Douluo Continent: Dragon Shadow Rebirth

Chapter 574: Searching for the Source of Mysterious Power

Chu Tian and others led the elites of the Soul Master Alliance on a journey to find the source of the mysterious power. Their team was mighty, with soul masters who were good at various soul power attributes, as well as scholar-type soul masters who were well versed in the history and geography of the martial soul world.

"This mission is not easy, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack." Zhang Meng scratched his head and said as he looked at the vast unknown area ahead.

Xiaohua hugged Xiaobai and said with a smile: "But we have encountered many tasks that seemed impossible to complete before, but we solved them all in the end."

They first came to an ancient town with a very unique architectural style. The houses were built with huge stones, and the walls were engraved with various ancient runes and patterns.

"This town looks quite old. Maybe we can find some clues here." Ye Li said.

They walked into the town and found that the townspeople were looking at them with curiosity and vigilance. An old man walked over slowly with a cane.

"What are you outsiders doing in our town?" the old man asked.

Chu Tian replied politely: "Old man, we are looking for a mysterious source of power, which is said to be related to the early history of the Wuhun World. You have lived in this town for so long, have you ever heard of anything similar?"

The old man pondered for a while and said, "I seem to have heard something related in the ancient legends of our family. Legend has it that deep in the mountains behind the town, there is a mysterious cave that hides great power, but the cave is guarded by a powerful seal and there are many dangerous soul beasts guarding it."

"Thank you, old man." Chu Tian said.

Following the old man's instructions, they headed towards the back hills of the town. The road to the back hills was very rugged, covered with thorns and strange rocks.

"This road is really difficult to walk on. It feels like they deliberately don't let people in." Zhang Meng complained.

Suddenly, a huge mountain spider hung down from the tree. The body of this mountain spider was as big as a millstone, its eight legs were covered with spikes, and its eyes were shining green.

"Be careful, it's a mountain spider! The venom of this soul beast is very strong." Qin Feng warned.

The mountain spider spit out a huge spider web towards them. The spider web quickly flew towards them, trying to entangle them.

The soul masters of the Star Clan reacted quickly. They released their starlight soul power and burned the spider web to ashes.

"Humph, it's not that easy to trap us." said a soul master from the Xingmang tribe.

Zhang Meng ordered the giant rock bear to charge at the mountain spider, and the giant rock bear's huge bear paw slapped the mountain spider. The mountain spider nimbly jumped to the side, and then stabbed the giant rock bear with its spiked legs.

Ye Li and the Frost Fox released cold air, freezing the ground around the mountain spider and restricting its movements.

Qin Feng held the Dragon Shadow Sword and rushed towards the mountain spider. He saw the right moment and stabbed the mountain spider in the abdomen. The mountain spider let out a painful hiss and curled up.

But it was not defeated, instead it attacked even more frantically, spitting out spider webs again, and this time it released venom.

Xiaohua and Xiaobai also joined the battle. Xiaohua used her soul power to command Xiaobai, and Xiaobai used her speed advantage to run around on the mountain spider to interfere with its attack. At the same time, Xiaohua used her soul power to create a shield to protect everyone from the venom.

With everyone's concerted efforts, the mountain spider was finally defeated. Its body fell to the ground and slowly turned into a burst of soul power that dissipated in the air.

Continuing forward, they finally found the mysterious cave. The entrance to the cave was blocked by a huge stone with complicated runes engraved on it.

"These runes look very complicated. I have never seen such runes before." A scholar-type soul master said with a frown.

After carefully observing the runes, Chu Tian said, "I feel that these runes are somewhat similar to those I saw on the Twin Islands before. Maybe there is some connection between them."

Just as everyone was studying the runes, a low roar suddenly came from the cave.

"There seems to be something big in there, everyone be prepared." Zhang Meng said vigilantly.

They carefully pushed aside the boulder and walked into the cave. The cave was dark and damp, filled with a pungent smell. Deep in the cave, they saw a huge flaming demon lion.

The flame demon lion's body was burning with flames, and its eyes were like two burning fireballs. When it saw Chu Tian and the others, it roared and pounced on them.

The flames of the Fire Demon Lion were extremely hot, and wherever they went, the air was distorted and deformed.

Chu Tian flew into the air and fired his soul blade at the Flame Demon Lion. But as soon as the soul blade touched the flame of the Flame Demon Lion, it melted.

Zhang Meng ordered the Giant Rock Bear to rush towards the Fire Demon Lion. The Giant Rock Bear tried to use its bear paws to extinguish the flames on the Fire Demon Lion, but the flames burned even more vigorously.

Ye Li and the Frost Fox released cold air to extinguish the flames of the Flame Demon Lion, but when the cold air met the flames, a large amount of water vapor was produced, making the visibility in the cave extremely low.

