Just as Zhang Lexuan and Cai Mei'er were preparing to lead their respective teams to search for Huo Yuhao and Wang Qiu'er, a loud "BOOM!" suddenly came from the east side of the meeting point!

That was... the sound of Soul Cannon!!

The group exchanged glances, the answer obvious, and immediately rushed towards the direction of the explosion.

Why did Cai Mei'er and the others send a message first and then wait for Zhang Lexuan and the others at the meeting point instead of going directly to find Huo Yuhao and Wang Qiu'er? It's because they had no idea where Huo Yuhao and Wang Qiu'er were.

The Star Dou Great Forest is so vast that if you go in the wrong direction, you'll really be wasting your time.

Moreover, Cai Mei'er could no longer split her team, because with the presence of three Soul Douluo Evil Soul Master, it would be too dangerous for them to separate again.

Therefore, whether for safety reasons or to find Huo Yuhao and Wang Qiu'er, Cai Mei'er's first task was to notify Zhang Lexuan so that the two teams could search in different directions.

But now, the Soul Cannon is coming from the east, so Huo Yuhao and Wang Qiu'er are very likely over there.

That's why everyone flew eastward at top speed.

After traveling eastward for a full two hours, the group finally spotted a familiar tent!

Wang Dong'er was clearly the most eager, and she pounced on him immediately.

But when she opened the tent, she was stunned to see Huo Gua and Wang Qiu'er, who were disheveled.

Fortunately, although Wang Qiu'er rested her head on Huo Yuhao's lap, their current appearance made it impossible to imagine any romantic scene.

Although their clothes were quite tattered, they were covered in blood, clearly indicating that they had been through a fierce battle.

So after a slight pause, Wang Dong'er ran over with tears in her eyes to check Huo Gua's Life signs.

"How are they?" Cai Mei'er asked anxiously.

Huo Yuhao is the heir of the Sea God Pavilion from the previous generation. If he really dies here, then she, Martial Soul Department Vice Dean, will truly be a sinner of Shrek.

Upon hearing Cai Mei'er's voice, Wang Dong'er continued to cry, choking out, "She... she's unconscious... she should be alright."

Upon hearing this, everyone, including Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao, breathed a sigh of relief.

The only one who remained calm throughout was Zhou Huan.

Looking at Huo Gua and Wang Qiu'er, Zhou Huan sighed inwardly. No matter what Huo Gua thought, he still had an indelible relationship with Wang Qiu'er.

In fact, many people had different opinions about Huo Gua's views on love when they read the original novel in their previous lives.

Some people think that Huo Gua is a scumbag who flirts with women everywhere but is irresponsible. Moreover, he doesn't flirt in the typical scumbag way, but rather with his "deep affection."

This isn't about the Ju Zi, because at that time Huo Gua always thought Wang Dong was a man, so there's no question of him being a "scumbag."

Even though Huo Gua was already with Wang Dong'er, his attitude towards Wang Qiu'er remained the same—like a central air conditioner.

Huo Gua clearly told Wang Qiu'er that he only liked Wang Dong'er, but the way he interacted with Wang Qiu'er left room for speculation. For example, he told people the story of the sesame seed cake and even shared a sesame seed cake with them.

This is disgusting to many people.

Since you have no feelings for her, you shouldn't keep saying things that stir up trouble.

Perhaps Huo Gua didn't mean anything by it, but Wang Qiu'er took it to heart.

Even after Wang Qiu'er's Sacrifice, Huo Gua admitted that his feelings for Wang Qiu'er were real.

However, on the other hand, some people think that if Huo Gua wasn't devoted to Wang Dong'er, why was he able to pluck the Lovesick Heartbreak Red?

This is the most direct evidence that Huo Gua is not a scumbag, so many people believe that Huo Gua is not a scumbag.

As for what Zhou Huan was thinking?

Well, Zhou Huan didn't really have many thoughts on this. If he were in his previous life, as an observer, he might have made a few comments.

But now that he's in the thick of it, Zhou Huan just wants to say, wasn't this all started by some God King?

If it weren't for the plot to seize the destiny of the Douluo Son of Destiny and the Star Dou Great Forest, would so many tragedies have occurred?

As for Huo Gua's character, Zhou Huan didn't bother to comment, especially on his personal relationships—what business was it of his?

