Er Ming: I Got Beaten Up by a Human Toddler

Dugu Bo sat opposite them, watching the two devour their food. He picked up his wine gourd, took a swig, and silently calculated the gains from this trip.

With the acquisition of the Second Soul Ring, along with a bonus External Soul Bone, his Soul Power jumped two levels.

The trip to the Star Dou Great Forest has yielded far more than he expected.

"We'll go back first thing tomorrow morning." Dugu Bo put down his wine gourd, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said, "Before those people from Heaven Dou City realize you're gone, to avoid trouble."

Jiang Lan peeked half her face out from behind the roasted pig leg, a piece of charred pig skin stuck to the corner of her mouth. She mumbled an "oh" and then continued to eat with great relish.

Jiang Lan looked at Dugu Bo and said, "Master, I now have a way to resolve the poison in your body, as well as the poison in Sister Yan's body."

Within the Martial Arts Guga, there is knowledge related to medicine.

What surprised Jiang Lan the most was that they also had knowledge of various Poison Arts.

This led Jiang Lan to plan to pass on a portion of her Poison Arts to Dugu Bo Dugu Bo and the others after she cured him.

Because they treated him very well; otherwise, he wouldn't have passed it on to Dugu Bo and the others.

Dugu Bo asked, "Little Guga, what do you need?"

Having spent this time with Jiang Lan, he was almost getting used to Jiang Lan's amazing qualities.

Jiang Lan thought for a moment and said, "We need a lot of herbs."

Dugu Bo subconsciously thought of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and felt he could take Jiang Lan there to see it.

Perhaps this can solve their problem.

Dugu Bo said, "Alright, I'll take you somewhere tomorrow."

After Jiang Lan and Doro had eaten and drunk their fill, they hugged each other, wrapped in Dugu Bo's outer robe, and huddled under a big tree, sleeping like two glutinous rice balls side by side.

Dugu Bo leaned against another tree, closing his eyes to rest. His breathing was steady, but his brows were slightly furrowed, and his mind was still swirling with the thoughts he had had during the day about the Child of Destiny.

In the dead of night, the Star Dou Great Forest was utterly silent.

Then the ground shook, the whole woodland trembled, the leaves rustled, and the pebbles beside the tree roots bounced up.

Doro, who was in Jiang Lan's arms, was jolted off his stomach and rolled twice in the pile of fallen leaves before coming to a stop. His big purple eyes opened blankly, not yet realizing what had happened.

The second tremor followed immediately, even more powerful than the first.

Jiang Lan hit the back of his head on a tree trunk, hissing in pain. He groggily opened his eyes and saw a huge dark shadow running in the moonlight in the distance.

The dark shadow was as large as a moving mountain. Every step it took made the ground vibrate and hum. Trees at its feet were trampled and bent over like grass.

"An earthquake?" Jiang Lan rubbed her eyes, the hood of her Penguin Suit askew, still half-asleep.

Doro recovered faster than him; she saw clearly what the dark figure was.

A giant ape, its jet-black fur gleaming coldly in the moonlight, its shoulders exceeding seven meters high when it ran on all fours, every muscle on its body bulging like granite, and its lantern-sized eyes shimmering with a yellowish luster.

He was Er Ming, the Titan Giant Ape, one of the overlords of the Star Dou Great Forest.

It was clearly not coming for them; it was just on its way.

But its way of traveling was far too unrestrained. Each stride covered more than ten meters, and the ground and stones flew everywhere it landed. Trees along the way were casually pushed aside and snapped under its weight.

Following its current route, it won't directly step onto the campsite, but if it runs a few more steps, it will turn the stream next to them into a mud pit.

Doro's cheeks puffed out.

It was jolted awake from a sweet dream, its Ju Zi- flavored dream interrupted halfway through, and it was incredibly grumpy upon waking.

Doro took two short strides and charged out at a speed completely disproportionate to its round body, blocking the Titan Giant Ape's path. It looked up at the behemoth that was many times larger than itself and let out an angry roar.

"Why are you running around in the middle of the night! You don't sleep, but others do! Don't you have any sense of public decency?! Do you own this forest?!"

The Titan Giant Ape glanced down at the tiny white creature on the ground, no bigger than its toe, and a hint of extremely human-like impatience flashed in its enormous, yellowish-brown eyes.

It raised one of its forepaws, as if clearing away a small pebble blocking its path.

Before Doro could even utter a sound, the whole dumpling was like a white ball that had been kicked away.

It traced an arc in the air, crashed into the trunk of a big tree with a thud, then bounced back and landed on its back in a pile of fallen leaves, belly up, its two short legs still kicking unconsciously a couple of times in the air.

He wasn't injured, but Doro had never suffered such an injustice before, and his large purple eyes instantly filled with tears.

Jiang Lan witnessed this scene, her pupils suddenly contracted, and anger flared in her eyes.

He stood up from the ground, the hood of his penguin onesie slipped off the back of his head, revealing his entire face, which was usually soft and cute but now completely expressionless.

"Second Soul Skill: Martial Arts Guga!"

Jiang Lan's figure vanished from the spot, a crater exploded beneath his feet, and he transformed into a blur that tore through the night, appearing in front of the Titan Giant Ape in no time.

Looking at Er Ming in front of him, Jiang Lan leaped up and easily landed on Er Ming's body, then ran towards Er Ming's head.

Er Ming noticed Jiang Lan on its body, but it didn't take it seriously at all.

Its defense is top-notch among Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Let alone a human child, even a group of powerful individuals surrounding it might not be able to break through its fur in a short time.

Er Ming continued running forward, trying to shake off the small insects on his body.

"Guga-Subduing Eighteen Palms - Guga Has Regrets!"

Jiang Lan slapped out with her right palm.

A huge, semi-transparent golden phantom emerged from the palm strike; it was a giant Little Guga.

The Titan Giant Ape's mountain-like body was sent flying from the spot by this palm strike.

Before it could even let out a scream, the ape, like a giant cannonball launched by a catapult, traced a perfect parabola across the night sky.

It crashed to the ground some distance away with a dull thud.

At this moment, Er Ming was completely dumbfounded.

no?

He was knocked away by a human cub?

In the distance, on the canopy of an ancient tree, Dugu Bo stood on a thick branch, his hand still in a ready-to-strike posture, but his usually sinister face now only showed one expression.

stunned.

When Jiang Lan punched him into the artificial hill, he comforted himself by saying that he had underestimated his opponent.

But the Titan Giant Ape is different; it is the king of the forest and a top-tier Soul Beast. There are few Soul Beast on the continent that can rival it.

Now, this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that once dominated the Star Dou Great Forest is lying in a huge pit.

The person who delivered that blow was a six-year-old child.
