Douluo V: Taking advantage of Xiao Wu's naivety, I tricked her into becoming my wife.

In other words, as long as you have the "Thousand Faces" ability, almost no one on the entire continent can associate the actions of "others" with him!

Ye Hua composed himself and gently patted Xiao Wu's hand.

"Don't rush, the best is yet to come."

Tang San and Yu Xiaogang spent the entire day wandering around the Soul Hunter Forest.

They encountered an 80-year-old wind baboon, but Yu Xiaogang shook his head, saying it wasn't compatible with Blue Silver Grass. When they came across a 100-year-old ghost vine, Yu Xiaogang still felt that the age wasn't old enough.

After finally finding a two-hundred-year-old red-banded snake, Yu Xiaogang hesitated for a moment, but ultimately shook his head.

The fire poison of the Crimson Serpent clashes with the wood attribute of the Blue Silver Grass, so the power of the soul skill will be reduced after absorption.

The only suitable weapon is a 30-year-old lone bamboo, which has no offensive capabilities and can be easily dealt with even by a woodcutter with a machete.

Tang San's patience was gradually worn down.

From dawn till midday, we walk until the sun is high in the sky, from noon until the sun begins to set.

His broken leg throbbed with pain, the splint chafing his skin raw, and every step he took felt like walking on a knife's edge.

"Teacher..." Tang San, leaning on his wooden crutch, panted, "It's getting dark."

Yu Xiaogang looked up at the sky, his brows furrowing into a deep frown.

The night in the Soul Hunter Forest is ten times more dangerous than the day, as most soul beasts are nocturnal.

After dark, the roles of hunter and prey can be reversed at any moment!

But can they leave?

No, because the Soul Hunter Forest can only be entered once a year.

If you miss this opportunity, the only way to obtain a spirit ring will be to go to the more dangerous Sunset Forest or Star Dou Great Forest.

It's even more dangerous there!

"Xiao San, let's set up camp and rest here," Yu Xiaogang sighed. "Tomorrow we'll go further in; there's an area with a high concentration of soul beasts there, maybe—"

Before he could finish speaking, Luo Sanpao suddenly pricked up his ears, his pig nose twitched wildly forward, and a low whimper came from his throat.

Yu Xiaogang's expression changed drastically!

Ye Hua also suddenly perked up!

coming!

From the depths of the tree shadows, a scarlet vertical pupil lit up, and a black shadow, as thick as an oil drum and seven or eight meters long, darted out!

Chapter 13 Tang San's Mentality Explodes

A four-hundred-year-old mandala serpent!

It swam from between two ancient trees!

The dark green scales gleamed with a cold luster in the twilight, and the cold, vertical pupils on the triangular snake head were fixed on Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.

The snake flicked its tongue, making a hissing sound.

Yu Xiaogang's forehead instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

Four hundred years was beyond his capabilities, especially as darkness was approaching!

"Little San, get ready!" Yu Xiaogang threw out a mask and formed hand seals, "Three Cannons of Heaven-Shattering Strike!"

Luo Sanpao turned around, his plump rear end facing the datura snake, his belly bulging—

"run."

Ye Hua grabbed Xiao Wu and ran away, almost dragging Xiao Wu down with his speed.

She staggered to catch up, about to ask a question, when a deafening thud suddenly came from behind her.

A few hundred meters away in the woods, a mushroom cloud of yellowish-brown color was slowly rising.

Even from a distance, the smell wafted over, like stinky socks that hadn't been washed for three hundred years, boiled in swill, and then mixed with rotten eggs that had been fermenting for half a year.

"Hold your breath and keep running!"

Ye Hua decisively led Xiao Wu to retreat two miles away, ensuring that the stench would not spread before they could breathe freely.

"Brother," Xiao Wu trembled, still shaken by the ordeal, "how did you know...?"

"Just a guess," Ye Hua said without changing his expression.

Looking at his calm face, Xiao Wu knew that Ye Hua couldn't say anything, so she didn't ask any further questions.

