Douluo Continent: Dragon Shadow Rebirth

After exploring the mysterious cave, Qin Feng and his team returned to the village with a shining gem. They thought they could finally have a few days of leisure on this trip. However, as soon as they entered the village, they saw the village chief anxiously wandering at the entrance of the village, as if waiting for someone.

"Hey! You guys are finally back!" When the village chief saw them, a relieved smile appeared on his face, as if he had seen a savior.

Zhang Meng scratched his head and asked in confusion, "Uncle Village Chief, you don't want us to help you with something strange again, do you?"

The village chief nodded vigorously: "Yes! This time there is really a big problem that needs your help to solve!"

Chu Tian sighed, as if he had accepted his fate: "The village really can't do without heroes like us. Tell me, what's the trouble?"

The village chief approached them and asked mysteriously, "Have you heard of the 'guardian' of our village?"

"Guardian? What guardian?" Qin Feng frowned, obviously confused.

"There is a mysterious soul beast in the village, which has been guarding the safety of our village for generations. It used to be very calm, but recently, its temper has become more and more violent. From time to time, it roars at the edge of the village, scaring the elderly and children in the village." The village chief's tone was full of anxiety.

When Zhang Meng heard it was a soul beast, his eyes lit up immediately: "Hey, soul beast? Let me take action, I can definitely beat it into submission!"

"Are we going to beat up your 'Guardian'?" Ye Li was a little hesitant. After all, it sounded like an important existence in the village.

The village chief shook his head: "No, no, no, we don't want to hurt it. In fact, we think it might be sick or have some unresolved emotional issues. Can you go and take a look and find out what the problem is?"

Chu Tian turned his head and looked at Qin Feng: "Boss, what do you think? After all, we don't want to cause trouble."

Qin Feng thought about it and nodded, "Since the village is in trouble, let's go and take a look. Don't worry, Village Chief, we won't let the 'Guardian' get into trouble."

The village chief was so excited that he almost cried: "That's great! That's great! I feel relieved to have your help!"

In the following time, the village chief took them to the habitat of the "guardian" - a mountain outside the village, where the mountains are green and the air is fresh. Along the way, the village chief kept telling the story of the guardian, calling it the village's sacred beast, who had saved the villagers from many dangers.

Qin Feng listened in fascination, and couldn't help but feel awe in his heart. He didn't expect that this soul beast was not only a powerful guardian, but also deeply loved by the villagers.

After walking for a long time, they finally came to a huge open space with a bottomless cave. Legend has it that the guardian lives in this cave.

Zhang Meng approached the cave entrance and shouted, "Hey! Uncle Guardian! We are here to help you solve the problem! Are you okay?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening roar came from the depths of the cave, followed by a gust of wind that blew out of the cave, blowing up the dust all around.

Chu Tian quickly took a few steps back: "It seems that it is in a really bad mood."

As the dust cleared, a huge soul beast appeared in front of them. It looked like a huge snow leopard, with a light blue light covering its body and a hint of irritability and anger flashing in its eyes.

"Is this the guardian?" Ye Li exclaimed, "It seems to be injured!"

Qin Feng took a closer look and found that there was indeed a deep wound on the snow leopard's front paw, and it was still bleeding.

"It looks like it had a tough battle with another soul beast recently." Qin Feng said in a deep voice, "The wound is infected, and it is emotionally unstable, probably because of the pain."

"Then let's treat it quickly! I brought medicine!" Zhang Meng took out the herbs given by the village chief and prepared to go forward to treat the snow leopard.

However, the snow leopard was apparently very sensitive to the approach of humans. When it saw Zhang Meng approaching, it let out a warning growl and prepared to attack at any time.

“Wait, wait!” Chu Tian hurriedly grabbed Zhang Meng, “If you go over there, it will not treat you as a pharmacist, but as dinner!”

"I'm not that delicious!" Zhang Meng smiled innocently and touched his stomach.

Qin Feng was not idle. He slowly approached the snow leopard, his eyes full of comfort. At the same time, he released a trace of the Dragon Shadow Sword's spiritual power, and the blue sword light flickered slightly in his hand, exuding a calm atmosphere.

"Don't worry, we are not here to hurt you." Qin Feng said softly.

The snow leopard turned its head slightly, as if looking at Qin Feng. Although it remained vigilant, it did not seem to attack immediately.

"Ye Li, use your frost fox to help lower the temperature around you. Snow leopards should like cold environments." Qin Feng continued to command.

Ye Li nodded and summoned her frost fox. A chill slowly spread from the frost fox, and the air around it instantly became much cooler. The snow leopard's expression relaxed a little and no longer showed hostility.

Qin Feng took the opportunity to slowly approach the snow leopard and reached out to touch its injured front paw. The snow leopard snorted softly, but did not attack. Qin Feng took this opportunity to quickly apply the herbs that Zhang Meng brought to its wound. A faint green smoke immediately emerged from the wound, and then the snow leopard's expression was obviously relieved.

"Okay, the wound has been treated. It will take some time to recover." Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief and patted the snow leopard on the back.

Zhang Meng laughed: "Haha, done! I told you, this kind of little thing won't be a problem for us!"

The snow leopard seemed to understand their good intentions. It stood up, growled, nodded to them, and then slowly disappeared into the depths of the cave.

"We succeeded!" Chu Tian jumped up excitedly, "The guardian has recovered, and we have completed the mission!"

Ye Li smiled gently: "It's really a special experience."

Qin Feng smiled as he watched the snow leopard disappear into the cave, thinking to himself, "Perhaps this guardian will appear again at some critical moment in the future."

When they returned to the village, the village chief had been waiting for a long time. When he learned that the guardian's injuries had been treated, he was so excited that he almost knelt down to thank them.

"You are really the heroes of the village! Thank you so much!" The village chief held Qin Feng's hand and kept thanking him.

Chu Tian waved his hand, looking very proud: "This is our daily work, there is nothing to thank you for."

Zhang Meng suddenly remembered something and shouted to the village chief, "Oh, Uncle Village Chief, didn't you say that the guardian protects the safety of the village? Then why was it injured recently? Is there some other danger approaching?"

The village chief's face suddenly changed, and he stammered, "Ah... well... maybe..."

"Maybe what?" Ye Li frowned, realizing that things were not simple.

The village chief sighed and lowered his voice, "In fact, I heard that there is a mysterious force active outside the village recently. They seem to be looking for something, and they may have hurt the guardian because of it."

"Mysterious force?" Qin Feng's brows frowned instantly, "It seems we still need to investigate."

Although the guardian's wounds have been healed, a bigger mystery has emerged. Qin Feng and his party know that their journey is far from over, and perhaps this is just the beginning of another bigger adventure.
