In the core area of the Starry Sky Forest, in an ancient habitat.
Xiao Wu squatted in front of a clearly damaged nest, her slender fingers gently tracing the remaining bloodstains on the ground.
The dark red marks had dried, but still emitted a nauseating, fishy stench.
"Erming, this is already the twenty-third place."
She stood up, her lively smile gone, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity.
"These soul beasts all disappeared within the last half month, and..."
She paused, her voice trembling slightly.
"And they are mostly soul beasts that have just broken through ten thousand years."
Behind them, a tall, enormous gorilla let out a deep roar.
The Titan Ape Erming's blood-red eyes burned with the flames of rage, his thick fists clenched tightly, veins bulging.
It can clearly smell the lingering human scent in the air.
Not just one, but many!
"roar--!"
Erming let out a deafening roar, and the entire forest trembled at his roar.
Countless birds and beasts took flight in fright, and even the ancient soul beasts in the distance lay prostrate on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.
Xiao Wu's ears throbbed from the roar, but she didn't back down. Instead, she stepped forward and gently stroked Er Ming's rough arm.
“Erming, I know you are angry, and I am angry too.”
Her voice was soft, but every word was chilling.
"These humans are simply courting death to slaughter soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest!"
As a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form, Xiao Wu has a natural affinity for soul beasts.
Seeing her fellow clansmen die tragically, her anger was no less than Erming's.
But reason told her that it wouldn't be easy for her and Erming to find the mastermind behind it all.
"or…"
Xiao Wu bit her lower lip, and that warm figure appeared in her mind.
"Ask Brother Ning Liu for help?"
Just then, a whooshing sound came from afar.
Three figures flew towards them at an extremely fast speed. The one in the lead unfurled a pair of huge black dragon wings behind him, and it was Ning Liu!
"It's Brother Ning Liu!"
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up instantly, and all her grievances and anger found an outlet at that moment.
She leaped and pounced directly at Ning Liu, who was in mid-air.
Ning Liu caught her steadily, feeling the slight trembling of the girl in his arms, and a wave of heartache welled up in his heart.
"Xiao Wu, what's wrong?"
He gently stroked her back, his voice soft.
"Brother Ning Liu..."
Xiao Wu hugged him tightly and quickly recounted everything she had just seen.
After hearing Xiao Wu's account, Ning Liu's face instantly darkened.
Tang Chen and Yue Guan also landed on the ground. Looking at the bloodstains around them, their expressions turned extremely ugly.
"They actually dared to massacre soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest."
Tang Chen's voice was filled with suppressed anger.
Although he had killed soul beasts before, such behavior...
Yue Guan was even more direct, with chrysanthemum petals fluttering around him, exuding a dangerous aura.
"Sect Leader Ning, this matter cannot be left like this!"
Ning Liu gently put Xiao Wu down and squatted down in the spot with the thickest bloodstains.
He reached out, sending a wisp of soul power into the ground to carefully sense the remaining aura.
A moment later, he stood up, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"Not an ordinary Soul Master."
“The soul power fluctuations of these people are very special, and…”
He paused, his voice growing even colder.
"After severely injuring the soul beast, they did not kill it on the spot to obtain the soul ring, but instead extracted something."
"Extract what?"
Xiao Wu asked in confusion.
Ning Liu did not answer immediately, but closed his eyes and carefully recalled the information he had just sensed.
Among the residual soul power fluctuations, there was an aura that he was very familiar with.
Evil, cold, and full of blasphemy against life.
"This is... the Dark Blue Silver Grass's Devouring Technique?!"
The few words that came out of his mouth shocked everyone present.
"Blue Silver Grass?"
Xiao Wu's eyes widened.
"Brother Ningliu, you mean?"
"Xiao Wu, have you forgotten the crystal ball I auctioned off back then? It recorded the Shrek Academy team's training footage!"
Ning Liu's voice was filled with anger.
“I was indeed careless. Now it seems that these people may be conducting some kind of large-scale evil experiment.”
