Ning Rongrong at Oscar's side sobered from her half conscious condition, startled saying:
"Little Ao, what are you doing?"
Ning Rongrong's voice immediately aroused the others attention, Zhao Wuji was also an intelligent person, and his immediate realization was anything but reassuring. Unfortunately, they were still one step too late.
Tang San became the first person to eat a mushroom sausage, six illusory wings swiftly appeared at his back, and in the split second Zhao Wuji pounced, he brought his body to rise into the air.
"I'm sorry, teacher Zhao. I have to find Xiao Wu, even if she is already dead I still must retrieve her body."
By now, everyone at last saw Tang San's blood red eyes. Naturally they understood the extreme grief in his heart.
"Seven Treasure Words, second spoken: Speed."
Ning Rongrong's clear voice echoed, a line of brilliantly colored light floated in the air to Tang San, making the six illusory wings on his back immediately beat faster.
"Little San, go quickly. I'll support you. I've increased spirit power output, the accelerating effect should be able to last for one minute outside of my spirit power range. Definitely find Xiao Wu, she's my roommate as well."
Ning Rongrong as if not seeing Zhao Wuji's murderous gaze, spoke in a loud voice to Tang San.
Tang San looked deeply at Ning Rongrong, he did not say anything, because he didn't know if he still would have an opportunity to thank Ning Rongrong, already under the Soaring effect of the mushroom sausage he faced the direction the Titan Giant Ape had disappeared and flew off.
"You... You..."
Zhao Wuji looked at Oscar and Ning Rongrong, already so angry he was speechless.
Oscar said with a wry smile:
"Teacher Zhao, you also saw little San's eyes. If we didn't let him go, I'm afraid he still would have chased after on foot. I can understand his frame of mind. If you must blame someone, blame me."
Zhao Wuji furiously said.
"Blame? What blame. Immediately give me your mushroom sausage. As we pursue, everyone go together. Dead or dying. Dying together is fine. Anyone who doesn't want to go, at once get out of Star Dou Great Forest."
Although Zhao Wuji's voice was angry, hearing his words, everyone's faces all showed expressions of unwavering determination. Even Fatty Ma Hongjun nodded.
Dai Mubai pulling Zhu Zhuqing's hand strode over, simply saying:
"Oscar. Quick."
Ever since he crawled out of the hole holding Zhu Zhuqing, he had continuously held her hand. When he saw Xiao Wu being snatched, he all along thought, if the one being snatched wasn't Xiao Wu but Zhu Zhuqing, how would he act. Perhaps he would be even more emotional than Tang San. Perhaps it was because of the feeling of crisis that he all along held on to Zhu Zhuqing's ice-cold little hand, no matter how Zhu Zhuqing struggled, he still didn't let go.
Zhu Zhuqing also hadn't struggled much, right now, her ice cold face already couldn't be seen, occasionally glancing at Dai Mubai, her entire person clearly somewhat taciturn.
...
The Titan Giant Ape ran quickly within the forest, he already seemed completely unhindered by Star Dou Great Forest's terrain, whatever the obstacle in front it would not slow down at all, and also wouldn't really bump into anything. The enormous body displayed astonishing agility, each time it leapt it was able to move forward a hundred metres.
Although the quantity and categories of spirit beasts in Star Dou Great Forest was numerous, each and every one could sense its smell, without exception retreating three day's march. Who would dare obstruct the path of this frightful forest king?
Although Tang San had Oscar's mushroom sausage's flying effect and was able to rely on the Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent's flying speed, compared to this Titan Giant Ape he was still too slow. Furthermore, the Titan Giant Ape didn't at all advance in a single direction. Tang San basically would not have a chance of catching up.
If everyone from Shrek Academy saw the appearance of the Titan Giant Ape moving forward they would certainly be greatly shocked. Because, currently Xiao Wu already wasn't held inside its giant hand, but sat upright on the Titan Giant Ape's broad shoulder, even though the Titan Giant Ape rushed forward quickly, it was still extremely steady: sitting on his shoulder, Xiao Wu didn't even feel a bit of shaking.
Right now Xiao Wu's face was completely covered by a worried expression, occasionally glancing in the opposite direction of where the Titan Giant Ape was rushing.
"Er Ming, right here. Don't continue. I have to hurry back as fast as possible. Otherwise, they'll be worried. Er Ming, you really shouldn't have come to find me."
Hearing Xiao Wu's words, the Titan Giant Ape unexpectedly miraculously halted. Moreover it lay down, letting Xiao Wu drop off his shoulder. The big head shook, in the eyes unexpectedly revealed an innocent expression.
Xiao Wu muttering to herself said:
"Little San was injured. I was taken away, he will definitely be extremely worried. Little San, you mustn't by any means be impulsive, ah, I will return immediately. Er Ming, the next time you sense my smell you must first watch from a distance, you must by no means act rashly, otherwise, if by chance you injure my friends it will be troublesome."
