As soon as you step onto the fighting arena, the system's reward announcement starts to sound.

"You stole the hero's plot, and he increased your favorability? By 10 points?" The devil complained in her mind, "Did he get hit by a car and his brain got damaged?"

Tang San, who was waiting for his teammates to come back in the spectator seats, sneezed, feeling a little puzzled.

He has always had confidence in Lu Ye, and if Lu Ye could win the game and bring honor to Shrek Academy, Tang San would be happy from the bottom of his heart. But when he saw the return of the Shrek people and Lu Ye standing in the front and nodding to him, a strange feeling suddenly passed through his mind.

It seemed as if something was reminding him that this was not right.

It shouldn't be like this.

It should be him who is greeted with applause, returns surrounded by everyone, and enjoys everyone's support and praise.

Tang San frowned, then rubbed his temple - strangely, his head started to hurt again.

Why would he have such an idea? Now he and Luye are allies, and he is the only one who knows Luye's secret. They have sworn an oath and drank blood, so they should trust each other wholeheartedly.

[Ding! The protagonist's favorability towards the tasker has decreased. Current favorability: 55]

[Ding! The protagonist's favorability towards the tasker has increased. Current favorability: 60]

Deer, who received two prompts in his mind, paused and glanced at Tang San, without expressing any opinion on the ups and downs of his favorability.

"Third brother, your method of detoxification is really good!" Ma Hongjun said, "If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to defeat the Royal Fighting Team so easily. In my opinion, although you didn't play this time, your role is better than that of playing."

Ning Rongrong curled her lips and said, "Sister Lulu is the most powerful. If it weren't for Sister Lulu's overall strategic planning, how could we have won so easily?"

Tang San's performance was still the same as usual. He smiled and congratulated everyone in Shrek, and was concerned about whether Xiao Wu was injured, as if the momentary affection he showed was just Lu Ye's illusion.

After defeating the Royal Fighting Team, everyone at Shrek, including students and teachers, was extremely excited. As soon as they left the Soul Fighting Arena, Ma Hongjun and others asked the dean to treat them to a big meal.

But unfortunately, the deer was no longer able to enjoy this feast.

Daming's soul had been glowing crazily in her system space. Obviously, the other party had encountered an extremely urgent matter. Otherwise, as a 100,000-year-old soul beast, it would not have asked for help from a junior like Lu Ye.

Lu also asked for leave from Dean Flanders, saying that she had something urgent to deal with, and left in a hurry. Flanders was always lenient with students, and did not ask her what was wrong, and let her leave on her own.

After leaving the Great Fighting Spirit Arena, the night had completely fallen. Lu didn't even sleep. He took two flying mushroom sausages from Oscar and rushed towards the Star Dou Great Forest day and night.

Although the mushroom sausage can only fly for one minute, its speed is extremely fast. It can fly several kilometers in one minute. In addition, the deer also uses soul power to travel, so its speed is much faster than before. She has arrived at the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest at dawn.

The forest in the daytime is more majestic than at night. The Star Forest is very large. From the high altitude outside, you can't see anything. The towering treetops of the dense forest are still lush and green. However, when the deer entered the Star Forest, it already realized something was wrong.

The first thing she felt was the noise - yes, as soon as she stepped into the forest, she could hear all kinds of insects and birds chirping, and from time to time one or two small soul beasts would run past her feet, as if they were not afraid of people at all.

The density of soul beasts was much higher than the last time she stepped into the Xingdou Great Forest. This was a very bad sign. For ordinary people, they might not notice anything, or even think it was a good thing because it would make it easier for them to hunt soul rings. But Lu also knew that when all soul beasts were no longer afraid of being hunted by humans and insisted on moving to the outskirts of the forest, it meant that there must be something inside the forest that made them even more afraid.

The deer also walked towards the center of the forest.

The further they went, the more desolate the forest seemed to become. The density of soul beasts kept decreasing, and only a few large soul beasts could be seen passing by occasionally, staring at this human who was so bold as to dare to step into their territory alone. But as soon as Lu Ye entered the forest, he took out Daming's soul. Even if there was only a trace of the aura of the Azure Bull Python, it made these soul beasts feel afraid. After spying for a while, they disappeared into the forest.