"But, is it enough for us to just wear masks?"

"What if Tang San and the others disappear without a trace? Wouldn't your plan fall apart?"

Without hesitation, Ye Hua replied, "We have to run!"

"Xiao Wu, you may not know this, but the reason we can smell is because things emit something called molecules, which permeate the air."

"When molecules enter our nasal cavity, they allow us to perceive them, which is how we can judge smells, such as the smell of meat, the smell of roses, and Xiaowu's body fragrance."

Seeing that Ye Hua was becoming increasingly audacious, Xiao Wu quickly covered his mouth.

"Stop, stop, stop! If you say another word... I'm going to get angry!"

“Alright,” Ye Hua readily agreed, “then I’ll continue our previous topic.”

"We can smell farts because farts also release molecules."

"If we open our mouths and swallow molecules, that's called eating farts."

"If you open your mouth while using the toilet..."

Xiao Wu's eyes widened.

Ye Hua then abruptly changed the subject.

"It's nothing. Who would be so idle as to open their mouth when going to the toilet?"

Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

"But the molecules will still stick to the clothes, just like the jar used to pickle stinky tofu will smell terrible..."

"Ye Hua!!!!!"

Xiao Wu got angry.

"Okay, okay, I admit I was wrong. I'll treat you to a carrot feast when we get back."

"Now we need to check on Tang San. We won't kill him, but we'll at least teach him a lesson."

"Let him understand that my Xiao Wu is not someone anyone can covet, and I, Ye Hua, am not someone to be bullied!"

Xiao Wu nodded. "Brother, your original plan was to prevent Tang San from obtaining a spirit ring, but now it seems..."

"Tang San would be lucky to even survive, let alone obtain a spirit ring!"

“Then let’s go back and take a look,” Ye Hua shrugged, his expression righteous. “Tang San is our classmate, after all. Even if he was killed by a snake, we can’t just leave his body to rot in the wilderness, can we?”

Once the yellowish-brown mushroom cloud had completely dissipated, Ye Hua led Xiao Wu back slowly.

The clearing in the woods was in a mess.

Luo Sanpao lay slumped at Yu Xiaogang's feet, his tongue lolling out, barely breathing and his fat body rising and falling weakly.

Yu Xiaogang leaned against a tree trunk, his face pale and his lips purple.

The poisonous mist from the datura snake struck unexpectedly, leaving him no time to react.

The toxins seeped into the bloodstream through the respiratory tract, causing numbness on half of my body.

In the center of the open space.

Tang San knelt on one knee, gripping a dagger in his left hand, panting heavily.

The bandage on my right arm came undone, the splint was tilted to one side, and I felt a piercing pain from the broken bone. Blood was flowing down my sleeve.

But when Xiao Wu saw Tang San panting heavily, her first reaction was not that evil would be punished, but rather that she felt sympathy!

The shock of Luo Sanpao's fart hadn't even dissipated yet, and the intense battle had forced him to gasp for breath again. Does that mean...?

The datura snake was coiled five meters away from him, its dark green scales bearing several white marks left by a dagger, and blood was spurting from its mouth.

That was the only effective damage Tang San inflicted, shooting the hidden arrow into the snake's mouth and piercing its palate.

Tang San gritted his teeth. His hidden arrow was equipped with barbs that could bleed the snake profusely. If he could just stall for a few more minutes, the snake's spirit ring would be his for the taking!

On the surface, his face was deathly pale, his breathing was disordered, and he looked like he was about to die in the snake's mouth.

In fact, the Xuan Tian Gong has a strong ability to recover energy. It can recover while fighting and can last for half an hour without any problem!

Just as Tang San was preparing to wear down the Mandragora Serpent...

A dark golden light swept past him!

The dragon-patterned staff swept across the sky, and the five-clawed golden dragon pattern on the staff suddenly lit up in the twilight!

With its head raised and tail swaying, the yellow soul ring burst forth on the staff under the disguise of [Thousand Faces]!

Fire Dragon's Roar!!!
