Douluo Continent: Narration Modified, Plot Begins to Collapse

Chapter 75 Wilderness Survival with Jiangzhu Meng Yiran

When the Titan Ape met Bai Yu's gaze, it clearly recognized him and raised its hand in a rather humane manner, whether to greet him or to pat his head to ease the awkwardness was unclear.

But with just a slight lift of its hand, the several large trees in front of it were suddenly uprooted, instantly exposing it.

Liu Erlong and the Dragon King and Snake Queen were terrified.

"Titan Ape?!"

The Titan Ape was even more embarrassed when it realized it had been discovered. It pounded the ground with its fists, looking somewhat helpless.

But with just a light tap, the earth trembled. Liu Erlong and the Dragon God and Snake Goddess thought it had ill intentions and their expressions changed. At the same time, they released their soul power, enveloping Bai Yu and the other two, and throwing them far away.

"Run! Don't come back!"

Immediately afterwards, Dragon Lord, Snake Lady, and Liu Erlong looked at the Titan Giant Ape and assumed a fighting stance.

Titan Ape: "."

. . . . . . .

boom!

Bai Yu and the other two were thrown an unknown distance and crashed to the ground. Fortunately, they were protected by their soul power and did not faint.

Bai Yu, without bothering to brush the dust off his clothes, helped Meng Yiran and Jiangzhu up and asked:

"Are you alright?"

Jiangzhu shook her head, her expression remaining relatively calm:

"no."

Meng Yiran's face turned pale, and she was completely at a loss for words:

"Was that the legendary Titan Ape? It was as tall as a mountain! I hope Grandpa and Grandma are alright?"

Seeing this, Jiangzhu comforted her:

"Don't worry, your grandparents and Dean Erlong should be able to protect themselves. It's just that our presence will hinder their actions, which is why they dumped us here."

As she spoke, she looked around at the trees and then said:

"The trees here aren't very old, which means we're not far from the forest exit. We'd better leave the forest as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu couldn't help but look at her with newfound respect.

Noticing Bai Yu's surprised look, Jiang Zhu said irritably:

"I'm a support class, but I'm not completely clueless."

Bai Yu smiled, then suddenly grabbed Jiang Zhu, pulled her into his arms, and quickly stepped back.

Jiangzhu exclaimed in surprise. Meng Yiran's eyes widened. Before she could even utter the words "What are you doing?", a spider web covered the spot where Jiangzhu had just been standing.

Jiangzhu was startled and turned her head to look. She saw a swarm of small spiders emerging. She estimated there were about eleven or twelve of them, some of which were a hundred years old, while the rest were only a few decades old.

Bai Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. These were the descendants of that human-faced demon spider? It was probably after he killed the human-faced demon spider that day that these little brats began to roam around the Star Dou Great Forest, and these were some of them.

"Jiangzhu, stand behind me."

Bai Yu protected Jiang Zhu, while Meng Yiran, though pale-faced, also drew her spear, ready to engage in battle.

Jiangzhu said worriedly:

"Hey, aren't you a support class?"

Bai Yu glanced back at her, then took out two revolvers from his belt.

Meng Yiran smiled and said:

"Little girl, just you wait and see!"

Although Jiangzhu was a little angry that Meng Yiran called her "little girl," her attention was completely drawn to Bai Yu as he raised both revolvers and fired them in turn.

Bai Yu, like a Western cowboy, fired with both hands alternately, his bullets never missing their mark, each bullet capable of taking the life of a small spider.

Tang San's hidden weapons could instantly kill these little spiders, so there's no reason why his pistols couldn't.

As Bai Yu reloaded with one hand and fired the last shot, all the little spiders were killed, just like prisoners on an execution ground.

Meng Yiran was stunned. Although she knew that Bai Yu's hidden weapons were something special, she did not expect them to be so powerful that she did not even have a chance to make a move!

Jiangzhu was also stunned. Bai Yu, a support-type Soul Master, actually killed so many small spiders all by himself. What kind of technique was that?!

