Douluo: When Tang Wulin Met Little Huo Niang

Chapter 520: The Great Star Forest Ten Thousand Years Later (5k)

When his vision returned to normal, Tang Wulin had already arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest.

As for the current situation of the Star Dou Great Forest, he had already learned about it from the driver when he came to Shrek Academy.

During these ten thousand years, the trees in the Star Forest have been continuously cut down, and now only the core circle in the center remains.

About three thousand years ago, humans had a great war with the ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest and won that war.

After that war, the Spirit Pagoda signed a series of treaties on behalf of humanity and the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest. The most important one was to ensure that both sides would not invade each other.

The Spirit Pagoda guarantees that humans will no longer cut down trees and preserve the core circle of the Star Dou Great Forest. The ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest also guarantee that the soul beasts will not leave the core circle.

If humans enter the core circle, the Spirit Tower will not guarantee the safety of those entering unless they pay extra money.

Similarly, if soul beasts leave the core circle and break into human society, humans will directly use weapons of mass destruction to retaliate.

This rule seems fair to both parties at first glance, but in fact it is a complete trap.

Because from the moment the ferocious beasts agreed to this treaty, they went from being free beings to being wild beasts held in captivity by humans.

While the ferocious beasts were still unable to react, the Spirit Pagoda built a wall outside the core circle of the Star Dou Great Forest and deployed a large number of soul guide shells and powerful soul masters on it. As long as any soul beast wanted to break out of the cage, they would be greeted by a barrage of firepower.

Even a ferocious beast would not be able to break through this line of defense when faced with the encirclement of powerful men and the explosion of fixed-type soul-guided artillery shells.

By the time the soul beasts realized the hidden meaning behind this incident, it was already too late and they could no longer successfully rush to the outside world.

The Spirit Pagoda relied on the existence of the core circle of the Star Dou Great Forest to establish it as a revenue-generating project, and began to sell tickets to the core circle of the Star Dou Great Forest at high prices. Entry was only possible if one paid, regardless of life or death.

Of course, the Spirit Pagoda also has set up related projects. As long as you spend more money, the Spirit Pagoda will send out strong people to help escort you, but that's another matter.

Although the danger of entering the core circle of the Star Dou Great Forest is very high and one's life may be in danger if one is not careful, there are still a large number of high-level soul masters who are willing to find a way to enter it even if it costs a lot of money.

After all, the souls sold on the market now are basically artificial souls, and the strength of artificial souls is far inferior to that of normal soul ring souls. It can be said that now this is the only place in the entire continent where you can see natural soul beasts and obtain natural soul rings.

It's just that during this period of time, the atmosphere here has become a little tense.

The recent incident of ferocious beasts appearing together and attacking Lingbing Douluo has not only affected human society, but also caused a huge change in humans' views on soul beasts.

People only then realized that the protective wall they had built didn't seem to have much effect on the ferocious beasts. They were able to mobilize all their forces without anyone noticing and come to Donghai City, which is very far away from the Star Dou Great Forest, to attack the soul guide train. This was truly terrifying.

Therefore, during this period of time, the Spirit Pagoda was actually under a lot of pressure. The pillar of the Spirit Pagoda, Qiangu Dongfeng, also came forward many times and stated that he would strictly monitor the Star Dou Great Forest and would not let the same thing happen again.

But what he said could only deceive ordinary people with low cultivation. The real soul masters with high cultivation understood that a mere protective wall could not stop the Beast God Di Tian who had mastered the power of space.

As long as he wants, the entire Douluo Continent is like a back garden, and he can go wherever he wants.

Qiangu Dongfeng didn't have any good solution. He was preparing to deal with Shrek Academy during this period. He only needed to wait a few more years and the preparations would be complete and he would be able to complete his grand plan. However, who knew that such an unexpected thing would happen at this time.

He had requested a meeting with the Star Forest many times, but was always ignored by the other party. If it were in the past, he would have used his power to teach the other party a lesson, but at this critical moment, he really didn't dare to act rashly.

Everything can only be carried out after the two major concerns, Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, are resolved.

Tang Wulin had been in a deep meditation state for some time, so he didn't know much about recent events. He looked at the trees around him and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

When he first traveled through time, he also traveled to the Star Dou Great Forest, where he met Huo Yutong.

Now he has come to the Star Dou Great Forest ten thousand years later, but there is no outer periphery here, only the core circle that was once known as the Great Evil Land remains.

Even this core circle, which was once listed as one of the forbidden areas in heaven and earth, is now no different from a zoo.

The passage of tens of thousands of years can indeed change a lot of things.

Tang Wulin sighed softly and walked forward.

After the last incident, Gu Yue disappeared from the East China Sea Academy. If he guessed correctly, the other party was most likely hiding in the core circle of the Star Dou Great Forest.

In fact, as long as he wanted, he could use the power of the Son of Nature's Martial Soul to mobilize all the plants here and force Gu Yue out.

