Chapter 560: Exploration of the Mysterious Island and New Crisis

The Xingyao was sailing on the rough sea. Chu Tian and his companions, as well as the spirit masters of the Xingmang Clan, stood at the bow, looking at the mysterious island that was gradually becoming clearer in the distance. The sea breeze whistled past, bringing with it a salty taste, ruffling their hair, but everyone's eyes were shining with excitement and anticipation.

"Look, that's the mysterious island!" Xiaohua pointed ahead and said excitedly, and Xiaobai also shouted happily in her arms.

As the boat got closer to the island, they could see the dense jungle and towering mountains on the island. There was a light mist surrounding the island, adding a mysterious color to it.

"This place looks a bit spooky." Zhang Meng scratched his head, "But the more spooky it is, the more likely it is that there are good things hidden there."

The leader of the Xingmang tribe said seriously: "Everyone, don't take it lightly. According to the legend of the tribe, although this island may hide a huge treasure, it is also full of dangerous traps and powerful guardian beasts."

The boat finally docked at the shore of the island. After everyone got off the boat and stepped onto this mysterious land, they immediately felt a strong soul power fluctuation coming from the depths of the island.

"This soul power fluctuation is so strong. It feels stronger than any we have encountered before." Ye Li said with a frown.

Qin Feng clenched the Dragon Shadow Sword: "Everyone be careful, let's explore slowly and maintain a tight formation."

They walked along a winding path towards the island. The trees on both sides of the path were tall and dense, with branches and leaves intertwined, almost blocking out all the sunlight, making the surroundings seem a little dim. Suddenly, a soul beast that looked like a little monkey with wings swooped down from the tree and grabbed Xiaohua.

"Ah!" Xiaohua screamed in fright.

Xiaobai reacted quickly, jumping in front of Xiaohua and releasing a ray of light, which bounced the little monkey soul beast back.

"What kind of soul beast is this? It looks so agile." Chu Tian flew into the air and observed the little monkey soul beast.

A soul master from the Xingmang tribe said: "This is a flying monkey soul beast. They are extremely fast and good at group attacks. Everyone should be careful."

As soon as he finished speaking, many pairs of sparkling eyes appeared on the surrounding trees, and a group of flying monkey soul beasts surrounded him.

"It seems they want to treat us as lunch." Zhang Meng said with a big laugh, and then ordered the giant rock bear to prepare for battle.

The flying monkey soul beasts began to attack, they shuttled quickly in the air, and stretched out their claws to grab everyone from time to time. Chu Tian dealt with the flying monkey soul beasts in the air, and his soul blades kept shooting out, hitting several flying monkey soul beasts, but more flying monkey soul beasts continued to pounce on him.

The soul masters of the Star Clan released their soul power one after another. Their soul power turned into starlight chains, shooting towards the flying monkey soul beasts, trapping some of them.

Ye Li and the Frost Fox also joined the battle. The Frost Fox released cold air, forming a cold area around it. After the flying monkey soul beasts entered this area, their speed slowed down significantly. Ye Li took the opportunity to control the ice spikes and shot them at the flying monkey soul beasts. One by one, the flying monkey soul beasts were hit by the ice spikes and fell down.

Zhang Meng ordered the giant rock bear to swing its paws and slap the approaching flying monkey soul beasts away. Qin Feng held the Dragon Shadow Sword and flexibly shuttled among the flying monkey soul beasts. His sword moves were sharp and each sword could pierce the vital points of the flying monkey soul beasts.

Xiaohua and Xiaobai were not idle either. Xiaohua used her soul power to command Xiaobai, and Xiaobai used his speed advantage to shuttle among the flying monkey soul beasts and interfere with their attacks.

After a fierce battle, the flying monkey soul beasts were finally repelled.

"Huh, these little guys are quite difficult to deal with." Zhang Meng wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Continuing on, they came to a huge waterfall. The water of the waterfall was rushing down from the high mountain peak, making a deafening roar. Below the waterfall was a bottomless pool, surrounded by a thin layer of mist.

"This waterfall looks spectacular, but I always feel like something is wrong here." Chu Tian observed the waterfall and the pool from the air.

