The Arrival of the Titan Giant Ape, Tang San Flees Without Hesitation

Seeing this massive creature, everyone instantly understood why Zhao Wuji had reacted the way he did just moments ago.

It was like a moving mountain, covered from head to toe in pitch-black fur. Even though it was on all fours, its body still exceeded seven meters in height; if it were to stand upright, its stature would likely double.

It looked like a colossal gorilla, with two eyes that resembled massive lanterns.

The breath exhaled from its nostrils sent a gust of wind rushing toward the group.

"The King of the Forest!"

"The Titan Giant Ape!"

Zhao Wuji's heart sank. How could this creature appear on the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Forest?

"Respected King of the Forest, we mean no offense. We will withdraw from this place immediately."

He spoke respectfully toward the Titan Giant Ape.

The Titan Giant Ape didn't even glance at Zhao Wuji, merely taking a slow step forward, but that single step caused everyone to panic instantly.

"I'll hold him off!"

"All of you, use Oscar's Mushroom Sausage and get out of here!"

Zhao Wuji's Spirit Rings erupted with a powerful glow, and he combined several skills to charge rapidly toward the Titan Giant Ape.

"Ye Lin, cover the others as they leave!"

"I'm going to help Teacher Zhao!"

Dai Mubai activated three spirit skills simultaneously and followed, charging toward the Titan Giant Ape.

"Tang San, take everyone and go."

Ye Lin said to Tang San, holding her Immortal Sword as she stepped forward quickly.

She had nothing to fear; no one would die here, and injuries would be minimal, after all, Xiao Wu would communicate with the Titan Giant Ape.

"Alright!"

"I'll take everyone away!"

Tang San agreed without hesitation.

"Everyone, follow me and retreat quickly!"

He kept Yu Xiaogang's teachings in mind: if you have many spirits and bones, fight with all your might; if you have few spirits and bones, turn tail and run!

This was clearly the second scenario.

Tang San stepped into his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and sprinted backward, disappearing from sight after a few leaps.

Ye Lin was stunned to see Tang San actually run away.

Tang San really ran!

She had originally intended to modify the plot, but now Tang San had fled without her even needing to intervene?

[Ding, plot modification complete. Tang San escaped the Titan Giant Ape's attack. Reward: The speed of Tang San's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track when used at full power for one ring.]

The system's voice rang out, leaving her completely bewildered. She hadn't done anything, yet the plot had been modified?

Ye Lin felt her body lighten almost instantly.

It had to be said that Tang San's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track had its merits, though it usually consumed a fair amount of one's own energy.

However, what she received was a pure speed boost, integrated into her physical body; not only did it not consume energy, but it also provided an enhancement.

"San Gui!"

"You actually ran!"

Ma Hongjun was completely dumbfounded.

He said viciously, "You bastard San Gui, if I survive this, I'm going to skin you alive!"

Ma Hongjun quickly completed his Martial Soul Avatar, his first Spirit Ring flashed, and a Phoenix Fire Line surged toward the Titan Giant Ape, specifically targeting its most vulnerable spots.

A lecherous man, his attack style was no better.

The others weren't idle either.

Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda cast its support effects onto Zhao Wuji, Ye Lin, and Dai Mubai.

These were the three strongest people present, capable of receiving the highest level of support.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing moved forward from the flanks, while Oscar continuously used his third spirit skill to summon Flying Mushroom Sausages to aid their escape.

Zhao Wuji's immense power slammed into the Titan Giant Ape. The Titan Giant Ape was caught off guard and had underestimated Zhao Wuji, causing its massive frame to tilt backward slightly.

But the next second, Zhao Wuji was sent flying back like a cannonball.

"Roar!"

The Titan Giant Ape let out a fierce howl, and a wave of black energy rapidly rippled outward in all directions.

When the black shockwave hit them, everyone was sent flying backward.

He reached out with his right hand and caught Xiao Wu just as she was being sent flying by the shockwave.

"Xiao Wu!"

Ye Lin let out a hoarse roar, her first Spirit Ring flashing. A massive dragon's roar echoed through the air, and a phantom dragon head, stretching over two meters in length, manifested.

A blade of energy slashed directly toward the lower limbs of the Titan Giant Ape.

"Swish!"

The blade passed through, leaving only a few strands of black fur drifting in the air; it hadn't managed to harm the Titan Giant Ape in the slightest.

Seeing the Titan Giant Ape clutching Xiao Wu in its palm, Zhao Wuji's heart sank. His seventh Spirit Ring flashed.

A violent black light exploded from his body.

Zhao Wuji transformed directly into a five-meter-tall, brownish-yellow giant bear.

Spirit Avatar, Vajra Bear!

The Vajra Bear leaped fiercely, jumping straight toward the Titan Giant Ape.

Having unleashed his Spirit Avatar, Zhao Wuji finally caught the attention of the Titan Giant Ape, which raised its left arm and swatted the Vajra Bear away, sending it crashing heavily to the ground.

Spirit Avatar.

Looking at the Titan Giant Ape, it seemed as relaxed and at ease as if it had just swatted away a mosquito.

"Xiao Wu!"

"No!"

Ye Lin shouted at the top of her lungs.

The Titan Giant Ape glanced at the Xiao Wu in its hand and let out a low growl.

With a single leap toward the depths of the Star Dou Forest, its entire figure appeared a hundred meters away, vanishing into the forest and disappearing from sight.

Zhao Wuji scrambled to his feet and lunged in pursuit of the Titan Giant Ape, but the gap in speed between them was too vast. Even if he caught up, they were no match for it; the two sides were simply not in the same weight class.

The others were in a bad way as well.

The impact of the black shockwave alone had caused them significant injury.

They were all covered in dust and grime, especially Ning Rongrong. Her constitution was naturally weak, and even though Oscar had shielded her, she had still fainted.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ma Hongjun were also extremely weak, sitting on the ground.

Only Dai Mubai and Ye Lin remained standing.

Zhao Wuji slammed his right hand into the ground in anger, and a mouthful of blood sprayed from his lips.

He looked slowly toward Ye Lin.

"Ye Lin, please accept your grief."

Ye Lin appeared very calm, and her heart was equally steady. Knowing the plot, she naturally understood that Xiao Wu would be fine.

"Xiao Wu will be fine."

"Sigh," Zhao Wuji let out a long breath. "Let's rest here for now. The Titan Giant Ape won't be coming back. We can discuss our next steps later."

"Everyone is okay, that's really great..."

A voice rang out from behind the group.

Except for the unconscious Ning Rongrong, everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice at the same time.

They saw Tang San slowly poking his head out from behind a tree.

"It's good that you're okay too. You did well just now; you knew when to run for your life."

Zhao Wuji tossed out that single sentence and said no more, taking a Recovery Sausage from Oscar's hand to eat.

A voice filled with cursing and swearing rang out.

"San Gui!"

"You actually dare to come back!"

"I'm going to skin you alive today!"
