14: Chapter 14 Titan Ape Appears, Su Ling Saves Zhu Zhuqing

After Oscar successfully absorbed his spirit ring, the next ones were Tang San and Xiao Wu. Su Ling had high requirements for the age of his spirit ring.

Furthermore, the current area was filled with thousand-year-old Spirit Beasts, so it was better to focus on searching for them.

However, Xiao Wu was a Spirit Beast in human form; she did not need to absorb spirit rings, as she could condense them herself.

Under these circumstances, Xiao Wu's situation was quite awkward. However, Su Ling knew that before long, the Titan Giant Ape would come to take Xiao Wu away.

All problems would be solved!

The ten of them continued to set off in search of suitable Spirit Beasts, but less than an hour after they started moving, the entire Star Dou Great Forest suddenly became extremely quiet.

Su Ling occasionally observed Xiao Wu. From the look on her face, it was not hard to tell that perhaps she had already anticipated this.

"Everyone, be careful. I have a feeling that something is wrong," Flender said.

Just at that moment, the ground began to tremble; the Titan Giant Ape had arrived.

"Watch out!" Flender and Zhao Wuji took the initiative to step forward, shielding everyone behind them.

Zhao Wuji protected his body with the Vigorous Vajra Bear Spirit, while Flender released his Spirit and quickly flew into the air to observe the movement ahead.

"Not good."

Flender caught sight of the massive Titan Giant Ape in the distance at a glance.

"Run! Everyone, run for your lives out of the Star Dou Great Forest! Quickly!"

Flender immediately landed and added, "It's too late. Zhao Wuji and I will hold it off; you all need to leave quickly."

"Go!" Su Ling urged quickly. Although he knew the Titan Giant Ape would not hurt them, he still had to put on a show.

Yet, sometimes, the more critical the moment, the more someone would cause trouble.

"Are you afraid? It's just some Spirit Beasts. I will fight them together with the Dean and Teacher Zhao," Dai Mubai said.

Perhaps he wanted to distinguish himself from Su Ling.

"Get out of here, all of you!" Flender shouted.

"Let's go, it's too late." Tang San also spoke up. He had activated his Purple Demon Eye and saw the Titan Giant Ape. In that very instant, they had missed the best opportunity to escape.

While they were speaking, a gust of wind struck. The Titan Giant Ape appeared before them; now it was truly too late.

The Titan Giant Ape looked like a monkey and also like a chimpanzee, with eyes as large as lanterns and a pitch-black body.

Not only was its body massive, but every part of it was covered in terrifying, powerful muscles, with each muscle bulge resembling a small hill.

"The Titan Giant Ape!" Su Ling revealed the answer directly.

Flender and Zhao Wuji did not attack immediately; after all, the Titan Giant Ape had not attacked them after appearing.

Therefore, Flender took the initiative to speak, "Respected King of the Forest, if we have blocked your path, we apologize. We will leave immediately."

After speaking, Flender and Zhao Wuji began to try to retreat.

Just then, the Titan Giant Ape suddenly opened its large mouth and blew out a gust of wind.

Flender and Zhao Wuji were fine, but it was very difficult for the others.

Su Ling quickly grabbed Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, who were beside him. As for Xiao Wu, she was a bit further away, so he could not look after her.

Dai Mubai had originally wanted to grab Zhu Zhuqing, but since Su Ling had acted first, his attempt was in vain.

Su Ling pulled the two of them over, effectively holding one in each arm, and struggled to stabilize his footing. Seeing Su Ling holding Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai immediately shouted loudly, "Su Ling, let go of Zhuqing."

Yet his voice seemed insignificant under the force of the wind and no one heard him.

Following that, the Titan Giant Ape slammed its hands into the ground, making it seem as if the earth were about to collapse.

The Titan Giant Ape ignored Flender and Zhao Wuji and headed straight in Xiao Wu's direction.

Its purpose was actually very simple: it was just to take Xiao Wu away.

Flender and Zhao Wuji immediately moved to block the Titan Giant Ape.

"Rongrong, Support us."

Su Ling didn't care anymore; since the danger level wasn't high, he might as well put on a show, so he also released his Water Moon Bow Spirit.

Everyone released their Spirits, including Xiao Wu.

Su Ling raised the Water Moon Bow and shot at the Titan Giant Ape. Ma Hongjun also fired his Phoenix Fire Wire, along with Tang San's Blue Silver Grass, Dai Mubai's White Tiger Light Wave, and so on.

