Chapter 124: Titan Giant Ape, Xiao Wu's Ruthlessness, Borrowing a Knife to Kill

The aggressiveness of a Black Mamba is far more formidable than that of a Phoenix-Tail Crested Serpent; absorbing such a Spirit Ring is also slightly more difficult.

Meng Yiran finished absorbing her Spirit Ring in less than half an hour, while Dugu Yan had been at it for an hour and was still struggling against the impact of the soul power within the Spirit Ring.

However, the group was not worried; after all, it was not an over-limit Spirit Ring, so it would not pose a danger to Dugu Yan. Qin Ming estimated that in half an hour at most, Dugu Yan would be able to wake up.

Tang San watched with a bit of envy; if the age of that Black Mamba just now had been a little lower, it would have been very suitable for him as well.

"Xiao San, don't be anxious. There are many Spirit Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest; sooner or later, you will encounter one that suits you," Zhao Wuji said, patting Tang San on the shoulder.

Tang San nodded, "I understand, Zhao Lao Shi. Searching for Spirit Beasts is a matter of luck; being anxious is useless. Don't worry, I have patience."

Zhao Wuji smiled. In terms of both strength and temperament, Tang San was indeed the most outstanding student he had ever taught.

Although the Flying General Nan Feihuang had become famous at a young age and was indeed more excellent than Tang San right now, he felt that in the future, Tang San might not lack the opportunity to surpass him.

Just at this moment, the smile in Zhao Wuji's eyes suddenly vanished. One hand grabbed Tang San's shoulder and pulled him behind himself. An aura cold to the extreme erupted from Zhao Wuji's body, and accompanied by a low roar, he directly summoned his martial soul, the Vajra Bear instantly possessing him.

"Everyone, prepare for battle, quickly!" Zhao Wuji let out a low roar. His deep, thick voice reached everyone's ears.

"Everyone, stand behind me!" Qin Ming also roared at the same time.

The Black Mamba from before was adept at concealment and had deliberately hidden its aura to prepare for an ambush, so they hadn't discovered it at the first moment. But now, that fierce, terrifying, and hair-raising aura had already made them break out in cold sweat; how could they possibly not feel it?

"Teacher Qin, what's wrong?" Oslo was seeing Qin Ming look this nervous for the first time.

"Boom!"

A thunderous roar rang out, as if the earth dragon were turning over, and the ground began to shake.

Right in the direction the two teachers were watching, countless trees were pushed over to the ground, and a massive figure slowly walked out from the darkness.

Seeing this big guy, everyone's breathing seemed to stop. The group finally understood what Zhao Wuji and Qin Ming were worried about.

It was an existence like a mountain. Its pitch-black fur shimmered with a faint luster under the dim starlight and moonlight.

In appearance, it looked like both an ape and a chimpanzee. Except for a pair of eyes as large as lanterns that shimmered with a yellow crystal-like luster, its entire body was pitch black. In the night, if it weren't moving, one wouldn't even be able to see its body clearly.

This big guy's body was truly too majestic. It was majestic to an unbelievable degree; not only was its body massive, but every part of it was covered in strong muscles even more terrifying than granite.

"It's actually the Forest King, the Titan." Even the usually calm Tang San had his voice change at this moment.

Nan Feihuang smiled slightly; it had finally come out. He had agreed to follow Shrek's operation precisely for this big guy.

The appearance of a Titan in any Spirit Beast forest was absolutely that of an overlord. No Spirit Beast dared to offend it, because the result would inevitably be death. Even a hundred-year-level Titan could compete with other ten-thousand-year-level Spirit Beasts.

They possessed unparalleled strength and speed; there were almost no flaws in their attack or defense.

Even among ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts, their strength was vastly different; this was a matter of their innate racial ability. And the Titan was clearly one of the few Spirit Beasts standing at the top of the pyramid among all Spirit Beasts.

Zhao Wuji's Vajra Bear was simply as weak as a baby in front of it.

"Damn it, a Titan. Against this kind of monster, even if Zhao Wuji and I join forces, we have no chance of winning. If Zhao Wuji and I risked our lives to deal with it, the children might have a slim chance of escaping, but now Dugu Yan is absorbing a Spirit Ring and cannot move at all. What should we do?" Qin Ming was filled with sorrow.

Zhao Wuji, however, tentatively said, "Respected Forest King, we have no intention of offending you. If this is your territory, we are willing to withdraw immediately."

