Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

"Chu Qin, what did you say?" Bi Bidong, having absorbed the Soul Ring, stood up and asked in confusion.

"I seem to be able to hear all the sounds in the entire forest!" Chu Qin said with slight astonishment.

"Ah, you mean the entire Aquipeia Forest!" Shui Bing'er exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes!" Chu Qin nodded. "The entire Aquipeia Forest. Yan Mei is safe. She is talking to someone a thousand miles away!"

"A thousand miles!" Everyone expressed incredulously.

"I don't know how, but it's true!"

Chu Qin was also somewhat baffled. What had happened? How could he suddenly hear voices from a thousand miles away?

"Maybe it's because of the Black Dragon Horn!" At that moment, Bi Ji spoke.

"The Black Dragon Horn?" Chu Qin questioned.

"Yes!" Bi Ji nodded, "The Black Dragon Horn is the emperor's horn of soul beasts, capable of hearing sounds over an extremely long-range. It can also use the hearing of all soul beasts to listen to voices even further away."

"The Aquipeia Forest is filled with soul beasts, which is why Chu Qin can hear Elder Yan Mei's voice from a thousand miles away!" Hulena suddenly understood and explained.

"That must be it!" Zi Ji followed up, "Master, you could do the same!"

"That makes it interesting!" Chu Qin finally showed a hint of a smile. "It seems Yan Mei is indeed safe!"

"Chu Qin, can you hear Jing'er's voice too?" Xu Yichen quickly asked.

"Let me try!" Chu Qin said, summoning the Black Dragon Horn directly. Sure enough, all the sounds became clearer. This meant that the voices Chu Qin heard were indeed related to the Black Dragon Horn.

"Found them!" Chu Qin's pupils contracted as he spoke. "Jing'er and the others seem to be with Yan Mei!"

"Where?" All the women asked in shock.

"A cave a thousand miles southeast!"

"Good, let's go, all of us together!" Bi Bidong said.

With that, Chu Qin and the women quickly set off for the cave that Chu Qin had located.

When they arrived, they were all somewhat surprised. This place was one of the rare plains within the Aquipeia Forest. As far as the eye could see, there were only shrubs and a lake. There seemed to be no cave in sight.

"Chu Qin, could there be a mistake?" Xu Shi Yun asked doubtfully, "There is no cave here."

"No mistake." Chu Qin said with a calm smile. "However, that cave is not in the mountains, but under our feet!"

"Under our feet!" All the women were taken aback and looked down at their feet.

"Chu Qin, there's nothing beneath our feet!" Longhuang also expressed hesitance. She had activated the Eyes of the Illusion God, but indeed had not found any trace.

"It means that this is no ordinary cave!" Chu Qin said with a smile. "Not only is it far beneath the ground, but it's also been placed under a certain barrier. I think this is also why we can't sense any messages from Demon Emperor No. 7!"

"Chu Qin, how do we get in?" Xu Yichen asked.

"Follow me!" Chu Qin led the women to the lakeside, guided by his mental sensing.

"Chu Qin, are you saying that the cave is below the lake?" Longhuang inquired.

"Yes, this is the entrance!" Chu Qin affirmed with a nod. "Get on the Golden Battleship. The Golden Battleship can shrink down, so everyone can enter!"

"Okay!"

Having spoken, Chu Qin led everyone onto the Golden Battleship. Then, under the drive of his soul power, the protective shield of the Golden Battleship activated and began to shrink.

Finally, the Golden Battleship sank toward the bottom of the lake.

```

Chu Qin and his companions quickly arrived at a small entrance in the center of the lake.

The Golden Battleship, once shrunk, sank for about ten minutes before the surroundings finally opened up, transforming into a waterfall.

The Golden Battleship then expanded back to its original size.

The scene before their eyes left everyone somewhat shocked.

This was an incredibly vast space surrounded by stone walls, with an underground river underneath the waterfall, flowing through the cracks at the bottom of the walls, its destination unknown.

In front of Chu Qin and the others was a gigantic nest!

The nest, similar to a bird's nest but many times larger than any bird nest, was clearly the nest of a giant soul beast.

The nest was startlingly high, reaching hundreds of meters, and was also a hundred meters wide.

What was most surprising was that within the nest, there lay the skeleton of a soul beast!

"What is this?" Seeing the nest and the skeleton of the soul beast, everyone fell into deep shock.

"I really didn't expect that beneath the Aquipeia Forest, there would be such a nest!" Wang Qiu'er exclaimed in surprise.

"This place must be hundreds of miles from the surface, and the entrance is incredibly narrow. It's no wonder that such a cave has never been discovered by humans or soul beasts." Zi Ji said.

"Hey, Chu Qin, how did you find this?" Hulena asked, puzzled.

"Wait, weren't we looking for Jing'er and the others? So, this means, this cave was discovered by little sister Jing'er!" Purple Pearl finally understood something!

"Correct." Chu Qin said with a slight smile, "Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, this cave has a very ancient history!"

"Chu Qin!" Just at that moment, Lan Jing'er's voice rang out.

The women turned towards the voice, and saw four figures standing under the skeleton of the soul beast, including Lan Jing'er, Ah Yin, Yan Mei, and an extremely beautiful woman clad in armor.

This woman had willow-leaf eyebrows and cherry lips, a melon-seed face, and exquisite features. She wore a suit of golden armor, and her hair was simply tied up with a headscarf, looking exceptionally breezy and elegant, exuding a commanding presence.

But her figure was so prominent—though encased tightly in armor, her slender waist, rounded hips, full chest, and delicate collarbones were plainly visible. Especially worth noting, underneath her armor skirt were alluring black silk-clad legs that made it hard to avert one's gaze.

Chu Qin and the ladies immediately spread their wings and flew to the other side, arriving beside Lan Jing'er.

"Chu Qin, how did you guys manage to find this place!" Lan Jing'er said, overwhelmed with joy.

"That's what I should be asking you. I asked you to find people, and you led us here!" Chu Qin replied gently.

"Hee hee, then, Chu Qin, I didn't let you down, I found Elder Yan Mei!" Lan Jing'er cheerfully pointed at Yan Mei as she spoke.

"Great Worship!" Yan Mei.

"Great Worship, I'm sorry!" Yan Mei called out to Chu Qin with a mix of emotion and excitement. She had already learned from Lan Jing'er that Chu Qin had mobilized a large group to come to the Aquipeia Forest, all because he was concerned about her safety.

"Why would you say that?" Chu Qin asked with a light smile.

"Because I, made you worry!" Yan Mei replied.

Chu Qin smiled lightly, "It's fine as long as you're safe."

"Mm!" Seeing Chu Qin's warm smile, the wicked fire within Yan Mei seemed to stir again, and she unconsciously clenched her legs together as she nodded with a smile.

"I am Mu Rao Lan, the Chief of the Southern Main Hall of the Spirit Hall of the Heaven Dou Empire, and I bow before the Great Worship!" At that moment, the woman in golden armor knelt before Chu Qin.

"Are you the benefactor that Yan Mei spoke of?" Chu Qin asked, looking at the woman who appeared to be in her late twenties, Mu Rao Lan.

"Great Worship, Lan'er is not my benefactor," Yan Mei interjected, "She's my junior sister."
