The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 380 It seems you also want to catch up with me!

"Why did you get here so quickly?"

Inside the underground space of the offering hall, Qian Renxue opened her eyes in confusion upon hearing the noise.

Li Xun plopped down on the smooth steps: "Not welcome? Then I'll leave?"

It is indeed still a long way off before the agreed-upon time for delivering the supplies.

However, he only came here on the way, and this place is also the closest to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Considering that Di Tian and the other two soul beasts might not have returned to the central lake yet and might be wary of them, he decided to stay here.

"."

Qian Renxue was taken aback, then rolled her eyes and said, "Why are you being so attentive for no reason? Tell me, is there something you need?"

The two had known each other since childhood, so she didn't believe that Li Xun had come specifically to see her.

"I do have something to do and am preparing to go to the Star Dou Great Forest, but now is not the time."

Li Xun took out some food and a pot of wine from his soul tool: "Would you like some?"

I knew it.

Qian Renxue muttered to herself, but still walked to the steps and sat down: "Do you need my help?"

"No need, it's just a small matter. You can stay here and focus on your cultivation."

Li Xun took out a bowl and chopsticks and placed them in front of Qian Renxue, then poured two glasses of fruit wine and handed one to her.

Qian Renxue took the wine glass with both hands and took a small sip: "How long do you plan to stay here?"

She hadn't drunk any alcohol for a long time since the incident at the Spirit Hall.

The initial taste wasn't as fiery and spicy as I had imagined; instead, it had a slightly sweet flavor.

Li Xun estimated the time: "About two or three more hours."

With Di Tian's spatial abilities, Li Xun felt he would be able to return to the Star Dou Great Forest soon.

However, the Demon King was seriously injured, and the first thing they should do after returning to the central lake is to treat him.

The best time is to wait a while and let them disperse.

"Oh well"

Qian Renxue drank the fruit wine in her glass in one gulp.

After downing a glass of wine, perhaps due to not having drunk alcohol for a long time, Qian Renxue's cheeks became slightly flushed.

The wine was good, the food was good, and the two of them started talking more as they toasted each other.

Before they knew it, they were talking about their childhood.

"I can't believe more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye."

A flicker of reminiscence crossed Qian Renxue's eyes, a sneer playing on her lips: "Were you surprised when you found out I was Xue Qinghe, the young master of the Spirit Hall, in disguise?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xun wore a half-smile: "You don't actually think you've done a great job of acting, do you?"

"To tell you the truth, I already knew."

Qian Renxue's smile froze, her lips slowly returning to their normal shape: "Impossible! If you knew all along, why didn't you expose me?"

"Why should I expose you? Isn't Tian Dou doing well now?" Li Xun raised an eyebrow.

"When did you find out I was an imposter?" Qian Renxue asked in a low voice after a moment of silence.

Li Xun thought for a moment: "I wonder if you still remember when I was absorbing spirit rings, you met me once with the Serpent Spear Douluo?"

Many years had passed since then, and it took Qian Renxue a while to recall it:

"You think you can tell I'm impersonating Xue Qinghe just because you saw me like that one time? I don't believe it!"

Li Xun closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and paused: "That's because you haven't heard a saying."

"What are you talking about? What does this have to do with you discovering my true identity?" Qian Renxue asked curiously.

"There's a saying: you can tell a woman's character by her scent," Li Xun said, opening his eyes.

"."

Qian Renxue froze, but her face flushed red in the blink of an eye. She hurriedly put down her wine cup and said, "I need to go cultivate."

"Ha ha."

Watching that fleeing figure, Li Xun's unrestrained laughter filled the entire underground space.

The Starry Sky Forest covers a considerable area on the continent.

This time, Li Xun did not choose to fly quickly to the central lake, but instead started from the outside and gradually approached the interior.

Along the way, they also threw down some hidden weapons marked with the Flying Thunder God symbol.

On the one hand, it's to prevent unexpected situations, and on the other hand, it's to prepare for the future.

Thanks to the successive beast tides, the number of soul beasts inside the Star Dou Great Forest has decreased significantly.

A large portion of them are scattered throughout the Star Luo Empire and places like Martial Soul City.

Even so, he always concealed his presence along the way to avoid alerting the soul beasts like Di Tian.

Li Xun continued his journey, carefully placing hidden weapons along the winding path, towards the central lake.

They quickly passed through the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest.

After you get here, go a little further ahead and you'll see the central lake.

The soul beasts that can live here are already very powerful; they are among the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest with the best chance of advancing to the 100,000-year level.

We walked a little further on.

Li Xun looked around and, instead of acting rashly, leaped onto the tallest, best-growing tree and looked towards the central lake.

Climb to a high place and enjoy the view.

He saw the central lake not far away, its blue waves rippling, just as it had been when he first arrived.

Perhaps because the number of 100,000-year-old soul beasts had decreased, and the Demon King and others were injured, Li Xun did not see any soul beasts by the central lake.

"It seems we still have to use the same method as last time. I wonder if my tunnel that leads straight to the bottom of the lake has been filled in yet."

