Chapter 34 Showdown, Titan Giant Ape
It was an unexpected surprise to meet a soul beast suitable for Dai Mubai at the junction of the outer and middle areas of the Star Dou Forest. The next target was Ma Hongjun's Red Bird.
The red swan can also be called the flame swan or the red flame swan.
Legend has it that Honghu is the son of Phoenix and has the blood of a mythical beast. On this basis, Chi Honghu has the ability of fire, and is one of the most suitable soul beasts for Ma Hongjun.
Beside the campfire, Chi Ping taught his juniors about the spirit beasts they were about to hunt.
"According to the information, there is a red lake about a hundred miles deep in the Star Dou Forest. Someone saw many red swans there. It should be a colony of red swans. Hongjun's third soul ring will most likely be obtained there."
"Does it have to be a red swan?" Tang San asked puzzledly, "I remember that spirit beasts like the red swan are very united. If they attack one, they will be chased by the entire group. It's too dangerous."
"There is no other way. Hongjun needs Chi Honghu to enhance his martial soul bloodline and take a step closer to the true divine beast Phoenix. The sooner the bloodline martial soul can be improved, the better. Chi Honghu is one of the most suitable soul beasts for him."
"Are we going to follow too?" Ning Rongrong asked, but then he began to explain, "I'm not afraid, I'm just worried that it will hold you back."
Chi Ping shook his head and said with a smile: "Of course we students will not be allowed to do anything. Even if Mubai and I cooperate fully, it will be difficult to deal with a group of soul beasts. Teacher Zhao is the one who takes action."
"Can he control it?" Xiao Wu looked a little confused, "I mean, Teacher Zhao won't kill all the swans?"
Chi Ping: "What are you thinking about? Teacher Zhao is very measured. Moreover, the Chihonghu are not a weak soul beast group, and there are probably ten thousand year soul beasts. Hong Jun's future soul rings are also very likely to be obtained from this group. How could they all be killed?”
"Don't you think this is too cruel..."
The others looked at Xiao Wu with strange expressions.
Zhu Zhuqing said: "What's cruel about a soul master hunting soul beasts to obtain soul rings? Moreover, soul beasts will also kill soul masters. You kill me and I will kill you. Both sides put their lives on the battlefield and use their strength to decide life and death. It's fair, there's nothing cruel about it."
Dai Mubai nodded, "That's the truth."
Tang San spoke up, "Xiao Wu's intention is to tell us not to kill indiscriminately. The most a soul master needs in his lifetime is nine soul beasts. But the number of soul beasts a soul master needs to hunt in his lifetime is How much? Not to mention others, even if we encounter some ten-year and century-old spirit beasts that actively attack on the road, we will still be able to help but take action. People who make a living from soul beasts will not stop, and the number of kills will increase exponentially. If things go on like this, the soul master profession may one day reach a point where no rings are available. "
Xiao Wu nodded repeatedly.
Chi Ping shook his head, "It is indeed wrong to kill indiscriminately. But your statement is also biased.
The growth of soul beasts is much slower than that of soul masters, but the number of soul masters is smaller than that of soul beasts. And there are even fewer soul masters who can make a living by hunting soul beasts. The number of soul beasts hunted by soul masters may not be as much as the casualties caused by the soul beasts killing each other. Although we refer to soul beasts as soul beasts, they may not necessarily think so. When a green water crocodile and a flaming swan encounter each other, who will regard each other as a companion? "
Chi Ping changed the topic, "What you are worried about is indeed a problem. Soul masters rely on civilization, and their development speed must be far faster than that of stragglers. In hundreds of thousands of years, the number of soul masters will definitely increase greatly, and the strength of soul masters will definitely increase." It will also be greatly improved. That is when the soul master should consider the issue of the continuation of the soul beast.
But it’s not a bad thing to plan ahead and think about the future now. But this problem is indeed not something we can change. Unless one day the soul master doesn't need soul rings, or the soul rings don't need to rely entirely on soul beasts, for example, we can condense the soul rings ourselves. "
Xiao Wu's heart tightened.
