Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 192 Capturing Xiao Wu

After Yang Ping'an revealed the plan, Ghost Douluo transformed into a ghostly figure and began to lurk around the Lake of Life, carefully exploring it.

Meanwhile, Chrysanthemum Douluo stayed at the edge of the core area of ​​the Great Forest with Yang Ping'an and Li Gui, ready to meet Ghost Douluo at any time, as this place was relatively safe.

Of course, both Chrysanthemum Douluo and Li Gui also found time to absorb their respective soul bones. In particular, after absorbing the head soul bone, Chrysanthemum Douluo's soul power finally broke through to level 97, and his strength took another step forward.

As for Li Gui, after absorbing the external soul bone, his soul power level did not increase because he was only a little over two thousand years old. However, since the external soul bone was located in the spine, its effect on the body was no less than that of the torso bone, and it could also grow, with unlimited potential for future development.

After searching carefully around the Lake of Life for five days, Ghost Douluo finally found Titan Giant Ape and Xiao Wu.

What was terrifying was that they actually encountered the Azure Bull Python. In terms of strength and oppressive power alone, the Azure Bull Python was more intimidating than the Titan Giant Ape, especially its powerful lightning and dragon attributes. Even though Ghost Douluo's soul power had reached level ninety-six, he still felt extremely pressured.

While Xiao Wu and the other two were playing around the Lake of Life, Ghost Douluo, as Yang Ping'an had instructed, merely transformed into a ghostly shadow and secretly observed their movements. He dared not make any unusual moves, knowing that even if Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo joined forces, they might not be able to defeat the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python. Of course, controlling them as in the original story was an option.

However, Yang Ping'an had already confirmed the tactics from beginning to end and communicated with Ghost Douluo repeatedly, determined not to confront these two 100,000-year-old soul beasts head-on, otherwise it would be easy for unexpected changes to occur and for others to take advantage of the situation.

In terms of concealing his presence and evading pursuit, Ghost Douluo is undoubtedly the best in the world. Especially in the dark Star Dou Great Forest, no one can find his presence. Especially since he used the head soul bone (from Dugu Bo), he is only one step away from level 97. It is estimated that as long as he goes into seclusion for a while, he will definitely be able to break through the final limit.

Ghost Douluo was extremely patient, regardless of the time spent. He practically kept an eye on Xiao Wu and the three 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape soul beasts day and night, ready to take action at any time.

The Titan Giant Ape was also very patient. Perhaps out of fear of the other soul beasts, it never left Xiao Wu's sight for even a moment. Every time Xiao Wu wanted to go out and play, they would stop her with various excuses.

After observing from various angles, Ghost Douluo finally found a loophole.

Xiao Wu is different from the Titan Ape and the Azure Bull Python. Having lived among humans for a long time, her lifestyle has become similar to that of humans. Unlike the Titan Ape, she does not live in the forest or in the water. Instead, she built a small wooden house near the Lake of Life, which contains various human daily necessities and even clothes.

While Titan Giant Ape and Xiao Wu were away from the room, Ghost Douluo transformed into a ghostly figure and hid inside.

In the middle of the night, while Titan Ape and Xiao Wu were fast asleep, Ghost Douluo transformed into a ghostly figure and knocked Xiao Wu unconscious before she could react. Then, under the cover of darkness, he bypassed Titan Ape at the door and fled quickly.

Even with the Titan Ape's agile reflexes, it was still just a soul beast and couldn't possibly stay vigilant at all times.

By the time he and the Azure Bull Python reacted, Ghost Douluo had already sped away, a full fifty kilometers away from them. It should be noted that with the speed of a Title Douluo, especially with Ghost Douluo's special attributes, he could fly tens of kilometers in just a few minutes.

Especially under the shadow of the ghost, even Xiao Wu's aura could be completely hidden, making it impossible for anyone to detect or even track her. The two 100,000-year-old soul beasts could only worry helplessly.

When Ghost Douluo's ghostly shadow enveloped Xiao Wu and arrived at Chrysanthemum Douluo and Yang Ping'an's location, Yang Ping'an's face turned grim. The plan was already halfway complete, and the next step was to leave this Star Dou Great Forest as soon as possible. It should be noted that with the speed of Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python, they would definitely not be too slow.

The entire operation was led by Ghost Douluo, whose ghostly shadows enveloped all three of them before quickly disappearing as ghostly apparitions.

It took a full day and night to traverse the more than 1,000-kilometer-long Star Dou Great Forest. Only after the four of them, along with Xiao Wu, emerged from the Star Dou Great Forest could they finally breathe a sigh of relief.

What Yang Ping'an and his companions didn't know was that with Xiao Wu's abduction, the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python were enraged. They not only destroyed a large area of ​​forest but also captured many soul beasts for questioning. However, under Ghost Douluo's shadow, even ordinary soul beasts couldn't find any information. A few soul beasts, however, had seen Chrysanthemum Douluo and Yang Ping'an's group, and even witnessed Chrysanthemum Douluo's battle, making it clear to both soul beasts that a Title Douluo with a chrysanthemum martial soul was operating nearby.

Unfortunately, although the two great soul beasts were powerful, they were ultimately just powerless rage. In the Star Dou Great Forest, they could indeed be called emperors, but if they dared to run into the human world, they would definitely be surrounded and killed immediately.

Yang Ping'an and his companions avoided towns and went straight to a deserted place to rest. After all, Ghost Douluo had been running for a day and a night, and was carrying so many people as ghosts through the Star Dou Great Forest, which was quite tiring.

Looking at the unconscious Xiao Wu, everyone felt very heavy-hearted. After all, a 100,000-year-old soul beast was a hot potato. If the three upper sects or other forces found out, they would definitely do everything in their power to intercept it.

Especially for safety reasons, Xiao Wu was knocked unconscious and kept completely conscious throughout the process. Otherwise, given the intelligence of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, it would be troublesome if she self-destructed.

Yang Ping'an seemed to have thought of something and quickly asked, "Master, I remember your storage soul tool can store living beings. Could you put Xiao Wu directly into your storage soul tool?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo was taken aback. It seemed that no one had ever tried this method before, and he didn't know if it would work, after all, this was a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

However, Yang Ping'an's idea was based on the original story. In the original story, after Xiao Wu's sacrifice, Tang San would always put the rabbit that Xiao Wu had transformed into into a soul tool before fighting, which made him invincible.

After some attempts, Chrysanthemum Douluo was able to put Xiao Wu into the soul tool. So he simply made a huge jade box, sealed it with layers of soul power, and locked Xiao Wu inside the jade box. Then he placed the jade box in the soul tool that could store living things and kept the soul tool close to his body.

After careful consideration, Yang Ping'an realized that there were no major loopholes in this operation. Stealing a Title Douluo's personal soul tool would not be so easy.
