Xiao Wu, You Wouldn't Want Tang San to Know You're a Spirit Beast, Would You?

After recovering his Soul Power, Zhou Tao met with Dugu Bo again.

This time, Zhou Tao directly told Dugu Bo Xiao Wu's true identity.

"What? Xiao Wu is actually a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"

"That old rabbit has two brothers?"

"They're both Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. That rabbit really has quite a few secrets."

After hearing Zhou Tao's intelligence, Dugu Bo's green eyes immediately lit up, and the expression on his face became deeply suggestive.

"Teacher, I've already captured Xiao Wu. I plan to use her to trick those two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts into voluntarily sacrificing themselves. The Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings will be mine, and we'll split the Spirit Bones equally. What do you think?"

"Fine by me. This old man has never seen a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone before!"

"A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone is a peerless treasure."

"This old man wants to save one for Yanyan."

The corners of Zhou Tao's lips curled up slightly. "No time to waste, Teacher. Let's leave now."

"We leave now!"

Dugu Bo said excitedly. With a sweep of his hand, the two of them silently left Suotuo City, carrying Xiao Wu, who had been wrapped up like a dumpling, and shot toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

Several days later, they arrived in the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Zhou Tao released Xiao Wu.

However, her body was still bound by golden vines to keep her from slipping away suddenly.

After all.

Xiao Wu had two Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings and Spirit Bones on her.

"Zhou Tao, let me go. I want to return to Tang San's side."

Xiao Wu's eyes were swollen from crying. She had been tied up like a dumpling these past few days, utterly unable to move. It had been miserable beyond words.

However.

Zhou Tao said:

"Xiao Wu, I can let you go."

"But you have to fulfill your promise."

At those words, Xiao Wu's eyes immediately lit up, and she said:

"Fine. What do you want me to do? I promise."

At this moment, Xiao Wu clearly had no idea what was about to happen.

Zhou Tao chuckled and said:

"I want you to find two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts and have them sacrifice themselves to me."

"As long as you do that, I'll let you go back completely unharmed."

The moment those words left his mouth, Xiao Wu was stunned.

"What did you say? I don't understand."

"I'm so weak. How could I possibly get Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts for you?"

Xiao Wu pretended to be ignorant, hoping to deceive Zhou Tao.

However.

Zhou Tao knew her inside and out. How could she possibly fool him so easily?

Zhou Tao spoke.

"Xiao Wu, you don't want Tang San to know you're a Spirit Beast, do you?"

"I know that you're a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."

"You're from the Soft Bone Rabbit clan, aren't you?"

At those words, Xiao Wu was stunned once more.

He had seized her weakness.

As an extreme love-struck fool, Xiao Wu could even let go of the grudge of her mother's murder.

She could sacrifice anyone, but she absolutely could not sacrifice her love with Tang San.

Although.

That brain-dead old rabbit had been deceived by Tang San. There was no love between them.

But that old Spirit Bone Rabbit still believed that was the case for now.

Only that fool Xiao Wu still thought Tang San loved her.

In truth, Tang San had merely used love to trick her out of her Spirit Ring.

The same routine as his father.

"Zhou Tao, please, don't tell Tang San."

Zhou Tao smiled faintly. Xiao Wu had dropped to her knees far too quickly, but he liked it.

"I won't tell him, but you have to find two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts for me and make them sacrifice themselves to me."

Xiao Wu immediately fell silent. Wasn't this asking her to sacrifice Da Ming and Er Ming?

But if she didn't do this, she would have no way to remain with the Tang San she longed for so dearly.

Xiao Wu hesitated for a few seconds.

Very quickly, she made up her mind. Da Ming and Er Ming might be her devoted admirers, but compared to her own love.

Sacrificing her admirers was perfectly reasonable.

After all, devoted admirers loved making sacrifices.

If they died, they died.

For the love between herself and Tang San, Da Ming and Er Ming, you two could make a little sacrifice.

As the saying went, a pathetic simp ended up with nothing.

Da Ming and Er Ming were prime examples.

"I agree."

Xiao Wu said immediately.

Next, Xiao Wu led Zhou Tao and Dugu Bo deeper into the forest.

An hour later.

Xiao Wu stopped, took a deep breath, and cupped her hands around her mouth like a horn. A strange fluctuation of Soul Power, accompanied by a crisp shout, traveled into the depths of the forest.

"Er Ming—"

Her voice echoed through the woods.

Before long, tremors came from the ground, and a mountain-like figure charged over with a thunderous rumble.

It was the Titan Giant Ape.

The Titan Giant Ape stopped before Xiao Wu. Its lantern-sized eyes were filled with confusion and barely perceptible delight.

"Sister Xiao Wu, why are you here?"

However, the Titan Giant Ape was answered by golden dragons as towering as ancient trees from every direction. More than ten thousand Golden Vines spread wildly, encircling the Titan Giant Ape layer upon layer.

"Sister Xiao Wu, what is this?"

Before Xiao Wu could answer, the Titan Giant Ape spotted Zhou Tao and Dugu Bo.

A golden cage trapped Xiao Wu inside, while thick golden arcs of lightning crackled explosively, capable of killing Xiao Wu at any moment.

Xiao Wu choked back sobs as she spoke.

"Er Ming, they captured me. I had no choice."

"They need your Spirit Ring. If you're willing to sacrifice yourself, they can spare my life."

At those words, the Titan Giant Ape immediately grew furious.

"Sister Xiao Wu, don't you want me anymore...?"

Er Ming felt as though he had been sold out, and sold out by the Sister Xiao Wu he had yearned for all this time.

"Forget it. Sister Xiao Wu once saved my life. If my life can be exchanged for hers, I accept it."

"I hope you can keep your promise and not harm Sister Xiao Wu."

A helpless tear streamed down the Titan Giant Ape's face.

The next moment, blood-red flames emerged from its body. What burned within them was its life, along with its hundred thousand years of cultivation.

The bloody flames burned ever fiercer, while the Titan Giant Ape's body gradually faded. In the end, all the red turned into a massive ring that slowly contracted and slowly merged into Zhou Tao's body.

Bathed in the blood flames of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Zhou Tao felt a tingling sensation spread through his entire body. The Soul Power within him surged wildly, directly breaking through level fifty.

Not long after, the light on Da Ming's body completely faded, and a blood-red left leg bone flew to Zhou Tao's side on its own without any control.

The next moment, the Golden Ancient Tree appeared in Zhou Tao's hand, and a deep-red Spirit Ring floated around it.

Zhou Tao was overjoyed. The Golden Ancient Tree had finally gained its fifth Spirit Ring, and it was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring.

The fifth Spirit Ring granted two spirit skills: Titan's Hammer and Power of Earth.

One was Titan's Hammer, which contained terrifying brute force. When Titan's Hammer was unleashed, it could transform the Golden Ancient Tree into a massive divine hammer and double its attack power.

The other was Power of Earth, a support spirit skill that could enhance strength and defense at the same time. It was extremely suitable for use alongside Titan's Hammer.

At the same time, he fused with the left leg bone, causing his strength to surge once more.
