Douluo: Danheng just want to avoid trouble, Gu Yuena Pursues.-Chapter 229: Whose Credit? A thousand streams are better than the god of the sea!
Chapter 229 - 229: Whose Credit? A thousand streams are better than the god of the sea!
There were a total of seventeen dragon-type soul beasts flying in the sky, each several zhang long, and all of them were soul beasts over 50,000 years old!
And these dragon-type soul beasts weren't just some distant bloodline offshoots.
They were all sub-dragons!
In other words, soul beasts born from dragons and other closely related species.
Things like wyverns and thorn dragons—each one ferocious and vicious. With over 50,000 years of cultivation, they could already go toe-to-toe with Titled Douluos in battle!
Let alone the fact that there were seventeen dragons at once!
As soon as these dragon beasts appeared, their combined draconic pressure swept forth like a tidal wave, crashing down on the Shrek group.
At that moment, even Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo felt their heads buzzing.
Even if they teamed up, they might not be a match for these dragon-type soul beasts!
Liu Erlong gave Flender a fierce glare. "All your fault!"
Flender wanted to cry but had no tears. How could he have expected that the soul beasts up to now were manageable, yet everything fell apart the moment they reached the Heart Moon Fox?
Now they were in real trouble. The Spirit Hall members might be able to escape—they had two Titled Douluos after all.
But for their Blue Tyrant Academy, it might be the end!
They could very well be completely wiped out!
They couldn't win. Not even close!
"This is complete bullshit! In a moment, we'll immobilize those dragon-type soul beasts. The rest of you, run! Don't hesitate! Got it?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo said in a low voice.
"!!!" Flender responded immediately.
"Good kid, when the time comes, run! Don't worry about anyone else!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo gave a special instruction to Zhu Zhuqing.
Everyone looked surprised.
They quickly realized that Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were risking themselves—likely for Zhu Zhuqing!
What kind of deep relationship did they have?
Huo Wu's eyes were red with emotion. "It must be because of Mister Dan Heng's connections! Once we get back, I must become Mister Dan Heng's disciple—no matter what!"
The dragon-type soul beasts in the sky began flying toward them.
"Let's begin, you damned ghost!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo shouted, and a large chrysanthemum bloomed in front of him. At the same time, nine soul rings rose beneath his feet.
Ghost Douluo beside him also released his martial soul and soul rings.
"Polar Still Domain!"
The two moved in perfect sync, rising into the sky.
They turned into two balls of light, spinning rapidly.
A golden and a black energy intertwined, forming a harmonious large circle.
In an instant, starting from them, an energy wave swept across the sky.
The wind stopped. Sound vanished. Everything felt like it had been paused.
Even the dragon-type soul beasts in the sky became frozen in place.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had used their Martial Soul Fusion Technique to buy them time to escape!
"Run!!!"
Flender shouted immediately.
Everyone followed him, running toward the edge of Sunset Forest.
Even Hu Liena's group didn't dare separate.
They all moved closer to Zhu Zhuqing.
Now they suspected that, in Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes, the three of them weren't as important as Zhu Zhuqing!
If they split up, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo might go after Zhu Zhuqing first!
Dai Mubai followed the group, a look of unwillingness on his face.
"That idiot! Why hasn't he shown up yet? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Dai Mubai was furious.
This was the perfect time to kidnap Zhu Zhuqing—it could very likely succeed!
And yet... nothing!
Everyone ran desperately. Flender used his Martial Soul True Body, carrying the slower students.
Zhao Wuji and Liu Erlong followed suit, carrying some students.
They were all giving it everything they had.
In no time, they had fled several li, and could no longer see the mountains behind them.
Just then, two deafening roars echoed from the distance.
"Rooaaarrr...!!!"
It was the roar of dragons!
Flender nearly fell out of the sky—it was draconic pressure coming at them!
For a flying-type soul master like him, this was deadly!
But the key thing was—
"Damn it, that's a hundred-thousand-year soul beast?! And a dragon-type at that?! Since when did Sunset Forest have something that insane?"
Flender was completely dumbfounded.
Liu Erlong panicked. "Quit talking nonsense! Run!"
"Run?! I... I've been locked on! And not by just one hundred-thousand-year soul beast!"
Flender's voice trembled—he never should have taken to the air!
Now there was no escape!
"What?!"
Liu Erlong froze for a second.
Then she too felt the draconic pressure drawing closer.
A hundred-thousand-year soul beast was leading a group of over-50,000-year beasts in pursuit!
"Erlong, take the others and run. I'll distract them!"
Flender said quickly.
