As Long As We Can Reach That Place! Don't Stop!
Before the Qian Daoliu arrive, their voices precede them.
He closed his eyes, his face filled with a pilgrim-like devotion, and opened his arms as if to embrace the whole world.
"Ah~ I can enter the sacred realm of my senior again. I'm ready to be greeted by the wonderful aroma of Egg Fried Rice."
He took a deep breath, using all his strength to expel every last bit of stale air from his lungs, and then inhaled sharply!
He wanted to absorb the first wisp of "immortal energy" from the sacred realm of his predecessors completely into his lungs and heart, to cleanse his soul, which had been tainted by the mortal world!
A divine aura fills the air!
In that instant, Qian Daoliu felt his soul being gripped by an invisible hand.
Then it was shoved into a rotten egg that had been fermenting for three thousand years, then thrown into a wooden barrel full of rotten salted fish and smelly socks, and finally the lid was put on, and it was shaken wildly for forty-nine days with ninety-nine levels of Soul Power.
The piety on his face froze.
His fantasy about Egg Fried Rice shattered.
The whole world, in his senses, became a thick, unyielding, sour stench filled with sin and despair.
"Buzz--!"
Qian Daoliu's mind went blank, with only this one voice echoing endlessly.
His legs buckled, his knees bent uncontrollably, and he was about to kneel down.
It's over...
Is this divine retribution for his behavior of having a romantic relationship during work hours?
Just as Qian Daoliu was about to have a close encounter with the earth, a strong hand reached out with lightning speed and caught his limp arm.
It's Golden Crocodile Douluo!
He swiftly caught Qian Daoliu, his brow furrowed.
"Big Brother, what's wrong with you? It's just the smell of food, why are you so excited to perform such a grand ceremony?"
However, the next second, Golden Crocodile Douluo's brows furrowed even deeper.
Because the "rule-level weapon" that had just defeated Qian Daoliu had finally spread to his front as well.
That smell could no longer be called a smell.
It was more like an invisible mental shock, carrying a physical force, giving him a powerful blow right in front of him!
"Smack!"
The slap made this level 99 Peerless Douluo's head buzz, and he stumbled, almost losing his balance.
Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression changed instantly.
For the first time, a look of utter horror, as if he had seen a ghost, appeared in his usually cunning and calculating eyes!
What is this thing?!
Just a whiff of it could shake the mind of this Peerless Douluo?!
Once he came to his senses, without the slightest hesitation, he grabbed Qian Daoliu's shoulder, who was already in a state of malfunction, and stomped his foot hard on the ground!
"Back off!!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo used all his strength to let out a deafening roar!
The other Grand Elder, who had already formed a tacit understanding in battle over decades, heard this heart-wrenching warning and, without even thinking, their bodies instinctively drove them to retreat in an instant, just like Golden Crocodile Douluo!
Bo Saixi, who was standing a little behind in the group, sensed something was wrong the moment she saw Qian Daoliu's body "collapse" and stopped walking, so she was not affected.
Upon hearing this warning, Ghost Douluo and the others instinctively stopped in their tracks, their faces filled with surprise and uncertainty.
Of the entire team, only one person ignored the warning.
Spirit Kite Douluo!
In her mind, burning with the fiery spirit of a foodie, there was only one thought at that moment.
Today! I must order two more dishes before everyone else! Hopefully, I can make up for the grilled kidneys I missed yesterday!
She didn't even notice Golden Crocodile Douluo's warning, nor did she see the terrified expressions on the faces of her colleagues ahead.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
With a cheerful stride, like a nimble lark, she lightly overtook everyone and was the first to dart into the hotel lobby!
She didn't even have time to find a seat before she eagerly began to speak, her face beaming with excitement.
"Senior! I'd like to order..."
The last word, "dish," was not even uttered.
Spirit Kite Douluo's voice suddenly stopped.
The excitement on her face instantly froze into a look of utter disbelief.
Her once bright eyes widened in shock, and her eyeballs quickly became bloodshot with terror!
