The three of them walked along the muddy path towards the Shrek Academy. The early morning fog had not yet dissipated, and cold dewdrops were hanging on the weeds on the roadside. Oupai was walking in front carrying a bulging snack bag and humming a tuneless song, but was pulled behind a tree by Gui Mengguan.
"Don't be so ostentatious." Gui Mengguan lowered his voice and scanned the surrounding alleys with vigilance, "Do you think we are the only ones who know about Luolock? After the fight last night, the entire circle of the Douluo Continent's time travelers exploded. Now I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at the door of Shrek, and there might be people from Cleaners among them."
Oupai curled his lips, but still walked lightly. "I just don't understand, who spread the news about this? All the people present last night were Balak Kingdom's soldiers, people from the Chamber of Commerce, and those local gangsters. How come overnight, even Travelers as far away as Heaven Dou City all know that Luolock is from the Rock Kingdom? Even the details of Gulu Ball being able to take in battle pets and learn magic have been widely spread."
"Who else?" Qian Gujue sneered, twirling the copper coin between his fingertips, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, "There must have been a time traveler mixed in with the crowd last night to watch the fun. Maybe there was more than one. After seeing the excitement, they turned around and sent the message to the messenger groups of various time travellers. Now, everyone knows that Suotuo City dropped a huge pie, and everyone wants to come up and take a bite."
This is no exaggeration at all.
At this moment, the entire Douluo Continent group of time travelers fell into unprecedented madness.
In a teahouse in Heaven Dou City, several young people in civilian clothes gathered around a table, holding the message Soul Tool tightly in their hands. The screen was densely packed with messages about Luolock.
"Rock Kingdom! That's a world with real magic! What kind of fire, water, and grass magic is much stronger than Douluo's broken Martial Soul! If you can learn one and a half moves, what are you afraid of the Spirit Hall?"
"And Gulu Ball! It can capture Soul Beast! It can capture living people! It can even capture Titled Douluo! If you get this thing, you will be invincible!"
"But... I heard that Luolock has a battle pet named Luo Yin next to him, and he can kill Soul Sage with one punch. With our strength, wouldn't we end up dying?"
"What are you afraid of! The bold ones will be starved to death and the timid ones will be starved to death! So many forces have gone, and you can always get some benefits by fishing in troubled waters. If it doesn't work, just grab a Gulu Ball and run away. Who can catch up with us?"
"You're right! Let's go! Go to Suotuo City now! If it's too late, there won't be anything left!"
They hit it off immediately, immediately dropped their money and hurried out of the teahouse.
In another remote town, a young man carrying a long sword looked at the message Soul Tool, hesitated for a long time, and finally shook his head, packed up his things and turned around to leave.
"It's too dangerous. It's not worth risking your life for an uncertain benefit. Cleaners is still killing people everywhere. If you go to Suotuo City now, you are simply throwing yourself into a trap."
There are many time travelers like him who choose to protect themselves wisely, but more people are still dazzled by the huge temptation of Gulu Ball and Rock Kingdom magic. They flock to Suotuo City from all directions, some alone, some in groups, and everyone has their own little calculation.
They all know that exposing the identity of a time traveler may lead to death, they may be targeted by Cleaners, and they may be hacked by other time travelers. But in the face of the temptation that can change their fate, all risks seem insignificant.
"As long as I hide it better, who can know that I am a time traveler?"
"First pretend to be an ordinary Soul Master, get close to Luolock, make him happy, and then lie to him Gulu Ball."
"If it doesn't work, just wait until night to do it. With so many forces mixed together, no one can care about anyone else in the chaos."
All kinds of thoughts swirled in the minds of these time-travelers, and like sharks smelling blood, they continued to gather in the direction of the Shrek Academy.
"I just counted, and we saw at least seven familiar time-travelers along the way." Qian Gujue's voice lowered, "They are all hiding in the dark, not showing up, obviously waiting for an opportunity. And I feel that the people from Cleaners must have come too. They like this kind of chaotic scene the most, and they can fish in troubled waters, while grabbing Gulu Ball, while hunting down our peers."
"That's right." Guimengka nodded with a solemn expression, "The most dangerous thing now is not the indigenous forces, but our own people. The indigenous people don't know the details of the Rock Kingdom. After seeing the strength of Luo Yin, they dare not take action easily. But the time travelers are different. We know the value of Gulu Ball and magic very well. For these things, we will do anything."
"Then what should we do?" Oupai also put away his playful smile and asked nervously, "What if they really start to rob?"
"Let's stick to the original plan first," Gui Mengguan said. "Visit Luolock as an ordinary traveler Soul Master, give him gifts, and make friends with him. Try not to reveal our identities as time travelers, nor our relationship with the Spirit Hall. As long as we can gain Luolock's trust, others will have no chance to take action."
"Besides," he paused, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "If there are really people who are blind and dare to do something under our noses, that's just right. We just use the name of protecting Luolock to get rid of them all. Not only did we sell Luolock a favor, but we can also get rid of some potential threats, killing two birds with one stone."
While they were talking, the three of them had already arrived at the door of the Shrek Academy.
The originally dilapidated courtyard gate had been reduced to rubble by Gallery Iron Beast's punch. At this moment, Gallery Iron Beast and Luo Yin stood on both sides of the ruins, one on the left and one on the right, like two motionless door gods.
The blue eyes on Gallery Iron Beast's fists vigilantly scanned everyone who came near, while Luo Yin folded his arms and closed his eyes to take a nap, but as long as someone dared to step into the door, he would immediately open his cold red eyes.
The three Gui Mengguan stopped and bowed slightly to the two of them. "We are Soul Master who have traveled here. We heard that there is a friend from afar here, so we came here to visit. We have prepared some small gifts, and we hope to spread the word."
Luo Yin didn't even open his eyes, he just snorted impatiently.
Gallery Iron Beast's robotic arm moved slightly, and the blue eyes on its fists scanned the three of them. After confirming that they were not malicious, they slowly withdrew their gaze.
Luolock in the yard heard the noise and immediately ran out with Big-Eared Hood in his arms. Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing also followed behind him. Seeing three strange young people standing at the door, Luolock blinked his eyes and asked curiously, "Who are you? Do you have anything to do with me?"
As soon as Oupai saw Big-Eared Hood in Luolock's arms, his eyes lit up instantly. Just as he was about to rush forward, he was grabbed by Gui Mengguan.
Gui Mengguan took a step forward, with a gentle smile on his face, and bowed slightly to Luolock: "Hello, little friend. We are Soul Master from afar. I heard that you come from a very magical place, and we are very curious, so we came to visit you specially. This is a small gift we brought you, I hope you like it."
As he spoke, he took out the candies, toys and some exquisite self-defense soul tools that he had prepared earlier from the storage soul tool, and handed them over.
Luolock looked at the colorful candies and toys, and his eyes lit up. He took the gift and said happily, "Thank you! Come in and sit down! I will introduce my friends to you!"
With that said, he turned around and skipped into the yard, not forgetting to turn around and greet them, "Hurry up, hurry up! I'll let Kawazhong perform a dance for you!"
Gui Mengguan The three of them looked at each other and smiled, then walked in.
In the woods not far away, a dozen black figures were hiding in the corner, staring at what was happening in the yard.
