Douluo Continent: I, Tang Wulin, a Kamen Rider

Chapter 168 Bonds and Love

"Children, you are safe."

"Children, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person."

"Children, speak up! I'm a good person, I've come to save you."

Seeing the bloody domain dissipate due to the death of the Dark Blood Demon, Mu Ye finally relaxed. However, he began to panic when he did not receive a reply from Tang Wulin and the others for a long time.

Could it be that when the Dark Blood Demon, Old Bi Deng, left, he traded one child that he and Zhenhua valued for another?
"Children, don't scare me! Have you been poisoned by that old man? Why are you all so quiet?"

Seeing this, Tang Wulin rubbed the back of his head somewhat awkwardly.

"Uh, sir, we're fine."

"Oh, it's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright. Wait a minute, if you're alright, why didn't you reply to me? Don't forget, I just saved you." Makino asked, puzzled.

"By the way, do you think my mecha is cool? Are you interested in joining my sect?"

"If you're willing, I'll give you a cool mecha and battle armor like mine as soon as you enter! You should know that this is the continent's top-tier god-level mecha and four-word battle armor."

"Look, with just a light grab, I can smash this old man into a pulp. Combined with the secret techniques of my Body Sect, it's like..."

Tang Wulin was speechless as he watched the giant mecha in front of him, which was both promoting its own mecha and sect and striking poses.

He wanted to properly thank his savior, but with his goofy appearance, how could he even begin?

Good heavens, this is another Xie Xie!

"Oh right, Xie Xie!"

Thinking of this, Tang Wulin suddenly recalled the image of Xie Xie, who had just been slapped away by the Dark Blood Demon.

Thinking of this, and disregarding his still-recovering body, Tang Wulin hurriedly struggled to break free from Tang Yin'er's embrace.

Then he shouted urgently at the mech, "Uncle, wait a moment before you thank us, we need to go check on our companions now."

"By the way, your mecha is really cool."

Of course, Tang Wulin didn't forget to add a compliment at the end.

Without waiting for Mu Ye's reply, he hurriedly ran towards Xie Xie's direction.

Upon arriving there, Tang Wulin discovered that Xie Xie was lying on the ground, like a frozen caterpillar.

His face was ashen, his body trembled uncontrollably, and his jaw was chattering.

Seeing this, Tang Yin'er quickly stepped forward, bent down, and summoned the Golden Tree to treat Xie Xie.

However, after a moment, Tang Yin'er frowned slightly, then put away the Golden Tree and got up to return to Tang Wulin's side.

Seeing this, Tang Wulin couldn't help but feel somewhat helpless.

Because he knew in his heart that it wasn't that Tang Yin'er didn't want to help Xie Xie, but that Xie Xie was actually not seriously injured!
Moreover, from his perspective, Xie Xie's battle armor showed signs of corrosion.

But upon closer inspection, it turned out that only the surface layer of paint had been corroded away; in reality, the battle armor had successfully withstood the attack from the Dark Blood Demon.

After all, the Dark Blood Demon intended to torture Xie Xie indefinitely, rather than simply killing him off.

In addition, Xie Xie had the battle armor that he personally made for Xie Xie, so Xie Xie survived unharmed from the hands of a Limit Douluo.

Seeing this, Tang Wulin exchanged a glance with Gu Yue beside him.

Although the two did not speak, Gu Yue seemed to understand his meaning and nodded calmly.

Then Gu Yue reached out and summoned a layer of frost and soil to adhere to Xie Xie's battle armor, removing the remaining toxins on it, and then summoned water to cleanse it.

As a result of this operation, the ground where Xie Xie was located had frozen over, and the temperature dropped rapidly.

But looking at Xie Xie, who was already as cold as a dog, still lying on the ground like a corpse.

The people standing by were speechless, after all, they could see that Xie Xie was completely unharmed!

Xu Xiaoyan immediately stepped forward and kicked Xie Xie, who was lying dead on the ground.

"Hey, Xie Xie isn't dead, is he? If you're not dead, stop pretending and get up! Aren't you cold lying on the ground?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Xie's expression changed, and he asked the crowd with a strange smile.

"Hehe, you guys just saw it, right? How was my performance? Cool, huh!"

As he spoke, Xie Xie looked at Tang Wulin and the others with an extremely expectant gaze.

Seeing Xie Xie's cheeks flushed red from the cold, and the two glistening snot hanging from the tip of his nose, Tang Wulin and Gu Yue fell silent.

