Douluo Continent's Spirit Empire

Chapter 87 Darkness is the Breeding Ground of Fear



The three soul masters hurriedly ran from the forest that was burning with soaring flames to a relatively flat grassland. There were not many trees around, but rocks and grass were everywhere.

"We can't run anymore, we have to find a safe place to hide." The speaking soul master was wearing a standard black school uniform.

"It makes sense. That red flame beast was too destructive and went on a rampage." The spirit master who agreed was wearing black clothing that was the same as the two spirit masters next to him.

"There! There is a hidden cave there, it should be possible to hide people!" No. 3 soul master pointed to the cave half-hidden by boulders in the distance below the slope.

"I wonder if there is anyone there, maybe it's the soul beast's cave." The soul master who spoke first quickly walked to the entrance of the cave.

"It's not easy to judge," No.2 soul master said with a hint of pride in his tone, "Look at me."

As he finished speaking, light blue fish scales emerged from under the No.2 soul master's skin, climbing up his face layer by layer, and Dasheng's pale light immediately covered all traces on his face.

The phantom of a huge anglerfish possessed the soul master. Its terrifying fine fangs brought endless gloom to the soul, and its fins with distinct bone spurs pierced the soul master's back and elbows.

A long and tight luminous fishing rod pierced out from the soul master's forehead, and the lantern at the front of the fishing rod shone with a sharp white light.

Martial soul possessed, deep sea anglerfish.

The anglerfish soul master placed the lantern above his head at the entrance of the cave, and ripples of white light rippled in circles. The scene inside the cave was extremely clear under the caress of the white light.

The cave that reflected the dense white glow was sparkling because of the unevenness of the stone walls, but the three fleeing soul masters did not find any signs of living things.

"No one! Just in time!" The angler fish soul master had the most thorough view. When he saw that there was no one in the cave, he shrank first and got in through the narrow stone crevice in a few small steps.

The originally pitch-black stone cave was brightened by the light emitted by the Angler fish soul master, even standing outside, one could still see the faint glimmer of light inside the cave.

The two soul masters behind him looked at each other and saw that the cave was not in great danger, so they followed closely behind the anglerfish soul master.

When the two of them went down to the cave, they could still see the familiar white waves of the anglerfish soul master far away from them. The originally dazzling white light was like a beacon of salvation in the ink-black cave.

The gleaming white light that comes with the anglerfish martial spirit is the guiding light for the two of them. Without thinking about why their companions in front of them can walk so far in such a short time, the two of them follow the white light in front of them and go deep into the cave.

"Hey, this cave is not small. It can accommodate several people." A soul master walking behind patted the cold and solid stone wall with his hand. "It would have been great if we had discovered this place on the first day. It is cool and safe." .”

"Huh? What's going on!" Another soul master exclaimed suddenly.

"What's wrong...ah!?" The soul master was shocked.

The cave was silent for a while.

The two of them had been following the traces of white light since they entered the cave. Since their companions were willing to explore the path themselves, they felt relaxed.

But just now, their "guiding light" suddenly stagnated, but this didn't make them feel strange.

Perhaps it was the end of the cave, and the companion in front stopped and waited for the two of them to get together to discuss the next move.

The two walked to the place where the white light overflowed, but the scene in front of them made their hair stand on end.

It was not some companion who had been emitting white light to guide the two of them forward, but a soul beast skull that radiated a frightening white light from its pupils.

The hollow eye sockets of the skull stared straight at the two of them. The white light was not only dazzling, but also pierced their cowardly hearts.

Fear occupied the brains of the two of them at that moment, and they didn't dare to move for a while.

It took a while for one of them to react and took a few steps back, trying to get away from the skull that symbolized disaster.The soul master next to him also retreated to a distance that he thought was safe when he woke up from his dream.

"This... what is this?"

"I don't know, the most important question is... Where did Liu Xin... go?"

"He came in first, and then... we followed his light..."

"...His white light seemed to have stagnated for a moment, and then stopped moving..."

