"Who are you!" Su Tianxuan looked at this person. His instincts told him this man was very dangerous.
The Myriad Demon King glanced at Su Tianxuan. "Level 98! Quite troublesome. If this were somewhere else, this king might not be your match. But in the Star Dou Great Forest, even Di Tian has to fear this king somewhat!"
The moment the Myriad Demon King finished speaking, the surrounding trees also began to stir restlessly.
Di Ruiqiu looked at the Myriad Demon King in confusion. She did not know why the Myriad Demon King had come here.
The Myriad Demon King also noticed her gaze. It looked toward Di Ruiqiu and found that it could not quite see through her. After probing more deeply, it discovered the power of destiny—the destiny power of the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Mm? Isn't this…"
The Myriad Demon King did not say it aloud. It saw the Auspicious Beast making a silencing gesture at it.
The Myriad Demon King was shocked. It had not even known that the Auspicious Beast had run out, and had even transformed into a human. How dangerous was that?
Damn it, what the hell is that dog Red King doing? He didn't even know the Auspicious Beast ran away? If anything happens to the Auspicious Beast, this king will chop off your three stupid heads and use them as fertilizer!
"This is the fifth among the Ten Great Savage Beasts, the Myriad Demon King!" Cai Mei'er recognized the middle-aged man. She had not expected to encounter a Savage Beast before they had even entered the core region.
"Mm? You recognize this king? You're from Shrek? Are all of you from Shrek?" The Myriad Demon King immediately felt that this was troublesome. Shrek Academy still had a Limit Douluo holding the fort.
Although it was deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, and the Myriad Demon King was not afraid of a Limit Douluo here, the Star Dou Great Forest had an agreement with Shrek Academy. This group was clearly part of Shrek Academy's core forces, so it could not casually kill them.
The Myriad Demon King was not someone like Bear Lord, whose brain was full of muscle. It knew how to weigh gains and losses. After all, as one of the Savage Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest, it had to take responsibility for the forest.
"Haah~ I can only do this!"
The Myriad Demon King activated the surrounding plants, causing them to grow rapidly. Soon, they formed huge walls one after another, separating the Shrek group.
"Stop!" Su Tianxuan directly activated his battle armor and punched out.
The Myriad Demon King raised its hand to block.
Boom—
The power of that punch exceeded the Myriad Demon King's expectations. Its arm was directly crippled. In the next moment, a newly grown arm appeared again.
The Myriad Demon King was shocked. "Is this really still a level 98 Super Douluo? Since when did level 98 have such explosive power?"
Su Tianxuan turned into a streak of black light and charged over. The 9 Spirit Rings around him looked as if they were burning.
Cold sweat broke out on the Myriad Demon King. It had misjudged this human Super Douluo's strength. It immediately landed on the ground, then drilled into a tree. Its aura vanished at once. After that, countless vines and branches attacked from every direction.
Su Tianxuan destroyed all the attacks around him, but the vines and branches kept coming endlessly.
The Myriad Demon King watched from the shadows and nodded. "This should delay him for a while. I'll go see the Child of Nature."
At this moment, Su Yunlin looked around. His surroundings were filled with towering trees. The leaves covered the sky completely. The trees here could even block Spiritual Power detection, so Su Yunlin could not sense the other team members.
Su Yunlin turned to look at the three people trapped with him: Tang Wutong, Bei Bei, and Tang Ya. The four of them had been separated together.
"Yunlin, what's going on?" Tang Wutong asked.
Su Yunlin shook his head. "I don't know either. Who knows why the Myriad Demon King, one of the Ten Great Savage Beasts, would appear here?"
Tang Wutong stroked her chin. "Could it be because of your identity as the Child of Nature?"
Su Yunlin pondered for a moment. "It's possible. After all, the Myriad Demon King is also a plant. It belongs to the plant-type Spirit Beast with the highest cultivation on the entire Douluo Continent."
Bei Bei and Tang Ya were both bewildered. What was the Child of Nature?
"I wonder how the others are doing."
...
On the other side.
"Is everyone alright?" Zhang Lexuan held a wisp of silver light in her hand.
