New Type of Hand Grenade

Chapter 58 New Type of Hand Grenade

"Old monster, where is the Fire Spirit Beast?!"

"It's in the south of the forest, but I don't know its exact location. I've only seen it a few times and don't know where it lives!" Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo shook his head.

"South?! Sunset Forest isn't that big, we'll find it eventually if we search a little longer!" Li Fei pondered for a moment, then said with a fawning smile, "Old monster, help me hunt a soul!"

"Walk!"

"Wait a moment!"

Li Fei hurriedly ran to the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, carefully picked it, and put it into his Ruyi Baibao bag, leaving the root intact since he didn't need to eat the root to consume it. Then he had Dugu Bo take him flying to the south of the forest.

"I've never been to the southern part of the forest before. I never expected there to be a dormant volcano here. No wonder the Fire Spirit Beast appeared here!"

Looking down at the small hill radiating intense spiritual energy, and feeling the explosive power within its body, he couldn't help but realize something.

"This extinct volcano is also the origin of Sunset Forest's name. Legend has it that ten thousand years ago, a huge fireball as big as the sun fell here and formed this volcano," Dugu Bo explained with a smile, revealing the origin of Sunset Forest's name.

Li Fei nodded, understanding that the fireball might have been an attack suffered when the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings fell, or it might have been a part of the Fire Dragon King's body, which would have caused this scene.

"Third Soul Skill: Perception!"

Extending his mental energy, Li Fei could clearly see everything within a 500-meter radius in his mind. After sensing it, he discovered a sacred aura in an area. This aura could only be found on soul beasts with sacred attributes, and it was located at the bottom of the volcano.

"Old monster, let's go check in that direction!"

Pointing to the western mountains near the extinct volcano, the two quickly arrived there. They did not find the Fire Spirit Beast, but there was a huge cave in the distance.

"The fire-attribute spiritual energy inside the cave is mixed with a trace of divine holy power. The Fire Spirit Beast should be inside!" Li Fei sensed the surrounding environment and immediately noticed the anomaly in the cave. There was an unusually violent fire-attribute spiritual energy inside the cave, and a wave of heat would occasionally burst out from it. Apart from this place, there was no other place in the entire Sunset Forest suitable for the Fire Spirit Beast, so Li Fei was certain that it must be inside.

"This cave should lead to the interior of the volcano, where my combat power will be limited, while the Fire Spirit Beast can unleash power several times greater than usual. I might not be able to defeat it!" Dugu Bo analyzed with a solemn expression. Most of his combat power was in poison, and the high temperature environment would render most toxins ineffective.

"Since it won't work inside, why don't we just wait outside for it?! I don't believe it will stay inside forever and never come out to eat!" Li Fei said nonchalantly, taking out more than a dozen different grenades from his storage bracelet and starting to create a trap near the cave entrance, intending to cut off the Fire Spirit Beast's retreat.

"Hey kid, what did you bury?!" Dugu Bo asked curiously, watching Li Fei bustling around near the cave entrance.

"These are level-one soul tools that I developed myself. Their power is comparable to a full-force attack from a Soul Douluo. I'll use them to block the Fire Spirit Sacred Beast's retreat!" Li Fei smiled and tossed a few to Dugu Bo.

"This can be activated with soul power; I'm sure you'll like it!"

The current hand grenades are not the original gunpowder version, but have been modified by Li Fei. They are now engraved with fire arrays and enhancement arrays, making them more than ten times more powerful!

"A full-force attack comparable to Contra's!" Dugu Bo's heart was in turmoil as he stared at Li Fei in disbelief: "You brat, you're not kidding, are you?!"

"You can try it later! However, since it's immune to fire attacks like the Fire Spirit Beast, its effectiveness against it might be reduced!"

After burying the grenade and adjusting the firing mechanism, Li Fei went to Dugu Bo's side and explained the basic usage of the grenade to him.

Looking at the black sphere in his hand, which was only the size of a baby's fist, Dugu Bo was still somewhat skeptical. However, he decided to give it a try and carefully put it into his storage belt.

The two lay in ambush nearby, waiting for the Fire Spirit Beast to emerge. Food cannot be preserved inside the volcano, and with the Fire Spirit Beast present, there probably wouldn't be any fire-attribute soul beasts inside, so the Fire Spirit Beast would definitely come out to hunt for food.

After waiting for a long time without seeing the Fire Spirit Beast appear, Li Fei got a little bored and took out a piece of metal from his storage bracelet. He sat down and began to carve it, holding only a carving knife in his hand.

With each strike, the metal was covered with various mysterious patterns. Dugu Bo recognized it as a magic array at a glance and asked curiously.

"You brat, you can make soul tools?!"

"I know a little! I found a fragmented method for manufacturing soul tools in the Spirit Hall's library, and I studied it in my spare time. Now I can barely manufacture level two soul tools, but unfortunately, their power is not great. They can barely deal with Soul Masters." Li Fei gently blew away the debris and said without looking up, his hands continuing to carve carefully.

"Barely able to deal with a Soul Master?!" Dugu Bo looked completely bewildered. He took out a grenade from his storage belt and asked in confusion, "Didn't you say that this grenade had the power of a Soul Douluo's full-force attack?"

"That's different. The grenade's main explosive force comes from the highly compressed gunpowder inside, not from soul power!" Li Fei explained with a smile.

"I see!" Dugu Bo nodded.

Time passed by, and the two stayed at the cave entrance for three whole days. Li Fei had made a lot of parts, and just as he was about to assemble the soul guide cannon he designed, he saw a huge fire leopard, four meters long, slowly walk out of the cave. It looked proud and confident, with golden flames burning on its shoulders and tail, making it look sacred and solemn.

The Fire Spirit Beast looked around, unaware of Li Fei and Dugu Bo hiding in the shadows, and then ran towards the area where the soul beasts gathered in the distance.

"Old monster, make your move!" Li Fei, who had been lying in ambush, looked at the Fire Spirit Beast with its back to him and whispered a reminder. Then, he unleashed his soul power and transformed into a blur as he rushed toward the Fire Spirit Beast. A tungsten steel staff appeared in his hand, with water-attribute soul power wrapped around it. He swung the staff out, and the air rippled like water waves.

"Flowing Water, Azure Dragon's Chant!"

As the soul power erupted, a stream of water appeared on the staff, transforming into a giant azure dragon that coiled out, its roar exploding as it rushed straight towards the waist of the Fire Spirit Beast.

Li Fei was fast, but the Fire Spirit Beast was even faster. It transformed into a golden light and shadow, dodging the Azure Dragon's bite. With a gentle twitch of its tail, which was wrapped in flames, it directly dispersed the Azure Dragon that Li Fei had unleashed. Then, its claws, wrapped in golden flames, pierced directly into Li Fei's chest like swords!

As a new author, this is my first book, so there are many shortcomings and I haven't considered everything thoroughly. There are also quite a few parts that are just my own personal enjoyment. I hope you will forgive me.

I'll continue to sit and organize, and review Douluo Continent. I'll work hard to make corrections later to make the plot more rigorous and thorough, so as not to disappoint everyone.

I apologize for the poor reading experience caused by these issues and hope for your understanding.

Also, thank you all for your monthly ticket donations.

I still want to keep reading, and please vote with monthly tickets, especially keeping reading, which is very important for a new book.
