On the other side, Xiao Wu was lucky to react quickly, and the Lovesick Heartbreak Red concealed her aura. Otherwise, Tang Hao would have almost caught her and dragged her back.
The others still didn't know that Xiao Wu was the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and that she had already escaped.
Tang Hao failed to find Xiao Wu and continued on his way.
Tang San also came over and ran into Ning Rongrong.
"Rongrong, where's Xiao Wu?"
Ning Rongrong was still dazed. "I don't know. She suddenly ran off, and I chased after her with Teleportation."
"What!?"
Tang San's expression darkened, and he flew into a rage. "How can you be so useless!"
"Xiao Wu, my Xiao Wu!"
He didn't waste any more time. Not knowing which direction she'd gone in, he began searching for Xiao Wu.
Ning Rongrong returned, still bewildered, and told the others what had happened. Yu Xiaogang and the others didn't know what to make of it, either.
By then, most people had been distracted by Xiao Wu, and hardly anyone was paying attention to Song Ye.
The only exception was Hu Liena, who had been standing closest to him.
Hu Liena stared intently at Song Ye, utterly confused. "Song Ye, how did you get that question right?"
Song Ye picked at his ear and said dismissively, "What's it to you how I got it right?"
"I guessed. So what?"
"No! You must have figured out some kind of pattern! Come on, share it with us!" Hu Liena scolded him.
Song Ye was completely unfazed. He said coldly, "Since you can tell I figured out a pattern, go find it yourself!"
"If you can find it, you can answer the questions correctly on your own!"
"You!"
Hu Liena's chest heaved. She seemed furious.
If not for the unusual circumstances, she would have attacked him already.
Just then, the Light Screen in the sky continued displaying its contents. A new question appeared:
[The first group has completed its questions! Each group consists of five questions!]
[The further you progress, the more generous the rewards!]
[Continue answering...]
The message drew the characters whose attention had wandered back to the Light Screen. Hu Liena had no choice but to drop the subject and look at the question.
On the Light Screen.
[Star Dou Forest is the largest Spirit Beast habitat on Douluo Continent. It boasts an unimaginable wealth of Spirit Beasts, and even hides countless powerful, unknown Spirit Beasts!]
[Question: What is the name of the ruler of Star Dou Forest?]
The question immediately drew most people's attention back to the Light Screen.
With Xiao Wu gone for now, Yu Xiaogang and the others weren't too concerned. Answering the question was more important.
Yu Xiaogang studied the question, then murmured thoughtfully:
"Alright, forget about Xiao Wu. She may have her own reasons for leaving, and Xiao San has gone to look for her."
"Let's focus on answering the question first."
"As it happens, I mentioned this piece of information to you last time."
"You know the answer, right?"
Yu Xiaogang looked at the Shrek Seven Devils. Ning Rongrong was still worried about Xiao Wu, so he didn't press her.
Dai Mubai spoke up first. "Grandmaster, is it the Titan Giant Ape?"
"The hundred-thousand-year King of the Forest—we've encountered it before!"
The others nodded, too. The hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast had to be the sole ruler of Star Dou Forest.
But Yu Xiaogang shook his head dismissively. "The Titan Giant Ape?"
"You clearly weren't paying attention in class!"
"Mubai, I mentioned this later on: the Titan Giant Ape is indeed the King of the Forest, but above him is the Emperor of the Forest, the Sky Azure Bull Python!"
"Fortunately, Xiao San has a good memory. Even though he's not here right now, I'm not too worried."
"Oh, right, right. The Sky Azure Bull Python."
Dai Mubai rubbed the back of his head and chuckled.
Ma Hongjun and the others couldn't help chiming in with a laugh. "Good thing we have Grandmaster."
"Then this question's a sure thing! The Sky Azure Bull Python, of course. Who else could rule Star Dou Forest?"
The Shrek Seven Devils were completely absorbed in the quiz. They didn't give much thought to Xiao Wu's fate, instead praising Yu Xiaogang as they entered their answers.
Yu Xiaogang maintained his confident air and said dismissively:
"I got the previous questions wrong because of bad luck and misjudgment."
"But this question is in my field of expertise. I refuse to believe I can get this one wrong, too!"
As he spoke, he confidently entered his answer.
Liu Erlong, standing beside him, gazed at him with admiration. She believed Yu Xiaogang had only gotten the earlier questions wrong because of bad luck.
Spirit Hall.
Hu Liena still wanted to ask Song Ye for the answer, but she knew he wouldn't tell her. She could only guess and enter "Sky Azure Bull Python."
Bibi Dong was even more confident. She said coldly, "At last, there's a question I can answer correctly!"
"The Sky Azure Bull Python deep in Star Dou Forest—others may not know about it, but I do!"
"In fact, it's one of my targets. One day, it'll become my Spirit Ring..."
As she spoke, she entered her answer.
A special space.
Ah Rou looked at the question on the Light Screen. She wasn't in the mood to answer, so she casually entered the name Sky Azure Bull Python.
She was still worried about her daughter:
"It seems Xiao Wu has gotten entangled with that person named Tang San!"
"This won't do. If that's true, what if something happens to Xiao Wu?"
"Ah, I hope Tang San will leave Xiao Wu alone!"
A cave in Holy Soul Village.
Ah Yin recalled her memories of Star Dou Forest and murmured:
"Is the ruler of Star Dou Forest really one of those two hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts?"
"Back when I was still there, I sensed an even more powerful force at Life Lake, but I never found out exactly what it was."
"Even the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape couldn't compare to that aura."
"Alas, I still can't move, and I don't know what's happening with Xiao San."
"I'll just guess."
Far away, Tang San was searching for Xiao Wu when he saw the new question appear. He decided to stop for the moment.
He realized what he could do and spoke slyly:
"Good. By claiming I'm looking for Xiao Wu, I've temporarily escaped my teacher and the others' watchful eyes."
"If another question about me comes up, I can answer it myself and claim the rewards!"
"When the questions turn to something about them, I'll go back and say I couldn't find Xiao Wu, then share their answers..."
"I'll answer this one first! Teacher said that the Emperor of the Forest in Star Dou Forest is the Sky Azure Bull Python. He can't be wrong!"
Tang San was just as confident about this question.
Yu Xiaogang might not know much about anything else, but he knew far more about this kind of information than most people.
Beneath Life Lake.
Di Tian looked at the question and let out a helpless sigh.
"My lord, it seems this question on the Light Screen is about to expose your existence!"
The Silver Dragon King, hidden in the darkness, was just as displeased.
"Something like this was bound to happen eventually. But it seems the Light Screen isn't connected to the Divine Realm yet, so we're safe for now."
"Answer the question first. We must gain more power and give ourselves a better chance!"
"Yes, my lord!"
The moment Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beasts saw the question, they knew the Silver Dragon King would surely be given as the answer.
Their only hope now was that the Silver Dragon King's name and other details would be revealed, without any further information being exposed.
