Douluo Continent: I Have No Thieves Under Heaven, the Explosive King Returns

Chapter 38 The Thieving and Weasel-like Strength: The Titan Ape Appears
Even with the sun high in the sky, the morning mist in the Starry Sky Forest had not completely dissipated on its outskirts.

"No Thieves Under Heaven" led the way, and the Domain of Wind silently unfolded.

In an instant, every wisp of breeze within a radius of several hundred meters became an extension of his perception.

Not only could the lurking spirit beasts be clearly seen, but even the crawling of insects and ants under the fallen leaves could be clearly discerned.

"Boss, which spirit beast should I choose to absorb for my third spirit ring?" The shifty-eyed man rubbed his hands together and leaned closer, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.

"The Demon King excels in close combat, and its balanced offense and defense are most suitable for your fighting style. We should first consider a soul beast that excels in both defense and offense."

His usual shifty-eyed fighting style mostly involves attacking from a distance with flying blade rock-breaking slashes, but that doesn't mean he's good at long-range attacks.

The main reason was that there was a stronger Thief in the team, so in order not to cause trouble, he kept supporting from a distance with Flying Blade Rock-Breaking Slash.

In fact, the fighting style of Magic King has always been mainly close-quarters combat.

The shifty-eyed man chuckled, "I'll do whatever you say, Big Brother. It would be even better if it had a bit of a ghostly effect, otherwise I always feel out of place with you guys."

The corner of Tianxia Wuzei's mouth twitched, but upon closer reflection, it seemed to be true.

They all have some rather sinister soul skills, while their sneaky and shifty moves are more upright and honorable.

"Alright, I'll find you a soul beast from the 'underworld'."

Upon hearing this, the shifty-eyed man's eyes lit up with excitement, and he started circling around the thief-free man: "Boss, I knew you'd spoil me the most!"

After continuing deeper into the Starry Sky Forest for several dozen miles, Tianxia Wuzei suddenly stopped.

"Fourth brother, your wish has come true."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground trembled, and a soul beast more than three meters long burst out of the ground, its scales oozing purplish-black venom, and the vegetation withered wherever it passed.

After seeing its size clearly, Tianxia Wuzei said, "It's a rock-corroding beast that's over three meters tall and about 1,800 years old, just what you need."

"An armored beast?" The shifty-eyed man was somewhat disappointed, feeling it was just a regular soul beast.

The Thief Under Heaven chuckled and patted his head: "Remember, the real underworld is often hidden in the most righteous and honorable moves. Don't forget that in front of it are the words 'Rotting Rock'."

The shifty-eyed man seemed to have an idea, and grinned, "Boss, let me take care of it myself!"

"Alright, go ahead. Let me see if your skills have declined!"

The Thief Under Heaven highly recognized his strength; he should be able to easily handle an 1,800-year-old soul beast.

With his thieving, rat-like eyes and the Demon King's Martial Soul infused, he instantly rushed out.

The Rock-Rotting Mountain Beast roared, its scales burst open, and countless poisonous thorns rained down upon it.

With a sly smile, he used Earth Escape Technique to instantly disappear underground.

"Flying Blade Rock-Splitting Claw!"

With a loud bang, the ground exploded.

He slammed his claw into the jaw of the Rock-Rotting Pangolin, sending it flying several meters.

The Rock-Rotting Pangolin rolled to its feet, but found no sign of the thief-like creature.

Unexpectedly, the thieving creature with shifty eyes had already sneaked up behind them like a ghost, its sharp claws aimed straight for their backs!
"clang!"

Driven by the instinct for survival, the Rock-Rotting Pangolin curled into a ball, its hard armor blocking the attack.

Seeing his attack blocked, the thieving rat's eyes burned with even stronger fighting spirit, and his fists and claws rained down like a storm.

"Bang bang bang!"

The ground cracked, and the scales of the Rock-Rotting Pangolin were crumbling inch by inch!

"Roar!"

The Rock-Rotting Pangolin was enraged, its scales covered in a layer of purplish-black slime, instantly forming a poisonous mist around it.

The shifty-eyed creature was forced to retreat, but it grinned maliciously and turned to Ning Rongrong: "Help me, and I'll finish it off with one strike!"

Ning Rongrong realized it too late, but she still managed to assist in an instant.

With shifty eyes, he leaped up, drew his sword, and raised it to the sky, the Fiery Cloud Blade summoning heavenly thunder.

"Flying Blade Rock-Splitting Slash!"

The blade flashed like thunder, tearing through the poisonous mist.