The leader of the Star Tribe nodded and said, "I feel the same way. Legend has it that there may be an entrance hidden behind this waterfall, but it is not easy to find the entrance."

The group began to look for the entrance around the waterfall. They searched for a long time and checked almost every stone around the waterfall, but still found no trace of the entrance.

"Could it be that our thinking is wrong?" Ye Li said somewhat frustratedly.

At this moment, Qin Feng discovered some strange soul power fluctuations in the pool. He squatted down and observed the pool carefully.

"Look, the fluctuations of soul power in this pool seem to be regular." Qin Feng said.

Chu Tian also flew down and looked at the soul power fluctuations in the pool. He suddenly thought of something: "I know, this pool may be the entrance. We need to follow the laws of these soul power fluctuations and inject soul power into it to open the entrance."

According to Chu Tian's idea, everyone injected their soul power into the pool. When they injected soul power according to the correct rules, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared in the pool.

"It looks like this is the entrance." said the leader of the Star Tribe.

They walked into the vortex carefully, and the suction of the vortex brought them into a mysterious cave. The cave was dimly lit, and some glowing gems were inlaid on the walls, barely illuminating the surrounding environment.

After walking in the cave for a while, they came to a huge hall. Various ancient artifacts and huge soul power containers were placed in the hall. In the center of the hall, there was a huge stone platform with complex runes engraved on it.

"These runes look like an ancient seal." Chu Tian said.

A soul master from the Xingmang tribe carefully studied the rune and said, "This is indeed a seal, and it is used to seal a very powerful force."

Just as they were studying the runes, a low roar suddenly sounded in the hall.

"Oh no, it seems like something has been alarmed by us." Zhang Meng said nervously.

A huge soul beast that looked like a unicorn but was covered with black scales walked out from a corner of the hall. Its eyes were like two burning flames, emitting a fierce light.

"This is a black-scaled Qilin, a very powerful guardian beast." The leader of the Xingmang tribe said, "We must be careful when dealing with it."

The black-scaled Qilin rushed towards the crowd, and the ground shook slightly with every step it took. It opened its mouth and spewed out a stream of black flames.

Chu Tian quickly flew into the air, dodging the fire attack of the black-scaled unicorn. He fired a soul blade at the black-scaled unicorn in the air, but the soul blade hit the scales of the black-scaled unicorn, leaving only a shallow mark.

Zhang Meng ordered the giant rock bear to charge at the black-scaled unicorn, and the giant rock bear swung its huge bear paw at the black-scaled unicorn. The black-scaled unicorn blocked it with its huge claws, and then pushed hard, pushing the giant rock bear back several steps.

Ye Li and Frost Fox released cold air, trying to freeze the Black Scale Kirin. However, the black scales on the Black Scale Kirin seemed to be able to resist the cold air, and the cold air did not have much effect on it.

The soul masters of the Star Clan released their soul power one after another, and their soul power turned into starlight shields, trying to block the attack of the Black Scale Qilin.

Qin Feng held the Dragon Shadow Sword and calmly observed the weakness of the Black Scale Qilin. He found that after launching a fire attack, the Black Scale Qilin would pause briefly to adjust its breathing.

"Everyone, pay attention to its attack rhythm. It will pause after launching the flames. We can take this opportunity to attack its eyes." Qin Feng shouted loudly.

Following Qin Feng's instructions, everyone began to strategically attack the Black Scale Qilin. Xiaohua and Xiaobai looked for opportunities on the side. Xiaobai used his speed advantage to disrupt the Black Scale Qilin when it attacked, while Xiaohua used his soul power to provide support for his companions.

After a fierce battle, the Black Scale Qilin's eye was hit once by Chu Tian, ​​and it became even more angry and its attack became more crazy.

"This is not a solution. We have to think of a better way to deal with it." Ye Li said worriedly.

At this moment, Chu Tian discovered that the rune seal on the stone platform seemed to have some connection with the black-scaled unicorn. He flew above the stone platform and observed the rune carefully.

"I think I have a solution." Chu Tian said excitedly, "This rune seal may be the key to controlling the Black Scale Qilin. If we can crack this rune seal, maybe we can stop the Black Scale Qilin from attacking."

