning top.

The Emperor Sword condensed by spiritual power in his hand is reaching its limit, constantly reaping the lives of one deformed soul body after another.
