Chapter 109: Xiao Wu is Captured, Bibi Dong Appears, Tang San and the Man Faced Demon Spider
Zhao Wuji rushed towards the Titan Giant Ape.
The Titan Giant Ape didn’t even spare him a glance.
Its enormous golden-yellow pupils bypassed the crowd, penetrated the spirit power barrier Zhao Wuji desperately held up, and landed precisely on Xiao Wu.
Then—it reached out its hand.
What a hand it was.
Its five fingers spread wide, larger than trees.
The rough lines on its palm resembled cracked earth.
The massive hand, carrying irresistible gales, grabbed towards Xiao Wu.
The air was compressed, letting out a dull sonic boom.
The light in everyone’s vision dimmed momentarily due to the hand’s obstruction.
"Xiao Wu!!!"
Tang San’s eyes were splitting with rage as he charged forward like a madman.
His Purple Demon Eye was activated to its maximum, blood vessels covering his eyes.
He recklessly released his Blue Silver Grass, attempting to bind the hand.
But as soon as the Blue Silver Grass approached, it was shredded by the fierce wind generated by the palm, unable to delay it even for a second.
Lin Qingmo was faster than Tang San, or rather, he should have been faster.
But in that very instant, Lin Qingmo’s body subtly paused.
The pause was brief, less than half a second—so short that no one noticed it but himself.
It was as if he had been tripped by something, or perhaps he had intentionally slowed down by half a beat.
He knew perfectly well.
The Titan Giant Ape, Er Ming, was Xiao Wu’s "younger brother."
It had come to bring its older sister home.
But this scene had to be acted out, performed for everyone.
The more convincing the performance, the safer Xiao Wu’s identity would be.
And so.
Under the terrified gazes of everyone, the Titan Giant Ape’s massive palm gently cupped Xiao Wu.
The movement was extremely gentle, even slightly cautious, afraid of hurting her.
Then—it turned and began to stride.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The heavy footsteps sounded once more.
It ran toward the depths of the forest, moving at astonishing speed.
Its massive body moved through the trees, yet it was unbelievably agile.
Within a few breaths, the giant black shadow vanished at the edge of the dense woods.
Only leaving behind a mess on the ground, and a group of stunned people.
"Xiao Wu—!!!"
Tang San let out a desperate roar, ready to chase after them.
"Don’t be rash!"
Zhao Wuji immediately stopped him.
But before leaving, the Titan Giant Ape casually swung its arm.
The resulting fierce wind, like an invisible wall, smashed heavily into Zhao Wuji.
"Pfft—!"
Zhao Wuji spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and was sent flying backward.
He broke two large trees consecutively before crashing heavily onto the ground.
"Teacher Zhao!!"
Everyone cried out and rushed over.
Zhao Wuji struggled to get up, his face as pale as paper.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his voice hoarse beyond belief: "Go... leave here first..."
"We cannot handle the Titan Giant Ape!"
He knew very well.
Facing the Titan Giant Ape meant certain death.
A 100,000-Year Soul Beast was an existence far beyond their ability to touch.
"But Xiao Wu..."
Ning Rongrong was so anxious that tears were welling up in her eyes.
"Save your lives first, then figure out a plan!"
Zhao Wuji said through gritted teeth.
Where there’s life, there’s hope.
But deep down, he had absolutely no confidence.
Rescuing someone from the Titan Giant Ape... what a joke.
"No."
Lin Qingmo suddenly spoke.
He looked in the direction where the Titan Giant Ape had vanished, his gaze ’firm’ like tempered iron.
"I’m going to find Xiao Wu."
He spoke very calmly, but there was no room for negotiation in his tone.
"Qingmo! Are you crazy?!"
Zhao Wuji yelled, "That is a 100,000-Year Soul Beast! Are you going to throw your life away?!"
"I know."
Lin Qingmo pulled his hand free.
"But I must go."
He paused, then looked at the crowd.
"You all retreat first. I have my own way."
After speaking, he didn’t wait for anyone to react.
He raised both hands, and Blue Silver Grass surged forth.
