Douluo Continent: Narration Modified, Plot Begins to Collapse

Chapter 72 First Meeting with Liu Erlong

"Xiao Wu, why do you seem so distracted?"

As the group walked, Tang San suddenly spoke up.

All eyes turned to Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu's heart tightened, and she hurriedly explained:

"I... I was captured by the Titan Ape last time, and I'm a little scared."

Everyone suddenly realized what was happening, and Yu Xiaogang comforted them:

"Don't worry, it's nothing, that was just an accident."

Xiao Wu nodded and said nothing more.

Actually, that wasn't what she was worried about at all; what she was worried about was that the Titan Ape would come looking for her again.

She knew that Erming looked fierce, but he was a mischievous guy. Although she had taught him a lesson last time, she was in such a hurry to go back to find Xiaoyu that she hadn't made Erming realize that his behavior was wrong. So she was afraid that Erming would sense her presence and come back.

This time, Erming won't be so reckless. It will definitely roam around nearby and observe the situation first, but that might scare Teacher Zhao.

A Titan ape was roaming around nearby; who wouldn't be terrified if they noticed it?

Moreover, what if Xiaoyu is affected?

Thinking of this, Xiao Wu deliberately lagged behind the others and landed next to Bai Yu. Then she tugged at Bai Yu's clothes and secretly stuffed something into his pocket.

Bai Yu turned to look at Xiao Wu, who made a face, seemingly trying to make him think she was playing a prank. But the tension and worry on her face were clearly visible, making her face look like a wry smile in this situation.

Fortunately, Bai Yu could roughly guess what she was thinking, so he pretended not to understand, smiled, and ignored her.

Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, Zhao Wuji stopped.

Something's up!

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped.

The next second, a huge figure suddenly rushed out, and several trees blocking the way were cut down almost instantly by the enormous cutting force. Then, a huge lion with red fur and flames roared at the crowd.

Zhao Wuji said with a solemn expression:

"Oh no, it's a Berserk Fire Lion! These soul beasts are irritable and prone to violence, and judging from the situation, this beast's strength is about the same as mine. I'll hold it off, you guys support me!"

After saying that, Zhao Wuji immediately summoned his Martial Soul True Body, ready to fight the raging fire lion!

Ning Rongrong summoned the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, preparing to assist Zhao Wuji, when suddenly Bai Yu pounced over, grabbing her waist with one hand and covering the back of her head with the other, causing the two to fall heavily to the ground.

Before anyone could react in surprise, a poisoned needle as thick as a fire poker flew past Ning Rongrong and Bai Yu and stuck into a large tree.

Immediately afterwards, the brown trunk turned green and within a few breaths, a large hole was corroded in it.

Everyone turned to look and saw a lioness with a scorpion tail charging towards them!

"Manticore! Everyone, run!"

Tang San was shocked and pale.

The manticore is an anomaly among lions, known for its treacherous nature and highly venomous tail. More importantly, this manticore is nearly as powerful as that ferocious fire lion!

Seeing this, Zhao Wuji freed his hand to block the scorpion-tailed lion. The scorpion-tailed lion paused for a second, but Zhao Wuji was also slapped away by the raging fire lion!

"Farting is like hypnosis, hypnotizing the sleeping Luo Sanpao!"

"A fart is like surrendering, a fart that makes your muscles go numb and your bones go numb!"

The master and apprentice both farted at the same time, and everyone ran away!

As he ran, Oscar wailed in pain:

"How unlucky are we? We actually encountered two such powerful soul beasts on the outskirts?!"

"Stop talking, run!"

Dai Mubai cursed and looked back. The manticore was almost unaffected by the fart, and its speed only increased. At this rate, they would be caught up in just ten seconds!

"No, we'll be caught up if we run like this, we need to split up!"

"Splitting up is suicide! Now we have no choice but to fight a desperate battle!"

Tang San rejected Dai Mubai's idea of ​​splitting up.

Running away would mean certain death, while staying and fighting offered a slim chance of survival. Although a desperate battle might result in many deaths, Tang San was confident he would survive.

Moreover, he had already mentally prioritized everyone's lives. First were Bai Yu and Yu Xiaogang; these two were his highest priority, and if he were to sell them, it would have to be last. Next were Xiao Wu, Ma Hongjun, and Dai Mubai.

As for Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, those two bitches, they'll be the first to be used as cannon fodder!

However, just as Tang San was about to command everyone to fight to the death, a figure suddenly veered off course from the main force, shouting as he ran:

"Hey, you scorpion—no, you lioness—come after me!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the scorpion lion, which had been pecked by Bai Yu's soul pet, suddenly flew into a rage and instantly chased after Bai Yu.

As Bai Yu and the Scorpion Lion ran further and further away, the Shrek Academy members stopped and fell silent.

"Xiaoyu!"

Xiao Wu screamed in anguish, trying to chase after him, but Zhu Zhuqing held her back.

Xiao Wu, with tears in her eyes, turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing, who shook her head and said in a deep voice:

"He put himself in danger to help us escape. If you chase after him, all his efforts will be in vain."

Xiao Wu saw the worry hidden in Zhu Zhuqing's seemingly calm eyes and accepted her explanation.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Zhuqing helped Ning Rongrong, who was slumped on the ground with a blank look in her eyes, to her feet and said to everyone:

"Let's go back and help Teacher Zhao. He's the only one who can save Bai Yu now."

The group nodded and headed towards Zhao Wuji's direction.

. . . . . . .

Bai Yu led the Scorpion Lion further and further away. Whenever the Scorpion Lion was about to catch up with him, he would use the system to modify the system so that the Scorpion Lion could never catch up with him, which made the Scorpion Lion furious.

Bai Yu ran while looking back.

"The manticore must be at least 30,000 to 40,000 years old. Even if I use all my methods, I might not be its match. However, I have a system that can help me slowly wear it down."

Seeing that he had run far enough away from the Shrek Seven Devils, Bai Yu was just about to stop and fight when suddenly, a dragon's roar came from the sky. Immediately afterwards, a blue fireball fell like a meteor, trailing a red and blue tail flame, and crashed heavily into the Scorpion Lion!

The manticore let out a miserable cry as its entire body was scorched by flames. It staggered back more than ten steps, looking up at the sky with angry eyes.

Bai Yu also looked up at the sky and saw a woman with a beautiful figure and a heroic spirit descending from the sky. Who else could it be but Liu Erlong?

The scorpion lion and Liu Erlong stared at each other for a moment. After looking at the seven spirit rings on Liu Erlong's body, it rationally chose to run away.

Liu Erlong put away the spirit ring, looked at Bai Yu, and asked in a tone full of killing intent:

"I am Liu Erlong, the dean of Lanba Academy. Who are you?"

Her killing intent wasn't directed at Bai Yu, but at the Manticore. However, the Manticore escaped, and she didn't have time to withdraw her killing intent.

However, Bai Yu was not intimidated. He remained calm and composed, even feigning surprise as he said:

"Thank you so much for saving me, senior! Are you Liu Erlong, one of the Golden Iron Triangle back then? I am a student at Shrek Academy, my dean is Flander, and my teacher is Master Yu Xiaogang. I have heard of your reputation!"

After hearing Bai Yu's words, Liu Erlong was stunned, and asked with a complicated expression:

"Xiao Gang, is he alright?"
