Copying Da Ming and Er Ming's Soul Rings and Soul Bones!!

Almost in the blink of an eye.

Great swaths of towering trees ahead were knocked down one after another.

The earthshaking growls grew clearer and clearer.

For the first time, Lin Mo truly felt the terror of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Fortunately, though, he had a good little sister.

Xiao Wu spread her arms, planted herself right in front of the boy, and shouted:

"Stop! Er Ming!! He's my big brother! You're not allowed to hurt him!!"

Compared to the growls coming from ahead, the girl's voice seemed insignificant.

Yet that tiny voice.

Forced the enormous beast charging headlong toward them to stop in his tracks.

Carried by his tremendous momentum, a gigantic ape slid right up to the two of them before barely steadying himself.

His mountainlike figure came into view.

His pitch-black, rocky body shone with a metallic luster, and his shoulders stood over seven meters high.

Standing fully upright, he would probably reach more than fifteen meters!

His lantern-sized eyes gleamed crimson.

[Target: Titan Giant Ape-Er Ming]

[Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring: Obtain one adaptive Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring with no side effects!]

[Titan Sky Cannon: Obtain the Titan Giant Ape's long-range attack!]

[Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone: Obtain one Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone best suited to you!]

Lin Mo swallowed, bearing the pressure of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Without hesitation, he activated the Eye of Myriad Phenomena's Innate Soul Skill.

Seeing that there really was a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone, the corners of his mouth rose involuntarily.

Even with Er Ming right before him, he could no longer spare a thought for caution or fear!

Greed drove people mad!!

Without the slightest hesitation, he chose the Soul Ring and Soul Bone.

As for the Titan Sky Cannon?

It was certainly a good thing.

But it was less precious than the other two!

While Lin Mo was feasting on his windfall.

Xiao Wu had already begun lecturing Er Ming.

"He's our big brother??"

The great ape scratched his head and asked with a bewildered expression.

Wasn't my big brother Da Ming?

Where did another big brother come from?

And he's even a human!

"That's right! Ever since I entered the human world, Big Brother has been taking care of me! He already knows I'm a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, too! And he still treats me just the same!!"

Xiao Wu hopped onto a nearby branch and spoke earnestly while looking into Er Ming's eyes.

She even briefly told him a little about what had happened during her time away.

After listening, Er Ming fell silent, then nodded a moment later.

He was merely simple, not stupid.

The boy before him knew Xiao Wu was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Yet he was still willing to return to the Star Dou Great Forest with her.

That said it all and was enough to prove he meant no harm.

At the very least, he had no interest in the Soul Ring and Soul Bone inside Xiao Wu.

"I understand. I won't hurt him!"

Er Ming nodded as well and gave his promise with a rather dopey expression.

As far as he was concerned, his big sister would never misjudge anyone!

Seeing this, Lin Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This gamble paid off!!

I was already seventy percent of the way there!!

"Hehe~ Great! Let's go home! You come up too, A-Mo!!"

Xiao Wu broke into a radiant smile.

Then she took Lin Mo's hand and leaped onto Er Ming's shoulder.

That mountainlike body raced toward the depths of the forest once more.

Star Lake, in the core region.

The sound of the earth shaking and mountains trembling came from nearby.

Perhaps hearing the commotion, the water in the center of the lake slowly began to ripple.

Then an enormous figure emerged!

It was a colossal beast with a bull's head and a serpent's body.

His length was impossible to measure, with most of his body hidden beneath the lake.

But his bull's head alone was over four meters across.

"Big Brother!! Look who I brought back?!"

Before his figure arrived, his thunderous voice had already rolled across the entire lake.

A moment later, a great ape descended from the sky and landed firmly on the shore.

Boom!!

The ground trembled, and dust flew.

"Cough, cough, cough! Er Ming! Can't you run a little slower?!"

Xiao Wu covered her nose and mouth and scolded him in displeasure.

These two little brothers were obedient enough, but they were just too reckless!

