Douluo Continent: Starting with a Tom Cat

But the Titan Ape is incredibly fast; even with a speed potion, Shen An couldn't escape.

Looking at Shen An, who was so close, the Titan Ape's eyes revealed a human-like savagery.

You're the one who hurt Sister Xiaowu, I'll crush you into dust!

A giant, hairy hand reached out to grab Shen An, and Shen An instantly felt utterly hopeless.

This was the first time since arriving in Douluo Continent that he had so directly experienced the smell of death.

"boom!"

A loud explosion rang out, and the Titan Ape froze, stopping its movements as if it had been stabbed in the back.

Shen An knew it was Tom when he heard the explosion, but what kind of bomb could hurt the Titan Ape?

The Titan Ape showed a pained expression; its anus had been blown open.

At the same time, a cat darted out; it was Tom, who had somehow gotten onto the Titan Ape and casually placed Tuffy's firecracker inside the Titan Ape's anus, forcibly restraining the Titan Ape for a few seconds.

Tom ran around making a vomiting face as he put the firecrackers in, but he climbed out himself. There was no other way; to save Shen An, he had to choose to suffer in silence.

The Titan Ape's eyes were bloodshot. Ignoring Shen An, all it wanted now was to kill this damned cat. Who could understand the pain of having its chrysanthemum blown up?

Tom stared in terror at the Titan ape behind him, his legs moving like lightning. Every time the Titan ape was about to grab him, Tom would pull back a little, always just a hair's breadth away, unable to catch him.

The Titan Ape's lantern-sized eyes blazed with even more fury. It pounded its chest with both hands in anger, and its roar was like thunder, which made Tom speed up even more.

???

The Titan Ape was puzzled as to why this cat, which looked to be less than a hundred years old, could unleash such extreme speed.

The Titan Ape quickly gave up thinking; its brain was no longer capable of supporting even slightly complex thought processes.

It decided to continue chasing the cat. Its muscles were effective; if it failed to catch up, it must be because its muscles weren't big enough and its speed wasn't fast enough.

The Titan Ape looked in the direction Tom had run off with a hint of excitement in its eyes. Ahead lay the habitat of its elder brother—the Azure Bull Python, the king of the Star Dou Forest.

Hmph, you have a path to heaven but you choose not to take it, so you barge into hell when there's no way out.

With the two kings of the forest attacking it from both sides, this cat is doomed!

Tom quickly ran to the high cliff, where a waterfall flowed. Tom looked into the distance and saw a large lake, remembering his old trick.

Tom raised an eyebrow, a wicked smile crooked his mouth, and turned to look at the Titan Ape, making a face in a provocative gesture.

The Titan Ape was already irritable, and now it was even more furious. It stomped its feet so hard that the entire cliff trembled.

When Tom saw the Titan Ape attacking, he turned around and leaped without hesitation. The cat adopted a standard diving posture, clasping its hands and feet together as it fell. The speed of its descent was so fast that it defied the laws of physics.

"thump"

A slight ripple appeared on the lake water. Tom's swimming style was very skilled. He swam to the shore in an instant with a dog paddle.

The hundred-meter-long azure bull python at the bottom of the lake was stunned. Having spent countless years with the Titan ape, it had already sensed the Titan ape's anger when the Titan ape chased Tom.

However, the Titan Ape was chasing the lake where it was located, so the Azure Bull Python prepared to wait in ambush and give that person a surprise.

As a result, a blue cat fell down. The Azure Bull Python's eyes widened, and before it could do anything, it realized that the blue cat had already swum to the shore.

Tom looked at the Titan ape that was angrily leaping off the cliff without any panic. It gripped the ground with its four paws, lowered its body, and flicked its cat head towards the lake water. It opened its mouth as if drinking a beverage, and Tom continuously sucked it into its stomach.

"Suck ~ suck~"

The Azure Bull Python didn't look at the Titan Ape leaping off the cliff; that height was nothing to Erming. Instead, it watched the cat with great interest from underwater.

The Azure Bull Python, having lived for 100,000 years, had never seen anything like this before. What was this cat trying to do? Was it going to drink all the water in the lake? It was utterly ridiculous, and the Azure Bull Python's eyes were full of mockery.

No! The Azure Bull Python's head, as large as a bull's head, suddenly stiffened. The lake water that had been enough to hide it had already dropped by more than half. At this rate, most of its massive body had already been exposed.

The blue cat had already seen me and was even winking at me.

Tom was actually stunned. What the hell was that thing? It was so huge! He could only blink politely.

"Oh no! Erming, be careful, protect your head!"

