Rabbit Spirit, You Have Chosen the Path to Death!

[Kill Xiao Wu, Take Her Soul Bone]

Even Bai Lu had not expected such words to come from Zhu Zhuqing.

He could not help but glance sideways at her and ask,

"Why would you have such an idea?"

"I just think the opportunity is right in front of us, isn't it?"

Zhu Zhuqing had not been dazzled by the temptation of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

On the contrary, she was extremely calm and rational at this moment.

Since Xiao Wu had chosen to take human form and was close to Tang San, that meant she would definitely return to the human world.

And after Xiao Wu finished condensing her Soul Ring and the Titan Giant Ape left, there would be quite a bit of room to maneuver before she reunited with the Shrek Group.

With her current abilities, if she went all out, she might be able to kill Xiao Wu in a single blow.

After hearing the young girl's thoughts, Bai Lu slowly shook his head.

"No, don't kill her yet."

"Why?"

Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes were full of confusion.

Such a good opportunity, and they were just going to let it slip away?

There might be risks, but the greater the risk, the greater the reward!

If she could obtain a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, her strength might double again!

"The Titan Giant Ape will leave afterward, but it may not go far. And Tang San and the others will arrive soon. There's no need to take this risk."

Bai Lu slowly explained, while continuously recalling and pondering in his heart.

If he remembered correctly, Xiao Wu's Third Soul Skill seemed to be Instantaneous Movement.

As long as that Hundred Thousand Year Rabbit Spirit noticed anything, Zhu Zhuqing might not be able to kill her in one hit.

"If the first sneak attack fails, killing her afterward will become more difficult, and there will be more unexpected variables..."

"More importantly, unless she voluntarily sacrifices herself like I did, your current physique simply cannot absorb a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring."

Bai Lu paused, his tone deep.

"Even if you successfully kill her, you can at most obtain one Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. It would be such a waste..."

"It's just a necessary trade-off!"

Zhu Zhuqing understood Bai Lu's meaning, but she had her own thoughts as well.

To normally absorb a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, she might have to wait until Level 70!

There were far too many variables over such a long period of time!

She was not greedy. A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone alone would be enough to satisfy her.

"No. This Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring is crucial!"

Bai Lu remembered clearly that Xiao Wu's Soul Bone Skills in the Original Work were Instantaneous Movement and Invincible Golden Body, while her Soul Ring Skills were Void and Explosive Kill Eight Stage Throw.

Explosive Kill Eight Stage Throw might not be very useful to Zhu Zhuqing.

But Void was a Divine Skill!

After activating it, not only could it nullify all non-energy physical attacks, it could also reduce the power of any energy attack by fifty percent.

Used on the Hell Spirit Cat, White Tiger, and Hell White Tiger, it would be absolutely devastating!

"But!"

"Be good~ Listen to me."

"Okay..."

The young girl puffed out her cheeks beneath her cold expression, but said nothing more.

She believed Bai Lu was doing this for her own good and was willing to follow his arrangements.

It was just... she was still a little unhappy.

Bai Lu paid no attention.

Little Kitten was just like that. Sometimes, the more aloof you were, the more she clung to you.

You could not soothe her over every little mood swing. You had to train her!

"Stay steady for now. We can look for another opportunity later."

He continued talking to himself. "Anyway, we already know her secret. The initiative is in our hands now."

"A rabbit has to be fattened up before it tastes good!"

"Okay."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded with an icy expression.

Bai Lu did not mind either and continued tinkering with his own things in the Spiritual World.

After the sacrifice, he had gained many things that needed studying—Breath Concealment and Obscuration, Soul Ring Color Change, Spirit and Soul Manipulation, the Eight Spider Lances Devour Evolution Method...

Every single one required considerable effort to study!

For a while, neither of them spoke. They simply observed in silence.

Soon, the blood light around Xiao Wu receded, and the purple Soul Ring completely solidified.

After bidding farewell to the Titan Giant Ape, she skipped toward the direction where the Shrek Group was located, quickly disappearing into the forest.

Within a few minutes, she reunited with Tang San and the others.

The Titan Giant Ape watched and sensed from afar, only secretly retreating after seeing that Xiao Wu was safe.

Throughout the whole process, the Unreconciled Little Kitten failed to find an opportunity for a sneak attack.

