Chapter 346: Chapter 346: Bibi Dong’s Unwavering Determination

"Bibi Dong will definitely come. Only a 100,000-Year Soul Ring can maximize the potential of her Twin Soul Spirits and rapidly push her Soul Power to level ninety-nine!" Tang Xiao said with a grave expression and a cold tone.

Dugu Bo and the others all agreed. None of them believed Bibi Dong would let this opportunity slip away.

As Tang Xiao had said, a 100,000-Year Soul Master might be useless to other Titled Douluos, but for Bibi Dong, its significance was immense.

"Tonight, we’ll set out together for the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest and be ready to strike at any moment!" Ning Fengzhi concluded.

Dugu Feng watched as the group quickly finalized their plan of action with just a few words, feeling a surge of anticipation within him.

Through the Emerald Dragon Snake, he had gathered clear intelligence about Bibi Dong’s movements.

She was currently searching around the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.

In fact, given Bibi Dong’s speed of advancement, she should have reached the very center of the Star Dou Great Forest long ago.

Yet, she had failed to locate the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python.

Thus, she could only continue her search along the periphery of the core area.

This was entirely Dugu Feng’s doing. Since he hadn’t yet arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest, how could he allow Bibi Dong to find those two Spirit Beasts?

When Bibi Dong first approached the central lake, the Emerald Dragon Snake reappeared, luring the two 100,000-Year Soul Beasts in another direction to prevent any encounter.

As for the Titan Giant Ape’s vow to never acknowledge that monster again no matter what happened, it could only be taken as a joke.

After all, Spirit Beasts were still Spirit Beasts—how much self-control could they truly possess?

Under the Emerald Dragon Snake’s extreme provocation, they were still being led around in circles.

Dugu Feng sighed inwardly. Could this proceed without me?

Without me, this entire play would fall apart!

At night, Ning Fengzhi and the others set out, with Dugu Feng and Dugu Shuo accompanying them.

In the Star Dou Great Forest, poison played a significant role. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

After all, the most crucial aspect of this mission was to remain undetected. While avoiding detection by other Soul Masters relied on the spiritual power of experts like Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, avoiding discovery by Spirit Beasts was best achieved through poison—the simplest and most effective method.

Most Spirit Beasts were unwilling to provoke the aura of poison, allowing them to silently drive away any approaching creatures.

Moreover, the Dugu Family’s poison was highly regarded by Ning Fengzhi and the others, expected to yield miraculous effects at critical moments.

The eleven individuals, clad in tight-fitting attire, entered the Star Dou Great Forest and headed straight for its depths.

Along the way, Sword Douluo and the others continuously scanned their surroundings using their speed and spiritual power to avoid exposing their presence.

Their target was the area near the center of the Star Dou Great Forest, where they would find a hidden spot to conceal themselves.

Sword Douluo and Dai Tian Jun would then separately search for Bibi Dong.

In the darkness, Dugu Feng moved cautiously within the group, advancing step by step.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Star Dou Great Forest, Bibi Dong was also proceeding with caution in her search.

Bibi Dong had arrived in the Star Dou Great Forest several days prior. At that moment, she was in her Martial Soul Avatar state, with a purple light emanating from her brow, spreading through the forest as she sensed her surroundings.

Behind her, six Titled Douluos, including Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, formed a fan-shaped formation, protecting Bibi Dong at the center.

Upon arriving at the Star Dou Great Forest, Bibi Dong and Ning Fengzhi shared the same thought. According to the territorial laws of the spirit beast realm, the domain of two 100,000-Year Soul Beasts must lie at the very center of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Thus, Bibi Dong rushed toward the forest’s core without pause.

Yet even when she reached the pristine small lake at the very center, she found no trace of the 100,000-Year Soul Beasts.

Bibi Dong was deeply unwilling to accept this, but she had no choice but to search outward from the forest’s center in expanding circles.

"What are your thoughts?" Bibi Dong suddenly asked as they advanced.

Anxiety breeds confusion. Ever since receiving news of the two 100,000-Year Soul Beasts, she had been in a state of high excitement.

Now, after failing to find them, Bibi Dong’s mind was growing unsettled—otherwise, she wouldn’t have sought advice from her subordinates.

The Titled Douluo behind her were all elites of the Spirit Hall, but what brilliant ideas could they possibly offer at this moment?

It was Ghost Douluo who spoke softly: "Your Majesty, from the outskirts to the core of the Star Dou Great Forest, the age of spirit beasts gradually increases, and spirit beasts possess the strongest territorial instincts.

I believe our judgment is correct—the territory of these two 100,000-Year Soul Beasts must be near the center of the Star Dou Great Forest!"

Having spent the most time in the Star Dou Great Forest, he was the most familiar with it. Failing to find the 100,000-Year Soul Beasts at the forest’s center struck him as peculiar.

"But we’ve already searched the forest center—there are truly no 100,000-Year Soul Beasts there!" Chrysanthemum Douluo expressed his confusion.

"Gui Mei, speak your mind freely!" Bibi Dong encouraged.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Last time, the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Blue Bull Python suddenly appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest in a highly agitated state. They must have been provoked by other spirit beasts or Soul Masters.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have emerged so abruptly.

With the intelligence of 100,000-Year Soul Beasts, they certainly know that once humans discover their traces, they will be hunted with full force. Yet they still left their territory—they must have been driven by rage.

By the central lake, we found no signs of any spirit beast inhabiting the area. That place must be the territory of the most powerful spirit beast, which is why it remains so tranquil.

Since we didn’t find the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Blue Bull Python when we arrived, perhaps they encountered their enemies again.

But I believe they will return to their territory!"

Bibi Dong’s eyes lit up—she agreed with Ghost Douluo’s reasoning.

Most importantly, they had nearly searched the entire Star Dou Great Forest.

Only Ghost Douluo’s explanation aligned with logic.

Otherwise, after scouring so many locations, none had resembled the territory of 100,000-Year Soul Beasts!

"Let’s go!"

Bibi Dong turned and led the way back toward the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.

A short while later, Bibi Dong halted.

"Guard me while I perform!"

With these words, dark green patterns lit up on Bibi Dong’s forehead. A layer of crystalline dark green radiance spread outward, her arms transforming into dark green spears while her lower body morphed into a spherical form adorned with three pairs of dark green spider legs.

Following this, seven black Spirit Rings materialized in perfect alignment.

This was her second Martial Soul Avatar—the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor.

Next, Bibi Dong unleashed her Third Soul Skill: Demon Spider Summoning.

Dark green venomous spiders, condensed from death energy and Soul Power, crawled forth from beneath the earth and swiftly began moving through the forest.

These venomous spiders had ethereal forms, moved with agility, and emitted extremely faint Soul Power fluctuations, much like ordinary insects.

Even a thousand-year Spirit Beast would likely sense these venomous spiders and dismiss them with contempt.

They were far too weak!

The sheer number of these demonic spiders seemed endless as they scattered in all directions.

"Last time, perhaps those two Spirit Beasts sensed our presence and fled. This time, I’ll see where you can escape to!"

Bibi Dong snorted coldly, determined to locate those two 100,000-Year Soul Beasts.
