Others were even more miserable. Most of them had gone past their limits.
They couldn’t even climb back to the hilly area. Even the simple act of climbing required them to rest first.
After Lan Xuanyu gained back his ability to speak, he immediately ordered everyone to rest on the spot. Even going as far as spending the night there. The reason for this decision was because he took account of the monsters’ characteristics on this planet.
From the previous battle, one could see that the monsters here were very territorial. Whenever they kill some ordinary monsters, the leaders of these monsters would come, but once it was killed, then generally there would be no more monsters in the area. At least not within a short timeframe as that area was supposed to belong to the group of monsters killed by them.
It was the same during the previous two days. Therefore, the Two Headed Apes they killed, plus the Two Headed Ape King, should be the ones who controlled the area in front of them. As they were all dead now, there was a high chance that this area was safe.
As for how long, they didn’t know. But they had no other way.
It would be better for them to rest as soon as possible to restore some fighting strength, to the point of at least being able to deal with monsters at the level of the hilly area, and then return there.
Although the battle was fierce, their gains were also huge. The crystal core cut out from the chest of the Two Headed Ape King was as big as a child’s head, the two colors blended perfectly with each other and were crystal clear. A strong energy fluctuation inside could be easily felt, it was definitely a good thing! Although they didn’t know how much it was worth, with this, they were convinced that they would have absolutely no problem getting into Shrek.
After a little rest, Qian Lei’s mood was the best. This battle stimulated him the most, and thanks to this, he gained a new understanding of his Martial Soul.
Without Lan Xuanyu’s assistance, his summons could actually become reliable. Moreover, his ability to fusion with his summoned beast pleasantly surprised Qian Lei the most. This meant that he could also fight now ! Not just watching and controlling his summon from the sidelines.
As for how this fusion should be used, how long it could last, and what type of soul beast he could fuse with, he would need to keep trying to make sure of all that after going back.
But there was no doubt that this battle had greatly improved his overall strength to a new level. At least he himself felt that he finally had the foundation to stay at Shrek Academy.
Lan Xuanyu’s dislocated right arm was already healed, a low soul power also had its own benefits : he recovered the fastest. Ever since his bloodline power underwent a mutation in Shrek Academy, his recovery speed had also increased greatly. After the sky became completely dark, he had basically fully recovered.
Feeling the changes in Lin Donghui’s body, Lan Xuanyu simply entangled him with the golden patterned blue silver grass. Although the golden-patterned blue silver grass couldn’t help improve his combat potential, the golden-patterned blue silver grass could still increase the soul master’s most primitive type of energy. Lin Donghui was seriously injured, and now he could only heal by himself, and if his natural recovering abilities were sufficient, it was obviously the most beneficial way for him to heal by himself.
That night, everyone was really worried.
Understanding the theory was one aspect, but on this unfamiliar alien planet, who knew what changes could happen to the monsters.
However, the scene that surprised everyone the most was not from an attack. It came from Yuanen Huihui.
Yuanen Huihui had not only gone past his limits, but was also seriously injured from the final collision with the two-colored vortex beam. Therefore, he was in a coma for a long time, and didn’t wake up until the sky became completely dark.
However, when he woke up, a strange scene happened.
Lan Xuanyu was right beside him, and was surprised to find that when Yuanen Huihui slowly opened his eyes, his eyelashes seemed to grow longer and his facial lines became softer. His whole body had become more slender. The most important thing was seeing his Adam’s apple on his neck slowly shrink and disappear…
After blinking, Yuanen Huihui sat up with support, rubbed his slightly puffed chest, and whispered: “It hurts!”
Silence, as soon as he said this, there was silence all around.
The sweet and soft voice made everyone’s expressions become weird.
Yuanen Huihui felt everyone’s slightly weird glances, and his body suddenly stiffed, subconsciously looking up, what he saw was a dark sky.
“Ah—” she shrieked. Lan Xuanyu hurriedly covered his mouth. They were still not out of danger yet, what if a monster was attracted?
Yuanen Huihui looked at him, tears gushing out of her big eyes.
“Don’t cry, don’t cry. It’s already like this, and even if you cry it’s useless. We’re all friends who went through life and death together. If this is your secret, we will help you keep it secret. Calm down,” Lan Xuanyu said quickly.
After a long while, Yuanen Huihui reluctantly nodded until his, or her, tears soaked Lan Xuanyu’s hand.
Only then did Lan Xuanyu let go of his hand, but Yuanen Huihui threw herself into his arms and sobbed.
Lan Xuanyu also felt a little embarrassed, but everyone else was surprised.
What the hell was this! Although Lan Xuanyu was nearly at the point of making Yuanen Huihui leak her secret on her own, it was one thing to try, and it was another thing to really reveal it. Who would have thought that it was such a great secret ?
Finally, Yuanen Huihui calmed down and blinked her big eyes to look at Lan Xuanyu, “My secret, my secret…”
Lan Xuanyu hurriedly comforted: “Don’t worry, everyone will help you keep the secret. What happened to you…”
Only then did Yuanen Huihui talk about her situation.
She was from an ancient family in Shrek City, the Titan Giant Ape Clan. In this generation, they were a very prosperous clan with her as the youngest child.
Speaking of it, her origins were somewhat extraordinary, her father was also a student of Shrek Academy. In fact, the Titan Giant Ape Clan had a quota every year to enter Shrek Academy without passing the exam.
Yuanen Huihui’s father used to follow the federal army and worked on the exploitation of alien planets. During this process, humans reached an agreement with the owner of a certain planet.
That was the seventh planet owned by mankind. And this planet was later gifted to the soul beast and became one of their habitats.
Among all the administrative planets, this was the easiest one for the humans to obtain, the Elven planet.
This planet had the best environment among all of the planets under the control of humanity, including the mother planet. The entire planet was covered with rivers extending in all directions. There were no oceans, only rivers and a large number of primitive jungles.
On this planet, there existed a peaceful but rare intelligent race: the Elven Race. Although there were many branches of the elvens, they were generally similar, and they were all very peaceful. They had a long life reaching millennia, but it was particularly difficult for them to give birth to an offspring. Pregnancy lasted over a hundred years. Therefore, the population of this race was particularly small.
When the Federal Fleet arrived on this planet, the strongest elvens confronted the humans and then negotiated. After feeling the strength of human beings, they chose to surrender conditionally. The conditions were simple, humans cannot destroy the environment of the planet.
The elvens actually only lived in a territory that occupied less than 5% of the entire planet. Most areas of the planet were empty. Except for plants, there were only some races with extremely low intelligence.
After many internal consultations, the Douluo Federation agreed to the proposition of the elvens. It just so happened that the number of soul beasts on the third administrative star had grown too much due to their reproduction. Compared with the third planet, the seventh planet was actually more suitable for soul beasts. After negotiating with the soul beasts and fulfilling some conditions, the seventh planet was given to them.