"Maybe that pause was Liu Xin who was killed..."

"There should be a soul beast or soul master here, I think the possibility of a soul master is more..."

Speaking of this, the taller soul master of the two suddenly came to his senses.

"That means there are still people in this cave, and they are planning to ambush us, let's go out first!!"

The tall soul master roared hurriedly, dragged his companion beside him and rushed towards the entrance of the cave.

The white light behind him suddenly went out.

dark.

The extreme darkness eroded their sight, an atmosphere of fear filled the slightly damp cave, and cold fear penetrated their bones.

The tall soul master was shocked and confused. Logically speaking, there was moonlight outside the cave. No matter how narrow the entrance to the cave was, there would still be silver light shining in. But now there is no light in the cave...

There is a high probability that the hole is blocked by people.

The tall soul master could still think calmly in the darkness, but his companions were cold all over, with fright on their faces, and they were at a loss as to what to do, "Gao Jian, what should we do... can we still get out alive?"

The voice was frightened and trembling. He probably had little experience and had never seen such a battle.

"Don't be anxious, there is always a way." The soul master named Gao Jian was unsure of himself, so he spoke like this to comfort his companions and himself.

There was nothing around him except his feet on the ground. Takami felt that it was necessary to touch the wall of the cave. He should be able to touch the entrance of the cave along the wall. He just had to be careful to guard against the soul master who might be ambushing in the cave.

Like a blind man, Gao Jian stretched his arms and fumbled left and right, trying his luck randomly, and his feet were also testing back and forth.

Finally, Gao Jian's hand felt the hard and cold wall, and he was overjoyed.

This is the first step to success. As expected, I am still very good at being so calm and steady in such a dangerous situation.

"Fengzi, I touched the wall of this cave. Please hold me and don't let us separate." Takami said in a low voice, turning to speak to his companion next to him.

It's just that after he said this, he didn't get a response from his companion.

Gao Jian felt a shiver in his heart. This is strange. This guy Feng Tong is usually not very courageous. How come he doesn't react when I say something?

"Fengzi?"

no respond.

"are you still there?"

Gao Jian only heard his own low echo in the cave.

Gao Jian's heart was completely chilled.

He knew, he should have known all along, that the ambusher in that cave had been lurking beside them.

As soon as he touched the wall, Feng Tong had already been killed, but he didn't know if his life was in danger.

Although Takami's vision was pitch black, he thought his senses were still relatively sharp.

He took his palms away from the cold stone wall he was touching, and placed his hands in front of him in a fighting posture.

..........................................

Xu Junfang hung upside down on the top of the dark cave like a bat, his eyes blood red, staring at Gao Jian expressionlessly, as if he was looking at a dying person.

Gao Jian's back was facing him, and his defensive posture was full of flaws in Xu Junfang's eyes. Gao Jian's vigilance was as cute as a sheep's final struggle in front of a hungry wolf.

He became alert when the three soul masters were within three meters of the cave. He directly possessed the second martial soul, blended into the darkness in the form of a bat, and hid in the deepest part of the cave.

Sure enough, the three soul masters who were close to the cave entered one by one after inspecting the interior of the cave with a strong light.

The narrowness of the entrance was deliberately designed by Xu Junfang.

In this case, only one person can enter at a time when the soul master is too lazy to move the huge rock at the entrance of the cave.

The first one to come down is the opponent's lighting person, whose soul power is very weak, only level 15.

Xu Junfang didn't give this person a chance to react, he switched from the Death Lord to the Heavenly Venerate Mask Martial Soul, and a blue light clung to the body of the Angler Fish Soul Master like a poisonous snake.

The first soul skill, Brutal Thunder Whip!

The electric current far exceeding what a 15th-level soul master could bear flowed through the fragile soul master's body in an instant, and the paralysis and pain of the current caused the angler fish soul master to faint instantly.

Xu Junfang dragged the unconscious anglerfish soul master leisurely towards the depths of the cave, the white light scattered by the wild thunder whip was thought to be the lantern light of the anglerfish by the two who entered behind.

