Dugu Bo glanced at the soul ring slowly rising beside him and felt a pang of regret.

"That's all. Next, we just need to find that 100,000-year-old human-faced spider king."

Gu Yi shook his head. The divine test was over. Now all he had to do was complete the tasks assigned by Bibi Dong.

"Okay, let's go then."

"And then, I still have a lot of things I want to ask you."

As he spoke, Dugu Bo tried to pull Gu Yi away, seemingly flustered.

"Uh... wait, let me go tell my little brother first."

In the blink of an eye, Gu Yi moved to the front of the Titan Ape, where Arou was chatting happily with it.

"Young man, you should just take Auntie back to the lake. I'll come back for her after I've finished dealing with my business."

"How about it?"

Seeing that they were chatting happily, Gu Yi made a suggestion.

After all, Arou has already accomplished her purpose in coming here. If she continues to follow Gu Yi, she will only be bored in the Endless Bone Domain. It would be better to let them catch up.

"Okay, let's go first."

The Titan Ape responded and then disappeared with Arou from Gu Yi and the others' sight.

Watching the man and the beast gradually disappear into the distance, Gu Yi returned to his original spot with peace of mind.

"Let's go, everything here has been arranged."

Gu Yi glanced around, as if deciding which way to go next.

But at that moment, Dugu Bo handed a piece of soul bone to Gu Yi.

"This is the 100,000-year-old torso bone of that Azure Heavenly Python from earlier. You can take it."

Although that's what he said, Dugu Bo's eyes never left it.

Seeing this, Gu Yi smiled and said, "If you want it, just take it. Giving it to Dugu Yan seems like a good idea too."

"I've basically collected all the soul bones now, so it's irrelevant."

Gu Yi still wanted to obtain his last soul bone through the system. He felt that he might actually be able to master the legendary soul bone fusion technique!

"Really? Fine! Consider this compensation for uprooting my medicinal herb garden."

As he spoke, Dugu Bo accepted the gift with satisfaction.

But he wanted to ask more than that. He asked again, "Gu Yi, how were you able to command the Titan Ape?"

"Who was that woman just now?"

"What exactly is your plan now? You have to tell me in detail today."

Chapter 185 Explanation

Dugu Bo was Gu Yi's partner, but most of the time, Gu Yi was in charge, and Dugu Bo had no choice but to obey orders unconditionally.

He didn't ask before because he was still in the shadows at the time, and even if something happened to Gu Yi, he and Yanzi wouldn't be affected.

But the situation is different now. He has laid his cards on the table, and his life and fortune are now tied to Gu Yi's. He needs to understand what to do and how to do it now.

Otherwise, he would always feel somewhat uneasy.

"I defeated the Titan Ape before, and it made some agreements with me. Now it can be said to be one of my underlings."

"That auntie was actually a soul beast before, and a 100,000-year-old soul beast at that, but she was killed by Bibi Dong in the end."

"After I resurrected her, she was reborn as a human. She had a good relationship with the Titan Apes and the others before, that's all."

"As for the current plan, it's very clear: to develop stealthily. Once I complete the divine test, I will be able to protect you."

Faced with Dugu Bo's question, Gu Yi did not hesitate to give an explanation.

Dugu Bo is an old comrade, and Gu Yi trusts him, so it is indeed necessary to explain to him.

"Wait! What have you been saying all this time?"

"The Titan Giant Ape is your underling, and you can even revive soul beasts? And what is this Divine Trial?"

Dugu Bo felt like his brain capacity was running out.

He just couldn't understand what Gu Yi was saying.

"Uh, I can't really explain the first two things to you, just remember these things."

"As for the third question, it's quite simple. The divine trials are tests left by the gods on the continent. Those who pass the trials will receive rewards bestowed by the gods."

"If you are chosen by the gods and pass all the trials, you can ascend to godhood and become a level 100 powerhouse!"

"But if we fail, there is only death ahead."

"What I am undergoing now is the divine test of the legendary Asura God, who is in charge of killing and judgment. Do you understand?"

The first two questions both contain elements of the system, so Gu Yi doesn't have a particularly good answer to them.

But it doesn't matter if they know about the Divine Examination; they're all on our side anyway.

