Douluo Continent: Starting with Transforming Xiao Wu into the Zerg Queen

Page 113

The Star Luo Emperor said everything.

If it were an ordinary genius Soul Master, after being flattered and given such pleasantries by the Star Luo Emperor, he would probably have been filled with enthusiasm for participating in important matters between empires and would have rushed off to become Davis's bodyguard without hesitation.

However, this was exactly what he planned.

Lin Fan pondered for a moment, then asked, "Does the Emperor mean that he wants me to protect Davis's safety?"

"Hahahaha! I won't force you, after all, this mission is somewhat dangerous, and there are still some experts in our royal family."

As he spoke, Emperor Xingluo patted Lin Fan's shoulder affectionately, a gesture that truly resembled the care and concern of an elder for a younger generation.

Lin Fan sneered inwardly again, but said with a righteous expression, "Your Majesty, rest assured! Davis is my close friend, and protecting his safety is my duty! It's just that I'm an outsider, so wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to get involved in such an important matter?"

“Simple! I wonder if you could be appointed as a guest elder in our Star Luo Empire? This would grant you the power to mobilize some of the Star Luo Empire's resources. Moreover, you would not be subject to any constraints from our Star Luo Empire.”

Lin Fan nodded and smiled at the Star Luo Emperor, "Then, I shall respectfully comply."

"Hahahaha! Good, good, good!"

Emperor Xingluo and Lin Fan exchanged a smile, their eyes gleaming with a sharp light.

Each of them was secretly plotting their own agenda.

Chapter 131: A Series of Hidden Cards, Just How Many Title Douluos Are There?

"Everyone, Sunset Forest is just ahead. Please be careful and don't get separated."

A middle-aged man in heavy armor walked at the front, shouting loudly to the crowd behind him in a powerful voice.

It is clear from the clothes this man is wearing that he is a soldier of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

Davis and his group from the Star Luo Empire followed behind, while Lin Fan wore a black robe and a black mask that completely covered his face.

He stayed close to Davis.

Behind Davis, the Star Luo Empire also had an army of about five thousand men stationed on the outskirts of Sunset Forest. Judging from the orderly setup of their tents and the quiet atmosphere, this was an elite force!

The army of the Heaven Dou Empire was also busy setting up camp not far from the Star Luo Empire. However, the soldiers were a bit noisy and, in every aspect, were not as strong as the soldiers of the Star Luo Empire.

Many soldiers of the Heavenly Dou Empire looked on with envy at the fine iron armor and well-trained formation of the Star Luo Empire soldiers.

He then continued to do his own thing with his head down.

Meanwhile, the Star Luo Empire's army continued to silently go about its business, only now their movements were more decisive and efficient, their chests more upright, and they walked with a whooshing sound.

Each of them wore a hint of pride on their face.

Shhhhhh!

The spies of the Heavenly Dou Empire were the first to venture into the jungle to clear a path, constantly guiding the group on the right way.

Although the two empires dispatched a considerable number of troops, each only had a small squad of elite soldiers actually entering the Sunset Forest.

There are no more than thirty people in total.

After all, this is the Soul Beast Forest.

If too many people are mobilized, who knows if it will cause unnecessary trouble?

Although human soul masters believe they have explored all the soul beasts on the Douluo Continent, the two great soul beast forests are still incredibly vast.

The core area is even more unfathomable.

Even titled Douluo dare not casually set foot in the core area of the Soul Beast Forest. Who knows if there might be even more mysterious beings there?

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the figure from the Heavenly Dou Empire walking at the very front.

If nothing unexpected happens, that person should be the one to absorb this 100,000-year-old soul ring, right?

Keep a low profile, just like yourself, and don't attract attention.

who can that be?

When did the Heaven Dou Empire acquire such a powerful figure?

Moreover, the Star Luo Empire isn't exactly behaving itself either.

Lin Fan lowered his head to sense the surroundings for a moment, a cold smile appearing on his lips.