Together with Zhang Lexuan were Cai Mei'er, Han Ruoruo, Ma Xiaotao, Li Yongyue, and Mo Xuan.
Cai Mei'er looked at the trees. "This should be the Myriad Demon King's ability. All of you move back a little. I'll destroy them all!"
A set of armor appeared around Cai Mei'er once again. This was her battle armor. Her aura rose by a large margin, and her height increased along with it. The Evil-Breaking Dragon Soul Spear in her hand became even more powerful.
Boom—
Cai Mei'er attacked the trees, causing the strange trees to show signs of damage. But very quickly, countless vines and branches appeared and attacked Cai Mei'er.
"Annoying vines!"
...
Elsewhere.
Huo Yuhao and Di Ruiqiu were trapped together. However, the place where they were trapped was not narrow. It was more like they had been thrown somewhere else. Behind them was a normal forest.
Huo Yuhao tried to use Spiritual Detection Sharing, but it had no effect. The special trees before him blocked the spread of his Spiritual Power.
"Stop wasting your strength. That is the Myriad Demon King's ability. Unless your Spiritual Power is higher than his, no matter how hard you try, it will be useless. Besides, the Myriad Demon King is the Spirit Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest most skilled in Spiritual Power."
Di Ruiqiu crossed her arms. She did not understand why Huo Yuhao was doing such useless work.
"I have to save them. Yunlin and Eldest Senior Sister are the future of Shrek Academy! Without them, Shrek Academy will collapse. I must save them!"
Huo Yuhao switched to his second Martial Soul and prepared to use Ultimate Ice, wanting to see whether it would have any effect.
Di Ruiqiu sighed. In the next moment, she sensed something.
Awooo~
Suddenly, a strange wolf howl rang out.
"Huo Yuhao!"
Huo Yuhao also heard the sound and immediately entered combat state.
...
On Su Yunlin's side.
Su Yunlin looked at these trees. He did not know whether he could control them. As the Child of Nature, he should have this ability, right?
Thump, thump—
Su Yunlin felt his heart beating faster. Then a wisp of golden light emerged from his heart and spread throughout his entire body.
This scene shocked Bei Bei and Tang Ya. Tang Ya felt it the most clearly. The aura on Su Yunlin's body gave her an urge to bow in worship.
"It seems I can."
Su Yunlin controlled that feeling and made the surrounding trees withdraw one after another, returning to their original state.
"It worked?"
Bei Bei and Tang Ya looked around and saw that everything had returned to normal.
Tang Wutong rubbed her chin and nodded. The Child of Nature could indeed do this.
"As expected of the Child of Nature. My methods really have no effect."
The Myriad Demon King appeared in front of Su Yunlin. This sudden scene immediately made everyone enter a guarded stance, but Su Yunlin was not worried.
Even immortal herbs acknowledged him as their master, so this 500,000-plus-year Myriad Demon King would be no exception.
The Myriad Demon King looked at Su Yunlin, then respectfully bowed to him. "Honored Child of Nature, please forgive my earlier rudeness."
"Rise. As expected of the strongest plant-type Spirit Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest. I've seen many plant-type Spirit Beasts, but you are the only one who recognized me when I did not take the initiative to reveal my identity," Su Yunlin said slowly.
The Myriad Demon King chuckled. "After cultivating for so many years, one must make some progress eventually. I do have some accomplishments in Spiritual Power."
Su Yunlin nodded. "Then, Myriad Demon King, what business do you have with me? Do you want the Seed of Life? Or do you want to devour me and become the new Child of Nature?"
The Myriad Demon King hurriedly waved his hand. "Honored Child of Nature, you misunderstand. The Seed of Life's recognition of you cannot be stripped away, unless you willingly plant the seed yourself.
"As for devouring you and becoming the new Child of Nature? That is impossible. Every plant-type Spirit Beast knows that the Child of Nature holds a supreme status. Offending you means offending the entire ecology of the Douluo Continent.
"I am not one of those fellows who only grow in size but not in brains. They will never understand just how noble you truly are."
