Douluo Continent: An Adventure Begins in Wuhun City

He spoke with a hint of dejection and sorrow on his face.

"You're right, Aqing is dead. There's no need for you to stay here any longer."

Its sister, the 1-year-old blue ape, reached the limit of the continent's rules a year ago, and a great calamity descended.

As the Titan Ape had predicted, the Green Ape, aside from its beautiful appearance, had no outstanding strength and ultimately perished under the heavenly tribulation.

Tang Hao, standing before him, remained unmoved and expressionless upon hearing the Titan Giant Ape mention the Green Ape. In fact, a deep resentment lingered in his dark eyes.

Clearly, the constant companionship did not alleviate Tang Hao's resentment; on the contrary, it seemed to intensify.

"Ugh"

The Titan Ape was lost in grief and didn't notice Tang Hao's resentful expression. He hung his head, sighed heavily, then slowly stood up, looked at Tang Hao again, and said...

“I think you’re right. You are human after all, and it’s not suitable for you to live in the forest. You will leave after this, and I won’t stop you anymore. However, you need to take Xiao San with you. He is your child with A Qing, and he is even closer to you as a human, so he is more suitable to live in the human world.”

As he spoke, the Titan Ape held out its palm to Tang Hao and slowly opened it. There, a child of about two years old was lying in the Titan Ape's palm, sleeping soundly. However, compared to a normal human child, this child's body and even face were covered with thick hair, which was bluish-purple. From a human perspective, it was quite creepy.

The Titan Ape looked at the child in its palm, a hint of reluctance flashing in its eyes.

It was quite fond of the child, especially its extraordinary fur, which made it the best among apes.

But it was ultimately just the child's uncle, and although the child had a lot of hair, its body size was similar to that of a human, and it was even considered somewhat thin.

Therefore, it is not suitable for him to stay in the forest; it would be more appropriate for his father to take care of him.

Seeing the child in the Titan Ape's palm, and gazing at its thick fur, Tang Hao's eyes flashed with unbearable disgust. Through this child, he even recalled the various humiliations he had suffered during his years in the forest.

His heart was filled with surging hatred and murderous intent, but with the Titan Ape right in front of him, he took a deep breath and suppressed the strange feeling in his heart.

Now, his first priority is to leave this forest.

Tang Hao took the child expressionlessly, looked at the Titan Ape, and spoke coldly.

"Can I go now?"

"Let's go."

Before the Titan Ape could finish speaking, Tang Hao turned around and left without pausing.

Watching Tang Hao's retreating figure, the Titan Ape felt a pang of loneliness.

Although it initially looked down on Tang Hao, it did not treat him poorly during the year after its sister's death.

On the contrary, because of his sister's almost pathological doting on Tang Hao before her death, the Titan Giant Ape also placed his longing for his sister on Tang Hao, truly regarding him as his brother-in-law.

But as Tang Hao left with his nephew today with a cold expression, the Titan Ape finally realized that its only blood relative, its sister, was truly gone.

With a forlorn expression, the Titan Ape slowly turned around and walked towards the cave behind it. However, its once majestic body now appeared somewhat hunched.

Emerging from the heart of the forest, Tang Hao glanced back at the situation before focusing his gaze on the child in his arms.

His eyes flickered slightly, and his calloused hands unconsciously moved to the child's slender neck.

"Bastard child."

Tang Hao's expression unconsciously turned ferocious as he gritted his teeth and muttered under his breath, his hand instinctively wanting to exert more force.

But for some reason, the hands that used to be able to easily break steel bars suddenly became powerless.

As the saying goes, even a tiger won't eat its cubs.

Even though Tang Hao deeply resented Tang San's mother, and even though she died tragically under the heavenly tribulation, Tang Hao still felt that her death was too easy, and he could not quell the hatred in his heart.

But when faced with this child who carries half of his blood, he was helpless.

He could have strangled her in the next second, hidden the traces and his shameful past, walked out of the forest, returned to the mainland, and remained the popular and favored son of heaven.

But at this crucial moment, a moment of hesitation and struggle flashed through his mind. He realized that he ultimately couldn't bring himself to harm his own child.

But if he doesn't kill it, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred he feels for that beast in his heart!

"what do I do."

Tang Hao looked helpless, holding the child, his body went limp to the ground, and tears began to well up in his eyes.

This 2-meter-tall man looked like he was about to shed tears.

It's clear that in recent years, under the doting care of the Green Ape, this once fearless man has become much softer.

However, just as Tang Hao was distracted, he suddenly noticed a commotion coming from not far away.

Having lived in the forest for so many years, he naturally knew that this commotion was not made by a soul beast.

Immediately, he became alert, suppressing his distracting thoughts. With a swift movement, he leaped through the trees with incredible skill, like a nimble monkey, and vanished in an instant.

"Chen Yao, aren't you being a bit too picky? That Hellfire Eye was an extremely rare dark attribute soul beast, and it was 50,000 years old. It was a perfect match for your seventh soul ring, yet you're still not satisfied. You should know that I never encountered a Hellfire Eye that had grown to this level when I lived in the Star Dou Forest!"

At this moment, on the forest path, Ah Yin looked indignant, feeling that Chen Yao had wasted her previous hard work, and couldn't help but complain.

At this moment, Chen Yao was holding a soul bone that was dark red and had a sinister aura. After hearing Ah Yin's words, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Although the Hellfire Eye that Ah Yin found earlier was quite good, it was unfortunately too young, only 50,000 years old.

What might be just right for others is far from enough for him.

