Douluo Continent: Dragon Shadow Rebirth

Since destroying the control device of the Dark Cult, Qin Feng and his team have become more famous inside and outside the academy. Although the tasks are one after another, their adventurous spirit and teamwork have become more skilled. However, as new clues emerge, they are pushed to new challenges.

The mornings at the academy are always accompanied by the shouts of students practicing martial arts and the strict instructions of instructors. Qin Feng and his group are sitting by the playground, leisurely enjoying the rare leisure time.

Chu Tian yawned and stretched: "Finally I can take a break! These tasks have been endless recently."

Ye Li smiled and said, "Rest is for walking further. You always want to be lazy."

Zhang Meng picked up a large piece of bread, took a bite, and said vaguely: "That's right, spiritual beasts also need to eat and rest, why can't we rest?"

Wang Yue patted Chu Tian on the shoulder and teased: "Look at you, you're so lazy, like a cat that hasn't woken up yet."

Chu Tian looked aggrieved: "I'm conserving my energy! Conserving my energy! Do you understand?"

Qin Feng was about to interrupt when he heard hurried footsteps in the distance. He turned around and saw a panicked student running over, shouting, "Qin Feng! Qin Feng! Something big has happened!"

"What happened?" Qin Feng stood up and looked serious.

"We found some strange symbols on the outskirts of the Spirit Beast Forest. They seem to have been left by the Dark Sect!" The student said breathlessly, bending down and holding his knees to catch his breath.

Chu Tian frowned: "What is the Dark Cult doing again?"

Ye Li nodded: "We'd better go and take a look immediately."

Qin Feng motioned for everyone to follow him. He turned to the student and said, "Lead the way and tell us the exact location."

The student nodded, turned around and led them to run towards the Spirit Beast Forest.

The atmosphere of the Spirit Beast Forest is always full of mystery and unpredictable dangers. As they go deeper, the trees around them become more dense, and a strange atmosphere permeates the air.

"Where are these symbols?" Qin Feng asked in a low voice, tightening the Dragon Shadow Sword in his hand.

The student pointed to a big tree in front of him: "It's over there, on the trunk."

They walked quickly to the tree and saw several strange symbols carved into the trunk, with a faint dark aura surrounding it.

"What is this?" Zhang Meng touched his head and looked at the symbols.

Ye Li observed it carefully for a while and frowned: "These symbols are very similar to what we saw in the Dark Sect's stronghold before."

Chu Tian reached out to touch the symbol, and suddenly felt a chill coming from his fingers, and immediately retracted his hand: "These symbols seem to have some kind of evil energy."

Qin Feng thought for a moment, then turned back and asked the student: "How did you find these symbols?"

The student scratched his head awkwardly: "I came here to pick mushrooms, but I accidentally saw these symbols and felt something was wrong."

"Picking mushrooms?" Wang Yue couldn't help laughing, "You really know how to pick a place."

The student smiled sheepishly: "Who knew I would pick these up!"

Qin Feng shook his head: "Okay, these symbols definitely did not appear here by chance, we have to continue investigating."

They continued to go deeper into the forest in the direction of the symbols and soon found more similar symbols, each one more complex and profound than the previous one.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound from the bushes ahead. Chu Tian raised his hand to signal everyone to stop: "Everyone be careful, there is movement!"

Everyone quickly went on alert. Qin Feng gently pushed aside the bushes and saw a figure squatting on the ground, seemingly busy with something.

"Who is there?" Qin Feng asked loudly.

The figure suddenly stood up, turned around and ran away at an extremely fast speed.

"Catch up with him!" Ye Li shouted.

Qin Feng and his companions immediately rushed out and chased after him. However, after just a few steps, the fleeing figure suddenly stepped on a loose ground and fell to the ground in an instant.

"Catch him!" Zhang Meng roared, rushed forward and grabbed the man by the back of the collar.

"Let me go! Let me go!" The man struggled and turned around, but saw a familiar face.

"Ye Ying?!" Qin Feng and Ye Li shouted at the same time.

Ye Ying looked at them helplessly: "Don't be so rude, I'm here to help!"