He knew that the Titan could understand human speech, especially this Titan before them, whose cultivation was clearly over tens of thousands of years. He really couldn't figure out why such a monster would suddenly run to the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest; shouldn't it be reigning supreme in the very center?

The Titan seemed to have no intention of bothering with Zhao Wuji at all, and its massive figure pressed down toward them.

Looking at those huge ape eyes, everyone except Nan Feihuang was breaking out in cold sweat.

Even the little witch Ning Rongrong and the strong-willed Zhu Zhuqing had their legs trembling at this moment, and Ma Hongjun was even worse, having already collapsed to the ground.

Xun Yu walked to Nan Feihuang's side and whispered, "My Lord..."

He knew about the matter of the Red Hare and was just about to say something.

Nan Feihuang looked back and smiled, using Soul Transmission to say, "Wenruo, don't worry. The appearance of this thing is within my expectations. You just need to protect Senior Sister Ye Lingling; leave the rest to me."

"Understood!" At a time like this, Xun Yu absolutely trusted Nan Feihuang. He knew that his lord was actually quite reliable at critical moments.

Feeling that the Titan did not seem to have any intention of letting them leave, Zhao Wuji said in a deep voice, "Xiao Qin, block it with me. Everyone else, run! Scatter and run; save as many as you can!"

"Remember, you must be fast. Xiao Qin and I won't be able to hold on for long even if we join forces."

After speaking, Zhao Wuji took a deep breath, the light of the seven Spirit Rings on his body flared, and the seventh Spirit Ring lit up directly.

"Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul Avatar!!!"

With the Titan as an opponent, Zhao Wuji naturally would not hold anything back.

His already extremely majestic body expanded rapidly as if it were a balloon. In the blink of an eye, his height exceeded five meters, and the muscles all over his body expanded in an exaggerated form. Brown-yellow fur grew wildly, and he actually turned into a real giant bear.

When his body completely turned into bear form, the brown-yellow fur changed color instantly, shimmering with a bright golden light. Zhao Wuji, incarnated as a bear, did not hesitate to slap out at the Titan, "Second Soul Skill: Vajra Palm!"

The Vajra Palm under the Martial Soul Avatar was at least three or four times more powerful than usual. Even a Spirit Douluo would not dare to take this palm from Zhao Wuji head-on. It was just a pity that his opponent now was a Titan.

The Titan took the palm with its physical body and didn't budge an inch; instead, Zhao Wuji was shaken back several steps by the recoil.

"Sixth Soul Skill: Bursting Fire!" Qin Ming also unleashed his strongest attack. He did not have an Avatar, so his power was far inferior to Zhao Wuji's and could only be considered auxiliary.

This bit of fire power wasn't even enough to give the Titan heat therapy; instead, it incited the Titan's anger, and it slapped toward the Shrek group.

"Damn it, it's simply Immovable as a Mountain! Everyone, run!" Qin Ming roared.

"No, Yan'er is absorbing a Spirit Ring, I can't leave!" Yu Tianheng did not listen to his teacher this time. As a man, how could he abandon his girlfriend at such a time?

"Strange, why isn't this Xiao Wu moving?" Nan Feihuang glanced at Xiao Wu. The Titan would not show the slightest mercy to humans. In the original story, it was because of her behavior—appearing to attack but actually jumping in front of the Titan—that the Titan stopped.

But at this moment, she was just standing in the Shrek crowd, not jumping out actively like in the original story to let the Titan grab her and leave.

"I understand, heh, is this the 'an eye for an eye' nature of Spirit Beasts?" Nan Feihuang quickly guessed Xiao Wu's intention. She wanted to use the Titan's power to help her take revenge.

In any case, the Titan was attacking the Imperial Fighting team, not Shrek, so why should she be in a hurry to stop it?

It wouldn't be too late for her to jump out after the Nan Feihuang she hated was slapped into a meat patty by the Titan.

The world of Spirit Beasts has always been one where the strong prey on the weak. Don't look at Xiao Wu like a simple little girl; to be able to cultivate to a hundred-thousand-year level, the lives in her hands were likely not few, and she was very ruthless toward her enemies.

"Thunderous Might!" Yu Tianheng was covered in lightning, blocking in front of Dugu Yan.

"Hmph, you still have some backbone. For the sake of you not abandoning Yan Yan even when facing life-threatening danger, this old man will acknowledge you. Step back!" An aged but spirited voice rang out, and then, a gray-white light shot out from the forest.

"Medusa's Gaze!"
