"and many more……"

Bibi Dong frowned, quickly stepped forward, and said with a hint of reproach in her voice, "Why did you come out? Didn't I tell you to rest properly? Your body can't take any more strain."

Xuan Hao raised his head, his sky-blue pupils fixed on Bibi Dong, and asked in a hoarse voice:

"Sister... could you take me with you?"

Bibi Dong was stunned for a moment: "What did you say?"

"I said, I want to go too." Xuan Hao took a deep breath and repeated, "Can I come with you?"

Standing to the side, Yue Guan stamped his feet anxiously: "Oh my little darling! This isn't a picnic! This is the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest! We're going to fight the King of the Forest to the death!"

"I want to go." Xuan Hao interrupted Yue Guan, staring intently into Bibi Dong's eyes. "Sister, take me with you."

Bibi Dong remained silent.

She looked at the stubborn child in front of her, her mind racing.

Logically speaking, this operation was extremely dangerous. The aftershocks of the battle in the core area could kill even a Grand Soul Master, not to mention that Xuan Hao was still injured.

The most sensible thing to do is to leave him here to recover.

However, looking at Xuan Hao's complicated gaze, Bibi Dong seemed to understand something.

He was saved by that spirit beast.

Now, his teacher is going to hunt down his savior.

Perhaps he wanted to repay a debt of gratitude? Or perhaps he wanted to plead for mercy? Or perhaps... he simply wanted to witness the outcome of all of this?

Bibi Dong didn't know what Xuan Hao was thinking, but she knew that if she forced him to stay this time, the child would probably have a lifelong grudge.

"Do you know what we're going to do?" Bibi Dong stared into his eyes and asked in a deep voice.

“I know.” Xuan Hao nodded. “Go and capture…them.”

"So you still want to go?"

"That's precisely why I'm even more determined to go." Xuan Hao lowered his head. "No matter what, it's still... a 100,000-year-old soul beast. I want to see it with my own eyes."

Bibi Dong stared at him intently for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly.

"Never mind."

She turned around and strode out, her voice cold as she spoke:

"Since you want to go, then come along."

"But once we get there, you must stay by my side at all times. If you wander off and get killed by the aftershocks of the battle, don't blame me for not warning you."

Chapter 24 Chaos and Redemption

……

Bibi Dong didn't delay. After summoning the Moon Pass Ghosts, she took Xuan Hao and left Wuhun City. She didn't intend to use the power of the Elders' Hall.

Although she has been on the papacy for nearly six years, most of the old men in the Elders' Hall are still observing.

Although Qian Daoliu, that old codger in the Hall of Offerings, doesn't manage affairs, his group of old guys, led by Golden Crocodile Douluo, are all waiting to see her make a fool of herself, and even looking for an opportunity to get a share of the spoils.

If word gets out and Golden Crocodile Douluo, that peak level 98 Douluo, interferes and forcibly intervenes under the pretext of "strengthening the foundation of the Spirit Hall," then it's uncertain whether these two spirit rings and spirit bones will ultimately fall into her hands.

Only Yue Guan and Gui Mei, these two Title Douluos who were ostracized by Qian Daoliu because of Qian Xunji's death and could only cling to her leg, are the only left and right arms she can completely trust now.

……

Starry Sky Forest.

Four figures streaked across the sky like shooting stars.

Guided by the moon, they went straight past the outer perimeter and deep into the heart of the mixed zone, finally landing beside that tranquil pool.

"Your Majesty, this is the place."

Yue Guan pointed to the traces on the ground that had been dealt with but still showed some clues, "The aura ended here."

Without a word, Bibi Dong's body surged with a ghostly green light, and six terrifying black ten-thousand-year soul rings slowly rose up.

"Third Soul Skill, Summoning the Demon Spider!"

In an instant, a sinister and terrifying aura spread out from her center.

The ground seemed to have turned into a death swamp, shimmering with layers of dark green light.

"His-"

A chilling screech of friction rang out, and one after another, venomous spiders, half a meter in diameter and entirely dark green, crawled out from the ground.

They were so dense that they instantly covered the ground within a radius of 100 meters.

This is Bibi Dong's Soul-Devouring Spider Queen's domain-type soul skill. Although its attack power is average, it is a divine tool in terms of reconnaissance and search.

These demonic spiders, formed from death energy, possess a radar-like ability to lock onto life force and specific scents.

"Go, find them for me!"

With a thought, Bibi Dong sent countless demonic spiders scattering in all directions like a green tide, burrowing into bushes, climbing treetops, and even diving underground.

Only the time it takes for an incense stick to burn has passed.

Bibi Dong's previously indifferent expression suddenly changed. "Found it."

