"Yo-Yo," Kraken's voice sounded calmly, interrupting the bald man who was looking in the distance in the direction of Shrek City and shivering at the dozens of powerful auras rising into the sky. "You stay here first, find a place to hide yourself, collect your aura, and wait for me to come back."

Yo-Yo turned his head suddenly with fear in his eyes. "Boss, boss! You let me stay here alone?! There are hundreds of Titled Douluo gathering around here! There are also those Soul Tool things flying around in the sky!

If I were discovered, my turtle body... Bah, my body would be peeled off, my muscles cramped, and stewed in soup?!" He was incoherent, so frightened that he almost revealed his true form and found a crack in the ground to crawl in.

"It's not that easy to be discovered. As long as you don't take the initiative to release your breath, don't provoke them, and hide in this barren mountain, no one will come to search." Kraken was unmoved and said in an indifferent tone, "Besides, I am very fast."

"Soon? Boss, what are you going to do?" Yo-Yo was even more panicked. He always felt that the "soon" the boss said might be about to do something more dangerous than letting him stay here.

"Go and deal with some small things." Kraken's ice blue eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze seemed to be looking further south, which is the vast territory of the Star Luo Empire. "Since Shrek has summoned about sixty Titled Douluo, The remaining ones who did not come naturally have their reasons. They are either guarding their homeland, or in retreat, or... they have other ideas. Among them, there are a few in the Star Luo Empire who neither responded to the call of Shrek nor are they completely isolated from the world."

Yo-Yo seems to have heard something, but is not sure. "Boss, what do you mean..."

"It means," the corner of Kraken's mouth curved with no warmth, "I'm going to 'visit' these unsociable Titled Douluo, and 'ask' them to leave the stage. By the way, I'll 'receive' the wealth and resources accumulated by their family or sect. After all, the cost of maintaining the deep sea is not small."

"Then, boss, be careful..." Yo-Yo said dryly, not knowing whether to worry about the boss or to sympathize with those Titled Douluo who were about to be unlucky.

"Yeah." Kraken responded and was about to turn around when he suddenly stopped again and glanced sideways at Yo-Yo. His eyes seemed to look through him and towards the direction where Shrek Allied Forces was gathering. There was a hint of solemnity in his tone:

"In addition, before I come back, you should secretly keep an eye on Nine Heart Begonia and Ye Shuhua. Don't get too close or expose her. Just watch her from a distance. If... she encounters any fatal danger, you can try to help her if you can ensure that you are not exposed."

"Ah? Protect... Ye Shuhua?" Yo-Yo was stunned and couldn't keep up with the boss's thoughts. Just now he said he was going to kill people and buy goods, and then he was asked to protect a human healing system Soul Master? Which song is this song from? "Boss, she, she is useful to us?"

"She is still useful to me for the time being." Kraken did not explain the specific use, but simply repeated it again, with a tone that left no room for doubt. "Remember, it is 'pay attention in secret' and 'try not to expose it.' If something cannot be done, take self-preservation as the first priority. Do you understand?"

Although he was full of doubts, Yo-Yo obeyed Kraken's orders instinctively, and nodded quickly. "Ming, I understand, boss! Watch in secret, don't expose yourself, save quietly if you can, and run away if you can't! Make sure to complete the mission!"

"Yeah." Kraken took one last look at this turtle subordinate who was timid but still obedient, and said no more. The figure in gray robe was like an ink stain dissolved in water, quietly fading and disappearing into the shadow of the cliff.

Yo-Yo stood there, stunned for a while, then scratched the back of his bare head and muttered:

"Boss... what are you doing? Killing people and setting fires while asking me to secretly protect people... This job is too difficult... Ye Shuhua... Nine Heart Begonia... I think I've heard that she can heal injuries... Does the boss want to capture her to be his own doctor in the future? But the boss seems to have swallowed his own injuries..."

He was puzzled, but he didn't dare to disobey. He looked around and found a rock crevice that was backed by a cliff and had dense vegetation and was relatively hidden. He clumsily stuffed his burly body into it, leaving only a faint breath.

