In the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest, by the Lake of Life.
Within the dense forest stood two figures, one large and one small. They were Tang Xiao and his son, Tang San.
With Tang Xiao, a Titled Douluo, protecting him along the way, they had encountered almost no danger.
The occasional Soul Beast foolish enough to attack them was dealt with in a few hammer blows from Tang Xiao.
"Little San," Tang Xiao asked in a lowered voice, "why did you go to such lengths to come all the way to the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest?"
"I'm looking for someone. According to God's instructions, that person is the key to my future inheritance of divine power."
Tang San casually made up this excuse. He had long planned to link Xiao Wu to God.
After all, Xiao Wu was a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. She could not hide that fact from Tang Xiao, a Titled Douluo.
However, as long as Xiao Wu was a key figure personally chosen by God, even if Tang Xiao learned her identity, he would not dare act rashly. Instead, he would do everything possible to protect her.
Tang Xiao said in surprise, "What? That person is actually connected to your inheritance of divine power?"
"That's right." Tang San nodded.
"But my spiritual power has been covering the surrounding area this entire time, and I haven't detected anyone. Besides, this core region is fraught with danger. How could anyone possibly live here?"
Tang San did not answer.
He was also scanning the surroundings with his divine sense.
Yet he could not sense Xiao Wu's aura.
Even Da Ming and Er Ming's auras had vanished completely.
Tang San's heart sank sharply.
This was the Lake of Life, territory Da Ming
