Ape God, activate!

While Oscar was absorbing the Soul Ring, the others stood guard around him to protect him.

About half an hour later, Oscar opened his eyes.

Three Soul Ring, two yellow and one purple, rose from beneath his feet, signifying that he had officially broken through to the Soul Grandmaster realm and advanced to become a Soul Elder.

After obtaining his Third Soul Ring, Oscar underwent some subtle changes.

He looked more energetic, and seemed to have grown a little taller. A pink glint flashed in his peach blossom eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"Congratulations, Oscar," Zhao Wuji said with a smile.

Dai Mubai stepped forward, patted Oscar on the shoulder, and said:

"Congratulations, Xiao Ao! You've become the fourth Soul Elder in Nine-Headed Serpent! Let me see what Soul Skill you've acquired!"

"What is Nine-Headed Serpent?" Zhao Wuji asked curiously.

"Those are the names of the nine of us."

"Oh... that name sounds quite unique," Zhao Wuji said.

"Ahem, let's put the title aside for now and watch me show you my new Soul Skill." Oscar cleared his throat with a smug look on his face.

"Is it Soul Skill related to speed?" Tang San asked.

"Yes, but that's not accurate," Oscar said with a chuckle.

"Hey, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me the effects!" Xiao Wu urged.

"Then you'd better listen carefully," Oscar said, hands on his hips, "My Third Spirit Skill's effect is Flight!"

"Flight!?" Everyone was startled.

"That's right, my Third Spirit Skill makes people fly. How about that? Pretty impressive, huh?" Oscar said smugly.

"How long can it fly?" Tang San asked a crucial question.

Oscar held up one index finger. "One minute."

"Tch~ What's the use of that?" Xiao Wu said with a disdainful look.

"Exactly, they can't even fly across a slightly wider river," Ma Hongjun chimed in.

He thought Oscar could help him, like a phoenix, take flight, but it seems he still has to rely on himself.

"What if it flew at the speed of Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent?" Oscar asked with a smile.

"What?" Ma Hongjun's eyes widened immediately. "With the speed of the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent? That means it could fly at least two thousand meters?"

"Hmph! That's right, now you know how powerful I am, right?" Oscar said, hands on his hips.

"All this talk is no substitute for seeing it for ourselves," Dai Mubai said.

"Alright, I'll show you what I'm made of..." Oscar raised his signature effeminate Orchid Finger, "Twin-Winged Flying Mushroom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a mushroom with two small wings appeared in Oscar's hand.

Oscar ate the mushroom, and six transparent wings grew from his back.

With a slight flap of its wings, Oscar took off and soared into the sky, circling twice before landing.

"So, what do you all think? Is my Third Spirit Skill acceptable?"

"Not bad, Xiao Ao, that's pretty fast." Dai Mubai patted Oscar on the shoulder and said.

Zhao Wuji nodded in satisfaction and said:

"This Soul Skill is really effective. We've got off to a great start, Oscar. With your current Soul Power, how many of these mushrooms can you create?"

"I'll run out of Soul Power after about ten," Oscar replied.

"Hmm, that's enough. Your Soul Power will continue to increase, and you'll be able to produce even more food. Truly worthy of being Food-type Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power, it's extraordinary."

Zhao Wuji clapped his hands and looked at everyone, saying:

"Alright, now we need to help Chen Feng find Soul Beast. He needs a Lightning Attribute Soul Beast, so Tang San will be in charge of scouting. Let's continue."

"Yes!" everyone responded in unison.

Chen Feng then approached Oscar and asked him for a few Flying Mushroom, saying he wanted to try them.

Oscar didn't mind and conjured two mushrooms, handing them to him.

Before leaving, Oscar dug a hole and buried the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent to prevent it from being left to rot in the wilderness.

The Man Faced Demon Spider, however, was spared by the group.

Chen Feng had no particular interest in the External Soul Bone, the Eight Spider Lances, because the formation of those Eight Spider Lances was caused by a variety of factors; it was a chance event rather than an inevitable occurrence.

With the timeline altered, even if the events of the Original Work story were reenacted, the legendary Eight Spider Lances might not appear.

If someone can absorb the Soul Ring of the Man Faced Demon Spider, then Chen Feng would indeed like to try and see if he can obtain the Eight Spider Lances.

Unfortunately, only Chen Feng and Oscar were able to obtain Soul Ring among those present.