"Shut up! We agreed to live and die together! Now you're definitely going to die, and you think I'd abandon you?"
Liu Erlong shouted angrily, "Everyone else evacuate now! Sunset Forest... has gone insane!"
But the Shrek group didn't leave.
Seeing Liu Erlong staying, Blue Tyrant Academy didn't leave either.
Who didn't have guts?
Only the Golden Generation wanted to leave—they tried to take Zhu Zhuqing with them.
But Zhu Zhuqing avoided them. "I'm not leaving."
"Are you trying to die?! You think those dragon beasts will spare you? They'll tear everything to shreds!"
Yan shouted angrily.
Huo Wu suddenly ran up and clung to Zhu Zhuqing's arm, shouting, "Why are you yelling! If you don't want to die, then scram!"
"You—!" Yan glared at Huo Wu in frustration.
Huo Wu held Zhu Zhuqing's arm and said, "Zhuqing, I'm your sister-in-death now. If we make it out alive, you have to help me become your junior disciple!"
"No..." Zhu Zhuqing started to object.
"Then it's settled!"
Huo Wu didn't give her a chance to say no.
Huo Wushuang saw his sister staying and, naturally, wouldn't leave either.
In the end, no one left.
At that moment, a blazing red hundred-thousand-year fire dragon came hurtling through the sky. Its massive wings stirred up gales and draconic pressure that slammed down on them.
A dark cloud loomed over everyone's hearts.
A genuine hundred-thousand-year soul beast!
Its body was over thirty meters long. Its golden eyes looked down at them. It hadn't even attacked yet, but everyone felt paralyzed with fear.
Flender and Liu Erlong stared at the fire dragon.
Flender called out: "Lord Dragon! We didn't mean to intrude! This is all a misunderstanding—please forgive us..."
Hundred-thousand-year soul beasts had intelligence not inferior to humans.
Communication was possible.
Of course, some had underdeveloped minds and couldn't speak human language.
The fire dragon gave no reply. It circled above them.
Just as it was about to attack with dragon breath, its eyes suddenly locked onto Zhu Zhuqing.
A look of astonishment flickered in its eyes.
Its master had shown them portraits, warning them not to harm certain individuals.
And among those portraits... was Zhu Zhuqing!
"ROAR!!!"
The fire dragon suddenly roared at the other dragon beasts behind it. Draconic pressure swept across the ground like a beast tide.
Then—to everyone's shock—it turned and left!
The dragon beasts following behind also gave up on Flender and the others, turning around and flying away.
The crisis... was over. Just like that.
Flender blinked, unable to process it. This overwhelming threat that could have annihilated them... was suddenly gone.
He touched his face and muttered, "Could it be... I'm just too attractive by dragon standards? They couldn't bear to hurt me?"
"..."
Liu Erlong exhaled deeply and suddenly kicked Flender over.
"Shut up, you idiot! Stop embarrassing us!"
Liu Erlong looked at the fire dragon's retreating figure and chalked it up to coincidence.
There was no way Flender's words made a difference.
When the fire dragon arrived earlier, its killing intent was obvious—no way it gave up just because of Flender.
In the crowd, Zhu Zhuqing frowned slightly. She sensed that fire dragon had deliberately looked at her.
"Zhuqing, you think that fire dragon also knows our master?" Huo Wu whispered.
Zhu Zhuqing came to her senses and glanced at Huo Wu.
What do you mean "our master"?
Huo Wu stuck out her tongue and mumbled, "Anyway, we agreed—you're my senior sister now..."
"..."
Zhu Zhuqing's expression froze slightly. Shameless, aren't you?
Everyone else was still celebrating surviving.
"That scared the hell out of me! I really thought I was done for! That dragon must've been a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, right?"
"Good thing it didn't attack us, or who knows what would've happened!"
"Why do you think it didn't attack?"
"..."
Everyone buzzed with discussion.
At that moment, two figures flew toward them.
It was Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.
Chrysanthemum Douluo landed immediately and made a beeline for Zhu Zhuqing.
"..."
Hu Liena and her two companions thought, So it's really like this, and couldn't help but cast somewhat resentful looks at Chrysanthemum Douluo.
"Good child, you weren't hurt, were you?"Chrysanthemum Douluo's breathing was unstable as he asked with concern.
Zhu Zhuqing slightly shook her head and softly thanked him. freёnovelkiss.com
"You child, what are you thanking me for? I and your old... cough cough—those dragon-type soul beasts, for some unknown reason, suddenly gave up on attacking. That's a good thing. We should find an opportunity to retreat. Because of the dragon might released by that hundred-thousand-year fire dragon, all the soul beasts in the Sunset Forest are going berserk. If a beast tide forms, it'll be disastrous."