"Hehe~ Sorry, Sister Xiao Wu."

Er Ming scratched his head and gave an honest, sheepish smile.

The enormous beast in the center of the lake shook his head as well and slowly swam to shore.

"Sister Xiao Wu, it looks like you've been doing well in the human world."

Da Ming looked at Lin Mo standing beside Xiao Wu, a trace of curiosity flashing in his eyes as he spoke.

He was much cleverer than Er Ming.

Since she had brought the boy home, their relationship certainly couldn't be ordinary.

"Hehe~ Of course! There are lots of delicious things to eat and fun things to do there! And A-Mo keeps me company, too!"

Xiao Wu made no attempt to hide her joy as she spoke proudly.

At the same time, she glanced at the boy beside her, a different sort of look flashing in her eyes.

Then she went on sharing the amusing things that had happened during her time away.

Lin Mo seized the opportunity to activate his innate Martial Soul.

[Target: Sky Azure Bull Python-Da Ming]

[Sky Azure Annihilation Thunder: Obtain the Sky Azure Bull Python's unique azure lightning attack, with immense destructive power!]

[Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring: Obtain one adaptive Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring with no side effects!]

[Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone: Obtain one Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone best suited to you!]

The instant the information appeared, wild delight flashed in the boy's eyes.

Another Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone!!

The plan was a complete success!!

Without even looking, he chose the second and third options.

As for how useful the Sky Azure Annihilation Thunder would be to him.

It was even less useful than the Titan Sky Cannon!!

After all, none of his Martial Souls had a lightning attribute.

At that moment, words could hardly describe how happy Lin Mo was.

Meanwhile, Xiao Wu was beaming as well.

She was telling Da Ming and Er Ming about the human world.

At that moment, a peaceful scene unfolded around Star Lake.

For a while afterward, Lin Mo stayed by Xiao Wu's side.

Soon, however, the little rabbit began to feel bored.

After seeing the bustling world outside, returning to a primeval forest was bound to feel dull.

"Ugh~ I'm so bored~ A-Mo, let's go back~!"

Inside the hut built from thatch, Xiao Wu lay on the animal-hide bed, rolling from side to side.

She had already finished telling them everything she had seen and heard outside.

She had also condensed her Second Soul Ring.

Now she spent every day either looking at trees or looking at flowers. It was boring beyond belief!!

If A-Mo hadn't been keeping her company, she probably would have wanted to leave long ago.

"Sure~ Have Er Ming take you out of the Star Dou Great Forest. I still have something to take care of."

Sitting beside her, Lin Mo nodded as he spoke.

With two sets of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings and Soul Bones in hand.

It was time for him to find somewhere to absorb them.

"Something? Are you going to hunt Soul Beasts to get Soul Rings?"

Xiao Wu's expression froze, and she asked somewhat unhappily.

She hoped the boy before her would become incredibly powerful.

Yet she didn't want him to hunt Soul Beasts.

For a moment, she was caught in a dilemma.

"Yes, more or less."

Lin Mo nodded slightly in reply.

Besides absorbing the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings and Soul Bones.

He did indeed need to obtain the third Soul Ring for his Blazing Sun Snake Martial Soul.

"All right~ But you have to do your best to hunt those bad Soul Beasts, like giant spiders, giant snakes, and vicious wolves! You can't hurt cute little bunnies!"

As though she had figured something out, Xiao Wu spoke with complete seriousness.

The bad Soul Beasts she referred to were naturally the carnivorous ones.

"I know~ I know~ Even if someone offered me a Soul Ring from a little bunny like you, I wouldn't want it."

Lin Mo spoke with a look of disdain.

Although he didn't quite agree with the little girl's idea of bad Soul Beasts.

After all, wolves eating sheep and sheep eating grass were laws of nature.

He didn't say anything more about it.

Because he hadn't planned to hunt those mostly weaker herbivorous Soul Beasts anyway.
