Titan Giant Ape! Azure Ox Python!

The second day, Dugu Bo, Lu Chen, and Dugu Yan traveled through the Star Dou Great Forest.

Lu Chen never released his soul rings from beginning to end, and Dugu Bo focused his attention on Thousand Year Soul Beasts suitable for a Sword Martial Soul.

To make Lu Chen indebted to him, Dugu Bo put in his best effort along the way.

The sky gradually darkened.

Dugu Bo chose a relatively open clearing and set up a temporary tent with the two of them.

Dugu Yan gnawed on a cold, hard flatbread in her hand, her cheeks puffed out like a squirrel's.

Seeing this, Lu Chen walked to Dugu Yan's side, took out a string of fragrant roasted fish, and placed it in front of her.

Dugu Yan's eyes lit up. As she took the roasted fish, her fingertips were scalded and retracted, but she still said with surprise, "Wow! Lu Chen, where did you conjure this roasted fish from?"

"My Storage Soul Tool can keep food the way it was when I put it in," Lu Chen said with a smile, pointing to the ring on his hand.

Dugu Yan looked at the ring on Lu Chen's hand and said enviously, "Your Storage Soul Tool is actually so high-level!"

"Hmph—"

Dugu Bo glanced at the roasted fish with disdain, bit down hard on the cold, hard bun, and thought to himself: Isn't it just a broken Storage Soul Tool? My Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch can store living things!

"I can give you one."

Lu Chen's fingertips flashed with light, and a Silver Pattern Ring appeared in his palm.

Dugu Yan's cheeks flushed faintly, and she twisted the hem of her clothes with her fingers, saying softly, "Really? But the ring—"

"Something's coming!"

Dugu Bo suddenly shouted, grabbed Lu Chen and Dugu Yan with his hands like iron clamps, and with a tap of his toes, he shot up into the sky.

Not far away, two giant trees slowly parted to the sides, and a colossal figure, sky-shading and sun-obscuring, appeared silently from behind the trees.

Lu Chen's pupils contracted sharply, and he exclaimed, "Titan Giant Ape!"

The Titan Giant Ape's entire body was covered in dark fur that shimmered with a faint luster under the dim starlight. Its eyes, as large as lanterns, gleamed with a golden hue.

Its Seven Meter Tall Body was covered in strong muscles more terrifying than granite, bulging like small hillocks.

Yet, such a Huge Fellow made no sound as it walked, not even the Sound of Breathing.

Dugu Bo did not hesitate and immediately led Lu Chen and Dugu Yan to fly swiftly towards the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, his emerald green figure leaving a blur among the tree shadows.

Seeing the targets leave, the Titan Giant Ape roared, exerted its Four Limbs, and chased in Dugu Bo's direction.

"Martial Soul True Body!"

Dugu Bo's seventh soul ring suddenly lit up.

As the emerald green light surged, he transformed into a thirty meter long, water tank thick, emerald green great serpent. With a swing of its snake tail, it carried Lu Chen and Dugu Yan in a frantic escape through the Star Dou Great Forest.

A loud Bull Roar suddenly exploded, and a serpentine giant beast with a bull's head and covered in black-azure scales appeared before Dugu Bo.

A Vast Power struck, and Dugu Yan and Lu Chen were instantly flung out.

"Yan Yan!" Dugu Bo let out a heart-wrenching wail.

Lu Chen forcibly twisted his body in mid-air, his fingertips precisely gripping a Thick Branch, and he pulled Dugu Yan tightly with him.

But the Titan Giant Ape behind them had already caught up. Lu Chen's Corner of the Eye swept past the Titan Giant Ape, and he suddenly glimpsed a trace of pink light on the Titan Giant Ape's shoulder.

Xiao Wu!

Lu Chen's heart trembled, and he made a decision instantly.

He exerted force with his right hand, throwing Dugu Yan forcefully towards Dugu Bo, "Senior Dugu, catch her!"

"Lu Chen!"

