Students had run away like this, three of them in total.
Given Zhao Wuji's personality…
He would definitely want to find them alive or see their corpses.
But…
The big toy Zhuge Lan had just pulled out was simply too fierce!
—He seriously suspected that Zhuge Lan was chasing after them because he had his eye on the hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast, intending to blast it to death and take its soul bone!
Combined with Zhuge Lan's unpredictable movement technique, he probably had other life-saving items.
And Oscar didn't have any flight-enhancing mushroom sausages this time.
All these factors added up…
They'd only be a hindrance if they chased after them.
So, they abandoned the idea.
"Stay here and defend," Zhao Wuji said in a low voice.
"A powerful energy surge just erupted here, and the scent of the Titan Ape still lingers. High-ranking soul beasts won't dare to approach in the short term."
"We'll head back once Zhuge and Tang San return."
He didn't mention Xiao Wu.
After all, it was the Titan Ape that had taken her!
Zhu Zhuqing said nothing, sitting back down with her lips pursed.
Ning Rongrong moved around Zhuge Lan's position and sat on Zhu Zhuqing's other side.
"Everything will be alright!"
Ning Rongrong said with conviction—
"That guy is smart, he won't do anything rash."
"Besides, he's so mysterious, and his talent is so strong; he might even have a Title Douluo following him."
"And that big thing just now, it was so scary!"
"It looked like a soul tool, but are there soul tools this terrifying?"
Ning Rongrong's incessant chatter was actually a sign of her own anxiety.
A Titan Ape!
A mutated beast that could contend with a creature ten thousand years its senior after only a century of growth, how terrifying would it become after a hundred thousand years?
"It's all Xiao Wu's fault!"
Ma Hongjun suddenly cursed.
"If she hadn't stopped him, Brother Lan could have at least driven that Titan Ape away. We wouldn't be in this mess!"
Everyone remained silent.
Their lack of objection served as tacit agreement.
Inside the forest.
Zhuge Lan had already taken off his long robe, now only wearing a pair of shorts.
After activating the Soul Bone Skill, Distant Journey, he used Spiral Nine Shadows to trail behind Tang San.
Easy.
Such a waste, this perfected Spiral Nine Shadows.
He'd forgotten that Oscar had enhanced his soul ring's age, and wouldn't absorb the Phoenix-tailed Cockscomb Snake.
No flight mushroom sausage.
How fast could Tang San be, relying solely on Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track?
Just don't know... If this variable would affect Tang San, causing him to run into the Man Faced Demon Spider.
Chased for a while.
The mental energy he'd left on Zhu Zhuqing dissipated due to the distance.
Zhuge Lan laughed.
The plan had been executed perfectly.
The earlier Tai'a... was naturally fake.
A Level 9 fixed-soul-guidance cannon cost 1,000,000 Mood Points per minute!
Er Ming wouldn't actually hurt them, so why spend the money?
It was...
Mental Domain Simulation!
Although Zhuge Lan hadn't seen Tai'a, he had a system!
1000 Mood Points to perfectly recreate the scene where the cannon fired.
And pitties.
Before he could even hear the boom, Xiao Wu had already rushed forward—which was also within his expectations.
Backed by a mysterious family, Xiao Wu had no choice but to believe.
Could she watch it die, after tens of thousands of years of affection with Er Ming?
Rushing forward was only natural.
Seeing Zhuge Lan's "trump card" like this, Oscar didn't have any Flying Mushroom Sausages either.
The balance of power had shifted.
Zhao Wuji, if he wasn't an idiot, wouldn't be able to catch up.
This allowed Zhuge Lan to easily tail Tang San.
Now, the only question was...
Would the Man Faced Demon Spider appear as expected?
If that didn't work...
He could only pay the system for help.
Just as he was thinking this...
Tang San, exhausted from running, stopped to catch his breath.
His eyes scanned the surroundings, trying to determine the path ahead.
And above him...
It was a giant black spider, over a meter in size. Its eight spear-like legs were three meters long, and its entire body was covered in shiny, black armor.
A Man Faced Demon Spider!
This was the real deal.
Zhuge Lan, confident in his ability to use the 咫尺天涯 (Inch of the World), pulled out a handful of sunflower seeds.
