Douluo: The Unrivaled Demon Lord

Chapter 11 Knee Pillow and the Group of Violent Apes
By the time Shu Yan woke up naturally, the sun was almost at its zenith.

Shu Yan opened his eyes in a daze, and what he saw was Han Ruoruo's delicate and exquisite face. The soft touch under her head was real, and the fragrance lingering around his nose made Shu Yan wake up quickly.

He propped himself up, rubbed his eyebrows, and turned to look at Han Ruoruo. Han Ruoruo was also awakened by Shu Yan's actions and slowly opened her eyes.

"Seeing you were sleeping soundly at that time, I didn't wake you up. I wanted you to sleep a little longer."

Han Ruoruo rubbed her legs which were a little sore and numb, then whispered to Shu Yan.

Shu Yan touched his nose. He had actually woken up during that period, but lying on Han Ruoruo's legs was too comfortable. He actually fell asleep again while lying there. This really surprised him.

"Okay, stop daydreaming and come help your sister."

Han Ruoruo spoke again, and Shu Yan didn't care about anything else and directly held the little hand that Han Ruoruo extended.

After standing up, Han Ruoruo's steps were still a little stiff. Even though she was a Soul Saint-level expert, she couldn't stand having someone use her legs as a pillow for several hours. In the end, she almost relied on willpower to hold on.

"Sister Ruoruo, I'm sorry..."

Shu Yan said a little embarrassedly. Looking at Han Ruoruo's strange steps, someone who didn't know might think that he had done something unspeakable to her.

Han Ruoruo snorted lightly, but didn't blame Shu Yan, she just said:

"After we go to Shrek City, accompany me shopping. You are not allowed to complain or complain."

"Okay, you can stroll around for as long as you want."

Shu Yan agreed decisively without any hesitation.

It's just shopping. As a member of the Battle Soul Sect who possesses a true dragon martial spirit, how could he be exhausted by shopping?
Are you kidding me? This is impossible!

Gu Yun looked at the two of them with a smile on her face, but did not say a word.

After everything was packed up, Han Ruoruo and Gu Yun protected Shu Yan in the middle, and the three of them quickly rushed towards the depths of the Xingdou Great Forest.

……

As the largest gathering place for soul beasts on the continent, the Xingdou Great Forest is large enough to be compared with any large province of the three empires. In such a vast land, there live an unimaginable number of soul beasts of all kinds, including some rare soul beasts that have been confirmed to be extinct in the outside world.

In history, the Star Dou Great Forest had experienced several beast tides, and each beast tide caused extremely serious losses to mankind. Even though the timeline has come to this era, mankind's exploration of the Star Dou Great Forest has not made much progress, but compared with ten thousand years ago, it is still a considerable improvement.

The density of soul beasts in the area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest that the three of them entered was not too high. Compared with the area that Shrek Academy faced, it was nothing. But even so, as soon as they entered the mixed circle, the three of them were unlucky enough to encounter a ghost tiger that was five meters long and had a cultivation level of 30,000 years.

The Ghost Tiger is known for its terrifying speed and attack power. It is one of the most powerful soul beasts. It also has a strong sense of territory and will fight to the death any opponent that intrudes into its territory.

The three of them were too lazy to cause trouble, so they quickly withdrew after confirming that they were only on the edge of the ghost tiger's territory.

This was Shu Yan's first time entering the Star Dou Great Forest. After the initial sense of novelty wore off, he was followed by a feeling of oppression.

No matter how fresh the air is or how beautiful the environment is, this is not human territory after all. Shu Yan, who is extremely sensitive to scent, can easily detect the scent of powerful soul beasts.

The three of them hurried towards the nearest marked point on the map, keeping an eye out for any powerful spirit beasts that appeared nearby. Unfortunately, aside from the ghost tiger they encountered at the beginning, they hadn't encountered any spirit beasts with a cultivation level exceeding 30,000 years. This was considered good luck, but to some extent, it was also a bad trend.

