Starting From Douluo, Glory is Invincible

Chapter 840 The King

 In the deep and silent woods, an indescribable tension filled the air. The leaves rustled in the wind, as if whispering, warning of unknown events that were about to happen. On a path in the woods, a young man named Shadow was walking alone. His eyes were sharp and deep, constantly scanning the surroundings for any possible potential threats.

Suddenly, a surprised female voice broke the silence around her: "Wow! What is this black thing?" The direction of the voice was not far from Ying, but he did not immediately look back or make any obvious reaction. He knew that in this dangerous forest, any unnecessary action might expose himself and cause unnecessary trouble.

Listening to the approaching footsteps, Ying quickly determined the approximate location of the sound source, chose a deviated path, and walked around quietly. He tried to keep a relative distance from Lin Fan and others while not being discovered. This is a delicate and critical balance, because being too close may expose each other's position, while being too far away may prevent each other from being able to support each other in time when encountering danger.

 However, even though Ying had tried his best to avoid those sounds, he could still feel that those people were getting closer and closer. Their steps were brisk but firm, clearly the pace of three people. This made Ying feel a little unusual, because he thought his actions were secret enough.

When they finally got closer, Ying saw the three figures walking side by side through the gaps in the leaves. Judging from their appearance and characteristics, these three people clearly belong to different races. One is a human, she has typical human characteristics, a strong body and alert eyes; the other is an orc female, with a pair of furry ears growing between her hair, which is a kind of orc. Common cute features; the last one is the elf. She has an elegant figure and slender ears, revealing an otherworldly beauty.

 The combination of these three people made Ying a little surprised, because they were not students in his class, nor were they anyone he was familiar with. In this forest, such a combination is extremely rare. He became curious about their identity and purpose, but he was more vigilant and on guard.

 “There’s someone in front!” The orc woman suddenly shouted loudly, obviously discovering the existence of the shadow. There was a hint of surprise and curiosity in her voice, as if she was unaware of the danger lurking in the woods. As soon as she finished speaking, the other two people immediately turned to the direction of her gaze and looked at the place where Ying was hiding.

 Ying screamed in his heart, knowing that he had been discovered. But he did not appear immediately, but continued to remain still, observing their movements. He knew that in this case, any rash move could lead to unpredictable consequences.

The three people saw that there was no movement in the woods, so they slowly approached the direction of the shadow. There was a trace of doubt and vigilance in their eyes, but more of curiosity and exploration. Ying could feel them getting closer and closer, and the tension in his heart increased.

 Finally, they came to Shadow's hiding place. Shadow took a deep breath and prepared himself for what was about to happen. However, at this moment, he suddenly heard an exclamation...

It turned out that the orc woman who discovered him first showed an expression of surprise and fear after seeing his true face. Her exclamation broke the silence around her and made the other two people instantly tense. Ying took the opportunity to appear and stood in front of them. His eyes were sharp and firm, showing no intention of backing down. When the three people saw his sudden appearance, they were startled at first, but soon regained their composure. They began to look at Ying, trying to determine his identity and purpose from his appearance and temperament.

 “Who are you? Why are you here?” The human woman was the first to ask. Her voice was calm and firm, displaying a majesty that could not be ignored.

Ying did not answer her question immediately, but asked instead: "Who are you? Why do you appear here?" He knew that meeting these three people in this forest was not accidental, and they probably came for a certain purpose. Come.

The three people looked at each other and seemed a little surprised by Ying's question. But they did not show any hostility or malice, but instead had an inexplicable sense of intimacy. This made Ying feel a little strange but also let down some of his vigilance.

“We are adventurers from different classes, and we are here to find a precious herbal medicine.” The elf woman explained, “What about you? It doesn’t look like you are a student of our school.”

Ying hesitated for a moment, but he knew that there was no point in concealing his identity in this situation. So he briefly introduced himself: "My name is Ying, and I came here to practice. I happened to encounter some situations in this forest, so I have been vigilant."

After hearing Ying’s introduction, the three people all showed expressions of realization. They didn't seem to be interested in Ying's identity or purpose, but were curious about his appearance alone in the woods. So they began to chat about their experiences and purposes, hoping to work with Shadow to find herbs and deal with possible dangers.

Ying agreed to their request after considering the pros and cons. He knew that one more friend in this forest would bring more strength, and he was also curious about what experiences and stories these three people had. So they walked together and continued exploring in the woods...
