Auspicious Beast Missing, Scarlet King Panics
"Second brother, how did you get so badly injured?"
Upon arriving beside the Titan Giant Ape, the Sky Azure Bull Python looked at the Titan Giant Ape's miserable state and couldn't help but reveal a hint of shock in its eyes.
It's important to understand that while the Titan Giant Ape isn't as strong as him, there are very few humans who can surpass him. Yet, it's been beaten so badly. Could it be that some Title Douluo of level 97 or higher has come to the Star Dou Great Forest?
Hearing the Sky Azure Bull Python's shocked words, the Titan Giant Ape couldn't help but smile wryly, "Brother, we all underestimated that human. Judging from the way he fought just now, I don't think even if you personally took action, you might not be able to defeat him!"
"What?! Could it be that the other person is stronger than me?"
Hearing the Titan Giant Ape's words, the Sky Azure Bull Python was even more shocked. Besides that woman, were there truly any humans stronger than him left?
The Titan Giant Ape shook its head and explained, "No, that's not it. In fact, if it were a head-on fight, that human wouldn't be a match for me. But his special attack has an extremely long range and is quite fast. My attacks couldn't even touch him, which is why I was beaten so badly."
A long-range attack is not scary, nor is a high speed. What is scary is a combination of high speed and a long-range attack, which creates the conditions for a kite.
This is why the performance of Soul Tool was already quite remarkable in Douluo 2. If it weren't for certain reasons, it would have been no surprise that the Sun Moon Empire would have crushed Douluo Continent.
"Is this really true?"
Upon hearing the Titan Giant Ape's explanation, the Sky Azure Bull Python was taken aback before carefully examining the Titan Giant Ape's injuries.
After careful observation, the Sky Azure Bull Python discovered that although the Titan Giant Ape looked quite miserable and was indeed seriously injured, it was far from the extent that the Sky Azure Bull Python had previously thought—that it was seriously injured or even on the verge of death.
This also corroborates to some extent that the opponent's attack power was indeed not strong; otherwise, the Titan Giant Ape would not have suffered such minor injuries after enduring so many attacks.
"By the way, did that Spirit Master run away?"
At this moment, the Sky Azure Bull Python came to its senses and, unable to see its opponent, couldn't help but ask the Titan Giant Ape for answers.
The Titan Giant Ape said with some helplessness, "That person left quickly after seeing that you were coming, Big Brother. It seems he didn't want to meet you."
The Sky Azure Bull Python nodded. The reason it made a sound was partly to scare Qing Mu away, and partly to send a message to the Titan Giant Ape: if it couldn't hold on, it should flee to its side.
On the other side, after Teleportation several times and confirming that the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python could not catch up, Qing Mu stopped to recover his Spiritual Power.
This battle with Titan Giant Ape Harvest for both Qing Mu and Venusaur.
Although Qing Mu kept leveling up, those Soul Beast couldn't withstand even a few Solar Beam from Venusaur, making it impossible for Qing Mu and Venusaur to test their strength.
However, there are still too few opponents like Titan Giant Ape, which can withstand Venusaur's Ultimate Solar Beam and whose combat strength is just right.
As a result, after this battle, Qing Mu and Venusaur gained considerable insights into their own fighting styles.
"However, this seems to differ from the two combat methods I initially envisioned," Qing Mu said, stroking his chin.
Qing Mu initially envisioned two combat methods: one was to rely on Solar Beam and other means to withstand enemy attacks and output damage, and the other was to utilize speed advantages to close the distance and output damage like Agility Attack System.
Now, his fighting style leans more towards using the speed of the Grass Slide and the attack range advantage of the Solar Beam to kite his opponent, aiming to deal damage without taking any harm.
However, this dilemma was fleeting. After all, the attack range of Spirit Master and Soul Beast in the Douluo Continent is so short that it's hard not to fight this way!
Then, Qing Mu looked in the direction of the Spirit Hall and murmured, "My current strength should be no less than those level 96 Title Douluo in the Worship Hall, right?"
The Titan Giant Ape, which is 100,000 years old, is a being that even ordinary level 96 Title Douluo would find difficult to defeat. But he won. In a sense, his current strength is even greater than those level 96 Title Douluo.
However, Qing Mu was not arrogant. The reason he was able to defeat the Titan Giant Ape this time was ultimately because the opponent was not fast enough. If the opponent were faster than him, it would not have been so easy for him to kite it.
"Let's keep leveling up. Once I break through level 70, my strength will increase even further. At that time, there will probably be no more than two hands strong in this world who are stronger than me."
Qing Mu is confident in this, and judging from his current rate of progress, that day is not far off.
After a short while, Qing Mu, having recovered somewhat, continued her training with Venusaur in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Even the Titan Giant Ape, the undisputed King of the Forest, was defeated by him. There is nothing left in the Core Zone Star Dou Great Forest that can threaten his life.
Just as Qing Mu continued to level up frantically, inside the Lake of Life, a Soul Beast that looked somewhat like Red Mastiff and had three lion-like heads seemed to sense something and suddenly awoke.
Then his three heads looked around, and upon realizing that the target was indeed gone, they immediately became extremely panicked.
"Oh dear~ my little darling, why did you run off again?"
This three-headed mastiff is the patriarch of the three-headed red mastiff clan, the bodyguard of the three-eyed golden lion, and the red king who fought the eighth of the twenty great ferocious beasts.
After a moment of panic, the Scarlet King immediately followed the aura of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and gave chase.
At this moment Scarlet King felt not only fear but also a sense of helplessness. He had only taken a short nap to digest the energy he had obtained from the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and the Auspicious Beast had seized the opportunity to escape from this place.
And this time was different from the past. In the past, he always knew when the Auspicious Beast went out for some fresh air and would quietly follow behind, but this time he failed to notice it immediately.
Although they knew that the Auspicious Beast was currently five thousand years old, and given his status, the Soul Beast wouldn't dare to harm him, but what if...?
Moreover, the Star Dou Great Forest isn't just inhabited by Soul Beast; it also contains humans!
Immediately, the Scarlet King followed the aura of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and moved forward rapidly.
"The Auspicious Beast actually chose this path?"
As he followed, a hint of surprise flashed in the Scarlet King's eyes, for the direction he was heading was precisely the direction of the Lake of Life, or more accurately, the Pseudo-Life Lake.
The true Lake of Life has been concealed by Lord Silver Dragon King to aid in its own recovery. The lake outside is merely an ordinary lake imbued with some of the aura of the Lake of Life. While it possesses some mystical qualities, it is far from comparable to the true Lake of Life.