Xiao Wu today had seen the extremely towering creature, but she basically couldn't explain those kinds of circumstances to the Titan Giant Ape before her, and could only use special methods to repeatedly tell it not to injure anyone. But she was finally still brought away by the Titan Giant Ape. Even if Xiao Wu knew it was worried, but, in this situation was still nothing Xiao Wu wanted to see. Especially Tang San's injuries gave her even greater concern.
The Titan Giant Ape seemed to understand Xiao Wu, the lantern like eyes brilliant, expression exceptionally gentle.
Xiao Wu raised her head to look at the Titan Giant Ape,
"Er Ming, is Da Ming well?"
The Titan Giant Ape nodded.
Xiao Wu said:
"That's good. I'm afraid my companions are worried, I have to go back immediately. Since I was brought away by you, I might as well complete my third spirit ring and not have to look for an opportunity again next time. I will begin right now. You stand watch for me. I'm sorry, Er Ming, although i wouldn't help them kill spirit beasts, I also can't prevent them."
The Titan Giant Ape Er Ming shook its head, suddenly emitting a deep unhappy growl.
Its voice didn't sound loud, but transmitted no less than a kilometre, within this range all spirit beasts were terrified, lightning fast leaving their territory to flee outwards.
Xiao Wu was worried about Tang San's condition and did not dare delay longer, directly sitting cross legged in front of Er Ming. Both hands made graceful pinching hand movements, right hand palm up, resting flat on her thigh, left hand upright at her chest, mouth starting to emit a series of bizarre sounds.
Following this bizarre sound, Xiao Wu's both eyes gradually became red, two yellow spirit rings quietly appearing, rhythmically moving up and down around her body. Simultaneously, an enormous white empty shadow took shape behind her, unexpectedly exactly the shape of her spirit Jade Rabbit.
Faint red light gradually spread from Xiao Wu's body, and as time passed, the red light became more and more intense, the scarlet light filling the surroundings like blood.
The Titan Giant Ape Er Ming lay down next to Xiao Wu, watching Xiao Wu within the red light, in both enormous eyes displaying a somewhat longing light.
Time gradually passed, within that intense red light a layer of purple gradually showed, the purple light like points of starlight condensing, awesomely gathering in a round ring.
The purple ring lowered, settling over Xiao Wu's body. When starting just now, it was still somewhat unable to harmonize together with the other two rings of light, but as the red light strengthened, the purple ring also gradually steadied. Awesomely it was precisely a thousand year spirit ring.
Let alone other people, even if Tang San's Teacher was here, that regarding spirit research most profound Grandmaster, would perhaps still be unable to understand what had just happened to Xiao Wu, even more unable to understand why she was able to produce her own spirit ring.
Along with the third spirit ring's appearance, Xiao Wu's body line seemed to have become even more harmonious, the entire person looking a bit older, whether it was chest or butt, they still appeared somewhat rounder, female characteristics also becoming even more perfect.
Only the childish nature on her face somewhat lessened.
At the same time, that empty white Jade Rabbit shadow behind her became much clearer after the third spirit ring appeared.
...
Leaning against the side of a tree, Tang San gasped big mouthfuls of breath.
Oscar's flying mushroom sausage only allowed for one minute of flight, despite Ning Rongrong's spirit assistance, Tang San could still only fly less than three kilometres before falling out of the air.
Throughout the entire flight, Tang San already used his Purple Demon Eye to the limit, to be able to look for the Titan Giant Ape's silhouette.
But, everything turned out contrary to expectations, his most extreme eyesight still would not reveal any trace of the Titan Giant Ape.
Tang San was not resigned. He truly was not resigned. Throughout the flight, all kinds of things continuously came and went flashing through his mind.
The lively Xiao Wu, her mysterious Soft Skill, recognizing him as her elder brother, following silently, lovable charming appearance, without exception made Tang San's heart ache as if cut by knives.
Tang San had previously never believed that this world had gods, but right now he hoped, because he prayed to the gods, prayed Xiao Wu would be able to miraculously survive.
Even though he couldn't fly further, Tang San still wouldn't give up, he staked it all on one direction and advanced at full strength, hoping to be able to find spider's thread and horse tracks.
The spirit power within his body helped by the Recovery Sausage gradually recovered, but right now his physical strength was already somewhat overdrafted, with no choice but to stop a moment and catch his breath.
Although the red in his eyes had declined somewhat, it was still unable to in the slightest degree ease his serious mood.
'Xiao Wu, you are definitely alive. Definitely.' Tang San continuously told himself this.
Taking a look at the terrain of the surroundings, Tang San sat down leaning against the big tree, he knew that if he wanted to continue searching for Xiao Wu, he first had to recover his strength a bit.