His body shape looked a bit funny in the rock crevice, but he curled up hard, widened his eyes, and observed the surroundings vigilantly. At the same time, he focused part of his mind on trying to lock in the soft breath full of vitality that belonged to Ye Shuhua.

"Hey, boss, please come back quickly... This place is so scary..."

Just when Yo-Yo started to carry out the "stalking" mission in fear, the figure of Kraken, just like Gui Mei, appeared quietly in the south of the Star Luo Empire, a deserted and dangerous place called "Red Ridge Mountains".

His Mental Power is like the invisible Spider Web, which has already covered this area and accurately locked the target - a level 92 solo Titled Douluo, Spirit Empire is a rare "Magma Earth Dragon" with a violent and lonely personality. He lives in seclusion deep in this mountain range all year round. With the help of earth fire cultivation, he has accumulated a lot of earth fire essence, rare metals and Soul Beast materials in his cave.

Kraken did not choose to attack. Like the most patient hunter, he waited quietly. Until the Titled Douluo finished Deep Meditation, he was the most relaxed and prepared to leave the cave to absorb the earth fire--

A gray shadow appeared behind him as if teleporting. A Scorpion Tail Arm covered with a gray carapace and with a hook at the end, like the deadliest snake, pierced the back of his heart accurately and swiftly! The terrifying power of Devouring exploded instantly, not only frantically extracting his Soul Power and life essence!

"Uh... evil...Soul Master..." This was the last thought that flashed through Magma Earth Dragon Douluo's mind. He didn't even see the attacker clearly and didn't have time. When any Soul Skill is stimulated, the huge body will quickly wither. Origin, who has a level 92 cultivation level and earth and fire attributes, turns into the purest nutrients and pours into Kraken's body.

Kraken withdrew Scorpion Tail Arm expressionlessly, skillfully cleaning up the traces on the scene that might point to the deep sea ability, and then imitated several relatively rare Evil Soul Master Soul Skill residual fluctuations that he had studied, and created some damage and search traces in the cave that were consistent with the characteristics of "Evil Soul Master plunder", and "took" the most valuable resources.

After doing all this, his figure disappeared again.

Within a few days, similar "accidents" occurred one after another in different locations within the Star Luo Empire. A level 91 "Iron Wall War Bear" Douluo guarding the border fortress was silently dragged into the shadows and sucked into a mummy during night patrol, leaving a strong atmosphere of darkness and corrosion at the scene.

A sect famous for its forging, with ninety-three level "Blazing Flame Hammer" Douluo, was attacked by "Evil Soul Master" overnight. The sect leader and several elders died mysteriously and died miserably. The sect's treasures were looted, and the chaotic Evil Soul Master energy residue was also left on the scene...

Kraken, he specifically targets those Titled Douluos whose strength is between level 91 and 93, who are relatively isolated and have never joined Shrek Allied Forces. Every attack is clean and neat, and the scene is disguised as the typical characteristics of Evil Soul Master's crimes. He leaves as soon as he succeeds and never stays in the same area for too long.

In just a few days, four Titled Douluos died mysteriously in the Star Luo Empire territory, and their forces were "robbed" to varying degrees. The news spread, Star Luo Empire government and the public were shaken, everyone was in danger, and the fear and resentment of "Evil Soul Master" reached its peak.

At the same time, they were also dissatisfied with the failure of the Empire and Shrek Academy to effectively protect them. Dai Sen was in dire straits and had to allocate more forces for internal cleanup and protection. The support for border confrontation Sun-Moon Empire was invisibly weakened.

As for Shrek Allied Forces, they also quickly received relevant information. Dean Feng Yun, Ning Deyang and others looked at the descriptions of " The urgent report of "Evil Soul Master is rampant, cruel, and suspected of being an organized operation" made me frown. The activity of this group of "Evil Soul Master" undoubtedly distracted the energy of the coalition forces and added more variables to the already tense situation.

"It seems that before dealing with the Sun-Moon Empire, we need to spend some effort to clean up these rats hiding in the dark." Dean Feng Yun said in a deep voice, with fire looming in his eyes.