The chilling blade flashed as it struck the rock-corroding pangolin, sending dirt flying and dust billowing into the air.

After the dust settled, a purple soul ring floated up from its body.

With shifty eyes and a cunning expression, he sheathed his sword and stood there, everything seeming so natural.

"So, he's that strong!" Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were stunned. It turned out that the shifty-eyed man was not an ordinary person.

It's just that the brilliance of "No Thieves Under Heaven" was so overwhelming that his brilliance wasn't as dazzling.

With the strength of a level 30 Quasi-Soul Master, he effortlessly dealt with a thousand-year-old soul beast; his combat power was simply terrifying.

After all, a certain level 29 Great Soul Master couldn't even defeat a mere 400-year-old Mandragora Serpent.

"No Thief Under Heaven" stepped forward and patted the shifty-eyed man on the shoulder, saying, "Stop showing off, hurry up and absorb the soul ring."

"Hehe, boss, I'm off right now!"

The shifty-eyed creature quickly moved closer and began absorbing the purple soul ring from its body.

The Thief Under Heaven continues to expand the Wind Domain, searching for a suitable soul beast for his fourth soul ring.

"My fourth spirit ring still needs to absorb strength and speed-type spirit beasts, so that I can maximize the power of the Overlord Chasing Wind Fist."

He continued searching within a radius of several hundred meters, but after searching around, he found nothing suitable.

After all, this is only the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, where thousand-year-old soul beasts can be considered local overlords.

Aside from the Rock-Rotting Mountain Beast, we need to venture deeper to find soul beasts of even greater age.

There was no other way but to calm down and wait for the cunning and sly creature to finish absorbing the soul beast before continuing the search.

While waiting, the voice of the Lion Douluo exploded in Tianxia Wuzei's mind like thunder.

"Kid, that's amazing! The Titan Ape has really appeared on the outskirts!"

A slight smile played on Tianxia Wuzei's lips, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

The 100,000-year-old soul bone is finally about to be obtained!

He tapped his temple with his fingertips and transmitted his voice: "Keep a close eye on it. Once the fourth brother has finished absorbing it, immediately close the net."

"Hahaha!" The Lion Douluo's laughter shook his mind. "Qianjun and Jiangmo have gone to block the road! Since this beast dared to come out, he won't be able to leave alive! Wait..."

His voice suddenly turned stern: "The Titan Ape attacked the Shrek Academy people! Tang Hao is guarding there!"

Not long ago, on the other side of the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Just like in the original story, Tang San helped Oscar take the Phoenix Tail Crested Serpent from Meng Yiran.

Seeing that Oscar had finished absorbing the spirit ring, Zhao Wuji urged in a hoarse voice, "Tang San, quickly decide what spirit beast you need."

Tang San was displeased by the urging, but he still had to rely on Zhao Wuji.

"Teacher Zhao, I want..."

Just now.

"boom!"

Behind the camp, two towering ancient trees, each requiring several people to encircle, suddenly tilted to either side, as if torn apart by an invisible giant hand.

Amidst the violent tremors of the ground, a black shadow the size of a small mountain burst through the dust and appeared before everyone.

It was a colossal beast, its entire body as black as ink, its muscles bulging like iron and stone, and its pair of scarlet eyes as large as lanterns, gleaming with a terrifying ferocity.

It resembles an ape, but is larger and more terrifying than any gorilla.

Just by standing there, he made the surrounding air seem to freeze.

"The King of the Forest, the Titan Giant Ape?!" Tang San's pupils shrank, and his voice trembled slightly with shock.

Unlike the horrified reactions of the others, a hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Wu's eyes.

She immediately transmitted her voice, "Erming, don't hurt my friend. Take me away quickly, I have a mission for you."

The Titan Ape walked over docilely, ready to do as Xiao Wu had said.

But just as its gaze swept over Tang San's right leg, it sensed the aura of another 100,000-year-old soul beast, and its beastly eyes suddenly erupted with boundless fury!

"Roar!"

The deafening roar overturned the surrounding trees, startled birds and beasts, and caused all the surrounding spirit beasts to flee in panic.

Suddenly, the Titan Ape sprang up, its mountain-like fist, accompanied by a hurricane, smashing down on Tang San's head!
At the same time, the voice of Lion Douluo had just fallen into Tianxia Wuzei's mind.

A deafening roar rang out, clearly heard by all the creatures on the periphery.

"No Thief Under Heaven" narrowed his eyes and muttered, "This commotion? The Titan Giant Ape and Tang San are really fighting?!"
