The Dragon and Snake Give Chase, Shrek's Internal Strife, the Titan Giant Ape Appears Under the Moon!

"Stop right there, you thief!!!"

Zhao Wuji carried Ma Hongjun on his shoulder and led the Shrek group in a frantic run for over ten minutes, thinking they had already put Dragon Duke far behind them.

Who would have thought that an angry roar would ring out, followed by a terrifying pressure far surpassing that of a Soul Saint, crushing down upon them!

Dai Mubai, Tang San, and the others instantly felt their bodies grow heavy. Their steps stalled, and they could not move forward even half a step.

Zhao Wuji's expression changed drastically. Turning back, he saw that Dragon Duke and Snake Granny had caught up. They were moving so fast that they were now less than three or four hundred meters away!

"Damn! That old woman found help way too fast!"

Zhao Wuji knew they could not escape. The only option now was to find a way to hold the Dragon and Snake couple off.

With his strength, he should have been able to escape himself. But if these children were lost here, Flender would probably go insane.

Zhao Wuji gritted his teeth. He would stake everything on this!

He threw Ma Hongjun toward Dai Mubai and shouted, "Mubai, take the others and leave! I'll hold that couple back!"

Dai Mubai caught Ma Hongjun and felt as though he had caught a huge fat pig.

He was really heavy!

But this was no time to worry about that. Seeing Zhao Wuji about to intercept the Peerless Dragon and Snake alone, Dai Mubai suppressed the worry in his heart and shouted at Ning Rongrong.

"Ning Rongrong!"

However, Ning Rongrong did not summon the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda for a long while.

Not only did she show no fear at being pursued by the Peerless Dragon and Snake, she even watched the anxious Dai Mubai with amused interest. She could not have felt more pleased.

Who was she, Ning Rongrong?

She was the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, born into nobility, adored by two Titled Douluo grandfathers, with one of the Upper Three Sects standing behind her. Even if Dragon Duke and Snake Granny had ten times the courage, they would not dare touch her.

Yet at Shrek Academy, she had suffered the greatest humiliation of her life.

First, Flender had belittled her until she was worth less than nothing. Then Dai Mubai had threatened to rape her first, kill her afterward, then rape and kill her again!

Yes, she, Ning Rongrong, was a little spoiled and willful.

But compared to this bunch from Shrek, she was as pure as a blank sheet of paper.

Hmph! After threatening this young lady like that, you still want me to buff you? Keep dreaming!

Ning Rongrong snorted inwardly. She had no intention of caring whether Dai Mubai lived or died. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared in her palm, and her second Soul Ring lit up.

"Seven Treasures turn forth with glazed light. Seven Treasures have a name: second, Speed!"

Two streams of glazed light shot out from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and landed on her and Zhu Zhuqing.

Ning Rongrong shouted to Zhu Zhuqing, "Zhuqing, let's go!"

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Dai Mubai, then at the rapidly approaching Dragon and Snake couple. She bit her silver teeth, no longer hesitated, and decisively retreated with Ning Rongrong.

Seeing Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing abandon them and flee on their own, Dai Mubai and the others were furious.

"Fuck! Those two bitches actually ran off first!"

"That dead fatty is so heavy! Why is he still asleep?!"

"Mubai, get out of here! Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!"

Seeing the Dragon and Snake couple getting closer and closer, Zhao Wuji roared.

The seventh Soul Ring circling his body suddenly lit up. His short, sturdy body instantly swelled, and brown fur like steel needles grew wildly. In the blink of an eye, he transformed from a man into a Mighty Vajra Bear over three meters tall.

The Mighty Vajra Bear threw back its head and roared. A primal aura spread through the air as it leaped from the ground, swinging its fan-sized bear paw toward the Dragon and Snake couple!

"First Soul Skill, Mighty Vajra Palm!"

Brilliant golden light bloomed from the bear paw. Its force was immense, making the air tremble. The palm force was so fierce that even the surrounding trees bowed beneath it!

"Bold! Today, this old man will see what waves a mere Soul Saint can stir up!"

Seeing Zhao Wuji immediately use his Martial Soul Avatar and attempt to clash head-on, Dragon Duke and Snake Granny raised their dragon-serpent crutches together. Light flashed as they jointly smashed them toward Zhao Wuji!

