Night fell.
The nights in the Star Dou Great Forest are more dangerous than the days, with the cries of various Soul Beast echoing through the darkness.
The three found a clearing near the stream and set up camp. The campfire flickered in the night wind, casting flickering shadows around them.
Hu Liena poked at the fire listlessly, while Gui Yuan sat opposite her, closing his eyes to meditate.
Bibi Dong stood at the edge of the camp, gazing into the darkness in the distance, her expression suddenly freezing.
"Danger!"
Hu Liena immediately stood up, and Gui Yuan also opened his eyes instantly and sprang up from the ground.
Bibi Dong reached out and pushed the two of them behind her, her hands already gathering Soul Power.
She frowned and said, " Xiao Yuan, if there's any danger later, take Nana and leave here first."
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of muffled footsteps came from the darkness ahead.
Each step felt like a heavy hammer striking the ground, accompanied by a slight tremor.
Immediately afterwards, a huge figure emerged from the shadows of the dense forest.
It is about seven or eight meters tall, entirely black, and its muscles bulge like rocks.
Gui Yuan's pupils constricted sharply, as he exclaimed in astonishment, "It's actually the King of the Forest, the Titan Giant Ape! How could he be here?"
He instinctively shielded Hu Liena behind him, while simultaneously unleashing his Six-Winged Golden Cicada Wings.
Six gilded wings unfolded in the night, their edges shimmering with tiny lights.
If things didn't look right, he would immediately take Hu Liena away.
His teacher, Bibi Dong, was certainly strong enough to deal with the Titan Giant Ape, but the problem now was that there were two of them, who were also a burden, by his side.
Even if they were all at the Soul King level, the aftershocks of their battle were no joke.
Bibi Dong said calmly, "We are currently in the Mixed Zone, very close to the Core Zone."
The reason the Titan Giant Ape appeared here is actually quite simple: it was getting bored in the Core Zone, so it came out for a stroll.
Then they happened to run into these three human Soul Master, one of whom was actually Titled Douluo.
Bibi Dong shouted in a low voice, "Go!"
The next moment, the Soul-Eating Spider Emperor Martial Soul Possession, and dark green light surged around her. Seven Soul Ring— five black and two red—emerged beneath her, with the Seventh Soul Ring suddenly lighting up.
" Seventh Soul Skill, Soul-Eating Spider Emperor Avatar!"
Her figure became even more formidable in the light, her eight spider legs unfolding like sharp blades, and her entire being exuding an almost solid killing intent.
Both hands also possess two scythe-like sharp blades— the Death Spider Emperor Left and Right Arm Bones!
The Titan Giant Ape ' Er Ming ' was originally just curious as to why these three human Soul Master were here.
But when it saw the two scarlet Soul Ring beneath Bibi Dong, its expression froze, and a flash of fury appeared in its pupils.
That human Soul Master possessed Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, and it was very familiar with the aura of the second Soul Ring...
That's Auntie's Soul Ring!
Back then, Sister Xiao Wu's mother was hunted down and killed by a human Soul Master. It just so happened that he and his older brother were not around at the time, which gave them the opportunity to kill her.
It's you!
Er Ming let out a deafening roar, his voice carrying intense fluctuations of Soul Power that shook the surrounding trees.
"I will avenge my aunt!"
Its massive body lunged forward, its thick arms slamming down towards Bibi Dong.
The force was so great that the sound of the wind it generated made Hu Liena, who was behind the two, gasp for breath.
Without any hesitation, Gui Yuan picked Hu Liena up in his arms and instantly activated the Six-Winged Golden Cicada Wings Soul Bone Skill.
Spatial Shuttle!
His figure flickered in place for a moment, then reappeared dozens of meters away.
Then two more flashes followed, widening the distance to over a hundred meters.
Hu Liena, held in his arms, cried out anxiously, "Junior brother, Teacher...!"
As Gui Yuan flew, he spoke calmly and rationally, "Trust in Teacher's strength. That Titan Giant Ape is no match for her. Staying would only be a burden."
"So we have to go, the farther the better, to wait for the teacher on the outskirts."
Bibi Dong carried the five kinds of food she had prepared. Even though a battle broke out here later and the Sky Azure Bull Python came, with Bibi Dong's strength, escaping would not be a problem.
Hu Liena opened her mouth, but ultimately remained silent.
She knew her junior brother was right.
But seeing the teacher standing alone in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a tightness in her chest.
For the first time, she felt sad about her lack of ability.
If she were stronger, just a little stronger, at least she wouldn't have to be the one being protected.
Gui Yuan didn't look back, but instead sped up and flew further away.
The dense forest rushed past beneath our feet, and the light of the campfire quickly disappeared into the darkness.
In front of the campsite.
Bibi Dong felt a moment of relief as she watched Gui Yuan lead Hu Liena away without any hesitation.
Her disciple's judgment and decisiveness are far more mature than one would expect for his age.
Only in this way can she fight with all her might.
Bibi Dong turned her gaze back to the Titan Giant Ape; her Second Martial Soul was still two Soul Ring short.
Although the Titan Giant Ape's Soul Ring wasn't particularly compatible with the Soul-Eating Spider Emperor, the energy contained within its Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring was enough to offset this incompatibility.
If she kills it, her Soul-Eating Spider Emperor can gain another Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
However, she knew in her heart that if the Titan Giant Ape realized it couldn't defeat her, it would run away without hesitation.
Once Soul Beast reaches the 100,000-year level, its intelligence is in no way inferior to that of an adult human. If it tries to escape, it will turn into a long tug-of-war.
Her two disciples were still waiting behind her; she didn't have that much time.
Moreover, she knew that the Titan Giant Ape had an older brother, the Sky Azure Bull Python, who also had a cultivation level of 100,000 years.
If it's a two-on-one fight, given her current strength suppressed by the Rakshasa God Trial, she might not be able to win.
Therefore, she now has only one goal: to intimidate the opponent and force them to retreat!
But Er Ming's words made her pause slightly.
"That Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit that has taken human form, is she your aunt?"
Bibi Dong's voice was calm, but a hint of realization flashed in her eyes. So that's how it is!
No wonder this Titan Giant Ape was so hostile towards her.
Er Ming coldly replied, "If you know, then you'll pay for it with your life!"
What it was really thinking was that if Bibi Dong could stay here, Sister Xiao Wu would have an easier time outside.
The human world is still too dangerous.
Little did it know that Xiao Wu was currently at the Nuoding Academy with Tang San, and hadn't been seriously cultivating at all.
Otherwise, given her cultivation speed, it's impossible that she only had level 29 Soul Power at the age of twelve.
After Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast transforms, although its highest level can only be the tenth level of Innate Full Soul Power, it is actually much faster, which is equivalent to having a Mimicry Cultivation Environment to accelerate its growth.
