Chapter 72: "You Will Regret This!"

Chapter 72: "You Will Regret This!"

Kong's lips twitched and his eyelids fluttered wildly. This development in the plot was beyond his expectations!

What was going on with this Soft-Bone Rabbit?

If it were any other soul beast, Tang San's words would have been taken as gospel by Xiao Wu. Even the Emerald Swan clan would be no exception.

But this Soft-Bone Rabbit was different—it was a member of Xiao Wu's clan!

And what about what Tang San said earlier, about non-my kind being of different hearts, only hunting evil soul beasts? Now, he was turning against Xiao Wu's kin.

Kong just stood there watching, doing nothing, and this outcome left him completely numb!

"Wait, this Soft-Bone Rabbit might not be just a simple clan member of Xiao Wu's."

"A hundred-thousand-year Soft-Bone Rabbit. Her mother's cultivation was also around a hundred thousand years, maybe a bit more. By this calculation..."

Thinking of this, Kong's expression became peculiar.

"Please, don't hurt this Soft-Bone Rabbit!"

With tears streaming down her face, Xiao Wu shielded the Soft-Bone Rabbit behind her, pleading with Tang San and Flender.

Seeing this, the group was utterly bewildered and at a loss.

Sure, Xiao Wu was kind-hearted, but not to this extent, right?

"Xiao Wu..."

Tang San felt a pang of heartache. Why was Xiao Wu so stubborn?

"Sigh~"

With a sigh, Tang San turned to Flender and Oscar, saying, "Dean, Little Ao, why don't we hunt a different soul beast? With Xiao Wu like this, I..."

"Tang San, even if we switch to another soul beast, what if Xiao Wu tries to stop us again?"

Flender waved his hand dismissively and continued, "Besides, this thousand-year Soft-Bone Rabbit is already heavily injured by me. Even if we don't kill it, it won't survive for another hour."

How could a mere thousand-year soul beast withstand the attack of a soul saint?

"I, I have no objections..."

Oscar waved his hands in front of him, not wanting to offend either side. He was just a food-type soul master, agreeing with whatever his teachers and teammates said.

As for having his own opinion, he could have one, but he wouldn't say it aloud. He knew well enough that words could bring trouble.

"This..."

Tang San frowned. He supported Oscar in obtaining the Soft-Bone Rabbit's soul ring. Once Oscar got the soul ring, the next step would be to help him find another prey.

Flender's words only strengthened Tang San's resolve, but what about Xiao Wu?

At this moment, a voice rang out, making the entire Shrek team shudder!

"This Soft-Bone Rabbit has an unusual fluctuation of soul power around its head, likely containing a thousand-year-level head soul bone. Don't look at me like that. I'm not interested in a thousand-year-level soul bone!"

Kong said with a smile, his lips curling upwards.

Soul bones were tempting, even if it was just a thousand-year-level head soul bone!

As Kong spoke halfway, Tang San, Flender, and the others looked at him in confusion. When he finished, a flash of red appeared in everyone's eyes, including Xiao Wu, whose eyes had already turned red with anger.

"Yu Tian Kong, are you serious?"

Tang San clenched his fists, looking puzzled.

A soul bone, even if it was just a thousand-year soul bone, but it was a head soul bone!

Among the six conventional soul bones, aside from the torso soul bones, head soul bones were the most important!

"Believe it or not, if you don't believe me and insist on proof..."At this point, Kong seemed to think of something and paused slightly. He then took out the head soul bone from his storage soul guide and continued, "I'm willing to bet a soul bone with you!"

Tang San: "..."

Flender and the others: "..."

Flender's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw the soul bone in Kong's hand. Isn't that the head soul bone from Shi Nian?

Using a soul bone as a wager—this young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is truly terrifying!

Tang San looked at the head soul bone in Kong's hand, his eyes turning red with desire, though he still retained some rationality.

Setting aside whether he had a soul bone to wager against Kong's, Kong's confidence in putting up a soul bone as a bet meant he must be absolutely certain!

After a brief moment, Kong put the soul bone away again, disdainfully saying, "Seems like you don't want to bet. Hmph..."

After saying this, Kong walked away with Dugu Yan.

Tang San, Flender, Oscar, and Dai Mubai's gazes toward the thousand-year Soft-Bone Rabbit changed repeatedly. If the students weren't present and Xiao Wu wasn't in the way, Flender would have already slain the thousand-year Soft-Bone Rabbit.

Oscar's gaze was fiery, but he didn't dare speak or even look directly at the Soft-Bone Rabbit.

He was just a non-combat food-type soul master. Contending for a soul bone was not something he could afford to think about unless everyone else gave it up to him. Otherwise, even if he got the soul bone, he wouldn't know how he might die afterward!

"Xiao Wu, this Soft-Bone Rabbit cannot survive. Let Oscar kill it."

After a moment of contemplation, Tang San finally spoke to Xiao Wu.

"Xiao San..."

Xiao Wu looked up at Tang San, feeling this Xiao San was a complete stranger!

If he could target this Soft-Bone Rabbit for a thousand-year soul bone today, would he not target her for a hundred-thousand-year soul ring or soul bone in the future?

Just thinking about it sent chills down Xiao Wu's spine.

"Xiao Wu, don't be stubborn. Let Oscar kill it. It can't survive anyway, but its soul ring and soul bone can benefit two people."

Tang San persuaded again. It was just a thousand-year head soul bone, and he still had some rationality left. If it were a ten-thousand-year soul bone like the one Kong showed earlier, Tang San might have acted directly!

Xiao Wu remained silent. After a moment, she stood up and gave Tang San, Flender, Dai Mubai, and Oscar a deep look, intending to remember them all!

Finally, she glanced at Kong and coldly said, "You will regret this!"

After saying this, Xiao Wu moved away from the thousand-year Soft-Bone Rabbit and walked aside.

"Tang San, what's with your sister? It's just a Soft-Bone Rabbit, is it that serious?"

Dai Mubai sneered and added, "If she likes small animals, I'll get her a bunch of ordinary white rabbits to raise."

Tang San's eyelids twitched. The logic was sound, and he understood it, but why Xiao Wu behaved this way, he couldn't fathom.

Recalling the past, Tang San suddenly realized that Xiao Wu's mood was always poor whenever he was about to hunt soul beasts!

But if she didn't hunt soul beasts, how did she get her soul rings?

Thinking of this, Tang San almost slapped himself. How could he misinterpret Xiao Wu like this?

Xiao Wu must be too kind-hearted. A girl like her must find hunting soul beasts incredibly distressing.
