Douluo: Martial Soul Mysterious Tortoise, Counterattack Armor Critical Strike

"This is Sunset Town. It doesn't look very lively."

Huang Wei looked ahead at the plaque above the entrance, which bore the words "Sunset Town," and spoke.

The Coachman immediately said, "Sunset Town has fewer than a hundred households. All right, according to Your Eminence the Pope's instructions, I can only take you this far. Once you complete the mission, I'll come again for the journey afterward. The Spirit Hall squad stationed inside has already been waiting for you here."

As he spoke, he handed over a note.

Hu Liena took it and looked it over, then nodded. "We understand."

With that, the four of them quickly headed toward Sunset Town.

They headed straight for where the Spirit Hall squad was stationed.

Just as the Coachman was about to leave, a figure emerged behind him.

"Who is it?" The Coachman's expression turned wary.

"Don't be afraid. I'm one of us." A middle-aged man's voice rang out calmly.

Only then did the Coachman relax. He immediately cupped his hands and said, "Dean Foster."

Foster nodded. "Mm. The Pope sent me to protect them in secret. This is Young Master Wei's first time facing a Soul Master's challenge directly. There will be bloodshed. He needs to take this step."

"Dean, then I'll go wait at the designated location," the Coachman said.

"Go." Foster waved his hand. The Golden Eagle appeared and immediately took flight. He did not enter Sunset Town, since the town was not large and was surrounded by barren mountains and wilderness. He only needed to hide in the forest near them.

In truth, this mission was quite simple for him.

Inside the town, having arrived somewhere new, Huang Wei was naturally very interested.

Although Sunset Town suffered from the bandits' harassment, there were still open shops, operating stalls, and pedestrians after they entered.

Huang Wei bought several skewers of candied hawthorn and held them in his hands.

"You brat, we're here to do a mission, not to shop around and eat!" Seeing this, Yan seized the chance and immediately scolded him.

Unhurriedly, Huang Wei handed one skewer of candied hawthorn to Hu Liena, then another to Xie Yue. Both accepted them and ate them.

Then three pairs of eyes turned toward Yan.

They seemed to be saying, There's nothing wrong with eating. If you don't want any, then stop whining.

Yan was instantly bewildered. You've just abandoned me like this?

"Want one?" Huang Wei shook the candied hawthorn in his hand.

"No!" Yan snorted coldly with great backbone and turned his head away.

Huang Wei spoke in an extremely punchable tone. "Even if you said yes, I wouldn't give you any. I was just asking as a formality."

Hu Liena and Xie Yue immediately laughed.

Yan was furious.

Very soon, Hu Liena led everyone to the location written on the note.

It was an inn backed by a hill and forest.

As soon as the four of them approached,

five armored men walked over.

They wore smiles on their faces. "Saintess, Young Master Wei, Yan, Xie Yue, you've finally arrived."

The five guards cupped their hands in greeting toward Hu Liena and Huang Wei.

"I'm Gu Shangfeng, captain of this squad, a Level 43 Soul Ancestor."

"The four behind me are my teammates."

The leading man introduced them.

Hu Liena and the other three also smiled and nodded in response.

Hu Liena then said, "Tell us about the situation with the bandits here."

Gu Changfeng immediately told Hu Liena and the others everything he knew about the bandits.

The four of them now understood the situation.

The bandits were called the Wild Wolf Gang, and they had three bosses.

The First Boss possessed the cultivation of a Level 44 Soul Ancestor.

The Second Boss possessed the cultivation of a Level 39 Soul Elder.

The Third Boss possessed the cultivation of a Level 36 Soul Elder.

They had a total of thirty men under them.

However, during the battle with this squad,

fifteen of their men had been killed, while ten had been severely injured.

The injured included the Second Boss and Third Boss.

As for the First Boss, he had rescued them at the end and retreated back into the mountains.

Using the terrain to his advantage, he blocked this squad's subsequent attacks.

The squad had also suffered casualties. They had attempted to attack several times, but every attempt ended in failure.

Most importantly, the First Boss's family background was more powerful than Gu Changfeng's.

So he requested reinforcements from his superiors. Bibi Dong happened to seize this opportunity and intended to use it to train Hu Liena and the other three.

Huang Wei, in particular, was the key focus.

Having a six-year-old stained with blood was indeed somewhat cruel, but for some people, experiencing certain things earlier was actually beneficial.

And Huang Wei gave Bibi Dong the impression that he was one of those people.

Huang Wei said, "These are all minor problems. Take us to that mountain. I can't wait to get some real combat experience."

As he spoke, his face was filled with excitement, without the slightest trace of fear.

Wild Wolf Gang

Seeing Huang Wei act so boldly, without the slightest fear,

Hu Liena and the other two nodded in satisfaction.

At the very least, this was a good start.

Foster, hidden in the shadows, was also satisfied. He immediately took out a small notebook and recorded it.

Very soon, Gu Changfeng led everyone to the foot of the mountain.