The sound, like the roar of a bull, resounded like thunder, echoing in all directions.

As the Azure Bull Python spoke, the lake had been completely drained by Tom, revealing its enormous body.

The Titan Ape, suspended in mid-air, slammed headfirst into the dry lake with tremendous force. Its lantern-sized eyes were filled with question marks: Where is the water?

The Azure Bull Python closed its eyes, not daring to watch what was about to happen. As for catching it, sorry, given the Titan Giant Ape's speed and size when it landed, it would be covered in bruises if it hit it.

"boom!!!"

With a sound like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting open, the Titan Ape's head slammed into the mud at the bottom of the lake, with most of its body submerged in the soil, leaving only its two thick thighs exposed to the air, making it look quite comical.

Without hesitation, Tom slipped away, his belly full of water not hindering his movements at all.

Just kidding, what else would we do if we didn't run away? We took care of one big guy, but there was an even bigger one hidden at the bottom of the lake. It scared the cat to death.

The Azure Bull Python slowly moved to the Titan Ape, which was planted in the soil like a scallion, and suddenly pulled it up by coiling its body around it.

The Titan Ape was thrown out, its beastly eyes filled with rage, and it roared to the sky repeatedly.

Instantly, the soul beasts within a radius of several hundred meters around this point ran frantically outwards, not daring to look back. Oh, and a blue cat had sneaked in among them.

"Erming, tell me the whole story," the Azure Bull Python said, its gaze drifting towards the spot where Tom had left. The cat gave it a strange feeling.

The Azure Bull Python felt a growing unease. This cat was too strange; it had drunk all the water in the lake without changing its size at all.

Wait, if the water's gone, doesn't that mean my house is gone? The Azure Bull Python was stunned again. The lake that had been sleeping for 100,000 years had been wiped out by a cat.

All that's left is the land; the lake, which was once like a paradise on earth, is now completely bare and looks strangely eerie.

"hold head high!!!"

Damn cat, I'm going to devour you!!!

A sound even more terrifying than the roar of the Titan Ape rang out, and the soul beasts, who were already fleeing in panic, suddenly became three times faster.

What's wrong with the two kings of the forest today? They've both gone mad, causing confusion among all the intelligent soul beasts.

Tom sat on the back of a leopard running at top speed. He heard two angry roars. Tom leisurely looked back in the original direction, happily raised his mouth, pressed his paws against his face, and opened and closed his big eyes.

Cat winks!

Next, it's time to find Shen An.

Chapter 89 I am Jerry, from Soto City

"Tom, Tom, where are you?"

A streak of azure light swiftly traversed the Star Dou Great Forest; it was Shen An, who had just taken the speed-up potion.

Although the speed-up potion's effects would last for an hour, Shen An dared not be negligent in the slightest and frantically searched for Tom.

Even though she knew Tom was immortal and had the Superman suit, Shen An's heart still felt a sharp pang when Tom drew hatred to save her.

At this moment, Shen An's soul power was running wildly. He held a brick in his left hand and the unconscious Ye Zi in his right, searching for Tom's trail along the huge footprints on the ground.

Shen An was initially extremely anxious, but calmed down after hearing two angry howls.

If Tom were really in trouble, the other party obviously wouldn't be so angry.

Since such a thunderous roar was uttered, it means that Tom must have somehow tricked the other party.

Shen An stared at the source of the sound, a cold glint in his eyes.

Shen An didn't know much about the plot of Douluo Continent, but he had heard of the two important forest kings.

"A 100,000-year-old soul beast, huh? Wants to avenge that rabbit. Very well, I'll remember that." Shen An muttered to himself as he hovered in the air.

For the first time, Shen An experienced the terror of death. Before, whether it was the wild wolf he first encountered, or Flander, or the Spirit Hall, there was always someone who stepped in to protect Shen An.

But not this time. The Titan Ape's tyrannical and domineering aura left a lasting impression on Shen An.

Even after taking the speed-up potion, Shen An couldn't escape his grasp for more than ten breaths.

The ape-like hand reached out like a mountain, making Shen An acutely aware of his own insignificance, like an insignificant flying insect.

Faced with such top-tier combat power, he didn't even have a chance to retrieve the brick. If Tom hadn't intervened and saved him, he would have been dead by now.

Shen An disliked this feeling of being unable to control his own life and death, and didn't want it to happen again.

The heart that had become complacent after advancing to Soul Master was reignited.

Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, I, Shen An, will personally take your lives in the future, as a way of thanking you for the fear you brought me today!

