Chapter 46: Tang San Kneels Down, Helpful Citizen Little Wu

In the Star Dou Great Forest.

The Flying Mushroom Sausage was completely used up, and Tang San was forced to land.

At this moment, his eyes held only the safety of Xiao Wu; he had not noticed at all that he had been targeted by a Soul Beast.

The couple known as the Peerless Dragon and Snake entered the forest much later than in the original timeline, and as of now, they had not yet encountered the Man-Faced Demon Spider.

Without having its three silk-spitting opportunities consumed, the strength of the Man-Faced Demon Spider could not be underestimated.

Seeing that the timing was ripe, the Man-Faced Demon Spider launched a surprise attack.

Tang San's Purple Demon Eye had not been deactivated, and the sudden movement was caught in his sight.

He reacted quickly, relying on the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to dodge the piercing strike of the spider legs.

Facing the Man-Faced Demon Spider in its prime state, Tang San had no way to cope.

Not to mention, this creature's age had reached two thousand years; even an average Soul Elder would be no match for it.

Even if all his Hidden Weapons were unleashed, they could only barely alleviate the opponent's offensive.

Tang San fell into a bitter struggle; in order to save Xiao Wu, he erupted with astonishing strength.

For a short time, the Man-Faced Demon Spider seemed unable to take him down.

……

On the other side.

After several rounds of exchanges, the Fear Bear knew it was no match and fled through the forest like a madman.

Wu Qi and his two companions chased closely behind it; unfortunately, this guy happened to run into the Man-Faced Demon Spider that was fighting Tang San.

Seeing an oblivious fellow ruining its business, the Man-Faced Demon Spider spat silk at it, trapping it on the spot.

Wu Qi noticed the presence of the Man-Faced Demon Spider; at this moment, the opponent had undoubtedly done them a huge favor.

"Changkong, go finish it off; I will go restrain that Man-Faced Demon Spider."

The spider silk of the Man-Faced Demon Spider had wrapped the Fear Bear like a zongzi; even though it possessed sharp bear claws, it was unable to break free while its entire body was tightly bound.

Qiangu Changkong swung his Coiling Dragon Staff and easily killed it.

A purple Soul Ring floated in mid-air, bringing a touch of purple glow to the dark forest.

Upon seeing the Man-Faced Demon Spider, Wu Qi instinctively wanted to kill it.

He did not know which Man-Faced Demon Spider's Soul Ring Tang San had absorbed in the original timeline; killing one more might just lead to Tang San being unable to obtain the Eight Spider Soul Bone.

Unfortunately, after he forced the Man-Faced Demon Spider back, he happened to notice Tang San not far away.

"Tang San, why are you here?"

Calculating the time, Xiao Wu had already been abducted by the Titan Giant Ape at this point.

How could Tang San keep up with the speed of the Titan Giant Ape? After being shaken off, he could only "wander blindly" in the forest.

In that case, wouldn't this Man-Faced Demon Spider provide the Eight Spider Soul Bone for Tang San?

Seeing an acquaintance, Tang San breathed a slight sigh of relief, "What should I call you, friend? Would you be willing to join me in killing this Man-Faced Demon Spider?"

Soon, Ning Rongrong's amplification fell upon Wu Qi, and the latter's offensive became increasingly fierce.

For Wu Qi, since he had run into it, there was no reason to hand the soul bone over to Tang San.

The Man-Faced Demon Spider was not good at frontal confrontation to begin with; seeing that its opponent's strength was incomparably formidable, the creature burrowed into an underground cave and vanished without a trace.

The crisis was temporarily resolved, and Tang San sighed in relief: "Brother Wu, Xiao Wu was snatched away by the Titan Giant Ape; could you accompany me to save her?"

Wu Qi refused flatly, "No!"

The Titan Giant Ape was a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast; even if he were willing to help, his heart would be willing but his strength would be insufficient.

Furthermore, a Soul Ring could only be maintained for one hour; following Tang San out to chase it, heaven knows when they would be able to find Xiao Wu.

Their mission this time was to help Qiangu Changkong hunt for a soul, so there was no reason to cause extra trouble.

