72: Chapter 72 Titan Ape, Xiao Wu's Scheme

The next morning.

After treatment and a night of rest, Ma Hongjun's movements were no longer significantly hindered.

Led by Zhao Wuji, the Shrek group entered the Star Dou Great Forest as originally planned.

When they found a Spirit Beast for Oscar, they happened to encounter Meng Yiran and the Snake Granny.

The two sides got into a dispute over the possession of the thousand-year Phoenix-Tail Cockscomb Serpent.

In the end, Shrek won the rights to the Spirit Beast through a competition.

After Oscar successfully absorbed the spirit ring, Tang San's Soul Power also reached a Breakthrough to level thirty.

Just as everyone was looking for a spirit ring for Tang San, a loud noise came from deep within the forest.

The massive figure of the Titan Giant Ape suddenly appeared, its powerful pressure making the Shrek group feel suffocated.

Xiao Wu hid behind the group, gazing at the Titan Giant Ape.

She remembered the group from Spirit Hall at the hotel yesterday.

The appearance of the Spirit Douluo yesterday had made her anxious all night, fearing her identity would be exposed.

Coupled with her mother's tragic death at the hands of Spirit Hall, this made her hate that group from yesterday to the bone.

A thought arose in Xiao Wu's mind; she wanted to have Er Ming take action and kill them!

While Xiao Wu was calculating, the Titan Giant Ape suddenly roared, and its huge palm quickly snatched her away.

"Xiao Wu!"

Tang San's eyes were bloodshot; he watched helplessly as Xiao Wu was carried off, unable to stop it in time.

"No—let go of Xiao Wu!"

Tang San roared, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins.

Afterward, the Shrek group fought fiercely with the Titan Giant Ape.

But the disparity in strength was too great; even though Tang San exhausted his Hidden Weapons, they could not harm it in the slightest.

In the end, they could only watch as the Titan Giant Ape disappeared into the dense forest with Xiao Wu.

Tang San suppressed his grief, asked Oscar for a Flying Mushroom Sausage, and chased after them alone.

...

On the other side, the Titan Giant Ape placed Xiao Wu on its shoulder.

"Er Ming, they are all my friends, how could you hurt them?" Xiao Wu pouted and complained.

The Titan Giant Ape let out a low roar, lowering its head like a child who had done something wrong.

Seeing Er Ming's honest appearance, Xiao Wu's tone softened: "Alright, Er Ming, you are not allowed to do that next time."

The Titan Giant Ape then lifted its huge head.

Xiao Wu immediately changed the subject and said indignantly: "By the way, Er Ming, a group of people from Spirit Hall bullied me yesterday. They are hunting Spirit Beasts; go help me kill them, okay?"

"Roar—"

The Titan Giant Ape was furious, pounding its chest with both fists and roaring at the sky.

People from Spirit Hall? Daring to bully Big Sister Xiao Wu! He must crush them!

"Er Ming, we will go find them now!"

...

In another part of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Lin Xiu had just finished absorbing his fourth spirit ring, with a look of joy on his face.

Previously, they had encountered a twenty-thousand-year-old Diamond Tiger, whose strength rivaled that of a Spirit Emperor.

With Ji Xuan not having taken action.

Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and the other team members cooperated tacitly, relying on exquisite tactics to fight a fierce battle, and finally heavily injured and repelled it.

Afterward, they hunted a suitable thousand-year Spirit Beast for Lin Xiu, and the whole process went quite smoothly.

Instructor Zhou Long scanned the group and said with satisfaction: "Everyone performed well this time. Lin Xiu has finished absorbing the spirit ring, so we will return now."

"Yes, Instructor Zhou Long." The Spirit Hall group replied in unison.

Ji Xuan's eyes flickered, and he was already calculating the timing to leave the team.

He still had to find that little punk and take the external Spirit Bone, the Eight Spider Lances.

However, just as Ji Xuan was secretly planning.

A vibration suddenly came from deep within the forest, trees collapsed one after another, startling birds into scattering in all directions.

"This... what is happening?"

Xu Yu couldn't help but exclaim in shock, and the other team members also showed expressions of vigilance.

Instructor Zhou Long's expression instantly became serious; his intuition told him that something was definitely unusual.

He released his Spirit and said in a deep voice: "All members, be on alert!"

The Spirit Hall group immediately released their Spirits, staring nervously into the depths of the dense forest.

Xie Yue protected his sister in front of him, his eyes sharp.

Although Hu Liena remained calm, her slightly furrowed eyebrows still exposed her inner tension.

Soon, the mountain-like figure of the Titan Giant Ape rushed out and appeared before them.

Ji Xuan was puzzled; why would the Titan Giant Ape come here?

When he caught a glimpse of the figure on the Titan Giant Ape's shoulder, he immediately understood.

It must be that old rabbit, because of what happened yesterday, who had the Titan Giant Ape come for revenge.

"This... this is the King of the Forest, the Titan Giant Ape?!" Instructor Zhou Long's expression changed drastically. "Shouldn't it be in the core area? Why would it appear here?"

Upon hearing this, the Spirit Hall group all changed color.

The Titan Giant Ape was a one-hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast; its strength was enough to rival a Super Douluo.

And when they saw Xiao Wu, their pupils shook even more violently.

"It's her?" Zhang Ping exclaimed in shock, pointing at Xiao Wu. "Isn't she from Shrek Academy?"

Instructor Zhou Long suddenly thought of something, his eyes fixed tightly on Xiao Wu.

A moment later, Instructor Zhou Long's pupils shook violently, and he said with a trembling voice: "She... she is a one-hundred-thousand-year transformed Spirit Beast!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone stared at Xiao Wu in disbelief.

They never expected that the girl in front of them was actually a one-hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast.

"Hmph, weren't you quite arrogant yesterday? What, scared now?"

Xiao Wu sat on Er Ming's shoulder, swinging her legs leisurely, looking at the shocked Spirit Hall group with a playful smile on her face.

In her view, the strongest person in this Spirit Hall group was a Spirit Douluo; with Er Ming's strength, killing them was simply easy as pie.

Precisely because of this, she was so fearless, not at all worried about her identity being exposed.

"You hurry and leave! I will hold it off!"

Instructor Zhou Long shouted, showing an expression of being prepared to die.

He never expected to encounter a one-hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast in the outer forest.

These young people behind him were the future hope of Spirit Hall, and he absolutely could not let anything happen to them.

The Spirit Hall group looked at each other, but not a single person moved a step.

Seeing that everyone was unmoved, Instructor Zhou Long anxiously shouted again: "Go! If you don't leave now, none of us will be able to leave! Once you are strong enough in the future, then avenge me!"

"Want to leave? Dream on!" Xiao Wu sneered. "Er Ming, kill them!"

"Roar—"

The Titan Giant Ape roared, and a terrifying gravity instantly enveloped the entire scene.

Ji Xuan groaned, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

The powerful pressure forced him to one knee, his Sword of Order deeply inserted into the ground, only then barely supporting his body.

The other team members were pressed to the ground by this terrifying gravity; those with weaker cultivation were already bleeding from their mouths and noses, and even lifting their heads became extremely difficult.

Hu Liena gritted her teeth, trying to get up, but found she couldn't even lift a finger, and could only lie on the ground unwillingly.

Xie Yue wanted to use his Moon Blades to prop himself up, but his arms were trembling violently.

"It's over."

Instructor Zhou Long also endured the pressure and knelt on the ground.

Even as a Spirit Douluo, he was struggling so much, let alone the others.

In the current situation, they were afraid not one of them would be able to escape!
