Cheng Gang said in a surprised tone: "It's very strange. Not long ago, a soul guide group of the border defense army flew towards Mingdu. If I'm not mistaken, there were even a lot of Title Douluo auras in it."
"I don't know why they suddenly left the border, but the Sun and Moon Border Guards should be unable to stop us now."
"Ok?"
He was stunned for a moment, standing there looking towards the Mingdou Mountains.
A gentle breeze blew towards me, and the light sound of the wind seemed to carry the faint roars of tigers and dragons.
……
In the Mingdou Mountains, there are rugged rocks and little vegetation. White Tiger Duke Dai Hao is leading a White Tiger Guard Corps stationed on a high cliff. From here, they can see the territory of the Sun and Moon Empire from afar.
It is high above the ground with a broad field of vision, and there is also a branch nearby to block it, making it less vulnerable to attack from the long-range soul guides of the Sun-Moon Empire.
Duke Dai Hao of White Tiger rode a handsome white tiger and stood on the cliff, using a telescope to gaze at the direction of the sun and the moon. Behind him were a group of White Tiger guards riding dragon-scale war horses and wearing white armor.
He had been waiting here for several days to help Xu Jiujiu and others return safely to Xingluo.
Duke White Tiger has now broken through the Titled Douluo realm and inherited the title of White Tiger Douluo that has been passed down for ten thousand years. He also serves as the commander-in-chief of the three armies and is already the most important official in the military of the Star Luo Empire.
Dai Hao said nothing and remained alert. The boring wait did not wear out his patience.
In the first squad of the White Tiger Guards behind him, there were two figures who were dressed the same as the others, but their eyes were different.
These two people are Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu.
They also didn't know how that calm voice was able to allow them to transfer here from Mingdu thousands of miles away and disguise themselves as the White Tiger Guards.
The two only knew that they were going on a deep adventure to pick up Xu Jiujiu and others, and they could not reveal their identities to others.
If you fail the test or go against Pingdansheng's requirements, you will die.
Dai Huabin looked at Dai Hao in the front with a complicated expression, wondering whether he would be able to surpass his elder brother and become the next Duke of White Tiger in the future.
Zhu Lu looked at Dai Huabin, wanting to tell him that it didn't matter even if he was not the next Duke of White Tiger.
Suddenly, that calm voice sounded in the ears of both of them at the same time.
"Deep Adventure has been changed. The assessment topic is: Killing."
"That is where the Five Poison Douluo is located. Your mission is to kill the Five Poison Douluo together with Huo Yuhao and Huo Qiuer."
"If the kill is successful, the in-depth assessment is passed. If any assessor dies, or reveals the assessment content to others, the assessment will fail and all assessors will die."
"You can also choose to give up the deep adventure, return to the valley in an hour, and continue the deep adventure ten years later."
The two were stunned. They didn't expect the test questions to change suddenly.
Moreover, taking the test with them were Huo Yuhao and Huo Qiuer, whose whereabouts were unknown.
"Five Poison Douluo? Are you going to let us face the Titled Douluo directly?"
After hearing the new content of Deep Adventure, Dai Huabin subconsciously wanted to scream, but his throat was strangled by a mysterious force and he couldn't make any sound at all.
A beam of light fell from the sky in the southwest direction like a bolt of thunder.
"hiss……"
The white tiger horse under the crotch of the White Tiger Duke raised its front legs and neighed in that direction.
Dai Hao frowned slightly. He did not think that the light was natural lightning. He shouted behind him, "Team One, send out 20 people to patrol."
He had to stay here and wait for Xu Jiujiu and others who might arrive at any time, so he did not go to check it out in person.
"Yes!"
Twenty of the strictly disciplined White Tiger Guards immediately stepped out and rode on their dragon-scale war horses towards Jing Lei.
Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu were also in the queue.
Twenty White Tiger guards lined up in five neat rows and six lines and rode forward on horseback.
Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's expressions had turned grim.
These White Tiger Guards are only spirit masters of the second to fourth rings. How could they possibly be a match for the mission target, the Five Poison Douluo?
He wanted to shout to stop the others, or pull the reins tightly, but he couldn't speak, and the reins in his hands were a thousand pounds heavy. Even with the cultivation of a Soul Emperor, he couldn't pull it at all, and the dragon-scale warhorse under his crotch didn't obey his orders at all.
Soon, twenty White Tiger Guards had run out of the mountains for several miles.
Deep in the Mingdou Mountains, on the rocky land, a brown pointed-headed viper was slowly crawling in a zigzag pattern on the ground of the same color as its body.
This viper has only been cultivating for ten years and doesn't even have any attributes. It relies on its own venom to hunt small soul beasts.
It would occasionally spit out its tongue, searching the air for the scent of prey.
Suddenly, the body of the sharp-headed pit viper shook and disappeared.
Not far away, a strange old man in a green robe was standing in front of a pile of soul beast corpses. He was holding the slender body of a viper in his right hand, and the triangular snake head had been bitten off by him, and he was chewing it with relish.
The viper's body was thrown away casually. The headless snake was still twitching and struggling on the ground, but it was not dead yet.
After swallowing the viper's head, the old man muttered to himself.
