"Can you determine their location?" Xuan Ming asked.
"Okay, what's wrong?" asked the Ice Dragon King.
Xuan Ming thought for a moment, "Can you help them conceal their aura?"
"It's already covered." said the Ice Dragon King.
"I had already done something to them when we were in the Star Forest."
It is too easy for a transformed soul beast to be exposed before it reaches maturity. Since she wants to leave these two little rabbits to Xuan Ming as soul rings, she naturally has to make some preparations.
"What, you... want to take them with you now?" said the Ice Dragon King.
"Come to think of it, I do have a way to speed up your growth. If they sacrifice themselves to you in the future while preserving their souls, you can revive them after you become a god."
"However, becoming a god is too bizarre for the mortal world. I'm afraid it's not so easy for them to believe it."
"Moreover, sacrifice requires full commitment and willingness to sacrifice everything you have. If there is even the slightest hesitation, it will not succeed."
Although the two little rabbits have good talent for cultivation, their bloodline talent is too weak, otherwise they would not have reached the 100,000-year level and would only be in the mixed zone.
Cultivation is cultivation, strength is strength. Soul beasts value bloodline the most, and the number of years of cultivation is not that important.
If it is a pure-blooded true dragon-level dragon, even if it is only ten thousand years old, it is enough to contend with those hundred thousand year old soul beasts with ordinary bloodline.
"I want to meet them." Xuan Ming said.
The Ice Dragon King looked a little strange, "Brother, do you want to make things clear?"
As a human being, Xuan Ming's character is really problematic! His inherent pride will not allow him to do anything that makes him feel disgusted! Even if he will die because of it!
Among humans, a race with almost no bottom line, he is an outlier.
But as a dragon clan, this kind of pride is necessary!
She was willing to take a gamble on Xuan Ming because of his stubbornness.
Because of his inflexibility, she was able to trust him.
If Xuan Ming was a smooth person, she would have killed this guy long ago.
After all, if he pretends to be nice to her and hides things from her today because he is under her control, who knows what he will do when he grows up and is no longer under her control?
If you can surrender because of interests, you will definitely betray because of interests! The Fire Dragon King was reluctant to pay attention to Xuan Ming at first because of this. He didn't want to waste time on a human who might betray the dragon clan.
But after their subsequent contacts, the Fire Dragon King's resistance to Xuan Ming was much reduced, especially in the Star Dou Great Forest, when Xuan Ming directly broke off the fight with her and quarreled with her desperately, and the Fire Dragon King trusted him more.
If someone lacks talent, they can find ways to change it, but if there is something wrong with the person, they will not take the risk of raising a tiger to cause trouble.
The dragon clan can no longer bear the slightest risk.
…
Not far from the hotel where Xuan Ming was staying, Arou brought Xiaowu to hide here to avoid being hunted down by the Spirit Hall.
Ah Rou has been transformed for many years and has been living in the mixed zone. Sometimes she would go to the small town on the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest to contact humans and obtain some information. The reason she was discovered by the Spirit Hall this time was because she accidentally leaked her whereabouts before, which attracted the Titled Douluo.
Although she managed to escape that night, Arou was very clear that a human powerhouse of that level would never give up. If they hid in the core area, it would only implicate Da Ming and Er Ming. Xiao Wu had just transformed and needed to be exposed to human breath in order to grow again, so they had to leave.
Based on her understanding of human cities, Arou chose the Fasno Province, which was the farthest from Wuhun City and the most remote and backward.
This place is far away from developed human cities and there are almost no powerful soul masters appearing here. It is relatively the safest place.
"Mom, was the one who saved us that night a soul beast?"
Xiao Wu leaned in Arou's arms, still feeling frightened about what happened before.
"I don't know, it's a very powerful dragon aura." Arou said.
"It's very similar to the dragon breath that came from the other side of the Lake of Life in the past. I'm not sure whether it's a soul beast or a human."
"and..."
Soul beasts with powerful bloodlines look down on weak soul beasts like them, not to mention the powerful dragons who can almost be said to be at the top of the soul beast clan.
It is very common for soul beasts to hunt each other, especially for hundred thousand year soul beasts like them which have little combat power but extremely high cultivation. They are the best supplement for those soul beasts with strong bloodlines. This is also the main reason why she has been living in the mixed area with Xiao Wu and not close to the core area.
