Chapter 56 What do you think of Yan Yan? You're Ye Tianchen from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family!
"Yanyan, go and get ready. Tomorrow we'll take this kid to hunt spirit beasts."
Dugu Yan nodded, turned to leave, but suddenly stopped.
She glanced at Ye Tianchen, her gaze filled with shyness, gratitude, and something else entirely...
"Thank you."
She said softly.
"Those two Immortal Herbs... are really important to Grandpa."
Ye Tianchen smiled slightly.
"Of course."
Dugu Yan's face turned red again, and she ran away quickly.
Dugu Bo watched his granddaughter's retreating figure and sighed.
"Kid."
He suddenly spoke.
"What are your thoughts about Yan Yan...?"
Ye Tianchen was stunned for a moment.
"That depends on what the senior thinks of me."
"Originally, I was thinking of setting up Yan Yan with that kid from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family..."
As Dugu Bo spoke, he looked Ye Tianchen up and down.
"But now it seems he's not as good as you."
"I am grateful for your praise, senior. However, I am still young and may have some ideas, but I am powerless to implement them. But I can assure you that I am not an ungrateful person."
"I still believe in you on that point, kid. Let's wait a bit longer, no rush."
Dugu Bo nodded and didn't say anything more.
"By the way, what kind of spirit beast do you need? Do you have any ideas?"
"Dragons or sub-dragons, preferably with both wind and thunder attributes."
"Dragons or sub-dragons? It's not only the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon spirit that can..."
Dugu Bo suddenly froze, and when he looked at Ye Tianchen again, his eyes were wide open.
"Wait, kid, you wouldn't happen to be Ye Tianchen, the one who voluntarily left the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, would you?!"
Although Yu Yuanzhen blocked the information, that only applied to ordinary people. For a Title Douluo of Dugu Bo's stature, it was not difficult to know such information.
"Am I already that famous?"
Ye Tianchen chuckled softly, a hint of helplessness on his face.
"It really is you, kid, but weren't you just a kid six months ago..."
Dugu Bo suddenly stopped.
"Alright, everyone has secrets, so I won't ask any more questions. However, I'm now looking forward to seeing the old dragon's expression when he sees you again. I thought he was just chasing away a mudfish, but I didn't expect him to be the only true dragon in the family."
A smile appeared on Dugu Bo's lips, as if he was looking forward to it.
Faced with Dugu Bo's perverse sense of humor, Ye Tianchen simply shook his head with a laugh.
"The Sunset Forest is mostly inhabited by insect- and plant-based spirit beasts; there aren't any dragon-like ones. In that case, let's go to the Star Dou Great Forest."
Having lived in Sunset Forest for so many years, Dugu Bo not only knew the forest inside and out, but he also had a pretty good understanding of it.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, senior."
Ye Tianchen bowed and thanked him.
"Why are you being so polite with me? Let Yan Yan pack her things quickly, and then we'll set off."
...
Three days later, at the boundary between the mixed zone and the core zone.
Three figures landed on a hilltop; it was Dugu Bo and his two companions, who had been traveling for three days.
"Arrived."
Dugu Bo released his grip and stretched his shoulders.
"This is the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest. Further in, you will reach the core zone."
Ye Tianchen looked around and felt that this place seemed somewhat familiar.
Dugu Yan looked around curiously, her purple eyes sparkling with excitement.
"What a huge tree!"
She pointed to a giant tree that required ten people to encircle.
"They're much bigger than the trees in Sunset Forest!"
"Be careful."
Dugu Bo issued a warning.
"This is not like Sunset Forest; it's not a place for leisure. Even I, a Title Douluo, wouldn't dare to act recklessly, so stay close to me and don't wander off."
Dugu Yan stuck out her tongue and obediently returned to her grandfather's side.
...
At the same time.
Core area.
"This aura... it's the Tianchen brothers?!"
The Titan Ape, who was wielding the stone pillar with great vigor, suddenly stopped, his mouth widening to reveal his long, thin fangs, and a human-like joy on his face.
"So close to him? Did Brother Tianchen come back to see him?!"
With that thought in mind, the Titan Ape gripped the stone pillar and leaped towards Ye Tianchen's direction.
...
"Thousand-year-old spirit beasts are already very rare in this place; most are ten-thousand-year-old spirit beasts. It's not advisable to stay here for long. Tianchen, let's hurry up and find a suitable spirit beast for you, and then leave as soon as possible."
Dugu Bo led the two through the mixed zone, projecting his spiritual energy to observe their surroundings.
"Grandpa, you are a Title Douluo. Don't tell me you can't beat those ten-thousand-year-old spirit beasts. Tianchen once defeated a ten-thousand-year-old spirit beast all by himself."
Dugu Yan followed behind Dugu Bo without showing much tension.
"Grandpa isn't afraid of ten-thousand-year-old spirit beasts, but this place has hundred-thousand-year-old spirit beasts. You have to understand that a hundred-thousand-year-old spirit beast is equivalent to..."
Suddenly, Dugu Bo's expression changed. An extremely terrifying aura was approaching them at an alarming speed!
The aura was as vast as the sea, carrying a suffocating pressure. Wherever it passed, the spirit beasts in the forest scattered and fled.
Birds took flight in fright, beasts ran wildly, and the entire forest trembled.
"Not good!"
Dugu Bo's expression changed drastically, and he quickly shielded his granddaughter and Ye Tianchen behind him.
"There's a 100,000-year-old spirit beast!"
He unleashed his full spiritual power, sensing the location and speed of that aura.
The more he sensed it, the uglier his expression became.
That's too fast!
The speed of that aura was astonishing; at that speed, it would arrive at their location in at most ten breaths!
"You all need to get out of here!"
Dugu Bo said sternly.
"Take Yanyan and run east! He will stop it!"
"Grandfather!"
Dugu Yan cried out in alarm.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Dugu Bo shouted without room for argument.
"That's a 100,000-year-old spirit beast! You'll only be a burden to him here!"
He took a deep breath, his spirit power surging wildly within him. Emerald light erupted from his body, and his form began to twist and expand—
Spirit True Form!
Jade Phosphor Serpent King!
A colossal creature, over thirty meters long, appeared on the spot, its entire body covered in dark green scales. Its enormous head was raised high, and its vertical pupils flashed with a resolute light!
Dugu Bo was going all out!
He knew that the strength of a 100,000-year-old spirit beast was comparable to that of a Title Douluo, or even stronger than that of an ordinary Title Douluo.
He had just broken through to level 93. He might be able to hold on for a while, but definitely not for very long.
But as long as Ye Tianchen and Dugu Yan could escape, he would have no worries. Even if he got injured, he would definitely be able to leave smoothly.
However, Ye Tianchen did not move. He simply stood there, watching the terrifying aura that was getting closer and closer, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
That aura... it felt somewhat familiar.
The next moment, a colossal figure that blotted out the sky appeared in their field of vision!
That was a giant ape!
It was over fifteen meters tall, covered in jet-black hair, and its muscles were as bulging as granite.
It held a huge stone pillar more than ten meters long in its hand, which looked somewhat strange, yet inexplicably fitting.
