"What?" Snake Wife Chongtianxiang exclaimed, her gaze at Tang San suddenly becoming strange. At the same time, she quietly touched her husband's hand.

  Guai Shi Long and She together for decades, Meng Shu naturally understood his wife's meaning.

  "Tang San, I'm sure you understand that without my consent, it's impossible for you to absorb the soul ring of this human-faced demon spider." Meng Xiu said calmly. Although his tone was not emotional, the hidden killing intent still made Tang San feel a great deal of pressure.

  Tang San said: "If it's like that, then this Man-Faced Demon Spider's soul ring will really go to waste."

  Meng Shu said: "For us, such a good soul ring, even if it's wasted, won't be easily given to outsiders for absorption. This is already an unspoken rule in the Soul Master world. If you join my family, not only can I let you absorb this soul ring, but I can also protect you. What do you think?"

  As the Dragon Emperor, he had invited Tang San twice, which was already quite friendly. He and Snake Queen really valued Tang San's talent. After all, this child was still young, and his future prospects were impossible to estimate.

  Tang San suddenly spoke up: "Letting me join your family isn't impossible. However, you must agree to one condition of mine."

  Meng Shu furrowed his brow, "Do you have the qualifications to discuss terms with me now?"

  Chao Tianxiang bumped into her husband again and hastily said: "What conditions? You say it."

  Tang San's eyes revealed a gloomy color, "Earlier we encountered a powerful soul beast, it took away one of my companions. If the two seniors can help me find my companion back, I will agree to join your family. If my friend is dead, then I ask the two seniors to help me avenge."

  "Only hunting a Soul Beast?" Meng Shu looked at Tang San with some surprise.

  Chao Tianxiang's thoughts were more meticulous than her husband's, "Isn't Zhao Wuji with you? Can't he even block that soul beast?"

  Tang San nodded slightly.

  Meng Shu snorted disdainfully, "Just because Zhao Wuji can't beat him doesn't mean I won't be able to. Besides, with our fusion technique, how many soul beasts in this Star Dou Forest can rival us? Tang San, what kind of soul beast is that?"

  "It's a Titan Ape. Probably over 10,000 years old." Meng Shen was the highest-level Soul Master he had ever seen. If he were willing to lend a hand to save Xiao Wu, it would naturally be much easier than doing it himself. Tang San wasn't about to let such an opportunity slip away.

  However, when Gai Shi Long and his wife heard the four words "Titan Ape", both of their bodies stiffened at the same time.

  The strong and disdainful look in Meng Xiu's eyes had disappeared, replaced by a somewhat awkward gaze. Chao Tianxiang furrowed his brow even more deeply, sighed, and shook his head, saying words that made Tang San extremely disappointed: "We can't do it."

  "With the strength of two seniors, can't we deal with that Titan Ape?" Tang San asked urgently.

  Meng Shu said in a bad tone: "What do you know, the Titan Ape is an ancient alien species, its strength is so strong that even if we are not talking about us, even if it's a title Douluo, no one dares to say they can win over it. Moreover, as far as I know, there is only one Titan Ape in this Star Dou Forest. Its cultivation is not just simple ten thousand years, at least it has been cultivating for more than sixty thousand years now. It's the true forest overlord. And the Titan Ape also has a more terrifying older brother. Unless all the title Douluo of the two empires gather here, who dares to say they can hunt them?"

  "Old man, we should also leave quickly. I didn't expect the Titan Ape to appear in the outer ring. This is not a good omen. Fortunately, it seems to be in a good mood and hasn't launched a killing spree against the Soul Masters. Otherwise, that little Tang San wouldn't have been able to stand before us alive."

  Gu Yue Long Snake's understanding of this starry forest is obviously more than Zhao Wuji, and Tang San also knows that with his identity, he can't deceive himself. But Meng Xue's words also made him close to despair.

  His judgment of the Titan Ape was already high, but after hearing Meng Shu's words, he realized that his judgment was still not enough. The Titan Ape was even more powerful than he had imagined. And there was actually an even more formidable brother. It would take all the Title Douluo to have the ability to hunt them down. Isn't this equivalent to sentencing Xiao Wu to death?

  Up until now, Tang San still didn't understand why such a powerful soul beast would appear on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

  For being unable to deal with the Titan Ape, Long Wangsun seemed somewhat embarrassed as well. "You little brat, you're not intentionally using the Titan Ape to play a trick on me, are you? I don't have time to waste here with you. If you join my family, I'll help you absorb this soul ring. Otherwise, you can only choose the second option, leave one arm as compensation for my granddaughter and you can leave."

  Tang San came back to his senses, lifted his head and looked at the husband-and-wife duo of Gu Ye and Long Yue. He deeply knew that he was far inferior to them, not even having the qualifications to negotiate with them. However, at this moment, the stubbornness in his heart had risen, and he was unwilling to compromise in any way.

