Douluo Continent Episode 10 Recap
> Douluo Continent Recap
Tang San and Xiao Wu came to the grave site, but did not see Ma Hongjun, nor did they find a new grave. The two of them went to the village to inquire about news. Besides learning that Ma Hongjun had not eaten or stayed at any household, they found nothing else. Tang San discovered a strange thing: there were clearly many chickens in the village, but there was no chicken manure on the ground.
He was utterly puzzled and had no choice but to take Xiao Wu to other places to investigate. Hu Liena quickly found Ma Hongjun in the burnt house that was a complete mess. The red-eyed black monster was also there. Ma Hongjun was so scared he ran off, and the monster instantly disappeared. Tang San and Xiao Wu rushed over upon hearing the news and asked Hu Liena about the cause.
Hu Liena casually answered a few words, claiming over and over that she was just an auditor. Tang San and Xiao Wu had to return to the village chief's house first. Hu Liena promised to notify them if she saw the monster again. Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing walked around the village for an afternoon and finally found Ma Hongjun. When Ma Hongjun saw them, he hurriedly ran away.
The two of them chased desperately, all the way to the vicinity of the village chief's house. Ma Hongjun suddenly disappeared. Dai Mubai asked the village chief, who knew nothing about it. Ou Si Ke also testified that he hadn't seen Ma Hongjun. Zhu Zhuqing challenged Dai Mubai again, and accidentally knocked over the straw shed in the courtyard. The two of them had no choice but to set the straw shed back up.
Tang San and Xiao Wu asked the village chief about Ma Hongjun's situation. The village chief understated that Ma Hongjun's family had suffered a misfortune, and he was afraid to see people due to fear. He said Ma Hongjun would naturally come out after they left.
The village chief promised to settle Ma Hongjun in a villager's home and urged Tang San and the others to leave as soon as possible, telling them to focus on cultivation and not waste time on small matters in the village. Lan De and Yu Xiaogang camped at the village entrance, waiting for the students to return. Lan De did not dare to approach the village; the black monster was very sensitive.
Once it sensed powerful Soul Masters, it would hide and not show itself. Lan De had no choice but to send the students into the village, hoping they would lure the monster out. Tang San asked Dai Mubai for leave, wanting to look for Ma Hongjun again after dark, and revealed that Hu Liena had seen the monster. Dai Mubai quickly went to find Hu Liena to clarify.
It turned out that Ma Hongjun was hiding in the village chief's house. He wanted to see his father, which was why he went out secretly despite the village chief's dissuasion. The village chief clearly stated that his father was no longer a human and promised to find a way for them to meet after Tang San and others left. Hu Liena saw the monster again in the burnt house.
The monster was scared and dodged left and right, refusing to leave the house. Hu Liena guessed that it still had something unfinished to do. The monster was scared and fled in a panic. Hu Liena chased after it relentlessly. That night, Tang San and Xiao Wu sat in the courtyard and talked.
Xiao Wu yearned for a life where she could do whatever she wanted, but the more people she met, the more rules there were, which she was very unaccustomed to. Tang San felt that having many rules wasn't a bad thing; otherwise, the two of them wouldn't have met. Xiao Wu wanted to stay in school forever so she could always be with Tang San.
Xiao Wu suddenly heard the sound of arguing and quickly took Tang San to watch the excitement. From a distance, they saw Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai arguing. Zhu Zhuqing claimed to be Dai Mubai's fiancée and was here to break off the engagement. Dai Mubai was very resistant to this marriage and had long wanted to break off the engagement.
Zhu Zhuqing condemned Dai Mubai for kissing her back then, which made her family mistakenly think they were very much in love. Zhu Zhuqing became more and more emotional as she spoke, finally crying and running away. Hu Liena arrived afterward. When she learned that Zhu Zhuqing was Dai Mubai's fiancée, she came to negotiate with Dai Mubai. She promised to tell Dai Mubai the monster's whereabouts, provided Dai Mubai explained his relationship with Zhu Zhuqing in detail.
Dai Mubai was eager to find the monster, so he followed Hu Liena to that empty house. Tang San was worried Dai Mubai would be at a disadvantage, so he followed closely with Xiao Wu. Tang San found the street deserted; all the chickens that were there during the day had disappeared. Hu Liena took Dai Mubai to the house and opened a door that couldn't be seen from the outside.
Outside the door was also a village, but it was empty. The two of them went into the village to investigate. Tang San and Xiao Wu also followed, but found no clues. They returned to the house and suddenly saw a chicken. Xiao Wu determined that the chicken was there to monitor them. Tang San took Xiao Wu out through that door again and searched the empty village. Xiao Wu felt a sad atmosphere in the village.
They suddenly saw Dai Mubai collapsed by the roadside. Hu Liena claimed she had just lured the monster away. Tang San saw that she had an injury on her hand but didn't think too much of it, and carried Dai Mubai back to the house. Hu Liena only knew that the monster was very strong and Dai Mubai had been injured head-on by it. The next morning, Dai Mubai woke up groggily.
He felt sore all over and clearly remembered that shortly after he and Hu Liena passed through that door last night, the black monster emitting fire appeared. Neither Hu Liena nor Dai Mubai was a match for the monster and were knocked unconscious on the spot. Tang San told Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing to go find the village chief and say the monster appeared near his house, telling them to lure the village chief out.
Tang San found something was off about the village chief, and there was an extra pair of used bowls and chopsticks in his kitchen, suspecting that Ma Hongjun had been hiding at the village chief's house all along. Dai Mubai followed Tang San to the village chief's house and found that Zhu Zhuqing had already found Ma Hongjun. Ma Hongjun looked dazed. Zhu Zhuqing quickly went to fetch water to wash his face. Tang San heard that the monster had a chance to kill Dai Mubai but spared him. Ou Si Ke had a sudden thought that the monster ate chicken manure.
