The scorching sun hung overhead.
The carriage ridden by Qian Renxue and Qian Ranjue had already arrived at the outer edge of Sunset Forest.
Just after landing—
Qian Ranjue could hear all kinds of sounds coming from within the jungle.
Insect cries, beast roars, and the rustling of leaves in the wind.
Ling Yuan, Snake Spear, and the three Titled Douluo stood separately in three directions.
"Squeak squeak!"
Returning to the forest again, the Soft Bone Rabbit on Qian Ranjue's shoulder became excited.
"Don't run around. If you get eaten, I won't care."
"Squeak—!"
Qian Ranjue lifted his hand and caught the Soft Bone Rabbit mid-jump, holding it by the scruff and shaking it lightly twice.
The Soft Bone Rabbit immediately behaved, looking around warily.
Qian Renxue put away the carriage, held Qian Ranjue's arm, and softly asked:
"Jue, what do we do next?"
"Elder Sister."
Qian Ranjue softly called her, then pointed toward the depths of Sunset Forest:
"We advance inside Sunset Forest, and let the Elders search from above to find that poisonous mist."
"Alright."
Qian Renxue nodded slightly.
She then commanded Ling Yuan and the others: "Ling Yuan, you stay and take charge of safety. Thorn Jellyfish, Snake Spear, you two are responsible for locating the poisonous mist."
"Yes, Miss."
Ling Yuan and the others bowed and responded.
Just as Thorn Jellyfish and Snake Spear were about to ascend, Qian Ranjue quickly added:
"Right, Elders — also pay attention to any ten-thousand-year soul beasts with dark attributes nearby. Mark their general positions for later use."
"Understood!"
Snake Spear and Thorn Jellyfish answered together. They donned their masks and flew upward.
"Elder Sister, let's go too."
"Mm."
Qian Ranjue held Qian Renxue's delicate hand and walked toward the inner forest.
Ling Yuan Douluo followed behind.
The aura of Titled Douluo was being released freely, like it cost nothing.
Like this, even if the hundred-year or thousand-year soul beasts didn't have high intelligence, they were forced to retreat far away from Qian Ranjue's group.
In Sunset Forest—
Qian Renxue and Qian Ranjue felt no pressure at all, strolling as if sightseeing.
...
At the Spring of Ice and Fire.
Steam rose, exotic flowers and rare plants everywhere.
Outside a wooden hut, the ten-year-old Dugu Yan sat alone on a small stool.
Holding a small palm fan, she gently fanned the furnace in front of her, occasionally adding firewood.
Her delicate, beautiful face and jade-like nose were stained with some black soot.
A trace of sadness hid within her light-green eyes.
Clenching her tiny fist, as if cheering herself on, she bit her rosy lips lightly.
Under the torment of snake venom, Dugu Xin could only lie on the bed, barely clinging to life.
Dugu Bo sat cross-legged beside the bed, resting and recuperating.
Completely unaware—
Danger had already arrived quietly.
...
At this moment—
Qian Ranjue and the others were already standing at the entrance of the valley.
Seeing the constantly surging, lingering poisonous mist ahead, a cold smile appeared on Qian Renxue's face.
This time… let's see how Dugu Bo escapes!
She shouted lowly:
"Thorn Jellyfish, open the path!"
"Yes!"
Without hesitation, Thorn Jellyfish Douluo's seventh soul ring flickered beneath his feet.
His body in the air suddenly expanded.
His second soul ring lit up.
"Second Soul Skill: Infinite Devouring!" (ps: from the manhua)
His deep voice sounded.
The balloon-like Thorn Jellyfish suddenly inhaled sharply!
The rolling poisonous mist surged toward his mouth, sucked and stored inside his belly.
Under the effect of his soul skill, the poisonous mist stalled in midair, and a not-too-wide gap slowly appeared in front of Qian Ranjue and the others.
Qian Renxue smiled and turned back:
"Jue, let's go."
"Mm."
Qian Ranjue nodded slightly, soothed the rabbit in his arms, then stepped inside.
Ling Yuan and Snake Spear activated their Martial Souls, guarding both sides.
Inside the valley—
Dugu Yan, who was boiling medicine, suddenly frowned.
She faintly heard the sound of fierce wind roaring.
She lifted her head and looked around.
She saw the poisonous mist on the cliff rolling and gathering, shock flashing through her light-green eyes.
Dugu Yan immediately stood up.
Seeing the churning poison mist, she turned and ran into the hut, shouting anxiously:
"Grandpa, Grandpa! Someone's coming!"
Swish!
Hearing Dugu Yan's cry, Dugu Bo immediately opened his eyes.
Within a few breaths, he appeared at Dugu Yan's side.
Upon hearing the commotion, he looked up at the opening, a solemn expression in his eyes.
"Who is it?!"
"Grandpa, look…!"
Dugu Yan gripped Dugu Bo's large hand and pointed upward at the cliff.
"Yanyan, don't be afraid. Grandpa is here."
Dugu Bo gently stroked her hair, comforting her softly.
As his voice fell—
Laughter burst across the valley from Snake Spear.
"Haha! Young Master Jue was right! Old poisonous freak, today even with wings you won't escape!"
Swish!
A spear about two meters long, curved spear tip, its body green-purple like a serpent, pierced through the poisonous mist.
"Spirit Hall! Damn it… how did they find this place?!"
Dugu Bo's expression turned as dark as water.
Before he finished speaking—
A tall, straight figure full of sharp aura followed the spear down.
Two yellow, three purple, four black soul rings shone brilliantly under his feet.
Those luminous eyes instantly locked onto Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan below.
His third soul ring started to glow…
Dugu Bo immediately shielded his granddaughter behind him, eight soul rings rising at his feet.
"Grandpa…!"
Dugu Yan's cry was full of anxiety.
Just as blades were drawn—
A gentle yet slightly authoritative voice sounded.
"Elder Snake Spear, calm down."
"Yes, I understand!"
The soul ring under Snake Spear that was about to activate dimmed again.
Dugu Bo furrowed his dark-green brows, staring at the opening in the poisonous mist in confusion.
His expression grew heavier.
Last time, just facing Thorn Jellyfish almost cost him his life.
Would he survive today?!
Cry——!
The long cry of the Blazing Spirit Luan shook the valley.
The enormous true form of the Spirit Luan burst from the cliff wall, spiraling downward in the valley.
Qian Ranjue and Qian Renxue stood on the back of the firebird.
Ling Yuan had followed Qian Ranjue for a long time.
Naturally, she knew — having someone carry him while flying down would be embarrassing.
Letting him stand on her back instead—
was a good solution. She didn't mind.
Seeing the nine soul rings under the firebird—
Dugu Bo felt his heart turn to ash.
But when he saw the two golden figures on the Spirit Luan's back, hope stirred again.
A fierce glint flashed in his dark-green eyes.
The one who stopped Snake Spear earlier should be that young boy.
Perhaps…
Only by capturing him would the Dugu family have a sliver of survival.
But very soon, Dugu Bo was disappointed.
Ling Yuan did not land but instead followed Qian Renxue's order—
Hovering in midair.
"Old poisonous freak, long time no see. Your poison still smells as foul as ever!"
Thorn Jellyfish's muffled voice sounded.
His huge balloon-like body suddenly deflated, spewing the poisonous mist back—
And using the recoil force,
floated opposite Snake Spear, looking down coldly at Dugu Bo.
Wish everyone a pleasant life!