Even if Gu Yue cannot be forced out, Di Tian can be forced out. I believe Di Tian always has Gu Yue's contact information.

But since it was a rare trip here, he would rather see with his own eyes what the Star Dou Great Forest had become now.

After walking a few steps forward, Tang Wulin heard a wolf howl, and then a wolf with green airflow wrapped around its body appeared in front of him and pounced on him as soon as it appeared.

"Green Wind Wolf, 60,000 years."

As a top student at Shrek Academy, Tang Wulin recognized the breed and age of the wolf at a glance.

A Green Wind Wolf with this level of cultivation has at least the combat power of a Soul Sage, and may even be able to defeat a Soul Douluo.

But facing Tang Wulin, its strength was still too weak.

Tang Wulin stretched out his hand quickly and slapped the wolf. The wolf then let out a sharp howl and fell to the ground motionless.

Tang Wulin did not kill the enemy. He had no need for the spirit ring anyway, and there were only a few spirit beasts left. He had no intention of slaughtering them.

He continued to move forward and encountered several soul beasts on the way, but he easily dealt with them all using the same method.

Along the way, Tang Wulin saw the current situation of the Star Dou Great Forest. The environment here has indeed been greatly affected. The vitality that was everywhere ten thousand years ago is almost exhausted. Let alone forming the legendary gold of life, it is not even as strong as the vitality in the center of the Sea God Island.

In fact, Tang Wulin had never believed that the near extinction of soul beasts was due to human slaughter. After all, no matter how much humans slaughtered, a person only needed to kill eighteen soul beasts at most. If a soul beast could grow to 100,000 years old, the number of soul beasts it would eat would be in the millions or even tens of millions.

Compared with the casualties caused by soul beasts killing each other, the number of soul beasts killed by humans is really too small. If we really count the casualties, the soul beasts themselves are actually the root cause of their extinction.

But seeing the depleted vitality of the Star Dou Great Forest, Tang Wulin had to admit that human activities did have a huge impact on soul beasts.

If possible, he wanted to restore the vitality of the Star Forest.

However, there is no point in thinking too much about this matter now. Even if it is to be implemented, it will be discussed later. If he fails to reach an agreement in this negotiation, he will not be too merciful to his enemies.

Tang Wulin continued to walk forward, and finally, after he had walked for about twenty minutes, a green figure appeared in front of him.

“Tang Wulin! Why are you here? Isn’t it the agreed deadline yet?!”

This green figure was none other than the Ten Thousand Demon King, who was ranked fifth among the ten most ferocious beasts ten thousand years ago.

At this moment, he was staring at Tang Wulin fiercely, his whole body tense, ready to escape at any time.

In the last battle, he and Xiong Jun both suffered severe injuries. If Brigitte had not treated him in time, he would have died there.

Although he managed to survive thanks to Brigitte's treatment, he was left with a chronic illness that has not improved to this day.

Just now, he learned from the plant-type soul beast under his command that an extremely powerful human had come to the Star Dou Great Forest to cause trouble. He hurried over to see, and found that it was Tang Wulin.

He was extremely terrified now. After all, in terms of compatibility, almost all the ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest were restrained by Tang Wulin, and he was one of the most miserable ones.

Even if the plant-type soul beasts are not as good as the dragon-type soul beasts facing the Dragon God, the difference is actually not much.

He could only hope that his men would hurry up and notify the other ferocious beasts and call Di Tian and the others over. He had no confidence at all to face Tang Wulin alone.

Tang Wulin rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"What are you talking about? When did I ever promise you that? At that time, I just felt that it was not the right time to kill you all, so I chose to listen to your boss's request and let you go. But recently, I have free time, so I naturally came to find you."

As he spoke, he walked towards the direction of the King of Ten Thousand Demons.

The King of Ten Thousand Demons trembled all over.

"Don't come over here! Otherwise, we in the Star Dou Great Forest will fight you to the death!"

Tang Wulin sneered:

"Okay, come on. Last time you sent so many people to assassinate me, and you're talking as if we were very friendly at the beginning. I want to know how long you can last under my hands."

Hearing him say this, the King of Ten Thousand Demons subconsciously took a step back, and all kinds of bad memories began to revive in his mind.

What a joke! Last time, so many ferocious beasts attacked them together, but they were easily beaten by Tang Wulin. Looking at Tang Wulin's condition at that time, he obviously did not use his full strength. In this case, no matter how many soul beasts came, they would just be sending themselves to death.

He had no choice but to swallow his anger and ask:

"Tang Wulin, what do you want to do? You humans have persecuted us so badly, do you still want to continue to hurt us?"

Tang Wulin did not answer his question, but asked: "You just sent your men to contact Di Tian and the others, right?"

"!"

"Don't look so surprised."

Tang Wulin smiled slightly.

"You also know that I am the son of nature. After entering this forest, all the plants here are under my control. If you let an animal-type soul beast inform Di Tian, ​​it would be fine. But you let your own men inform... Should I say that you are too concerned?"

