Of the remaining people, two were on the verge of breaking under the terrifying torment.
Those two were Ning Rongrong and Oscar. Their strength was weaker, and their courage was also less. Seeing Tang San, Ma Hongjun, and Zhao Wuji suffer one after another, they were completely despondent, their faces ashen.
In this kind of desperate situation, it was as if they were calling out to the heavens and the earth, but no one answered.
Dai Mubai wasn't doing much better. Despair slowly crept into his eerie eyes.
Zhu Zhuqing's body trembled slightly. Although her expression was hidden behind her mask, her eyes revealed her fear.
Ao Tian and his two companions remained silent, their expressions calm.
In this critical moment, Dai Mubai and the others didn't notice the behavior of Ao Tian's group. They were on the verge of death; how could they have the mind to pay attention to others?
The Titan Great Ape's gaze fixed on them, sending shivers down their spines, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
Ao Tian's lips slowly curled into a smile, glancing at Dai Mubai and the others.
The Titan Great Ape nodded slightly and said, "I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give you a chance to live."
Dai Mubai and the others' eyes suddenly brightened, igniting hope.
Er Ming's huge finger pointed at Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing, and said, "Two of you must die, and two can live. I wonder if anyone is willing to sacrifice themselves to help others?"
Ning Rongrong couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears, saying, "I don't want to die. If I die, my father will be very sad, and my two grandfathers will also be very sad."
Zhu Zhuqing bit her lip tightly, not speaking. Her cold, clear eyes held fear, but also a hint of relief.
If she could die here, wouldn't it be a kind of release for her?
These twelve years of her life had been truly exhausting.
Dai Mubai and Oscar didn't speak, but their expressions clearly showed their struggle.
"Is there no one willing to die for another?" Er Ming asked loudly.
The four people didn't speak. Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing would be strange if they were willing to die for Oscar and Dai Mubai; they already disliked Dai Mubai and Oscar very much.
Er Ming's huge finger reached out in front of Oscar, causing Oscar's heart to beat faster, and he said in terror, "Titan Great Ape, don't kill me."
Er Ming said playfully, "I heard that you humans are loyal and righteous. Aren't you willing to sacrifice yourself for your companions?"
Oscar looked at Ning Rongrong with a complicated expression, then shook his head firmly.
Rongrong, I'm sorry. Since you've never accepted my pursuit, why should I die for you? Oscar thought to himself.
Xiao Wu shouted from the side, "Oscar, don't you like Rongrong? Since you like her, why aren't you willing to die for her?"
Being exposed so bluntly by Xiao Wu, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Oscar's face, but he fell silent, lowered his head, and looked at no one.
"Hehe, interesting." Er Ming moved his finger with a laugh, pointing at Dai Mubai, and asked, "What about you? Are you willing to die in place of your companions?"
Dai Mubai was much more decisive than Oscar, shaking his head, he said, "I'm not willing. I want to live."
As a prince of the Star Luo Empire, how could he die for others? In the end, he didn't have a deep bond with his classmates.
He looked at Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing, saying, "I'm sorry, I have reasons to live."
Ning Rongrong, who had been crying just now, was immediately furious, and shouted, "Don't we have reasons to live? You even claim to like Xiao Qing, acting all affectionate in front of us every day. It's disgusting."
Dai Mubai looked at Zhu Zhuqing and said, "Xiao Qing, I'm sorry. You know my identity, and you should understand that I must live. Don't worry, I will help take care of your family in the future."
"Screw your bullshit, I've never seen such a hypocritical person. Is your life precious, but other people's lives are cheap?" Ning Rongrong cursed.
Er Ming pointed his finger at Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, and asked, "What about you two? Are you willing to die for your companions?"
"Not willing!" Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing said almost in unison.
"Heh heh, interesting. Then I'll choose myself. Two dead, two alive."
Dai Mubai and the other three's hearts leaped into their throats.
Dai Mubai hastily said, "Respected Forest King, Titan Great Ape, I am a prince of the Star Luo Empire. My family is very wealthy, and I can send you a lot of treasures."
Seeing that Er Ming didn't speak, but instead revealed a mocking expression, he hurriedly spoke again, "If you like to eat people, I can also send a lot in to serve you. Men, women, young, old, whatever flavor you like, I'll send it."
On the verge of death, how could he care about his face and image? Staying alive was the most important thing. Once he was dead, there was nothing left.
As for whether he would send people in to the Titan Great Ape after leaving this place alive, wouldn't it be up to him?
Er Ming sneered, "What selfish humans."
It reached out and pointed at Dai Mubai and Oscar, saying, "Then it's you two. You two must die!"
As soon as it finished speaking, Oscar and Dai Mubai felt as if the sky was collapsing, their faces changing drastically.
"No!" Oscar screamed in terror.
Dai Mubai's face was ashen; he couldn't accept the fate that awaited him.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, on the other hand, wore expressions of satisfaction. The two fellows' predicament made them feel quite relieved.
Especially Dai Mubai's fate; it was truly satisfying. They had never seen such a despicable and selfish person, who even wanted to send people in to be eaten by soul beasts. He didn't deserve to be human; he was worse than a beast.
Er Ming swung a palm towards Dai Mubai and Oscar. The huge palm pressed against the air, producing a rumbling sound, like thunder, and the momentum was terrifying.
"No!" Dai Mubai and Oscar shouted in terror simultaneously.
Before their shouts could cease, they were slapped away by Er Ming, flying into the dense forest.
Er Ming smacked his lips a few times, feeling somewhat unsatisfied, but that was all he could do.
It looked at Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, saying, "I had a great time today. I'll let you off this once. If you dare to come to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts again, don't even think about leaving alive."
After saying that, its huge body parted the trees and strode towards the depths of the forest, quickly disappearing from Ning Rongrong and the others' sight.
It was only then that Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing breathed a sigh of relief, their bodies immediately collapsing to the ground, gasping for air.
Their clothes were already soaked with sweat. Everything that had just happened was truly terrifying; they had walked on the edge of death.
They might never forget what happened today.
"Xiao Qing, Rongrong, are you alright?" Xiao Wu walked over.
"We're fine, just a little frightened," Ning Rongrong said.
Then, she added, "I must tell my father and grandfather about what happened today when I get home. This is a rare experience."
Xiao Wu, Ao Tian, Gu Yue Na, and Zhu Zhuqing were all speechless. They had been scared pale just moments ago, and now they were already thinking about going home to brag. Their hearts were truly vast.
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly looked up, gazing at Ao Tian and the other two, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Sister Xiao Wu, why are you, Ao Tian, and Sister Na'er so calm?"
This was truly strange. Although she hadn't paid much attention to Xiao Wu and the other two just now, the Titan Great Ape had only just left. Xiao Wu and the other two seemed completely unfazed.
