Chapter 390: Flame King Candidate
Tick, tick, tick.
"Is the house leaking again?"
The sound of dripping water in a corner seemed to never stop, as if urging Wu Juanjuan to open her eyes as soon as possible.
The storm was coming, and if the gap was not filled up as soon as possible, it would be difficult for this house to withstand the storm.
There were waves of pain behind her head, and she opened her eyes with force. What came into view was not the familiar ceiling, but a terrible scene she had never seen before.
A closed room with no windows installed. The dim candlelight was the only light source here, casting mottled light and shadows on the moss-covered walls.
The ground was very wet and inexplicably had a sticky texture. The broken wooden door was tightly closed, and the air that could not circulate was filled with the smell of dampness and rust.
"Where is this?"
She struggled to get up, but was surprised to find that she was tied to the wooden bed in a big letter shape. The rusty iron chain was wrapped around and around, and there was a pair of heavy shackles on her wrists and ankles.
Turning her neck, the only part of her body that could move freely, she found a row of cold torture instruments quietly placed in the corner of the room. The deep red stains on the joints looked particularly strange in the dim candlelight.
"Oh, you're awake."
In the middle of the gloomy torture instruments, a thin figure slowly turned his head, threw the rag in his hand into the bucket at his feet, and said, "I thought you would wake up tomorrow."
The man was only about 1.5 meters tall, a head shorter than Wu Juanjuan. Such a body looked particularly tall and terrifying against the backdrop of the candlelight and torture instruments.
Wu Juanjuan opened her mouth slightly and couldn't say a word. She was clearly frightened by the scene in front of her.
Seeing this, the man took the initiative to walk to Wu Juanjuan with a brighter candle, and stroked her young and moist face with his withered big hands, his eyes full of fanaticism and cruelty.
He liked this scene, because the desperate prey always exuded a charming smell.
The smell called fear.
Taking a deep breath, the man showed a twisted and satisfied smile on his face, and slowly said: "Little girl, lament your unfortunate fate. Who made you see things you shouldn't see?"
"Let me think about it, he seemed to let me tell you this"
The man cleared his throat and said in a tone as majestic as possible: "The ugly appearance of the Qi family must not be leaked. In order to protect the dignity of the Qi family, please die."
"Hahahahahahahahahaha"
The man's wild laughter made the atmosphere in the basement even more depressing, as if the next moment, he would perform the cruel drama that had been repeated countless times here.
The wild laughter suddenly stopped for no reason, and the man said calmly: "You didn't cry, which is good. I hate crying guys. Don't worry, after the other appetizers are finished, you will be the last meal I enjoy."
"Ah~"
Seeing that Gu You lost consciousness, Dugu Bo no longer held the airs of a Titled Douluo while there was no one around, and sighed without paying attention to his image.
I was sleeping well at home, but suddenly appeared on a hot and humid southern island 108,000 miles away from home.
Obviously, this old snake doesn't like to go far away at all. He likes to stay in his own small yard on weekdays.
Well, the world is still beautiful, and it's not all bad news.
At least there is one thing that Gu You said is right. The sunshine at the seaside is really good and it's quite comfortable to bask in it.
Maybe you can come and stay for a while from time to time.
I don't know since when, Dugu Bo also got Gu You's bad habit of daydreaming. While thinking about whether to buy a house or build it himself, he took out an ordinary small cylinder from his pocket.
Carefully reading the markings and instructions on it, Dugu Bo held its butt, pointed his head at the sky, and gently pressed the small protruding button on it.
Whoosh~~~ Bang!
The gorgeous fireworks exploded in the air, and fifteen seconds later, another completely identical firework also rose on the northern coast.
"Oh, this thing is quite useful."
Dugu Bo was amazed.
He didn't expect that this small cylinder called "flare launcher" could contact people far away through light and explosion sound without soul power.
The key to the problem is not "light and explosion sound", but "no soul power".
He thought it was a new soul guide for entertainment that Tang San made by hand in his spare time while busy studying artificial soul bones.
After all, there is no gunpowder in Douluo Continent, and with Dugu Bo's imagination, it is difficult to imagine a tool that can work without soul power.
Keeping in mind the principle of not littering, Dugu Bo was about to put away the used small cylinder.
Unexpectedly, a big hairy hand suddenly stretched out from behind him and easily took the small cylinder away from him.
"Oh, what an interesting little thing."
"?!"
A hearty and old voice sounded, and Dugu Bo's hair stood on end in an instant.