There are many powerful soul beasts in the core area, and there are even more soul beast overlords on the other side of the Lake of Life. If they are unlucky and discovered, they may become food at any time. Even Da Ming and Er Ming cannot protect them.
She chose to flee from the Star Dou Great Forest, not only to avoid being hunted down by those powerful human beings, but also to avoid the powerful dragon beings who rescued them that night.
The dragon race had a high opinion of themselves. They rescued them that night, perhaps because they were unhappy with the three human Title Douluo who had entered the Xingdou Great Forest, or perhaps because they were in a bad mood and wanted to move their bodies, but it was definitely not out of kindness!
If they didn't escape quickly, even if they were not hunted by humans, they would most likely become food for the dragon race's strongman.
"You have a good sense of vigilance. No wonder you can cultivate to this level."
A strange yet familiar voice suddenly sounded from outside the window. Ah Rou froze and quickly protected Xiao Wu behind her. The window was blown open by the biting cold wind, and Xuan Ming, who was half-possessed by the Ice Dragon King, flipped in through the window.
"Who are you..."
Looking at Xuan Ming, who looked like a child in front of her, Arou was a little slow to react.
"What? You don't recognize me now?" said the Ice Dragon King.
Although he could no longer unleash the peak power of level ninety-nine like before, this simple possession, adding the aura of a true dragon soul to Xuan Ming's martial soul, was still enough to bluff.
Of course, I can't do anything, because if I do, I'll be exposed.
Moreover, this simple possession only meant that Xuan Ming transferred the control of his body to her. Her dragon soul could not affect Xuan Ming's body too much, and naturally there would be no changes in his appearance.
"Are you... the dragon elder from that night?" Arou asked nervously.
"Don't be nervous. If I wanted to eat you, I would have eaten you long ago." The Ice Dragon King sat on the bed.
"How could you have the opportunity to run so far?"
Ah Rou still didn't dare to take it lightly, and protected Xiao Wu tightly behind her, "Then what do you want me to do when you are here, Senior?"
"Guess why I saved you?" said the Ice Dragon King.
Ah Rou thought about it and shook her head, "I don't know."
"Look at me now, is there any difference from before?" said the Ice Dragon King.
Ah Rou carefully observed Xuan Ming's body, "Senior... has also transformed?"
"Well... that's about right." The Ice Dragon King stood up.
"I won't waste any more time talking nonsense. My purpose in saving you is very simple. I am short of two spirit rings."
"When I need you in the future, you two will behave yourself and sacrifice yourself, okay?"
"Sacrifice?" Arou's expression froze.
"Why, you don't want to?" The Ice Dragon King narrowed his eyes.
"Do you think I'm discussing this with you?"
"I dare not!" Arou lowered her head in panic.
"Don't worry, I don't want you to be sacrificed to death." said the Ice Dragon King.
"You can sacrifice in a way that preserves your soul."
"Besides, I still have a great chance of becoming a god. If I succeed, you can also be resurrected."
"Become a god?" Arou was stunned.
"As a hundred thousand year old soul beast, and having endured a heavenly tribulation, you should know that becoming a god is not just a legend," said the Ice Dragon King.
"Of course, this is a very risky matter. If I fail, you will be destroyed along with me."
"Senior, I can offer myself as a sacrifice, but... can you let Xiao Wu go?" Arou said nervously.
"Let her go? Why?" The Ice Dragon King raised his eyebrows.
"I saved your lives. You have two sets of 100,000-year spirit rings and spirit bones. Why should I only have one?"
The improvement of sacrifice is very terrifying, it is a comprehensive improvement! Even those who accept the sacrifice can obtain the divinity bestowed by the heavenly tribulation! That divinity is quite precious!
"Senior, if you are unwilling to let Xiao Wu go." Arou's eyes narrowed.
"I'm going to blow myself up right now!"
"You get nothing!"
"Self-destruct?" The Ice Dragon King narrowed his eyes.
"You dare to threaten me?"
"Senior, you should also know the power of the self-destruction of a hundred thousand year soul beast." Arou's expression remained unchanged.
"If I explode myself, you will definitely not be able to survive!"
"Do you want to take her with you to die?" The Ice Dragon King glanced at Xiao Wu who was standing behind Arou.
"I'll explode too!" Xiao Wu grabbed Arou's hand tightly, took a step forward, and looked at the Ice Dragon King fearfully yet firmly.
"I'm not afraid of death!"
"…"
