"Woof!"
Just as Xiao Tianyang was hesitating, a sudden bark came from beside him. That familiar sound made him instinctively deliver a familiar kick...
"After scaring me so many times, you're still at it!" Xiao Tianyang cursed, glancing at Bubu, who had been kicked away.
Failing to startle Xiao Tianyang, Bubu could only get up from the ground, licking his tongue and wagging his tail as he approached with a flattering look.
"I told you to keep an eye on Qian Renxue. What are you doing here?"
"Woof!"
Bubu sat in front of Xiao Tianyang, his eyes cautious.
"Beside her is a Titled Douluo..." Hearing this, Xiao Tianyang was momentarily stunned, then frowned. "Based on the current situation, that shouldn't be the case."
But then, he caught something in Bubu's words and couldn't help but ask, "Has she already arrived in the Star Dou Forest?!"
"Woof!" Bubu nodded.
"This mission was already troublesome, and now there's another complication," Xiao Tianyang muttered, his brow furrowed.
Although he didn't believe Qian Renxue would directly target him at this stage, her intentions were clearly malicious. Otherwise, why would she follow him all the way here?
Was she just bored? Obviously not. She must have other plans.
Xiao Tianyang's expression darkened, as if to say, 'There's always someone trying to harm me.'
Bubu watched and sighed inwardly. His master's life was fraught with challenges, and none of the women around him were easy to deal with...
"Can you still track her?" Xiao Tianyang suddenly asked, snapping Bubu out of his thoughts.
"Woof!"
Hearing the answer, Xiao Tianyang smiled bitterly. "She's really cautious when traveling. Hiding her tracks so thoroughly when no one's even following her..."
Of course, he knew deep down that Qian Renxue's identity had been replaced by Xue Qinghe, and she was involved in a grand scheme to conceal the truth. Her caution was understandable.
Even though Xiao Tianyang knew this wasn't what she truly wanted, under Bibi Dong's influence, she had no choice but to comply.
Shaking his head to dispel these thoughts, Xiao Tianyang's expression grew serious.
"Her coming here must be about me, but it's not the only reason. Otherwise, with her personality, she wouldn't act so impulsively. There must be some other reasons..."
After pondering for a moment, a realization struck him like a bolt of lightning.
"When I last saw her, she was already a Soul Emperor. Given the time that's passed and her talent, it's not unreasonable for her to have reached level 70."
"So, while chasing me is part of it, if I'm not mistaken, she's also here to obtain her seventh soul ring!" Having figured this out, Xiao Tianyang couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.
"As long as she has her own agenda, she won't be solely focused on me."
"But if that's the case, I need to hurry. If she gets her seventh soul ring before me, I'll definitely be at a disadvantage!"
Bubu watched as Xiao Tianyang sat under a tree, muttering to himself. His expression shifted strangely, and a hint of panic flickered in the dog's eyes.
'Could it be that Master has gone mad?'
After composing himself, Xiao Tianyang glanced at Bubu and frowned. "What's with that look?"
"Woof!" Bubu cautiously backed away, his expression sly.
Understanding the dog's meaning, Xiao Tianyang's face darkened. Moments later, the sound of a dog's howl echoed through the forest, filled with anguish...
Soon, the duo was on the move again.
It's worth noting that Bubu's resilience was truly remarkable. One moment, he seemed on the verge of death after Xiao Tianyang's beating, and the next, he was full of energy.
But these details didn't matter. After all, Xiao Tianyang only beat Bubu to "strengthen their bond"—or so he believed.
Half a day later, Xiao Tianyang delivered a powerful punch, sending a ten-meter-tall spirit beast flying! At the same time, he spun around and kicked another spirit beast that had tried to ambush him, sending it tumbling away like a broken kite.
The two soul beasts, both over 3,000 years old, eventually retreated in frustration after failing to defeat Xiao Tianyang despite numerous attempts.
The two had come here with a purpose, so there was no need to overexert themselves.
Ding!
Congratulations, Host, for defeating two 3,000-year-old soul beasts. Reward: 360 lottery points!
Despite the victory and the reward, Xiao Tianyang showed no joy on his face.
"I've been out here for so long, and I haven't even encountered a 10,000-year-old spirit beast. Do I really need to venture deeper?"
After a sigh, he turned to Bubu. "Have you found any traces?"
"Woof!"
Bubu emerged from the bushes with a grass ring on his head and shook his head.
Xiao Tianyang frowned. "It seems we'll have to take a risk. Otherwise, this mission will be delayed."
"Woof!" Bubu barked confidently.
Xiao Tianyang glanced at him. "It better be as you say. As long as we get close to a 10,000-year-old spirit beast, you should be able to detect it."
"Otherwise, our happy life as a duo might come to an end."
This last sentence sent a shiver down Bubu's spine, but he nodded seriously.
In terms of combat effectiveness, Bubu couldn't guarantee how much help he could provide Xiao Tianyang. But when it came to detection, surveillance, search, and healing, he was confident.
Pet: Bubu
Strength Level: Level 38 [Soul Elder]
Soul Skills: You Can't See Me, Life Sharing, Reconnaissance Aura
Soul Bone: None
Martial Spirit: Sky Tearing Evil Dog
…
Bubu's first soul skill, You Can't See Me, was one of the reasons he was so hard to detect.
It wasn't invisibility, but rather a blending into the environment.
It was as natural as a stove in a kitchen or a faucet in a bathroom.
Once Bubu activated this skill, unless someone could keenly sense his aura, they wouldn't notice him—even if he peed on their shoes.
The second soul skill, Life Sharing, had saved Xiao Tianyang during a crisis in the Star Dou Forest.
The third soul skill, Reconnaissance Aura, was a passive ability similar to the first.
Surprisingly, it didn't consume much soul power but covered a vast area—up to ten kilometers!
Within this range, Bubu could detect any living creature that entered. However, if the target's aura or life force fluctuated too much, or if their strength far exceeded his like a soul douluo powerhouse, it became difficult to detect them, making stealth possible.
