"If the infestation isn't dealt with in time, it will erupt into a plague. Every flower here has been painstakingly cultivated for hundreds of millions of years. Losing even one is enough to earn you ten thousand years in prison!"

"Who knows, in your next life, you might even be cast into the Animal Path!"

Shui Bing'er listened intently.

Though she did not know what the "Animal Path" was, the name alone told her it was no good place.

"Look, that's a Spirit Sickle Insect. It feeds specifically on flower stamens and has the ability to conceal its spiritual presence, making it difficult even for formations to detect. That's why we need to handle it ourselves!"

Lan Fuzi pointed at a hibiscus leaf.

A thumb-sized, silver-white beetle clung to it.

It resembled a praying mantis.

Its pair of forelimbs were as sharp as sickles, while its split mandibles looked exceptionally savage.

"This is the Golden Pocket Net, woven from thirty-three dragon tendons. Dragons are the rulers of scaled creatures, making them the natural bane of the Spirit Insect Clan!"

She handed a long-handled net to Shui Bing'er.

Shui Bing'er's wrist sank, and waves of dragon roars seemed to ring in her ears.

She possessed a Beast Martial Soul.

The sensation was even stronger for her.

Yet the disparity between them was simply too vast.

The instant she gripped it, her blood seemed to freeze.

She was being suppressed as well!

That dragon might spread through the Sky Screen and across the Douluo Continent.

"Roar—"

Everyone with a Beast Martial Soul fell to their knees, trembling beneath the immense dragon might.

"A dragon! I've seen the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul before. It couldn't possibly be this powerful!"

On Sea God Island, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others were crushed so badly they could not straighten their backs, while Zhu Zhuqing's face turned deathly pale.

"A dragon! This is what a true dragon is!"

In Heaven Dou City, Yu Tianheng knelt on the ground with a pale face and vacant eyes, his tone filled with mockery.

"My Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon is nothing before it...!"

As the direct heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, his inborn pride collapsed completely at that moment.

In the Star Dou Great Forest, Di Tian and Gu Yuena were equally pale.

They felt it!

It was an aura even more powerful than the Dragon God's.

Yet at this very moment, it had been skinned and stripped of its tendons, turned into a net for a maidservant to catch insects with!

How could that not leave them in despair?!

"My Lord, it seems this Heavenly Court is not very friendly toward us Soul Beasts!"

Di Tian said bitterly.

"Let's observe for now! Judging from the Ice Demon Bear incident earlier, that world also has forces made up of Soul Beasts!"

"This is our opportunity!"

"That is a world far beyond the God Realm. Even if we can borrow just a trace of its power, we can avenge the Dragon God!"

Gu Yuena analyzed the situation calmly.

This was also the advantage brought by one's strength and status: she could see what no one else on the Douluo Continent could.

"I hope we can enter that mysterious world next time!"

Di Tian's expression changed.

"My Lord, you are the hope of all Soul Beasts. You must not take such a risk!"

"Unfortunately, this is not something you or I can decide!"

Gu Yuena said regretfully.

Di Tian sighed in relief, but worry still filled his heart. One could never be too careful...

[Ning Rongrong's Perspective]

"Why... why?!"

On the sheer cliff face, Ning Rongrong's legs trembled as both hands clawed desperately into the cracks in the rock. Her eyes were fixed on the bright-red wild fruit ahead.

"My cultivation is higher than hers. I'm the Young Sect Leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and even a candidate for the divine trials... Why does she keep finding opportunities and advancing by leaps and bounds, while I can only hide in the shadows and barely survive?!"

Gritting her teeth, she encouraged herself while inching forward carefully.

"She's nothing but a failure dependent on others... Those things should have been mine! Mine!"

That day, she had been stalked and attacked by a vulture, thinking she was certain to die.

Yet she was saved by a slender hound that happened to pass by.

She thought it was a case of the mantis stalking the cicada, only for the other party to completely ignore her.

At first, she was glad to have been saved.

But the more she thought about it afterward, the more something felt wrong—and the angrier she became.

She had been ignored by a dog!

It made her feel utterly humiliated!

Then the Sky Screen announced Shui Bing'er's string of fortunate encounters, completely shattering her mental balance!

So, she decided to leave and seek out an opportunity of her own!

By sheer coincidence,

not long after leaving the cave, she was drawn in by a strange fragrance.

Then, with a single glance, she fixed her eyes on the most brilliantly blooming, most fragrant exotic flower and wild fruit growing on the cliff.

She was convinced that this was her destined opportunity.

Even after falling twice, she still refused to give up.

Well... the truth was,

she was simply starving, but she did not dare eat anything at random, so she chose this Destiny Fruit!

In Heaven Dou City, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo watched with both worry and relief.

"Come on, Rongrong! You're only one step away!"

"From what I can see, that fruit has a crystalline sheen and gives off a strange fragrance. It must be a treasure of heaven and earth. Rongrong has finally gotten lucky this time!"

Over on Sea God Island, however, the scene was entirely different.

"No, Rongrong! Why are you so stubborn? Give up! Give up!"

Oscar stomped his feet anxiously.

"Fall down! Hurry and fall down!"

Ma Hongjun shouted at the top of his lungs as well.

Tang San was equally anxious. Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo did not recognize it, but he knew at a glance.

What treasure or Immortal fruit was that? It was a deadly poison from the mortal world: Sunset Red!

After eating it, one would turn entirely into bloody water and die before sunset, hence the name Sunset Red!

As Ning Rongrong crept closer and closer to the poisonous fruit,

both sides watched until their eyes turned red with anxiety!

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo: "Hold on! You're almost there! Go, Rongrong!"

Ma Hongjun and Oscar: "Fall! Fall down! You have to fall down!"

"I, Ning Rongrong, will never give up!"

Ning Rongrong shakily stretched out her hand. Just as it was about to reach the fruit, a breeze swept past.

Sand got into her eyes!

"Ah—"

"Bang—"

Ning Rongrong cried out miserably and fell flat on her back!
