Chapter 355: Make Many Friends
After listening to Ning Fengzhi's proposal, Ou Ya and Hai Mao decided to wait and see.
If the Vast Sea Universe Cover is really in the hands of the Spirit Hall, it would be easier to deal with. The fear is that the people under the Spirit Hall will take the Vast Sea Universe Cover privately and hide it. It would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find it.
Of course, the Vast Sea Universe Cover contains the Sea God's divine thoughts. In theory, it is quite easy for the Sea God to find it. But when Poseidon could not sense the existence of his divine thoughts on the Douluo Continent, he knew that the matter was not that simple.
The person who could erase the divine thoughts without any signs must be either a god; or the inheritor of a god, and this person is not far from inheriting the throne.
Poseidon secretly investigated in the God Realm and quickly ruled out the possibility of a god committing a crime. After the clues were cut off, he chose to let Poseidon look for it on the Douluo Continent. He would not tell the specific reason, after all, it was very embarrassing.
As for his divine thoughts, they had long been refined by Han Yu. And at this moment, Han Yu was practicing in seclusion with the help of his surging spiritual power. He didn't know about the news of the sea soul master's journey.
When Ou Ya and the others met Ning Fengzhi and others, Dugu Bo retreated several miles for fear of being exposed. After exceeding the range of the soul guide telescope, he didn't know what Ning Fengzhi and others talked about.
...
In the Xingdou Great Forest, with the presence of the two Titled Douluos, Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo, the Soul Hunting Team once again came to the junction of the mixed area and the core area and stationed there for many days.
Ghost Douluo and Golden Eagle Soul Douluo collected a lot of information about the core area. They have completely mastered the information about the Titan Giant Ape. If they really start fighting, the Titan Giant Ape will have no chance of escape.
As for the Sky Blue Bull Python, since Han Yu took action, such a large soul beast seemed to have disappeared. No matter how Ghost Douluo searched, he could not find its trace. They suspected that the Azure Bull Python was hiding in the Lake of Life, but the Titan Giant Ape was guarding the periphery of the lake, and the three brothers of the Qianjun Ant King were eyeing it covetously, so Ghost Douluo really couldn't go deeper.
After learning about Ghost Douluo's report, Bibi Dong quickly rushed here.
"Teacher."
"Your Highness."
The Soul Hunting Team saluted hurriedly.
Bibi Dong did not talk to Hu Liena at the first time, but went past her to find Ghost Douluo. Compared with her own disciples, this soul hunting operation is related to her divine test, and there is no room for error.
After the report, Ghost Douluo said helplessly, "Your Highness, please forgive me for my incompetence and failure to find the trace of the Azure Bull Python."
Originally, the ancient books of the Spirit Hall simply recorded that the Titan Giant Ape, the king of the forest, and the Azure Bull Python, the emperor of the forest, lived in the deepest part of the forest. The information that Ghost Douluo found this time is a great achievement, so how could Bibi Dong blame him?
"Ghost Elder, you have done a good job. This time, no matter what, these two beasts can't escape." Bibi Dong turned her eyes to the depths of the forest. This time, she was determined to win.
Ghost Douluo Lian said: "Your Highness, there is another important thing. A few days ago, I detected an extremely powerful and hidden breath deep in the mixed area. After I chased it, I didn't find the source of the breath. But it's very strange there. There are some blue silver grasses that have been there for years, and they have formed a huge scale. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I didn't go deep into it."
"Now that I think about it, it is very likely that the Sky Blue Bull Python hid in it and waited for an opportunity to move."
Bibi Dong heard this, her face changed slightly, and she hurriedly confirmed: "Ghost Elder, did you see it with your own eyes?"
Ghost shook his head. He just felt the fluctuation of soul power and didn't find the other party's trace.
Bibi Dong breathed a sigh of relief and analyzed, "That shouldn't be the Azure Bull Python. According to records, the Azure Bull Python is extremely large, and the size of its dragon head alone is comparable to that of the Titan Giant Ape. With such a large body, wherever it passes, there must be dark clouds pressing down on the city."
Ghost Douluo thought it made sense, and touched his chin and said, "I haven't seen such a scene. If it is a soul beast, its size should not be larger than the Titan Giant Ape. But if it is a human soul master."
Speaking of this, his expression became serious, "Your Highness, this person's aura is probably not inferior to the three priests. If this is the case, we need the support of the priests for this operation to be more secure."
