Chapter 74 The Titan Ape Attacks

After some discussion, the three factions decided on the order of their night watch.

Shi Nian kept watch during the first half of the night, while Zhao Wuji kept watch at midnight.

The strongest Soul Douluo, Meng Shu, was on guard for the second half of the night.

The first half of the night passed peacefully without incident.

"Zhao Wuji, come out and change shifts."

"Looks like we're in pretty good shape. I guess nothing serious will happen tonight."

Awakened, Zhao Wuji rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked out of his tent.

"I hope so." Shi Nian glanced at Zhao Wuji and then walked back into his tent.

The intense mental focus he had just exerted during the reconnaissance and vigilance had taken a toll on him.

Fortunately, they ran into Zhao Wuji and his group and Long Gong's group, so they could stick together for warmth; otherwise, they really wouldn't have been able to cope.

"Sigh. What on earth happened in this Star Dou Great Forest?"

When the night watch began, Zhao Wuji even took out a moon lotus seed to eat, hoping to refresh himself and replenish his energy.

He showed no sign of slack and began to concentrate fully on keeping watch during the night.

After discussing the order of the night watch, still harboring doubts, he privately went to ask Shi Nian and the Dragon God and Snake Goddess about the situation.

We didn't ask in public because we were afraid that if the situation was serious, it would affect the children's mindset and cause even greater panic.

However, after asking the question, Zhao Wuji felt that what he had just done was absolutely correct.

Because the situation inside the Star Dou Great Forest is even more dangerous than they claim.

The situation in the outer, more peripheral area where they are now is much better.

And so, time passed little by little.

The night in the Star Dou Great Forest remained as peaceful as before, with no soul beasts intruding and no accidents occurring.

Just when I thought there wouldn't be any major problems tonight.

Suddenly, Zhao Wuji, a Beast Soul Master, sensed a special soul beast aura coming from afar.

This immediately alerted him.

"Wake up, everyone! Get up!"

A deep, penetrating growl emanated from his mouth, echoing throughout all the tents in the camp.

Because of the fact that Long Gong and Shi Nian had been given a heads-up beforehand.

Therefore, the students at Shrek Academy also have very light sleep.

The moment Zhao Wuji called out, they woke up, got out of their sleeping bags, and quickly crawled out of the tent.

Meanwhile, the group from Canghui Academy, along with Long Gong and the other two, gathered immediately after waking up from Zhao Wuji's shout.

"Brother Zhao, have you discovered something?"

Long Gong Meng Shu walked up to Zhao Wuji and asked him questions.

Although he was the most powerful being present, his perception was not much stronger than Zhao Wuji's due to his old age and the fact that he possessed a weapon spirit.

"It's just that a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast accidentally wandered in. What's there to worry about? Don't you even know how many people we have here?"

Shi Nian didn't seem to have much worry and answered for Zhao Wuji with ease.

They didn't even release their martial spirit to sense and investigate.

In his view, this was probably the only possible outcome.

How strong can a soul beast that escapes from the inner perimeter really be?

It might be difficult to deal with them alone, but things are different now, and our side has a very strong lineup.

One Soul Emperor, two Soul Saints, and one Soul Douluo.

Unless encountering special circumstances, such as a unique and powerful soul beast, one can roam freely even in the inner perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Well, the underestimating Shi Nian didn't realize at this moment what kind of terrifying soul beast they were about to face.

"Although we don't know what kind of soul beast it is, let's still go and try to catch up first," Zhao Wuji suggested.

"Yes, in my opinion, it's better to avoid trouble. It's best to avoid fighting to prevent further complications," Snake Granny Chaotianxiang said at this moment.

"Alright."

And so, Zhao Wuji and the others each released their own aura.

They were trying to tell the unknown soul beast that there were many powerful humans here, and that it was not someone to be trifled with, hoping to make it leave on its own.

Similarly, this is also a deterrent action, warning nearby spirit beasts that they are not to be trifled with.

Soon, under Zhao Wuji's perception, that peculiar aura of the soul beast truly disappeared.

Everyone genuinely believed that the crisis had been resolved without any real danger, and went back to sleep.

"Wait, if anything unexpected happens, quickly notify Tang San and the others. We need to run immediately," Zhao Wuji whispered to Su Ming.