Chen Feng needs Lightning Attribute Soul Ring, while Oscar, as a Food System Soul Master, absolutely cannot use Poison Attribute Soul Ring.

Thus, the Man Faced Demon Spider was fortunate enough to escape with its life.

But Chen Feng didn't feel regretful. Soul Bone were something that could be obtained by chance. He hadn't transmigrated to some kind of Long Aotian fanfiction world; there was no way he could find Soul Bone just by walking a few steps.

Rather than focusing on the Void Soul Bone, it's more practical to understand the Soul Ring first.

The group searched for a while longer, but their luck wasn't too good, and they didn't find any suitable Soul Beast.

It was already getting dark, and it wouldn't be wise to move around in the Star Dou Great Forest after nightfall, so Zhao Wuji decided to have everyone set up camp on the spot and rest for the night before continuing their search.

Just then, Xiao Wu's ears twitched slightly, her eyes widened, and her expression changed.

Almost at the same time, Tang San also tensed up and shouted:

"Watch out! A large Soul Beast is approaching!"

At this moment, Zhao Wuji's expression was extremely cold and stern. He strode to the front of the group, and his Great Vajra Bear Martial Soul instantly possessed him, staring intently at the dense forest in front of him.

A bizarre scene unfolded. In the direction Zhao Wuji was looking, two tall trees suddenly and slowly parted to the sides, and a huge figure silently emerged from them.

Upon seeing this enormous creature, everyone held their breath.

This is a black gorilla as tall as a mountain. Even when it is on all fours, it is over seven meters tall. If it were standing upright, it would probably be over fifteen meters tall.

This is the Titan Giant Ape, the Forest King and the dominant creature of the Star Dou Great Forest in the current era.

Faced with such a terrifying creature, everyone fell silent in fear.

At this moment, Xiao Wu, whether out of fear or something else, subconsciously activated her Flash Soul Skill.

And the direction she Flash in was actually towards the Titan Giant Ape.

Such a sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard.

But the Titan Giant Ape reacted quickly. It scooped Xiao Wu up in its hand, then leaped into the air and disappeared in a single bound.

"Xiao Wu!" Tang San cried out and tried to chase after her, but Chen Feng grabbed him.

"Xiao Feng, Xiao Wu has been captured! Don't stop me!" Tang San turned around and roared.

"Stay calm, being impatient won't solve anything." Chen Feng said, opening his palm to Tang San, where two Flying Mushroom lay quietly.

Tang San's eyes widened, his emotions quickly cooling down. He and Chen Feng exchanged a glance and fell silent.

Because Chen Feng's body was blocking the view, the others didn't see what Chen Feng was holding and assumed that Tang San had been persuaded by Chen Feng, so they all offered words of comfort.

Zhao Wuji, his face ashen, cursed:

"Damn it! I told that little girl a long time ago, don't use Flash to jump in someone's face, don't use Flash to jump in someone's face! This little girl completely ignored me! Now look what happened, she jumped right into the Titan Giant Ape's face!"

Tang San pursed his lips and remained silent. Of course, he knew about Xiao Wu's problem, but he used to think it wasn't a big deal and just went along with Xiao Wu's habits.

But now, such a small problem has put Xiao Wu in a life-or-death crisis, which fills Tang San with regret and self-blame.

He secretly made up his mind that if he could find Xiao Wu alive this time, he would do whatever it took to correct her bad habit.

Zhao Wuji sighed and sat down on a tree root nearby. In his heart, he had already sentenced Xiao Wu to death. Once she fell into the hands of the Titan Giant Ape, even if that little girl had ten lives, she wouldn't be able to survive.

At this moment, Chen Feng looked at Ning Rongrong and said:

"Rongrong, do us a favor."

"What kind of help?" Ning Rongrong had a bad feeling.

"Give us a speed boost." Chen Feng covered his mouth with his hand, and Tang San next to him did the same.

Upon seeing this scene, Oscar seemed to remember something, his eyes widening as he exclaimed:

"Hey, you guys aren't thinking of...?"

Before the words were even finished, Chen Feng and Tang San took to the air.

Ning Rongrong immediately cried out in alarm, "Xiao Feng, don't go!"

"Help us," Chen Feng said, looking at her.

Tears welled up in Ning Rongrong's eyes. She summoned the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and said in a choked voice:

" Of the Seven Treasures Have Names, the second is: Speed."

