Douluo: Eternal Sword Heart

Chapter 23 The Forest
After Ju Douluo explained a few more things, he sent the two of them back to the earthen house to rest.

They slept very soundly that night, or because of the medicinal bath and the drinking of animal blood, both of them felt that their bodies had undergone earth-shaking changes, completely different from before.

Early the next morning, before dawn, when the sun was just rising, Jiang Li and Hu Liena were already standing at the door of the wooden house, waiting for Ju Douluo to give them new tasks.

"Well, you guys came early, I'm very satisfied." Ju Douluo dismissed the two people who were standing upright, and said calmly.

Looking at Ju Douluo's still stiff face, Jiang Li couldn't help feeling a little nervous, afraid that he would give him another difficult task.

"As I said before, our task this time is to plant flowers, so everything must revolve around planting flowers." Ju Douluo paused, and continued: "But before that, we have to get some fertilizer back Just do it."

"Didn't we bring it?" Jiang Li asked puzzled.

Chrysanthemum Douluo said lightly: "The fertilizers you brought have already become the herbs you used for bathing yesterday."

Jiang Li: "."

Seeing that no one spoke, Ju Douluo continued: "The eggs of certain soul beasts are very suitable for being used as nourishment for plants, so I need you to get them here."

"Stealing eggs?" These two words appeared in Jiang Li's mind. In his previous life, he often went to steal bird eggs when he was a child, but this was the first time for him to steal soul beast eggs.

"What kind of soul beast eggs do I need?" Hu Liena asked curiously.

"The egg of the speed eagle." Ju Douluo said.

"Speed ​​Eagle?" After thinking for a while, Hu Liena turned to Jiang Li and asked, "Junior Brother, have you ever heard of this kind of soul beast?"

"No." Jiang Li shook his head honestly. As a time traveler, he didn't know anything except Daming Erming and other famous soul beasts.

Seeing Jiang Li shaking his head, Hu Liena frowned with pretty eyebrows, looked at Ju Douluo, and said, "Uncle Ju, can you tell us about the Swift Eagle?"

Ju Douluo shook his head with a stern face, and said flatly, "No, but I can tell you where the Speed ​​Eagle's lair is."

After speaking, he looked towards the southeast corner of the distant mountain forest, pointed to an ancient tree with a height of several hundred meters and said: "The swift eagle's nest is about the middle of the tree, and the swift eagle is very ferocious, you go Don't be discovered when you take the egg."

Seeing Ju Douluo's serious face, Jiang Li and the two also nodded seriously, without any carelessness.

"Let's go when you're ready, I'll wait for your triumphant return here." Ju Douluo smiled faintly, waved his hand, and signaled them to leave quickly.

Jiang Li and Hu Liena looked at each other, then nodded heavily, turned and left, entering the vast primeval forest.

Not long after the two left, a black light flashed behind Ju Douluo, and Ghost Douluo quietly appeared.

"Old Ghost, I'll leave these two children to you, and the Speed ​​Eagle is not easy to deal with." Ju Douluo squinted his eyes and whispered to himself as he watched the two children go away.

"Leave it to me."

Ghost Douluo still answered so simply.

Walking into the forest in the direction that Ju Douluo pointed them out, Jiang Li and Hu Liena looked vigilant and nervous, carefully observing their surroundings.

There is no trace of development in the forest, it is completely primitive, the trees are tall and lush, each tree is almost 30 meters high, like a towering green pillar.

Under the green shade of this stretch of tall trees, there is a world full of vitality and danger everywhere.

Poisonous insects appeared on the ground from time to time, the bushes and soil were full of the stench of bones, and the roars of various large spirit beasts exploded in my ears like dull thunder.

And the rolling Yin Qi made both Jiang Li and Hu Liena shiver uncontrollably.Compared with the thin clothes on their bodies, the yin energy in the forest is invincible, making people shiver and shiver.

"Roar!!"

Suddenly there was an earth-shattering roar in the forest, it was unknown that it was caused by some kind of spirit beast, and it actually made the whole forest tremble.The trees swayed wildly, and the leaves swayed down, making the quiet forest suddenly agitated.

Jiang Li and Hu Liena's faces were pale, and their faces were not very good-looking. They had already walked a certain distance and completely left Ju Douluo's range. If they encountered any large and ferocious soul beasts, it would be difficult not to have a cold ending.

"Senior Sister, why don't we go another way, there seems to be something in front of us." Jiang Li said in a trembling voice with a pale face, and at the same time, an orange light flashed in his right hand, and the Muyang Nine Heavens Sword quietly appeared in his palm.

He is not a hero, let alone heroic and courageous, he is just an ordinary person, even if he has time-traveled, he is still just an ordinary person after all.

People's fear of the unknown is inevitable, this is true for heroes, and it is even more true for ordinary people.

"No, it will take at least one more day to go the other way." Hu Liena shook her head and said with a sigh.

The long-term high concentration also made her breathless, and the continuous release of mental power made her face extremely pale.

Seeing Hu Liena's refusal, Jiang Li didn't say anything more, just nodded silently, and continued to walk forward.

Although he was not a native of Douluo Continent, Jiang Li had lived in the countryside in his previous life anyway, and he grew up guarding a forest.

Therefore, it is not too difficult for him to walk in the mountains and forests, but the difference is that there are various unknown risks here, Jiang Li must be extremely cautious, otherwise there is a risk of death.

The further you go, the more yin qi emanating from the forest becomes stronger.

Jiang Li could obviously notice that Hu Liena's hands were already trembling uncontrollably.

Turning his head to look at the endless forest in front of him again, Jiang Li put his soul power into the Muyang Jiuxiao sword in his hand without hesitation.

There was only a buzzing sound of the Muyang Jiuxiao Sword, and a warm orange light immediately radiated from the blade.The orange light immediately enveloped Jiangli and Hu Liena's bodies, protecting them from the yin energy coming from the forest.

Unleashing the martial soul already cost Jiang Li a lot, so using the soul power at this time would definitely add fuel to the fire.After a while, Jiang Li's face became even paler.

"I'm fine, take back your soul power." Hu Liena said suddenly, under the envelope of orange light, her face gradually became rosy, which was obviously much better than the bloodless white before.

"Without soul power, with our level, I'm afraid we can't even survive the yin energy in the forest." Jiang Li smiled wryly, but his pale and stiff face made his smile a bit ugly.
