Chapter 76: I suggest killing them all!

A rustling sound suddenly came from the bushes not far from the lake.

"Hmm?" The Titan Ape, which was half-lying by the lake, suddenly became alert and stood up to face a slope at the edge of the forest.

A moment later, a giant seven-colored deer slowly emerged, its fur shimmering with seven-colored light, as if draped in a rainbow.

It stands proudly atop the hill, gleaming in the sunlight.

"Respected spirit of the forest, may I ask what brings you here today?" Suddenly, the lake in the distance boiled, and a huge bull's head emerged, followed by a python's body.

It was indeed the Azure Bull Python.

The Seven-Colored Deer, possessing both spiritual and life attributes, is an extremely rare soul beast. It had heard of it, but this was the first time it had ever seen one. As far as it knew, this soul beast was close to nature, could distinguish good from evil, and was extremely aloof. It only wished to communicate with creatures of pure heart and good intentions, and was known as the guardian of the forest or the spirit of the forest, revered and loved by all beasts.

Although it's not a mythical beast, its status in the Star Dou Great Forest is quite prestigious.

So, the one who died many years ago wasn't the spirit of the forest? Although it hadn't seen it, it sensed the pervasive sadness in the forest during that time. They guessed then that some noble being in the forest had died.

"I'm here to find Arou," the seven-colored deer spoke again, then lightly leaped down the hillside.

In Long Ling'er's memory, she had heard this name from afar.

"Da Ming and Er Ming, I've heard A Rou mention you two before. Why are there only the two of you here?"

"Why haven't I heard Aunt Rou mention you?" the Titan Ape asked, puzzled.

"Because I don't want you to know I exist." The seven-colored deer's voice was flat, adhering to the principle of saying less to avoid making mistakes, and it was vague.

So, this is looking down on us? The Titan Ape's breathing suddenly became heavier, clearly indicating that it was somewhat angry.

"Erming, don't be rude!" the Azure Bull Python shouted softly, and quickly swam ashore.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the Titan Ape and thought, "With your temper, it would be strange if the Seven-Colored Deer wanted to see you."

"Ah Rou hasn't visited me in so long, has something happened?" Zhu Wu, in his seven-colored deer form, continued to ask.

The Titan Ape instinctively lowered its head slightly, its eyes filled with self-reproach.

The Azure Bull Python looked sad and said with some pain, "Aunt Rou, she... she has passed away."

"What's going on?" The seven-colored deer frowned.

"It was a female Soul Master who led the attack," the Azure Bull Python sighed. "At the time, Er Ming and I were patrolling elsewhere, too far away. By the time we arrived, they had already fled. According to Xiao Wu, there were three Title Douluos present."

"Aunt Rou chose to stay behind and hold them off alone in order to cover Xiao Wu's escape."

"Damn humans!" Tianmeng unleashed her mental power in time with Zhu Wu, causing the surrounding air to ripple.

Such cultivation was astonishing; both Da Ming and Er Ming were momentarily stunned by this spiritual force and subconsciously took a step back.

"Where's Xiao Wu?" Zhu Wu withdrew his spiritual power and asked again, "Why couldn't I sense her presence?"

"Like Aunt Rou, Xiao Wu also chose to transform into a human and start her cultivation again. She has been in the human world for more than four years," the Azure Bull Python said truthfully.

"Don't you know what will happen once her identity is exposed?" Zhu Wu frowned.

"Sigh." The Azure Bull Python said helplessly, "Xiao Wu ran away without telling us, leaving only a letter."

"They said they wanted to infiltrate the human world, strive to become stronger, and at the same time find the murderer who killed Aunt Rou back then, so as to take revenge when the opportunity arises."

Strive to become stronger? Seek revenge? That stupid rabbit has long forgotten. Zhu Wu was speechless and sighed, "What's done is done, there's no point in saying more."

As he spoke, he opened his mouth and released a burst of light, inside which was a silver herb, which floated forward.

"This is Star Concealing Grass, which can conceal one's aura when ingested. Since Xiao Wu has gone to the human world, she will likely team up with human Soul Masters. Even if Xiao Wu doesn't need to hunt Soul Beasts for the time being, her companions will, and they will eventually come to this Star Dou Great Forest."

"If you two have the chance to meet in the future, you can pass this on to Xiao Wu."

"Thank you!" The Azure Bull Python was overjoyed and quickly expressed its gratitude, then reminded, "Er Ming!"

The Titan Ape quickly reached out and took it, saying in a muffled voice, "Thank you."

"Consider it a gift from me to Arou," Zhu Wu shook his head, then changed the subject.

"However, I still suggest you find an opportunity to bring Xiaowu back. Since she has been in the human world for four years, she must have already absorbed enough human energy. Continuing to stay outside will not only be of little benefit, but also risk being discovered."

"While the Star-Concealing Grass can hide one's presence, who can guarantee that humans don't have other ways to identify them?"

"In that case, it would be better to let Xiao Wu return here and cultivate diligently. It's not too late to enter the human world to seek revenge after she has reached the mature stage of cultivation, or even broken through to the Title Douluo level. As for her companions, if we encounter them in the forest, I suggest we kill them directly."

"Human hearts are unpredictable. If those humans see your true faces, it's hard to say they won't spread the word once they're released."

"At that time, both Xiao Wu and you may face mortal danger. Although you are strong, you will not be able to withstand a collective attack from humans."

"A short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one. Ah-rou's example is right before our eyes. You'd better watch yourselves."

"Also, remember, don't reveal my existence to anyone, including Xiao Wu!" After saying that, he turned around and leaped towards the steep slope.

"Farewell, senior!" the Azure Bull Python called out politely, watching the Seven-Colored Deer disappear into the forest.

The next second, his brows furrowed, and he fell into thought.

"Da Ming, I think this senior's suggestion makes a lot of sense," Er Ming said. "If we can find Sister Xiao Wu in the forest, let's kill all her companions and bring Sister Xiao Wu back alone, shall we?"

"Hmm." The Azure Bull Python nodded. "Just like you said, it's better to have a short pain than a long one. Perhaps killing Sister Xiaowu's human companions will cause her pain, but it's better than letting her continue to stay outside and risk her life."

"Then let's do it this way!" The Titan Ape's eyes flashed with ferocity. "If Sister Xiaowu is angry, let her scold me."

"."

On the other side, Zhu Wu returned to the two women and said calmly, "I've given them their chance. If they can't bring themselves to do it, don't blame me for being ruthless. For the sake of the grand plan, I must eliminate all potential risks. It's better to kill them with our own people than to be targeted by the Asura God and have the Asura God's successor kill them. Tang San possesses the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul; these two are very suitable."

Zi Ji and Long Ling'er both nodded slightly.

"Then let's continue," Zhu Wu said. "We still have some time, enough for us to travel a little further."

"As for if those two really choose to attack, I have my own ways to get Ling'er out of there..."

As she spoke, she and Long Ling'er transformed into little birds again.

They flew outwards together with Murasaki.