"Bai Yu, what weapon are you using?!"

Jiangzhu quickly pressed for an answer.

Bai Yu blew on the smoke coming out of the revolver and laughed:

"This is a concealed weapon I made myself; I call it a pistol."

Jiangzhu's eyes were like little stars.

As a support-type Soul Master, she has a natural yearning for weapons that can not only protect herself but also have great destructive power!

She tentatively asked:

"This pistol must have been very difficult to manufacture, right?"

"Not bad." Bai Yu casually made up a story. "The average one is forged from refined iron that's over a hundred years old, with all sorts of mechanisms added, and it takes forty-nine days. The superior one, however, is forged from millennium-old black iron and only takes eighty-one days."

Jiangzhu was stunned.

Meng Yiran was also stunned. She touched the pistol hanging on her waist and suddenly felt a surge of emotion.

Bai Yu actually gave me something so precious. Does he... does he have feelings for me?

Bai Yu was pondering a question: Tang San sold five hundred sets of hidden weapons for five million gold soul coins, at ten thousand per set. If I were to sell my pistol, wouldn't it fetch twenty or thirty thousand per weapon?

What about models like the RPK, AWM, and Barrett? How much should they be priced?

While Bai Yu was dreaming about the future, he, Meng Yiran, and Jiang Zhu searched for a way to leave the Star Dou Great Forest.

However, there were no signs in the Star Dou Great Forest, and the three of them couldn't distinguish between east, west, south, and north. They could only judge their location by the age of the trees and thus deduce the direction of the exit, making it very troublesome to find their way.

Even if Bai Yu took out a compass, it wouldn't help, because he didn't know which direction—north, south, east, or west—was the exit.

As the three searched, darkness fell, and they had no choice but to prepare to spend the night in a cave.

"The situation inside this cave is unknown, and there may be danger."

Jiangzhu frowned.

"I'll go scout ahead."

Meng Yiran's face was a little pale, but she was the only combat soul master here, so she had to step forward.

However, Bai Yu had already secretly sent his soul pets in to scout ahead. Apart from some very weak bats, there weren't many soul beasts in the cave.

But Meng Yiran and Jiangzhu didn't know that Meng Yiran was walking in front, with Bai Yu and Jiangzhu following closely behind. The two were terrified, while Bai Yu remained calm.

Suddenly, a swarm of bats were startled and flew out from the depths of the cave. Meng Yiran was startled, screamed, and instinctively threw herself into Bai Yu's arms.

Feeling the warm, delicate body in his arms, Bai Yu was stunned.

My goodness, there was an unexpected bonus?

After the bats flew away, Bai Yu coughed twice:

"Ahem!"

Meng Yiran didn't react at first, until she saw Jiang Zhu's slightly flushed face next to her. Then she realized what was happening and quickly pushed Bai Yu away.

"You, you, you! You dare to take advantage of me! I'm going to tell my grandparents, and you'll regret it!"

Bai Yu said innocently:

"Nonsense, you were the one who pounced on me. If anyone's taking advantage of me, it's you."

Meng Yiran blushed, whether from anger or embarrassment, it was hard to tell.

Jiangzhu coughed twice, but she couldn't suppress the urge to smile.

"Alright, alright, now's not the time to talk about this. Let's continue exploring."

The three continued forward; there was no danger inside the cave.

Bai Yu said:

"Jiangzhu, go find some kindling in the cave. Yiran, you and I will go outside and find some kindling too, and while we're at it, we'll catch a few wild animals to roast and eat."

Meng Yiran nodded, and the two walked out of the cave, but did not go too far, because Jiangzhu was still inside.

The two gathered some wood and caught two rabbits and a wild boar for dinner before heading into the cave.

Suddenly, their expressions changed simultaneously.

Meng Yiran's expression changed because she saw Jiangzhu lying on the ground, her face pale and her expression stiff, as if she had been poisoned!

Bai Yu's expression changed because he clearly realized that he had been dragged into an illusion!