Chu Tian put down his fist and breathed a sigh of relief: "Why are you here?"

Yeying dusted himself off and stood up: "I discovered some movements of the Dark Cult and was about to look for you. I didn't expect you to have found this place."

Ye Li asked suspiciously, "What were you doing here just now? We thought you were an enemy."

Yeying sighed: "I am cleaning up those dark symbols to prevent them from spreading further."

Qin Feng nodded: "I see. It seems we misunderstood you."

"You are always so impulsive." Yeying smiled, "But I'm used to it."

Wang Yue couldn't help but laugh: "Well, we are indeed a little impatient. But with you here, our investigation should go more smoothly."

Yeying nodded: "Then act quickly and don't waste time."

They continued walking deeper into the forest, and suddenly heard bursts of joyful shouting in the distance, as if something was celebrating.

"What's that sound?" Chu Tian asked puzzledly.

Yeying smiled: "Oh, this is the feast of the spirit beasts. Every year at this time, the spirit beasts will gather together to share their food and joy."

"A feast for spirit beasts?" Zhang Meng looked expectant. "It sounds interesting."

"Can we go and take a look?" Wang Yue also seemed very interested.

Yeying nodded: "Of course. But just don't disturb them."

They approached the feast carefully and found a wide field of grass where various spirit beasts had gathered. The spirit beasts had laid out a large number of colorful fruits and spirit herbs and were dancing happily in a circle.

"Wow, this is so interesting!" Ye Li couldn't help laughing.

"Look at those spirit beasts, they are jumping so happily." Zhang Meng scratched his head, "Why do I feel like they are happier than us?"

"Their lives are much simpler and happier than you think." Night Shadow explained, "At this time of year, they forget all their worries and just enjoy the joy of this moment."

"Then can we join them?" Chu Tian asked jokingly.

"Of course you can, as long as you're not afraid of being whipped away by their tails." Yeying joked.

Qin Feng looked at this joyful scene and felt relieved. He turned to Ye Ying and said, "Ye Ying, do you think these spirit beasts know about those symbols?"

Yeying thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure, but I can try to ask them."

They slowly approached the gathering of spirit beasts, and a larger spirit beast noticed their arrival and walked over. This spirit beast had blue fur and golden eyes, and looked very majestic.

"Who are you?" the spirit beast asked in a low and majestic voice.

Qin Feng stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "We are students from the Soul Master Academy. We are here to investigate some dark symbols."

The spirit beast nodded, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes: "Those symbols do make us feel uneasy. We have sensed that the atmosphere of this forest is changing."

"Do you know where these symbols come from?" Ye Li asked.

The spirit beast shook its head: "We don't know the exact origin, we only know that they suddenly appeared and brought an ominous feeling."

Ye Ying thought for a moment and said to the spirit beast: "We will continue to investigate and ensure your safety."

The spirit beast nodded in thanks: "If you need help, you can always come to us. Now, please join our feast and relax."

At the invitation of the spirit beasts, Qin Feng and his friends joined this special feast. Everyone shared the fruits and spirit herbs prepared by the spirit beasts, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

Chu Tian couldn't help but eat a few spiritual fruits and praised: "These things are so delicious! We can bring more back next time."

Zhang Meng laughed: "Don't eat too much, save some room for dinner."

Just when everyone was happily enjoying this rare tranquility, a figure suddenly appeared and broke the moment of peace.

"Qin Feng, I found you!" A hurried voice came from the woods. It was a messenger student from the academy.

Qin Feng put down the spiritual fruit in his hand and frowned: "What happened?"

The student ran up to them breathlessly and said anxiously, "The vice president wants you to go back immediately. He has something important to tell you!"

Ye Ying's expression was stern: "It seems there is a new situation."

Qin Feng nodded and stood up: "We have to go back immediately."

Everyone quickly ended their short rest, said goodbye to the spirit beasts, and prepared to rush back to the academy.

"I can't even eat in peace." Chu Tian muttered.

"This is our life, isn't it?" Ye Li teased.

Qin Feng looked at his companions with a smile, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "No matter what happens, we will face it."

They ran quickly through the forest towards the academy, ready to face new challenges.
