In the northern core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Your Excellency, have you found him?"
Qian Renxue paced back and forth, unable to hold back and finally asked Dugu Bo, who was standing quietly to the side with his eyes closed, his body emitting a faint green light.
With Dugu Bo following, she had not let anyone secretly follow this time. Otherwise, she wouldn't be in such a passive situation now.
"Don't rush!"
Dugu Bo didn't even raise his eyelids.
Qian Renxue had been "chattering" all the way, and by now, he had already gotten used to it.
At the same time, he also understood more clearly how important Li Yu was in Qian Renxue heart.
However...
The Star Dou Forest was vast. It was unrealistic to rashly enter and search for someone.
Instead, he was using his [Snake King] Martial Soul, "controlling" the snakes in the forest to find Li Yu location more quickly.
Having witnessed Li Yu strength, he knew that as long as they didn't go too deep into the core area, there was very little chance that Li Yu would encounter any danger that he couldn't handle.
Even if he couldn't win, Li Yu could still escape with his speed.
That speed, even he was somewhat amazed by it.
"You, a Title Douluo, why is it so slow to find someone?"
Qian Renxue, now anxious, couldn't help but blurt out, "Besides, Li Yu is my wife, not your wife. Of course, you're not in a hurry..."
"..."
Dugu Bo mouth twitched at her words, unsure how to respond.
This was true, but to him, Li Yu was like a granddaughter, almost on the same level as Dugu Yan.
How could he not be in a hurry?
If he weren't in a hurry, would he have rushed to knock on 'Xue Qinghe,' that little yellow-haired kid?
This was all out of concern for Li Yu, to make sure she could handle the royal-born 'Xue Qinghe!'
It was all out of good intentions!
Now, after observing for a while, he had actually started to appreciate 'Xue Qinghe' more, thinking that Li Yu marrying him wasn't so bad after all.
But...
This little yellow-haired kid actually saw him being calm all the way and starting to get cocky!
Does he think a Title Douluo is like a cabbage?
Old man Dugu Bo doesn't show his power, does he really think I'm his subordinate?
Dugu Bo heart, which had been warming towards 'Xue Qinghe,' collapsed in an instant.
He was just about to teach 'Xue Qinghe' a lesson in humility when suddenly, his breathing froze...
Through the controlled poisonous snakes, he found Li Yu!
But what he saw made his heart stir with turmoil.
Li Yu stood quietly in the forest, his eyes slightly closed.
Around him was a mess, clearly indicating that a battle had already taken place.
However, this wasn't a rare sight in the soul beast-ravaged Star Dou Great Forest.
What shocked him was the six soul rings shining around Li Yu!
Purple! Purple! Black! Black! Red! Silver Gray!
Six soul rings. The first four, he could accept.
After all, Li Yu had previously had a combination of three purple and two black soul rings, so the change from three purple to two purple wasn't too hard to accept.
But the fifth soul ring, he had clearly seen it being absorbed right under his nose. It was a 30,000-year black soul ring!
So how did it turn into a red 100,000-year soul ring now!?
Dugu Bo didn't understand, but there were examples of "mutations" in the past, so he could force himself to understand that Li Yu soul ring had mutated during the absorption.
But...
What about that sixth silver-gray soul ring?
As a Title Douluo, he was not just a scholar of heaven and earth, but also an expert in martial souls and soul master cultivation, one of the few "masters" of the continent.
How many Title Douluo existed in Douluo Continent?
He, Dugu Bo, was among them, and that was no small feat.
Hmm...
As the title of "master" flashed in his mind, Dugu Bo couldn't help but think of Yu Xiaogang.
Ugh... don't bring that up!
Forget about Yu Xiaogang, forget about the title of "master"—just forget it!
Bad luck!
Dugu Bo shook his head and focused once again on the silver-gray soul ring around Li Yu.
Unheard of, unseen!
Could it be that some strange soul beast had produced this soul ring, leading to another "mutation" in Li Yu soul ring?
Dugu Bo thought to himself.
But just then, the ground suddenly began to tremble!
Even the ancient trees in the forest swayed wildly as the ground trembled, and stones began shaking.
What...?
What powerful soul beast is approaching?
Dugu Bo was shocked, feeling the terrifying power. Immediately, legends about the Star Dou Great Forest flashed in his mind.
It was said that there were two exceptionally powerful 100,000-year soul beasts within, and their bloodlines were extremely special!
Their strength was such that ordinary Title Douluo were no match for them!
And the only soul beast that could produce such an effect as it moved was...
The Titan Giant Ape!
Dugu Bo heart raced, and instinctively, he wanted to take Li Yu and flee.
But as soon as the thought crossed his mind, he remembered that he was seeing Li Yu through the perspective of a controlled poisonous snake, and he was unable to take Li Yu and escape.
His heart raced in panic as he calculated the distance between them. He realized that it was too late to reach Li Yu now!
The Titan Giant Ape's speed was faster than his, and it was closer to Li Yu location!
Why would such a creature head toward Li Yu location?
Dugu Bo couldn't help but think this, but the answer came in the next moment.
The soul ring!
That silver-gray soul ring!
He was horrified as he realized that Li Yu had likely killed some extraordinary being and absorbed its soul ring.
It's over!
Dugu Bo face turned pale.
With his strength, facing the Titan Giant Ape alone, he had no chance.
First, the Titan Giant Ape was far too powerful.
Second, while his poison skills made him famous across the continent, if it came to direct combat, he was self-aware enough to know that he wasn't a match for someone like Tang Hao, who was known for his raw combat power.
So, for a moment, he was at a loss.
"Your Excellency!"
Qian Renxue anxious voice suddenly rang out.
Dugu Bo froze for a moment, then snapped back to his senses.
He cursed inwardly: Dugu Bo, Dugu Bo, how long ago did you swear an oath? How could you forget it now when faced with a bit of difficulty?
He opened his eyes and looked far toward Li Yu location.
Feeling the tremors of the ground, he calmly spoke: "Hurry and run. I've found Li Yu. I will bring him back!"
Qian Renxue froze for a moment, and then her face turned pale.
Finding Li Yu was naturally a relief to her, meaning that Li Yu was safe.
But the second part of his words made her lose all color in her face.
It meant that the disturbance in the forest was heading toward Li Yu!
Being from the Spirit Hall, she knew exactly what kind of existence could cause such a disturbance in the Star Dou Great Forest.
It's over!
If only she had brought the Ci Xue or She Long with her…
She regretted it in her heart, and her body swayed.
Dugu Bo ignored Qian Renxue strange behavior, and his mind reconnected with the poisonous snake he had seen earlier.
The next moment.
His expression changed slightly, his eyes flashed with a strange light, and then his soul power enveloped Qian Renxue, lifting her off the ground, and he immediately turned and ran…