Shen An stopped gazing and turned to leave. The Star Dou Forest was too vast; finding the cat would be like searching for a needle in a haystack. Therefore, Shen An decided to return to the place where he had dropped the leaf.

He believed that Tom would return, and all he had to do now was wait.

-

Tom sat leisurely on the leopard's back, while the black leopard continued to run wildly as if it couldn't feel Tom's weight at all.

The speed was so fast that it became a black streak, but Tom was completely unaffected and sat as still as an old dog.

Sometimes I can't help but burp, and my stomach makes gurgling noises. I can't help it, I've drunk too much water.

Tom noticed that the scenery ahead looked somewhat familiar, so he decisively jumped off the train. He wouldn't recognize the way if he rode it again, and he would have to go back the way he came to find Shen An.

After all, anyone who has ever gotten lost in the wild knows that if you accidentally lose your friends, don't wander off aimlessly; it's best to go back the way you came and try to find them.

When Tom returned to the original spot, Shen An was hiding in a tree, clutching a leaf. There were too many soul beasts scurrying around, and if he didn't hide high up, he would easily get bumped into.

Upon seeing Tom, Shen An immediately hugged him tightly.

"That scared me to death, Tom. You're not allowed to do such dangerous things again. If necessary, just use the Superman suit."

Tom stuck out his tongue and gestured with his hands.

"Okay, okay, I know you say the Superman suit is important and should be left in key places, but life is the most important thing."

"Even if you don't die, what if they imprison you?"

Shen An kept talking on and on, and Tom nodded obediently. But Tom was a smart little cat and wouldn't be imprisoned.

"But then again, Tom, you smell terrible, like you've fallen into a latrine."

Tom's previously obedient expression froze instantly, indicating that he didn't want to talk.

Damn it, even though it was to save you, I, Tom, absolutely cannot say that I crawled into the giant ape's anus and got his shit exploded inside. That would be too embarrassing.

-

As the two forest kings roared in succession, Xue Qinghe's eyelids kept twitching, as if some great terror was about to happen. Fortunately, things eventually calmed down.

Yes, he's back. Xue Qinghe saw Shen An walking towards her, carrying Ye Zi.

At this moment, Shen An buried the matter of the Star Dou Great Forest in his heart. He would work hard to gain fame points until he had the strength to avenge today's humiliation.

"Excuse me, Jerry, I don't know why I feel like I've met you before, so I took the liberty of asking the shop owner for your name."

As soon as Shen An entered the hotel, he heard Xue Qinghe's voice.

Shen An looked at Xue Qinghe strangely, not only because Xue Qinghe's enthusiasm was somewhat unusual, but also because the words "Jerry Brothers" always made him feel out of place.

Tom next to him was already trying not to laugh. Jerry, you're killing me with laughter, hahaha.

"Haha, your demeanor is also very approachable to me." Since that's what he said, what else could Shen An say? Of course, he just went along with it. As the saying goes, everyone carries a bridal sedan chair.

"Brother Jerry, you entered the Star Dou Great Forest this morning, right? Did you encounter any unusual activity?" Xue Qinghe asked casually.

Shen An's eyes narrowed. This person was no ordinary person; he could sense the unusual activity in the forest from a distance in a small town.

"It's strange, the spirit beasts in the forest suddenly went berserk, but luckily I had already helped this girl obtain her spirit ring and escaped," Shen An said, half-jokingly.

He didn't intend to reveal anything about the Titan Ape. The fact that a mere Soul Master could emerge unscathed from the clutches of a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast was too outrageous and would attract a lot of unnecessary trouble, so it was better to keep quiet.

"I can't believe it. Oh, right, I've been talking for so long and haven't even introduced myself yet. That's really rude of me."

"I am Xue Qinghe, from Tiandou City."

"My name is Jerry, and I come from Soto City."

Xue Qinghe's eyes flashed. Soto City, isn't that where the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is located?

Could this person be the genius boy that Feld mentioned? According to the records, the boy's surname is Shen and his given name is An, which obviously doesn't match the person in front of us, unless... he is using a fake name.

"What a coincidence! I'm heading to Soto City on this very trip. If Brother Jerry is alright, would you mind joining me?" Xue Qinghe smiled, not caring whether it was true or not; he'd find out once they got to Soto City.

As long as he displays his charm and ambition along the way, and then reveals his identity as the Crown Prince of Tiandou, Xue Qinghe believes that recruiting him will not be a problem.

After all, what people pursue is nothing more than fame and fortune, and Xue Qinghe is confident that he can provide these things. Of course, if problems arise, he can simply find a way to eliminate them.