Zhou Huan is now more like an "observer" in the game; as long as he doesn't get in the way of leveling up, that's fine.

Perhaps one day, Zhou Huan will be forced to get involved himself, but hasn't that point come yet?

While Zhou Huan was thinking about these random things, inside the tent, Wang Dong'er had already fed Huo Gua the healing medicine, and Cai Mei'er was also healing Wang Qiu'er. However, when she saw the wounds and stitches on her body, she was also very surprised. The injury was very serious!

"Wow, this Wolf Ape has Soul Bone!"

Suddenly, the voice of Xiao Xiao, a skilled corpse-plunderer, drifted from outside the tent.

Zhou Huan glanced at the other two Wolf Ape corpses not far away and said, "You can also touch those two Wolf Ape corpses; you might even find some Soul Bone."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao curled her lip, indicating disbelief. "How is it possible for all three Wolf Apes to have Soul Bone? If that's even possible, I'll just eat the other two Wolf Apes."

Zhou Huan almost burst out laughing upon hearing this, but his facial expression control was always excellent, and he managed to restrain his facial muscles. He thought to himself, "You little loli, you're really talking big! Just wait and see how you manage to devour these two Wolf Apes!"

However, Zhang Lexuan noticed Zhou Huan's gloating look, so she leaned closer to him and whispered, "What's going on? Did you trick Xiao Xiao again?"

Zhou Huan silently took Zhang Lexuan's hand and said, "She dug her own hole and jumped in herself, and I haven't even said anything yet."

Zhang Lexuan, whose hand was suddenly taken, couldn't help but feel a little flushed in front of everyone, but she didn't pull away from Zhou Huan's hand. Instead, she continued to ask, "Why do I feel like you're pretty sure those two Wolf Ape also have Soul Bone?"

However, before Zhou Huan could answer, Xiao Xiao actually dug out an identical Wolf Ape Left Leg Bone from another corpse; at the same time, Li Yongyue also dug out a left leg bone from a third Wolf Ape corpse.

This shocked everyone present. Even Cai Mei'er, Ma Xiaotao, and Han Ruoruo looked at Zhou Huan with the same question as Zhang Lexuan.

Zhou Huan smiled and explained, "These three Wolf Apes are clearly identical; we can tell at a glance. Moreover, judging from their size, they are only at the level of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and their age isn't too high. However, they managed to injure the class monitor and Wang Qiu'er so severely, which clearly indicates their strength."

"And this 'powerful aspect' is very likely the Trinity Fusion Skill. At this time, Xiao Xiao found another Soul Bone from the first Wolf Ape's corpse, so I guessed that the other two Wolf Ape also had the same Soul Bone."

Everyone nodded in agreement; what Zhou Huan said did seem to make a lot of sense.

Xiao Xiao glared fiercely at Zhou Huan: "You knew from the beginning?!"

Zhou Huan shook his head speechlessly. "I didn't ask you to eat the Wolf Ape, you're just being stupid."

Xiao Xiao snorted and ignored Zhou Huan, handing the Soul Bone in her hand to Cai Mei'er.

It's impossible for her to eat Wolf Ape; the little girl isn't really stupid.

Afterwards, everyone waited outside the tent for another half an hour. Huo Gua and Wang Qiu'er also woke up during this time and were recovering from their injuries and regaining their Soul Power.

However, Zhou Huan could tell that there was something different in Wang Qiu'er Qiu'er's eyes when she looked at Huo Gua.

Most Soul Beast think like this: if they want something, they will definitely grab it and fight for it. Survival of the fittest and elimination of the weak are the laws of survival for Soul Beast.

Especially the Imperial Auspicious Beast, Wang Qiu'er, who is proud and aloof, has already made up her mind about Huo Gua, so of course she won't care about Wang Dong'er's existence.

Unfortunately, Soul Beast is just Soul Beast all, especially one that hasn't experienced the harsh realities of life. It will never understand the complexity of the human heart, especially when it comes to emotions.

There are even many situations where he loves you, but will never be with you.

This contradictory emotion is something that a mere Imperial Auspicious Beast cannot comprehend.

The moment Wang Qiu'er fell in love with Huo Gua was not the beginning of the tragedy, but its inevitable conclusion.

Just as Zhou Huan was lost in thought, a sudden roar came from the back of the camp!

Cai Mei'er was the first to stand up. "Could it be the Earthshaker Roar?"