"…What do you want to do?"

The King of Ten Thousand Monsters said hoarsely:

"We were wrong last time. I apologize. Please don't do it. Our soul beast is really dying."

"haha, really?"

Tang Wulin laughed and asked:

"Even if the Silver Dragon King wakes up, he can't save you?"

"—"

The King of Ten Thousand Demons was so surprised that he was speechless.

The awakening of the Silver Dragon King is a core secret among soul beasts. Even among soul beasts, only beings over 100,000 years old know about this. Human society knows nothing about it. How did Tang Wulin, a human, know about it?
Tang Wulin sighed and said:

"So don't try to be clever, you can't fool me, but don't worry, I'm not a devil, I have no intention of destroying you, I just came here to talk to your boss. Originally I wanted to find someone myself, but thanks to you, now I just need to wait for Di Tian here."

"is it?"

At this moment, a steady voice sounded, and a ball of black mist suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It swirled violently and gradually condensed in front of Tang Wulin.

When the black fog was completely condensed, a handsome young man with black hair and golden eyes appeared in front of him, tilting his head slightly with curiosity.

"What do you want from me?"

It was the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian.

Seeing him, Tang Wulin smiled and said:

"I haven't seen you for a few months. How is your injury?"

"..."

The corner of Di Tian's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

This boy, why is he so rude? Is he deliberately exposing his scars?
He said unhappily:
"Thank you for showing mercy last time. I'm almost healed now."

As the leader of soul beasts, he is well aware of how abnormal the true power of the Dragon God is.

During the last retreat, when he saw Tang Wulin's seventh spirit ring light up, his heart rose to his throat, and an extremely strong fear almost filled his heart.

So when he saw Tang Wulin give up using the Dragon God's true body and let them go, he really felt relieved from the bottom of his heart.

At this time, a green figure descended from the sky. A green-haired woman appeared here, took a breath, and said:

"Please wait a moment. Please do not attack Di Tian. If you really want to kill soul beasts to vent your anger, then kill us."

Tang Wulin smacked his lips speechlessly.

"Why are you all like that, just like me and the big devil, making me doubt that it wasn't you who attacked me last time, but I attacked you. Don't worry, I'm not here to fight you this time, I just want to talk to your boss."

"Boss?"

Di Tian narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice:
"You mean, you want to see the Lord?"

"Yes."

Tang Wulin nodded calmly.

"That is Gu Yue, Di Tian, ​​as the strongest person under her, you should have a way to contact her, right? Call her out, I want to ask her some questions."

Di Tian did not act immediately, but asked:

"What questions do you want to ask her? I can help her answer them for you."

Tang Wulin saw through his thoughts at a glance.

"Are you afraid that I will devour her?"

If what Naer said is true, the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King should be in a relationship of devouring each other.

In other words, the dragon god formed by the combination of the two should also be able to gain even more powerful power by devouring her.

Considering Tang Wulin's situation, if he devoured her, he might be able to skip the second test of the Dragon God and advance directly to the third test. To be honest, it was indeed quite tempting.

"……Yes."

After a moment's silence, Di Tian nodded in acknowledgment.

He sighed and said:

"If you want anything, you can ask me. If you really want it, I will give you all my spirit rings and spirit bones. Please let her go."

Tang Wulin was really surprised this time.

"Why bother? Why are you so obsessed with her? If you are counting on her to lead you to revive the soul beast clan, I suggest you forget it. The soul beasts now have already gone, and there is no possibility of revival."

And to be honest, Tang Wulin always felt that with Gu Yue's intelligence being so low that she could be outwitted by an eight-year-old child like Na'er, it seemed unrealistic to expect her to lead the soul beast revival.

Di Tian sighed helplessly.

"Because I am the patriarch of the Black Dragon Clan. We, the Black Dragon Clan, have served the Dragon God for generations. Our duty is to protect the Dragon God's safety, so I can't possibly betray her."

Tang Wulin became even more confused.

"So according to what you said, shouldn't you listen to me?"

Di Tian's face darkened and he said:
"Didn't I tell you last time? You are just a human being after all. It is impossible for you to think completely from the perspective of us soul beasts."

"Is that so? Then let's just take it as such."

It's the same anyway.

Tang Wulin sighed and said:

"Okay, don't worry. I swear I won't do anything to her. Call her over here. I have something to ask her in person."

Di Tian gave a suspicious look.

"Really?"

Tang Wulin smiled and spread his hands.

"So what if it's not true? You can't beat me."

If all else fails, he will knock Di Tian down and then take him back to let Huo Yutong explore his brain.

With Huo Yutong's mental strength, he was already able to use this kind of undead magic on Di Tian.

"Oh, well, you have a point."

Di Tian sighed dejectedly.

He has been dominating Douluo Continent for so many years relying on his own strength, but this is the first time that he has been suppressed by someone with such strength.

It was the first time that he knew how the previous humans felt when facing him.
