Douluo: After I Traveled Through the Book, I Became the Big Sister of Shrek

In the middle of the Star Forest.

The Azure Bull Python slithered towards the center of the forest like a swimming dragon. Xiao Wu sat on its horns, which looked like branches from a towering tree, with a worried look on her face: "Daming, you usually don't leave the pool easily, what happened today?"

Daming shook his head and said nothing.

"I have to go back quickly." She turned around and looked in the direction of the people from Shrek Academy. "I can't go any further. Now that I'm out, I'll complete my third spirit ring here."

Daming nodded slightly, his snake tail twitched, and the shaking of his body caused the surrounding trees to tremble. As the signal was given, the Titan Ape slowly walked out from the depths of the woods and excitedly made a coquettish call to Xiao Wu.

Daming lowered his head slightly, put her down, and turned to leave, obviously intending to let Erming stay to protect her. Xiao Wu called him and asked anxiously: "Daming, where are you taking Lulu? She seems to be able to condense her soul ring by herself, and it is very likely that she is the same as us, don't hurt her."

"I understand." Daming didn't say anything, but a buzzing sound came out of his nose. "I just have something to ask this human. There's something special about her."

Xiao Wu nodded. Daming was a very intelligent soul beast, so she was not worried that it would actively harm its companions. It was just that the difference in strength between it and the others was too great, just like an elephant playing with ants. If it was not careful, it would step on the ants to death. So Daming only needed to roar to make the Shrek people bleed from all seven orifices.

Daming is gone.

The scene in the forest gradually became deeper and deeper. The deeper they went, the taller the trees in the Star Forest were, and the more luxuriant the branches and leaves were, as if covering the sky and blocking out the sun, blocking out the light from the sky. Wherever the Azure Bull Python passed, the soul beasts all fled in panic, and there was no obstacle along the way, and they returned to the core area.

As soon as it reached the water pond, it opened its mouth and spat out the deer that it had been holding in its mouth all the way.

The deer rolled on the ground due to the spit. It wiped the saliva off its face and looked like it had lost all hope in life.

Are you polite?

Is it polite to put someone in your mouth?

She wiped her face without thinking and dived into the pool to take a bath. The Azure Bull Python slowly swam to the edge of the pool and spoke in human language: "Come out, I know you can hear us talking."

A string of bubbles emerged from the pool. Lu also emerged from the water and lifted his wet hair: "You deliberately sent Xiao Wu away, what do you want to tell me?"

She didn't even bother to ask about Xiao Wu, nor did she intend to think about the reason why Daming did not avoid Xiao Wu's identity, as if he had already known the truth of the matter; Xiao Wu said that she could condense her own soul ring, but from this human, it did not smell any scent similar to that of a soul beast.

Daming looked at her, seemed a little wary, and did not answer. "There is a strange aura about you." It said, "It seems to be monitoring you."

The deer also said "Oh" and shouted it ten times in his mind, waking up the devil who was still sleeping soundly.

"How many times have I told you that I'm not called Hey?" the demon king was furious. "My name is Tyrant God King, the Supreme and the World's Number One Destroyer Demon Lord!"

Lu Ye: "...Okay Chu Yuxuan, I got it Chu Yuxuan."

Noisy as he was, the Demon King reluctantly shielded her and fell asleep again. After waking up from Douluo Continent this time, he seemed to be particularly sleepy. He had been sleeping for five years, but now he was still like a hibernating snake, only waking up for a few moments during the day.

"Okay." Lu Ye opened his eyes and looked into the copper bell-like eyes of the Azure Bull Python, "You can speak now."

After noticing that the surveillance was blocked, Daming said, "The Xingdou Great Forest is disappearing. You may know the reason."

Lu Ye's expression froze. After a pause, she asked seriously, "When did it start?"

The Azure Bull Python lowered its head, motioning her to sit on top of its head. Lu also reached out and grabbed the hard bull horn, using the strength of his arms to flip himself up, dripping with water, and with one hand he climbed onto the horn and lightly jumped onto it. Daming's body slowly rose, like an elevator, carrying her all the way to a high place.

Looking around, the Xingdou Great Forest was like a green ocean, undulating under the moonlight. However, the forest in the west seemed to be mosaiced, with only a blurry and eye-catching gray and black.

"Nothingness..." Lu Ye murmured, "Erosion has begun to appear."

Daming put her down, lowered his head and said: "The power in you is very similar to this aura, you should know what is going on."

The girl remained silent, twisting her wet long hair with her hands. The crystal clear water drops on her hair dripped down her eyelashes, and the wet skirt quickly spread a dark stain on the grass.

Ever since Lu Ye entered the book, this erosion phenomenon has occurred in every world she traveled through.

At the beginning, a black fog of nothingness appeared in a corner of the world. Slowly, this nothingness will gradually spread and evolve into a huge disaster. Wherever the black fog goes, everything will be swallowed up into nothingness, and nothing will exist anymore; people who are caught in the black fog will become monsters controlled by the black fog and become part of the black fog.

The worse the stability and the lower the world rating, the more serious the black fog phenomenon will be. The first world that Lu Ye traveled through, that is, the Tang Sect world of Tang San's previous life, was completely swallowed by the black fog.

As for the source of the black fog and erosion, no one knows it yet.

This is why even though Lu Ye has always wanted to escape from the system's control, he is still conscientiously completing tasks to change the world's rating. The system seems to exist just to fight against the black fog. The only way to prevent the black fog from coming and keep the world alive is to complete the tasks of the book-crossing system.

"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do about this." Lu Ye said, "I can only advise you to stay away from that black fog."

Daming spoke up at this time: "It's not just the Xingdou Great Forest that disappeared, it's this world, right?"

The deer also raised his eyes.

"You don't have to look at me like that." Daming said, "A few days ago, I suddenly had a dream. I dreamed of... the future."

"I dreamed that Sister Xiao Wu sacrificed herself for a human, that Er Ming died in front of me, and that I also dreamed of my own demise." The Azure Bull Python closed his eyelids, his face full of fatigue. "That dream was as real as if I had experienced it myself. After waking up, I began to wonder, is the world I live in real or fictional? If the world is a box, and we are just characters in the box, then who is manipulating this box?"

Lu Ye never expected that the truth of the Douluo Continent world was not discovered by the protagonist first, but was revealed by a soul beast. The Azure Bull Python, which has lived in the forest for 100,000 years and has never eaten fireworks on earth, actually has the wisdom to see through philosophy.

"You're right." Luye sighed, "Unfortunately, you're not the protagonist of this world, so I can't tell you too much."

Daming opened his eyes and looked at her for a while. He probably understood something and stopped making things difficult for her: "I understand."

It slowly swam towards the pool, submerged its entire body in the water, and soon disappeared under the deep pool. After a while, ripples suddenly appeared on the water surface, and the huge head of the Azure Bull Python with bull horns floated to the surface of the water, spitting out something in its mouth onto the ground.

"This is a part of my soul." The thing that was spit out was a round bead half the size of a palm, emitting a soft glow. "Call my name to it, and I will talk to you. If you need help, you can wake me up at any time."

For a hundred thousand year old soul beast like the Azure Bull Python, the soul is undoubtedly the most important thing. The fact that Daming was willing to give her a part of the soul already showed its trust. Lu also accepted it respectfully and bowed to it: "Thank you."

Daming nodded back at her and sank into the water again.

Soon, the pond returned to its original depth and tranquility.

Lu Ye: “…”

No, man.

You kidnapped me to this godforsaken place, why don't you send me back?!
