Douluo Continent: I, an evil soul master, work nine-to-five in the Tang Sect.

Chapter 11 Timely

Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, both Bei Bei and Tang Ya opened their mouths, but ultimately remained silent, because they knew that what Luo Chen said was true.

"Every man for himself" is a proverb. Given Luo Chen's personality, as long as it's not a big deal, he won't care too much even if someone provokes him. But if someone really sets their sights on him, he definitely won't hold back.

This is human nature. If someone is going to kill you, would you just stick your head out and let them chop it off without any resistance?

"Haha, just kidding. With my kind and honest personality, how could I possibly make so many enemies? I'm not just looking for trouble."

Seeing that Beibei and Tang Ya had both fallen silent, Luo Chen couldn't help but smile and cheerfully began to explain.

His goal was simple: to survive in this world. Power and fame were unimportant to him; he only cared about living a peaceful and comfortable life.

Luo Chen understood the principle that "not competing is competing in itself." He focused on developing his strength discreetly and improving his abilities. This was what he needed to do at this stage.

"Hmm? We found Yuhao, but he seems to be unconscious."

Just as Luo Chen was explaining to Bei Bei and the other person, the dozen or so hyenas he was distracted from controlling also found Huo Yuhao, who had just been separated from him.

However, at this moment, it was as if a great battle had broken out around Huo Yuhao. There were deep pits and broken trees everywhere, and it could only be described as a scene of devastation. Beside him was the corpse of a soul beast that looked like a monkey.

"Really? Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Upon seeing that Luo Chen had found Huo Yuhao's whereabouts, Bei Bei and Tang Ya's eyes first showed a hint of joy, but after hearing that he had fainted, they hurriedly urged him on.

Without hesitation, Luo Chen, along with Bei Bei and Tang Ya, headed towards the direction where Huo Yuhao's hyena puppet had been discovered.

Before long, Luo Chen and the others arrived at Huo Yuhao's side, who was unconscious.

"This is... a wind baboon, and a ten-year-old one at that. Could it be that Yuhao was beaten into this state by it?"

Beibei first used her soul power to check Huo Yuhao's physical condition, and then breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the corpse of the wind baboon lying beside her, she asked with some doubt.

"That shouldn't be the case. If it were just a ten-year-old wind baboon, how could it possibly cause such a commotion..."

Upon hearing Beibei's words, Tang Ya's eyes also revealed a hint of doubt.

However, Luo Chen, who was standing to the side, spoke up to remind him:

"Senior Brother, why don't we take Yuhao to a safe place first, and then think about these things?"

Although his wolf puppets were scouting and keeping watch around, the commotion that had just occurred was quite significant and could very well attract the ferocious beasts deep within the Star Dou Great Forest. While these beasts were unlikely to leave their lairs, who could say for sure?

Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, Bei Bei nodded in agreement with the suggestion.

"Okay, let's go. Let's get Brother Huo to a safe place first."

With that, Bei Bei picked up the unconscious Huo Yuhao and then used the Ghost Shadow Step to run towards the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.

However, just as Bei Bei and the others arrived at a relatively safe open area on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, Luo Chen suddenly frowned, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

"What's wrong, Xiao Chen?"

Beibei and Tang Ya, who were standing nearby, noticed that something was wrong with Luo Chen and asked him about it.

Luo Chen took a deep breath to calm himself down before explaining to the two of them:

"Luckily we left quickly. Just now, all the puppets I left there were killed, almost at the same time. We didn't even see the other side's shadow before losing contact with more than a dozen hyena puppets."

Upon hearing this, Beibei and Tangya both showed a look of surprise.

"How...how is this possible?"

Although those dozen or so controlled hyenas only had a few decades of cultivation, they were able to kill the puppets scattered in various places at the same time, causing Luo Chen to lose control. This was something that even a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, let alone a thousand-year-old soul beast, probably couldn't do!

However, seeing Bei Bei and Tang Ya's surprise, Luo Chen shook his head and said:

"Although it's unclear whether we encountered several soul beasts at the same time, this situation has clearly occurred, so we should try another entrance."

"Um."

Beibei and Tang Ya both nodded. They were both grateful for Luo Chen's reminder earlier. If they had stayed there, the outcome probably wouldn't have been much better than that of the dozen or so hyenas...

However, they still need to wait for Huo Yuhao to wake up first, as they need to find out what happened to him.

Just as Bei Bei was treating the unconscious Huo Yuhao's meridians, Luo Chen began to ponder who had intervened just now, causing the dozen or so hyena puppets to sever their connection with him in an instant.

It should be understood that puppets no longer possess the concept of "life." Unless the brain that carries their soul is erased, Luo Chen can still maintain contact with those puppets no matter how much physical trauma he suffers.

But almost instantly, more than a dozen puppets broke free from his control, not a single one escaping unscathed, which sent a chill down Luo Chen's spine.

Even if it was a purely mental attack that severed the connection between his dozen or so puppets, Luo Chen was confident he could sense some details. But the attack just now was like it came out of nowhere, incredibly fast!

"Who exactly made this move? It couldn't have been Di Tian, ​​could it?"

Luo Chen shuddered at the thought.

It seems I should keep a lower profile. Otherwise, if I end up like this puppet, being targeted by some unknown force, I might not even have time to react before my head is severed from my body...

Just as Luo Chen was pondering this, a voice pulled him back to reality.

"Brother Beibei, what's wrong with me?"

Huo Yuhao had already woken up from his unconsciousness, and Bei Bei, who had been using her soul power to unblock his meridians, withdrew her hand and asked:

"Little brother Yuhao, you're finally awake! How are you? Are you alright?"

Tang Ya, who was standing nearby, also came over, her face showing some anxiety, and said reproachfully:

"We were so worried about you. It was just a small thing like coming to the Star Dou Great Forest to get a spirit ring. You could have just told us. Why did you have to risk it all by yourself? If Xiao Chen hadn't found you in time, we might never have seen you again."