The next second, her body began to tremble violently and uncontrollably, like a leaf trembling.
"Well..."
A short, painful groan escaped her throat.
Then, under the horrified gazes of everyone outside the door...
Spirit Kite Douluo's eyes rolled back, and he fell straight backward!
"Bang!"
She fell heavily to the ground and began to convulse violently.
She gripped her own neck tightly with one hand, as if something invisible was choking her!
With its other hand, it frantically scratched at the clean floor, desperately trying to crawl out of the store!
Her face had turned a deep purple, her voice was hoarse and filled with endless despair as she made her final plea for help to her colleagues outside the door.
"Inside... inside... there's poison!"
"Help... help me!!"
"I... I'm going to die!!!"
Seeing Spirit Kite Douluo's miserable state, everyone felt a chill run from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads, and their hair stood on end.
This is a Title Douluo!
He is a powerful figure standing at the pinnacle of the continent!
But just from smelling it, it's turned into this horrible mess!
What terrifying poison gas is lurking inside this shop?!
Instead of moving forward, they instinctively and simultaneously pulled back a safer distance.
Ghost Douluo turned pale with fright and almost instinctively covered Chrysanthemum Douluo's mouth and nose, shouting in terror.
"Yue Guan! Hold your breath! Don't inhale!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo was also deathly pale. Looking at the miserable scene inside the hall, he almost dropped his most precious Enlightenment Tea Tree.
It's over!
Ling Yuan is doomed!
Seeing that no one dared to come forward to rescue her, Spirit Kite Douluo's eyes revealed endless despair.
She was unwilling to accept it!
She hasn't tried every dish on her senior's menu yet! She hasn't tasted that legendary, divine dish!
How could she just die like that!
A powerful will to survive sustained her.
She abandoned her cries for help and instead focused all her energy on climbing.
With one hand still tightly gripping her own neck, and the other hand gripping the smooth floor, she struggled, inching, toward the light symbolizing "life" at the shop entrance.
That posture was tragic and heroic!
That look in his eyes was resolute!
"As long as... as long as we can get to that place..."
As long as we can leave this Death Domain filled with poisonous gas...
As long as I can live! As long as I still have the chance to eat the food prepared by my predecessors.
Everyone realized what was happening and clenched their fists to cheer on Spirit Kite Douluo: "Ling Yuan! Don't give up! Think about all the dishes you haven't eaten yet!"
"Don't stop, Elder Ling Yuan! Use your Soul Power to protect your heart meridian! Climb out!"
"Persistence is victory! You can survive if you get out!"
Encouraged by everyone, Ling Yuan slowly approached the door.
Three meters.
Two meters.
One meter.
The dawn of victory is just around the corner!
However, fate seemed to be playing a cruel joke on her.
Just before her fingertips were about to touch the safe area outside the door, she lost her last bit of strength.
Spirit Kite Douluo's body stiffened abruptly, and his hand, which had been reaching for the light, fell limply to his side.
Those eyes, which had once burned with the flame of survival, had completely lost their luster.
She collapsed at the last step before dawn.
"No--!!!"
"Ling Yuan (Elder Ling Yuan)!!"
Demon Bear Douluo, Tuoba Xi, and the others looked at the figure lying at the door and cried out in utter grief.
Several burly men, as strong as iron towers, had reddened eyes and were almost in tears.
With the help of Golden Crocodile Douluo, Qian Daoliu finally caught his breath. Looking at the fallen figure, his old face was filled with grief.
Right at the entrance to the hall, an atmosphere of sadness and solemnity filled the air.
A weak, uncertain voice suddenly rang out.
Walking at the back of the group, Emperor Dai Tianfeng of the Star Luo Emperor, who still hadn't figured out what was going on, pointed to the clear finger marks on Spirit Kite Douluo's bluish-purple neck and tentatively spoke.
"Um... is there any possibility...?"
"She's not dead."
"Did you just... knock yourself out?"
