In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 235 Xiao Wu Emerges from the Stars, A Stormy Era Begins

Time flows like a gentle stream, and another year has passed.

Somewhere on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, a huge gray gorilla, as big as a small mountain, slowly lowered its body. A little girl with a scorpion-tail braid and wearing a pink dress, who had been sitting on its shoulder, stood up and hopped down to the ground along the gorilla's arm.

Then, the little girl turned around and faced the gray gorilla. The "human" and the ape looked at each other and remained silent for a moment.

"Er Ming."

Before long, Xiao Wu spoke first.

"I'm leaving. I have to go."

"Sister Xiaowu, you..."

Titan Ape Erming opened his mouth, intending to try one last time to persuade him to stay.

"Actually, Sister Xiaowu, you can follow Aunt Rou's example and live in an ordinary village near the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest for a while. This way, you can support your cultivation of soul power without the risk of being discovered by human powerhouses, and it will be convenient for me to take care of you at any time."

"Once you become a Title Douluo, we'll go together and get revenge on those guys."

Upon hearing the word "revenge," Xiao Wu lowered her head slightly, a faint red light flashing in her eyes, before she said in a low voice, "Revenge... Er Ming, the two of us alone cannot do it."

She suddenly raised her head and looked into the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, her eyes suddenly becoming bloodshot.

"If...how despicable...so foolish!"

"Eh!"

Upon hearing this, Erming quickly bent down and enveloped Xiaowu, as if trying to cover up her voice in this clumsy way. At the same time, he couldn't help but look around nervously, as if he was wary of something.

"Erming, what are you afraid of?!"

Seeing this, Xiao Wu not only failed to calm down, but her temper flared up even more.

"It's them, those so-called predecessors. Why did they hide at the bottom of the Lake of Life when they were so powerful? Why didn't they help us back then? They even... insisted on cooperating with humans, and with those humans who killed my mother and Da Ming!"

"They're rejecting the two of us, Erming, didn't you notice? Or rather, they simply look down on us!"

Hearing Xiao Wu's angry voice, Er Ming was speechless.

It turns out that since the appearance of the ferocious beasts a year ago, and their sweeping reforms in the Star Dou Great Forest, it has long lost its title as the former king of the forest.

Led by Di Tian, ​​the ferocious beasts were dedicated to cultivating soul beasts with special talents or functions. Even the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, a soul beast that was originally hated by all beasts, was taken in by Di Tian with great interest and made into a follower, saying that he would cultivate it with special methods.

However, for some reason, Di Tian disliked the Titan Giant Ape and Sister Xiao Wu very much, and rejected them without any attempt to hide it. As a result, all the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest avoided them like the plague, fearing that they would be implicated.

Erming often looked at Xiaowu, who resembled a human little girl, and wondered if it was because of Xiaowu's human form that they were being rejected. But those ferocious beast seniors also frequently maintained their human forms...

In short, Xiao Wu, who was always "fearless," had no intention of trying to curry favor with those ferocious beasts. Initially, she was full of respect and expectations for the suddenly appearing "ferocious beast seniors," but she quickly developed a lot of negative emotions towards them.

As time went by, Xiao Wu learned from the information gathered by Er Ming that those ferocious beasts were actually cooperating with humans, and she even began to harbor hatred towards them, which continued to accumulate.

Although she was fearless, she knew that to those ferocious beasts, she was nothing more than someone who could be easily killed with a flick of their fingers, so she never dared to vent her grievances and just kept "enduring" them.

Her words just now were her final outburst as she thought about leaving the Star Dou Great Forest after today.

Once they enter human territory...

"Anyway, Erming, I'm leaving. Take care."

Xiao Wu calmed herself down, then turned her back to the Titan Ape with a determined look on her face.

"Although they ostracize you, with your strength, you shouldn't be bullied in the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Of course."

Erming nodded, but his voice was somewhat low.

"Sister Xiaowu, do you remember that mountain path? You'll have to walk it by yourself in a bit, and based on Aunt Rou's experience, you'll need to find a human village..."

"I know."

Xiao Wu nodded slightly, glanced at Er Ming one last time, and then ran away.

Seeing this, Erming couldn't help but reach out his hand, but eventually put it down weakly, and then suddenly punched his chest.

"roar!!!"

The terrifying roar shook the heavens and the earth, causing all the spirit beasts within a radius of several miles to flee in terror.

Afterwards, the Titan Ape stopped moving, gazing intently into the distance. After a pause, it turned around and prepared to leave.

It can't go to the Lake of Life anymore. Although it wouldn't be beaten or scolded there, it couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere. If it weren't for ensuring Xiao Wu's safety, and given how vast the Star Dou Great Forest is, it would have already run off to other areas to enjoy itself.

Thinking this, the Titan Ape looked around and soon noticed a mountain range. He decided to go there and rule the mountain for a while.

Just then, the space above the Titan Ape suddenly shattered without warning, followed by turbulent currents. The void suddenly tore open a huge, dark, and deep rift, from which a massive, abyss-like force extended.

Before the Titan Ape could even react, it was swept up by that inexplicable force and instantly sent into the spatial rift.

Afterwards, it seemed as if another force appeared and stitched the shattered space back together, and the scene gradually returned to normal. If it weren't for the trees scattered haphazardly around them, which had just been shattered by the terrifying spatial turbulence, no one would have guessed what had just happened here...

At this moment, Xiao Wu was walking in a dark tunnel. She suddenly paused, turned around for some reason, and felt a faint sense of unease.

She looked ahead, or more precisely, at the road ahead, and suddenly felt an emptiness in her heart, even a little fearful.

It was as if some great terror awaited her in the future.

Xiao Wu immediately shook her head, stopped thinking about it, and continued forward with a determined look on her face.

the other side.

On a small hill rising near a human village, the boy looked at his ragged clothes, gave a wry smile, and as if remembering something, his eyes quickly filled with intense anticipation and a hint of something beyond his years…

Love.