Everyone gathered around and studied the rune seal together. After some effort, they finally found a way to crack the rune seal.

When they cracked the rune seal in the correct way, the black-scaled Qilin suddenly stopped attacking. The fierce light in its eyes gradually disappeared, and then it slowly retreated to the corner.

"Phew, that was close." Zhang Meng breathed a sigh of relief.

They continued to explore the hall, and in a corner, they found an ancient scroll. The scroll emitted a faint soul light, and was filled with ancient words.

The soul masters of the Xingmang tribe have done some research on ancient characters, and they interpreted the text on the scroll.

"This scroll contains more information about the power of the 'Soul Origin Heart'." The Star Mang leader said excitedly, "It mentions that deep in this island, there is a source of the power of the 'Soul Origin Heart', but it is guarded by a powerful dark force."

"Dark power? Then we have to be more careful." Qin Feng frowned.

Just as they were about to leave the hall and continue exploring deeper into the island, they suddenly discovered that a layer of black fog was filling the cave. This layer of black fog quickly spread and surrounded them.

"What is this fog? It feels so evil." Xiaohua said fearfully.

In the black mist, they heard a sinister laugh: "Do you think you can obtain the power of the Soul Heart so easily? You will all become my sacrifice."

A black figure loomed in the mist, emitting a powerful dark soul power that made people shudder.

"Who are you?" Chu Tian asked loudly.

The black figure said slowly: "I am the messenger of darkness. The dark power of this island is controlled by me. You stupid guys, how dare you come here to disturb my plan."

Zhang Meng said angrily: "Your plan is definitely not a good thing. We will not let you succeed."

The black figure sneered: "Just you? You are now trapped in my dark mist. Your soul power will gradually be weakened, and eventually you will become my meal."

Everyone felt that their soul power was indeed being eroded by the black mist, and their bodies became somewhat heavy.

"We can't just sit there and wait for death. Let's attack this black fog together and see if we can disperse it." Qin Feng shouted.

They all released their soul power and attacked the black mist. However, the black mist seemed to absorb their soul power, and their attacks made the black mist thicker.

"This won't work. We have to try another method." Ye Li said.

Just when everyone was thinking hard, Xiaohua suddenly thought of a solution.

"We can use the rune seal on the stone platform, maybe it can have an effect on this black fog." Xiaohua said.

Everyone thought this method was feasible, so they came to the stone platform again and used the previous method to break the rune seal to guide the power of the rune seal and shoot it towards the black mist.

After the power of the rune seal met the black mist, the black mist began to slowly dissipate.

The black figure was furious when he saw the black mist being dispelled: "How dare you destroy my dark mist? You all must die!"

He rushed towards the crowd, waved his hands, and two black soul blades shot towards them.

Chu Tian flew into the air, dodging the attack of the black soul blade. He also fired the soul blade at the black figure. Zhang Meng let the giant rock bear rush towards the black figure, and the giant rock bear's huge force hit the black figure.

Ye Li and the Frost Fox released cold air, trying to freeze the black figure. The soul masters of the Xingmang tribe also released their soul power and attacked the black figure.

Qin Feng held the Dragon Shadow Sword and moved freely among the attacks of the black figure. He was looking for the black figure's weakness.

After a fierce battle, Qin Feng found that the black figure's weakness was in his abdomen. When the black figure attacked again, Qin Feng seized the opportunity, rushed forward, and stabbed the black figure's abdomen with a sword.

After being stabbed by the sword, the black figure let out a painful scream. His body began to flicker and seemed to disappear.

"Do you think you can defeat me like this? My master will not let you go." After the black figure said this, he disappeared completely.

"His master? Is there a more powerful enemy behind?" Chu Tian frowned.

"No matter what, let's find the source of the power of the 'Soul Heart' first." said the leader of the Star Tribe.

So, they continued to move towards the depths of the island, not knowing what kind of dangers and secrets were waiting for them ahead. But they were full of firm belief in their hearts, and they must uncover all the secrets of the "Soul Origin Heart" and protect the peace of the martial soul world.