The young girl clenched her fists and stared fixedly in the direction Xiao Wu had vanished—Rabbit Spirit, you have chosen the Path to Death!

There was no thirst for slaughter in her eyes, only a desire for a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!

"Let's go. Find some opponents and get familiar with your power."

Bai Lu's voice sounded, shifting her attention.

"If we can find other Man Faced Demon Spiders and kill and devour them, their shared origin may promote the evolution of the Eight Spider Lances."

"By then, the energy devoured by the Eight Spider Lances may not only be usable temporarily. It might also directly raise your Soul Power Level."

He vaguely remembered that in the Original Work, the Eight Spider Lances only perfectly unlocked the strongest devouring ability of this Soul Bone after undergoing Ice Fire Body Tempering and then devouring the Six Thousand Year Man Faced Demon Spider at Level 40.

"Okay, good!"

At the mention of leveling up and Soul Bone evolution, Zhu Zhuqing instantly perked up.

She coldly glanced in the direction Xiao Wu had left, then drilled deeper into the forest without hesitation.

As they ventured deeper into the forest, the age of the surrounding Soul Beasts gradually increased as well.

Hundred Year Soul Beasts became increasingly rare, while Thousand Year Soul Beasts gradually became more common.

Before Zhu Zhuqing could find a suitable target, a pack of grayish-white Thousand Year Gale Wind Demon Wolves caught her scent and surrounded her.

By the time they truly revealed themselves, they had already encircled Zhu Zhuqing completely.

One of the Gale Wind Demon Wolves was noticeably larger and more powerful, with great patches of cyan showing through its fur. It was clearly a Two Thousand Year Wolf King whose bloodline had just awakened!

"Not bad. Just right for getting some practice."

Bai Lu said within the Mental Space.

"Eight Spider Lances, appear!"

Zhu Zhuqing's gaze sharpened, and the Eight Spider Lances slowly extended from her back, their sharp tips aimed directly at the Gale Wind Demon Wolf Leader.

"Awroo~"

The Gale Wind Wolf King stepped atop a boulder and released King's Pressure. Aside from pride, its eyes held only icy coldness.

As a king, even though its bloodline had not fully matured, it feared no challenge!

Not to mention... it was many against one. The advantage was mine!

"Awooo—!"

Thinking this, the Wolf King decisively threw back its head and howled, issuing the command to attack!

"Awroo~!"

All the Gale Wind Demon Wolves immediately sprang into action. Cyan Wind Element wrapped around their wolf claws as they slashed down with all their strength!

Swish, swish, swish...

Wind Blades tore through the air from all directions, shooting toward the young girl who had transformed into Catwoman Spider-Man.

In an instant, the entire area had become a sharp world constructed from Gale Blades.

The entire space left the opponent no room to dodge!

But Zhu Zhuqing had no intention of dodging either!

"Hell Hundred Claws!"

The young girl's second Soul Ring lit up beneath her feet.

Her hands danced, all eight spears moved in unison, and her body spun in place. Claw Blades formed from Hell Energy shot outward like a raging tornado.

They formed an impenetrable wall, intercepting every incoming Gale Blade!

"Awroo~"

A trace of disbelief flashed through the Wolf King's eyes, and it immediately directed the pack to launch a coordinated assault.

However... just as the wolf pack moved, the young girl stomped and shattered the Netherworld beneath her feet, her body flickering like Gui Mei.

The next moment, she had already rushed in front of a Gale Wind Demon Wolf.

An Eight Spider Lance imbued with Hell Power shot out violently!

"Pfft!"

Amid the dull sound of flesh being pierced, a Gale Wind Demon Wolf's body was completely impaled by the Spider Lance.

"Awroo..."

The Demon Wolf howled like a dead dog, struggling desperately.

Yet the Spider Lance in its body was not thrown off. Instead, it lit up with an eerie devouring glow.

The Gale Wind Demon Wolf's eyes rapidly lost focus, while its powerful body, invaded by deadly poison, shriveled at a visible rate.

In less than two seconds, the Demon Wolf had turned into a dried corpse.

As Zhu Zhuqing pulled out the Spider Lance, the corpse scattered like drifting dust, as if it had never existed in this world.

And the Soul Power Zhu Zhuqing had consumed in that strike was completely replenished by the Gale Wind Demon Wolf!
