Xiao Wu's identity was exposed
Surrounding it grow towering trees, their dense foliage blocking out almost all sunlight from penetrating the lake, making the entire forest appear dark and gloomy.
The breath of Life ripples in the lake water; though not strong, its presence is palpable, and one can feel the comfort of inhaling it through the air.
"Er Niu, this forest is so dark, not even sunlight can shine in, it's so eerie and scary!"
"Yes! Look at these towering trees, their dense branches and leaves layer upon layer, blocking out all the sunlight."
"And have you sensed the powerful aura lurking here, the kind that only powerful creatures possess?"
"Dean Liu, what's your opinion?"
"Xiao Yao, I think Da Niu's analysis is spot on. This place is indeed unusual, it seems different from other places. The Star Dou Great Forest is the largest natural forest currently existing on the Douluo Continent, and it's perfectly normal that there are several mysterious areas that humans cannot reach. I think only Brother Ye, who brought us here, knows where this place is."
Xiao Wu suddenly looked at Qian Ye and whispered in his ear, "Brother Ye, this isn't the Central Lake where I live, but another lake, a place I've never even been to before. So, is this the Lake of Life, one of the deepest parts of the Star Dou Great Forest?"
"So, you also know about the Lake of Life?" Qian Ye countered.
According to the original book, Xiao Wu was just a novice Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast who only knew the Sky Azure Bull Python Da Ming and Er Ming, but did not know the Ten Great Ferocious Beast such as Di Tian.
"My mom told me about it, but she didn't know much. She just said there's another lake in another place, where even more enormous Soul Beast, Hundred Thousand Years old, live. That lake is called the Lake of Life because its waters contain the aura of Life."
"However, my mom said that Soul Beast younger than 200,000 years old cannot enter this circle."
"At the same time, that place is not only forbidden to humans, but also to us Soul Beast under 200,000 years old. Entering without their invitation will result in being expelled and punished accordingly."
"My mother also told me that there are Dragon Clan in the Lake of Life, and the largest Dragon Clan is called the Beast God. When needed, it can summon any Soul Beast to join its ranks and serve it."
Qian Ye laughed and said, "So Xiao Wu, you've only heard about it, and haven't actually seen her, right?"
"Yes, I've never seen it, nor can I ever set foot in that area. I've tried to search for it, but I'm lost and can't get in. I think it's a defensive line set up by those powerful Soul Beast to prevent other unrelated Soul Beast from intruding and disturbing them."
Qian Ye nodded. "Then I'll tell you, this is actually the legendary Lake of Life."
"So that's how it is!" Just as Xiao Wu sensed, this was indeed the Lake of Life.
She simply didn't know how Qian Ye had found this place or how he had gotten in. Why hadn't he taken her to the Central Lake to see Da Ming and Er Ming, but instead brought her to the Lake of Life? What was his purpose?
Was it just to broaden everyone's horizons?
Although both the Lake of Life and the Central Lake are lakes in the Star Dou Great Forest, their quality is different, which makes the Lake of Life more mysterious and almost no one knows about it.
No one has set foot here yet.
Qian Ye didn't explain further, "Di Tian, come out, all of you. Meet my new friend."
Ta-da-da~
Immediately, enormous creatures emerged from all around the lake, converging on Qian Ye's location.
When Jie Er Niu, Xiao Yao, and the others saw this, their faces showed fear. Few people wouldn't be afraid of so many enormous creatures.
Even Liu Erlong and Xiao Wu frowned slightly.
Buzz buzz buzz~
However, their worries were clearly unnecessary; with Qian Ye around, no one could hurt them.
Aww~
Suddenly, they saw two giant dragons, one purple and one black, flying overhead, which terrified them even more.
However, what happened next made them all breathe a sigh of relief.
They slowly shrank, eventually transforming into men and women.
Bang bang bang~
Finally, a giant monkey and a minotaur emerged.
"Da Ming, Er Ming, I'm so glad to finally meet you!" Xiao Wu greeted the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape immediately.
"Sister Xiao Wu."
"Sister Xiao Wu, it's been so long since I've seen you, I've missed you terribly."
Da Ming Er Ming immediately stepped forward to reunite with Xiao Wu.
The people present were completely stunned.
Liu Erlong and Zhu Zhuqing always thought Xiao Wu was a human girl, never imagining that she was a rabbit who had transformed from Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
Now that she recognizes two enormous Soul Beast, he can't help but be suspicious of her existence.
Qian Ye glanced at Liu Erlong and the others, feeling it was time to explain things to them, and then walked towards Liu Erlong:
"Erlong, Zhu Qing, just as you can see, Xiao Wu recognizes these two enormous Soul Beast."
"Don't be surprised that a human girl like her knows these two giant beasts. It's because Xiao Wu isn't actually human; she's Soul Beast over Hundred Thousand Years, just like them."
"However, Xiao Wu has Soul Beast Transformation into a human and come to human society to study again."
"And she was originally just a Soft Bone Charm Rabbit Soul Beast."
"A rabbit... Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"
"Wow, so Xiao Wu is a big shot!"
"No wonder her talent is so high, and I've never seen her absorb Soul Ring. Now I know, Soul Beast don't need to absorb Soul Ring."
"Incredible! Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, yet it was only transformed from a little rabbit."
After Er Niu, Ning Rongrong, and the others learned Xiao Wu's true identity, they immediately started gossiping.
Qian Ye smiled after hearing their words: "Don't underestimate Xiao Wu just because she's an ordinary little rabbit. That's only on the surface. In reality, she's a rabbit with the Dragon Clan blood."
"It is precisely because of this that those with the talent of the Dragon Clan bloodline can cultivate faster than other Soul Beast and are more likely to become Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
"No wonder, it turns out that Xiao Wu's parents have strong genes."
"Yes, that's the only explanation."
Liu Erlong quickly walked towards Qian Ye, then looked at the two giant beasts in front of Xiao Wu: "Brother Ye, if I'm not mistaken, those minotaur and giant monkey are the legendary overlords of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Sky Azure Bull Python Emperor and the Titan Giant Ape King Soul Beast?"
"Yes, it's those two. They and Xiao Wu were childhood playmates, as close as siblings. Xiao Wu even saved the Sky Azure Bull Python's life when it was a child."
"Mother Erlong." Xiao Wu suddenly ran to Liu Erlong, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "I'm sorry, Mother Erlong, I didn't tell you that I'm Soul Beast. I hope you won't blame me and will forgive me, okay?"
