Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing heard the noise too, their little heads filling with big question marks.
"What do you mean, 'are they yelling or not' and 'are they excited or not'? What the hell are they doing?"
When the three of them parted the bushes and looked toward the camp, their hurried steps came to an abrupt halt.
⊙ω⊙ "What's going on? Why are there suddenly so many people? Was the camp attacked?"
"Then why aren't they capturing the Shrek people to trade for points?"
Hu Liena was baffled.
Huo Yuhao had no idea what grudge Xiao Chenghe held against him, either. The moment he poked his head out, Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes Martial Soul spotted him.
He shouted, "Big brother, big brother, stop fighting! The brothers of Luo Yihe you're looking for—and his girlfriend—are back!"
"What?"
The group had been lounging around, but at Huo Yuhao's shout, they all started looking around.
The one called Brother Tian ran over in a flash and slapped Huo Yuhao across the face. "What the fuck are you shouting about?"
Huo Yuhao felt his cheek burn. His eyes turned red as he glared at the man before him. He, the mighty God King Huo, swore he'd grind the man's bones to dust one day.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao didn't answer and was glaring at him viciously, Brother Tian snatched the whip from the person beside him and swung it. "Are you gonna talk or not?"
Whack~
The whip lashed mercilessly across Huo Yuhao's face.
A welt appeared on his cheek. He gritted his teeth, then suddenly roared, "You've got the guts, kill me! I'm not telling you where Luo Yihe is! What the fuck can you do to me?"
Everyone was stunned by Huo Yuhao's roar.
The Shrek group: "Badass!"
The faces of the Spirit Hall Academy first team turned dark.
Four of them released their Martial Souls and stepped out of the group, each holding a wet leather whip. They surrounded Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao: "..."
-｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡
Huo Yuhao swallowed and cautiously said, "I'll talk. I was just bluffing. Do you believe me?"
"Believe your ass! Get him, boys!"
Clatter~
Whap, whap, whap~
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, standing beside him, couldn't bear to keep their eyes open.
"Stop!"
Huo Yuhao shouted.
"Hmph, weren't you supposed to be tough? It's not even been a minute, and your backbone's already broken?"
Xiao Tian looked down on him. He'd thought he'd met a tough guy, but in less than a minute, the beating had nearly knocked the life out of Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao's face was swollen and bruised as he looked at Xiao Tian and begged, "B-big brother, stop hitting me. I really know I was wrong. I'll activate my Martial Soul right now and tell you where Xiao Chenghe and the others are."
As he spoke, not giving them a chance to hit him again, two Yellow Soul Rings appeared beneath his feet and began to shine.
"First Soul Skill, Sharing! It lets me share my vision with my teammates."
"Second Soul Skill, Detection! It can detect heat sources within a hundred meters."
Huo Yuhao used his Sharing Soul Skill on the four men who had whipped him. "Big brothers, take a look. Besides you, there are four extra heat sources. That means there are four more people within a hundred meters."
"Four people? Xiao Chenghe, Zhu Zhuqing, and Hu Liena?"
"Holy shit! Big brother, the Luo Yihe you're looking for is hiding nearby. Just chase the heat source and you'll catch him for sure."
Xiao Tian led the way toward the lone heat source, while the rest chased after the three heat sources clustered together.
An axe appeared in Xiao Tian's hand. Grinning savagely, he brought it down on the heat source he sensed.
Rumble~
"Huh? No one?"
Branches snapped and plants were torn apart, but Luo Yihe wasn't there. But... there was a table inside, with half a watermelon that had been cut open on it. Someone had clearly been here moments ago, and had even been eating watermelon the whole time, watching them perform like monkeys.
Xiao Tian roared, ꐦ⁰益⁰ꐦ "Luo, get your ass out here! Otherwise, I'll torture them one by one and then let them all go. They'll be your sworn enemies for the rest of your life, and it'll all be because you made me torture them. Just you wait!"
With that, he started toward the Shrek group.
The Shrek group: "..."
Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
"D-don't, big brother! Calm down. We already hate Luo Yihe. Even if you beat us to death, that heartless bastard wouldn't spare us a glance."
"Exactly, big brother, calm down. We're all sworn enemies with Luo Yihe. Let us go, and we'll help you hunt him down."
For the first time, the Shrek group showed unprecedented unity without Yu Xiaogang having to move a stone.
Luo Yihe, hiding in a tree a hundred and fifty meters away, was speechless too. How had these people turned out like this? Who had dragged the whole Douluo Continent so far off course?
And this passerby actually knew how to think? Wasn't the average IQ in the Douluo Continent supposed to be below zero? A highly educated genius like me, who could recite the multiplication table, should be a rare find!!!
On the other side, Xiao Chenghe felt pressure bearing down on him from all directions. More than ten people had surrounded him, and even the weakest among them was a three-ring Soul Elder.
Xiao Chenghe suddenly felt like the protagonist Luo-ge had described, standing alone against three thousand gods and demons. The gap was pretty big, but in Xiao Chenghe's eyes, he didn't feel much weaker than that protagonist who could fight three thousand gods and demons alone.
Xiao Chenghe said arrogantly, "Though foes surround me on every side, my proud spirit will never break. Thunder in my hand shall destroy every petty villain."
When he finished speaking, dark clouds gathered in the sky within five meters of him. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled! A storm was coming.
"This!"
"Are we even using the same Martial Soul? Why does his entrance come with special effects?"
The higher-ups of Spirit Hall, who had been watching the scene, were all astonished.
Xiao Chenghe sneered. "A bunch of cowards. Come at me together! That'll save me the trouble of taking you on one by one—"
He suddenly choked off halfway through.
Oh no!
He'd used up his strength showing off, and couldn't hold back the flood caused by those poisonous mushrooms.
(°ー°〃) I should've eaten one of Oscar's Detox Sausages. I'd finally pulled off an epic show of strength, but now it looked like I was about to drop an epic load.
Xiao Chenghe's face turned bright red.
Zhu Zhuqing, Hu Liena, and the people from the Spirit Hall Academy first team all looked utterly confused—
"What's going on? Surely he's not about to shit?"
A bespectacled young man said gravely, "I wasn't sure before, but looking at Xiao Chenghe's expression now... it seems he has an enormous, ultimate move that needs to be charged up!"
"Th-then what do we do? Should we interrupt him?"
The bespectacled young man shot him an annoyed look. "Interrupt him? How? There's lightning all around that kid. We can't even get our Soul Skills through. If we go close, won't we get fried first?"
