They reached the forest’s core zone and, after resting overnight, heard something large approaching at dawn.

• Gu Rong and Chen Xin told Ning Fengzhi that Tang Hao had escaped after using Ring Detonation, though Chen Xin had cut off his left arm and taken his Thirty Thousand Year Titan Giant Ape Soul Bone.

• Sword Douluo agreed to help if Jiang Yi's Mass Mental Confusion could affect the baboons, and Jiang Yi focused his Spiritual Power into his eyes as the baboons roared at them.

Jiang Yi used Mass Mental Confusion to escape the Blood Red Baboons with Qian Renxue and She Long, then left the Star Dou Forest with Sword Douluo and absorbed the Silver Shadow Beast’s Soul Ring.