As the group moved forward, a brightly colored butterfly would occasionally appear on the treetops of the tall, thick trees, fluttering its wings and watching the direction the group was heading with its scarlet compound eyes.

As the group moved along their route, the ground beneath their feet would occasionally tremble slightly.

It was simply drowned out by the sound of everyone's footsteps.

Apart from Lin Fan, no one else noticed these subtle changes.

The path behind them was gradually covered by a patch of purplish-black grass, and soon it turned into a vibrant green, indistinguishable from the surrounding environment.

Lin Fan silently sensed the reports his "spies" were giving him.

The Heaven Dou Empire even had a squad of all Soul Emperors closely following the group, and the captain at the head of the squad exuded an aura that made him look more like a Soul Saint!

And the Star Luo Empire actually dispatched three such teams to follow behind everyone!

They all concealed themselves, and no one noticed.

Meanwhile, the team from the Heavenly Dou Empire had already been discovered and was being followed by the Star Luo Empire.

"Interesting. Is it distrust, or a case of the mantis stalking the cicada? Hehehe."

Lin Fan instantly felt that this trip was starting to become interesting.

The two great empires have already begun their covert struggle even before they've started hunting soul beasts.

However, it seems that the experts on the Star Luo Empire's side are superior!

However, it's impossible for the Star Luo Emperor not to know that the Heaven Dou Empire possesses a strength that resembles a Title Douluo. So what are the Star Luo Empire's trump cards?

Lin Fan was not naive enough to believe that the Star Luo Emperor's trump card was himself.

Perhaps, I am just a pawn in the hands of the Star Luo Emperor.

Because in Lin Fan's perception, the three Soul Saints in his team would occasionally focus their attention on him.

It must have been at the behest of the Star Luo Emperor.

If I behave myself, that's fine. But if I do anything unusual, I'm afraid these Soul Masters will target me first!

Lin Fan sneered inwardly. Trying to play games?

Then I'll play with you and have some fun!

Lin Fan's mind jolted instantly. The purplish-black grass behind them paused slightly, then began to spread outwards silently and swiftly.

Since there's another little mouse lurking in the shadows, it'll be more fun to find all of them.

Lin Fan didn't want his enjoyment of the game to be ruined by a little mouse hiding in the shadows.

Wow!

The purplish-black grass continued to spread, and barely visible buds of flesh surged and rolled across the ground.

It created ripples that spread outwards in layers.

"Ok?"

An elderly man in a green robe looked at the swirling, purplish-black grass on the ground with a hint of confusion on his face, then slammed his cane hard on the ground.

A green ripple spread out instantly.

The purplish-black grass withered instantly upon contact with the ripple, turning into charred black grass scattered on the ground.

The old man bent down, rubbed a bit of black ash between his fingertips, and examined it for a long time.

He then shook his head and murmured, "Strange, when did this kind of thing appear in the forest?"

The old man then stopped thinking about it and, leaning on his cane, walked step by step into the depths of the forest.

Although the old man seemed to walk slowly, each step was as if he had shrunk the distance to an inch, and he flew towards the depths of the Sunset Forest!

Lin Fan, who was walking, suddenly shuddered, his eyes becoming slightly serious.

It turned out to be him!

The Heavenly Dou Empire actually has a backup plan?

wrong!

This time, we're definitely not going for the 100,000-year-old Titan Ape!

Neither of the two empires told the truth.

If it were just an ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beast, it wouldn't have been necessary to use so many trump cards. It can be said that both sides have used almost all the trump cards they could!

As expected, the Heaven Dou Empire has two quasi-titled Douluo.

And the Star Luo Empire is certainly no weaker than this force!

What exactly are they looking for?

Lin Fan frowned slightly.

Connect your spirit to the insect web.

You also need to make some thorough preparations yourself.

This operation was far beyond my expectations.

However, this could also be an opportunity!

This is a crucial juncture in the rise of the Zerg; whether we can seize it depends on our own planning this time.