Boom!!!

A thunderous explosion echoed through the forest. Ripples surged through the air, and countless rocks and trees were overturned and uprooted by the shockwave of the collision.

Taking advantage of Zhao Wuji holding back the Dragon and Snake couple, Dai Mubai and the others did not dare look back. They scattered and ran with all their might, terrified that any delay would betray Zhao Wuji's sacrifice!

At the same time, Meng Chen, dozens of li away, also heard a faint disturbance.

He turned toward the direction where the Dragon and Snake were battling the Vajra Bear, lost in thought.

"Even after I interfered like this, Tang San probably can't obtain the Eight Spider Lances anymore, right?"

"Sigh... I've been walking for so long, yet I haven't found a single lightning-attribute Soul Beast. Where are they all hiding?"

Meng Chen kicked aside a rock blocking his path. He had been in the forest for so long, yet he had not encountered a single one!

Was his luck truly that bad, or was someone targeting him?

"Aunt Ye, did you find anything?" Meng Chen asked Ye Xishui.

Ye Xishui appeared to Meng Chen's left and shook her head. "I found quite a few thousand-year lightning-attribute Soul Beasts, but I haven't seen any ten-thousand-year ones."

"Looks like we still have to enter the inner region." Meng Chen sighed helplessly.

Although the Star Dou Great Forest had abundant Soul Beast resources, ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts all lived in the inner region. They were rarely found in the outer region.

Meng Chen continued toward the inner region.

Time flew by, and evening gradually fell. The sun set into the dusk.

Within the forest's inner region, without the sun's light, everything appeared especially gloomy. Ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts were everywhere, and danger lurked in every corner. Even Titled Douluo would not dare spend the night here.

But Meng Chen dared. Not to mention that Ye Xishui was protecting him, the Sky Azure Bull Python scale Xiao Wu had given him alone was enough to intimidate many ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts.

A campfire burned brightly, its warm glow illuminating Meng Chen's face. He was handsome, with traces of youthful immaturity, yet his eyes held a maturity far beyond his age.

As he ate a meat pie, Meng Chen occasionally looked toward the Star Dou Core Area, curiosity in his eyes.

"Little fellow, what are you thinking about?"

Ye Xishui sat down in front of Meng Chen. Seeing his thoughtful expression, she asked gently.

Meng Chen finished the meat pie in a few bites. After taking a drink of water, he pointed toward the core area and asked Ye Xishui in return.

"Aunt Ye, can you defeat Di Tian?"

"The Beast God Di Tian? If my Death God Tower still existed, perhaps I could give it a try. But since you won't let me rebuild the Death God Tower, with my Soul Power cultivation alone, I'm no match for Di Tian."

Ye Xishui gave Meng Chen a resentful look.

She had originally wanted to rebuild the Death God Tower in this world, but Meng Chen had said that the tower required hundreds of thousands of wronged souls to be constructed. If she truly slaughtered that many people, Qian Daoliu would certainly set his sights on her.

Then not only would the Death God Tower remain unfinished, she herself would be melted away like butter first.

Seeing Ye Xishui so fixated on the Death God Tower, Meng Chen smiled.

"Aunt Ye, the Death God Tower can be built, but it can't be built openly. As for wronged souls, there's definitely one place where we can gather enough, and you won't even need to do it yourself."

"Oh? Where?" Ye Xishui pressed.

"Slaughter City."

Meng Chen spoke the place name. Ye Xishui thought back and vaguely recalled something.

According to the history of Douluo Continent, it was a filthy place where Evil Soul Masters from across Douluo Continent had gathered. It was later destroyed by Sea God Tang San, who also killed the Evil Soul Master leader known as the King of Slaughter. From then on, the Evil Soul Masters of Douluo Continent vanished without a trace, and Douluo Continent entered an age of peace.

After Ye Xishui recounted this historical record, Meng Chen burst out laughing.

"Pfft, hahahaha... Seriously? They can even whitewash it like that? As expected, history is written by the victors!"

"Then what was the real history—"

Ye Xishui had only just begun speaking when a deafening roar suddenly erupted.

The ground shook, and the trees swayed. Under the moonlight, an enormous, mountain-like, powerfully built figure came charging toward them!
