Chapter 128: Xiao Wu’s Desperate Plea
🕑 Added 2025-04-27 07:04:01 +0000 UTCAt this moment, due to his weakened state, the Sky Azure Bull Python’s vigilance had greatly diminished. Although he could sense danger nearby, he couldn’t pinpoint its source.
However, he wasn’t too worried. After all, he was currently in the center of the lake, his own territory. If danger arose, he could simply retreat into the lake and wait for the Titan Giant Ape to return.
On the other side, after entering the forest, Xiao Yu and the others didn’t hesitate and headed straight for the forest’s depths.
After all, it was better to have the Titan Giant Ape, a native of the forest, help them find spirit beasts than to search on their own.
Soon, accompanied by the sound of the earth shaking, the massive figure of the Titan Giant Ape appeared before them.
Following this was the Titan Giant Ape’s deep voice:
"Xiao Wu, you’re back!!"
The Titan Giant Ape’s eyes showed both joy and shock upon seeing Xiao Wu.
Joy because Xiao Wu had returned.
Shock because he saw that Xiao Yu’s strength had broken through to the 60th level.
It had only been a little over a year since Xiao Yu had last come to obtain a soul ring.
In just over a year, Xiao Yu had gone from level 50 to level 60.
Such talent was something even the long-lived Titan Giant Ape couldn’t help but marvel at.
"Mm, Er Ming, how’s Da Ming?"
Xiao Wu, following the requirements, leaned against Xiao Yu, pretending to be in a passionate relationship with him, and asked gently.
"Not great. After Da Ming explored the bottom of the central lake last time, he was injured, and the injury was quite severe. Although he’s recovered somewhat after three months of rest, he’s still far from his peak condition."
Speaking of Da Ming, Er Ming’s expression turned helpless.
He still remembered the incident clearly.
"What? Da Ming is injured?! How? In the Star Dou Great Forest, what spirit beast could possibly injure Da Ming?"
Hearing Er Ming’s words, Xiao Wu’s expression tightened, and she asked anxiously.
"I don’t know."
Er Ming briefly explained what had happened to the group.
When Xiao Wu heard that there were humans living in the central lake where they had lived for so many years, she was shocked.
She and her mother had lived in the central lake for so many years and had never seen any traces of humans.
But now wasn’t the time to think about that. Xiao Wu wanted to see how Da Ming was doing.
However, Xiao Wu also knew that she needed Xiao Yu’s permission to see Da Ming. Thus, she whispered a plea in Xiao Yu’s ear:
"Xiao Yu, can I go see Da Ming first? Please..."
Xiao Yu, who had long wanted to win the Sky Azure Bull Python’s favor, naturally didn’t refuse.
"Alright. I’m also quite curious about who could injure a nearly 200,000-year-old Sky Azure Bull Python and suppress you with just their aura!"
Then, under the Titan Giant Ape’s lead, they quickly headed toward the central lake.
As they got closer to the central lake, they could hear loud noises coming from that direction. Hearing these noises, Er Ming’s expression changed drastically, and he rushed forward.
When he arrived, he saw a winged, earth-yellow-scaled dragon lizard fighting the severely injured Sky Azure Bull Python.
However, due to the Sky Azure Bull Python’s severe injuries, he was no match for this Earth Dragon Lizard, which possessed extreme earth elemental power. Moreover, the lizard’s pure dragon blood allowed it to completely ignore the Sky Azure Bull Python’s pressure.
"Big Brother, I’ll help you! Damn Earth Dragon Lizard, I’ll tear you apart!!"
Seeing this Earth Dragon Lizard, which had previously been peaceful and obedient under his and Da Ming’s command, now taking advantage of Da Ming’s injuries to attack him, Er Ming couldn’t hold back and charged forward.
When Xiao Yu, who had arrived shortly after, saw this Earth Dragon Lizard, which was around 60,000 years old, his eyes lit up.
This was truly a stroke of luck. This spirit beast had strong dragon blood, making it perfect for him.
Although a 60,000-year soul ring was a bit high for him, it was still within an acceptable range.
"Grandpa Dugu, please help the Titan Giant Ape. I want this Earth Dragon Lizard as my soul ring!"
"Are you sure? Xiao Yu, this spirit beast seems quite old!"
Dugu Bo asked in surprise.
"I’m sure, Grandpa Dugu. I’m confident I can absorb it!"
"Alright, then watch how I capture it for you!"
After hearing Xiao Yu’s request, Dugu Bo immediately charged forward.
With the appearance of a Jade Phosphor Dragon, whose length was no less than the Sky Azure Bull Python’s, the Earth Dragon Lizard, already at a disadvantage under the Titan Giant Ape’s furious attacks, was completely powerless to resist.
It was quickly poisoned by Dugu Bo’s terrifying venom, losing half its life.
Seeing this Jade Phosphor Dragon, whose size and pressure far exceeded his own, as well as its terrifying venom, the Titan Giant Ape’s expression turned grave.
He also used his body to block the path of this emerald-green serpent dragon.
With Da Ming already injured, if this human were to act recklessly, he would have to fight to the death to stop him.
As for the Titan Giant Ape’s stance, Dugu Bo saw it at a glance but didn’t say much. He simply said lightly:
"Titan Giant Ape, if you have no objections, Xiao Yu wants this spirit beast as his soul ring."
"Fine. If Xiao Yu wants it, he can have it. As for this traitor, even if you didn’t want him, I would have executed him!"
Er Ming waved his hand hastily. After seeing Dugu Bo leave, he immediately went to Da Ming’s side to check on his condition.
However, Da Ming, already injured and now further wounded, was even more exhausted.
Seeing the once mighty Da Ming, her strongest pillar of support, in such a state, Xiao Wu’s heart ached.
Then, with a pitiful expression, she looked at Xiao Yu and pleaded:
"Master, you must have a way to heal Da Ming, right? Please, save him..."
Hearing Xiao Wu’s plea, although Xiao Yu did have the intention to heal Da Ming, he sneered:
"Why should I? Isn’t it better if he dies? When I reach level 70, I can just come and take his soul ring! Xiao Wu, isn’t it better for your master to take it than for someone else to take your brother’s soul ring? Don’t you think so?"
Hearing Xiao Yu’s words, Xiao Wu’s face turned pale, and she tearfully begged:
"No, no... If you want a soul ring, take mine. I’ll offer it to you. I’ll give you my soul, my everything... Just save Da Ming. I’ll give you anything you want..."
