Chapter 84 Ghostly Pursuit
At that moment, a ghostly voice rang in Niu Butong's ear:
How much further?
The voice was hoarse and cold, like an ancient block of ice, striking Niu Butong's eardrums. A chill suddenly spread from head to toe, causing him to tremble involuntarily.
Niu Butong roughly judged the direction and hurriedly replied:
"Your Majesty Ghost Douluo, it's just past that hill, about two kilometers away. There are quite a few Soft Bone Rabbits living there. Yesterday, we were attacked while hunting a thousand-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit there."
"Hmm." Ghost nodded, lowered its flight altitude, and landed below the dense forest, instead leaping between the trees.
A moment later, he stopped on a towering tree, carrying Niu Butong.
Niu Butong pointed to an open space below and said:
"Your Majesty Ghost Douluo, this is the place."
From within the black robe, ghostly eyes swept downwards.
The scene below was a mess, clearly indicating that a battle had taken place. There were many skeletons of soul beasts scattered around, presumably those that had died in the battle.
A day passed, and the flesh and blood on the soul beast's corpse had been completely devoured by the other soul beasts in the forest, leaving only some bones.
The ghost asked in a cold voice:
Where did the little girl riding the rabbit you mentioned appear?
"There," Niu Butong said, pointing to a relatively hidden patch of grass.
"You wait here."
Ghostly figure coldly uttered a sentence and then vanished in a flash.
The ghostly figure instantly landed in the hidden bushes, and then a powerful spiritual force surged out from the black robe, carefully sensing the surrounding atmosphere.
Before long, the ghost detected an extremely dense aura of a soul beast.
This aura was out of place with the surrounding environment and different from the residual aura of the surrounding hundred- or thousand-year-old soul beasts. It was a unique fishy and pungent smell, containing a trace of alluring power. It was not much different from the pungent smell of the Soft Bone Rabbit, but it was much stronger.
Besides this aura, there was another aura that was relatively fainter.
Based on the information provided by Niu Butong, this fainter scent should have been left by the three-meter-tall soft-boned rabbit.
Judging from its height, it should be a soft-boned rabbit that is 30,000 years old.
The little girl was undoubtedly the human form of a 100,000-year-old Soft-Boned Rabbit.
At that moment, the ghostly figure, whose brow was hidden beneath his robe and hat, suddenly frowned and coldly uttered, "It stinks!"
Ghost couldn't help but think that this was too different from the aura of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor he had seen before.
It should be noted that the aura emanating from a 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor transformed soul beast is a fresh and natural plant fragrance that smells particularly pleasant.
However, this 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast had a strong, foul, rabbit-like odor.
Ghostly was almost starting to wonder if something was wrong.
However, the strong, unpleasant smell also has its advantages.
Because the scent doesn't dissipate easily, it's very helpful for tracking.
Only a day has passed, and following the scent, Ghost is confident that he will soon be able to locate the whereabouts of this 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast.
Following the scent, the ghost once again transformed into a phantom, traversing the forest until it stopped after tracking for dozens of kilometers.
He had now arrived at an extremely secluded valley.
The valley is surrounded by a dense thicket of bushes and thorns, making it seem like there's no path at all.
If an ordinary person is not paying attention, they would never notice this valley.
Suddenly, a soft-boned rabbit hopped out from the dense bushes and thorns, and came face to face with the ghost.
The soft-boned rabbit was stunned for a moment, then it kicked its legs and turned to burrow into the dense forest, but was grabbed by the quick-witted ghost and strangled to death with its five fingers.
"It seems this is a rabbit burrow. The target is probably in the valley. It's daytime now, which is when rabbits are most active, so it's not advisable to investigate for now. Let's retreat for now and come back at night. Nighttime is more advantageous for my martial spirit," Ghost thought to himself.
Then, Ghost, carrying the Soft Bone Rabbit he had strangled, left the valley and returned to the location where Niu Butong had been.
"Your Majesty Ghost Douluo, you've returned."
As the ghostly figure swept in from the depths of the forest, the bored Niu Butong quickly got up.
"Hmm." Ghostly nodded coldly.
"Your Majesty, how did it go?" Niu Butong asked cautiously.
Upon hearing this, the ghostly figure suddenly looked at Niu Butong, his aura instantly changing and his imposing presence rising sharply, causing Niu Butong's scalp to tingle. He then spoke in a hoarse and cold voice:
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask!"
"Okay, okay, okay." Niu Butong nodded hurriedly, pressing his large palm to his mouth.
"My god, that was terrifying! I thought I was going to die. Title Douluo are really too scary!" Niu Butong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his heart trembling.
"This is..." He looked at the Soft Bone Rabbit that the ghost was holding and asked.
"I grabbed a rabbit on the spur of the moment. Go, skin this rabbit and make it for dinner. You roast it." Ghostly tossed the soft-boned rabbit to Niu Butong and coldly ordered.
"Alright!" Niu Butong quickly flattered.
He picked up the soft-boned rabbit, ran to the side to process it, and then set up a fire to roast it.
……
night.
As night deepened, the ghost transformed into a ghostly figure amidst the mist, reappearing on the outskirts of the hidden valley.
By this time, the soft-boned rabbits in the valley had all returned to their rabbit burrows to rest.
The ghost concealed its presence, traversed the dense forest, and silently entered the valley.
Upon entering the valley, the view suddenly opened up to a bright and open space.
There were no tall trees in the valley, and the bright moonlight shone down from the deep night sky, with a small stream flowing quietly by.
Unlike the sounds of insects and beasts in the forest outside, the valley was unusually quiet, completely out of place with the outside world, like a paradise on earth.
Once the ghost entered the valley, it confirmed that the valley was indeed a rabbit burrow, surrounded by numerous soft-boned rabbit burrows.
As soon as one releases their spiritual energy, they will find that they are surrounded by an intense and persistent aura, which is the fishy smell of the Soft Bone Rabbit.
One of them was extremely strong, the same aura of the transformed soul beast that I sensed during the day.
The scent came from deep within the valley.
The ghost concealed itself and continued its investigation deeper into the valley, following the stream.
Finally, at the end of the valley, they found a small wooden house, a simple wooden house, with a structure similar to the houses where ordinary people lived in rural towns in the Douluo Continent.
At this moment, a dim yellow light shone through the windows of the wooden house, indicating that someone was living there.
"Human dwellings?"
A ghostly figure emerged from behind a boulder, its brows slightly furrowed beneath its robes and hat.
He quickly shook his head again, thinking to himself:
"No, that's not right. This is the Star Dou Great Forest. Humans couldn't possibly live in a place like this. So, this is the dwelling place of that transformed soul beast?"
"It must be so. After a soul beast transforms into a human, it needs to live according to human habits in order to grow."
Upon realizing this, a glint of light flashed in his eyes beneath the ghostly robes and hat, and a look of joy appeared on his face:
"Found it!"
Then, he released his spiritual energy and cautiously probed forward.
