Douluo—Chapter 69: The Final Layout, Ye Renxin: Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast?!
Star Dou Great Forest, core area.
The sky is as thick as ink, and the stars are twinkling.
The crescent moon is cold, and its light filters through the dense branches and leaves, casting mottled patches of moonlight.
In the distance, long and faint deer calls mingle with the crisp calls of some herbivorous soul beasts.
At this moment, Dai Chengfeng looked at the two huge monsters lying on the ground—the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape—and said, "I'm back."
"Can we go now?"
Da Ming looked up at the inky sky and nodded. "Let's go!"
"Finally, we can send this human away. He could be killed with one slap, but we can't hit him. I'm so angry!"
Er Ming's voice was a little excited.
Dai Chengfeng smiled and jumped onto Er Ming's shoulder in a few steps. "Since you're eager to send me off, let's go now!"
"Human, I am a noble 100,000-year-old soul beast!"
Er Ming looked at Dai Chengfeng standing on his shoulder, a little annoyed.
"Then I'll go by myself?"
"But that might take many days to get out."
Hearing this, Da Ming looked at Er Ming. "Old Second, just bear with it for a while. After all, don't you want him to leave as soon as possible?"
"But big brother, why don't you carry him?"
Er Ming still hesitated.
"You have the broadest shoulders, the greatest strength, and the most stability..."
The Azure Bull Python spoke directly, and smoothly.
"Is that so? Okay then."
Er Ming's voice was a bit happier, and he stopped hesitating. He turned his head and said to Dai Chengfeng in a muffled voice, "Human, you stand firm!"
"Okay!"
Dai Chengfeng used his soul power to grasp the dark golden hair of the Titan Giant Ape.
In the next moment—
Swish—!
Endless winds blew, Er Ming's muscles bulged all over, and then he leaped like an arrow from a bow, disappearing into a large forest.
Da Ming followed closely behind.
Dai Chengfeng felt the endless wind blowing through his long hair and clothes, and his eyes were filled with a natural sense of excitement.
'For my third soul ring, should I consider a wind-attribute soul beast?'
Dai Chengfeng shook his head. 'Forget it, don't think too much about it for now.'
After all, it will take some time to obtain the third soul ring, and the most urgent thing now is how to safely get out of the Star Dou Great Forest under the threat of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
Thinking of this, he looked at Er Ming.
"Wait until I leave the Star Dou Great Forest, and you will help me guard nearby until dawn."
"Although the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's ability is strange, its soul power isn't as strong as yours. It has no skills to completely hide its soul power, so it's impossible to fully escape your perception..."
"If it comes after me, drive it back."
Hearing this, Er Ming immediately retorted, "Why, human? That's not within the scope of our previous agreement..."
"I can tell you where Xiao Wu is now!"
Hearing Dai Chengfeng's words, Er Ming was delighted. "Where is Sister Xiao Wu?"
"Deal!"
Da Ming agreed immediately.
He was worried he wouldn't find Xiao Wu quickly, but he didn't expect Dai Chengfeng to be willing to tell him her exact location.
Thinking of this, Da Ming looked at Dai Chengfeng with a complicated expression.
If this human isn't lying, then it seems he has no intention of killing Xiao Wu and absorbing her as his soul ring.
He doesn't seem as annoying as ordinary humans.
Maybe in the future...
At this moment, the Star Dou Great Forest was approaching its core area. A dark demon evil god tiger, with a pure black body and a strange aura, sensed the Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape leaving with a faint and familiar evil aura. A flash of disappointment and helplessness crossed its blood-red eyes.
It seemed to be saying: "This human really won't give me any chance. Damn it!"
But its figure disappeared instantly, shuttling through the woods, blending into the night without a sound.
Only the blood-red tiger's eyes flickered with a complex light.
"If these two idiots wait for this human to leave and then return directly, I will have... one last chance!"

Star Dou Forest, Middle Region
Zhu Fan, Ye Renxin, and Ye Lingling sat around a campfire. The flames crackled as they burned the trees, and the firelight illuminated their cheeks.
No one smiled; all seemed worried.
"Now, it's completely dark..."
Ye Lingling suddenly spoke, frowning. Her eyes were full of anxiety and worry. "There's still no news from Chengfeng."
She looked at Zhu Fan. "Commander Zhu Fan, aren't you worried at all?"
"Chengfeng is just like me—only a soul grandmaster, not a soul Douluo like you. It will take many days to get out of this Star Dou Great Forest."
"Even if we have to wait, we should wait where we are, not here!"
As she said this, she stamped her foot slightly, her face full of confusion about Zhu Fan's actions.
Hearing this, Zhu Fan took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently as if trying to suppress the turmoil in his heart.
He slowly raised his head. "I am worried. How could I not be?"
"I've watched Chengfeng grow up. I care more about him than anyone else!"
Ye Renxin shook his head. "If you're so worried, why did you choose to leave without hesitation? That's hard to understand."
Zhu Fan's mouth slightly lifted, as if lost in memory. "You've only known Chengfeng for a short time, and you don't understand him yet."
"One day, you will understand why I made that choice."
"Obeying Chengfeng's orders is the best way to protect him. If we act rashly, we might cause trouble for him..."
Zhu Fan's eyes showed absolute trust in Chengfeng.
"You're so stubborn you can't help it."
After hearing Zhu Fan's words, Ye Renxin sighed helplessly. "That tiger soul beast still makes my skin crawl just thinking about it."
"How can His Highness Chengfeng survive if he faces it alone?"
"You'll regret it then..."
Before Ye Renxin finished speaking, the ground suddenly began to shake without warning.
At the same time, a terrifying, oppressive feeling emerged from the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Instantly, Zhu Fan and Ye Renxin's faces changed. But before they could react—
The next second, the earth trembled again.
Without warning, the three saw two enormous black beast shadows emerge in the endless dark sea of forests.
"Hundred-thousand-year... soul beast?"
Ye Renxin's legs felt weak, his teeth trembling uncontrollably. He swallowed hard. "And... two?!"
"I just wanted to come here to find an external soul bone for my granddaughter..."
"But first, it was the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger that made me unable to resist, and now I have to face two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts..."
Ye Renxin was doubting his life at this moment.
When did a Soul Douluo become so helpless?
Meanwhile, Ye Lingling's eyes weren't panicked—in fact, they were full of surprise.
She pointed excitedly at one of the black beast shadows. "Grandpa, look..."