Two beams of colorful light entered Chen Feng and Tang San's bodies, and their figures rapidly disappeared from everyone's sight. Zhao Wuji couldn't stop them even if he tried.

Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward and grabbed Ning Rongrong by the collar, demanding in a stern voice:

Do you know what you're doing? You're sending them to their deaths!

"If I don't help them, won't they go too?" Ning Rongrong looked at her with red eyes. "Besides, you're wrong. I'm not helping them die. I'll go with them."

She turned to look at Oscar and said:

"For our sake as classmates, I'm begging you, please give me one of those mushrooms."

Zhu Zhuqing slowly released her grip, paused for a moment, and said to Oscar:

Please give me one too.

"Give me your ass!" Zhao Wuji walked over and glared at Ning Rongrong. "I'm so angry I could die! You're all doing stupid things that are just asking for trouble! Oscar, give me your mushroom!"

"Huh?" Oscar was stunned.

"What?! I'm going to do something stupid and court death too!" Zhao Wuji glanced at the others. "Everyone else, get out of the Star Dou Great Forest right now, or I'll break your legs when we get back!"

"Even if we have to break his leg, we'll have to wait until we get back," Dai Mubai said, walking up to Oscar. "Right now, I need to do something stupid."

Ma Hongjun chuckled and walked over to Oscar. "You guys always say I'm stupid, so it's not surprising that I do something stupid, is it?"

"And me, I'm going to go and rescue Bro Feng," Bai Chenxiang added, stepping forward.

"Damn it, if that's how it is, then let's die together!" Zhao Wuji said through gritted teeth.

At this moment, Chen Feng and Tang San were flying through the forest at an extremely fast speed.

Tang San possesses the ability to communicate with plants, allowing him to track the location of the Titan Giant Ape through them.

Although the Titan Giant Ape is the overlord of the Star Dou Great Forest, ordinary plants don't care about its dominance. They don't have enough intelligence, only the instincts of plants.

Therefore, when Tang San, who was full of life force, asked them for information, they gave it to him without hesitation, showing their honesty and straightforwardness, without any fancy tricks.

Thus, the Titan Giant Ape's whereabouts were constantly relayed to Tang San by the plants, even as it changed its location repeatedly in the forest.

With such a large size, it would be impossible for it to escape the surveillance of plants in the forest.

The Titan Giant Ape didn't notice that someone was following behind it, even though if it wanted, any of the Soul Beast in the great forest could become its eyes.

But at this moment, its heart was filled with the joy of reuniting with Sister Xiao Wu, and it had no mind to care about anything else.

"We'll definitely find Xiao Wu, right, Xiao Feng?" Tang San suddenly said during the flight.

He seemed to be asking Chen Feng a question, but more than that, he was giving himself confidence.

Chen Feng didn't see anything wrong with that statement, nodded, and said:

"Yes, we will definitely find Xiao Wu."

He had previously thought that the Ape God wouldn't activate.

Unlike the Original Work, Xiao Wu has now learned the technique of concealing her presence.

If the Ape God knew Xiao Wu Xiao Wu's location by sensing her aura, then as long as Xiao Wu maintained this technique, the Ape God shouldn't have been able to know that she had returned to the Star Dou Great Forest.

However, Chen Feng was also worried that the Ape God might have other ways to find Xiao Wu's location, so just in case, he asked Oscar for two Flying Mushroom.

If the Ape God doesn't activate, then he'll obediently find the Soul Beast, complete the experiment, and leave.

But if the Ape God really comes, then Chen Feng will have to come up with a different plan.

Having contingency plans is a good habit.

The Flying Mushroom gave Chen Feng and Tang San a great speed, and with Ning Rongrong's added boost, Chen Feng suddenly felt like he was traveling at lightning speed.

However, their speed was still slower than that of the Titan Giant Ape. Fortunately, the two of them set off decisively, and Xiao Wu managed to stop the Titan Giant Ape in time, so the distance between them was constantly closing.

As Chen Feng and his companion flew at high speed with a clear goal in mind, Xiao Wu's unique senses grew stronger and stronger.

Soon, the massive body of the Titan Giant Ape came into view of Chen Feng and his companion.

At this moment, Xiao Wu was sitting on the Titan Giant Ape's shoulder, seemingly talking to it.

This scene greatly surprised Tang San, leaving him completely dumbfounded.
