Chapter 34: The Six Shrek Monsters and the Titan Giant Ape Appears!

At the same time,

In the heart of the Star Dou Forest.

"I felt…a strange, evil aura just now. Did you feel it too, Er Ming?" As ripples broke the tranquil surface of the lake,

A massive bull head emerged from the water. Hearing this,

Er Ming, the hundred-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape, replied, "Big Brother, I sensed it too."

"So… should I go check it out?" After a brief moment of thought,

The Sky Azure Bull Python, hidden within the lake, responded, "No need. Sometimes, it's better to avoid trouble. Let's stay quiet."

"Understood, Big Brother." Hearing his brother's response, Er Ming didn't press further.

Looking up at the clear sky,

He seemed to recall something and, after a pause, asked his brother Da Ming, the Sky Azure Bull Python, "Big Brother, when do you think Sister Xiao Wu will return?"

Da Ming didn't reply, clearly at a loss on how to answer. Seeing this,

The usually simple-minded Er Ming grew somber and turned away.

Just as he was about to splash around in the lake for a bath before hunting some soul beasts, A familiar presence suddenly caught his attention, and his pupils contracted.

After confirming that he hadn't mistaken it,

Er Ming, the Titan Giant Ape, immediately set off in a particular direction within the forest. Da Ming, seeing this,

Smiled slightly,

Murmuring to himself, "Speak of Sister Xiao Wu, and she appears. Today really is a good day." 

Meanwhile,

In the inner perimeter of the Star Dou Forest,

The moment the Titan Giant Ape stirred and began moving,

On the "Wind-Thunder Vessel," Devil Bear Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo immediately grew vigilant.

Without hesitation,

After scanning the area,

They promptly reported to Qian Renxue and Lu Yunzhou, "Mr. Lu, Young Mistress, the Titan Giant Ape, a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, is heading towards the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest!"

Hearing this,

Qian Renxue frowned.

"The outskirts? Are you sure? Why would it go there? It doesn't make sense for it to head to such a place."

Beside her,

Listening to Qian Renxue's words,

Lu Yunzhou, while stroking the head of "Mo Yin," the dark-striped tiger, calmly spoke his thoughts.

"The world is vast, and our lives are small. Rules and conventions are but society's restraints. To be deemed 'different' for breaking them is laughable."

He then added directly,

"Rules are meant to be broken, and norms the same. When the unexpected happens, change often follows, for better or worse. Regardless, we must go investigate."

After stating his purpose,

Lu Yunzhou addressed Serpent Spear Douluo Yu Long, who was steering the "Wind-Thunder Vessel,"

"Serpent Spear Douluo, please change course and follow them." 

Hearing this,

Serpent Spear Douluo Yu Long instinctively replied, "As you wish, Mr. Lu." 

Somehow,

A sense of submission had taken root in Yu Long towards Lu Yunzhou…

And perhaps, it was all due to Lu Yunzhou's overwhelming and otherworldly methods. Following Lu Yunzhou into the Star Dou Forest,

Qian Renxue had come to collaborate with him,

So, for most of Lu Yunzhou's requests, as long as they weren't unreasonable, she would naturally agree.

Thus,

Qian Renxue didn't object to Lu Yunzhou giving orders to Serpent Spear Douluo. Instead, she found herself curious about what Lu Yunzhou intended to do.

Meanwhile,

On the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest. 

Yesterday,

After helping Oscar acquire the soul ring of the Phoenix-Tailed Cockscomb Snake from Meng Yiran,

Early today,

The Shrek Seven Devils…no, they were now the Shrek Six Devils under the lead of Zhao Wuji, the Motionless Bright King,

Had begun their search within the forest, Looking for Tang San's third soul ring.

A short while ago, "Seventh Sister" Zhu Zhuqing had quietly departed one night, leaving the original Shrek Seven Devils as the Shrek Six Devils.

However,

This didn't cause much emotional disturbance among the group. 

In fact,

Some even felt that losing one member wasn't a bad thing,

After all, "six" was an auspicious number, symbolizing smooth progress and fortune. So, Fatty Ma Hongjun was already muttering, "Six, smooth and prosperous. Here's hoping we find Third Brother a suitable soul ring today, so I don't waste more of my 'strolling time.'"

Hearing this,

Dai Mubai chuckled, "Strolling? You mean visiting the brothel, don't you? Everyone knows your habits, Fatty."

For some reason,

After Zhu Zhuqing's departure,

Dai Mubai felt much more at ease, as though he was finally free. Perhaps because he no longer had to "pretend."

Though he wasn't sure where Zhu Zhuqing had gone, Dai Mubai didn't care in the slightest.

Otherwise,

He would have taken her with him when he left the Star Luo Empire, rather than leaving her behind.

So,

Dai Mubai had never truly cared about her. That was the truth, clear and undeniable! Now, with Zhu Zhuqing gone,

Dai Mubai only felt a slight regret for missing out on a delicious "meal." Hearing Dai Mubai's taunt,

Ma Hongjun grumbled, "Nothing good ever comes out of your mouth!" 

After that,

To avoid Dai Mubai's retaliation,

Ma Hongjun wisely positioned himself next to Zhao Wuji, "Teacher Zhao, you have to protect me!"

Zhao Wuji: "…" 

"Get lost."

Zhao Wuji snapped back in exasperation, his expression suddenly shifting.

Narrowing his eyes, he immediately released his seven soul rings: two yellow, two purple, and three black.

As the rings flared to life,

Zhao Wuji barked his commands, "Fall back, everyone! Mubai, organize the group and protect Ning Rongrong and Oscar! Everyone, eat one of Oscar's Flying Mushroom Sausages—now!"

Before Zhao Wuji could finish,

A massive figure appeared before them. And that figure,

Was none other than the hundred-thousand-year soul beast, the King of the Forest… the Titan Giant Ape!