When she was about a hundred kilometers away from the center of the forest, she heard the cry of the Azure Bull Python. The Yuanshen in Daming's hand became brighter and brighter, and Lu also quickened his pace, urging his soul power to run towards the center.

The soul beasts within a hundred miles of the center of the forest had already been scared away by Daming's shouting. Not only that, not long after, before she reached the center of the forest, Daming's huge head with horns appeared in the shadows of the trees and leaned towards her.

"Human." It breathed heavily, "You are finally here."

The deer did not refuse, and leaped over and grabbed his horns, then used his body flexibility to flip up and sit steadily on the bend of the horns, asking, "What happened?"

"Er Ming had a fight with a monster contaminated by the black fog." Daming said briefly as he marched quickly towards the center of the forest, "He was injured."

Lu also frowned: "Didn't I tell you to stay away from the black fog?"

"The range of the black fog is gradually expanding. Some time ago, it seemed to have slowed down and stopped spreading, but just yesterday, it advanced another kilometer into the forest." Daming sighed, "The creatures swallowed by the black fog have become monsters that cannot be killed. Erming didn't know the consequences, so he fought with the monster, but he didn't expect to be at a disadvantage."

The Titan Ape was the king of the forest. When had it ever been provoked by anyone? Originally, the spirit beasts in the Xingdou Great Forest did not dare to provoke it. However, the monster contaminated by the black fog had no reason and only knew to kill any living thing it saw. After all, the Titan Ape was a 100,000-year-old spirit beast. In the end, although it completely beat the monster into a meat paste, it was also injured, and the wound was also eroded by the black fog.

"Without undead weapons, those monsters cannot be killed. Even if they are smashed into pieces, they can be reunited after a few days." Lu also shook his head, "The Star Forest is no longer safe, especially the interior. You'd better move to another place to live."

As they were talking, Daming had already brought her to the center of the Xingdou Great Forest. Erming was lying next to the pond, dying, with a cut several dozen centimeters long on the outside of his right arm. However, what flowed out of the cut was not blood, but a foul, black mist.

The black fog would deprive people of their vitality. Er Ming was in so much pain that he didn't even have the strength to scream.

Daming lowered his head and Lu also fell to the ground. He immediately summoned his martial soul, walked to Erming, and reached out his hand to Erming's wound.

Sensing the aura of the monster that hurt him, Erming growled, his voice filled with vigilance and panic. Da Ming snaked over and rubbed Erming's back with his slender body to comfort him.

As soon as Luye approached, the black fog swarmed over like a hungry dog ​​smelling fresh flesh and blood. It gave up on Erming without hesitation and rushed to Luye's arm.

The moment the black mist entered her body, Daming clearly saw Lu Ye's body tremble, and her tightly pursed lips turned two shades paler. Then, the black mist in her body suddenly became turbulent, and the evil spirit behind her automatically expanded like a beast protecting its master, and let out a hoarse roar.

The two black mists entangled and wrestled with each other, devouring and killing each other, and the battlefield was the girl's body. Shikaya's forehead soon broke out in cold sweat, and his veins and blood vessels bulged out hideously.

The threat of the black fog lies in its destruction of vitality and invasion of the mind. Creatures invaded by the black fog will be drained in a very short time, become insane and crazy, and become puppets controlled by the black fog. Deer will not be affected by the black fog, but eliminating the black fog is still a great burden for her.

About ten minutes later, she finally put down her hand. The black mist on Er Ming's arm had completely disappeared, revealing its normal blood color.

"Okay." Luye exhaled and said, "Don't rush forward when you encounter those monsters next time. If the black fog continues to spread, you will have to find a way to live somewhere else."

"Thank you for coming here this time." Daming bowed his head to her, "Sister Xiaowu, how have you been recently?"

The deer also replied: "She's fine, don't worry."

Daming sighed again, probably because he saw the ending of himself and Xiaowu in his dream. He hesitated for a while and finally did not ask anything.