The absence of powerful soul beasts proves that the resources nearby are not abundant. All the soul beasts with spatial attributes that Shu Yan considers are not easy to deal with. Such powerful beasts generally will not live in such a resource-scarce area. What they really want is a rich territory with sufficient food and resources.

……

With a low dragon roar, a hundred-year-old violent ape was thrown out by Shu Yan with great force, and then smashed an ancient tree in half.

The tragic death of their companion did not frighten the remaining apes, but instead aroused their desire for blood. Shu Yan even saw two apes taking advantage of the opportunity when the other members of the tribe rushed towards the three of them to pounce on the corpse of their companion and start biting it. The scene was so bloody that it was shocking.

"Once these guys go crazy, they're practically devoid of intelligence. So, killing them all is the best way to solve the problem."

Han Ruoruo said calmly, then pointed his right hand into the air, and a golden rope shot up into the sky, and turned into dozens of golden halos in mid-air, falling from the sky. Each golden halo accurately trapped a violent ape, and as Han Ruoruo clenched his right fist, those golden halos suddenly shrank, and then squeezed and exploded all the violent apes, and countless blood and flesh splattered, but the three people were protected by the golden halos, so they were not touched.

Compared to Han Ruoruo's elegant and graceful fighting style, Gu Yun's fighting style is much more primitive and rough.

Her martial soul is the hidden cat, which is a mutation from an ordinary cat martial soul. She is extremely good at speed assassination, and her martial soul itself has the ability to shuttle through the shadows. This is one of the important reasons why she can stand out from the many shadow guards of the Shu family and reach this point today.

In just a moment, Gu Yun bent her body slightly, and her originally slender ten fingers turned into sharp claws. Behind her, a fluffy cat tail appeared out of thin air. Her aura not only did not surge with the release of her martial spirit, but instead weakened a little.

The next moment, Gu Yun's figure suddenly flashed, and cold light flashed across at a high speed. The next moment, more than a dozen violent apes spurted blood all over their bodies, and then fell straight down.

There were about two hundred wild apes in this group, but they were killed by three people in less than a quarter of an hour, leaving only a few big cats and small cats.

The Violent Ape King, who was in the lead and whose cultivation had reached over three thousand years, was also strangled by Shu Yan's space distortion. As for the few that escaped in the end, the three of them were too lazy to care about them, as they were harmless anyway.

After everything was settled, Shu Yan swung his sharp claws to break open the violent ape king's head, and then took away the brain, which was slightly larger than a walnut.

As one of the few ape-like soul beasts that is dumber than the King Kong Baboon, these violent apes are distributed in almost all major soul beast gathering places. They are one of the stronger low-level soul beasts, but the size of their brains is pitifully small compared to their sturdy bodies.

Such a small brain meant that its thinking was not very sharp, otherwise it would not have rushed forward mindlessly hoping to have a good meal even though Han Ruoruo and Gu Yun had already released their own aura to drive them away.

But this only means that they have bad luck. If it were an ordinary ten thousand year soul beast, it would very likely die under the siege of more than two hundred strong and violent apes.

Han Ruoruo looked at Shu Yan's actions and didn't think there was anything wrong.

Although the brain of the violent ape is small, it tastes first-rate. She was fortunate enough to see it once at an aristocratic banquet. Although it sounds a bit disgusting, it is undeniable that the taste and nutrition of this thing are indeed not bad after being cooked by a top chef.

After that, the three of them quickly left the area. After killing so many violent apes, the strong smell of blood had already drifted far away on the wind.

Although no powerful soul beasts that can threaten the three of them have been found so far, they still cannot be careless.

After all, this place is still located in the mixed circle of the Star Dou Great Forest. Who knows how many terrifying existences are hidden under the swaying shadows of those trees? What if the smell of blood attracts a hundred thousand year old soul beast that is wandering around in the mixed circle with nothing to do?

This was no joke. Although Han Ruoruo didn't want to admit it, this very real example had happened to her not long ago...