Then Xu Junfang condensed a ball of lightning light similar to Yu Shulei with his bare hands, and put it under the skull of a soul beast he had collected.

By the time the next two soul masters were frightened by the glowing skull, Xu Junfang had already touched the entrance of the cave and blocked their retreat.

The light ball made by Xu Junfang failed to last too long, and the energy exhausted made the cave return to darkness.

Xu Junfang switched back to the second martial spirit again, and the death monarch's night vision allowed him to clearly see the terrified faces of the two soul masters in the dark.

The shorter soul master was particularly panicked and released his martial soul immediately. His soul power level was not high, around level 16.

Xu Junfang knew that it was an agility attack type pigeon spirit that could fly, and its weakness was its extremely poor defense.

Xu Junfang hung upside down on top of his head, using the back end of the hard handle of the stainless steel dagger to hack at the vagus meridian on the side of Baige soul master's neck.

A blow to the vagus nerve can instantly cause the soul master's whole body to lose strength, confusion, fainting and shock, and even death directly.

Bai Ge Spirit Master was weak, and even if Xu Junfang didn't use all his strength, it directly caused Bai Ge Spirit Master to faint.

Xu Junfang caught the fallen body of the Baige Spirit Master without making any sound, and placed him in the deepest part of the cave together with the unconscious Anchor Spirit Master.

Xu Junfang turned back again, and the last thing he had to deal with was the tall man with the highest level of soul power.

Gao Jian couldn't bear the fear in his heart and let out a low growl.

Gao Jian's lean muscles all over his body bulged like a blow, and his coiled muscles swam around him like a dragon, making him more than twice as tall as before.

Thick black spiky hair gushed out from his body in an instant, Takami's pale skin was wrapped in a thick layer of bear fur, and a huge black bear figure appeared behind him.

The most exaggerated thing is Takami's arms. If the hair all over his body is made of black steel spikes, then his arms are two steel pipes shining with dark silver luster. These iron arms are thicker than his thighs. A few laps.

This was an iron-armed bear. Xu Junfang recognized it instantly. The thick iron arm was the best identification mark.

Level 18 soul power.

Xu Junfang estimated Gao Jian's soul power level, thinking about how to start.

Gao Jian was possessed by the iron-armed bear martial spirit and felt that he was protected in a body covered with steel thorns, making him invulnerable.He swelled a little, raised his head and let out a low roar, venting his fear while showing off to the invisible enemy.

Show your edge.

"Ho ho ho ho - ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

The mighty bear roar came to an abrupt end.

Instead, there was a shrill scream.

The tearing cry of pain resounded through the sealed cave. The sound waves hit the walls and bounced around. For a moment, a symphony of pain was played in the cave.

Five dark golden ferocious claws pierced Gao Jian's abdomen, with dark red blood dripping from the tips of the claws.

The Dark Gold Terror Claw entered from Takami's back, and came out from the front abdomen. A large amount of dark blood stained Takami's bear hair, and the blood spurted out along the direction where the Dark Gold Terror Claw penetrated.

Xu Junfang did not choose to rotate his arm to cause almost incurable damage to Takami. He pulled out the cold claws of terror from Takami's back.

Pulling out the claws once again brought a wave of severe pain to Takami, blood spilled all over the floor, and the cave smelled fishy.

In Xu Junfang's night vision, Gao Jian's face was twisted in pain.Takami's palms pressed against his wounds to prevent more blood from splattering.

But in an instant he fainted from the pain.

Xu Junfang licked the blood on his paws, feeling unsatisfied.

Suddenly, his brows frowned, he didn't clean up Gao Jian who was seriously injured by him on the ground, and melted into the boundless darkness again.

The boulder at the door was moved away with great force, and the silver glow of the night was projected into the cave.

"Zhou Tianpeng, there is a hole here, we should be able to make do with it for one night today..."

Outside the cave is a young man wearing yellow clothes.
