The Titan Giant Ape Makes a Move, Tang San Is About to Explode Again

The silent night was no longer silent.

In the forest, the Titan Giant Ape, holding Xiao Wu in its palm, ran at full speed. Tang San pursued from behind, but the Flying Mushroom Sausage's effect had worn off. He could only shuttle and leap between tree trunks using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track...

"Er Ming, don't go any further in, let's stop here."

Xiao Wu noticed that Tang San had disappeared behind her and said to Er Ming with a worried expression.

Er Ming stopped. It realized that with its speed as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, it could reach the Lake of Life if it ran a little longer...

Er Ming carefully placed Xiao Wu on the ground and said gently.

"Sister Xiao Wu, are you doing well in the human world?"

"My brother and I missed you a lot at the Lake of Life."

Xiao Wu smiled.

"I'm doing very well, and I miss you both very much."

"But many human Soul Masters have come with me this time, and I can't stay away for too long for now."

Upon hearing this, Er Ming's voice rose a few decibels, and its emotions carried a hint of resistance.

"Was that the human from behind just now? Do you want me to deal with him?"

"This way, I can stay with Sister Xiao Wu for longer."

"Uh~ It's not necessary..." Xiao Wu's expression was a little awkward, and she quickly explained, "Don't attack everyone you see. Those human Soul Masters are some of my few friends in the human world."

"Since I chose to transform, I can't avoid interacting with humans. Don't be too hostile towards them."

After listening to Xiao Wu, Er Ming scratched its head, looking as if it understood but didn't.

Xiao Wu knew that Er Ming, who had lived in the Lake of Life for a long time, definitely didn't understand the relationship between her and Tang San. But it didn't matter, as everyone wouldn't be able to come to the Star Dou Forest many times anyway.

Xiao Wu changed the subject, "Since we're already out, you can guard me first. I'll take advantage of this time to condense my third spirit ring."

Er Ming understood this and immediately agreed, "Okay!"

Xiao Wu sat down cross-legged on the ground, preparing to mobilize the energy within her body to condense the spirit ring herself. But just as she was about to enter the state, she seemed to remember something...

"Right!"

"Ask your subordinates if any of them are willing to sacrifice themselves... uh~ it's not really a sacrifice, is it? Just, are there any fire-attribute soul beasts that don't want to live anymore, with cultivation around a thousand years? I have a friend who needs such a spirit ring."

A moment of silence followed this statement.

Xiao Wu realized that what she had said seemed a bit unreasonable, while Er Ming's mind took a long time to catch up.

Fire-attribute soul beasts that didn't want to live? To become a spirit ring for a friend? Should these words come from a soul beast?

Soul Masters and soul beasts had been irreconcilable since ancient times. Now, their Sister Xiao Wu was asking for help to obtain spirit rings for humans. Was this also part of entering the human world?

Seeing Er Ming's confused and somewhat angry expression, Xiao Wu was about to explain, but Er Ming spoke first.

"I'll ask."

There was no other way, who told her to be her Sister Xiao Wu? As for a few thousand-year-old soul beasts, she didn't know how many she had stepped on during the journey while carrying Xiao Wu.

Er Ming comforted itself. Looking at Xiao Wu's pretty face again, all negative emotions were gone...

Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief and then began to concentrate on condensing her spirit ring.

In the open space, Er Ming looked at Xiao Wu's current human form, its gaze becoming increasingly gentle.

Towards Xiao Wu, Er Ming harbored not just a debt of gratitude for saving its life, but also saw her as its goddess, a being not to be desecrated.

Even Da Ming probably felt the same way. Otherwise, in this cruel forest of the survival of the fittest, how could their relationship be so strong...

"Sister Xiao Wu is truly beautiful," Er Ming murmured in its heart, recalling the time they spent together at the Lake of Life.

But soon, it realized the current problem.

"No, Sister Xiao Wu absolutely cannot be deceived by those human Soul Masters. They're already asking thousand-year-old soul beasts to sacrifice themselves willingly. If she stays with that person for a few more years, then my brother and I..."

Realizing this, Er Ming felt a sense of dread for its own thoughts. But soon, a look of determination flashed across its face.

"How dare these mere humans bewitch Sister Xiao Wu!"

It unleashed its aura as the overlord of the forest, gathering all the nearby soul beasts.

Before long, dozens of powerful auras appeared around. Glancing around, it called over a Hellfire Hyena.

"You want a fire-attribute spirit ring? Then I'll give you one..."

Meanwhile.

"Damn it, why is this beast so difficult to deal with!"

"Get lost quickly, I need to save Xiao Wu!"

Lin Yan squatted on a tree trunk. Seeing Tang San, who had been fighting for a long time below, about to explode with power again and deliver a fatal blow to the Man Faced Demon Spider with his Clear Sky Hammer, he suddenly descended from the sky.

[First Spirit Skill: Fire Fist!]

His fist, wrapped in purple flames, directly slammed into the Man Faced Demon Spider's back. The immense force pinned its eight spider legs to the ground, temporarily incapacitating it.

"Lin Yan?"

Tang San raised his eyes, his expression stunned, and hurriedly tucked the Clear Sky Hammer back into his body without a sound.

Lin Yan did not seem to mind this, instead feigning a look of anxious urgency as he shouted at Tang San.

"There's no time to explain, go after Xiao Wu quickly!"

"Leave this place to me!"

At the mention of Xiao Wu, Tang San's body tensed; he no longer had the heart to investigate how Lin Yan had arrived here or how he still possessed combat strength.

He opened his mouth.

"Lin Yan! I'm sorry... thank you!"

After spitting out those few words, Tang San no longer hesitated in the slightest, turning and sprinting into the jungle.

"Tang San! You must bring Xiao Wu back!"

Lin Yan shouted toward the direction where he had disappeared, not caring whether the other could hear him, though in all likelihood, he probably could.

After about ten seconds or so, he let out a slight breath.

"Whew~"

"Finally gone!"

Recalling Tang San's "I'm sorry" and "thank you" from just a moment ago...

Lin Yan couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing; things were looking up, to think he could actually make the Tang Buddha owe him a favor.

However, the saying "a drop of water in need shall be returned with a spring" was not without basis; he wondered what kind of attitude Tang San would adopt toward him after returning to the academy this time.

Curling the corners of his mouth, Lin Yan turned his gaze toward the dying Man Faced Demon Spider at his feet.

[Second Soul Skill: Blazing Flame Shot!]

[Third Soul Skill: Flame Ring Blast!]

The two soul skills followed one after the other, directly strangling the Man Faced Demon Spider, which no longer had the ability to resist.

Immediately following, a purple thousand-year soul ring slowly emerged, and Lin Yan began to rummage through its corpse; before long, his flame-enveloped hands suddenly touched something unusual.

He yanked it out violently, and a spider leg soul bone, curled into the shape of a shield, was revealed.

"External Soul Bone, acquired!"

"Tang San, oh Tang San, without the Eight Spider Lances and without the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, I wonder how far you'll be able to go in the future..."
