They sensed an astonishing presence from the distant jungle.
The ladies trembled slightly, their beautiful eyes turning to look in unison.
"What's going on?"
"Is something coming from over there?"
Zhu Zhuyun looked at the soul beasts fleeing frantically around them, her eyes grave as she said in a deep voice:
"To cause such a commotion, what level of soul beast could it be?"
"It's terrifying!"
"For safety, we should evacuate quickly too."
"Moo!"
A sound like that of an ox bellowing echoed.
The explosive sonic waves radiated far and wide, rustling the leaves of the jungle with a swishing noise.
The group was unsettled.
Four more terrifying beast roars followed, shaking the area.
A multitude of beasts fled in panic.
Ning Rongrong said with uncertainty: "What's going on? Aren't we at the edge of the Aquipeia Forest? How could such a terrifying soul beast suddenly appear?"
Zhu Zhuyun turned her head, "Rongrong, can you tell what soul beast it is?"
Ning Rongrong frowned and replied, "It's hard to judge the other four sounds, but this bellow is too distinctive."
"Throughout the entire Aquipeia Forest, to have such power from so far away, the only soul beast capable of bellowing like an ox is probably that one."
Zhu Zhu Yun Sisters and Ye Lingling's faces paled instantly.
"You mean the Azure Oxpython?"
"Damn it, isn't it supposed to stay in the core area? How come it's running towards the outskirts all of a sudden?"
"The other four sounds are the same; could there be soul beasts of the same level on the loose?"
"That's too dangerous," Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth.
"Although we don't know why these hundred-thousand-year soul beasts suddenly appeared on the outskirts, we must leave immediately."
"Okay."
The Zhu Zhuqing Sisters nodded quickly, their anxious gaze turning to Luo Yu.
But they found that he appeared quite calm.
He stood there serenely admiring the scenery, with not a hint of panic on his face.
Completely unaffected by the disturbance from afar, he was like someone who had nothing to worry about.
Ning Rongrong pulled Luo Yu's hand, urging him in a hushed tone.
"Brother Yu, we're almost in a crisis here; how can you still have the mood to enjoy the scenery? We need to run."
Luo Yu turned his head and chuckled: "Run from what?"
Ning Rongrong glared at him, pointing towards the direction of the disturbance, "Brother Yu, you can see, can't you? There's a soul beast about to attack us from over there."
Luo Yu reassured: "Let it come. A few little cats, nothing to be scared of."
Ning Rongrong was shocked.
"Brother Yu, I suspect that the one coming over is the Azure Oxpython recorded in our sect's archives. That's the Overlord of the Star Dou Forest. Even with our team, we won't be able to withstand it."
Luo Yu patted Ning Rongrong's hand with a smile.
"You don't have to suspect, it is the Azure Oxpython."
Ning Rongrong's face blanched, "Brother Yu, if you've recognized it, shouldn't we be running now?"
"The Azure Oxpython and the Titan Ape stick together like shadows."
"If it has come out, surely the Titan Ape has followed. Even if Xiaowu's aunt has the strength of a Titled Douluo, she won't be able to hold off two soul beasts working together."
Luo Yu shook his head with a smile, correcting her: "You're wrong."
"It's not two soul beasts rushing over here, it's three."
Ning Rongrong's eyelids twitched, puzzled.
"By your words, shouldn't we be running even more?"
Luo Yu remained calm and composed, slowly saying: "No need to run. We'll just wait here. If I'm not mistaken, they'll be here soon."
"What?" Ning Rongrong's eyes widened, "Not only are we not running, but we're also waiting for them to come?"
"Brother Yu, believe me, our sect's records state that the Azure Oxpython is truly strong. Only a Hyper Douluo above level ninety-five can match it. We risk being totally wiped out."
Luo Yu's lips curved slightly upward, "Rongrong, have you forgotten what I said before?"
"What did you say before?"
"The Titan Ape and the Oxpython are like little brothers to me."
Ning Rongrong burst into laughter, her hand playfully slapping his shoulder, "Brother Yu, I really admire your nerve, still joking at a time like this."
Luo Yu looked serious, "I'm not joking."
Ning Rongrong giggled, shaking his arm, "Oh, come on now."
```
"All fun and games aside,"
"Brother Yu, we really need to get moving, or it'll be too late."
The Zhu Zhuqing Sisters and Ye Lingling all became somewhat anxious after hearing this, as they had never encountered high-level soul beasts in their lives; this was their first time.
Despite the urgency of the situation, they weren't rushing to leave.
Because the man hadn't left yet.
They were waiting for the man to make a decision.
Luo Yu raised three fingers, with a slight upward curl at the corner of his mouth.
His words were astonishing.
"Do you believe that in three minutes, the so-called three dominant soul beasts will be kneeling before us?"
"What?"
The girls were instantly shaken upon hearing this, their beautiful eyes trembling.
Their lovely faces were filled with disbelief, doubting if they had misheard.
What the man said was simply too preposterous.
They couldn't even find a logical reason to believe it.
A hundred thousand year old soul beast overlord running all the way from the core area, just to kneel before you, a human?
How could that be possible.
A beast can be killed, but not humiliated.
Even if Pope Bi Bidong herself came, she couldn't make a hundred thousand year old soul beast kneel, right?
Zhu Zhuqing murmured with hesitation, "Brother Yu, we didn't mishear just now, did we?"
Luo Yu reached out to pinch her slightly stiff and tender cheek due to nervousness.
"You didn't mishear."
"Don't worry, I'm here, nothing will happen to you."
Zhu Zhuqing swallowed, thinking that if it were someone else saying such outrageous things,
she would definitely think that person was crazy, but this person was Luo Yu.
Although she felt the man's words were absurd, she was willing to stand here and accompany her man until the moment the answer was revealed.
Xiaowu walked over, tugged at Luo Yu's clothes, and said pitifully with her lips slightly bitten, "Brother Yu, Xiaowu is really scared, let's run away fast."
"Enough with the act; it's fine if Rongrong and the others are scared, but what the hell are you afraid of?"
Luo Yu disdainfully swatted away her hand.
He then smacked her round, plump buttocks wrapped in a silver skirt, a crisp sound ringing out.
"Hiss, Brother Yu, you really hit me."
"It must have turned red."
Xiaowu furrowed her brows in pain, rubbing her little behind.
"It serves you right for acting up and causing me trouble," Luo Yu glared, pretending to hit her again.
Xiaowu, covering her buttocks, dodged to the side, pleading repeatedly, "I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again."
Listening to Luo Yu and Xiaowu's conversation, Ning Rongrong and the others around them wore expressions of shock.
Ye Lingling asked in confusion, "Xiaowu...what's this act you're putting on with Brother Yu?"
Xiaowu spoke up to explain.
"Ah, haven't you figured it out yet? Actually, all those things Brother Yu just told you are true."
"Although those words may seem unbelievable, they are indeed the reality."
"Those three guys coming from afar, you all don't have to be afraid at all, just trust in Brother Yu."
The girls like Ye Lingling were somewhat stunned at this point.
Their brains were overloaded with information, and they hadn't yet had time to process it.
All the things Brother Yu said were true?
That can't be.
That's just too exaggerated.
And didn't we hear the roars of five beasts just a moment ago?
Why are Brother Yu and Xiaowu only talking about three soul beasts coming?
"Boom boom boom!!"
As they were lost in puzzlement, the trembling of the ground was already close at hand.
Soon, three mountainous behemoths came into view of all the girls.
Making their pupils instantly contract.
As for Luo Yu, he simply smiled serenely.
My witnesses.
No, my beastly witnesses, have finally arrived…