The thick vines were like living tentacles, Binding the surrounding tree trunks, forming suspension bridges between the trees.
The Blue Silver Grass vines tightened again, and his figure swung toward the depths of the forest like an agile ape.
After a few swings, he vanished from everyone’s sight.
"Xiao Wu!! Wait for me!!"
Tang San also roared, charging out recklessly.
"Tang San! Come back!!"
Zhao Wuji tried to stop him, but it was too late.
He watched the direction where the two disappeared, his chest heaving violently.
Finally, he sighed dejectedly.
"We go."
He led the remaining people towards the outskirts of the forest.
Every step was incredibly heavy... Lin Qingmo rapidly traversed the woods for a while.
Blue Silver Grass cleared the path for him, sensing everything around.
In reality, he wasn’t worried at all.
Er Ming wouldn’t hurt Xiao Wu.
All he had to do now was finish acting out this scene of "frantically searching for his girlfriend."
And while he was at it... do something for himself.
Just as he was thinking—
"Swoosh."
A dark figure appeared silently before him.
A black robe fluttered, revealing a pair of familiar purple eyes beneath the hood.
Those eyes were like deep autumn pool water—cold and profound—and a subtle smile played on the corners of her lips.
"Master?"
Lin Qingmo stopped, stunned for a moment, instantly recognizing the familiar aura emanating from Bibi Dong.
"Master, why are you here?"
Bibi Dong looked at him, the corner of her lips curving slightly.
The smile was faint, as light as morning mist.
"I came to hunt a fourth spirit ring for you."
She said it casually.
But Lin Qingmo knew clearly in his heart.
For his Master to appear so precisely, she must have been following him all along.
Tsk, this protective instinct is a bit excessive, isn’t it?
He couldn’t help but complain internally.
But the corners of his mouth lifted uncontrollably.
The feeling of being cared for wasn’t bad, actually.
"As for the Titan Giant Ape..."
Bibi Dong looked towards the depths of the forest, her brows slightly furrowed.
She had been watching from the shadows the whole time.
When the Titan Giant Ape appeared, she nearly made a move.
But seeing Xiao Wu and Lin Qingmo’s reactions, she restrained herself.
There seemed to be some connection between that girl and the Titan Giant Ape.
"Don’t worry."
Lin Qingmo waved his hand, his tone relaxed.
"That guy knows Xiao Wu; he won’t hurt her."
He thought for a moment, and his eyes lit up.
"Master, since you’re already here, why don’t we secure my fourth spirit ring first?"
"It won’t be too late to look for Xiao Wu after I absorb the spirit ring."
His calculations were loud and clear.
With Er Ming present, Xiao Wu’s safety was definitely not an issue.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to take this opportunity to get the spirit ring?
And with Bibi Dong here, hunting any Spirit Beast would be a breeze, wouldn’t it?
"..."
Bibi Dong looked at him for a few seconds.
Sure enough, the Titan Giant Ape was connected to Xiao Wu.
A hint of helplessness, mixed with indulgence, flashed in her pair of purple eyes.
"You certainly are carefree."
She whispered, "Let’s go."
She naturally reached out and wrapped her arm around Lin Qingmo’s waist.
The next moment—the two shot up into the sky!
"!!!"
The fierce wind howled past their ears.
The forest beneath them rapidly receded, turning into a continuous green sea.
Lin Qingmo looked down at the undulating treetops below.
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the branches and leaves, casting dappled spots of light, like gold scattered across the ground.
Suddenly, his peripheral vision caught sight of something.
It was a small clearing in the woods.
Two people were lying on the clearing.
No.
It should be said that one person and one beast were lying there.
The person was curled up on the ground, eyes tightly shut, their breath faint like a candle in the wind.
It was Tang San!
Lying next to him was a Spirit Beast spider that was entirely black, hideous, and terrifying.
Its eight long legs were rigidly spread out, its belly facing upward.
The distorted human face pattern on its belly was clearly visible, reflecting a cold, eerie light under the sun.
Man Faced Demon Spider!