She suddenly looked southwest. "They didn't continue deeper into the core area; instead, they're moving towards the outer perimeter? Are they trying to do the opposite, playing a game of hide-and-seek?"

"This is truly divine intervention!"

Bibi Dong's eyes flashed with a sharp light. "Yue Guan, Gui Mei! You two flank them from both sides and cut off their retreat back to the core area! Even if it means alerting those two forest kings, you must keep them pinned down on the outskirts!"

"As ordered!"

Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a glance, their figures instantly transforming into two streaks of light, one gold and one black, disappearing into the depths of the dense forest.

Just as Bibi Dong was about to move, she felt her sleeve being tugged.

She lowered her head and looked at Xuan Hao, who remained silent.

"elder sister……"

Xuan Hao tilted his head back and asked, "Could... I go first?"

"What do you want to do?" Bibi Dong frowned.

“I want to…go and say a few words to her first.” Xuan Hao bit his lip. “After all, she saved my life. I want to…talk to her. If we can avoid a fight, could we…”

"Naive." Bibi Dong coldly interrupted him. "Soul beasts and soul masters are inherently locked in a life-or-death struggle. She's a 100,000-year-old soul beast, every part of her is a treasure. Do you think I'd let her go? Or do you think she'd obediently surrender?"

"But..." Xuan Hao gripped her sleeve tightly, refusing to let go, "It's just a few words! I'll leave after I finish! Please, sister!"

Bibi Dong felt inexplicably irritated when she saw him on the verge of tears, but in the end she couldn't bring herself to harden her heart.

In any case, the situation is now settled. The three Title Douluos have laid a trap, and the two transformed soul beasts are like turtles in a jar.

Even if Xuan Hao goes to warn them, what difference would it make if they run a few hundred meters ahead?

Faced with absolute power, this distance is nothing more than a blink of an eye.

Moreover, with the fusion skill of Yue Guan and Gui Mei's martial souls, she wasn't afraid of the other party resorting to hostage-taking tactics.

"Half an incense stick's time," Bibi Dong said calmly. "I'll only give you half an incense stick's time. Once you're done talking, get back here and don't get in my way."

"Thank you, sister!"

Xuan Hao released his grip without hesitation and turned to run wildly in the direction that Bibi Dong's demonic spider had sensed.

……

Deep in the jungle.

Holding Xiao Wu, Arou carefully used the terrain for cover as she stealthily made her way towards the edge of the forest.

Although the core area is safe, if they are trapped inside by Title Douluos, Da Ming and Er Ming will face an attack from several Title Douluos, which is too dangerous.

So she decided to do the opposite, taking advantage of the humans' belief that she would hide deep within the forest, to sneak back into the mixed zone, escape the forest, and blend into the human world.

Once you enter the vast sea of ​​people, that aura will be completely masked.

Suddenly, the bushes in front of us swayed.

Arou's expression changed drastically, and she instantly assumed a defensive stance, her soul power surging, ready to fight to the death at any moment.

"Don't do anything! It's me!"

A familiar yet childlike voice rang out.

Immediately afterwards, the silver-haired boy who had been rescued by her at the lakeside and then resolutely left emerged panting from the bushes.

"It's you?!"

Arou looked at Xuan Hao, who was blocking her way, her eyes filled with astonishment. "Why are you back? Aren't you...?"

"You can't escape now," Xuan Hao quickly explained, looking at the wary mother and daughter in front of him.

"If you go any further, you'll reach the Pope of the Spirit Hall, and two Title Douluo elders have already taken a detour and blocked your way back to the core area. Moreover, those two elders possess a Spirit Fusion Technique called the Bipolar Stillness Domain. Once they use it, even a Spirit Beast of the Titan Giant Ape level can be frozen in place, let alone you."

"Therefore, using me as a hostage is not an option."

Arou's face turned pale. "Then what do you mean by coming here now?"

“I can’t save either of you,” Xuan Hao said.

"But you saved me. Now, I have a way, if done properly... to save at least one person."

Arou's pupils constricted sharply. "What do we do?"

Xuan Hao didn't waste any words, nor did he have time to explain.

He suddenly took a step back, his whole body bursting with golden light—a completely unrestrained outburst!

"hold head high--!!"

With a resounding dragon roar, brilliant golden light instantly illuminated the dim forest. Two spirit rings rose from beneath Xuan Hao's feet, especially the second, deep purple thousand-year spirit ring, which now burst forth with dazzling light.

Xuan Hao took a deep breath and unleashed the most provocative roar he could muster at the time, directed at the desolate area where ancient soul beasts gathered!

"Roar!!!"
