On the battlefield, the Titan Giant Ape took one step to Xiao Wu's side. With a gentle scoop of its enormous palm, it grasped her petite figure in its hand.
Zhao Wuji charged at the Titan Giant Ape again.
But the Titan Giant Ape casually swatted him away with another slap.
Poor Zhao Wuji. Ever since Tang San arrived, what else had he yet to suffer through?!
"Xiao Wu!!!"
When Tang San saw Xiao Wu being taken by the Titan Giant Ape, his eyes nearly split with rage.
His eyes turned completely purple as Purple Demon Eyes activated! Throwing caution to the wind, his hands frantically swept over the Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night at his waist. Countless hidden weapons poured forth, shooting toward the Titan Giant Ape!
"Clink, clink, clink, clink, clink!"
However, when those hidden weapons struck the Titan Giant Ape, they were no more than an itch. They could not even pierce its skin.
Xiao Wu whispered something to the Titan Giant Ape from its palm. Ignoring Tang San, who continued firing hidden weapons at it, the Titan Giant Ape let out an earth-shaking roar in Dai Mubai's direction!
"ROAR!!!"
The roar carried Soul Power and slammed fiercely into Dai Mubai and the others, leaving them dizzy and disoriented, their organs churning inside them.
Dai Mubai grunted, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. Yet he firmly shielded Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong beneath him, taking the entire impact on his back!
Ma Hongjun and Oscar were not so fortunate.
Already enduring the terrifying gravitational pressure, they were struck by the shockwave as well. They immediately rolled about on the ground in agony, blood streaming from their noses and mouths, their faces deathly pale.
Dai Mubai cursed inwardly, That Xiao Wu did it on purpose! Was it really necessary to hold such a grudge just because I mentioned eating rabbits yesterday?!
The Titan Giant Ape seemed satisfied. Its gigantic body leaped into the air, and after several bounds, it vanished into the depths of the forest with Xiao Wu, leaving only a ruined campsite behind.
The gravity field dissipated, and the forest returned to calm.
Dai Mubai let out a long breath and slowly pushed himself up, releasing Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong from beneath him.
"How are you two? Are you hurt?"
His voice was somewhat hoarse, and a trace of blood still hung at the corner of his mouth.
"You blocked the entire shockwave for us. We're fine, but how are you?"
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong stared at him blankly, their beautiful eyes filled with concern and gratitude.
Dai Mubai smiled and casually wiped away the blood. "I'm fine too. I can handle this much pressure."
He turned to check on Ma Hongjun and Oscar. Blood stained the corners of their mouths, and their faces were pale. They had clearly suffered serious internal injuries, but their lives were not in danger.
Tang San was currently kneeling on one knee, gasping for breath, his eyes bloodshot.
His reckless attack on the Titan Giant Ape had consumed a great deal of Soul Power.
Although the Titan Giant Ape had not roared directly at him, Tang San had still been caught in the aftermath and suffered some injuries.
After looking over everyone and confirming that none of them were in mortal danger, Dai Mubai said, "Recover as quickly as possible. I'll go after that Titan Giant Ape and see if I can save Xiao Wu."
The moment he said that, everyone was shocked.
"Boss Dai! Are you crazy?!" Ma Hongjun cried out.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!" Dai Mubai waved his hand, his tone leaving no room for argument.
Of course, he was not really going to save Xiao Wu.
What Dai Mubai truly cared about was the Man Faced Demon Spider Tang San encountered during the pursuit in the original story, as well as the Eight Spider Lances External Soul Bone it produced!
This time, he would be faster than Tang San!
Before anyone could try to stop him again, Dai Mubai took out a spare Swift Flight Sausage and swallowed it.
A pair of Thunder Wings unfurled behind his back! With a beat of his wings, Dai Mubai sped off in the direction the Titan Giant Ape had gone.
"Mubai!" Zhu Zhuqing could not help calling out, but Dai Mubai had already vanished without a trace.
