50: Arou and Xiaowu

A Rou shouted, "I mean no harm. Like you, I am also a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast undergoing transformation... But now, I'm being targeted by Spirit Masters from Spirit Hall. They are hunting me, and if you release such Qi now, you will also become their target."

Seeing that Yu Mengzhang had no aggressive reaction, A Rou leaped, tracing a large curve, and landed in front of Yu Mengzhang.

The surrounding Dragon Clan Spirit Beasts nervously watched A Rou.

Although A Rou was only a Soft Bones Rabbit undergoing transformation, her current Soul Power of Level Fifty-Nine made them deeply uneasy.

"Mom, he's the one who hurt us! Let's ignore him!"

Xiao Wu, held in A Rou's arms, grumbled discontentedly.

"Don't talk, Xiao Wu..."

A Rou rubbed Xiao Wu's head, then looked back at Yu Mengzhang, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

She thought Yu Mengzhang had just completed his Hundred Thousand Year transformation.

Seeing Yu Mengzhang's golden eyes now, her heart immediately trembled.

It was as if her Soul was shaking along with it.

That gaze only held a trace of familiarity from her distant memories.

That seemed to be the gaze of the Co-Lord of Spirit Beasts... A Rou fell silent, momentarily speechless.

Yu Mengzhang frowned slightly. The Qi he emitted after absorbing a spirit ring was actually mistaken by the other party for a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast undergoing transformation?

And the aura of the Two Dragon Kings of Ice and Fire would certainly attract the Spirit Masters tracking A Rou.

Calculating it this way, he had indeed "tricked" A Rou.

"I will help you leave..."

A Rou recovered, and immediately said, "No matter what, we are now grasshoppers tied to the same string. Spirit Hall's target is me. I can sacrifice myself so that you and my daughter can escape. I hope my sacrifice can buy you time to escort my daughter to safety. Just take her to Nuoding City, where I have prepared an identity for her..."

Yu Mengzhang raised an eyebrow slightly and glanced at Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu was staring at him with eyes full of hatred.

"It's all because of you! Mom's efforts were all in vain!" Xiao Wu ground her silver teeth, tears streaming down her face.

"I don't want to go with him, Mom! I want to be with you, even if we die together!"

Xiao Wu cried and shouted.

A Rou hugged Xiao Wu tightly and also cried, shaking her head, "Xiao Wu, Mom wants to be with you too, but we can't now..."

Yu Mengzhang watched them cry and said calmly:

"Since I interrupted your escape process, I will naturally take you away from here."

A Rou recovered and pushed Xiao Wu toward Yu Mengzhang.

"No, you don't know how strong the Spirit Masters of Spirit Hall are. They have at least three Titled Douluo! We won't be able to fight them! And you just completed your transformation; no matter how strong you were before, you are only a human child now..."

"Let's decide this way: I'll lead those people away, and you two take the opportunity to escape the Star Dou Great Forest and run towards Nuoding City!"

"Here is the map..."

A Rou stuffed a map into Yu Mengzhang's hand, then bent her knees to jump, suddenly leaping onto the branch of a large tree.

She looked back once, her eyes filled with infinite attachment.

"Mom...!"

Xiao Wu cried and reached out her hand.

A Rou heartlessly turned her head back, about to circulate her Soul Power and continue fleeing in another direction.

"Yo yo yo...! Such deep mother-daughter affection. Why separate then? Wouldn't it be better to live and die together?"

"That's right, mothers and daughters shouldn't be separated."

Two voices echoed above the forest.

A Rou's expression instantly became extremely grim.

It was Spirit Hall's pursuit force!

And it was those two strange Spirit Masters who made her feel terror.

Titled Douluo!!!

"Run!!!"

A Rou didn't dare to run elsewhere and retreated back to Xiao Wu and Yu Mengzhang's side.

At this moment, two figures suddenly appeared in the air not far away. They were Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.

They stood one in front and one behind, surrounding the three of them in the middle.

Both showed smug expressions.

"Now, His Holiness the Supreme Pontiff will praise us! We have accomplished a great deed!"

"Three Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beasts undergoing transformation! What a find!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo both stared intensely at A Rou.

Chrysanthemum Douluo was in front of A Rou and couldn't see Yu Mengzhang's face behind her.

Ghost Douluo was behind, only seeing the back of Yu Mengzhang's head. In his excitement, he hadn't noticed anything amiss.

A Rou's face instantly became extremely pale. Under these circumstances, there was only a dead end.

She didn't even have the chance to use her life as a threat.

After all, her Spirit Bone would definitely burst out.

And this was Spirit Hall's goal!

"I'm going to explode on them soon. You two take the chance to escape, understand?" A Rou transmitted the message softly.

Xiao Wu hugged A Rou's waist, "I don't want to..."

"Don't be like this, Xiao Wu. They are Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall, incomparably powerful. It's impossible for them to let us leave. This is the only way out..."

A Rou also held back tears, speaking in a deep voice.

Yu Mengzhang moved sideways one step, revealing his face.

He looked up at Chrysanthemum Douluo in the air.

!!!

Chrysanthemum Douluo was instantly dumbfounded.

He rubbed his eyes, but when he looked at those golden eyes again, they were still the same, unchanged!

This is the Immortal Master!

The High Priest actually came to the Star Dou Great Forest and is walking with a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast?

Yu Mengzhang turned his head and looked at Ghost Douluo.

Ghost Douluo initially didn't understand why Chrysanthemum Douluo looked like he had seen a ghost.

After looking at Yu Mengzhang, he released his Soul Power and nearly fell straight out of the air.

He didn't dare to move even a muscle.

A strong sense of terror even rose in his heart.

He surely hadn't offended the High Priest just now, right?

He wouldn't incur the wrath of Divine Lord, would he?

If that Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast undergoing transformation was protected by the Divine Lord, they wouldn't be a match even combined?!

"Let's go." Yu Mengzhang said calmly.

A Rou was stunned and looked back at Yu Mengzhang.

In those golden eyes, he was still calm and composed, without the slightest panic.

"You, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly noticed the state of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.

They were in a state of shock, unable to focus on anything else.

A Rou acted decisively, grabbing Xiao Wu and Yu Mengzhang, starting with a burst, and instantly fled in the opposite direction.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo watched her back, neither of them giving chase.

The Dragon Clan Spirit Beasts below also scattered and fled at the same time.

Single-Horned Thunder Dragon and "Green Lizard" chased after A Rou.

"Old Chrysanthemum, this..." Ghost Douluo's face was pale, and he desperately wanted to flee immediately.

If they failed to catch her, it would be fine; at most, they would be punished by Bibi Dong.

But if they did pursue, would they invite the wrath of the Divine Lord?

Chrysanthemum Douluo swallowed his saliva, "We, we didn't see anything..."

Ghost Douluo nodded vigorously, "Exactly!"

A moment later, a team of Spirit Masters from Spirit Hall rushed over.

"Elder Chrysanthemum, Elder Ghost, is there any situation?"

The leading Platinum Bishop asked.

"We don't know!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo immediately replied.

"What?" The Platinum Bishop looked bewildered.