Knowing the future developments well, he of course knew that Xiao Wu would be fine, and Tang San's actions were purely blind worrying.

Under Wu Qi's signal, Qiangu Changkong sat cross-legged, his fingers hooking the Soul Ring to attach it to his martial soul.

Seeing this, Tang San's face turned ashen, but for the sake of Xiao Wu, he had to do something.

With a thud.

In the astonished gazes of Wu Qi and the others, Tang San actually knelt down.

Qiangu Changkong even stopped absorbing the Soul Ring, stood up, and looked at Tang San in confusion.

"Brother Wu, I know this is asking too much, and it makes me seem very selfish. But Xiao Wu is my younger sister, and she is the only family I have by my side."

"If you are willing to help me save Xiao Wu, I, Tang San, am willing to serve as an ox or a horse for the rest of my life to repay you."

Wu Qi dared not accept Tang San's promise.

The two sides were destined to be enemies; if he were to "threaten" the other party with this promise in the future, he feared it would be a path to self-destruction.

Ning Rongrong snorted coldly, crossing her arms over her chest, "We aren't familiar with you, don't try to play the emotional card. This is the Soul Beast Forest, a place outside the law!"

Wu Qi, however, had a new idea.

If he let Tang San leave, he might encounter the Man-Faced Demon Spider's attack again, and heaven knows if he would obtain the Eight Spider Soul Bone because of it.

Since it was Tang San who took the initiative to beg him, why not do a favor and incidentally ruin the other party's fortuitous encounter!

After all, who told him to be a helpful citizen.

"Tang San, the Titan Giant Ape is one of the overlords of the Star Dou Great Forest. In my opinion, even if we chase after it, we are just throwing our lives away for nothing."

Changing the subject, "However, since you have a request of me, we will not sit idly by."

"Accompanying you to chase it is definitely out of the question, but I see your strength has already reached level thirty; why don't we help you hunt for your third Soul Ring."

"Once you break through to become a Soul Elder, you will have a certain degree of self-preservation ability when you chase after it, and the probability of saving Xiao Wu will be higher, how about it?"

Tang San pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

He had already had this thought when he encountered the Man-Faced Demon Spider earlier.

It is just that, hindered by his limited strength, he is unable to hunt a Soul Beast alone.

Ning Rongrong was puzzled, "Brother Wu Qi, why are you helping him? We..."

Wu Qi did not explain.

This kind of thing could not be explained; he could hardly say that he knew the future developments.

In the original timeline, even though Tang San's camp achieved victory, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was undoubtedly the biggest loser.

One must know that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect provided immense help on Tang San's path of growth, yet how did Tang San repay them!?

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo fell, and the Hidden Weapons in their hands were even reclaimed by Tang San. Moreover, Ning Rongrong and Oscar were taken to the Shen Jie without leaving behind any offspring.

The Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda martial soul that Ning Fengzhi yearned for was also not passed down.

By doing this, Wu Qi was, in a roundabout way, also helping the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect "vent their anger."

"Your martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, right? We encountered a 1,400-year-old Thorn Demon Vine when we arrived. If you are willing, we can go hunt it right now."

Tang San knew that he had no power to choose.

For the sake of Xiao Wu, he had to obtain his third Soul Ring as soon as possible, even if it meant going against the wishes of Yu Xiaogang.

Plant-type Soul Beasts cannot move their bodies before breaking through the 100,000-year threshold.

And low-age plant-type Soul Beasts have a very small attack range.

Wu Qi and the other two attacked simultaneously with Tang San, and they quickly slew the Thorn Demon Vine.

Watching Tang San enter the state of absorbing the Soul Ring, Qiangu Changkong could not help but mutter, "Brother Wu, you usually don't like to meddle in other people's business; why did you think to help Tang San today?"

He always felt that the other party had ulterior motives, but he suffered from having no evidence.

Wu Qi chuckled and explained indifferently, "Tang San is a devoted fellow; fighting for love is worthy of admiration."

"Alright, you should also hurry up and absorb your Soul Ring; don't delay for too long."
