Chapter 178 Oh ho, this rabbit spirit has quite a temper?
"What is this thing?"
"A rabbit spirit?"
The snotty-nosed kid sniffed, and his dirty finger poked Xiao Wu's long, furry ears without any hesitation. He even pinched them a couple of times. They felt so soft that he couldn't help but poke them a few more times.
For a moment, Xiao Wu was completely distraught.
As a former 100,000-year-old rogue rabbit from the Star Dou Great Forest, and now one of the Shrek Seven Devils, when has she ever suffered such grievances?
Even worse, the moment they arrived in this world, a terrifying and suffocating gravity crashed down on them like Mount Tai!
The feeling was like carrying a mountain of ten thousand feet on your back, with every bone making a cracking sound as you struggled to bear the weight.
Every muscle was being held down tightly, making even breathing incredibly difficult.
"No...don't touch me!"
Xiao Wu tried to struggle, attempting to use her teleportation or waist arch.
However, she was horrified to discover that her once-proud soul power was nothing more than a wisp of insignificant smoke in the face of the laws of this world.
Before it could even be mobilized, it was scattered by the omnipresent pressure of heaven and earth!
Forget teleporting, she can't even lift a finger now!
"Oh ho? You've got quite a temper, haven't you?"
Seeing this, the monkey beside him grinned, revealing a set of white teeth. He toyed with a leg bone of an unknown ferocious beast in his hand, and said with a wild air:
"Look, isn't the aura on this little rabbit similar to that of Sister Qian Renxue when she first arrived?"
"Equally frail and delicate, with equally tender skin."
Er Meng nodded, walked forward casually, and like picking up a chick, grabbed Xiao Wu by the back of her neck and lifted her up:
"It's probably that Douluo Continent thing again."
"I really don't know why the people there are all so weak, they're not even as good as the mangy dog at the entrance of our village."
"How exactly did we come to the Upper Realm?"
Being lifted into the air like cargo, Xiao Wu was filled with shame and indignation.
Two long, slender legs kicked weakly a few times, but they couldn't budge Er Meng's iron-like hands even a fraction.
"Let me go! I am..."
"Alright, alright, stop yelling."
Seeing that she was about to utter those pointless threats, Er Meng picked at his ear with some disgust, then casually pulled out a beast sinew rope from his pocket, skillfully tied Xiao Wu up tightly, and then tossed her behind his back:
"Now that we've caught it, it's our prey."
"It just so happens that Sister Aman has been saying she wants to get a pet these past few days. This rabbit looks quite clever, so let's take it back for her to play with."
And so, the dignified Soft-Boned Enchantress Rabbit, a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form, and the future wife of the Sea God, was taken away as a pet by a few mischievous children.
"Let's go! Let's keep hunting!"
"I heard there's a one-horned thunder rhinoceros on that mountain over there. Its horn is a real treasure; it can be used to forge magical artifacts!"
The monkey waved its bone club excitedly, and a group of children rushed into the dense primeval forest with shouts.
As for Xiao Wu, who was hanging on Er Meng's back, she looked utterly hopeless and on the verge of tears.
Soon, deep in the jungle.
The little ones were searching around for any possible prey.
"roar!!"
Suddenly, a tiger's roar rang out, and a saber-toothed tiger, tens of meters tall, covered in black scales and exuding an overwhelming aura of ferocity, pounced out from the depths of the jungle.
That terrifying aura was countless times stronger than any soul beast she had ever seen in the Star Dou Great Forest!
Even the kings of the forest, like Erming and Daming, would probably only be able to tremble in fear before this saber-toothed tiger!
"It's over..."
Seeing this, Xiao Wu couldn't help but close her eyes in despair.
How could these children possibly defeat a ferocious beast of this level?
However, the next second, she heard a burst of excited cheers.
"Good timing!"
Suddenly, the little boy who had been sniffling pulled out a talisman that emitted a faint blue light from his pocket and tossed it aside.
"boom!!"
In an instant, the seemingly ordinary talisman transformed into a dazzling bolt of lightning, striking the saber-toothed tiger precisely on the forehead.
Under that terrifying blow, the once arrogant saber-toothed tiger didn't even have time to let out a scream before it was blasted black by the lightning and fell straight down, dead beyond dead.
"What...what kind of treasure is this?"
Xiao Wu was dumbfounded. The power emanating from the talisman, even just a trace of its residual force, made her feel her soul tremble.
"Tch, too weak."
On the other side, the snotty-nosed kid, having finished all that, pouted, stepped forward, skillfully dug out the saber-toothed tiger's precious bone, and even looked disgusted:
"The palm lightning talisman paper given by the Qingyun Sect is useful, but it's too powerful. It burned the fur. When I get back, my grandfather, the clan chief, will scold me for being wasteful."
In the time that followed, Xiao Wu's values were relentlessly challenged time and time again.
She watched helplessly as these children, who looked like they hadn't been weaned yet, held all sorts of strange magical artifacts in their hands. Some could breathe fire, some could generate electricity, and some could even flatten a small hill.
Those terrifying beasts that she considered capable of destroying the entire Douluo Continent were like lambs to the slaughter in front of this group of bratty kids, easily defeated one by one.
"My God, what's going on with this world?"
Soon, Xiao Wu's heart was also filled with a deep sense of powerlessness.
When she saw those images in the sky, she was also shocked, but ultimately, she was separated from them by a screen and couldn't experience them firsthand.
Now that she's experiencing it firsthand, she truly understands what it means to be less than an ant.
In this world, even the most ordinary ferocious beast would be considered a divine beast in the Douluo Continent!
And these children...
They're practically a bunch of humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex!
However, just as Xiao Wu was still feeling sentimental, a tremendous, earth-shaking noise suddenly came.
"Moo!!"
Suddenly, a one-horned thunder rhinoceros, its body wreathed in purple lightning and its size resembling a moving small mountain, burst out from the depths of the forest while the smaller ones were not paying attention.
With each step it took, the earth trembled violently, and countless ancient trees were uprooted.
That violent aura even made Er Meng and the others, who possessed countless magical treasures bestowed upon them by the Qingyun Sect, change their expressions.
"Oh no! It's a descendant of a pure-blooded being!"
"This guy is a bit troublesome; it seems our Noble Phantasms aren't enough!"
Pi Hou's expression changed, and he slammed the bone club in his hand onto Lei Xi, but it only sent up a string of sparks and didn't even break the skin.
"Quick! Call reinforcements!"
Without any hesitation, Er Meng pulled out a blue command arrow from his pocket and squeezed it hard towards the sky.
