Chapter 111: Titan Giant Ape

……

"Xiaogang, I know what you are thinking, but you really cannot remain stuck in the past any longer; it is time to look forward." Flender earnestly placed *Feng's Words and Feng's Sayings* back into Yu Xiaogang's hands.

"Just consider it a favor to your old brother, and read it."

Yu Xiaogang was clearly living in his own world, stubborn in his opinions; if he were opposed, Yu Xiaogang would not only fail to change but would instead guard his own philosophy even more firmly.

Only by letting him see it for himself was there a possibility of him waking up.

"Flender, really..."

"Alert!"

Sensing a series of collisions, Flender's expression changed; he instantly completed his Martial Soul Possession, flew above the campsite, and looked toward the distance.

He saw a massive creature moving rapidly through the forest, heading straight for their campsite.

Before Flender could react, the giant figure, crashing through the forest, revealed its form.

"Ti... Titan Giant Ape?!"

Flender landed on the ground with a stiff expression.

The Shrek group was directly stunned by the Titan Giant Ape's terrifying aura; Tang San could not even touch the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow hidden behind him.

"Respected Forest King, we have no intention of intruding into your territory. If you feel angry about this, we are willing to leave here immediately." Flender met the Titan Giant Ape's gaze.

"Can... can Soul Beasts understand human speech?" Ma Hongjun asked nervously.

"Of course, most Soul Beasts can understand human language, it is just that most Soul Beasts are unwilling to bother with humans; besides, understanding it does not mean they can comprehend it," Xiao Wu said.

The reason Er Ming is called the Forest King by human Spirit Masters is not only because of its strength, but also because it understands human nature and generally does not take the initiative to attack humans.

Even if it encounters human Spirit Masters, it only drives them away and rarely kills them; as time passed, humans mistakenly assumed that Er Ming was the most powerful Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest.

But in reality, it is only because humans can only come into contact with Er Ming.

Moreover, under the influence of her mother, Er Ming generally does not kill those it can drive away; only those humans who have something wrong with their brains will be killed by Er Ming.

"It can understand?" Oscar was stunned.

"Then why are humans always besieged when they enter the Soul Beast Forest?"

Xiao Wu looked speechless, "If a group of robbers broke into your home with knives and guns, smashing things everywhere, and the moment you discovered them, the other party said, 'I didn't mean it, this is all a misunderstanding,' they are treating you like a fool."

"In this situation, what would you do?"

"Magnanimously forgive this group of robbers?"

"You've already run into someone's home to burn, kill, and loot, and you still expect them to reason with you? Isn't that just having something wrong with your brain!"

Most Soul Beasts only choose to attack humans when defending their territory; this is also the main reason humans think Soul Beasts cannot communicate.

Clearly, they are the predators themselves, clearly they are the ones who ran into the Soul Beasts' living area to burn, kill, and loot, yet they still feel that the Soul Beasts are too cruel.

The world of Soul Beasts is much more orderly than that of humans!

Except for a very small number of Soul Beasts, most Soul Beast species have a strict sense of territory and will absolutely not leave rashly, let alone intrude into the living areas of other Soul Beast groups without authorization.

"But we were just passing by," Oscar said nervously.

"If you were stronger than it, would you still say that?" Xiao Wu said.

"I..." Oscar was momentarily speechless.

"You are a robber yourself, yet when you encounter a stronger robber, you attempt to reason with them; when you rob others, it is 'survival of the fittest,' but when you are robbed by others, it is 'heaven is unfair.' Isn't that disgusting?" Xiao Wu complained.

Soul Beasts never harp on grand principles; survival of the fittest runs through the entire life of a Soul Beast.

Nan Feng had complained before that the reason Transformed Spirit Beasts must come into contact with humans to continue growing is likely to learn this shamelessness and slickness of humans.

Only by being assimilated by humans can a true transformation be considered complete.

If not, then in essence, they are still Soul Beasts.

This is also the fundamental reason why so many Transformed Spirit Beasts have walked out of the Star Dou Great Forest in the past, only to disappear without a trace.

Transformed Spirit Beasts ultimately cannot become true humans; their thought logic is completely different to begin with.

The so-called transformation and recultivation, the so-called glimmer of hope, is nothing more than a scam.