He watched Tang San's "life-or-death battle" from the sidelines.
Because he hadn't competed against Meng Yiran in Soul Power, he hadn't gained an opportunity for a breakthrough.
Tang San was currently at level 29.
Soul Skills, hidden weapons, the Clear Sky Hammer, and the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer.
With all his trump cards played, danger constantly loomed.
He even went all out, breaking through the 30th rank in the midst of battle, and with a desperate strike of his hammer, he fought for a sliver of life, exposing the Man Faced Demon Spider's vulnerable abdomen.
"Dodge, dodge, dodge—"
Zhuge's Repeating Crossbow unleashed a chilling light, its power enough to end the Man Faced Demon Spider.
But… It missed!
Tang San's hand had trembled from swinging the hammer too hard, causing him to miss!
This plunged Tang San into deep despair.
He had given it his all, yet he failed with his most prized hidden weapon? Now, he was at the end of his rope, with nothing left to turn the tables!
He chose to close his eyes and await death.
"Hiss—that—"
The Man Faced Demon Spider roared and lunged, its spider legs about to pierce Tang San.
Zhuge Lan sighed.
What a loser, how can his hands tremble? This is forcing him to act cool, isn't it?
"Beast! Come here!"
A roar.
Tang San was startled, hastily opening his eyes.
The Man Faced Demon Spider, which should have pierced him, instantly appeared a hundred meters away, its two spider legs clamping the Martial Soul, Li Jing's, longsword.
—This weird Soul Skill, besides control, also has forced displacement?
[Mood Points +16666]
"Zzzt—"
The spider leg clamping Li Jing's longsword emitted a scorching red glow, and wisps of smoke rose.
Cooked.
[Mood Points +4444]
"Hiss-crack—"
The Man Faced Demon Spider was enraged. It had more than just two spider legs!
It unfurled its other six legs and launched a突刺 at Zhuge Lan.
Zhuge Lan took the initiative to cancel Li Jing's longsword and summoned Thorn Armor, activating all of his soul rings.
Boom——
Boom——
Boom——
A series of muffled thuds.
The Man Faced Demon Spider's spider legs were all blocked.
The rebounding damage, however, stung it into a hornet's nest.
And that was just the appetizer.
Hatred Curse—Activate!
Wasting Sickness! Enteritis! Dehydration! …
The Man Faced Demon Spider visibly withered.
Until—
Medium Negative Status: Osteoporosis!
"Crack—"
The Man Faced Demon Spider's spider legs broke.
[Mood Points +1111]
Now!
Zhuge Lan used Spiral Nine Shadows, splitting into eight, merging behind the Man Faced Demon Spider, and walked towards Tang San without looking back.
"Crack—"
"Crack—"
"Crack—"
Eight crisp sounds.
The Man Faced Demon Spider, along with the leg it had just lost, shattered inch by inch from the base of its legs, becoming a ball that slammed into the ground.
All it could do was rage impotently.
Zhuge Lan came to Tang San, watching his hand tremble uncontrollably.
He sprinkled a wave of holy light blessings.
"Ah~~~"
[Mood Points +5555]
Following a shameful moan.
Tang San struggled to his feet, offering Zhuge Lan a wry smile.
"You shouldn't have come."
Zhuge Lan rolled his eyes.
"To be honest, I don't like you."
Zhuge Lan spoke frankly.
"But I respect your willingness to pursue the Titan Ape without hesitation for Xiao Wu."
"So I came over just because I felt like it, got it?"
[Mood Points +1111]
Even though he was being berated, Tang San couldn't retort and could only force a bitter smile.
"You broke through level 30, right?"
Zhuge Lan glanced at the Man Faced Demon Spider.
"That thing's from 2003. Your cultivation method is passable, and your physique can take a beating. Grit your teeth, and you should be able to absorb it."
"This will help you recover some Soul Power. I'll go with you a bit further in, and see if we can find…"
Zhuge Lan didn't say anything, just shook his head and sighed.
Everything was understood without words.
[Mood Points +19999]
Tang San's expression dimmed.
How could he not understand?
But he just wasn't willing!
Xiao Wu!
My Xiao Wu…
