Xiao Wu fled and ran into Luo Fan!

"Young Master, an opportunity! An incredible opportunity!"

Snake Lance Douluo looked like a creep who had just come across a soft-voiced, delicate little girl. He licked his lips and could not help exclaiming to Qian Renxue.

He was already a Titled Douluo, with all nine soul rings filled. Otherwise, faced with a hundred-thousand-year soul beast that had taken human form, would he have wanted to keep her all to himself?

Snake Lance Douluo honestly could not guarantee otherwise!

"To think you would have such heaven-defying luck, Young Master!" Pufferfish Douluo nodded beside him, grinning.

Since Luo Fan and Oscar had both left, leaving only Pufferfish and Snake Lance beside her, Qian Renxue had dropped her disguise.

Qian Renxue: "???"

Seeing the reactions of the two Titled Douluos beside her, Qian Renxue turned a puzzled gaze toward the adorable six- or seven-year-old girl before them.

What was so special about this little girl? Why had both Titled Douluos reacted like that?

Wait, could it be...

Amid her confusion, something suddenly stirred in Qian Renxue's heart, and a possibility sprang instinctively to mind.

But that possibility was simply too shocking.

Qian Renxue could hardly believe that such incredible fortune had fallen into her lap.

"Young Master, this little girl is no ordinary child. She's a hundred-thousand-year soul beast that has taken human form!" Snake Lance Douluo spoke again, confirming Qian Renxue's suspicion.

"And from the looks of it, her soul power is only in the teens!" Pufferfish Douluo added with a chuckle.

To a Titled Douluo, what difference was there between someone whose soul power was in the teens and an ordinary person?

She was merely a slightly stronger ant. Either way, they could easily crush her with a single finger.

Qian Renxue's eyes lit up at the two Titled Douluos' words.

A hundred-thousand-year soul beast in human form? And her soul power was only in the teens?

It was like finding a huge lump of gold lying unclaimed in the road.

Moreover, her level meant they could easily keep her for a few decades, then kill her for her soul ring and soul bone once Qian Renxue could absorb a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!

After all, soul beasts over a hundred thousand years old were guaranteed to drop a soul bone.

"T-Titled Douluos!?"

Xiao Wu had been skipping adorably toward the edge of the Star Dou Forest when Pufferfish and Snake Lance fixed their eyes on her. She immediately froze, cold sweat pouring out.

Seriously? How long had it even been since I took human form? And I've already run into a Titled Douluo?

Two of them, by the looks of it?

Run! Hurry and run!

But could I possibly escape from Titled Douluos?

"Do it!"

Snake Lance and Pufferfish exchanged a glance before Snake Lance Douluo struck first, reaching straight for Xiao Wu with an open hand!

Even if she was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast in human form, right now she was no different from an ordinary soul master in the teens!

Boom!

But just as Snake Lance Douluo reached for Xiao Wu, a powerful blast of soul power suddenly surged toward him!

Snake Lance Douluo immediately summoned his snake lance and held it across his body to block!

An indescribable force crashed into him, sending him staggering far backward against his will!

Then three Soft Bone Rabbits, each tens of thousands of years old, emerged from the depths of the forest, their red eyes fixed on Snake Lance Douluo and his companions!

The expressions of Pufferfish and Snake Lance Douluo shifted at the sight of the Soft Bone Rabbits!

Soul beasts several tens of thousands of years old were difficult opponents even for Titled Douluos, especially when they also had to protect their Young Master!

Capturing a hundred-thousand-year soul beast in human form was important, but their Young Master's safety came above all else!

Run!

Seeing the younger members of her kind who had escorted her step in to hold off the two Titled Douluos, Xiao Wu turned without hesitation and fled deeper into the Star Dou Forest.

She knew perfectly well that she was the cause of this conflict. As long as she escaped, everything would be fine!

Sure enough, when Xiao Wu turned and fled deeper into the Star Dou Forest, Snake Lance and Pufferfish refused to let their prize slip through their fingers. Even Qian Renxue personally gave chase!

Boom!

One of the Soft Bone Rabbits gathered its soul power, then fired it straight into the sky above the forest!

The soul power exploded high overhead like fireworks, creating a tremendous disturbance!

"Hmm?"

Far away in the forest's central region, an enormous Titan Giant Ape abruptly raised his head toward the exploding soul power, then broke into a run, charging toward the blast.

Thunderous rumbling rang out as the Titan Giant Ape, the king of the forest, moved, throwing the Star Dou Forest into chaos.

Even soul beasts tens of thousands of years old scattered in terror, let alone those under ten thousand years old!

After all, the Titan Giant Ape was a supreme soul beast capable of challenging ten-thousand-year soul beasts when only a hundred years old.

Then just how powerful would a hundred-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape be?

"Hmm?"

Luo Fan and Oscar had been heading out of the forest when they noticed the soul power exploding in the sky and the tremendous commotion!

Luo Fan hurried up to the crown of a towering tree and gazed into the distance from above!

They had only recently parted ways with Xue Qinghe, so they were merely two or three kilometers away!

Standing on the tree trunk, Luo Fan could see the enormous phantoms of a snake lance and a pufferfish.

Was that the Martial Soul Avatar skill?

Looking again, he saw several rabbit soul beasts fighting the two Titled Douluos!

Wait, rabbit soul beasts?

And they had encountered several ten-thousand-year soul beasts without even entering the depths of the forest?

Luo Fan's heart lurched as a suspicion formed!

After all, several ten-thousand-year rabbit soul beasts appearing near the forest's outskirts could not be a coincidence!

And Qian Renxue certainly would not have chosen rabbit soul beasts as targets for her soul ring hunt!

Then what could compel two Titled Douluos to fight rabbit soul beasts tens of thousands of years old when there was nothing to gain?

"Oscar, head back first! Hurry!" Luo Fan called urgently to Oscar!

"Huh? Luo Fan, what about you?" Oscar hastily asked.

"I'm going to take a look. Don't worry, I'll stay far away and use the Clone Technique to investigate!" Luo Fan quickly explained!

With that, Luo Fan turned and ran toward the depths of the forest.

At the same time, he released over a hundred Wood Clones in one go, sending them in different directions to fan out deeper into the forest!

Tap, tap, tap!

Xiao Wu turned and ran deeper into the forest!

Behind her, the two Titled Douluos and Qian Renxue were rapidly giving chase!

But with three ten-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbits blocking them, their pursuit was severely slowed. They could only watch helplessly as Xiao Wu ran farther and farther away!

"Xiao Wu?"

She had been running for roughly ten minutes when, as she raced deeper into the forest, a sudden shout rang out!

Xiao Wu looked toward the voice!

She saw Luo Fan darting and leaping swiftly between the tree trunks!

"Brother Fan!?"

Xiao Wu could not help crying out in surprise at the sight of Luo Fan.
