"It really is Yu Xiaogang, I was just saying it casually and didn't actually believe it."
Chrysanthemum Douluo's gaze sharpened as she widened her eyes to look at Ye Feng.
Ye Feng didn't speak, which seemed to confirm her guess.
Chrysanthemum Douluo's mouth was as if it had been enlightened!
"Let me see if it is really Yu Xiaogang."
Du Gubo snatched the telescope from Ye Feng's hands.
One eye closed, the other peering through the lens magnification and seeing everything crystal clear.
They weren't bluffing him with their words.
At this moment, Du Gubo was one hundred percent convinced that what he saw with his own eyes was true — Yu Xiaogang was in the forest over a hundred kilometers away.
So, how should they go about finding them?
"So what if it is? How does it relate to me if it isn't?"
Du Gubo pouted as he spoke.
Pouting quite dramatically!
His gaze sneakily shifted toward Ye Feng.
Back in Martial Soul Hall, he had publicly stated that anything concerning Ye Feng was his business, and no one could stop him.
Now, changing his tune was faster than flipping a book!!
"Hmm, so we should immediately hit the road to find them as soon as we locate our target, right, Little Fengfeng?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo was the one to speak up.
She seemed to know better what was on Ye Feng's mind!
Every time after seeing Yu Xiaogang, his heart was filled with an indescribable restlessness!
He almost wished to rush up to Yu Xiaogang and strike him down right in front of Ye Feng.
"Old Poison, if you're feeling regretful now, we can give you one second to think it over,"
"and decide whether to join us in looking for them."
"If I remember correctly, Yu Xiaogang wasn't too nice to you either. He humiliated you in front of everyone, though you might have forgotten by now."
Was Yu Xiaogang really known to say such things?
Anyway, it was up to him whether he cared to join them or not!
Chrysanthemum Douluo's indifferent stance.
"All right, let's continue on our way, Old Poison. You don't need to overthink things — joining us is definitely the right move."
"I seem to recall that Yu Xiaogang did indeed say something about you, ha, although I can't be certain what exactly he said, it was definitely something unpleasant and directly insulting — that was the gist of it."
"Are you really not planning to go with me? This is a good opportunity. If you miss it, you'll just have to wait for the next one."
Ye Feng looked at Du Gubo with a serious expression.
Truth be told, Yu Xiaogang had never insulted Du Gubo, but seeing Ye Feng and the others together made Yu Xiaogang want to kill anyone on sight!
Ye Feng, quick to notice, realized that Chrysanthemum Douluo was trying to coax Du Gubo into joining them.
After all, they were heading into a fight, not a picnic — the more people, the more help.
"You two didn't collude in secret, did you? Trying to deceive me into helping you guys deal with Tang San and the others!!"
"Old Peel, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You're really smart, using me as a shield as soon as anything goes wrong. I won't fall for your tricks. I've made up my mind; I've decided to head back home. I won't meddle in your affairs."
This old man has seen a lot of fighting and killing in his time, hasn't he?
What's inexplicable is that this time, Du Gubo seems strange; he's never been one to shrink away like this.
This time, he chose to evade and stopped dealing with Ye Feng!!
"Then, Du Gubo, you can go."
Chrysanthemum Douluo spoke up just as Du Gubo was about to turn and leave.
"Howl—"
"What's that sound!?"
Du Gubo stopped in his tracks, afraid to take another step.
"Hiss—"
Ye Feng instantly released his Soul Power to protect himself!
The Bloodthirsty Demon Scythe was gripped tightly in his hand, ready in case of an attack.
"Turns out it's a wolf, what's there to be afraid of? Just ignore it."
Chrysanthemum Douluo appeared unfazed, sensing no danger.
Upon a closer look, the wolf was clearly targeting them; dodging it was probably not an option!
"Little Fengfeng, don't get close to it. Watch out for its attack. This is no ordinary wolf; it must be at least a hundred thousand years old. Normally, wolves have brown or gray-white fur, but this one before us is all black, not to mention the long limbs, pointed muzzle, pronounced nose, erect and pointed ears — all indicating a sharp sense of smell and excellent hearing."
"Moreover, the most important thing is that it likes to move at night, adept at rapid and long-distance running. So, now you know why it just let out those howls."
It was certainly a cry of hunger.
Ye Feng explained to them.
Du Gubo wore a puzzled look as he turned to Chrysanthemum Douluo.
He seemed not to know much about soul beasts, only the medicinal value of the Dugu Family's Immortal Grass Elixir!
"Of course I know that, do you even have to ask? It has come out at night to find food, discovering our whereabouts through its sense of smell."
The wolf wanted to eat human flesh!!
If such a wolf were in a modern forest, it would probably be detained by the national wildlife protection agency.
In many zoos, it would become the center of attention among visitors.
This is what humans refer to as protecting animals, yet the animals have no freedom and are securely locked away by humans!
But in the Soul Land, wolves are pack animals not easily taken down; they would send distress signals for help, and the pack would unite to attack humans.
Ye Feng spoke frankly.
"Hey! Old Poison, you said you were going back home; why are you still hanging around? If you really want to leave, head back to your place instead of sticking around here."
Ye Feng addressed Du Gubo with a look of disdain.
Du Gubo's face darkened as he looked at Ye Feng.
"Old Flayer, you're so eager to drive me away, huh? Well, I'll just stay right here and refuse to leave; what are you going to do about it!"
"Hiss—"