Qin Feng held the Dragon Shadow Sword and searched for the Flame Demon Lion in the steam. He found that the Flame Demon Lion kept changing its position under the cover of the flames, making it difficult to attack its vital points.

Xiaohua and Xiaobai were looking for opportunities. Xiaohua used her soul power to command Xiaobai, who used his speed advantage to shuttle through the water vapor, trying to find the weakness of the Flame Demon Lion.

The soul masters of the Xingmang Clan released their starlight soul power one after another, and their soul power turned into starlight chains and shot towards the flame demon lion. The starlight chains persisted in the flames for a while, but were eventually melted by the flames.

"This is not a solution. We have to come up with a new strategy." Chu Tian shouted.

Just as everyone was thinking hard, the scholar-type soul master suddenly said, "I figured it out! According to my research on runes, this kind of flame demon lion may be more sensitive to a special soul power attribute, that is, thunder attribute soul power."

"Thunder attribute soul power? Who in our team is good at thunder attribute soul power?" Ye Li asked.

At this time, a young soul master stood up and said, "I am good at thunder attribute soul power. I can give it a try."

The young soul master concentrated his thunder attribute soul power, waved his hands, and a bolt of lightning shot towards the Flame Demon Lion. The Flame Demon Lion felt the power of the lightning and its body trembled noticeably.

"It works! Everyone cooperate with him and attack the Flame Demon Lion together." Chu Tian shouted.

Everyone changed their tactics and launched a new round of attacks on the Flame Demon Lion, centering on the young soul master's thunder-attribute soul power attacks.

Under the attack of the lightning-attribute soul power, the flames of the Flame Demon Lion gradually weakened and its movements became slow.

Qin Feng saw the right moment, holding the Dragon Shadow Sword, and rushed towards the Flame Demon Lion. He jumped into the air and stabbed the Flame Demon Lion's throat with a sword. The Flame Demon Lion let out a painful roar, then fell to the ground, and the flames gradually went out.

"Huh, finally got rid of this big guy." Zhang Meng wiped the sweat from his forehead.

They continued to go deeper into the cave and found many strange devices and items in the cave. At the deepest part of the cave, there was a pool emitting a faint light. The liquid in the pool was flashing with light of various colors and emitting powerful soul power fluctuations.

"Could this pool be the mysterious source of power we are looking for?" Xiaohua asked curiously.

After careful observation, the scholar-type soul master said: "I think it is very likely. The soul power fluctuations in this pool are very similar to the characteristics of the mysterious power source we speculated before."

However, when they approached the pool, they found that there was a transparent soul power shield around the pool.

"It seems that it is not so easy to obtain the power inside, and there is a shield." Qin Feng said helplessly.

They began to study how to break the shield. After some effort, they found that the shield required a specific soul power code to open.

"Soul power code? This is a bit tricky." Ye Li said with a frown.

Just when everyone was worried, Chu Tian suddenly found some tiny runes flashing on the shield. These runes looked like ancient numbers.

"These runes may be the key to the code." Chu Tian said.

The scholar-type soul master began to study these runes carefully, and after some calculations, he came up with a set of possible codes.

According to this code, they injected their soul power into the shield in a specific order. After receiving the correct soul power code, the shield slowly disappeared.

They can finally access the mysterious source of power in the pool.

"How do we use this source of power?" Zhang Meng asked.

Chu Tian thought for a while and said, "I think we can try to let a soul master absorb a small amount of power source first to see what the effect is."

Everyone thought this was a good idea. After discussion, they decided to let Qin Feng try it.

Qin Feng carefully put his hand into the pool, and a powerful force surged into his body. He felt that his soul power was growing rapidly, and his sword attribute soul power became purer and more powerful.

"It feels great. My soul power has never been so strong." Qin Feng said excitedly.

However, as the power was absorbed, Qin Feng also felt some side effects. His body began to heat up, and his consciousness became a little fuzzy.

"No, although this source of power is powerful, it is also dangerous. We cannot absorb it blindly." Chu Tian said.

They realized that more research and exploration was needed to safely tap into this source of power.

Just as they were about to conduct further research, the cave suddenly began to shake.

"What's going on? Did we trigger some mechanism?" Xiaohua asked nervously.

"No matter what, let's leave this cave first." Chu Tian shouted.

They hurriedly left the cave, and as soon as they got out, they saw the cave entrance slowly closing.

"It was a close call. It would have been troublesome if we were trapped inside," said Zhang Meng.

Although they have not yet fully mastered the use of the mysterious source of power, this exploration has also brought them a lot of gains. They returned to the Soul Master Alliance headquarters with new discoveries and questions, preparing to further study how to safely and effectively use this source of power. At the same time, they are also thinking about how to share this discovery with the soul masters of the entire martial soul world to enhance everyone's strength and better protect the martial soul world.
