Douluo Tang San, stop rolling around

Chapter 29 Dilemma
Early the next morning, the Shrek people got up and gathered together under the rough voice of Zhao Wuji. After having a meal together, they headed to the Star Dou Great Forest.

After entering the forest, Zhao Wuji said, "You will arrange the operation yourselves this time. I will not act rashly unless we encounter a ten thousand year old soul beast." After that, he kept silent and walked to the side of the team, handing over the command to everyone.

Dai Mubai's eyes flickered and his mind turned. He glanced at Xu Dongyang, and seeing that he didn't seem to have any intention of speaking, he suggested, "Xu Dongyang, you lead the way in front, Tang San will be in the back to provide support at any time, Ning Rongrong and Oscar will be in the middle, Xiao Wu and Ma Hongjun, you two will be in charge of the flanks, and Zhu Zhuqing and I will cover the rear. How about that?"

Xu Dongyang did not speak. He could see clearly what the other party was thinking. Although he was unhappy, he was not going to expose the other party and ruin their relationship, so he simply remained silent.

Dai Mubai still has considerable prestige in the hearts of the Shrek people. Seeing that Xu Dongyang did not refute, although there were few responses, everyone began to adjust the formation according to Dai Mubai's proposal until Zhu Zhuqing's voice sounded.

"I don't agree! As a quick attack spirit master, I have a faster speed and am more suitable for reconnaissance. I suggest that Tang San and I switch positions. As a control spirit master, it will be more advantageous for Tang San to stand at the back of the team." Zhu Zhuqing's voice was cold, and her eyes were emotionless, as if she was really making a reasonable analysis.

After thinking for a while, Tang San agreed with Zhu Zhuqing's opinion, "I think it's okay. This will indeed better play to the team's strengths. What do you think, Boss Dai?" Tang San turned to Dai Mubai and asked.

Everyone turned their heads to look. Dai Mubai's face turned pale and he could only say helplessly, "Well, that works." But his voice was a little cold, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Zhu Zhuqing seemed to want to eat her.

Zhu Zhuqing indifferently ignored the other party's eyes, walked forward and led the way for the team with Xu Dongyang.

An unknown amount of time had passed, and the Shrek group had been searching in the Star Dou Great Forest for a long time. Relying on Oscar's sausages to replenish their energy, they were not exhausted much. Only Oscar looked pale, obviously due to excessive consumption of spirit power, and was carried away by Tang San.

Tang San noticed Oscar's shortness of breath and poor condition, so he suggested to everyone, "Everyone, let's find a place to rest. Oscar can't absorb the right spirit ring even if he finds it in his current state."

Everyone stopped and looked at Oscar's condition and agreed to take a break. Oscar was helped down by Tang San with a hint of gratitude in his eyes, "Thank you everyone, I was the one who held you back."

"Oscar, we are all brothers, why are you being so polite?"

"Yeah! We can maintain sufficient physical strength thanks to your sausages. Don't say such things again!"

Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai comforted Oscar immediately. Xu Dongyang looked at this scene and thought to himself: "To be honest, although these two have many flaws in their personalities, they are indeed the leaders of the Shrek Seven Devils in terms of righteousness."

Both he and Tang San are quite mature in their inner age, and it is difficult for them to have such youthful sentimentality. They pay more attention to the cruel interests of reality than the pure and beautiful brotherhood.

As for the remaining three Shrek girls, do women understand friendship between men? Can women understand the affection between men? Wouldn't they feel childish?

(Here I originally wanted to write that women know nothing about men's friendship, but I feel that this is a bit ambiguous towards women, and I don't have a girlfriend and I don't really know what girls think. In case some female readers use this to cause trouble, I plan to be more rigorous and not start a map cannon.)
While thinking, Xu Dongyang sniffed and suddenly came to his senses: "Do you smell any fragrance?" After saying that, he sniffed carefully and kept walking around to find the source of the smell.

After hearing Xu Dongyang's words, everyone also sensed it carefully. Tang San frowned slightly and said, "It smells a bit like plant medicine, and also a bit of fruit. It's in the northwest direction." After speaking, he raised his hand and pointed to a direction.

Everyone looked confused. This had never happened before. Ma Hongjun was a little excited and asked, "Is it some kind of treasure?"

Everyone rolled their eyes. Ma Hongjun was a little confused. "Isn't it?"

Xu Dongyang then began to explain: "Divine objects are naturally hidden. There are many soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. Natural treasures like these that exude an alluring aura have long been eaten by soul beasts, and it is not our turn. Most of the real natural treasures are not very eye-catching." In addition to the magic grass in the eyes of Binghuo Liangyin, Xu Dongyang added silently in his heart at the end.

"Something must be wrong when it's out of the ordinary. I'll go see what's going on." Xu Dongyang turned around and left in the direction Tang San pointed before anyone could speak. Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment and followed closely, "I'll go with him so we can look after each other."