It was not an illusion, and there was no illusionist in Douluo Continent who was strong enough to make a Titled Douluo fall into an illusion. The voice was very close, the arm was less than half a foot away from the head, and the heat that penetrated into the bone marrow came from the ear, as if it could roast the head through the air.
If this hand had just launched an attack, the consequences would be...
Dugu Bo did not dare to think further. The enemy's strength was immeasurable, as he could bypass the perception of the Titled Douluo level and get so close.
Gu You had just started to absorb the spirit ring, and now it was bad.
Just as Dugu Bo was considering whether to give it a try or pretend to be submissive, the old voice suddenly said: "Don't be nervous, human boy, I'm not here to find you."
"I heard there is a potential Cinder Blade Dragon Slayer here. Yes, it's the one lying in front of you."
"I didn't expect it to die. Can you tell me how it died?"
Coming to this familiar yet strange dark world again, Gu You said that he had become proficient with practice.
Backstroke, freestyle, breaststroke, butterfly stroke, dog paddle
In this dark world without direction and time, Gu You had the opportunity to review his preparations for the Sea God Island.
Just after crossing to Douluo Continent, knowing that he was in the first timeline, Gu You began to plan for the future.
In addition to building a good relationship with Xiao San, after awakening the martial soul and being able to practice, preparing for the known opportunities in advance is something that every normal human brain can think of.
First exclude the opportunity that the Eight Spider Lance can't be used, and then exclude the plate crystal gold that may not be obtained after having nothing to do with Yu Xiaogang.
The remaining general opportunities are only the fairy grass of the ice and fire Yin-Yang Eyes and the field of the Killing City. As well as the soul power and divine soul rings that were obtained for free on the Sea God Island.
Xiao San can handle the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, and only fools who are willing to become crazy will go to the City of Slaughter. The only remaining Sea God Island was the top priority for Gu You at that time.
First of all, treading water. No matter which world you are in, as long as you have extraordinary power, you must first master climbing trees and then learn to tread water. It can be said that this is the only way for every time traveler.
Except for the system bosses, and the bosses with innate twin and triple martial spirits at level 20 or 30.
Since you want to learn to tread water, you must be able to swim. If you can't swim after practicing treading water, do you want to drown in the stream of the Holy Soul Village?
Gu You didn't mention the Sea God Island at all, and Tang San and others learned to swim without realizing it, and they were all good at swimming.
Xiao Wu: Yes, every time I fall into the water, there is a hateful bastard holding his stomach and laughing wildly on the shore. Anyone can learn to swim.
All in all, the result is good. Under Gu You's whip, everyone was ready for the Sea God Island. No matter whether the result was an enemy or a friend, the initiative was not in the hands of the sea soul master.
The two-on-two soul fighting in the seaside soul fighting arena was just Gu You's trial run.
The result was also quite gratifying. Gu You didn't use any soul skills and beat Bai Lang underwater.
If there was really a problem, perhaps the only problem was that the fight was not satisfying enough.
After swimming in the void for an unknown period of time, Gu You, who was already tired of swimming without a physical object, suddenly remembered something very important.
"Where is the Cinder Blade Dragon Slasher?"
Xiao Wu in the original book seemed to have said that soul masters who wanted to absorb soul rings of more than 10,000 years would suffer from the mental shock of soul beasts when absorbing soul rings, and they had to resist it to absorb successfully.
There was no failed example in the original book for reference, but Xiao Wu herself was a soul beast, so it should be more or less credible.
The question is, where is the Cinder Blade Dragon Slasher?
Gu You looked around and found that after waiting for so long, the Cinder Blade Dragon Slasher really did not appear.
"Oh, no, I want to try what mental shock is."
The cooked experimental report flew away. Just as Gu You was beating his chest and stamping his feet, a little light seemed to appear in the distance. He threw the mental shock behind his mind without saying a word and rushed towards the direction of the light.
Rushing into the light from the endless darkness, Gu You, as a spiritual body, adapted to the change in brightness and was surprised to find that he had come to the ancient Jurassic world again.
The glacier dinosaur and the meteorite tyrannosaurus were nowhere to be found, and the other small dinosaurs were still the same, giving people the illusion that they couldn't find anything to do without fighting.
Apart from that, everything was calm and everything was fine.
So, what about the eldest brother?
When absorbing the third soul ring, he didn't see the Devil Beast movie. Gu You thought that the eldest brother looked down on the golden lion, so he didn't show it to him.
Unexpectedly, the eldest brother looked down on the Cinder Blade Dragon Slasher that took a day and a night to get.