"It's not even a snack. The snake venom doesn't have much effect on me anymore."
This person is none other than the Five Poison Douluo of the Holy Spirit Church.
Since he became an evil soul master and took corpse poison as his main training direction, other poisons have become less and less effective on him.
In front of him, the corpses of some soul beasts that had just been killed in the Mingdou Mountains were piled up. A green mist slowly formed, but quickly dissipated under the breeze from the valley.
"These soul beasts can't produce strong corpse poison. I still need human corpses."
Five Poison Douluo sighed lightly, then a strange smile appeared on his face and he looked towards the Sun and Moon Realm.
War is always accompanied by a large number of corpses, and the more corpses there are, the stronger the corpse poison.
No evil soul master would not be tempted by the army of corpses. The Five Poison Douluo volunteered to come to the Mingdou border to intercept Xing Luo and others.
Soon, a fierce conflict will break out here, which will generate countless soldiers, soul masters, and even the corpses of Titled Douluo. It will be a feast for him.
The Five Poison Douluo can't wait any longer.
Compared to taking great risks to search for powerful poisonous soul beasts or rare treasures, obtaining corpse poison is too simple and easy.
After enjoying such a simple upgrade path, you will no longer be willing to endure the slow speed.
"I really can't wait, hehe...what is that?"
A bright light flashed across the sky, as if coming towards him, but after the light disappeared, nothing happened.
He frowned, not taking it seriously, and looked towards a part of the mountain range with a weird smile.
"You are from Xingluo, right? I will use you to make corpse poison first."
……
Finally, Dai Huabin felt the force restraining him from speaking disappear. He was overjoyed and was about to shout orders to others when a powerful pressure suddenly approached the front of the team of twenty White Tiger Guards.
Dai Huabin trembled all over, and suddenly pushed Zhu Lu beside him, falling to the ground with her, rolling a long way on the gravel ground.
"Enemy attack...ah——" One of the White Tiger guards was about to open his mouth to warn the others when he suddenly let out a scream and fell to the ground along with the horse under him.
He grabbed his neck with both hands, his expression extremely painful, and a green mist slowly floated out of his mouth and nose. In less than ten seconds, he and his horse were dead.
Not only him, all the White Tiger guards except Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu fell silent within a few seconds.
"asshole!"
Seeing such a tragic scene, Dai Huabin's first reaction was not fear, but anger.
He seemed to understand why that force no longer prevented him from speaking, because no outsiders could hear him.
This anger even exceeded the fear of death, making Dai Huabin forget the horror of deep adventure and Titled Douluo.
The White Tiger Guards were not just ordinary soldiers, the White Tiger lineage had a special and deep bond with them. A total of eighteen White Tiger Guards died in front of him, and he could only watch helplessly. How could he not be furious?
He glared at the Five Poison Douluo in front of him, with only one thought in his mind, and that was to make the man in front of him pay with blood.
"Huh? I didn't expect that there are Soul Emperors and Soul Kings in Xing Luo's army?" Five Poison Douluo was a little surprised that two people avoided his corpse poison attack.
"That's perfect. The stronger the corpse, the stronger the poison I can generate!"
The Five Poison Douluo laughed loudly, and the green mist floating on the bodies of the White Tiger Guards suddenly condensed into a ball, attacking Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu against the valley wind.
A familiar voice sounded in Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's minds at the same time.
"Hua Bin, Zhu Lu, use the Netherworld White Tiger, trust me!"
It's Huo Yuhao!
As the sound rang out, the surrounding scene instantly became extremely clear.
Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu were both stunned, but they didn't have time to think about it. They nodded in tacit understanding and hugged each other.
"Roar--"
An intense white light flashed, and a gigantic white tiger appeared out of nowhere, roaring towards the poisonous fog.
The Netherworld White Tiger had lost all its majestic demeanor at this moment, and there was only endless anger in its pair of tiger eyes.
"Soul fusion technique? Humph, you are overestimating your own abilities." Five Poison Douluo was a little surprised, but he didn't think that they would be a match for his corpse poison.
However, in the next second, the green poisonous fog dissipated together.
The Five Poison Douluo was extremely surprised and stood there in shock. He couldn't believe that his corpse poison disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
On the bodies of the White Tiger Guards on the ground, the green mist that originally represented corpse poison was now replaced by a grayish-white light.
Five Poison Douluo frowned slightly. Although he didn't know why the corpse poison dissipated, even if there was no corpse poison, he was not afraid of the Netherworld White Tiger at all.
No matter how little he cultivates his physique, he is still a Titled Douluo after all, and cannot be easily defeated by the fusion skills of the martial souls of a Soul Emperor or Soul King.
He flipped his right hand and was about to strike out with a palm that was also extremely poisonous.
"Ow—"
Another roar sounded, but it did not come from the mouth of the Netherworld White Tiger in front of Five Poison Douluo, but came from the right side.
The sound was more like a dragon's roar, deeper and louder than the powerful and domineering tiger's roar.
The Five Poison Douluo looked at it out of the corner of his eye.
It was a hovering golden dragon, with equally angry vertical eyes, and it and the Netherworld White Tiger were attacking him together.
Under the golden dragon were two somewhat similar figures, they were Huo Yuhao and Huo Qiuer.
