Chapter 25 Titan Ape Suddenly Appears, Su Mo Chases After Him at All Costs.
A massive figure approached the group, and Tang San exclaimed in terror:
"King of the Forest, Titan Ape!"
Zhao Wuji quickly spoke up, expressing goodwill: "Respected King of the Forest, we are willing to leave your territory now."
The Titan Ape was entirely black, with explosive muscles covering its entire body, and its lantern-sized eyes gleaming with golden light.
Its eyes seemed to be looking at something, and it actually took another step towards the crowd.
Zhao Wuji's mind raced, unsure of what to do.
He would rather fight a Title Douluo than clash with the behemoth before him.
"I'll block it, you guys eat Oscar's mushroom sausages and get out of here!"
Zhao Wuji said in a deep voice, and quickly released his martial spirit.
Dai Mubai spoke first, "You guys go first, I'll help Teacher Zhao."
The others were equally determined, and none of them tried to escape.
Except for Ning Rongrong.
Her face was deathly pale, and she had only one thought in her mind.
That is to escape.
Countless attacks rained down on the Titan Ape, but to it, they were barely even a tickle.
Oscar quickly made mushroom sausages, ready to retreat at any moment.
The Titan Ape then threw a punch at Zhao Wuji, who was the strongest among them.
With a muffled thud, Zhao Wuji, known as the Immovable King, was sent flying over a hundred meters, crashing into countless trees before finally coming to a stop.
"roar!"
The Titan Ape roared, and a layer of black energy burst forth from its body.
Everyone was thrown several meters away, while Ning Rongrong and Oscar fainted immediately.
The Titan Ape suddenly leaped up, then landed heavily on its back.
Apart from Su Mo, everyone else was seriously injured, and Ning Rongrong almost lost her life.
It suddenly stretched out its arm and grabbed Xiao Wu directly.
It immediately leaped up and disappeared into the forest.
"No!!"
Tang San stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the back of the giant creature.
Su Mo released his sword light shield early on, so he was not seriously injured.
He stared intently at the Titan Ape's retreating figure, unsure whether he should give chase.
Suddenly, the system's mechanical voice sounded.
[A major change has been detected. Please make a choice quickly.]
Option 1: I'll just mind my own business; what do I care about the lives of others?
[Reward: Loss of fifth spirit ring, spirit power level -2]
Option Two: Chase after Xiao Wu at all costs and rescue her.
[Reward: A five-minute trial card for a Level 96 Super Douluo character, plus a +3 Soul Power level.]
Su Mo's lips twitched involuntarily. This option one is called a reward?
Without further hesitation, the value of five minutes of Super Douluo's power was self-evident. Although it was only level 96, it was enough to give Tang Hao a run for his money.
He picked up the mushroom sausage Oscar was holding and put it in his mouth.
Illusory wings appeared, and he chased after the direction where the Titan Ape had disappeared.
After flying for more than ten seconds, the towering figure came into Su Mo's view.
However, the speed of these wings was far slower than that of the Titan Ape, and they couldn't catch up with it at all.
Xiao Wu seemed to have seen Su Mo as well, and shook her head repeatedly, signaling him not to follow.
Su Mo didn't say anything, but silently followed.
A few seconds later, the wings disappeared.
Su Mo used the newly acquired soul skill, Netherworld Shadow Escape.
He and the sword transformed into a black shadow, instantly catching up with the Titan Ape's pace.
Seeing Su Mo approaching, Xiao Wu hurriedly shouted, "Su Mo, don't chase after me!"
"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you!"
Su Mo shouted loudly.
After saying that, he used his third soul skill, Sword Soaring Through the Nine Heavens.
The Shadow Step technique consumes too much soul power; flying more than 10,000 meters will deplete one's soul power. Only by flying on a sword can one continue the pursuit.
The chase between the man and the ape lasted for more than ten kilometers.
Only after confirming that Su Mo was the only one left chasing after them did Xiao Wu speak to the Titan Giant Ape:
"Erming, stop running. The people chasing you aren't bad guys."
"And he also knows my identity as a soul beast."
Upon hearing this, the Titan Ape stopped and put Xiao Wu down from its palm.
Then he stared intently at Su Mo.
Seeing this, Su Mo finally felt relieved.
If the Titan Ape continues running, he will definitely be left behind due to insufficient soul power.
Xiao Wu ran quickly toward Su Mo, tears welling in her eyes.
"Do you know how dangerous that was? Erming could have killed you with one slap."
Su Mo simply smiled faintly.
"As long as you're alright, it seems to be your friend?"
Xiao Wu couldn't hold back her tears, and her voice trembled with sobs.
"Why are you being so reckless? What if there's real danger?"
Su Mo patted Xiao Wu's head and comforted her:
"Even if there's real danger, I'll still save you."
"roar!"
The Titan Ape suddenly let out a low growl and looked warily at Su Mo's left hand.
"Don't worry, Erming, he's my good friend."
Erming leaned down to look at Su Mo; its head was even larger than Su Mo's body.
It stared intently at Su Mo with its clear yellow eyes, its heavy breathing rising and falling.
Su Mo's breathing became faster and faster, and cold sweat soaked his back.
Erming's strength is terrifying; even if he used the Title Douluo experience card, he would have no chance of winning.
He could only gamble, gambling on Erming's trust in Xiaowu, and on his own trust.
Soul beasts harbor unimaginable hostility towards soul masters, not to mention that Erming's intelligence is comparable to that of humans.
Su Mo's breathing grew heavier and heavier. This Titan Giant Ape was the strongest creature he had ever encountered. Even the pressure that Sword Douluo had put on him back then was not this great.
Meanwhile, Erming's head was getting closer and closer, as if it would swallow Su Mo whole at any moment.
Su Mo looked at Xiao Wu nervously; the Titan Ape's hostility towards humans had exceeded his expectations.
He thought that with Xiao Wu around, there would be no danger whatsoever.
"don't want!"
Xiao Wu suddenly stretched out her arms and blocked Su Mo's way.
The Titan Ape, however, was still unwilling to give up and actually reached out to grab Su Mo.
"Erming, he is my love!"
Xiao Wu spoke again.
But the moment she finished speaking, she lowered her head shyly.
The Titan Ape then stopped using its right hand and gave Su Mo a deep look.
It was filled with resentment. The two brothers had been fighting each other for so many years, only to have a human succeed in the end.
Su Mo was also taken aback and looked at Xiao Wu.
He didn't expect Xiao Wu to be so direct.
But he pressed his advantage, saying with a smile, "That's right, we are lovers."
The Titan Ape stayed by Xiao Wu's side, reluctant to leave.
Xiao Wu made no attempt to hide it, and actually began to condense her soul rings right in front of Su Mo.
She sat cross-legged, radiating a red glow.
A purple spirit ring slowly appeared and surrounded her.
Before long, Xiao Wu successfully absorbed the soul ring and broke through to the Soul Master level.
Her skills have changed, and her figure has become more voluptuous.
"Your spirit rings?"
Su Mo asked, feigning confusion.
Xiao Wu patiently answered her questions.
Seeing Xiao Wu successfully condense her soul ring, Er Ming left the place dejectedly.
"Walk?"
Su Mo stood on the sword and asked with a smile.
"Walk!"
Xiao Wu jumped onto the Myriad Shadows Sword, stood behind Su Mo, and then hugged Su Mo tightly.
A soft mass pressed against his back, leaving Su Mo momentarily stunned.
He hadn't expected that Xiao Wu's condensed spirit ring would have this effect.