Ma Hongjun shrugged, "How is this possible?"
"Why is it impossible?" Chi Ping asked.
Ma Hongjun couldn't think of a reason after thinking about it, so he could only say: "Don't everyone know this? There are so many reasons."
"But before I studied intuition and qi and blood, everyone thought that these two powers did not exist. So why can't a genius more talented than me appear and come up with the answer to this question?" Chi Ping said with a smile, "I'm not an insurmountable ideal."
Everyone was silent.
Chi Ping was not in a hurry. He waited for everyone to digest what they just said before speaking again, "This problem is still too far away from us. What we should do now is to improve ourselves, whether it is cultivation or knowledge. But this does not delay our leisure time. It’s always good to think more about this aspect, maybe there will be some good ideas, not only for the soul master to condense the soul rings, but also for other aspects.”
Chi Ping looked at Oscar and Ning Rongrong, "For example, how to create your own soul skills and how to let the auxiliary soul masters protect themselves in front of the fighting soul masters."
——Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, a purely auxiliary sect, has long relied on foreign guests to maintain its status, and always cares about Ning Rongrong...
Then he looked at Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, "There is also the matter of governing the country and the people and developing the country."
——From Xingluo City, surnamed Dai and Zhu, White Tiger Civet...
Then he looked at Tang San and Xiao Wu, "And the Fuxing Sect..."
——Powerful inherited soul skills start from work-study students...
Chi Ping paused for a moment and said in an uncertain tone: "Hmm...hide your identity, take revenge or something?"
——No social common sense, mysterious origin, special sympathy for spirit beasts...
Ma Hongjun was a little confused and asked: "Brother Ping, what are you talking about? Does it have anything to do with us?"
Chi Ping shook his head and said with a smile: "Maybe it doesn't matter, but there are some things that need to be talked about. If you keep it in your heart, something will happen. Okay, if you can't hold on, you can go to the tent to sleep for a while. Don't worry, I will guard it. Good night.”
——There are too many flaws!
Chi Ping's showdown words made everyone present feel confused. Now they found the steps, said goodbye and hid in the tent.
"Uh... should I go back to the tent too?" Ma Hongjun said naively, scratching his head.
Chi Ping smiled and said, "Go ahead, it'll be fine."
…
The next day, Shrek and his team continued on their way, but they could clearly feel that the students in the team were emotionally unstable.
"Xiaoping, Fatty, what happened to them?"
During the lunch break, Zhao Wuji called Chi Ping and Ma Hongjun to his side and asked in a low voice.
"I don't know. Brother Ping said a few words last night and that's all."
Zhao Wuji looked at Chi Ping.
Chi Ping said: "We have eight students in Shrek Academy. This is an unprecedented number. Does Teacher Zhao know what the special significance of this number is?" Zhao Wuji thought for a while and said: "Hmm... can we form a team? "
Chi Ping nodded and said with a smile, "That's right. Teacher Zhao knows about the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition. We have gathered together the standards for the competition."
Zhao Wuji became even more confused, "Is this related to your mentality of messing with them?"
"Mubai, Zhuqing, Rongrong, Xiaosan, and Xiaowu all have complicated backgrounds. Xiaoao is interested in Rongrong, but you should have heard of the rules of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect. These will become the knot in their hearts. The Soul Master Competition This will be their chance to resolve the knot in their hearts, and I need to break it so that they can truly unite.”
Zhao Wuji suddenly realized, "Okay, you just need to know what's going on, but remember to be careful and don't capsize."
Chi Ping smiled and said, "I am measured."
The camp returned to calm, and everyone was in a state of confusion.
Suddenly, Chi Ping and Oscar's hearts tightened.
"There's a situation!"
"Everyone, stay close to Teacher Zhao!"
The voices of the two people hit everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer, and they subconsciously leaned next to Zhao Wuji.
Zhao Wuji stared at the calm forest and said seriously: "What happened?"
Oscar, "I don't know!"
Chi Ping, "Big threat, but not life-threatening."
