Aha Really Has Some Face

What was going to happen on Amphoreus? What if Stelle had been seriously injured?

Sigh, there seemed to be no good solution for now. He could only do this first.

"Is this Akivili's power?"

Was this really Akivili's power?

Danheng was somewhat doubtful.

Then, as if from nowhere, a piercing laugh seemed to echo through the void.

"Ha ha ha, look what I found?"

"Ha ha ha! Aha's trick has been seen through. Aha really has no face!"

Upon hearing that voice, Danheng felt like dying on the spot.

Oh, right. He was a Vidyadhara. He could not die.

For fuck's sake, of all the Star Gods he could have run into, why did it have to be Aha?!

Now, it seemed he would have to trailblaze whether he wanted to or not.

In a daze, a Smiling Face Mask flickered in and out of view before Danheng, winking at him as it said:

"How about it, Little Azure Dragon? This is your only way home, you know~"

Danheng had never felt such an impulse before.

The impulse to tear the mask before him into pieces!

"Ha ha ha! Little Azure Dragon wants to tear Aha's mask apart. Aha really has no face."

The mask let out another shrill laugh. Danheng remained silent, lost in thought.

"In that case, this mask is yours! Ha ha ha! Trailblaze well~"

The laughter vanished. Looking at the Smiling Face Mask hanging from his waist, Danheng felt a little dead inside as well.

He was a dignified Vidyadhara, a descendant of the Aeon, and he had received Elation's blessing. What was this supposed to mean?

Elsewhere, in the universe.

"Ha ha ha! He actually believed it! Ha ha ha ha!"

"A Nameless protected by the Divine Power Akivili left behind actually believed Aha did this! Ha ha ha! Aha really has some face!"

"Mister Danheng, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Danheng had worn an extremely unpleasant expression ever since earlier, Zhu Zhuqing could not help asking.

"Oh, nothing. I was thinking about something troublesome."

Danheng put away his irritated expression and became the cold-faced "Little Azure Dragon" once more.

Huh? Why did I call myself Little Azure Dragon?

It was all Aha's fault!

"Would a genius like him have troubles too?"

Zhu Zhuqing did not reply, merely pondering silently to herself.

"By the way, after hunting a soul beast, can its corpse be sold for money?"

As they walked, Danheng suddenly thought of this question.

Would people here buy these so-called soul beast corpses?

If they did not, trailblazing would be difficult with him being completely broke!

Aha had trapped him in this place, so he probably had no way of leaving anytime soon.

Did Aha really do it?

After calming down, Danheng's mind began racing once more.

Could it be... that Aha was simply looking for amusement?

Aha had seemingly appeared when he questioned Akivili's power.

Logically speaking, if Aha had truly done this, Aha should have come out to cause trouble when the Carriage Projection had completely solidified and he was about to control the carriage to leave this place.

But that was according to common sense. Aha never played by common sense!

"Forget it. Even without Aha's interference, the train carriage is still my only hope."

Thinking this, Danheng became even more determined to trailblaze across Douluo Continent.

He needed to finish "trailblazing" it quickly so he could return to the Astral Express Crew!

"Of course they can be sold. And the older the soul beast, the higher its price."

Zhu Zhuqing suddenly spoke, bringing Danheng's thoughts back to reality.

"Is that so?"

"Then can you tell how old this wolf was as a soul beast?"

As if performing a magic trick, Danheng made the corpse of a giant wolf appear out of thin air before them. Its enormous weight stirred up clouds of dust when it hit the ground.

"Cough, cough... It's... so big."

Zhu Zhuqing coughed a few times, wondering what kind of storage Soul Tool could hold something this large.

When she raised her head and saw the enormous corpse, she stared blankly for quite a while before finally snapping out of it when Danheng called to her softly.

"Miss Zhu, do you recognize this wolf?"

Danheng's casual words placed immense pressure on Zhu Zhuqing.

What the hell, a seventy-thousand-year Moonshadow Direwolf had been slaughtered by this guy?

Even a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse would not find it easy to deal with a seventy-thousand-year soul beast, would they?

Much less a troublesome soul beast like a Moonshadow Direwolf!

"This soul beast's abilities were rather unusual. I believe I encountered it in the depths of this forest."

"It was nighttime then. It could merge its body into shadows and continuously draw upon moonlight to fight. I injured it, then happened to encounter it again later, and only then did I kill it."

Danheng spread his hands. In a direct confrontation, the wolf had been no match for him. After taking three strikes from Cloud Piercer, it had already been at death's door. He had not even needed to use the Dragon Lord's power.

However, it had been midnight when he encountered the wolf. Just as he was about to deliver the fatal blow, it had turned into a pool of darkness and slipped into the surrounding shadows.

Since the wolf posed no threat to him and Danheng still needed to find humans, he had ignored it at the time.

Yet the creature had become persistent. An hour later, it had caught up to Danheng again. As for what happened to it...

It took another three spear strikes and obediently went off to nurse its wounds.

"You're saying this seventy-thousand-year Moonshadow Direwolf was done for after taking three strikes from you?"

After hearing Danheng's account, a stormy sea surged within Zhu Zhuqing's heart.

Three strikes to cripple a seventy-thousand-year soul beast. Mister Danheng was truly someone extraordinary.

However, if those familiar with Danheng heard this, they would probably say:

For that Moonshadow Direwolf to survive three strikes from Danheng, it truly deserved to be called the Wolf King!

"Seventy thousand years?"

Danheng's expression shifted slightly. With strength like that, it was already seventy thousand years old?

If the Moonshadow Direwolf's abilities had not been so unusual, he would have probably stabbed it to death the first time they met!

Could it be that soul beasts underwent a tremendous leap in strength after reaching one hundred thousand years?

That was probably it.

"So, would anyone buy this soul beast?"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded rapidly.

"Definitely. But for a seventy-thousand-year soul beast like this, only Heaven Dou City probably has people who can afford it."

They were already within the Heaven Dou Empire, so Zhu Zhuqing naturally considered cities within the Heaven Dou Empire first.

"Then where are you headed? If it isn't on the way, I'll take you there first. Heaven Dou City can wait until later."

Zhu Zhuqing had helped him understand this continent, which had allowed him to discover the secret of the Carriage Projection. By both sentiment and reason, he should accompany her for part of the way.

"Wouldn't that trouble you too much, Senior Danheng?"

Without realizing it, Zhu Zhuqing had begun addressing Danheng as "Senior."

Come on, he had crippled a seventy-thousand-year soul beast with three strikes. Even if someone said Danheng was a Titled Douluo, Zhu Zhuqing would not doubt it in the slightest!

"No. It will also give me a chance to learn more about this continent."

"Zhuqing will definitely serve as Senior's guide!"

When Zhu Zhuqing said this, her gaze was obviously somewhat unnatural. Her hands kept rubbing together before her, and her chin had nearly lowered to her chest.

Danheng did not pay much attention to this and simply continued onward with Zhu Zhuqing.

Several days later, when the two arrived at a city, Danheng suddenly remembered something at the city gate.

That seventy-thousand-year Moonshadow Direwolf seemed to have dropped a bone too?
