After leaving the Core Circle of Star Dou Forest, Meng Chen told the Titan Giant Ape to go back first.

He can walk the rest of the way alone, and the Titan Giant Ape has done so much for him; it needs rest too.

Perhaps due to the absence of powerful Soul Beast, the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest is filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, and even the sunlight is a bright and gentle warm golden color.

For Meng Chen, who had just come from the dark and treacherous place of Thunder Marsh, this was simply paradise.

In this paradise, there seems to be no sorrow, no danger, only comfort and relaxation...

"Roar!"

"Ah! Help!"

Suddenly, a wild beast's roar and a woman's scream rang out, which Meng Chen found extremely disruptive.

What the hell? Don't they know I'm enjoying myself?

Meng Chen frowned slightly and instinctively concealed his presence as he moved stealthily toward the direction from which the sound came.

When he arrived at the destination, the scene before him made him frown even more.

In a clearing in the woods, there were large craters everywhere. The once lush green grass was now a mess from the bombing, and there was blood everywhere.

In the center of the open space, a group of girls dressed in ice-blue dresses were standing back to back.

Their clothes were stained with mud, weeds, and leaves; several of them had disheveled hair, and their faces mostly showed a mixture of fear and panic, clearly indicating that they had gone through a fierce battle.

In the center of the circle formed by the girls, lay a motionless person.

It was a middle-aged woman with a huge laceration on her abdomen, seemingly caused by some animal. Her entire upper body was soaked in blood. She collapsed to the ground, severely injured and barely breathing.

This situation was caused by the hundreds of Ghost Wolf Soul Beast surrounding them.

Their fur is grayish-brown, their eyes gleam with a ghostly green light, each one is almost the size of a calf, with long and sturdy limbs, blunt claws, and their mouths are half-open, revealing sharp canine teeth. Several of them still have traces of blood on their mouths.

"Sister Bing'er... what should we do..." a girl said, trembling. "Teacher, she... teacher..."

Hearing the girl's words, a girl with loose, wavy hair in the circle gritted her teeth and said, "Hold on! Don't let your guard down! Remember to call for help!"

The girl with wavy hair was clearly an elegant beauty. Her skin was fair and delicate, and her temperament was as pure as ice and snow. What was even more remarkable was that even when she was in danger, she showed no sign of panic or fear, only a solemn expression.

Her eyes were rapidly scanning the pack of wolves, trying to find an opening she could exploit.

Shui Bing'er, Shui Bing'er, you must think of a solution quickly, or they will be devoured by wolves!

The girl with her long, wavy hair said this to herself.

But these Ghost Wolf were clearly good at cooperating, constantly circling around Shui Bing'er and the others without showing the slightest flaw. They even turned around and monitored Shui Bing'er and the others, waiting for them to relax their Shui Bing'er.

At first, these Ghost Wolf weren't so cautious, but after Shui Bing'er and her group's leader killed many of their companions, and although they also seriously injured the Soul Emperor, they had to become more careful and dared not underestimate these two-legged beasts anymore.

"Sister Bing'er, they... they're waiting for us..."

Fear spread through everyone's hearts, and another girl's voice trembled as she felt her sanity was about to collapse.

Shui Bing'er did not answer, because the alpha wolf of the pack had its eyes on her.

Clearly, the two girls who had both lost their composure were looking at her, which led the alpha wolf to conclude that she was the leader of these two-legged creatures.

Such a gaze forced Shui Bing'er to concentrate fully, because if the wolves started attacking later, she would definitely be the first to be hit.

To catch the thief, first catch the king; even Soul Beast understand this principle.

But this put Shui Bing'er under tremendous pressure.

She could feel her body sweating profusely and her heart beating faster and faster, but on the surface she had to maintain a calm and composed demeanor.

Shui Bing'er could withstand the pressure, but behind her, a girl couldn't help but cry!

"Oops!"

Shui Bing'er had a bad feeling.

The alpha wolf keenly sensed that its prey was on the verge of emotional collapse. It immediately let out a long howl, and a giant wolf the size of a calf beside it immediately activated its Soul Power, its body shining with purple light, and its body shot towards Shui Bing'er like an arrow!

The giant wolf opened its blood-red maw, revealing its sharp, fangs.

The alpha wolf stared intently at Shui Bing'er, its goal clear: to test the leader of the two-legged beasts.

If Shui Bing'er can't withstand this attack, then what follows will be a feast for the wolves.

"Sister Bing'er!"

Several exclamations rang out simultaneously.

Shui Bing'er gritted her teeth, releasing icy blue Soul Power from her Soul Ring, preparing to freeze the giant wolf.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, a thick vine covered in silvery-white lightning suddenly appeared, precisely Entanglement around the waist of the wolf that was about to tear Shui Bing'er apart with all its might, and then tightened sharply, releasing lightning!

"Crack!"

"Aww!"

The giant wolf was immediately struck by the electric shock and howled incessantly, its pupils dilated and it lost control of its bladder and bowels. Then, with a sudden burst of force from the vines, the entangled wolf was violently launched away, smashing several wolves to death with a loud crash.

The sudden turn of events immediately caught the attention of Shui Bing'er and the others, and the girl who had been crying burst into laughter.

Has someone come to rescue them?

"Awooo!!!"

The alpha wolf howled, and immediately hundreds of wolves split off to stare at the nearby bushes, baring their teeth and howling, seemingly trying to force the person in the shadows out.

Now that the decision to save them has been made, there's no need to keep it hidden any longer.

The bushes slowly parted, and Meng Chen emerged from them, unhurried and composed.

The brilliant, golden sunlight shone down, reflecting a dark gold color in Meng Chen's pupils, and his white skin shone with a diamond-like brilliance, as if a god had descended.

So handsome.

The girls stared in disbelief, their hearts filled with wonder.

Apart from Shui Bing'er.

She noticed that a pack of wolves was lurking behind Meng Chen, clearly intending to deliver a heavy blow to the back of his neck while the two-legged giant was showing off.

With their forelimbs bent and bodies lowered, hundreds of Ghost Wolf glowed with the light of their Soul Power.

"Watch out!"

Shui Bing'er spoke up to remind her.

"Bang!"

The attack of dozens of wolves created a huge noise, but Meng Chen didn't even look at it. A flash of lightning appeared in his right hand, Thunder Hell Vine Whip appeared in his hand. He turned around and swept it horizontally.

The Thunder Hell Vine Whip, originally five meters long, suddenly grew to tens of meters, carrying violent lightning energy. Everything struck by the whip, whether Soul Beast or trees, was neatly severed, with the cuts showing reddish-black charred marks, as if it had been cut by laser.

Such power!

But what shocked Shui Bing'er and the others even more was Meng Chen's Soul Ring, which they only noticed at this moment.

Two purples, three blacks, and one red!

This poet?

Shui Bing'er and the others felt their heads buzzing. If they remembered correctly, purple was Millennium Soul Ring, black was ten-thousand-year, and red...

I must have been blinded by this man's handsomeness.
