No Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Charm Rabbits

After Ao Zhan and the others left the independent space, Gu Yuena glanced at Di Tian. "Di Tian, what did you see just now?"

Di Tian's body stiffened as his mind raced wildly.

What had he seen just now?

Of course, he had seen his master throw herself into Lord Dragon Venerable's arms.

But he did not know whether Gu Yuena was warning him not to say anything, or whether she meant something else.

After much deliberation, Di Tian ultimately did not utter a single word, because he did not dare!

Seeing that Di Tian did not dare say a word, Gu Yuena sighed. "Forget it. Go out first. But from now on, any command from Lord Dragon Venerable takes precedence over everything."

"This subordinate obeys!"

After Di Tian left as well, Gu Yuena looked at the empty independent space.

She had stayed here for hundreds of thousands of years and had never felt anything about it, but now, she suddenly found it unbearably lonely.

She reached up and touched her shoulder, where Ao Zhan's hand had rested while treating her.

After a long while, Gu Yuena smiled. "Ally, Lord Dragon Venerable, I... seem to want to be more than just your ally."

Meanwhile, outside by the Lake of Life, the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python were in miserable condition.

The Titan Giant Ape had received a ruthless lesson from its own clan chief. Every bone in its body had been shattered, its fur soaked in blood, and its breathing was weak.

Yuan Lie had shown no mercy just because this fellow was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and a member of his own clan.

Who knew? He had been sleeping peacefully when Demon Spirit told him that the Titan Giant Ape Clan had produced a King of the Forest—one that had shouted at Di Tian and at a lord whom even Di Tian had to treat with respect, acting exceedingly arrogant.

It had nearly lost its mind and had even considered beating this fellow to death.

The only reason it had not killed this fellow now was because the matter still depended on Di Tian's opinion, and perhaps even the opinion of that lord whom Di Tian had to treat with respect.

As long as those two said the Titan Giant Ape could live, it could live. Of course, if they said otherwise, this fellow could only bid farewell to the world.

Yuan Lie would not plead for mercy either. The Titan Giant Ape Clan was a top-tier Soul Beast clan with a vast foundation. It could afford to lose one Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

The Sky Azure Bull Python's situation was much the same. Ten Thousand Demon King had shown no mercy whatsoever.

Yuan Lie had not held back even against a member of his own clan, much less Ten Thousand Demon King, who had no relation to the Sky Azure Bull Python.

Countless tree roots burst from the ground, binding the Sky Azure Bull Python and piercing into its flesh. Its scales could not block those roots at all. It could only let them burrow through its body as blood flowed without cease, staining the roots crimson and making for an extremely eerie sight.

The Sky Azure Bull Python no longer had the strength to struggle. Its head was muddled and it was terribly weak, unable even to hear the surrounding voices clearly.

At that moment, Ao Zhan and his group emerged. Seeing the miserable state of the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, he merely smiled. "Oh? Looks like you had quite an intense time playing just now."

"Lord Dragon Venerable!"

The Soul Beasts hurriedly saluted Ao Zhan, including the unruly Bear Lord and Yuan Lie, who had never met Ao Zhan before.

After all, the Azure Dragon's draconic might from earlier had already crushed Bear Lord's temper, while Yuan Lie had guessed that these humans were the lords Demon Spirit had mentioned, the ones even the Beast God had to treat with respect.

Ten Thousand Demon King stepped forward and said respectfully, "Lord Dragon Venerable, how do you intend to deal with these two lawless fellows?"

As it spoke, it cast a chilling glance at the Sky Azure Bull Python.

Yuan Lie also stepped forward and asked, "My lord, and this fellow?"

Ao Zhan said nothing. He felt as though he had forgotten something.

After looking around, he felt that something seemed to be missing.

Then, his gaze landed on the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, and inspiration flashed through his mind. "Where's the rabbit?"