Bibi Dong also thought it made sense. However, when she set out, Qian Renxue was worried about her safety, so she specially sent Qianjun and Jiangmo Douluo to help.
Not long ago, the soul power of the two broke through together. It is unlikely to break through again in a short period of time. In the worship hall, the other priests are in seclusion, and they are the only ones who can be mobilized for the time being.
At this moment, the two of them were lurking behind the main force, ensuring the safety of the rear while also removing potential threats for the main force. Of course, if the main force gets into trouble, they will immediately support it.
"Don't worry, the Great Priest specially dispatched six or seven Priests to help. If a strong man really appears, the two of them plus us, the five Titled Douluo are enough to deal with it." Bibi Dong said indifferently.
In her heart, she was unwilling to let Qianjun and Jiangmo help. The Soul Hunting Operation was initiated by the Pope's Palace, but in the end, the Priest's Palace had to clean up the mess. This was too embarrassing.
Now that the business has been discussed, Bibi Dong will definitely ask about the previous experience of the Soul Hunting Team.
With this in mind, Ghost Douluo hurriedly said: "Your Holiness, Nana's performance during this period is remarkable. The reason why she asked for support from the Eight Priests before was because Tie Niu, the bastard, did not obey orders, and Nana was imprisoned in order to stabilize the morale of the army."
Bibi Dong did not express her opinion, but asked: "I know Tie Niu's temper. Since the incident was caused by him, he will definitely not shirk responsibility. Why should Ghost Elder do this?"
"This" Ghost Douluo was speechless for a moment.
Although the Pope's Palace and the Priest's Palace have reconciled in recent years, the original small groups still exist.
Originally, they had a lot of complaints about Bibi Dong, but with the reconciliation, they would no longer mention such words that were not conducive to unity.
But this contradiction did not disappear, but was transferred out. It's just that the object of this transfer happened to be Hu Liena.
Hu Liena is the Saint of the Spirit Hall, and it is understandable that she occupies rich cultivation resources. But the problem is that there cannot be two Saints in the Spirit Hall. With Qian Renxue's return, the conflict reached its peak.
No matter how you look at it, Qian Renxue is the legitimate heir of the Qian family, and Hu Liena is just an outsider. The two of them reached a settlement in Canaan City before, but this matter was not made public, and the outside world had no way of knowing it.
This time, Hu Liena took the initiative to volunteer for the soul hunting operation. If she completed the task beautifully, and the Worship Hall continued to remain silent, she would at least not be deprived of her current treatment. But something happened, and Han Yu rescued them.
I don't know who let it slip, and now some elders of the Elder Hall have come to the Pope Hall to ask for an explanation.
But looking at Bibi Dong's posture, it seems that she didn't take the matter to heart.
Guimei knew that she was just a hard-working person and didn't understand the art of power and intrigue at all, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Bibi Dong turned around and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Elder Ghost. Have a good rest tonight. We will take action early tomorrow morning."
"Yes, Your Holiness."
Bibi Dong did not walk far, but walked towards Hu Liena.
"Your Holiness, Nana..."
Bibi Dong did not give Yue Guan a chance to speak, and waved her hand to interrupt.
As Han Yu's follower in the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong let him finish his words.
"Your Holiness, the performance of Her Highness the Saint has reached the standard you set at the time. Even in the handling of some details, she is more sophisticated than us old guys."
"Your Holiness, this matter started because of me, and has nothing to do with Her Highness the Saint." Tie Niu hurriedly replied.
Bibi Dong nodded slightly, and there was no joy or anger in her eyes.
Although she wanted to protect Hu Liena, if the other party disappointed her again and again, she could only take the worst strategy. Fortunately, Hu Liena's performance did not disappoint her.
"Nana, come with me." Bibi Dong said simply, and turned to walk to the tent on the side.
Hu Liena was extremely nervous. She didn't know if her actions would disappoint her teacher, and she didn't know how much pressure this incident would put on her teacher.
"Nana, you have done very well. His Holiness the Pope will not blame you. Just go with peace of mind."
"His Holiness the Pope once said that if you lose, you must admit it, and if you are beaten, you must stand at attention. If you show this expression, His Holiness the Pope will probably be really disappointed."
Compared with Gui Mei, Yue Guan has to be more careful in interpersonal communication and do better in details.
Hu Liena calmed down and followed quickly.