Furthermore, the Hellfire Eye is extremely rare, and no race would allow Chen Yao to use the Black Zhe. Therefore, Chen Yao had no choice but to reluctantly give up the soul ring of the Hellfire Eye.

Fortunately, with the idea that if he couldn't get it, no one else could either, he was lucky enough to get a soul bone after killing the Hellfire Eye.

However, Chen Yao's attitude towards this skull was the same as with the previous soul rings. He felt that the age of the skull was a bit too low and looked down on it, so he did not absorb it immediately, but just played with it in his hand.

Moreover, it wasn't just this skull; he also had another skull on his body, the skull of the Dark Abyss Ghost Eye, which was the last thing he had taken from Bibi Dong.

He didn't absorb that piece of skull; he kept it.

Both of these soul beasts are extremely rare, and the soul bones they drop are incredibly precious and priceless.

Absorbing either one would greatly enhance one's combat power, but ultimately it was because Chen Yao was too greedy and pursued details that he felt the age of these two soul bones was somewhat lacking.

In addition, since they were in the City of Slaughter at the time, there was no insurmountable crisis approaching, so they were not in a hurry to improve their strength and simply kept the soul bone in a wait-and-see state.

"Alright, you said you'd follow along and help me find soul beasts, so naturally you have to find them until I'm satisfied. Get to work and don't slack off."

Chen Yao ignored Ah Yin's complaints. Such a useful radar should be used to its fullest potential and not wasted.

"Hmph, I really owe you one!"

Ah Yin muttered something again before reluctantly starting to search the surrounding area for places rich in dark energy.

As the group moved forward, a gaze was fixed on Chen Yao in the shadows.

The owner of the gaze, Tang Hao, looked at Chen Yao, who was surrounded by several women, and a surge of overwhelming hatred welled up in his eyes.

He will never forget the culprit who ruined him to the point of being neither human nor beast!

"And that one is...Moonlight?!"

At this moment, besides Chen Yao, Tang Hao also noticed Tang Yuehua, who was following behind him, holding a delicate and lovely child in her arms.

Looking at the little girl who used to cling to him all day, he realized she had grown into a beautiful young woman with a graceful and voluptuous figure, exuding a mature charm with every move she made.

Tang Hao felt a mix of emotions.

He couldn't help but compare the green ape to Tang Yuehua in his mind, and for a moment, Tang Hao felt like he wanted to die.

Upon seeing the child in Tang Yuehua's arms, Tang Hao felt an inexplicable surge of anger.

"Yuehua...gave birth? Who's the father? Him?"

Subconsciously assuming the child was born to Tang Yuehua, Tang Hao murmured to himself, his gaze locking onto Chen Yao once more, his expression instantly turning ferocious.

In his view, Tang Yuehua would never choose to be with a villain like Chen Yao. It must be that Chen Yao, that lewd and wicked man, coveted Tang Yuehua's beauty and used forceful means to coerce the incapable Tang Yuehua into being with him.

"You bastard, you forced me to have an affair with that beast, and then you forced Yuehua! You've already committed suicide!"

At this moment, Tang Hao's eyes were filled with rage.

He wants revenge!

Furthermore, the overwhelming hatred in his heart was simply unbearable; he wanted revenge right now!

Thinking this, his figure gradually disappeared. Looking back at the path he had come from, a resolute look appeared on his face, and he resolutely headed back into the heart of the forest.

Below, Chen Yao paused slightly, turned around, and looked at the tree where Tang Hao had been standing.

"Ah Yao, what's wrong?"

Tang Yuehua walked over carrying little Rongrong and asked curiously.

Chen Yao shook his head, pondered for a moment, then pointed to the area he was looking at and said to Ah Yin.

"Investigate that place."

Although he didn't have any means of detection, his intuition was very sharp, and he didn't think that the feeling of being watched was an illusion.

Upon hearing this, Ah Yin stopped sensing the dark attribute energy, looked in the direction Chen Yao pointed, slowly closed her eyes, and began to connect with the Blue Silver Grass in that area.

But a moment later, Ah Yin opened her eyes again and slowly shook her head.

"There is no Blue Silver Grass there, so I cannot find out the situation."

"No Blue Silver Grass? How is that possible? Was it destroyed just now?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yao's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he thought of a certain possibility and quickly asked.

But Ah Yin still shook her head.

"No, the Blue Silver Grass in this area has been eradicated for some time now, and there seems to be some method to suppress its regrowth. However, since this area is close to the heart of the forest, it was probably done by a 100,000-year-old soul beast from there."

After all, they only became wary of Blue Silver after learning of my abilities. Neither soul beasts nor humans like being spied on.

In fact, it wasn't much different from Ah Yin's guess. Tang Hao had already learned about Ah Yin's special nature from the Titan Giant Ape. So, over the past few years, Tang Hao had specially created a path where no Blue Silver Grass could grow, in preparation for his escape.

After hearing Ah Yin's guess, Chen Yao raised an eyebrow, thinking that it wasn't impossible.

However, the fact that the Blue Silver Grass had been cleared out reminded him of the same problem he encountered when he was searching for Tang Hao in the forest with Ah Yin.

Also, was that thing spying on us just now a human or a beast?

Chen Yao pondered whether he should chase after them to find out what was going on.

"Mama!"

However, at this moment, Rongrong, who was sleeping soundly in Tang Yuehua's arms, suddenly remembered her mother, woke up with a start, and cried out, which disrupted Chen Yao's thoughts.

Chen Yao glanced at Xiao Rongrong, then looked at the area from before, and shook his head.
