Chapter 369 Tracking_1

Upon reaching the nearest soul beast forest, the Titan Ape and the Azure Oxpython that had transformed into their original forms quickly turned into human shapes...

"Just look at that soul beast forest," the Titan Ape said doubtfully, "Big brother, are you sure we just need to release these soul beasts into the forest? They might run off on their own!"

"Besides, these soul beasts are all still in their juvenile stage. They might very well..."

Hearing this, the Azure Oxpython merely glanced at him before responding, "That's what Gu Yuena specifically said, let's just do as she told us!"

You should know that young soul beasts are not as fragile as human infants; even in the most difficult environments, they can survive!

Of course, if they do die in there, it's simply natural selection!

Only in this way can we cultivate powerful soul beasts!!

The Titan Ape sighed, "Alright, since you say so, big brother..."

"Shall we now open the soul beast cage??"

But the Azure Oxpython suddenly put out his hand and said, "Wait!"

He looked coldly in a certain direction, "The one who has been hiding in the dark, isn't it time you showed yourself?"

However, there was no movement in the surroundings...

Seeing this, the Titan Ape furrowed his brows and said, "Big brother, could it be your imagination? I haven't sensed any other presence!"

Moreover, the Federation Members who had been following the two of them had already been knocked unconscious!!

Ignoring his words, the Azure Oxpython said again with a cold voice, "Hmph, won't come out, you say? Then don't blame me for not being polite!!"

Having said that, he erupted with an extremely powerful aura, readying himself for an attack...

Sure enough, within a few seconds, a man emerged from the surrounding forest...

He swallowed hard and hastily explained with an anxious face, "Wait, I mean no harm!!"

He had thought that the other was just bluffing, but to his surprise, they actually detected his presence!

Dammit!!

The Azure Oxpython scrutinized the man cautiously and demanded, "Who are you?? Why are you following us!"

The Titan Ape was astonished and said, "I can't believe someone was actually following us, and they even managed to evade my detection!"

"Don't even think about it, you're from the federation, aren't you?"

The man quickly waved his hands and explained, "No, I'm not from the federation!"

The Titan Ape pressed on, "Then who are you, and why are you following us? Speak up!"

Upon saying this, he showed an impatient face...

Seeing this, the man knew that if he continued to hide the truth, he might very well die here, so he immediately said, "I am from the Xingluo Empire. The only reason I was following you two is to carry out the orders of the State Preceptor, to keep you under surveillance!"

Hearing this, the Titan Ape quietly said to the Azure Oxpython, "Big brother, can you believe this guy is from the Xingluo Empire? According to Gu Yuena, didn't they already leave the Douluo Continent?"

Chin in hand, the Azure Oxpython pondered, "It seems the Xingluo Empire's people do not trust the Spirit Pagoda completely, so they have left someone here to watch it!"

"Just by some stroke of misfortune, they ended up surveying us!"

But the next second, he turned his sharp gaze back onto the man from the Xingluo Empire...

"Did you think I would buy that?"

If he was here to survey the people from the Spirit Pagoda, Gu Yuena should have noticed him a long time ago!

Without a doubt, this means his target is myself and my younger brother!!

"The words just now were nothing but lies!"

The man swallowed and once again said, "Honorable sirs, I... I truly am a person from the Xingluo Empire, there's absolutely no lie in that!"

The gaze of the Azure Oxpython didn't change in the slightest. "I never said you weren't a person from the Xingluo Empire, the question is what is your real purpose?"

"If there is any hint of concealment, don't blame us for being impolite!"

Originally, he didn't want to get involved in such troublesome matters, but since things had developed to this point, he naturally couldn't pretend to be oblivious!

Seeing that he couldn't persuade the two, but not wanting to reveal his true intentions, he clenched his teeth, turned around, and fled the scene at the fastest speed...

Having anticipated this, the Azure Oxpython suddenly said, "Second brother, don't let this guy escape!"

The Titan Ape next to him revealed a sinister smile. "Don't worry, big brother, he won't get away, Gravity Compression!"

With a fierce stomp of his right foot toward the ground, gravity unexpectedly descended in the space in front of him, instantly pressing the man down to the ground...

Forcing him to bend over, unable to even lift his head...

With hands behind his back, the Azure Oxpython approached unhurriedly and looked down from above, "I'll say it once more, state your purpose for coming here, or else, I can't guarantee that you will leave this place alive!"

"Or you might forever become a puddle of meat!"

Faced with such a terrible threat, the man finally resigned himself to giving up the idea of escape...

"Please don't kill me... I'll talk, I'll talk!"

He had already been warned by the State Preceptor when he had volunteered to undertake surveillance!

If his life were in danger, he could disclose his true purpose!

......

Not long after, the Titan Ape, looking somewhat upset, said to the Azure Oxpython, "Big brother, are we really just letting that guy go like this?"

The latter rolled his eyes irritably. "Second brother, he has already made his intentions crystal clear, why should we keep him here?"

"Do you perhaps want to kill him?? In that case, we might escalate the tension between the Xingluo Empire and Soul Land!"

The Titan Ape scratched his head sulkily. "Well... that's true. But who would have thought the State Preceptor of the Xingluo Empire was so cautious, to have already taken notice of us two!"

"It's just too bad it's entirely unnecessary since we don't intend to help the Spirit Pagoda at all!"

The Azure Oxpython, however, seemed surprisingly calm. "The other sects and powers are not aware that we won't side with the Spirit Pagoda!"

"Therefore, it makes sense for someone to come and investigate!"

"However, as long as that fellow just now honestly conveys our stance, I expect we won't have any trouble knocking on our door in the future!"

Upon hearing this, the Titan Ape pursed his lips. "That's not necessarily the case; in the eyes of those humans, you and I are ferocious beasts, and they naturally think we'll stand with the soul beasts!"

The Azure Oxpython couldn't help but feel a bit speechless. "Second brother, sometimes you're so silly, it's kind of endearing!"

The former immediately reacted, his eyes widening. "Big brother, were you just insulting me right now? You were insulting me, weren't you?"

The Azure Oxpython didn't seem interested in bickering and waved his hand dismissively. "Enough talk, let's hurry up and release these soul beasts so we don't run into any more hitches later!"

With that, he waved his hand and the cages behind him broke open, releasing all the soul beasts within...