But at this moment, Ye Xinglan, who was standing to the side, nodded in approval.

"Not bad, you're very convincing. I almost thought you were dead."

Seeing this, Wu Siduo, who was standing to the side, also added a merciless remark.

"Yes, I almost thought you were dead too. I was even ready to dig up some soil and bury you on the spot."

Seeing this, Xie Xie was speechless.

"Hey, you guys know perfectly well that's not what I'm asking."

Seeing Xie Xie's pained expression, Tang Wulin couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Pfft! Haha, don't worry, Xie Xie, we all saw it. He's so handsome, super handsome! You truly are my good brother!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Xie's mood soared like a rocket, and he looked expectantly at Gu Yue and Tang Yin'er, who had been silent, standing beside Tang Wulin.

In response, Gu Yue, unusually, did not give Xie Xie a perfunctory answer, but calmly said, "That's right, not a coward, but a real man."

Tang Yin'er smiled slightly and said in a gentle yet affirmative tone.

"When we first met, I felt that Xie Xie, you would be my Wu Lin's best friend."

Upon seeing that he had gained Tang Yin'er's approval, Xie Xie's heart began to race again.

It was as if a little green deer lived there, thrashing wildly in his heart.

Sister Tang Yin'er has approved of me!

Wu Lin, the bond between us has finally been recognized by your parents!
At this moment, Xie Xie was overwhelmed with joy and excitement, to the point that he lost all control over his facial expressions, and tears and snot flowed uncontrollably from his face.

"Wu Lin, can you hear me! Can you hear me!"

In response to Xie Xie's question, Tang Wulin smiled slightly and said, "Yes, I heard you, Xie Xie."

Tang Wulin smiled as he reached out his hand to Xie Xie, who was still lying on the ground.

Xie Xie wiped the snot and tears from his face, then reached out and firmly grasped the arm that Tang Wulin was extending, his eyes shining as he looked at Tang Wulin in front of him.

Tang Wulin didn't care about the strange feeling in his hand at all, and gently pulled Xie Xie up from the ground.

However, just as Xie Xie was being helped up and regaining his footing, and was about to say something, Xu Xiaoyan hurriedly pushed him away from Tang Wulin.

"Wu Lin, I have water here, come and wash your hands." "Wu Lin, I..."

Seeing Tang Wulin surrounded by women again, Xie Xie was speechless.

I just acknowledged him and said he was handsome, how come he's changed his tune like this now!
You know, I, Xie Xie, have cursed people and shed blood for the team!
Is this how you treat the team's heroes?

But seeing the Flame Sword that Tang Wulin had deliberately left on the ground, Xie Xie suppressed his inner complaints and gently stepped forward to pull out the Flame Sword.

"Never mind, as long as Wu Lin still remembers the good things I've done for him, that's enough."

As Xie Xie pondered this, he gripped the Flame Sword, preparing to find a secluded spot to warm himself by the fire, ward off the chill, and then change into dry clothes.

"Hey? Lizhi, what are you doing standing here?"

Looking at the chubby boy still standing in the corner, Xie Xie asked curiously.

"Huh? Oh, I'm fine. I was just thinking about what I should eat at the celebration banquet later. Oh, by the way, you were so cool just now!"

Xu Lizhi, who had been called out by Xie Xie, immediately withdrew his gaze from Ye Xinglan and awkwardly rubbed the back of his head as he replied.

Seeing this, Xie Xie's heart stirred, but he didn't say anything more, only gently patting Xu Lizhi's shoulder.

"If a boy likes a girl, but that girl already has someone else in her heart, why can't the boy choose another girl to love?"

"Of course, if that boy really can't live without that girl, then why doesn't he think of another way to be by her side?"

At this point, Xie Xie seemed to have thought of something, paused, and then said in a low voice with a hint of mystery.

"After all, in my opinion, true love for someone means being able to give up everything for them, even risk your life for them!"

After saying that, Xie Xie, without waiting for Xu Lizhi's reply, picked up Tang Wulin's Flame Sword and went to a corner to warm himself by the fire and change his clothes.

Meanwhile, seeing himself being ignored by everyone again, Wu Changkong clenched his fists slightly, but still didn't say anything and silently left the place alone.

There's no way around it; as I always say, there's a difference between plans and reality.

Although he had been secretly gathering his strength, waiting for the dark blood demon to get close so that he could suddenly unleash it and catch the opponent off guard.

However, Xie Xie's sudden actions made his behavior seem so out of place with the team.

