Chapter 36 Walking Alone
Chapter 36 Walking Alone
The Great Elder looked at his grandson worriedly, and the other four people who were previously separated by the fog, including the Soul Saint of the Xiao family, were knocked unconscious by him and thrown outside the door.
It is better for them not to know about the soul guides and soul bones here. The Great Elder does not want to kill them, otherwise Mingxi will have a hard time explaining to several families when he leaves.
Xu Mingxi, who was deep in the illusion, was still in a brainstorm. According to his thinking, the current situation was most likely caused by some special soul guide.
But he guessed the reason, but didn't know how to solve it. Seeing the Smoke Tiger hit again, Xu Mingxi's face turned pale, the Star Guardian was looming, and his soul power was almost exhausted.
As the Smoke Tiger pounced again, the Star Guardian shattered. Xu Mingxi watched the monster getting closer and closer to him, and despair filled his heart. At this moment, he wished that someone could protect him.
Suddenly, three members of the Chen family stood in front of Xu Mingxi and stopped a smoke monster respectively, but in the end their soul power was exhausted, their arms were bitten off and they fell to the ground.
"Do not."
Xu Mingxi's teeth were gnashing, this was the first time he saw someone die because of him. Why would they go to such lengths?
Yes, why would they protect themselves to death and not try to escape? This doesn’t make sense at all.
These people were just strangers that he had just met. Although he had saved their sister, in this world of the jungle of Douluo Continent, where the strong prey on the weak, were there really such grateful people, especially three of them?
Xu Mingxi asked himself, he absolutely could not be so open-hearted to someone he had just met.
and many more.
Xu Mingxi suddenly looked up, it seemed that he had not seen any starlight since entering the ruins.
Even though he could feel the soul power in his body recovering and his first soul ring functioning, he could not see any trace of starlight.
"This place can't be fake."
As the words fell, the illusion shattered. Xu Mingxi, who was lying on the ground, opened his eyes, looked at the three people lying around him, looked at himself who was intact, and felt the almost depleted soul power in his body. He smiled bitterly with helplessness.
I didn't expect that they were all fake. I didn't even notice it until the very beginning. If the three members of the Chen family hadn't shown something wrong at the end, I would have really died from exhaustion of my soul power.
"Mingxi, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Grandpa. That was just an illusion. Apart from the excessive consumption of my soul power, I didn't suffer any damage."
Xu Mingxi was helped by his grandfather to sit up, looking at the soul guide floating in the air with mixed feelings.
It seemed as if I had fallen into an illusion since the moment I stepped into the fog. The monster in the fog seemed to be just a transformation of my fear.
This dangerous illusion reminded him of the Soul Saint who would give Tang San a soul bone gift package in the future. At that time, people died in an invisible dream.
The three people from the Chen family did not wake up for a long time. When their soul power was about to be exhausted, the great elder took action to collect the soul guide and the soul bones inside.
Chen Qingfeng watched the smoke wolf pounce towards him. Just as it was about to bite off his neck, he felt a sharp pain rushing to his head and he passed out.
When I woke up again, I saw myself lying on the ground unharmed, and sitting next to me were all the members of this adventure.
Except for Xu Mingxi and the Great Elder, no one knew that a soul guide and a soul bone appeared here. Xu Mingxi also pretended to have a splitting headache. The fog in the depths of Jueyun Gorge dissipated, and everyone searched for it. Except for some gold soul coins and ordinary resources, there was nothing to be found.
Seeing that the gibbon tribe had begun to expand its territory to the ruins, everyone could only adjust their status and rush out of Jueyun Gorge in one go. Only Yuan Qing, who was protected in the center of the team, looked at Xu Mingxi beside him, thoughtfully, but he said nothing.
After returning to Dongji City, the news that everyone was in danger and almost died spread, and the young master of the Xiao family also sent out a message.
They almost died in the fog and were rescued by a mysterious man in a black robe. It is very likely that the treasure deep in Jueyun Gorge was also taken away by him.
No one else knew the identity of the Great Elder except Yuan Qing, who was also sensible enough not to reveal it.
Xu Mingxi didn't plan to stay in Dongji City for long, as he had more important things to do now.
During this trip to the fantasy land, he discovered that he had nothing but his talent, and because of his favorable conditions, he developed bad habits of being lazy and relying on others.
"Grandpa, have you heard of the Soul Hunting Mercenary Group? Send me to the Star Dou Great Forest, and you can go back to the Star Crown Sect..."
The Great Elder certainly knew about the Soul Hunting Mercenaries. To put it bluntly, it was a group of strangers who lived on the edge of a knife and formed a team to hunt soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
For this kind of team, the most dangerous thing is not the soul beasts, but the people in the mercenary group. A precious medicine or a soul bone can cause the entire mercenary group to fall apart.
The Great Elder looked at Xu Mingxi with a determined look in his eyes. Words of persuasion were on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't say them. He could only hold back his tears.
"Okay, I'll pick you up outside the Star Forest in three years."
Xu Mingxi left Dongji City alone and headed towards the Xingdou Forest. This time, he had no one to protect him, and the only one he could rely on was himself.
The Great Elder returned to Xingguan Sect, and the news that Xu Mingxi left alone caused an uproar among the elders.
Some supported it, some opposed it, and some even said that Xu Mingxi should be brought back now, especially the three who were promoted with the help of Xu Mingxi, who were almost pointing at his nose and scolding him.
"That's enough. This is Mingxi's own decision. No matter what, since you have made the choice, you must keep going."
The sect leader directly stopped the meaningless quarrel of the crowd. He was also afraid that Xu Mingxi would die in the Star Dou Great Forest, as he was a sure bet for the title of Douluo.
But he also knew that the elders of the Xingguan Sect, including himself, had spoiled Xu Mingxi too much.
I don't know where that child learned this bad habit from, but he needs to rest for two days every five days, and he is easily distracted when practicing.
Mingguang is already level 52. With his talent and the Star Summoning Soul Skill, it really shouldn't be possible that he is only level 56 now.
The sect leader waved his hand to signal the elders to leave, and sat alone in the hall thinking. In the darkness, only a ray of light came from the sect leader's desk.
The next day, the elders of Xingguan Sect received an order that the Xingguan Sect would be closed for three years. If Xu Mingxi could come back alive, he would be the next sect leader.
