A ten-thousand-year cave demon spider? Gangzi: "Watch me conjure a living bamboo!"
Just as he was about to give Tang San a verbal lecture, Dai Mubai's voice came over:
"Tang San is right. With Dean Flender and Teacher Zhao, we don't need to worry too much even if we encounter dangerous Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"
"Dean, I support exploring deeper areas!"
Hearing Dai Mubai speak, Oscar and Ma Hongjun hesitated for a moment, then, realizing that lingering here wasn't a good idea, they said in unison:
"We'll support them too!"
Hearing his companions' support, Tang San's hardened heart softened for a moment before returning to normal.
It was all for naught!
Seeing that everyone agreed to go deeper into the area, Flender and Zhao Wuji exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.
"Little San, Mubai is right, we can't waste any more time!"
Seeing that everyone was united against the enemy, Gangzi didn't know what else to say, so he nodded in agreement.
And so, after reaching a consensus, Shrek set off into the depths.
Several more days passed, and the Shrek group had almost blended into the depths of the mixed zone, but they still hadn't encountered a single Thousand-Year Soul Beast suitable for Tang San.
This infuriated Tang San so much that his face turned black!
He was somewhat desperate and questioned the meaning of life. How could his luck have taken such a turn after meeting the Bearded Man, with everything going wrong?
How could my luck be so bad?
"Damn Bearded Man, it seems you're my nightmare. If I don't get rid of you, I'll never have peace again!"
Tang San's eyes were bloodshot, and he was panting heavily, wishing he could Bearded Man to pieces on the spot.
"Everyone, let's take a rest!"
Flender's face was also extremely grim; more than ten days had passed, and they hadn't found a single suitable Soul Beast.
Either their age was too young or too old; the fighting and traveling along the way had left them mentally and physically exhausted!
Just as everyone was preparing to find an open area to set up camp and rest, a rustling sound suddenly came from ahead.
"Watch out, something's up!"
Zhao Wuji roared and immediately blocked everyone behind him, issuing a warning.
Upon hearing his voice, everyone's hearts tightened once more, and their gazes all turned to the bushes ahead.
Suddenly, a clump of yellow spider web sprayed out from the bushes in front of them, heading straight for them.
Zhao Wuji's eyes narrowed, and he immediately Martial Soul Possession, releasing a wave of energy that shattered the large yellow net.
At the same time, a huge black spider slowly emerged from the bushes.
The moment Tang San saw him, his eyes lit up with wild joy.
every dog has his day.
It turned out to be Cave Demon Spider, a perfect Soul Beast for me.
"Dean, Teacher Zhao, it's Cave Demon Spider! I want it as my Fourth Soul Ring!"
Tang San pointed at the Cave Demon Spider and shouted loudly.
"Are you crazy? That's a Cave Demon Spider with ten thousand years of cultivation! If you absorb it, you'll explode and die!"
Flender exclaimed in shock and anger, his face turning extremely ugly.
Gangzi also chimed in, reminding her, "Little San, don't be so overambitious. Just focus on hunting a Thousand-Year Soul Beast. A Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring would be too much of a burden for you!"
"Dean, teacher, please believe me, I have two Soul Bone, my physical abilities are definitely up to par!"
Tang San gritted his teeth; he had to give it a try.
Upon hearing his words, Zhao Wuji and Flender exchanged a glance, then made up their minds.
"Alright, let's kill this beast first and then figure things out!"
Flender eventually relented and then joined forces with Zhao Wuji to attack the Cave Demon Pearl.
The battle between the two men and the spider was extremely fierce, with both Flender and Zhao Wuji using their Martial Soul Avatar to fight.
The other Shrek members weren't idle either; they used their Soul Skill to assist in the battle. Of course, none of them allowed Gangzi to participate.
No other reason than that his farts were incredibly smelly!
Both Zhao Wuji and Flender are Soul Saint, so controlling a ten-thousand-year-old Cave Demon Pearl is quite easy for them.
The battle lasted less than fifteen minutes before it was completely over.
After the battle, the two of them worked together to carry the dying Cave Demon Pearl to Tang San, their expressions grave.
"Tang San, are you really sure you want to absorb this ten-thousand-year-old Cave Demon Pearl?"
"I'm sure."
Tang San nodded firmly and said.
Flender glanced at the Grandmaster, intending to ask him to persuade Tang San, but to his surprise, Gangzi also agreed with Tang San's idea.
He'd love for Tang San to absorb that Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring and explode, so why would he possibly stop him?
Moreover, he made two preparations.
If Tang San really absorbed the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring and didn't explode and die, then his backup plan would come in handy.
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, Tang San delivered the final blow to the Cave Demon Pearl, causing a ten- Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring to explode.
"I'm starting!"
Tang San took a deep breath, and after adjusting his state, he began to absorb the nutrients.
Seeing that Tang San had already begun absorbing the nutrients, Flender sighed softly and then instructed everyone to set up camp and rest on the spot.
As for Tang San, he entrusted him to Protector Gangzi.
Upon learning of Flender's arrangements, Gangzi was overjoyed; it was truly a stroke of luck!
"Tang San, Tang San, you just wait..."
"You'll have some delicious juice later!"
Gangzi cursed inwardly, "That ungrateful wretch! How could I have been so blind as to take him as my apprentice?"
Two hours later.
Seeing Tang San gradually absorbing the nutrients and stabilizing, Gangzi felt a sense of foreboding.
Oh dear, Tang San actually succeeded in absorbing it?
This won't do!
Gangzi took a deep breath, his expression turning serious. Luckily, he had made two preparations.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him, he took out a Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo from his Storage Soul Tool.
"Hehehe, Tang San Tang San, you still want to absorb the Ten-Thousand-Year Cave Demon Spider? Turn yourself into the Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo!"
Gangzi's lips curled up, and a wicked smile appeared on his face.
The next moment, he threw the Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo into Tang San, who was absorbing Soul Ring. With the help of the aftershocks, the Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo was also successfully killed.
A white Soul Ring slowly appeared. In an instant, Tang San seemed to sense it, his brows furrowing as he thought to himself:
"Strange, why has the energy absorption suddenly become so smooth? And why is this power no longer violent, but rather very gentle and compliant?"
This scene puzzled Tang San, who was absorbing the power with his eyes closed, but he didn't think much of it and continued to absorb it.
He didn't know the reason, but Gangzi saw it clearly.
He watched as the black, Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring was gradually replaced by the Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo, without uttering a sound to stop it, but instead just grinning crookedly.
He looked very excited.
"After absorbing Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is completely ruined."
"Once I've absorbed the full Martial Soul of his other martial soul into the Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo, let's see what he can use to fight me!"
Gangzi couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
This "Great Transformation of Living Bamboo" is a brilliant method that I, probably the only one in the entire Douluo Continent, could come up with to break through two formations!
