Chapter 108: King of the Forest, the Titan Giant Ape Appears!
Chapter 108: King of the Forest, the Titan Giant Ape Appears!
The Shrek group set off once again.
This time, the atmosphere within the team had completely changed.
Oscar walked at the very front beside Zhao Wuji, keeping far away from Tang San.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing followed beside Xiao Wu; the three girls spoke in low voices, but their gazes would occasionally drift toward Lin Qingmo.
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun walked in the middle, both wearing strange expressions.
Ma Hongjun secretly poked Dai Mubai.
"Boss Dai, do you think Tang San really has something wrong with his head?"
"Tsk."
Dai Mubai shot him a glare.
He felt disgusted just hearing the name Tang San.
This thing was sick, and deserved to die!
When Oscar’s spirit ring absorption failed, his first concern wasn’t Oscar’s condition, but rather the hope that Zhao Wuji would slap Tang San to death in a fit of rage!
Unfortunately, knowing that Tang San had Tang Hao backing him, Zhao Wuji had not lost his reason to anger.
Tang San was currently walking at the very back.
His head was lowered, his eyes gloomy.
That slap from Zhao Wuji earlier, and Oscar’s resentful gaze... they filled him with anger and resentment.
He didn’t think he was in the wrong.
The one in the wrong was clearly Lin Qingmo!
If Lin Qingmo hadn’t appeared, Xiao Wu would be his!
If Xiao Wu were his, how could he have been provoked? How could he have interrupted Oscar?
Everything was Lin Qingmo’s fault!
Just you wait, one day... He looked up at Lin Qingmo’s back, a flash of cold killing intent flickering in the depths of his eyes.
"Hmm?"
Lin Qingmo suddenly looked back.
He glanced at Tang San, his eyes calm and rippleless.
Then, he turned back around.
But in his heart, he had already labeled Tang San a ’dangerous element’.
It seemed he would have to be on guard from now on... High above.
Bibi Dong quietly watched all of this.
When she saw that trace of killing intent in Tang San’s eyes, her purple eyes narrowed slightly.
"Seeking death."
She softly spat out those two words.
But she didn’t act immediately.
She wanted to see how her silly disciple would handle this kind of trouble... Another three days passed, and they still found nothing.
An indescribable oppression permeated the air.
Oscar walked at the very front, his face as black as if it had been smeared with soot.
Yesterday’s mess was like a fishbone stuck in his throat.
He couldn’t spit it out, and he couldn’t swallow it.
With every step, his chest felt stifled.
The moment the spirit ring shattered replayed repeatedly in his mind.
The image of the purple light points dissipating was like a slow-motion scene, replaying frame by frame.
"Damn Tang San..."
He gritted his teeth, his voice so low only he could hear it.
His fists were clenched so tight that his nails were nearly digging into his palms.
If it weren’t for Tang San, he would have already obtained the spirit ring most suitable for him.
Tang San followed at the back of the group; he deliberately kept his distance from everyone, head lowered, thinking who knows what.
Occasionally he would look up, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Wu’s back.
Lin Qingmo held Xiao Wu’s hand, and the two chatted casually.
The topics ranged from the dry rations they ate this morning to which mushrooms in the forest were poisonous.
Then they jumped to whether the meat of that Phoenix Tail Cockscomb Snake from yesterday looked delicious.
It was mindless chatter, but the atmosphere was relaxed.
Xiao Wu, however, was a bit distracted today.
She kept looking back toward the depths of the forest from time to time.
Her gaze was flighty, as if she were nervous about something.
"What’s wrong?"
Lin Qingmo squeezed her hand and asked in a low voice.
"No... nothing."
Xiao Wu turned her head and gave him a sweet smile.
But the hand she was holding Lin Qingmo’s with tightened unconsciously.
Her fingertips were ice-cold.
Zhao Wuji walked in the middle of the group, his brow furrowed into a knot.
He currently felt as if he were carrying a landmine that could explode at any moment.
On one side was Oscar, whose spirit ring had been destroyed and who was harboring a belly full of fire.
On the other was Tang San, whose emotions were unstable and whose gaze was becoming increasingly dark.
This team was hard to lead.
He sighed and looked up at the sky.
The sun had already risen to its zenith.
They had to hurry.
Just as everyone’s Spirits had dropped to their lowest point and even the sound of their footsteps seemed listless—
"BOOM—!!!"
Without any warning.
The ground beneath their feet suddenly shook violently!
That was no ordinary earthquake.
It felt as if some gargantuan creature was turning over underground, or like something was awakening from its slumber.
"What’s going on?!"
Zhao Wuji’s expression changed drastically, and he almost instinctively possessed his Spirit.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black.
Seven spirit rings rose instantly, and spirit power erupted!
The phantom of the Vigorous Vajra Bear manifested behind him, letting out a low roar.
"Everyone cluster together! Back to back! Stay alert!"
He barked out the order, his voice carrying an unprecedented solemnity.
"Rumble!"
The trees began to shake frantically.
Thick trunks let out overburdened groans, cracks spreading all the way from the roots to the crowns, while branches and leaves fell like rain with a loud rustle.
Birds and beasts scattered in flight.
Flocks of birds burst out from the treetops in terror, turning into a chaotic mess in the sky.
Land animals crashed through the bushes in a blind panic, some even scurrying directly past everyone’s feet.
The entire forest seemed to have been stirred by an invisible giant hand; it was utter chaos!
"ROAR—!!!"
A roar came from deep within the forest.
The sound was low and thick, carrying terrifying spirit power fluctuations like a heavy hammer slamming hard against everyone’s chests.
Eardrums buzzed, and hearts beat frantically to that rhythm.
Even breathing became difficult.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
Heavy footsteps approached from afar.
With every step that landed, the earth trembled.
The entire forest shivered at its arrival.
Trees were crudely pushed aside, snapped, and crushed.
A massive black shadow slowly emerged from the depths of the dense woods.
It was over ten meters tall, its body covered in black fur as thick as armor, muscles bulging like a moving small mountain.
Thick arms hung at its sides, its fists larger than millstones.
Every muscle was taut, containing explosive power.
Most heart-stopping of all were those eyes, looking down upon the ants at its feet like a high-and-mighty Divinity.
They held no emotion.
Only pure, violent power!
"Titan... Giant Ape..."
For the first time, Zhao Wuji’s voice trembled.
His face was deathly pale, fine beads of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and the clothes on his back were soaked through with cold sweat.
As a Spirit Saint, he knew all too well what the presence before him meant.
A 100,000-Year Soul Beast!
The absolute king of the Star Dou Great Forest!
A terrifying existence that even a Titled Douluo might not necessarily gain an advantage over!
"It’s over..."
Dai Mubai murmured, his legs going weak.
He felt his White TigerSpirit actually trembling slightly under the gaze of those eyes.
That was suppression from the very level of life itself!
Ma Hongjun and Oscar slumped directly onto the ground, teeth chattering, without even the strength to stand up.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing huddled closely together.
The two girls’ faces were ashen, their palms covered in sweat.
Only Xiao Wu.
She looked at the Titan Giant Ape, her eyes brightening for a moment.
That light vanished in an instant, so fast it was impossible to catch.
She gripped Lin Qingmo’s hand very tightly, so tight her fingertips turned white.
"Everyone get behind me!!"
Zhao Wuji roared, activating his Martial Soul True Body!
The phantom of the Vigorous Vajra Bear instantly expanded, transforming into a giant bear nearly five meters tall.
He charged toward the Titan Giant Ape.