Everyone joined forces to attack, but these attacks were at most like a tickle to the Titan Giant Ape.

Meanwhile, Zhao Wuji and Flender both released their Martial Soul Avatars.

Under the Martial Soul Avatar, Zhao Wuji's Vigorous Vajra Palm struck toward the Titan Giant Ape, but the Titan Giant Ape simply swung its forearm and sent Zhao Wuji flying.

Fortunately, the Titan Giant Ape did not use much force and did not cause much harm to Zhao Wuji; it seemed to have received instructions from Xiao Wu not to hurt anyone.

However, since someone was blocking it from taking Xiao Wu, the Titan Giant Ape had no choice but to push them back.

After Zhao Wuji was pushed back, Flender suffered the same fate; his Spirit Ability had no effect on the Titan Giant Ape, and he was also knocked away by it.

Only the eight of them, including Su Ling, remained in front.

Surprisingly, Xiao Wu actually took the initiative to attack and rushed out directly.

"Xiao Wu, don't go!" Tang San shouted, but Xiao Wu did not stop at all.

To the others, her Spirit Ability was for close-quarters combat, so it was normal for Xiao Wu to approach the Titan Giant Ape to attack.

Little did they know that Xiao Wu was rushing up voluntarily to let the Titan Giant Ape take her away, so that this battle could end.

Seeing that Xiao Wu had gone up, Zhu Zhuqing felt embarrassed to stay where she was, so she followed and rushed over.

She also lacked long-range attacks and needed to get close to use Hell Rush Stab and her other moves to be effective.

Xiao Wu was in no danger going up, but the same could not be said for Zhu Zhuqing.

If the Titan Giant Ape didn't control its strength well, how could Zhu Zhuqing withstand it?

With Ning Rongrong's Support, Su Ling immediately accelerated and rushed out.

Dai Mubai's reaction was slightly slower. Xiao Wu was caught by the Titan Giant Ape as soon as she went up. Zhu Zhuqing's attack hit the Titan Giant Ape, but it had no effect; it didn't even count as scratching it.

Instead, as the Titan Giant Ape turned around, due to its massive size, its huge body pressed over.

Oh no!

Zhu Zhuqing knew she was in danger, but it was too late to escape. In desperation, she could only use her hands to block.

Just before the massive body of the Titan Giant Ape struck, a hand grabbed her and threw her away.

Whose hand could it be if not Su Ling's?

With a bang, Su Ling was sent flying by the Titan Giant Ape's turning body.

"Brother Su!" Ning Rongrong cried out.

Meanwhile, the Titan Giant Ape grabbed Xiao Wu and ran off just like that. Tang San immediately gave chase; how could he care about anyone else at this moment?

Dai Mubai also came to Zhu Zhuqing's side and said, "Zhuqing, are you okay?"

However, at this moment, Zhu Zhuqing ignored him and immediately ran toward Su Ling.

Su Ling had been knocked flying into a large tree ten meters away and fell down.

"Brother Su, are you okay?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.

Su Ling said, "It's not a big problem, just some scrapes."

When he was hit, Su Ling used his hand to dissipate some of the force.

This resulted in some scrapes on his arm, but these were just superficial wounds.

Fortunately, this was just a quick turn by the Titan Giant Ape and not an attack, so Su Ling's current body could withstand it.

"It's good that you're okay!"

"Your arm, let me help you treat it," Zhu Zhuqing offered.

"Zhuqing, let me do it." After Dai Mubai finished speaking, he actually took the initiative to come up and treat Su Ling's wound.

"No need. Xiao Wu has been taken; what does this little injury of mine count for?" Su Ling looked toward the direction where the Titan Giant Ape and Xiao Wu had disappeared.

Flender spread a pair of wings and said, "You all rest here. I'll go take a look. Zhao Wuji, you protect them well."

[Ding... Ning Rongrong's favorability +2, obtained white treasure chest *2]

"A black treasure chest?"

To think a black treasure chest actually dropped; it's so rare.

[Ding... Zhu Zhuqing's favorability is greater than or equal to 70. After the host gains favorability, you are guaranteed to obtain at least a yellow treasure chest. The drop rate for purple and black treasure chests is increased by two times.]

Su Ling looked at Zhu Zhuqing's individual profile panel again; it was different from before.