In the tent, Bibi Dong sat on the first seat, looking around casually.
Hu Liena stood in front of her. Although Yue Guan gave her a reassurance, she was still a little worried.
After a while, Bibi Dong said, "Nana, don't you have anything to say?"
Hu Liena stumbled and knelt on the ground, "Teacher, because of my wrong decision, this matter almost killed everyone. I am willing to accept all punishments and bear the corresponding responsibilities."
Bibi Dong smiled first, and then said calmly, "Nana, this matter was caused by Tie Niu. When he returns to the hall, he will bear the corresponding punishment. This is not your problem. Your problem is not here."
Hu Liena had already simulated all possible results in her mind, but she didn't expect that her teacher didn't blame her for it.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "Teacher, I failed to stop Senior Tie Niu. If I can be tougher, maybe Senior Tie Niu will change his mind, and we won't have to..."
Bibi Dong interrupted, "Coercive means are the worst way. If you do this, you will definitely offend Tie Niu. With your current strength, you offend an old Soul Douluo, and an old antique. Will your future days be better?"
At this point, she paused for a moment. Seeing Hu Liena's look of seeking advice, she continued, "Back then, when I ascended to the position of Pope, no one in the entire Spirit Hall supported me. Whether it was walking on thin ice or feeling like a thorn in the back, I still managed to survive. Now, although the situation back then will not happen again, my style and methods of doing things remain the same."
"I read a book a long time ago. I have long forgotten the title and content of the book. But there is one sentence that I still remember clearly: 'In this world, you need to make many friends. If you are imprisoned one day, these friends will be your way out.' Instead of thinking about how to fight Tie Niu, it is better to think about how to make friends with him."
"It is true that Tie Niu is an old antique, but he also has his bright spots. When something went wrong, he did not put the blame on you. Maybe in your heart, he often contradicts you, and you don't like such people. But there is something wrong with your view of the problem, so that you can only see his bad side. He is responsible. On the other hand, you subconsciously ignored it. "
Hu Liena nodded thoughtfully, "Teacher, I think I have done a lot of things that are not good enough. I am willing to return the position of the Saint. All these mistakes are caused by my inconsiderate handling of things. As the leader, I should bear all the responsibility."
Bibi Dong stood up, walked to Hu Liena, and gently stroked her forehead, "Nana, you can take the initiative to admit your mistakes and find out your own shortcomings. Teacher is very happy. Don't say these words in the future. In the future, you should assist Xue'er with peace of mind, which is the greatest reward for the Spirit Hall."
"Yes, teacher." Hu Liena responded seriously.
Bibi Dong was a little relieved. She didn't want to say these words.
Hu Liena has been living under her wings for many years, and she has acted without considering the consequences. If you say it too early, the other party may not listen to it. If you repeat it in the future, the other party will be even more indifferent.
Seeing Hu Liena's change, Bibi Dong told her way of dealing with things. If Hu Liena could "absorb" everything, she could save a lot of trouble in the future.
Bibi Dong watched Hu Liena leave the tent without moving her eyes away.
Hu Liena immediately found Tie Niu. Although she didn't know what she said, Tie Niu's face, which was always stern, rarely showed a smile.
Having achieved the effect she wanted, Bibi Dong slowly closed the tent and thought about the specific soul hunting plan.
First of all, the Xingdou Great Forest is not their home ground. The Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python are the natives who have lived here for 100,000 years. Everything here is under the control of the other party.
The 100,000-year soul beast has wisdom that is not inferior to that of humans. It is not easy to lure the other party into a trap with ordinary means.
The only way that can work is to attack by force. Using a strong offensive like a whirlwind to kill them in one go is the right answer. But the counterattack of the 100,000-year soul beast before death is not so easy to deal with. Once he chooses to self-destruct, not only will he lose his soul rings and soul bones, but the soul hunting team will also suffer heavy losses.
Recalling what Han Yu said, there are more than two hundred thousand year old soul beasts, the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python, in the Xingdou Great Forest. There are many hundred thousand year old soul beasts lurking in the dark, and there are even those that are beyond a hundred thousand years old. Bibi Dong dare not take it lightly.
"The superposition of the Killing God Domain and the Death Domain should be able to scare those two beasts. The martial soul fusion skills of Jue Gui and the others are a good help. Well, let Qianjun and the Demon-Subduing Worshiper keep an eye on the rear."