Zhao Wuji was shocked, "How old is it?"
"Countless times bigger than the Dragon Lord and the Snake Lady! Titled, or a hundred thousand year soul beast!" Chi Ping did not move his eyes, his martial arts uniform transformed into a light armor shape, his tone was extremely solemn, "Be prepared, don't take the initiative! Rong! Rong, give Teacher Zhao a boost! Xiao Ao, restore Rong Rong’s soul power!”
The state of Chi Ping and Oscar was so abnormal that Ning Rongrong did not dare to be careless and immediately used soul skills.
"The seven treasures turn out to contain colored glaze. The first one is strength! The second one is speed!"
"I have a big sausage!"
Everyone else also used martial arts to possess them, and looked solemnly at the direction where Chi Ping and Oscar were staring.
The air seemed to freeze, and the heavy sound of heartbeat and breathing was like a giant hammer falling continuously.
Within a moment, Zhao Wuji also seemed to have discovered something, and his mood became even heavier, "Everyone, get behind me. If anything happens later, you don't care about me, leave here immediately, and leave the Star Dou Forest first. Xiaoping, Mubai, while I’m away, the responsibility of protecting everyone will be left to you.”
Except for Oscar and Chi Ping, everyone else was confused.
Dai Mubai heard the heavy meaning of death in Zhao Wuji's words, and his heart became even heavier.
"The other party has no murderous intention, and perhaps the dispute can be avoided! Teacher Zhao, no matter what happens later, don't say anything! Don't even make a move! Leave it to me to handle it!" Chi Ping stood at the front and did not move.
"I am a teacher!" Zhao Wuji was furious!
"I'm sure!" Chi Ping didn't look back, "Trust me."
Zhao Wuji remained silent, clenching his fists and digging his nails into his palms.
"I'm going to have to swell your butt when you get back!"
After an unknown amount of time, in the direction where everyone was looking, two big trees slowly parted to both sides, and a huge figure walked out quietly.
Seeing this big guy, everyone's breath stopped.
Everyone finally understood what Chi Ping and the others were worried about.
That is a mountain-like existence!
Resembling either an ape or a chimpanzee, a pair of lantern-sized eyes shimmered with gold, and the dark hair on his body shone with a metallic cold light under the sunlight.
This big guy's body is so majestic, incredibly majestic! Not only is its body huge, every part of its body is covered with strong muscles that are more terrifying than granite, bulging like hills.
Such a huge guy made no sound while walking, not even the sound of breathing!
"Titan ape!"
Chi Ping and Tang San recognized this behemoth almost at the same time, and their hearts were heavy.
The power of the King of the Forest is self-evident. The cultivation level of the person in front of me is at least ten thousand years old! The matchless dragon and snake couple can use martial soul fusion skills, and their combat power is comparable to that of a titled Douluo, but in front of this one, they may not be a single enemy!
Before Zhao Wuji lost control, Chi Ping stepped forward to meet the Titan Ape, "Dear King of the Forest, we have no intention of offending. If this is your territory, we are willing to withdraw immediately. Do you have any requirements? We will all be satisfied!”
Chi Ping's behavior shocked everyone.
Even Zhao Wuji was extremely nervous about the Titan ape, but he dared to approach it!
It was precisely because of this action that Zhao Wuji no longer dared to act rashly.
However, the Titan Giant Ape ignored Chi Ping. It just made a simple action that made everyone's hearts rise to their throats.
It's a step forward!
‘Er Ming! Don't hurt them, take me away! ’
In a corner where no one was paying attention, Xiao Wu winked crazily at the Titan Ape.
Titan Giant Ape Er Ming received the message, roared, slapped Chi Ping away, approached the crowd with lightning speed, and punched the crowd with a punch. Among them was Zhao Wuji, who saw that the situation was amiss and activated his martial soul true form. Then he grabbed Xiao Wu from the crowd and disappeared.
Chi Ping is a soul traveler and knows the plot of the original work, but fifteen years have passed and his memory has been completely blurred. Now he can basically pretend that he has never seen the plot.