Oscar hurriedly made several Super Recovery Sausages and handed them out. "Quick, recover!"
After Tang San ate the sausage, his complexion improved slightly, and a resolute glint flashed through his eyes.
He quietly moved to Oscar's side and lowered his voice. "Oscar, give me another Swift Flight Sausage."
"Huh? You're going too?" Oscar froze.
"Xiao Wu is my sister. I have to go." Tang San was unwavering.
Oscar hesitated for a moment, but still handed him a Flight Sausage.
Tang San swallowed it. Thunder Wings unfolded behind him, and with a flash, he chased after Dai Mubai.
When Zhao Wuji saw Tang San chasing after them as well, he was immediately alarmed.
"Damn it! Dai Mubai going after them was bad enough, but now Tang San's gone too?! If anything happens to them, won't I be beaten into meat paste?!"
He shouted, "Quick! Head in their direction and find them! Everyone, follow me!"
Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest.
Dai Mubai moved through the dense woods. He did not push his speed to the limit, instead deliberately controlling his pace and keenly catching every movement around him.
The traces left behind by the Titan Giant Ape's massive body were far too obvious. Dai Mubai followed those tracks all the way.
Before long, a gigantic spider blocked his path.
It was a pitch-black spider over three meters tall, its eight long legs like eight sharp spears.
Most horrifying of all, a bizarre human face grew from its abdomen. Its features were twisted, making one's skin crawl.
Judging by its size and the length of its legs, it was clearly more than two thousand years old!
"It's you."
Excitement surged in Dai Mubai's heart, and his pupils narrowed slightly.
This was the very Man Faced Demon Spider that had produced the Eight Spider Lances External Soul Bone.
The White Tiger Darkgold Transformation enhancement within him was still active. Now that he had found his target, he had to end this quickly and decisively. He could not leave anyone an opening!
"Fourth soul skill, White Tiger Vajra Break!"
Dai Mubai held nothing back. The fourth Soul Ring beneath his feet suddenly flared, and all the Soul Power in his body surged madly into his right fist!
BOOM!!!
Dai Mubai burst forward, lunging straight at the Man Faced Demon Spider!
The Man Faced Demon Spider raised its two front legs to block.
How could a mere thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider possibly withstand, in such haste, White Tiger Vajra Break's triple attack power combined with White Tiger Darkgold Transformation's two-hundred-percent increase in attack power?
Crack!
A crisp, piercing sound of breaking bones rang out!
The Man Faced Demon Spider's two front legs were instantly shattered by that punch. Its hard black carapace cracked and flew apart. Its massive body was sent flying into a giant tree, exposing its vulnerable abdomen!
"Eeeek!"
The Man Faced Demon Spider let out an incomparably shrill cry. Its remaining six long legs flailed wildly as it tried to stand.
But Dai Mubai gave it no chance!
He opened his jaws wide as his second Soul Ring lit up. "Second soul skill, White Tiger Fierce Light Wave!"
However, just as he was about to fire the beam, an urgent shout came from the woods behind him. "Boss Dai, wait!"
Dai Mubai recognized Tang San's voice. He was clearly rushing over at high speed.
But Dai Mubai pretended not to hear him.
Boom!
A blazing platinum beam erupted from his mouth, striking the Man Faced Demon Spider squarely in the abdomen!
The beam pierced through the Man Faced Demon Spider's abdomen and pinned it firmly to the tree, sending dark green fluid splattering in every direction.
The Man Faced Demon Spider's shriek stopped abruptly. Its legs twitched a few times before going completely limp, never to move again.
A deep purple Soul Ring slowly rose from its corpse.
Only then did Dai Mubai turn around and look at the newcomer.
Tang San rushed out from the shadows of the trees. Looking at the Man Faced Demon Spider on the ground, already dead beyond doubt, a flicker of disappointment and reluctance flashed through his eyes.
Feigning surprise, Dai Mubai asked, "Oh, it's you, Tang San. What is it?"