As expected of the Devil Beast eldest brother, his vision is extraordinary. If we continue to count like this, if Gu You wants to watch the third part of the movie, he can only go to the Xingdou Great Forest to find trouble with fierce beasts.
Counting the soul beasts that have appeared in Douluo Continent, only the fierce beasts with superior combat power can enter the eyes of the big brother of the beast.
It’s not that Gu You is heartless, but mainly because he really can’t find more ways to entertain himself.
Fishing, playing chess, cockfighting, cricket fighting, watching plays, watching singing and dancing, listening to storytelling soul masters or rich people, plus a soul fighting arena to watch soul fighting, the above basically covers all the entertainment methods in Douluo Continent.
Think about it carefully, besides fishing, are there other entertainment projects suitable for modern people’s physique?
It’s impossible for Gu You to let Liming, who is used for his own guard, go out and watch it reach the top of the cockfighting world.
It’s embarrassing for a time traveler to reach the Soul Sect at the age of thirteen, and the degree of embarrassment will be ten times higher if he is given an epic title of "Douluo Continent Cockfighting King".
Therefore, the action war film "The Road to the Summit of the Ultimate Conductive Monster" is one of the few hobbies that Gu You has left.
Even this little hobby is being taken away, Big Brother Monster, it's too much.
Gu You silently complained in his heart.
"Roar--!!!"
"Huh?"
A very familiar roar, as if it had just been heard not long ago.
Gu You looked around and found that Big Brother Monster did not appear because he had turned into an Ultimate Conductive Monster again. At the same time, he also found the Cinder Blade Slasher jumping at his feet.
The whole body was red, and a lot of white smoke came out of the heat dissipation shell on the back, plus a dazzling big sword-like tail.
There is no doubt that this is the explosive heat state that Gu You accidentally avoided.
".It's really interesting."
Gu You is wrong. A hint of amusement flashed in the eyes of the Ultimate Conductive Terror Beast, and it stretched out its evil claws to Zhan Long.
"Roar?"
"Hehehe, you come just in time, let me see if you are developing normally."
On the seventh day of the island, the weather was cloudy and it was about to turn into a severe storm.
The sky was gloomy and covered with dark clouds. The thick clouds were like a heavy lead curtain, which made the people below breathless.
The clear skyline of the past gradually became blurred, and the waves on the sea were surging. The layers of waves rolled in the wind that appeared and disappeared from time to time, as if there was an invisible giant hand, stirring the sea water intentionally or unintentionally.
Gu You slowly opened his eyes and felt the fourth soul skill that had been completed in his body, and his heart was ecstatic.
After going through untold hardships, he finally got the most suitable soul skill. Xiao San, even if you have a domain, it's still ten years too early for you to beat me!
Before he could laugh wildly, a cup of hot water was extended from the left corner, and an unfamiliar voice said kindly: "Are you awake? Do you want to drink some water first?"
"Thank you, this guy"
After taking the cup of water, Gu You turned his head and saw a big furry face occupying the entire field of vision. He hesitated and said: "Mr. Monkey?"
"Mr. Monkey? Human boy is so interesting."
The furry big hand slapped Gu You's back fiercely, and the force used was so great that Yu Tianheng would probably be dead.
Failed to sense any malice in it, Dugu Bo and others in the distance had a big bump on their foreheads, and other places were unharmed. Gu You drank a sip of hot water, pulled out a friendly smile and asked in confusion: "Mr. Monkey, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Hey, I like you, kid, other humans are always speechless when they see me."
A flash appeared in front, and Gu You finally had the opportunity to see Mr. Monkey's true appearance.
The body size is similar to that of humans, and the height is about 1.7 meters. The dark grey skin looks extremely tough, and the fluffy golden hair emits a faint glimmer even on cloudy days.
His eyes are sharp, deep and spiritual, and a spark called "wisdom" flickers in the depths. There is a burning purple-red flame on his forehead, without any heat or energy fluctuations.
Even if he is friendly, Gu You dare not cross the line.
After all, this is a 100,000-year-old soul beast that has not appeared in the original book.
"My name is Hanuman, and I am the candidate for the Flame King who reigns over Yaksha Island and commands the Flame Monkey Clan, the Flame King Beast Hanuman."
"What about you, human boy."
'Candidate for the Flame King? '
Hearing the term appearing for the first time, Gu You silently remembered it in his heart.
Nodding slightly, Gu You said without losing the upper hand: "My name is Gu You, and I am the strongest captain who reigns over the Holy Soul Village and dominates the Royal Fighting Team, the terrifying evil beast Gu You."