  Slowly raising the Zhuge Divine Crossbow in his hand, "Since you can't help me fulfill my wish to save Little Dance, I naturally won't be able to join your family either. If you want my arm, come and take it yourself."

  Although his soul power hadn't recovered much, Tang San's physical strength had already recovered somewhat at this point. At the very least, launching mechanical control type hidden weapons was no problem.

  Meng Shu did not expect a small Soul Master to dare defy him, and the dragon-headed staff in his hand slammed onto the ground with a loud roar, as if causing an earthquake. If Tang San hadn't been leaning against a large tree, he might have been knocked down by Meng Shu's powerful soul force.

  "Since you want to die, I'll fulfill your wish." Meng Shu's eyes were filled with murderous intent. Such a talented young man couldn't be used by him, so there was no need for him to remain in this world either.

  Just as Long Gong was about to make his move, a deep voice suddenly rang out, "Long Gong, senior, spare him."

  A string of figures rushed over, led by none other than the Immovable Chariot King Zhao Wuji. Behind Zhao Wuji, the Shrek Academy students flew over at high speed, each and every one of them looking somewhat exhausted. In order to track down Tang San, they hadn't stopped for even a moment.

  Before the human-faced demon spider died, its loud cry attracted the Gai Shi Long snake couple who were chasing nearby, and also guided them in the right direction. However, due to the distance being too far, they couldn't find it directly. The dragon lord tapped his staff on the ground once more, finally guiding the direction again, and Zhao Wuji led everyone to rush over quickly.

  Seeing his companions arrive, Tang San's tense body relaxed a bit, and he almost fell over. Fortunately, Dai Mubai quickly came to his side and supported him, preventing him from falling.

  When fighting against the Titan Ape, Tang San's injuries were not light. Although he ate a recovery sausage, he didn't recover completely. Adding to that the exhaustion from rushing on the road and the battle of wits with the Human-Faced Spider, it can be said that his physical and spiritual strength were completely drained. If it wasn't for his willpower holding him up, he would have probably fallen down long ago.

  Oscar hastily ran over and directly handed Tang San two sausages for him to eat.

  The warm current generated by the Recovery Sausage spread between his chest and abdomen, and Tang San suddenly felt much more comfortable. As Oscar's cultivation rose to the Soul Emperor realm, the effect of his Recovery Sausages also increased. Although two sausages didn't have a cumulative effect on soul power recovery, they still provided much greater assistance in physical strength recovery than one sausage did.

  Seeing Zhao Wuji and others appear, Long Gong Meng Shu's face didn't change much. With Gai Shi Long and She Snake around, he wouldn't be afraid of just one person like Zhao Wuji.

  Looking at the dragon-headed cane in Meng Shu's hand, Zhao Wuji was also secretly lamenting. Especially those eight soul rings, which had a great impact on him. Previously, he had already used his Martial Soul True Body once, and now he only had fifty percent of his best state's strength. To say nothing of Meng Shu, even if it were Snake Queen Chao Tianxiang, he wouldn't be able to handle her.

  "This is none other than Senior Dragon, I, Zhao Wuji, have long admired him."

  They say that a smiling face is not to be hit, but Meng Xue glared at Zhao Wuji, "Don't pretend to be polite with me. You've taught your disciples well. Do you think our Meng family has no one to stand up for us? The Phoenix-Tailed Chicken-Crowned Snake was already enough, and now your disciple killed the Human-Faced Spider that my granddaughter had been hunting. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

  Zhao Wuji said, "Senior, I think there's been some misunderstanding. Moreover, although I'm the teacher of these children, Tang San doesn't count as my disciple - his master is someone else, and I don't dare to claim him."

  "Oh?" Meng Shu was taken aback, his heart secretly trembling. He thought to himself, if that Tang San's strength is so astonishing, then his master must be... Zhao Wuji, extremely perceptive, immediately noticed the hesitation on Meng Shu's face and hastily said: "Dragon Lord, may I borrow a step to speak?"

  Meng Shu's eyebrows slightly furrowed, but he still nodded. At this time, he had the upper hand and wasn't afraid of Zhao Wujie's schemes. The dragon head cane tapped on the ground, and he had already sent himself twenty meters away.

  Zhao Wujie hastily followed up and whispered something to Long Gong.

  At first, Meng Shu's face showed extreme surprise, and gradually, his complexion became somewhat unpleasant.

  Zhao Wuji's expression was very calm and polite. After a while, the two had already finished their conversation.

  Meng Xiu walked back to his wife and granddaughter, whispering a few words to Snake Mother. Snake Mother also showed a surprised expression, and the eyes of the old couple fell on Tang San again with a somewhat different look. And all this naturally fell into Tang San's eyes as well.
