Douluo: Reincarnated in Danheng, a Unique Journey of Pioneering

Chapter 16 Unrivaled Dragon Snake
"Is this map wrong?"

Looking at the terrain in front of him, which was clearly different from what was marked on the map, Dan Heng couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

The further you go in, the more frequently the map becomes incorrect.

But upon closer inspection, it makes sense. The Starry Sky Forest map sold in the small town only needs to be marked roughly.

Further in, the danger increases exponentially, making accurate mapping extremely difficult.

"Let's walk around some more. I should be fine without a map."

Dan Heng gently stomped his foot, leaving a mark.

Even if you go the wrong way, you can just follow the marks back here.

If that doesn't work, he can go back to the human city and cover himself up more thoroughly.

If you can't see their face, they probably won't attract anyone's attention...

Right?
And so, Dan Heng wandered around the Star Dou Great Forest like a street urchin, looking here and there.

If he encountered any spirit beasts that tried to attack him, he would stab them all to death with a single shot.

"Another soul bone. Aren't these supposed to be very rare?"

After Dan Heng chopped the giant Yin Candle Python in front of him into five, six, seven, or eight pieces with a few shots, he pulled a piece of skull out of its head.

"Judging from its appearance, it should be only 40,000 years old."

Looking at the four purple lines on the corpse of the Yin Candle Python, Dan Heng roughly determined its age.

"I even managed to get one that was 20,000 years old before. How come these things seem so easy to obtain?"

Dan Heng then took out a piece of his left arm soul bone, which had been dropped by a 20,000-year-old bear-type soul beast that had previously ambushed him.

"Have you three over there seen enough?"

After putting away the soul bone, Dan Heng turned his gaze to a tree not far away.

That sly spy has been peeping for ages and still hasn't come out?

"Ahem, young man, I am Meng Shu, and people generally call me Lord Long."

A tall, thin old man with a full head of silver hair slowly emerged from behind the tree, his expression shifting between light and shadow, his gaze towards Dan Heng filled with apprehension.

Following behind him were an elderly woman with gray hair and a young girl.

"Dragon Lord? I feel like I've heard of him somewhere before."

Dan Heng murmured to himself, feeling as if he had heard the name "Dragon Lord" somewhere before.

Dragon and Snake, it seems like they're a combination?

"Then this must be Snake Granny Chaotianxiang, and that young girl... their granddaughter?"

Recalling the phrase "peerless dragon and snake" he had heard before, Dan Heng had already confirmed the identities of the three people in front of him.

I heard that these two have a pretty strong spirit fusion skill, supposedly capable of dealing with a Title Douluo?

How does he compare to Tang Hao? I wonder if I could play with him?

"Old man, what do you mean?"

Seeing that Dan Heng did not speak, Chao Tianxiang silently shielded their granddaughter Meng Yiran behind her and asked in a low voice.

"It's hard to say. This young man was able to kill the 40,000-year-old Yin Candle Python on his own without being injured. His strength must be extraordinary."

Long Gong Meng Shu's two white eyebrows trembled uncontrollably. As an eight-ring Soul Douluo, he could not see any fluctuation of soul power on Dan Heng's body.

What does it mean?
This means they can't win!
“When we’re spying on others, especially after seeing the soul bone in their hands, it depends on their attitude. If things don’t look right, you should leave first.”

The Dragon Lord was also somewhat troubled by the current situation. If it were an ordinary Title Douluo, he and Snake Granny's Martial Soul Fusion Technique could still put up some resistance.

However, the fact that he couldn't even detect the opponent's soul power fluctuations meant that the opponent's strength was far beyond that of an ordinary Title Douluo.

Moreover, I've never heard of such a young Title Douluo on the mainland.
Therefore, there is only one answer:
That Dan Heng guy must be some old man in disguise!
But what would a Title Douluo be doing here for no reason?
This isn't even the inner perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest. To a Title Douluo like Dan Heng, the level of spirit beasts here is practically like chicks. "Grandpa, this senior doesn't seem like that kind of person. Should we apologize?"

Meng Yiran's words made Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang both sigh.

Do you think this kid, a Title Douluo, is so easily fooled?
In particular, they also saw the soul bone in the other party's hand.

If this happened to any Title Douluo, wouldn't they have silenced you to prevent the news from leaking out?

After all, those are two ten-thousand-year-old soul bones!
"If you have nothing else to do, you should leave now. I don't want this to happen again."

Danheng considered that the other party had children, and it wouldn't be appropriate to try his hand at it. There was no point in lingering there, so he directly told them to leave.

"what?"

Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang were both stunned.

Is this senior colleague really that easy to talk to?

"Your Excellency, are you really willing to let us go?"

After exchanging a glance, the couple understood each other's meaning from their eyes. Meng Shu tentatively asked.

"How about you guys practice with me?"

"No need!"

Practice?

I'm afraid they're really going to turn these two old bones of ours into "old bones"!

"This junior, Meng Shu, thanks the senior for sparing my life!"

Despite their fear, since Danheng had chosen to let them go, they naturally had to be more respectful.

If I leave like this, what if I turn around and get my throat slit?
"No need, let's go quickly."

Dan Heng waved his hand dismissively, then pondered whether to continue exploring or follow the marks left behind to leave the Star Dou Great Forest and head towards the Heaven Dou Imperial City.

"Junior Meng Yiran thanks Senior for your great kindness! Senior, you are such a good person!"

Meng Yiran's shout almost scared Meng Shu and Chaotian Xianghun away.

"Um, senior, please forgive me for my poor upbringing!"

Meng Shu pulled Meng Yiran away, apologizing as he pushed her away.

My little darling, is this the right time to say something like that? Just because someone said that, you actually think they're a good person?
"Just leave quickly, I have things to do."

Danheng rubbed his temples. "Little girl, you're probably going to get a scolding from your grandparents later!"
"Okay, okay, I'll be right there. You're busy, senior."

Meng Shu breathed a sigh of relief, then stopped pushing Meng Yiran and instead carried her away quickly into the distance.

"Wow! Grandpa, what are you doing! That's too fast!"

These were the last words Danheng heard from Meng Yiran.

"That child, really."

Danheng casually remarked, "They're just kids, it's understandable. After all, aren't those two on the train just like kids all the time?"

"Keep the snake's carcass; someone might want it."

Looking at the "corpse parts" of the giant Yin Candle Python that he had chopped into five, six, seven, or eight pieces, Dan Heng finally decided to put it away.

If someone buys it, that's another sum of money!
Danheng is running out of credits and the gold soul coins he had "explored" are almost gone. He needs to find a way to make money!
Acquiring and understanding the currency of this continent can also be considered "exploration"!

"Let's continue deeper into the area and see if we can encounter a 100,000-year-old soul beast."