Intuitively, Zhao Wuji felt uneasy.

And the appearance and disappearance of this soul beast's aura were just too strange.

As for why not run now?

The reason is simple: the Starry Sky Forest at night is several times more dangerous than during the day, and is filled with even more killing intent.

There will be even more things to consider and face, the most direct being the encounter with even fiercer and more terrifying soul beasts.

Moreover, the students' abilities were not very strong.

Operating at night, Zhao Wuji inevitably finds himself stretched thin and unable to take care of everyone.

Given these combined factors, they would not abandon this excellent campsite unless absolutely necessary.

If we really encounter any dangerous situation, we can only take the risk once in the Starry Sky Forest at night.

"Understood." Su Ming nodded, then quietly informed the Shrek group before returning to the campfire.

"What's wrong? Aren't you going to sleep?" Zhao Wuji asked, slightly puzzled.

Su Ming turned to look at the silent forest in the distance and said half-jokingly, "I just wanted to see if Teacher Zhao's intuition was accurate. If it is, maybe I can lend a hand."

"Pah, pah, pah, don't jinx it."

Zhao Wuji's intuition was quite accurate.

This was the first thought that flashed through Su Ming's mind.

Unfortunately, this guy thought it was just an ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

That makes sense, really. Who could have predicted that the Titan Ape, the king of the forest, would appear on the edge of the outer zone?

Moreover, this was a 100,000-year-old Titan ape.

If you tell anyone, they'll think you're joking. It's like something out of a fairy tale.

But the reality is just that absurd.

Moreover, Su Ming had already deduced the whole story from the Titan Ape's actions just now.

He deliberately exposed his aura simply to attract Xiao Wu's attention and meet her.

Then they began to conceal their presence again, probably because they were afraid of scaring Zhao Wuji and the others away, and causing Xiao Wu to leave as well.

Before long, the two tall trees slowly parted, and an enormous figure silently emerged from them.

Looking at this enormous creature, Zhao Wuji seemed to stop breathing.

This is a soul beast that exists like a mountain.

"Wake up, everyone! Get up now!" came the roar from Zhao Wuji's mouth.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Wuji, as if facing a formidable enemy, exuded an extremely cold and fierce aura.

The Martial Soul Mighty Vajra Bear completed its possession in an instant.

With Su Ming's prior warning, the Shrek group emerged from the tent faster than the others.

Then they saw this incredibly huge soul beast.

"King of the Forest, Titan Ape!"

The well-informed Tang San recognized the type of this big guy almost immediately.

The Titan Giant Ape is undoubtedly a dominant force among soul beasts.

In the forest, he is the absolute king.

"Your Majesty, King of the Forest, we have no intention of offending you. If this is your territory, we are willing to withdraw immediately."

Even though Zhao Wuji had used his Martial Soul to enhance his abilities, he still harbored a glimmer of hope and humbled himself, trying to escape unscathed.

Titan Apes can understand human speech, especially this being whose cultivation level has exceeded ten thousand years.

Instead of running away, it would be better to try to communicate; perhaps there's still a chance for things to turn around.

Because the chances of escaping from a Titan Giant Ape with over ten thousand years of cultivation are extremely slim.

It can only be said that plans can't keep up with changes. The sudden appearance of the Titan Ape completely disrupted Zhao Wuji's original arrangements.

The latest novel is first published here!

"What! A Titan Ape!"

The Dragon Lord Meng Shu, who had just come out, was so frightened by the arrival of the Titan Giant Ape that he even stammered a little.

There was no way around it; the Titan Ape's reputation was simply too great. It was said that anyone who had encountered this kind of spirit beast had died.

"Xiaomeng, forget about everyone else, hurry up and go."

Shi Nian's face turned solemn, and he immediately sent a secret message to his grandson.

Unlike Shrek and Dragon Lord, his only concern is Meng Qiuzhen.

In such a critical moment, all the other students from the foreign language department could be completely abandoned.

The best thing is being able to escape with my grandson.

The Dragon God and Snake Goddess had similar thoughts; if things went wrong, they would immediately take their granddaughter and flee.

If you really have to face a Titan Ape with over ten thousand years of cultivation, it's better to fight it out in the deadly forest.

So what if they have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill that can rival a Title Douluo?