"Level 100 Godhood! This...this is too..."

Dugu Bo was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He had never known that such a miraculous thing existed in the world.

"Does that mean that as long as you pass the test, we can do whatever we want? With you as our protector, aren't we invincible?"

Gu Rong chuckled and joked.

Although he was slightly worried about Gu Yi's safety, he could only choose to believe that Gu Yi would succeed now that things had come to this.

"Uh... it's hard to say, after all, I'm not the only one taking the divine exam."

“Bibi Dong is currently undergoing the divine test of the Rakshasa God, and Qian Daoliu’s granddaughter, Qian Renxue, will also undergo the divine test of the Angel God when she returns.”

"If the two of them team up, I might be in a bit of trouble."

"However, that's all in the future. Their divine tests won't be passed so easily. I just need to complete my divine test before then."

The advantage is on our side.

Gu Yi's current goal is very clear: to ensure his own development while preventing the two of them from developing any hostility towards him.

Otherwise, he could be in big trouble.

"Then keep going, Grandpa believes you can succeed. If there's anything I can help you with, Grandpa will do his best to help you."

"And me too! Although I'm not very strong, I will definitely do my best!"

Both Gu Rong and Dugu Bo believed that Gu Yi would succeed.

In their eyes, Gu Yi had already created too many miracles, and he would never stumble at this final moment.

"Heh~ Let's talk about these things in detail later."

"Our top priority should be to find the Spider Queen with the human face."

Gu Yi chuckled and offered a reminder.

In his memory, he seemed to recall that Tang San in the original novel had encountered a group of human-faced spider demons, and he almost wiped out their entire clan.

He originally thought that the Human-Faced Spider was really that weak and that its clan was wiped out so easily, but now it seems that Tang San was just lucky and didn't encounter a BOSS. Otherwise, this Human-Faced Spider King would definitely have given him a hard time.

Following the location mentioned in the original work, Gu Yi led Gu Rong and the other person to the location.

Searching aimlessly is definitely not going to work; it's better to go to that place and try your luck.

"I still haven't seen it. Searching for that one and only soul beast in such a large forest is like finding a needle in a haystack. It will take at least half a month to find it."

Dugu Bo complained, feeling that it was a waste of time.

"Me too. I've searched the entire area with my mental energy, but I can't find a single spider."

Gu Rong also felt it was too difficult.

"Yes, this is not a solution, but although I have a solution, it is too dangerous. I don't know if I should use it."

Unfortunately, Gu Yi wasn't very lucky. After searching for a long time, he couldn't find even a single spider.

He's already considering whether or not to use the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item to lure out those soul beasts.

"A solution? What solution do you have, kid? Tell me."

"Anyway, if we keep looking like this, I estimate it will be very difficult to get anything done, so I might as well let you give it a try."

When Gu Rong and Dugu Bo heard that Gu Yi had a solution, they immediately gathered around, quite curious.

"It's simple, just use the immortal herbs to lure them out, but this method might also attract some extremely powerful 100,000-year-old soul beasts, so..."

Gu Yi didn't continue speaking, but he had already made his point very clear.

"This... is indeed a bit of a dilemma. Even if we manage to lure out that damned soul beast, it still won't be of any use."

"We can't possibly fight so many spirit beasts at the same time, can we?"

Gu Yi's idea also put the two of them in a difficult position.

"I do have a way to deal with this. I'll pull it into my Endless Bone Domain, and that will do."

"But there's a downside to this too: your soul power will be halved, which might make things a bit more difficult when you fight."

Gu Yi had already thought through all the pros and cons of this method.

"Hey! That's alright! The human-faced spider is quite aggressive and agile, but its defense is lacking. To deal with it, we just need to restrict its movements."

"Moreover, we don't want to destroy it, we just want to control it."

"We could even simply trap it in your Endless Bone Domain and leave it there, taking it back to the Spirit Hall and then dealing with it in Spirit City later, how about that?"

Suddenly, Gu Rong seemed to have caught a blind spot in Gu Yi's plan and mentioned it with a grin.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yi and Dugu Bo exchanged a glance and exclaimed in surprise:

"Yup!"
