Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 40: The Core Area Full of Treasures
"Thank you for your help, Erming. Come on!"

Xiao Wu cheered for the Titan Ape with a smile.

"Leave it to me, Sister Xiaowu."

The Titan Ape scratched his head foolishly, agreed with a smile, and his broad back disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.

Xiao Wu looked at the Azure Bull Python again: "Daming, do you have any storage soul guides left by outside soul masters? I need a few to store herbs."

"Storage soul guides? Oh, Sister Xiaowu, you're talking about those little gadgets, right? Er Ming left them in the woods outside. I'll ask him to get them later."

The Sky Blue Bull Python recalled that they had killed many soul masters who broke into the core area and attempted to hunt down hundred thousand year soul beasts.

Afterwards, he and Er Ming dumped the body outside, causing a large forest of bone bamboo to grow nearby.

Soon, the Titan Ape came back from collecting herbs and said in a humble and flattering manner, "Sister Xiaowu, I picked a few of the plants nearby that can be considered herbs. If they're not enough, I can look for more."

He used his soul power to bind the herbs and piled them up seven or eight meters high.

Even if they are medicinal herbs that have not yet developed intelligence, most of them have a growth period of more than 5,000 years. There are many ten-thousand-year-old medicinal herbs, and there are countless thousand-year-old elixirs.

"That's enough, that's not enough."

Xiao Wu waved her hands repeatedly, but in her heart she only knew that Er Ming gave a lot, but she had no idea to what extent.

She finally accepted her second brother's kindness, but did not put the medicinal herbs still covered with dirt into the high-end ball.

Instead, he jumped onto the Titan Giant Ape's palm and patted his rough palm: "Er Ming, take me to where you dumped the bodies. I need a few storage soul guides to store medicinal herbs."

Well, bring two more for Gula and Xiaosan.

Advanced balls are fine for resting and practicing, but they are too messy to store things in. Palm-sized balls are not convenient to store normally, so a special storage soul guide is more convenient.

The head of the Azure Bull Python floated on the water. He originally wanted Er Ming to get the soul guide by himself. How could he let Sister Xiao Wu pick up garbage from the grave?

But seeing how happy Xiao Wu was, the Sky Blue Bull Python wisely did not stop her.

The Titan Giant Ape carefully held Xiao Wu in his palm and ran all the way to the bamboo forest where the body was thrown.

The bone bamboo will devour bones to grow, and with the decomposition of insects and fungi, dead animals will quickly disappear near the bone bamboo forest.

The growing bone jade bamboo is jade white in color, and only after it is cut and dried will it turn into a pale bone white color.

"Sister Xiaowu, those soul masters' belongings are all in the bamboo forest, covered by the bamboo leaves."

The Titan Ape spoke in a muffled voice, fiddling with the bamboo leaves with his free hand, searching for the soul guide.

Xiao Wu clapped her brown and black palms and said, "Let me go. It will be faster if we look for it together."

"Is Sister Xiao Wu leaving?"

Er Ming obediently put Xiao Wu down, his expression depressed and lost, and his search for the soul guide slowed down.

Xiao Wu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Er Ming always acted like a child in front of her. "Don't look so sad. I'm not leaving now. Go find him. I'll tell you about what happened to human society when we get back."

Hearing this, Er Ming immediately regained his spirits and quickly searched in the bamboo forest.

In reality, the Titan Ape was far too large, and the limited space within the bamboo forest meant it couldn't fit. They couldn't destroy the bone jade bamboo that had become their soul beast just to find a soul guide, so Xiao Wu was the one who entered the bamboo forest to search.

After a while, Xiao Wu suddenly stepped on a hard object. When she lifted her foot, she saw a white bone emitting faint soul power fluctuations.

Xiao Wu was confused at first, but later realized that it was a soul bone. Judging from the fluctuations of soul power, it was a thousand-year-old soul bone.

Not far away, Xiao Wu had just unearthed a silver metal storage ring. She slapped her forehead, suddenly realizing, "That's right. Soul bones can't be used by soul beasts and are difficult to destroy. Soul masters who can reach the core area must have reached the Soul Douluo level, and there's a high probability that they have soul bones."

"We can use the soul bones to find soul guides. Erming, stop rummaging around and help sense the nearby soul power fluctuations."

Xiao Wu looked up and waved the soul bone in her hand.

Er Ming understood Xiao Wu's idea, stopped turning the soil, used his soul power to shake off the dirt on the hair on his palms, and calmed down to sense the soul bones buried in the soil.

This process requires a lot of concentration in order to block the fluctuations of Gu Yuzhu's soul power.

Xiao Wu calmed down and didn't disturb Er Ming.

She fiddled with the soul bone in her hand and looked at it curiously.

Soul beasts will not drop soul bones when they kill soul beasts, otherwise soul bones would not be so rare, so this is the first time Xiao Wu has seen soul bones with her own eyes.

"It's nothing special. The soul power fluctuations are not strong. Humans can kill soul beasts for it, just to become stronger?"

With Xiao Wu's simple worldview, she couldn't understand the logic behind it.

"In the future, Gula and Xiaosan will also hunt soul beasts. Will they kill soul beasts for soul bones?"

As if she was thinking of some terrible future, Xiao Wu's face turned pale in an instant.

She shook her head: "No, Gula is not that kind of person. He even advised the master not to kill soul beasts indiscriminately. He is different from others."

Xiao Wu tightened the soul bone in her hand, and a light flashed in her pink eyes. "Oh right, I can give this soul bone to Gula. I can ask him to keep my identity secret and help him kill fewer soul beasts."

Win-win!

Xiao Wu felt that she had won, she was really smart.

Xiao Wu was extremely excited, waiting for Er Ming to sense the fluctuations of soul power belonging to the soul bone, and immediately went to search in the direction he pointed.

The soul bone had been fused by someone and had been buried in the ground for who knows how long. The soul power fluctuations of the soul bone had become very weak, and Er Ming needed to sense it very carefully to find the location of the soul bone.

But looking at Sister Xiao Wu's happy expression, Er Ming enjoyed it and didn't feel it was troublesome at all. He carefully sensed the soul power fluctuations in the bamboo forest and distinguished the ownership of each soul power fluctuation.

In less than an hour, Xiao Wu had three ten-thousand-year soul bones, more than a dozen thousand-year soul bones, and more than thirty storage soul guides in her hands.

Xiao Wu was not at all ashamed of her actions. She used her soul power to clean the soul guides and put them away one by one.

She now realizes the importance of gold coins and knows that storage soul guides can be sold for money and can be used to buy a lot of delicious food, so she works very hard.

He also picked out a storage ring inlaid with pink gems and put all the soul bones in it.

After a while, Er Ming stopped sensing and looked down at Xiao Wu: "I can't sense any spirit bones nearby."

"Ah, it's gone?"

Xiao Wu came back to her senses from her excitement and counted the storage soul guides on her body.

"One can sell for hundreds of thousands of gold coins. How much can so many of these sell for?"

Xiao Wu frowned, then waved her hand: "Why bother to understand so clearly? Anyway, it's enough to know that it's a large sum of money."

She smiled brightly, her scorpion tail bouncing with excitement, "Erming, let's go home."

The Titan Ape spread out his hands and Xiao Wu stood on them.