Before anyone could speak out to stop them, they saw the two figures disappear into the jungle, leaving only two sentences echoing in everyone's ears.

Everyone stopped trying to stop them, since they were strong enough to protect themselves. Only Dai Mubai was uneasy as he watched the two men leave. Although he knew nothing would happen to them, he still felt very uncomfortable seeing Zhu Zhuqing and the other men leave alone. On the other side, Xu Dongyang walked two kilometers after leaving the crowd. It seemed far, but for a soul master, it only took a few minutes. Soon he came to a fruit forest.

What comes into view are dozens of fruit trees of the same variety. The trees are shaped like willow trees with lush branches, but the strange thing is that the trunks and branches are dark red, and the treetops are covered with dozens of bright red fruits of various sizes, shaped like peaches. Their color is rosy and bright as blood, and the fragrance comes from these fruits.

Xu Dongyang stood there looking at the woods without making any rash moves. The atmosphere here made him feel indescribably weird and a little too dead. Soon Zhu Zhuqing followed him from behind.

"Is this where the fragrance comes from?" Zhu Zhuqing looked around and soon saw the colorful, smooth and round fruits on the tree. The girl was simple-minded and approached the fruit tree without thinking much. She stood under the tree and looked up at the fruits on the tree.

Xu Dongyang wanted to remind her, but he couldn't tell what was strange, and he could provide support immediately if something really happened, so he just stood by and watched Zhu Zhuqing's every move.

Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing under the tree and watching, suddenly felt the fruit in front of her eyes glowing and her eyes suddenly became blurred. Xu Dongyang at the side shouted in surprise, "Be careful!" From his perspective, the branches of the surrounding fruit trees suddenly squirmed and wrapped around Zhu Zhuqing.

Xu Dongyang rushed forward, but at this time other fruit trees around him extended their branches to block him. Seeing Zhu Zhuqing trapped like a dumpling, Xu Dongyang opened fire in a hurry.

"Second soul skill - Fury!"

"Self-created soul skill - lightning and flint!"

"Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's External Soul Bone—Dark Gold Terror Claw!"

There was a flash of lightning on his body, and a ten-centimeter dark golden claw grew out of his right hand, emitting sharp dark golden claw light. With his lightning speed and sharp attack, he cut through the encirclement woven by branches and quickly broke through to approach Zhu Zhuqing.

The two were not far from each other, only a few dozen meters away. In a flash, Xu Dongyang arrived in front of Zhu Zhuqing in two breaths. He swung his right claw upwards, cutting off the branches of the magic tree connected to Zhu Zhuqing. Then he turned his wrist and swung the claw downwards to tear apart the branches that were wrapped around Zhu Zhuqing.

Then he reached forward with his left hand, grabbed the opponent's arm and pulled him away, and hurriedly shouted, "You retreat first, I will help you block the attack!"

"I have no strength left. My soul power has been sucked dry." Zhu Zhuqing's weak voice came.

When Xu Dongyang turned around, he saw that the other person's face was pale and exhausted. The attack of the magic trees had already arrived. In a hurry, he grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's hand and pulled her into his arms, hugged her waist tightly, and his body flashed with lightning as he dodged the willow branches that attacked from all directions.

The number of these willow branches was astonishing, but their strength and toughness were also average. Xu Dongyang could easily break through them with his speed and the sharpness of his dark gold claws, but now he was holding Zhu Zhuqing, which slowed down his speed and made it difficult for him to move, and he was trapped in place by the willow branches for a while.

Seeing more and more willow branches around him, he said solemnly: "It's hard for me to perform if I hold you, I'll carry you on my back, and you hold me tight."

Zhu Zhuqing leaned against his chest, feeling the manly scent and comfortable body temperature. Her heart was beating fast, and her face was flushed unconsciously. She looked up at his handsome and heroic face and said in a low voice, "Hmm!"

Zhu Zhuqing then took the initiative to cooperate and jumped up behind Xu Dongyang, hooking her hands around his neck. After a slight hesitation, she gritted her teeth and crossed her legs around his waist. Perhaps the posture was too ambiguous and made her shy. Her originally pale cheeks were flushed as she pressed against his back and dared not show her head.

Xu Dongyang felt the heavy pressure from Zhu Zhuqing's impressive figure behind him. He closed his eyes, gathered his mind, concentrated all his soul power on his right hand, and said in a deep voice:

"External Soul Bone Active Skill—Dark Gold Terror Claw!"

The sharp claws on his right hand suddenly grew to thirty centimeters long and emitted a dark golden light. He swung his right hand violently from top to bottom. Five golden claw rays split the earth like thunder, tearing all the willow branches in front of him into pieces, leaving five hideous cracks on the ground.
