The four chatted happily. Hu Liena was very fond of Da Wa, finding him incredibly cute.
Da Wa also liked Hu Liena and the other two very much. He felt they were interesting and friendly, unlike the group they had encountered before.
Hu Liena couldn't help but wonder, "Then what's your daddy's name? And what's your mommy's name?"
Hu Liena was very interested in Da Wa's family.
"Daddy is Daddy, Mommy is Xiao Xue, and Xiao Xue is Mommy."
"I mean, what are their full names?"
"Full name... what full name?"
Shi Hao looked confused. For days, Shi Bantian had never mentioned his own name or Qian Renxue's name, so Da Wa's understanding was:
Daddy is Daddy, Xiao Xue is Mommy.
Seeing the earnest and blank expression on the little child's face, everyone shook their heads... this child was probably a bit slow!
They couldn't help but think that he was only a child who hadn't even weaned yet, and he was already out to save his mother. It was truly difficult for the child.
This child's name was Shi Hao. There were no well-known families with the surname Shi on the Douluo Continent...
Hu Liena was very curious because she felt that Shi Hao's family must be extraordinary. After all, Shi Hao was accompanied by a powerful ten-thousand-year spirit beast!
As the personal disciple of the current Pope, Hu Liena quickly realized that some people in Spirit Hall must be involved in illicit activities, such as kidnapping women. She decided this needed to be properly addressed and reported to the Pope.
At this moment, Hu Liena said, "Don't worry, we will definitely help you. We're from Spirit City too, so we can help you find your way. You don't know how to get to Spirit City, do you?"
"Hehe, how did sister know? The big tiger and I are indeed lost. We've been walking in the forest for many days."
Seeing such a well-behaved child sweetly call her sister made Hu Liena's heart melt. She couldn't help but pat Shi Hao's face.
Yan and Xie Yue, who were beside her, signaled to Hu Liena. At this moment, Hu Liena squatted down in front of them and spoke in a voice only the three of them could hear:
"A child so young is out to save his mother, claiming she was captured by our Spirit Hall. I think there must be some misunderstanding. Spirit Hall is vast, and management isn't always perfect. I'll ask the Pope for instructions. Besides, don't you want to help this child? He even saved the three of us. We weren't taught to be ungrateful in Spirit Hall."
"Moreover, perhaps his mother is already dead. Alas, how pitiful. We must find that detestable beast," Xie Yue added.
"Mhm, it's decided. We're definitely helping him."
Yan echoed his agreement.
Hu Liena stood up, as if she had made a decision. Her gaze drifted between Shi Hao and the Demonic Pattern White Tiger. She said, "Then it's settled. The three of us have discussed it. We'll take you to Spirit City to find your mother."
"However, we haven't completed our current mission yet. We need to hunt our fifth spirit ring before we can leave the Star Dou Great Forest."
"But we don't know when we'll succeed in hunting the spirit ring. If you can't wait, you can take my token, and it will get you to Spirit City."
This was not surprising, as when acquiring spirit rings, spirit masters needed to choose suitable spirit beasts to hunt based on their strength and skills.
Furthermore, the environment and conditions for hunting spirit beasts could also affect the time it took. The Star Dou Great Forest was a vast and complex place where spirit masters had to search for traces of spirit beasts and engage in combat. If the environment was harsh or other dangerous factors were present, it could increase the difficulty and time of the hunt.
When Shi Hao heard that Hu Liena and the other two were willing to take him to Spirit City, his eyes immediately lit up.
His biggest drawback right now was that he couldn't find his way... He had already been wandering in the Star Dou Great Forest for several days. Hu Liena and the other two exchanged glances; this was indeed timely help.
"You need spirit rings, right?"
Shi Hao recalled what Hu Liena had said earlier about needing to hunt spirit beasts to obtain spirit rings, and he spoke up immediately.
"Isn't there a spirit beast right here... Didn't you, Sister Nana, want it before? Then I'll give this spirit ring to you!"
"What?"
The three were shocked. This was a living ten-thousand-year spirit beast, and he was just giving it away... If it were sold elsewhere, its value would be no less than hundreds of thousands of Gold Soul Coins!
"This is a ten-thousand-year spirit beast... No, no, this is too precious, we can't accept it!"
"It's alright... You need the spirit ring, and I only need its meat."
Shi Hao said with a smile.
"Besides... aren't we friends? My daddy told me that good friends should share!"
"Don't tell me... you don't consider me a friend?"
Shi Hao's little face stiffened.
Hu Liena and the other two exchanged glances, wanting to say something but hesitating. In the end, they nodded. Since he had put it that way, it was hard to refuse.
"Yan... go ahead. Let's consider ourselves indebted to this child."
Xie Yue looked at Yan beside him. This spirit ring was originally prepared for him.
"Okay!"
Yan nodded and came to Shi Hao's side, speaking in a deep voice.
"Da Wa... from now on, if you ever need anything from your brother Yan, just ask. I will never refuse!"
Shi Hao smiled without saying anything, while Yan walked up to the severely wounded Magic Wind Wolf and plunged his blade down fiercely!
The Magic Wind Wolf whimpered a few times before its life was ended.
Shortly after, a pitch-black spirit ring slowly emerged from the Magic Wind Wolf's corpse!
This is a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring!
"Spirit Rings really do appear after killing Spirit Beasts… how amazing."
Shi Hao watched from behind, excited. This was because both he and his father, Shi Bantian, had innate Spirit Rings, so they never needed to hunt Spirit Beasts to obtain them.
Yan quickly began to absorb this Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring.
Several hours later!
He suddenly opened his eyes, his expression full of joy. He had clearly succeeded, and his Spirit Power had reached level 51!
"Congratulations!!"
Everyone celebrated.
"Next, only Nana and I still need to obtain our Spirit Rings… I hope the next few days go smoothly and we can find suitable Spirit Beasts to hunt."
Xie Yue's expression was a little worried. Suitable Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts were still quite difficult to find. Originally, as part of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, they were qualified to have a Titled Douluo accompany them to hunt for Spirit Rings.
However, something unexpected happened at Spirit Hall, and there were no spare Titled Douluo available… That's why the three of them had come to the Star Dou Great Forest alone to hunt Spirit Beasts, treating it as a trial.
The three of them working together could handle ordinary Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts with no problem.
Of course, they didn't dare venture into the core area because it was far too dangerous.