Seeing that he had not found his target, Li Xun prepared to head to the original location.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to leap down from the treetop, he discovered something unusual on the other side of the lake.

Turn around and take a closer look.

Suddenly, a plume of black smoke rose from the opposite bank of the once beautiful lake.

What place is this?

This is the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, a place only 100,000-year-old soul beasts are qualified to set foot in.

"Could it be that some fire-type soul beast has advanced to 100,000 years?" Li Xun searched through his memories but couldn't find any 100,000-year-old soul beasts he had forgotten.

This is not impossible.

With several successive beast tides, external pressure, and competition among soul beasts, perhaps some soul beasts will truly unleash their potential and leap into the top ranks.

Driven by this curiosity, Li Xun carefully probed with his spiritual power.

Although he wouldn't hunt this 100,000-year-old soul beast, he still needed to obtain crucial information.

To avoid being detected by the soul beasts like Di Tian, ​​Li Xun amplified his mental power, converging it into a beam that swept across the central lake.

The latest novel is first published here!

When his spiritual power pierced through the layers of distance to reach the other side of the lake, he saw the figure sitting beside the rising black smoke.

Li Xun was taken aback: "Tang Hao?"

"I thought he had gone into hiding in some remote mountain forest after all these years without any news."

"So that's where they were hiding," Li Xun murmured.

Li Xun did send Aunt Xue to inquire about Tang Hao and Tang San.

Even Holy Soul Village and that waterfall have been visited by people.

But these two people seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Although this continent may seem to have few important locations, it is actually enormous. If a person does not consider integrating into human society and instead tries to hide, no one can help them.

"Judging from that direction, it should be facing the forests of the Star Luo Empire region."

A thoughtful look flashed in Li Xun's eyes.

However, this area is a gathering place for 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. Why would Tang Hao be here?

Moreover, watching the other person skillfully add vegetables to the pot, it seemed they were already accustomed to this routine.

Mental energy swept across continuously.

However, a long time passed and Li Xun still couldn't find Tang San.

"Since we've run into each other, let's chat for a bit. If we miss this opportunity, who knows when we'll see each other again?"

The world is vast, and sometimes a single parting can last a lifetime.

The Demon King isn't going anywhere, so Li Xun felt it was more important to catch up with old friends.

Slightly damp firewood rose in wisps of black smoke from the fire, crackling incessantly.

Tang Hao used a stick to create a crack in the fire, allowing the wind to blow the flames underneath.

After doing all this, he put down the wooden stick in his hand and put a few mushrooms into the vegetarian pot.

There are no low-level soul beasts in the central area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest. If you want to eat meat, you need to cross the mixed zone to the outer area.

It's not that he lacks ability.

Even if his level drops to 84, the ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts in the mixed zone cannot escape his hunting.

When you're on someone else's turf, you have to abide by their rules.

Although those powerful 100,000-year-old soul beasts didn't say anything, Tang Hao knew in his heart that every move he and Xiao San made was under their watchful eyes.

If you offend those 100,000-year-old soul beasts, it could cause unnecessary trouble.

Tang Hao blew a breath into the fire, and with the help of the wind, the fire quickly ignited.

Bubbling and bubbling, the dark pot churned with water, and the greens and mushrooms swirled and rolled inside.

Feeling that the cooking time was about right, Tang Hao picked up a pair of fairly straight chopsticks and took out some unknown wild vegetables from the pot to eat.

At that moment, a sudden change occurred.

Tang Hao suddenly heard a faint whooshing sound coming from the air, and his originally cloudy eyes immediately sharpened.

Although his body did not move, nine spirit rings appeared beneath his feet.

However, compared to the bright colors of his first eight spirit rings, his ninth spirit ring was somewhat dull and lackluster.

This is a consequence of his left leg being severed and his soul bone being lost. Although his soul ring is still there, his level has decreased, and he can no longer use his ninth soul skill.

laugh-

With a thud as a sharp object pierced the soil, Tang Hao glanced at his feet out of the corner of his eye.

Then they saw something that looked like a small hidden weapon sinking into the mud.

"Friend, can we meet now?" Tang Hao asked calmly.

It's not just because of his strength, but also because of the location of this place.

Given the conflict between soul beasts and humans, if the other side dares to make a move here, they will face pursuit from the powerful beings in the lake.

"Looks like you'd like to catch up with me!"

As soon as Tang Hao finished speaking, Li Xun appeared beside him, gently placing a hand on his shoulder.

The sudden appearance of the person nearly startled Tang Hao, who instinctively threw a punch.

Thud—

The seemingly fierce punch was easily blocked by Li Xun, and then the scene changed between the two to Tang Hao's puzzled look.

Tang Hao was horrified. Suddenly, a Haotian Hammer appeared in his hand, and he swung it forcefully at Li Xun.

"Is this how you reminisce?" Li Xun leaned back, the Haotian Hammer almost brushing past his nose.

Sizzle—

While Li Xun was dodging, Tang Hao quickly retreated, his clothes tearing from the force.