The God Realm has never given the Soul Beast clan even half a chance to survive! Only extinction awaits them! "Why has it stopped moving?" Ma Hongjun asked in a low voice.

Ever since it rushed here, this Titan Giant Ape had not moved, and its gaze had not lowered, as if it did not see them at all.

"Could it be just passing by?" Oscar guessed.

"……"

"Er Ming? Why haven't you made a move yet?" Xiao Wu transmitted mentally. "I haven't received the signal yet," Er Ming said.

"Da Ming and Feng Shu haven't made a move yet."

"Feng Shu?" Xiao Wu was stunned.

"Yeah, isn't he your stepfather?" Er Ming said.

"He..."

BOOM!!! Before Xiao Wu could say anything more, a bright pillar of fire shot straight into the sky from the distance.

Seeing this, Er Ming began to pretend to be angry and beat its chest, first using a gravity impact to pin everyone to the ground, then scooping up Xiao Wu and turning to run.

"???"

Flender was dumbfounded, or rather, everyone except Tang San was dumbfounded.

"Xiao Wu!!" Tang San's eyes turned red, and he took out the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow to aim at the Titan Giant Ape, but before he could fire, Er Ming had already left the effective range.

Seeing this, Tang San directly activated Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and chased after them.

"Wait a moment!" Flender flew up from the ground and blocked Tang San's path.

"That is a Titan Giant Ape, the Forest King! Are you going to throw your life away?"

"But Xiao Wu has been taken!" Tang San said anxiously.

"Is it useful for you to chase after it?" Flender grabbed Tang San tightly.

"Even a Title Douluo might not be able to deal with this guy; if you chase after him, you won't even have the qualifications to block his path!"

"But..."

"Zhao Wuji, watch over them; I will chase after him to see the situation."

As he spoke, Flender grabbed Tang San and tossed him to Zhao Wuji, then leaped into the air, chasing in the direction the Titan Giant Ape was rampaging.

"Dean!" Ma Hongjun panicked.

Even a Title Douluo is no match for it, chasing after it is just throwing your life away! "Everyone, don't be nervous; Flender knows what he's doing and won't act recklessly," Yu Xiaogang said.

"What does he know! The Dean is only a Spirit Saint, how could he possibly snatch someone from the hands of the Titan Giant Ape!" Ma Hongjun said anxiously.

"Oscar, give me a Flying Mushroom Sausage," Tang San whispered.

Oscar was stunned, "Tang San, you aren't thinking of chasing after him to throw your life away, are you?"

"I cannot watch Xiao Wu have an accident right in front of me," Tang San said with red eyes, gripping the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow tightly.

"If you still consider me a friend, give me the Flying Mushroom Sausage!"

Oscar gritted his teeth and still produced two Flying Mushroom Sausages, "Don't do anything reckless, the Dean he..."

Before Oscar could finish his sentence, Tang San snatched the Flying Mushroom Sausage, ate it, and quickly chased in the direction the Titan Giant Ape was moving.

"Tang San!" Zhao Wuji was speechless.

"Oscar, are you trying to get him killed!"

Oscar looked helpless, "He just pointed that thing at me; if I didn't give him the Flying Mushroom Sausage, I felt like he was going to attack me."

The killing intent Tang San unleashed was truly too terrifying!

Even those Spirit Masters in the Life and Death Arena of the Great Spirit Arena didn't have killing intent as terrifying as this guy's!

"No, we cannot let Tang San go alone!" Yu Xiaogang said anxiously.

"Oscar, hurry up and produce Flying Mushroom Sausages, we are chasing after him!"

Tang San must not have an accident! If something happened to Tang San, there would be no point in him living either!

Having lived a cowardly life for most of his years, Tang San was his only hope!

"I..." Oscar looked at Zhao Wuji.

"Teacher Zhao, we..."

"Make them!" Zhao Wuji's face darkened.

"Getting stuck with students like you, I must have had eight lifetimes of bad luck!"

Dai Mubai was somewhat reluctant, "But the Dean said..."

"Flender said to let me watch over all of you; now that Tang San has run off, I must bring him back too!" Zhao Wuji glared fiercely at Dai Mubai.

Don't show that cowardly, bullying-the-weak-and-fearing-the-strong side of yours at a time like this! I can't afford to lose face like that! (End of chapter)