There were also squad members guarding the area.

When they saw Gu Changfeng and the others return, they immediately nodded to one another.

Huang Wei and the others looked at the mountain ahead. With one glance, they could see fallen trees, churned earth, and scattered vegetation everywhere.

It was obvious that constant chaotic battles had taken place here.

"What's the situation now?" Gu Changfeng asked a guard who ran over.

After looking at Hu Liena and the others, the guard reported to Gu Changfeng, "The Wild Wolf Gang members on the mountain still haven't made any moves. They're waiting for us to go up, but to avoid unnecessary conflict, we've been waiting for reinforcements from Spirit Hall."

As he spoke, he could not help glancing at Hu Liena and the other three.

They may be the Saintess, the Young Master, Yan, and Xie Yue, but those three are only Soul Elders. And that Young Master is so young; his level can't be very high either.

Will they really be useful?

"Sigh, if we can't even take down a Wild Wolf Gang, then our squad won't be able to show our faces anymore. We might as well disband early, so..."

"We must wipe out this evil Wild Wolf Gang with our own hands!"

Gu Changfeng clenched his fists, deeply unwilling to accept this as he spoke.

"They're all minor problems. Come stand beside me. I'll open a path for you with Senior Sister and the others right now."

Huang Wei waved his hand, his face unconcerned.

"Although your strength is impressive, the enemy is not weak either," Gu Changfeng reminded him.

He felt that Huang Wei was joking.

"Don't worry. This guy's defense is terrifyingly strong. A mere Level 44 Soul Ancestor wants to break it? Forget one person—even with all the surviving Wild Wolf Gang members added together, they still won't be able to break through it!"

Although Yan was usually unhappy with Huang Wei, Huang Wei's powerful defense had won him over. At this moment, he was the first to actively praise Huang Wei's defensive strength.

Hu Liena and Xie Yue also nodded. "That's right. His defense is very strong. Even if everyone here attacked together at full strength, including us, we couldn't break it."

Gu Changfeng's expression immediately froze in astonishment.

Even these three praised this youth so highly. It seemed this youth really was extraordinary.

So he immediately walked over to Huang Wei's side.

Hearing all three of them praise him at once, Huang Wei began to feel a little smug.

But he truly did not care about the attacks of a Soul Ancestor, several Soul Elders, or even Soul Grand Masters.

Thought Moved, and he directly summoned his Martial Soul Mysterious Tortoise.

Soul Power surged through his body. The enormous Mysterious Tortoise appeared behind his back.

After Martial Soul Possession, his body swelled and grew taller. Emerald Armor covered his body, while his pupils faintly turned yellow. Everything before him appeared in slow motion; in fact, he could switch between fast and slow motion with a single thought.

When Gu Changfeng and the others saw Huang Wei's Martial Soul, their expressions froze in astonishment once again.

Damn, this tortoise Martial Soul is way too huge!

What kind of tortoise is this?

But now was not the time to ask such questions.

Huang Wei raised a hand and pointed. A Barrier spread outward, forming an emerald Tortoise Shell that enclosed all five of them.

The next moment, they simply walked toward the mountain ahead.

At that moment, at the Wild Wolf Gang's camp on the mountain, they were facing a difficult situation.

The foot of the mountain had already been surrounded by Spirit Hall.

The moment they went down the mountain, they would be attacked.

Other than several Wild Wolf Gang members scouting outside for information, all the injured survivors were recovering inside the camp.

"Big Brother, what do we do now?"

"Yeah, staying up here forever isn't a solution. Food and water will run out eventually, and we don't have much left. If this continues, we won't go down, they won't come up, and we'll be the ones worn down in the end."

"How about we lead the Wild Wolf Gang down and fight for a chance to live? At worst, we can submit to Spirit Hall!"

Inside the camp, in the bosses' room, three people sat around a terrain board.

The First Boss stared at it intently, trying to find a breakthrough that would allow them to leave this mountain and escape far away at the lowest possible cost. Once they got away, they would be safe.

"Impossible. Haven't you noticed? If Spirit Hall intended to subdue us and have us join them, they would have sent word after killing so many of our men."

"But they still haven't come. That means it's already impossible."

"Besides, every person in our Wild Wolf Gang has at least ten lives on their hands."

"They are destined to exterminate us."

The First Boss looked anxious, and his complexion was poor. Part of it was due to their current predicament, and part of it was from the injuries he had suffered when Gu Changfeng and the others had joined forces against him.

However, compared to the Second Boss, Third Boss, and the other surviving Wild Wolf Gang members, his injuries were nothing.

During this time, they had used the terrain on the mountain to their advantage, skillfully circling around their enemies and forcing the fight into an even stalemate.

"We're having a hard time, but they aren't having an easy time either."

"Rest and recover for a few more days. When the food and water are gone, if we still can't think of a solution, we'll lead the remaining men down and carve out a bloody path!"

After sighing, the First Boss's face hardened with cold determination.

"Quick, attack!"
