Chapter 125: The Miserable Elephant Armor Sect
At this moment, the Sky Blue Bull Python suddenly let out a huge roar, shaking the entire Star Dou Forest. Even Lin Gong felt a chill run down his spine.
The Sky Blue Bull Python truly deserved to be called the King of the Forest. With just one roar, the entire core area of the Star Dou Forest fell into silence. The beast roars that had been echoing moments before all disappeared.
The Sky Blue Bull Python's enormous eyes fixed on Lin Gong, and a voice filled with immense authority came from its mouth: "Human, are you the one challenging me?"
Lin Gong felt his scalp tingle upon hearing this, unsure whether to move forward or remain still.
At this moment, Yang Xiong, though under immense pressure, gritted his teeth and spoke up: "Sky Blue Bull Python, we didn't come here to find you. We're here to find Xiao Wu."
The Sky Blue Bull Python roared again: "Human, you know Xiao Wu? Are you trying to harm her?"
Yang Xiong forced a smile: "Xiao Wu and I are classmates. We came to the Star Dou Forest just to visit her. Don't worry, I mean no harm to you."
The Sky Blue Bull Python seemed to be puzzled but let out another massive roar, as if calling for something.
Sure enough, shortly after, a huge roar came from afar, radiating with boundless energy.
Before long, the ground began to shake, and a massive Titan Giant Ape charged out of the woods. The Titan Giant Ape was over fifteen meters tall, its body as solid as granite, radiating immense power.
Surprisingly, a little girl was sitting on the Titan Giant Ape's shoulder. This little girl, with her long figure, was none other than Xiao Wu, who had escaped from Soul Master City that very day.
Xiao Wu saw Yang Xiong from afar and was immediately puzzled: "Little Xiong, why are you here in the Star Dou Forest?"
Yang Xiong's face darkened at this nickname. Xiao Wu had such a good relationship with Ning Rongrong that she even called him "Little Bear," which made Yang Xiong feel quite embarrassed.
Yang Xiong helplessly smiled: "When I saw you back at Soul Master City, I thought you wouldn't escape. I didn't expect you'd look so happy now. Do you think there's no danger in this forest?"
Xiao Wu looked smug: "Of course! Who can harm me in the Star Dou Forest? Da Ming and Er Ming are very powerful."
Yang Xiong replied: "Can you get off the Titan Giant Ape? It's a bit uncomfortable talking like this."
Xiao Wu finally looked at the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Blue Bull Python: "Da Ming, Er Ming, this is my classmate. They won't harm me."
The previously terrifying Sky Blue Bull Python now seemed somewhat gentler, its voice low and deep: "Xiao Wu, humans are not to be trusted. This guy doesn't look like a good person."
Yang Xiong's face darkened, but Xiao Wu didn't seem to care: "Don't worry, Da Ming. Though Little Bear isn't exactly a good person, he won't harm me. If he did, he wouldn't be able to explain it to Rongrong."
At this moment, Yang Xiong couldn't help but feel speechless. How was he not a good person?
The Titan Giant Ape, although still puzzled, carefully lifted Xiao Wu off its shoulder with its giant hand.
Yang Xiong rolled his eyes at the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Blue Bull Python. These two 100,000-year soul beasts looked incredibly powerful, yet they were acting so submissively in front of a little girl like Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu walked over to Yang Xiong, smiling brightly: "Little Bear, how did you end up in the Star Dou Forest?"
Yang Xiong smiled: "Xiao Wu, don't you remember? I was already level 40 during the Soul Master competition. I came to the Star Dou Forest to hunt a soul ring. But now, I've already finished collecting my soul rings."
Xiao Wu's face darkened: "You humans are so bad, always hunting our soul beasts."
Yang Xiong sighed: "What can I do about it? Didn't your third brother also hunt soul beasts?"
Xiao Wu immediately retorted: "Third brother only hunts bad soul beasts, unlike you, Little Bear. By the way, didn't that old witch in Soul Master City mess with you?"
Yang Xiong smiled: "At least I have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect behind me. Bibidon hasn't reached the point of turning on me yet."
...
The two talked for a while about their recent situations, particularly about the Shrek team.
Xiao Wu became a little sad upon hearing this: "Little Bear, did Uncle Oscar return with you to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Did Teacher Zhao come with you too?"
Yang Xiong nodded: "Oscar and Teacher Zhao are both with me at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. But Oscar will probably head out to train soon. Teacher Zhao is staying to teach me combat skills."
Xiao Wu frowned: "Only rich people like you do things like that."
"By the way, you didn't come here just to see me, right? Do you have other things to do?"
Yang Xiong's expression turned serious: "Xiao Wu, do you still remember Bibidon from Soul Master City?"
Xiao Wu's face darkened immediately: "That woman is my greatest enemy. I'll take revenge on her sooner or later. Why do you ask?"
Yang Xiong smiled: "Do you remember Huyan Zhen from the Elephant Armor Sect? He's Bibidon's number one supporter."
Xiao Wu thought for a moment: "I think I've heard Third Brother talk about him. He should be Huyan Li's grandfather. I heard he's not a good person."
Yang Xiong nodded: "Exactly. The Elephant Armor Sect has always supported Bibidon. This time, Teacher Lin and I came to the Star Dou Forest to collect soul rings and just happened to see the Elephant Armor Sect in the core area, hunting soul rings. Since they are your enemies, I wanted to inform you."
Xiao Wu frowned: "Little Bear, you've always been so sneaky. Could it be that the Elephant Armor Sect is also your enemy, and you want to use us to get rid of them?"
