Before long, Lu Yunzhou and his group arrived above the renowned core area of the Star Dou Forest—Lake of Life.
"Is this vast lake below the so-called Land of Ferocious Beasts?"
Looking at the expansive lake below, Qian Renxue recalled Lu Yunzhou's earlier words. Her heart stirred with anticipation as she swallowed involuntarily.
Bibi Dong, after glancing at the seemingly bottomless lake, turned her gaze back to Lu Yunzhou. Speaking cautiously, she probed, "Mr. Lu, should we descend now?"
In response, Lu Yunzhou shook his head slightly and replied,
"Whatever we do, the most important thing is to prioritize caution."
"If we all descend together, we will undoubtedly alert them, making a confrontation inevitable. For the sake of everyone's safety, let's proceed carefully."
Hearing this, Bibi Dong murmured to herself in confusion, "Proceed carefully?"
As soon as Bibi Dong finished speaking, a shadow shot toward her at great speed. Reacting quickly, she extended her hand to catch the object.
The one who had thrown the shadow was none other than Lu Yunzhou.
Not only Bibi Dong but also Qian Daoliu, Qian Renxue, and the other elders, consecrations, and bishops of Spirit Hall aboard the airship each received a similar item.
Looking at the small, smooth, black pill in their hands, everyone couldn't help but wonder what it was.
"Could this be similar to the Soul Ascension Pill, possessing some special effect or ability?"
As Devil Bear Douluo examined the pill in his hand, curiosity and confusion flickered across his face. The thought of trying it immediately crossed his mind.
At this moment, Lu Yunzhou began to explain,
"This item is called the Turtle Breath Pill. Simply put, it is a medicinal pill that can completely mask the aura of its user. Once you consume it, your presence will disappear, making it nearly impossible for others to detect."
"Our venture into the Land of Ferocious Beasts is no trivial matter."
"For everyone's safety, I ask that you all take this pill before proceeding further."
With that, Lu Yunzhou took the first step, swallowing the pill in front of everyone. Using his spiritual energy, he quickly processed the pill's effects.
Seeing this, the others exchanged glances before following suit, consuming the Turtle Breath Pill one after another.
In no time, all their auras vanished entirely. Even Qian Daoliu, a supreme expert, could not sense a single trace of energy from the group.
"This pill is truly a treasure! It's perfect for assassinations and ambushes," remarked Ghost Leopard Douluo with a grin as he observed the subtle changes in himself. Being a Titled Douluo specializing in agility and stealth, he was ecstatic at the potential uses of the Turtle Breath Pill.
"It's an extraordinary treasure indeed," commented Golden Crocodile Douluo, the second strongest under the Absolute Douluo rank. He couldn't help but praise the pill's effects after experiencing them firsthand.
"Well, it's effective, but it doesn't taste like much," Qian Renxue muttered instinctively after chewing the pill.
For Qian Daoliu, this was his first exposure to the wonders of alchemy, sparking intense interest within him.
"I wonder if this old man could become an alchemist one day. These peculiar items are truly tempting," he mused aloud, his face lighting up with anticipation.
At this point, Bibi Dong spoke up with a flattering tone,
"Mr. Lu's thoughtfulness in ensuring our safety is truly fortunate for us all. On behalf of Spirit Hall, I thank you, Mr. Lu."
In response, Lu Yunzhou replied calmly, "It's nothing. A small gesture."
Seeing that everyone had consumed the Turtle Breath Pill and completely masked their auras, Lu Yunzhou fixed his gaze on the lake below and said,
"Let's go."
With that, he led the charge, stepping onto his sword and flying directly into the Lake of Life.
"Old man follows!" Qian Daoliu declared with a carefree laugh. Golden wings unfurled behind him as he followed closely after Lu Yunzhou.
The rest of the group quickly trailed behind.
To avoid their clothes getting drenched and hindering movement, Lu Yunzhou utilized his vast, ocean-like spiritual energy to form a protective barrier around himself, keeping the water at bay. The others quickly mimicked his actions, using their own Soul Power to create similar barriers.
"You should conserve your Soul Power; it's not abundant," said Bibi Dong as she extended her Soul Power to create a shield for Qian Renxue, preventing her from being soaked.
Qian Renxue was momentarily stunned by the gesture, her heart warming slightly. Despite her icy tone, she muttered, "Thank you."
Hearing this, Bibi Dong paused briefly before replying simply, "It's nothing." Beneath her composed response lay a mixture of emotions she herself could not fully understand.
The Land of Ferocious Beasts—
A hidden paradise within the Star Dou Forest, this place was an isolated utopia of lush mountains, clear waters, and vibrant wildlife.
"To think, there's an entirely different world beneath the lake! Truly an eye-opener," mused Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan as he admired the scenery.
Hearing this, Lion Douluo, the fourth consecration, scolded him angrily,
"Yue Guan, be careful! If you ruin Mr. Lu's plans, you'll suffer the consequences!"
After Lion Douluo's warning, Azure Luan Douluo, the third consecration, asked,
"Mr. Lu, could you enlighten us about the powerful Soul Beasts within this Land of Ferocious Beasts? It would help us prepare."
At this moment, all the elders and consecrations of Spirit Hall gazed at Lu Yunzhou with immense respect and reverence, far surpassing the regard they held for Bibi Dong or Qian Daoliu.
Hearing Azure Luan Douluo's question, Lu Yunzhou nodded thoughtfully and replied,
"Of course."
