Soul Hunting Operation (Part 2)

Soul Hunting Operation (Part 2)

Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, beside a broad lake, the Titan Giant Ape told the Sky Azure Bull Python about what it had discovered.

"Big Brother, that man called Kizaru is terrifyingly strong. He wiped out more than ten humans at Soul King level or above so quickly—it's hard to believe. I think we should still be wary of him."

"Oh? I noticed that earlier. The moment I first saw him, I felt that he was hiding his true strength."

"I see. So you noticed it long ago, Big Brother! Haha~"

The Titan Giant Ape scratched its head foolishly. He had rushed over to warn his big brother, only to find that his big brother had known all along.

"Second Brother, I don't think Kizaru is a bad person. Besides, Xiao Wu thinks very highly of him."

"Da Ming, are you talking about Uncle Kizaru?"

Xiao Wu, who had been playing with her mother in the distance, heard Da Ming and Er Ming discussing Kizaru and hurried over to join in.

The Sky Azure Bull Python gave the Titan Giant Ape a look, as though saying, "Just look at Xiao Wu. Do I need to say anything else?"

The Titan Giant Ape understood as well. If Kizaru bore them no ill will, there was no need to worry too much.

"Da Ming, Da Ming, what were you just saying about Uncle Kizaru?" At some point, Xiao Wu had already climbed onto the Titan Giant Ape's shoulder.

"Roar, roar, we were saying that your Uncle Kizaru is a very good person!" the Sky Azure Bull Python said affectionately.

"Of course! Uncle Kizaru told me so many interesting stories before!"

Suddenly, the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape became alert in an instant, both looking toward the direction ahead.

"Da Ming, Er Ming, what's wrong? Is something coming?" Xiao Wu had not noticed anything at all.

After being on guard for only a moment, the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape relaxed again.

"So it's Kizaru. But why has he come back so soon? Could it be that he..." The Sky Azure Bull Python's mind filled with countless thoughts.

Before long, Rota appeared before Xiao Wu and the others.

"Hello, everyone. This old man is troubling you again!"

"Kizaru, why are you back again? Don't tell me you've broken our agreement?" The Sky Azure Bull Python's tone immediately grew solemn.

If Kizaru had violated his promise, then he would not let Kizaru leave so easily today.

While the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape remained wary, Xiao Wu skipped over to Rota and eagerly asked to be held.

Rota picked Xiao Wu up with one arm, making her beam with delight. Then he teased the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, "Oh my, who would have thought that Big Bull and Little Gorilla would be less brave than Xiao Wu!"

The Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python were no longer surprised by such nicknames. They did not expect Kizaru to change anyway.

"Kizaru, answer my question. Don't change the subject."

"Da Ming, don't be so mean to Uncle Kizaru! If you keep being mean to him, I won't talk to you anymore!" Xiao Wu immediately became unhappy when she heard the Sky Azure Bull Python's harsh tone toward Kizaru.

The Sky Azure Bull Python had a headache. Xiao Wu had not even spent much time with Kizaru, so how had she been won over so easily?

Seeing that the timing was about right, Rota knew that further teasing would probably make the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape explode with anger.

"This old man came mainly to give you something and offer you a warning."

"A warning?" The Sky Azure Bull Python was puzzled, wondering what exactly Kizaru intended to do.

"That's right. Tomorrow, Qian Xunjie, the Pope of Spirit Hall, will come here to hunt a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, so you should keep a low profile."

This news struck like a thunderbolt, shocking all the Soul Beasts present.

"Qian Xunjie, the Pope of Spirit Hall? He certainly has quite an appetite, casually setting his sights on a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. But how did you learn of this?" The Titan Giant Ape mocked Qian Xunjie, though he was puzzled as to how Kizaru knew this information.

"Why do I know? Because tomorrow, I'll be accompanying Qian Xunjie on the hunt."

After Rota spoke, the entire area fell silent...

"Uncle Kizaru, is what you said true?" Xiao Wu looked at Rota with wide eyes.

"Yes. You few are rare friends of mine, so I came to warn you."

Rota was not wrong. Since arriving in the Douluo World, Xiao Wu's family was indeed the only group he could call friends.

"In that case, thank you very much! I'm sorry for misunderstanding you just now." The Sky Azure Bull Python was not an unreasonable Soul Beast and promptly apologized to Rota.

"It's fine. This old man doesn't mind!"

"And the thing you said you were giving us?" the Sky Azure Bull Python asked.

"This, of course~" Rota took a Den Den Mushi from his shirt pocket.

Little Two, the exquisite Den Den Mushi, immediately caught Xiao Wu's attention. She hurriedly asked, "Uncle Kizaru, what is this? It looks so fun!"

"This is called a Den Den Mushi. You can think of it as a special product from my hometown! Its purpose is long-distance communication."

Rota felt that a demonstration would be more practical than an explanation.

Rota handed the Den Den Mushi to Xiao Wu, then set her down. Next, he walked some distance away from her.

Just as Xiao Wu was wondering what Rota was about to do, the Den Den Mushi in her hand suddenly rang. She was initially at a loss, but remembering the basic instructions Rota had just given her, she quickly calmed down.

Following Rota's instructions, Xiao Wu answered the Den Den Mushi. Then Rota's voice came from it.

"Moshi moshi, Xiao Wu, can you hear me?"

"Uncle Kizaru, I can! Xiao Wu can hear you."

"That's how it works. You can communicate from very far away!"

After finishing the demonstration, Rota returned to Xiao Wu's side and said, "Xiao Wu, try channeling your Soul Power into the Den Den Mushi!"

"Okay! I'll try it now."

Xiao Wu followed Rota's instructions and poured her Soul Power into the Den Den Mushi. In the next moment, something astonishing happened.

The previously ordinary Den Den Mushi began turning pink, and a pair of white rabbit ears sprouted from its head.

"That's so amazing, Uncle Kizaru! This Den Den Mushi is so interesting."

Xiao Wu was still a little girl, and every new and unusual thing could make her happy for a long time.

"From now on, this Den Den Mushi belongs to you. This old man has one too!"

Rota took out Kizaru's personal Den Den Mushi—naturally, not that unusable black one.

"Hahaha, Uncle Kizaru, your Den Den Mushi looks exactly like you!"

"This old man only brought one Den Den Mushi with me this time. If you need my help with anything, just use Xiao Wu's!"

At this point, the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape also came over to examine the Den Den Mushi closely. To be honest, it was their first time seeing something so miraculous as well.

"I never expected you to have such a convenient tool! I almost want to visit your hometown!" The Sky Azure Bull Python was genuinely interested.

"Better not. My hometown doesn't have a place as nice as the Star Dou Great Forest~"

He had only said it casually. Rota's hometown and Douluo World were not even in the same world. How could the Sky Azure Bull Python possibly get there? Even Rota himself could not return.
