The Titan Giant Ape Appears

Oscar walked over holding a Sausage. "Zi Long, have a Sausage."

Zhao Zilong took the Sausage and tossed it to Meng Yiran. "Catch."

Meng Yiran caught the Sausage and looked at Zhao Zilong. Zhao Zilong explained, "Eat it. Oscar's Sausages can quickly restore Soul Power and heal injuries."

"Thank you." Meng Yiran thanked him, then ate it.

Snake Grandma sighed as she watched them. "That Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent is yours. Let's go, Yiran."

"Mm." Meng Yiran stood up, looking somewhat dejected.

Zhao Zilong then had Oscar make him a Sausage as well. Oscar immediately recited the incantation, "I, your father, have a big Sausage," and produced a Sausage in his hand.

But Meng Yiran had not gone very far when she saw how Oscar made the Sausages, along with that disgusting incantation. Her stomach immediately churned, and she began dry-heaving as she glared at Oscar and Zhao Zilong in embarrassment and anger. "Damn it, you did that on purpose, didn't you? You actually made me eat something like that."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Food-type Soul Masters are in high demand. Why are you looking down on them like this?" Zhao Zilong said speechlessly, then took a bite of the Sausage Oscar had made.

Snake Grandma shook her head helplessly. "Let's go."

After Snake Grandma and Meng Yiran left, Oscar immediately killed the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent and began absorbing its soul ring. The others stood guard for him. Half an hour later, Oscar finally finished absorbing the soul ring and became a three-ringed Soul Elder.

Ma Hongjun ran over and asked, "Xiao Ao, what's your third soul skill?"

Oscar glanced at Ning Rongrong in the distance and blushed slightly. "Forget it. I'll tell you when we get back."

"What's there to be embarrassed about? We're all friends here. Are you afraid we'll laugh at you?" Dai Mubai walked over and punched Oscar lightly.

Oscar looked awkward. "Fine. I'll demonstrate it for you."

Everyone turned to look at Oscar. He began reciting the incantation, "Mind Wandering Mushroom Sausage."

He produced a Sausage with tiny wings, prompting everyone to burst into laughter. Oscar's face reddened at once, and he cried, "You said you wouldn't laugh!"

Dai Mubai laughed. "We're not. It's just that your incantations are as weird as ever."

Zhao Zilong stepped forward. "More importantly, let's see what the skill can do. With such a pathetic name, I hope the effect isn't too bad."

Oscar looked like he was about to cry. "Is the name really that terrible? Whatever. Let me show you what this soul skill can do." As he spoke, Oscar ate the Sausage. Soon, a pair of Soul Power wings grew from his back, and he flew into the air.

Zhao Wuji nodded. "The ability to fly? How long does it last?"

"One minute."

"One minute? That's way too short." Ma Hongjun looked disdainful.

A smile curled across Oscar's lips. "What if I can fly at the speed of a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent for that one minute?"

"What?"

Zhao Zilong immediately said, "Xiao Ao, give me one of your Mushroom Sausages."

"What, you want to try it too? Sure, wait..." Oscar walked over to Zhao Zilong and began the incantation. "Mind Wandering Mushroom Sausage."

However, just as Oscar handed the Mushroom Sausage to Zhao Zilong, the ground suddenly shook. A powerful Spirit Pressure came from the distance, and Zhao Wuji immediately became alert. He directly used Martial Soul Possession. "Everyone, be careful."

Even without Zhao Wuji's warning, everyone could feel the oppressive force of that Soul Power. As the ground shook, the pressure grew stronger and stronger. More than ten seconds later, a massive soul beast appeared before them. It was none other than the king of the forest—the Titan Giant Ape. Its black body was covered in dark golden demonic patterns, and it radiated savage power. Its pressure was overwhelming, and the intense suffocating sensation left everyone unable to move.

Zhao Wuji immediately backed down. "Honored King of the Forest, we mean no offense. If this is your territory, we'll leave at once." Zhao Wuji was not worried that the Titan Giant Ape would fail to understand him. A soul beast of this level possessed intelligence no less than that of a human.

Seeing the Titan Giant Ape appear, Zhao Zilong was extremely excited. It finally came. As long as I follow Tang San, I can find that Man Faced Demon Spider. But it's a thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider. Tang San can kill it, but can I handle it myself?

At that moment, the Titan Giant Ape let out a furious roar. A shockwave forced many of them back, and then its enormous fist slammed into the ground. A violent gale erupted, blasting everyone into the air.

Seeing that negotiation was impossible, Zhao Wuji immediately used Martial Soul Avatar and shouted, "Run! I'll hold it back!"

The others launched attacks at the Titan Giant Ape as well, but against its tough hide and thick flesh, those attacks were little more than a drizzle. With one slap, it sent the strongest among them, Zhao Wuji, flying. With another punch, it shattered the ground and left everyone dizzy and disoriented. Then, amid the chaos, it seized Xiao Wu and took her away.

"Ugh, that hurts like hell." Half a minute later, Zhao Zilong got back on his feet and looked at the others. "Is everyone okay?"

Zhao Wuji sighed helplessly. "I never expected the Titan Giant Ape to appear on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest. I'm sorry. I failed to stop it."

Ma Hongjun defended him. "How can you blame yourself? That was the Titan Giant Ape—the king of the Star Dou Great Forest."

Tang San walked over to Oscar. "Xiao Ao, give me one of your Mushroom Sausages."

"Xiao San, you can't be... Don't do anything stupid!" Oscar immediately said upon hearing this.

Tang San's eyes reddened slightly. "If I don't go, I'll regret it for the rest of my life. Please, Xiao Ao."

Hearing Tang San's words, Oscar sighed and said, "All right. Mind Wandering Mushroom Sausage."

Tang San grabbed the Mushroom Sausage, swallowed it in one bite, then turned and flew away.

"Tang San, where are you going?" Zhao Wuji shouted.

Seeing this, Zhao Zilong immediately ate the Mushroom Sausage he had just received from Oscar. "I'm going after him." Then he closely followed behind Tang San.

Seeing Zhao Zilong chase after him as well, Zhao Wuji immediately cursed, "Zhao Zilong, get back here!"

As he watched the two of them fly farther and farther away, he cursed inwardly even more. Two two-ring Soul Masters running into the Star Dou Great Forest—weren't they courting death? Any random thousand-year soul beast in there could kill them.