Chrysanthemum Douluo said with a chuckle.
Liu Erlong and the others naturally agreed. Safety was the top priority, so they prepared to retreat.
The roar from the fire dragon, filled with overwhelming dragon might, had indeed thrown the entire Sunset Forest into chaos!
Soul beasts began to riot.
Soul masters who were hunting soul beasts inside the forest were now in serious trouble.
Among them were Zhu Zhuyun and Dai Weisi.
The two of them had the worst luck imaginable—they ran into a group of Wild Gorillas, soul beasts known for their erratic temper and tendency to act in groups!
A horde of pitch-black Wild Gorillas were now chasing Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"The Wild Gorillas raised their arms and howled excitedly as they gave chase.
Dai Weisi was terrified. If they were caught, they'd surely be torn to shreds!
He glanced at Zhu Zhuyun, who was keeping pace with him.
But in truth, Zhu Zhuyun was definitely faster than him!
If only one of them could make it out alive, it would certainly be Zhu Zhuyun.
"I can't die! If I die, the Star Luo Empire will be doomed! This woman may be my fiancée, but she's also the daughter of a traitor!"
With a twisted expression, Dai Weisi suddenly shot a blazing light wave at Zhu Zhuyun's thigh.
The white beam struck her leg, causing her to stumble and tumble to the ground.
"Weisi!!!" Zhu Zhuyun lay on the ground, looking at him in disbelief.
But Dai Weisi didn't even look back—he kept running.
Sure enough, the Wild Gorillas saw that Zhu Zhuyun had been separated, and stopped chasing Dai Weisi. They swarmed around her instead!
Zhu Zhuyun looked at the layers of gorillas surrounding her and was filled with despair.
She closed her eyes, as if she could already see herself being ripped apart.
But... the pain never came.
Instead, the ground trembled slightly.
When she opened her eyes again, the Wild Gorillas were scattering and fleeing.
Standing nearby was a man with a powerful aura—it was none other than Chrysanthemum Douluo.
"She looks a bit like that child. I'll bring her back and let her take a look."Chrysanthemum Douluo grabbed Zhu Zhuyun by the shoulder and swiftly soared into the sky with her.
Soon, Chrysanthemum Douluo returned to the group with Zhu Zhuyun.
He had been scouting ahead for the team, so it wasn't surprising he came across her.
"Good child, take a look—do you know this young lady?"
He set Zhu Zhuyun down in front of Zhu Zhuqing.
When Zhu Zhuyun saw Zhu Zhuqing, her face flushed with shame. She lowered her head, unwilling to be recognized.
Zhu Zhuqing was a little surprised. Her gaze dropped to Zhu Zhuyun's knee, where the flesh was torn and bloody from the attack.
Chrysanthemum Douluo explained, "Wasn't me. It was her own companion..."
"..."
Zhu Zhuyun covered her face and cried. She couldn't accept the fact that Dai Weisi had abandoned her!
Zhu Zhuqing hesitated, then stepped forward and hugged her.
"Come home with me..."
Huo Wu immediately ran to Shao Xin, Shrek Academy's food-type Soul Saint.
"Teacher Shao, do you have any healing candies? Quick, give one to this sister..."
Huo Wu was good at reading the room—starting now, she would proudly claim herself as Zhu Zhuqing's junior disciple!
Meanwhile, in the Blue Tyrant Academy's library...
Qian Daoliu appeared with a smile, walking over to Dan Heng.
"Mr. Dan Heng, I bring good news..."
Dan Heng looked at Qian Daoliu with a puzzled expression. "What is it?"
"We at the Spirit Hall have located the Red-Bearded Fire Dragon you asked for. Give us a little more time, and we'll definitely capture it alive and bring it to you!"
Qian Daoliu said happily.
This was a soul beast Mr. Dan Heng had been researching personally—he hadn't forgotten.
Even though Dan Heng had claimed someone else was helping, how could anyone outdo the Spirit Hall?
And now, they'd actually found the Red-Bearded Fire Dragon!
"Oh?" Dan Heng was slightly surprised. Did I overestimate Poseidon's abilities? Or did something unexpected happen?
"Mr. Dan Heng, shall we deliver the Red-Bearded Fire Dragon to the Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City? Or would another location be better?"
Qian Daoliu asked.
Dan Heng nodded, "Either is fine. Thank you..."
"No need to thank me! It's our pleasure!"Qian Daoliu replied, beaming with joy.