It was of little use against the Titan Ape.

As a Soul Douluo, Meng Shu knew more than they did: the Titan Giant Ape in the Star Dou Great Forest had at least 60,000 years of cultivation.

Moreover, I've heard that this Titan Ape also has a so-called elder brother.

A soul beast that can be the elder brother of a Titan Giant Ape must be even more outrageously powerful.

Who knows if its older brother is hiding nearby?

Meng Shu still hasn't figured out why the Titan Ape appeared in the outer area.

As for Zhao Wuji, he showed a very responsible side at this critical moment.

He spoke in a deep voice to Su Ming, Du Busi, and Dai Mubai behind him:

"Don't worry about me if anything happens later. The three of you are the strongest, so make sure you protect everyone when we escape."

Then he turned to Long Gong Shinian and the others and said, "Don't just focus on escaping. You have no idea how terrifying the Titan Ape is. Give your students and descendants a little more hope of escape."

At this moment, Zhao Wuji had already prepared for the worst and wanted to do some psychological work on Long Gong and the others.

Let them lend a hand, instead of just running away.

"Bang!"

The Titan Ape suddenly moved, slamming its paw on the ground very close to the camp.

As the ground cracked, smoke billowed out, and a shockwave rushed toward the camp.

Before Zhao Wuji could react, a blue dragon-shaped phantom rushed over and neutralized the force of the shockwave.

He looked at Long Gong Meng Shu with a hint of doubt. Could the other party really be so kind?

"With a formidable enemy at hand, it's best to work together." Meng Shu waved his hand, indicating that it was his duty.

Surprisingly, Shi Nian also agreed at this moment, "Indeed, let's all go together."

Is the newly established alliance really that unbreakable?

Of course not.

Moreover, both Long Gong and his group, as well as the Canghui Academy group, have certain grudges against Shrek Academy.

In a life-or-death situation like this, instead of thinking about running away, why did they decide to continue cooperating?

Zhao Wuji's doubts were soon answered.

Suddenly, an incredibly hard stone wall appeared around the camp, surrounding everyone.

The power of the earth.

The Titan Ape also possesses this unique ability to control earth-elemental elements.

In addition, it is also covered by a unique gravitational field.

This means that ordinary Soul Masters not only cannot flip over it, but also cannot break through it.

'It seems these two won't run away until the stone wall breaks down,' Zhao Wuji thought to himself.

Xiao Wu was the only one who was surprised. How could the not-so-bright Er Ming have thought of combining their abilities?

This was the first time she had ever seen anything like it.

"Snake Granny, please take these children and find the weak points in the stone wall."

After Zhao Wuji finished speaking, he called Long Gong Meng Shu and Shi Nian to come up together.

Although it's unclear why the Titan Ape stopped attacking, it's better to strike first to avoid being wiped out.

First Soul Skill - Immovable King Body!

Third Soul Skill - Gravity Enhancement!

Fifth Soul Skill - Gravity Compression!

Three soul skills were unleashed in a row as Zhao Wuji charged forward.

"This is insane!" Dragon Lord said, unleashing his soul skills in rapid succession.

In this situation, all we can do is try our best to fight for a chance of survival for my wife and granddaughter.

They are now in the same boat.

Hopefully, it can last a little longer.

Shi Nian was no exception; he regarded his grandson as the hope for the family's rise and fame across the mainland.

Therefore, we must not suffer any losses.

The only regret is that he may not be able to pass on his head soul bone to the other party.

Because it's very likely that I'll die here today.

"Strange, this Titan Ape isn't really going all out."

As the fighting progressed, Meng Shu realized something was amiss.

He understood the terrifying power of this Titan Ape far better than Zhao Wuji and Shi Nian.

Logically speaking, if the opponent goes all out, even if the three of them activate their Martial Soul True Body, they can only hold out for a short while at most.

But he hasn't even activated his Martial Soul True Body yet, and he's still managing to hold on.

Who cares why? Buying more time is always a good thing.

However, Meng Shu quickly put this question out of his mind; now was not the time to be distracted.

Most importantly, the Titan Ape clearly increased its power.

"You guys keep looking for a mistress. I'm going to help Teacher Zhao and the others."

Seeing that he had accumulated enough power in his Sage Mode, Su Ming knew it was time to make his move.