So he needs time to think carefully about how he should face everyone next.

Soon, after Wu Changkong left, only Xu Lizhi remained standing in the same spot.

At the same time, as Xie Xie's words flowed through his mind, the memories that had been sealed away in his mind also flickered.

Having just left my family that year, I was immediately noticed by my unusually large physique and shy, taciturn personality when I first entered school.

In addition, his food-type martial soul, which has no combat power, often makes him bullied and humiliated by his classmates.

But it was then that he met the white moonlight that every boy would be amazed by for a lifetime.

When Ye Xinglan first met them, she single-handedly cut down the entire class with a wooden sword, and declared that anyone who dared to bully her younger brother would have to get past her sword first!
Yes, even though they had only known each other for less than a class period, in Ye Xinglan's heart...

He, who was looked down upon by everyone and was at the very bottom of the class, had already become her younger brother.

From then on, Ye Xinglan became his guardian angel, and every day after that, he followed Ye Xinglan around like a devoted fan.

Although Ye Xinglan initially disliked his following, she even found it very offensive.

But one day, after Ye Xinglan reported this matter to another male voice through the soul communication device, and after being comforted by that male voice, Ye Xinglan accepted his existence and tacitly agreed to his following.

As time went by, how could Xu Lizhi not know that the male voice that made him envious, the one that allowed him to chat with Ye Xinglan all night long, was none other than Tang Wulin?

With mixed emotions in his heart, Xu Lizhi patted his cheeks as he said "Sister Xinglan".

He forcibly suppressed his emotions and walked towards Ye Xinglan and the others.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Tang Wulin, who had just washed his hands, looked at the mecha that was still standing in the same spot posing and asked it a question.

"Hey sir, we know your mecha is cool, but it's been so long, you should have finished posing by now, right?"

Strangely, the tall red mecha seemed to fall into a deathly silence when Tang Wulin asked it, offering no response whatsoever.

But the next second, the huge mech started up again, and the searchlights on its top shone directly on Tang Wulin and the others.

For a moment, the blinding light, under the pitch-black night, caused everyone's eyes to be instantly blinded.

Tang Wulin, with his eyes tightly closed, suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

For some reason, he could smell a pungent, bloody odor emanating from the mecha above.

In addition, there were unusual actions taken by this stock.
Sure enough, the next second, the mecha moved as fast as lightning, its giant steel fist carrying the force of breaking through the wind.

Without warning, it slammed down hard on Tang Wulin and the others who were temporarily "blind" below.

Just then, Xu Lizhi, who was rushing over, witnessed this thrilling scene.

At that moment, Xu Lizhi's eyes widened instantly, as if his eyeballs were about to be torn apart by the sudden terror.

With a heart full of terror, he stretched out his hand and shouted hoarsely in the direction of Ye Xinglan, "No!"

"Sister Xinglan!"

In this critical moment, Tang Wulin, who had just reacted, forced his eyes open and faced the dazzling searchlight shining directly at him.

"Dragon of Courage!"

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a stirring chant and a dragon's roar that shook the heavens and the earth were heard.

In an instant, a metal dragon head collided violently with the mecha's iron fist, unleashing a deafening roar.

The two remained locked in a stalemate in the air, but due to MetalGreymon's slightly lower position and its head-to-fist posture, it was unable to unleash its true power.

This allowed the red mech, which was already positioned above, to gradually gain the upper hand.

However, just as the two giant beasts were locked in a stalemate, silver light flashed continuously beneath them.

Suddenly, Tang Yin'er, Ye Xinglan, Wu Siduo, and Xu Xiaoyan were teleported to other places by Gu Yue, who reacted instantly, by touching their shoulders one by one.

Surprisingly, as soon as they appeared, without the slightest hesitation, they immediately forced their eyes open and turned to look in the original direction.

Yes, although they couldn't see clearly for a moment, they believed that Tang Wulin would never summon the Dragon of Courage without reason.

Moreover, that powerful roar
Sure enough, when they could see things clearly, they saw that MetalGreymon was standing where they had just been.

The red-level mech above it was delivering a vicious elbow strike to its back with its iron fist, while Tang Wulin and Gu Yue were struggling to support it from below.

But the next second, before the girls could even get there to help, things changed.

But then they saw the red mech unleash a powerful kick to the side of the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Beast, sending it flying.

Immediately afterwards, the mech fired countless soul-guided projectiles and rays, shooting towards Gu Yue and Tang Wulin below, who were preparing to move themselves and Tang Wulin.
