Chapter 265: Zhu Zhuqing is Hunted
The Emerald Dragon Snake left joyfully, leaving Dugu Feng alone to walk through the Star Dou Great Forest.
He did not fly, but proceeded on foot.
As he walked, the Asura Domain naturally activated. Centered on Dugu Feng's body, it was released within a radius of fifty meters.
It allowed him to perceive movements in his surroundings.
Now possessing the strength of a Soul Emperor, he was gradually stepping into the ranks of high-level Soul Masters, and he was also a master of poison.
There were already very few Soul Beasts that could threaten him.
As the power of Asura spread, the surrounding Soul Beasts were too terrified to move.
In their minds, it was as if the thunder of slaughter judging their fate had appeared; these Soul Beasts didn't even have the courage to flee.
This was the might of Dugu Feng's Asura Domain.
Combined with the qualitative change in his body and that faint trace of divine temperament, Dugu Feng walked in the Star Dou Great Forest like a deity descended to earth inspecting his own territory.
He continued to walk deeper into the forest.
As he walked, Dugu Feng restrained his aura somewhat, becoming a bystander of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The slaughter between Soul Beasts, the predation of the food chain, and Soul Masters hunting for Soul Rings.
Scene after scene played out.
Dugu Feng intentionally hid himself; no Soul Beast or Soul Master could discover him. Watching these cruel slaughters, his mind became much calmer.
The schemes, cruelty, and bloodiness of the Soul Beast world lost nothing to humans; the insidiousness of some Soul Beasts even surpassed that of human Soul Masters.
Before long, Dugu Feng encountered a three-thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider.
Although it was just a small "mosquito leg" of a gain, Dugu Feng still directly devoured this Man-Faced Demon Spider with his Eight Spider Lances.
Just like this, Dugu Feng traveled in the Star Dou Great Forest for half a month.
He took action three times, devouring one Man-Faced Demon Spider, one Nine-Heaven Centipede, and one Jade Phosphor Serpent.
He didn't deliberately search for them; when he encountered them, he naturally took them down in passing.
On this day, Dugu Feng suddenly discovered that a pellet [likely referring to a soul signature/aura] was entering deep into the Star Dou Great Forest.
Upon careful sensing, he discovered it was Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing's speed was very fast, not a normal walking pace at all; she seemed to be fleeing from something.
Dugu Feng extended his senses over.
He quickly discovered the reason.
Indeed, someone was hunting her.
No, it wasn't exactly hunting, but rather a cat playing with a mouse.
It should be for the purpose of capturing Zhu Zhuqing alive.
Dugu Feng discovered an acquaintance dozens of miles behind Zhu Zhuqing: Dai Tianqing.
It was the leader of the Star Luo Empire team from the last Soul Master Competition.
It seemed the Star Luo Imperial Family had made their move.
They wanted to capture Zhu Zhuqing and bring her back.
It made sense; the Crown Princess was lost. If they didn't get her back, where would the Star Luo Empire put its face?
Dugu Feng's heart moved, and he revealed a smile.
Center of the Star Dou Great Forest.
There was a clear lake surrounded by a circle of towering trees, revealing a skylight-like patch of sky only directly above the lake.
The soft sunlight shone through this gap onto the lake surface, reflecting a faint luster.
In this quiet and gentle atmosphere, a buzzing sound was ringing out.
By the lakeside, an extremely huge figure stood aggressively. This figure was over fifteen meters tall, its entire body covered in jet-black fur that was groomed to a shine.
This was the Titan Giant Ape. The sturdy muscles on its body were comparable to granite, its red veins were taut, and its two lantern-sized eyes scanned back and forth like searchlights.
"Er Ming, can you find it?"
On the Titan Giant Ape's shoulder, Xiao Wu, dressed in a white one-piece dress, asked nervously.
The Titan Giant Ape was furious. "Come out! Come out if you have the skill!"
"Pfft!"
Xiao Wu immediately laughed. It seemed Er Ming was really angry; otherwise, he wouldn't be this furious.
With a splash, the lake surface beside them moved. Countless splashes of water suddenly erupted, and a huge bull head with a diameter of over four meters broke through the water.
The bull head was covered in deep green scales; this was naturally the Sky Blue Bull Python.
"Second Brother, ignore it. I think it just wants to anger us and has no malicious intent to harm us. Don't lower yourself to its level!"
The Sky Blue Bull Python spoke in human language, saying calmly.
"Exactly, Er Ming. Look how calm Da Ming is. Don't get excited. This bold Soul Beast probably just wants to play with us!" Xiao Wu said with a chuckle.
The Titan Giant Ape's gaze was cold, and it said indignantly, "It actually dared to land on my head, sleep on my head, and shit on my head! And not just once! Until now, I don't even know what it looks like.
You guys are standing there talking without feeling the back pain!"
Xiao Wu held back her laughter, not planning to provoke the Titan Giant Ape any further.
The Sky Blue Bull Python said seriously, "With your massive size, maybe some flying bird Soul Beast thought your head was a small hill. Resting on it is quite normal!"
The Titan Giant Ape was still unwilling to let it go.
It was the King of the Forest; who dared to shit on its head!
"Moo!"
Suddenly, the Sky Blue Bull Python let out a sharp whistle and flew out of the water.
"Who is it? Who dares to wrap around my body!"
Following its loud shout, everything around turned into a cyan world, and the air became solidified.
The Sky Blue Bull Python directly unleashed its domain, the Sloth Domain, slowing all enemy actions by more than thirty percent.
But even though its reaction was fast, it didn't find any enemy underwater.
"Big Brother, don't get excited. Maybe it's the small fish and shrimp in the water playing with you!"
This time it was the Titan Giant Ape's turn to stand there talking without feeling the back pain.
The Sky Blue Bull Python ignored him completely. Instead, its huge bull head and snake body rotated back and forth around the lakeside, constantly searching.
It was angry.
It was fine to provoke the Titan Giant Ape, but you dare to provoke me?
Xiao Wu was also dumbfounded. Da Ming, who had just calmly persuaded Er Ming, had exploded in an instant.
"What King of the Forest? Even we brothers can't discover it!"
"Come here! Come here! Come on, come chase us!"
Two mental fluctuations stunned the three hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts present.
Such naked provocation—how many years had it been since they experienced it?
The last time was the provocation of three little ants, which led them to chase them directly out of the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Roar! Can't tolerate this! Can't tolerate this!"
The Titan Giant Ape let out a monstrous roar, its legs instantly springing up as it flew in the direction of the mental fluctuation.
The Sky Blue Bull Python followed without hesitation.
Originally, they thought it was just some Soul Beast with special abilities, but now it seemed the opponent's strength exceeded imagination.
To be able to silently deceive the senses of both of them.
And even get close to their bodies.
If it had attacked them, wouldn't they have been completely unaware?
The Sky Blue Bull Python sensed danger.
It decided to teach the opponent a lesson.
Regarding the Soul Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest, they were unwilling to hunt the weak.
But daring to ride on their faces and deal damage like this—it couldn't tolerate it either.
In the forest, two massive figures moved very swiftly.
The dense forest did not affect their movements in the slightest.
With their mobilization, the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest fell into complete chaos.
