Hunting the Titan Giant Ape

Once Tang Chen had made up his mind, he immediately put his plan into action.

The Carriage picked up speed and headed toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

Tang Chen did not stop along the way. He could visit those villages after obtaining a Soul Ring, but a Ferocious Beast's Soul Ring was a chance he might never see again.

Even with several people slowing him down, Tang Chen reached the Star Dou Great Forest in just one day.