Dugu Yan screamed, watching with her own eyes as Lu Chen fell from the air. The next second, the Titan Giant Ape's Giant Palm firmly clutched him.

The Titan Giant Ape roared to the sky, its sound wave impacting Lu Chen like substance, directly knocking him unconscious.

Dugu Bo caught Dugu Yan in the air, looked at Lu Chen with regret, and then cast Medusa's Gaze!

Two pale white beams shot out from the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's now white eyes.

As the Azure Ox Python came into contact with the beams, its colossal body stiffened. Within a few breaths, it broke free from the control.

But in this brief moment, Dugu Bo, carrying the unconscious Dugu Yan, disappeared from the Azure Ox Python's sight.

Da Ming's eyes revealed a hint of disdain, and he murmured, "Cunning humans!"

At this moment, Xiao Wu leaped lightly from the Titan Giant Ape's broad shoulder. Looking at Lu Chen, who was unconscious in Er Ming's palm, she said, "I thought Lu Chen was being held hostage by them. It seems I misunderstood those two."

The Azure Ox Python came to Xiao Wu's side and said, "Sister Xiao Wu, that human is a Title Douluo. Are you really..."

"Da Ming, Er Ming."

Before Da Ming could finish speaking, Xiao Wu interrupted him with a raised hand. Xiao Wu glanced at the unconscious Lu Chen and said, "You don't need to worry about me. I'm living very well in the Human World!"

By the time Lu Chen woke up, it was already noon.

"Lu Chen, you're finally awake!"

Amidst a clear cry, Xiao Wu's tender face came into view.

Lu Chen watched Xiao Wu's worried expression. Although he had guessed what happened, he still pretended to be bewildered and asked, "Why are you here? Didn't the Titan Giant Ape capture me?"

Xiao Wu told Lu Chen the reason she had prepared long ago: "I followed you into the Star Dou Great Forest, but I got lost. Then I heard a bull's roar in the forest. By the time I rushed over, I saw you lying on the ground."

Lu Chen looked at Xiao Wu's full-of-holes excuse and couldn't bear to expose her, putting on an "I see" expression.

Seeing that Lu Chen believed her, a smile appeared on Xiao Wu's face. As expected, a seven-year-old child is easy to fool!

The two then continued to search for soul beasts, each with their own agenda, as Lu Chen's third soul ring was still undecided!

Perhaps it was the trope of surviving a great disaster leading to good fortune, but Lu Chen soon found a suitable soul beast.

It was a Magic Shadow Blood Falcon that had just grown into a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast. Its body was covered in dark purple, metallic-feathered plumage, with blood-colored patterns gleaming along the edges of each feather.

However, this Magic Shadow Blood Falcon was not in good condition. Its body was largely corroded by emerald poison gas, its feathers were falling out, and its wings hung limply on the ground, looking like it was on the verge of death.

Lu Chen looked at the familiar poison gas and thought to himself: Could this be the work of the Poison Douluo?

Lu Chen didn't dwell on why the Magic Shadow Blood Falcon was injured. The Asura Sword appeared in his hand, and he ended the Magic Shadow Blood Falcon's life with a single strike.

A black soul ring slowly landed on Lu Chen.

Two purple soul rings quietly appeared on the Asura Demon Sword, circling and pulsing around the sword body.

"This... How is this possible?"

Xiao Wu's small mouth parted slightly, and she looked at Lu Chen's two purple soul rings with disbelief.

Only then did she realize that Lu Chen's first two soul rings were actually Thousand Year Soul Rings!

The vengeful attack from the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring that Lu Chen had imagined did not appear. Only a stream of pure soul power surged into Lu Chen's body.

The Asura Domain was released, enveloping Xiao Wu and the corpse of the Magic Shadow Blood Falcon.

Within the domain, the Blood Fiend Demonic Tiger and the Emerald Demonic Bird appeared before Xiao Wu.

Soon, something that surprised Xiao Wu happened again. The Magic Shadow Blood Falcon, which had been dead, was actually reborn within the domain...
