Shi Hao's Breakthrough! Level 78 Spirit Saint

Shi Hao had not expected this Immortal Herb to be so persistent. It insisted on following him and looked impossible to drive away.

As if to prove its abilities to Shi Hao, the Aromatic Silk Beauty glowed faintly and fused with the little gourd atop his head.

The next moment, Shi Hao felt an incredibly pure force...

His Soul Power began to rise rapidly. Level 76... Level 77... Level 78.

Gaining three levels of Soul Power in a row was truly terrifying. Not only that, Shi Hao felt that he had gained another ability—he seemed to have become immune to all poisons.

The Cave Spider was dumbfounded as well. Its eight watery eyes... nearly burst into tears.

What kind of nonsense was this? Its flower... This was an opportunity it had traded its life for. The Cave Spider knew this might have been its best chance to change its fate.

But the Aromatic Silk Beauty had chosen Shi Hao of its own accord, so it was too embarrassed to ask for it back... After all, Shi Hao had not stolen it. It was the Immortal Herb's own decision.

Besides, Shi Hao had saved its life. Otherwise, it would already have been killed by the Shrek Seven Devils and their group.

"Sorry..."

Shi Hao scratched his head, his little face full of embarrassment. His words had barely left his mouth before he was proven wrong. How embarrassing. Though it truly had not been his intention, the Aromatic Silk Beauty really had ended up with him.

After thinking carefully, Shi Hao took something from his chest. He spread open his small hand, revealing an utterly ordinary... Gourd Shell.

That was right, a Gourd Shell—the shell that had accompanied Shi Hao at birth.

"This... this aura, such pure life energy."

"I feel that if I eat it, even my bloodline will mutate."

The Cave Spider and Demonic Pattern White Tiger both stared wide-eyed. They felt that the Gourd Shell in Shi Hao's hand was even more effective than the Immortal Herb from before.

"Take this piece of Gourd Shell as compensation..."

Shi Hao reluctantly gave a piece to the Cave Spider. Over the past few days, he had eaten nearly all of his accompanying Gourd Shell, leaving only five small pieces.

"Good... Thank you, Boss, thank you, Boss. From now on, wherever you tell me to go, I'll go. Whatever you tell me to do, I'll do it. I definitely won't hesitate."

The Cave Spider hurriedly declared its loyalty, all resentment gone from its heart. Beside it, the Demonic Pattern White Tiger stared eagerly at the Gourd Shell in Shi Hao's hand, drool nearly dripping from its mouth.

"Stop staring. You get some too... After all, you carried me all this way. Father said people should know how to repay kindness."

Shi Hao gave another piece to the Demonic Pattern White Tiger, and it immediately beamed with delight.

The two creatures exchanged a glance and immediately hid away their small pieces of Gourd Shell. Clearly, they intended to refine them properly later.

Only then did this incident finally come to an end.

Da Wa left the Shrek group and continued deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest, preparing to head for Spirit Hall.

The Cave Spider was responsible for leading the way. Of course... it only knew the general direction.

After traveling for many more days, the group finally reached the other side of the Star Dou Great Forest. By then, they had probably left the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire. In other words... they had walked from one end of the Star Dou Great Forest to the other.

This area was also on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest. If they continued outward, they would easily encounter humans.

The Cave Spider was unwilling to enter the human world, and its appearance also made it unsuitable for casually stepping into human territory, so it decided to part ways with Shi Hao and the other.

"Little Spider, be good... I'll come back to see you someday."

Over this period, Shi Hao had developed a good friendship with the Cave Spider. After all, he could only talk to the two soul beasts during this time.

"Got it... Boss, don't worry. When we meet again next time, I'll definitely give you a huge surprise."

The Cave Spider spoke excitedly. The small half-piece of Gourd Shell Shi Hao had given it had slowly begun to refine over these past days. Once it fully refined the Gourd Shell, it would be the time for it to truly grow stronger!

Shi Hao did not think much of it and simply said cheerfully.

"Then see you later!"

With that, he rode the Demonic Pattern White Tiger toward the distance.

Along the way, Shi Hao gradually forgot the unpleasantness with the Shrek Seven Devils and their group, becoming lively again. He seemed to feel that Spirit City was not far away now. That meant he could rescue Mother, and Shi Hao was extremely excited.

"Charge, charge... Smash Spirit Hall and rescue beautiful Mother!"

"My younger brothers and sisters are still waiting for me... Father too."

Suddenly, Shi Hao's gaze was drawn to a dazzling sea of flowers. His eyes instantly widened, gleaming with delight, as though he had discovered a brand-new and wondrous world.

Like a little wild horse breaking free of its reins, Shi Hao excitedly leaped down from the tiger's back. A radiant smile bloomed across his face like sunlight as he kept shouting:

"Wow, so many pretty flowers!

"Can these flowers be eaten?"

"Big Tiger, this place is so strange. There are so many flowers and plants."

Shi Hao had clearly been drawn in by something new again. The Demonic Pattern White Tiger had seen it so often over the past few days that it was no longer surprised.

The tiger shook its head and silently prayed for the flowers, hoping that little ancestor would not chew them all up.

"They can't be eaten."

Shi Hao lowered his head in disappointment, but the next moment, he brought his hands together and pulled up an entire patch of flowers by the roots, exposing the color of the soil beneath.

Hehehe!

He started playing around.

"Gasp, he really has limitless strength."

The Demonic Pattern White Tiger sucked in a cold breath.

Gurgle... Gurgle...

Two gurgling sounds came from Shi Hao's and the Demonic Pattern White Tiger's stomachs respectively. Clearly, they were both hungry.

"Crunch, crunch..."

Shi Hao took out his Gourd Shell and began eating it skillfully. However, he only ate a very small piece. Eating Gourd Shell was the fastest way to fill his stomach, though it did not taste very good. Crumbs from the Gourd Shell covered the area around his mouth.

"Big Tiger, do you still have beast milk? Father said that after eating Gourd Shell, I have to drink beast milk so I won't choke."

Demonic Pattern White Tiger: "???"

The Demonic Pattern White Tiger immediately retreated a huge step. Over the past few days, Shi Hao had nearly sucked it dry. There was none left—not even a single drop!

The Demonic Pattern White Tiger looked troubled. Just then, a sound came from the bushes beside them, and it hurriedly looked over.

A pair of green eyes gazed eerily at them. The Demonic Pattern White Tiger's eyes lit up.

It was a wolf-type soul beast, seemingly at the ten-thousand-year level of cultivation. However, it looked as though it had only just broken through.

The Demonic Pattern White Tiger's eyes immediately lit up.

It could not help thinking that perhaps little ancestor's beast milk and its own food had both been taken care of. Speaking to Shi Hao in the beast language, it said:

"Little Ancestor, just sit here in the grass and wait for me. I'll find beast milk for you to drink, and I'll have a full meal while I'm at it."

Shi Hao nodded eagerly and said happily, "Then go, Big Cat. Come back early."

It then chased after the Magic Wind Wolf. Sensing the powerful threat of the Demonic Pattern White Tiger, the Magic Wind Wolf accelerated almost instantly and darted away. The Demonic Pattern White Tiger immediately gave chase.

Shi Hao waited there, bored out of his mind.