Yang Xiong smiled: "There's no need to use you. The Elephant Armor Sect and the Spirit Hall are enemies of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and they're your enemies too. They are our common enemies. Shouldn't we be on the same side?"
Xiao Wu raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean by that?"
Yang Xiong smiled: "The Elephant Armor Sect has sent three Soul Douluos and nine Soul Saints. They've mobilized a large portion of their top experts. If they all fall here, wouldn't that be a major blow to Bibidon?"
Xiao Wu's lips curled into a snarl: "You're still trying to use me to eliminate your enemies. I see you're no good."
Yang Xiong shook his head: "These are my enemies, and yours too. Besides, they're the ones who've come here in force to hunt soul beasts. Aren't they making enemies of the entire soul beast tribe?"
Xiao Wu looked conflicted, her face showing anger, hatred, and suspicion.
After a long pause, Xiao Wu finally spoke: "What exactly do you have in mind? You're not trying to get us to act while you play the opportunist, are you?"
Yang Xiong smiled: "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect isn't yet in a position to confront the Spirit Hall and the Elephant Armor Sect head-on. But we can use money, and I owe you a small favor. I will repay you in the future."
"Here, in the core of the Star Dou Forest, it's normal for soul masters hunting soul rings to be attacked by soul beasts. If the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Blue Bull Python attack, you could summon a large number of soul beasts to help attack the Elephant Armor Sect. Of course, you should refrain from fighting personally, as you might still need to navigate the human world in the future."
Xiao Wu clenched her teeth: "Fine, I'll take revenge on Bibidon. Since the Elephant Armor Sect is her lackey, I'll eliminate them first."
After the two had discussed the matter, Yang Xiong's golden soul coins and food were all taken by Xiao Wu, who then happily left.
Xiao Wu whispered something to the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Blue Bull Python. Though these two 100,000-year soul beasts had hesitated at first, after hearing that the Elephant Armor Sect members were Bibidon's subordinates, they had no further reservations.
The two 100,000-year soul beasts, along with Xiao Wu, Yang Xiong, and Lin Gong, quietly moved toward the Elephant Armor Sect's group. The Titan Giant Ape and Sky Blue Bull Python carefully controlled their sound and moved silently through the forest.
Yang Xiong was a bit puzzled. Despite their huge sizes, the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Blue Bull Python were acting so stealthily. Truly, they were top-tier, high-intelligence soul beasts.
As the group drew closer, the Elephant Armor Sect seemed to sense something was wrong. After all, top-tier soul beasts had immense deterrent power over the common beasts in the area. The entire surrounding area became quiet.
Huyan Zhen, a top-tier Soul Douluo, immediately detected the anomaly: "Who goes there? Are you planning to ambush the Elephant Armor Sect?"
He summoned his massive Diamond Mammoth, its two yellow, two purple, and four black soul rings emanating power, adding to the pressure on the surrounding trees.
But before he could speak further, the Titan Giant Ape emerged from the woods, shaking the ground beneath them.
Huyan Zhen stood stunned. He hadn't expected that during a soul beast hunt, they would be met by the King of the Forest.
Huyan Zhen seemed to want to negotiate: "Respectful Titan Giant Ape, we mean no harm. Please allow us to leave."
The others looked on nervously, quickly summoning their martial souls and soul rings. They looked powerful and well-trained, clearly high-ranking members of the Elephant Armor Sect.
But the Titan Giant Ape ignored Huyan Zhen and let out a huge roar, charging at him with a massive fist. The ground cracked beneath the force of the blow.
Huyan Zhen's eyes widened in shock. He quickly activated his fourth soul skill, "Death Crush," and the Diamond Mammoth unleashed its tremendous strength.
However, the power Huyan Zhen exerted was far too weak compared to the Titan Giant Ape's, who had already reached the level of a 95th-level Title Douluo. A single strike sent Huyan Zhen flying, and several others were knocked back by the force.
The Elephant Armor Sect members exchanged glances and immediately summoned their martial souls in their true forms. Countless Diamond Mammoths appeared, looking vicious.
At this point, they were all furious, realizing that their soul ring absorption process was being interrupted, which could cause them to fail.
The members of the Elephant Armor Sect split into two groups: some continued to guard the soul ring absorption, while Huyan Zhen led a Soul Douluo and prepared to resist the Titan Giant Ape.
But just then, a blue light flashed from the shadows, resembling terrifying lightning, and struck the Elephant Armor Sect from behind.
Serpents were among the forest's most terrifying predators, with extraordinary stealth abilities. Even when close, it was nearly impossible to detect them. Their strikes were quick and deadly.
The Sky Blue Bull Python, a 100,000-year soul beast, had terrifying attack power. With one strike, even though the Elephant Armor Sect members fought back fiercely, several of them were struck by the Sky Blue Bull Python's lightning.
The Elephant Armor Sect was filled with despair, as they hadn't expected the Sky Blue Bull Python to appear. This soul beast hunt had turned into a disaster for them.
The Sky Blue Bull Python moved with lightning speed, coiling around one of the Soul Douluos. Even though the Soul Douluo activated his eighth soul skill, his body was already weakened from the lightning strike. Adding to this, the Sky Blue Bull Python was too powerful, and it shredded him into pieces.
Meanwhile, the Titan Giant Ape grew even more ferocious, relentlessly attacking Huyan Zhen and the others.
...
The battle raged on for over ten minutes, and the Elephant Armor Sect suffered tremendous losses. Only Huyan Zhen and a few others managed to escape, while most of their members fell on the spot.