He inadvertently spoke the words aloud. Ten Thousand Demon King found it rather strange upon hearing them. "A rabbit? What rabbit? Do you want a rabbit, my lord?"

Ao Zhan asked, "Are there any Soft Bone Charm Rabbits here? The Hundred-Thousand-Year kind?"

He had just felt that something was missing, then remembered that what was missing was Great Tang God King's wife, Xiao Wu, and her mother.

At this time, Xiao Wu and her mother should both have been living in the Star Dou Forest. Xiao Wu's mother should also have been alive and well, since Bibi Dong killed her only after becoming the Pope.

Yet he had not seen Xiao Wu or her mother. Had they hidden themselves?

However, Ten Thousand Demon King's expression was strange, and the other Soul Beasts were looking at him strangely as well, as if they had heard something utterly unbelievable.

"Hm? Why are you reacting like this?" Ao Zhan found their expressions strange.

"Lord Dragon Venerable, there are no Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Charm Rabbits in the Star Dou Forest."

Ten Thousand Demon King spoke words that were nothing short of earth-shattering.

"What did you say?! There aren't any?!"

Ao Zhan's eyes widened. No Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Charm Rabbits? Then where had Xiao Wu come from? And what was Xiao Wu's mother supposed to be?

"My lord, I do not understand why you are reacting this way. I cannot guarantee anything about other Soul Beast gathering places, but there are definitely no Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Charm Rabbits in the Star Dou Forest. Their potential is far too low. Their status in the Star Dou Forest is at the very bottom."

"Even ordinary Soft Bone Charm Rabbits that reach the thousand-year level are extraordinarily rare. Hundred thousand years? How could that be possible?"

"If Soft Bone Charm Rabbits could produce Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, then the powerful Soul Beast clans of the Star Dou Forest, such as the Man Faced Demon Spider, Earth Cave Demon Spider, and Thousand-Jun Ant, would have long since produced their own Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts."

Ten Thousand Demon King felt that Ao Zhan was joking with it. How could there possibly be a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Charm Rabbit in this world?

Ao Zhan frowned tightly and asked again, "Then what abilities do Soft Bone Charm Rabbits have? Things like Invincible Golden Body, for example?"

Something felt wrong to him. If Ten Thousand Demon King said Soft Bone Charm Rabbits were at the bottom of the Star Dou Forest, then what about Xiao Wu's Invincible Golden Body and Teleportation?

Xiao Wu had transformed from a Soul Beast, after all. The Soul Ring skills she condensed naturally had been skills she possessed while she was a Soul Beast.

Invincible Golden Body was said to block any non-divine attack, even attacks from a Limit Douluo. Then Soft Bone Charm Rabbits should not have been the lowly Soul Beasts Ten Thousand Demon King described.

"Invincible Golden Body? What kind of ability is that?"

"It sounds like a defensive skill?"

"What does that have to do with Soft Bone Charm Rabbits? This clan has nothing to do with defense. Their bones are simply soft, allowing them to slip into small tree hollows or burrows. They run quickly and breed prolifically, which is how they survive in the Star Dou Forest."

The Fierce Beasts discussed among themselves, and the information revealed by their words made Ao Zhan frown even more deeply.

"So, my lord, what exactly are you trying to ask?" Ten Thousand Demon King could no longer figure out what Ao Zhan wanted.

"Oh, nothing. I was just asking."

Ao Zhan glanced at the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, lying there like dead dogs. In the original work, these two Soul Beasts had been close to Xiao Wu and her mother. Perhaps he could learn something from them.

However, the two Soul Beasts had already fallen completely unconscious. Besides, he still had to work out how to make Alien Energy become the mainstream of this world. Treating Gu Yuena earlier had also left him somewhat tired. Right now, he only wanted to return and sleep.

"Ten Thousand Demon King, do not kill these two Soul Beasts yet. Lock them up first. I'll deal with them when I have time."

"Yes, Lord Dragon Venerable."
