With the appearance of Tang San's Godly Zhuge Crossbow, Yu Xiaogang and others couldn't help but feel safer. While Zhao Wuji and Flender are strong fighters, they are strong attack systems, and agility-system spirit masters weren't suited for controlling many enemies like a pack of Grass Wolfhounds.
Zhao Wuji, who possessed the "Vigorous Vajra Bear" martial soul, might have the spirit skill to increase and manipulate gravity around him and control the enemy, but he couldn't use it for too long. For him, it's just another means of attacking.
The same goes for Flender, who possessed an "Owl" martial soul. He has some spirit skills that manipulate winds to restrain his enemy, but he's still an agility-system spirit master at the end of the day.
Flender glanced at Yu Xiaogang, "Xiaogang, why didn't you summon Luo Sanpao and help control the wolves earlier?"
"What do you mean by that, Flender?" Yu Xiaogang immediately becomes defensive.
Flender narrowed his eyes, knowing Yu Xiaogang wouldn't give him the answer he wanted, "Okay, then. However, you shouldn't have told Tang San to cover for you!"
"Your disciple is only a half-step Spirit Grandmaster. Even if he's a genius, controlling 1,000-year-old spirit beasts is still too much for him, right?"
Yu Xiaogang frowned, "What do you know? Xiao San is the strongest genius on the Douluo Continent! His talent surpassed your realm of imagination, Flender!"
"Controlling a few 1,000-year-old spirit beasts isn't difficult for him."
Tang San, who didn't know how dangerous his situation was, nodded amiably, "Yeah, it shouldn't be hard..."
Honestly, speaking. Tang San doesn't find handling and killing 1,000-year-old spirit beasts troublesome with his current cultivation base and Tang Sect's techniques.
He had done it secretly in the Soul Hunting Forest near the Nouding City several times.
Of course, Tang San didn't know that the spirit beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest, while still wild, weren't as powerful, brutal, and dangerous as the ones in the Star Dou Forest.
After all, Star Dou Forest is the ancient habitat for spirit beasts.
Just because he had played with some puppies, he had underestimated the danger of Star Dou Forest, which would bite him on the ass soon.
Flender realized Tang San was a typical overconfident genius and said to Yu Xiaogang, "Xiaogang, if you keep this up, you will regret it."
"Flender, I'm Xiao San's Teacher! I know what's best for him!" said Yu Xiaogang pretentiously.
"You..." Flender felt his friend was hopeless.
Yu Xiaogang brushed Flender off, "Don't worry, I won't regret it. Just wait and see Xiao San shine brightly as the strongest genius in today's era!"
"Teacher! I won't let you down!" Tang San's blood boiled upon hearing his teacher's confident statement.
Damn, what a ridiculous teacher and disciple!
"..." Flender.
"..." Zhao Wuji.
Even Han Yuan and Ah Yin, who observed them far away, laughed out loud at these two banters.
After that, Tang San confidently walks in front beside Zhao Wuji. His eyes scanned the area skillfully as he would occasionally shoot a few 1,000-year-old spirit beasts dead.
The more Tang San killed, the more confident he became, just as Han Yuan predicted.
Yu Xiaogang also encouraged Tang San to train his shooting skills more, which caused the Tang Sect's thief to deplete more ammunition. While Tang San made thousands of arrows and retrieved them from the spirit beast's corpse, he didn't realize the spirit beasts they faced started to counter his penetrating arrows.
He's breaking more arrows than he's getting them back.
Soon, they faced a 10,000-year-old spirit beast!
Roar!
"Yang-Seeking Gorilla!" Zhao Wuji paled instantly. The same goes for Flender and Yu Xiaogang.
There are many bizarre spirit beasts in this world, some with habits that like to catch humans for their enjoyment.
Yang-Seeking Gorillas are always born female, and they desire to kidnap male humans for their yang energy. This spirit beast caused many cases where broken male humans become vegetables in their mating cave.
Yu Xiaogang, who had the weakest "yang" energy, wouldn't catch Yang-Seeking Gorilla's attention, but a strong attack system like Zhao Wuji and a young boy like Tang San did.
Realizing this, Zhao Wuji immediately used his martial soul possession and pushed Tang San's back, "Get back!"
Then, Zhao Wuji faced the Yang-Seeking Gorilla and finally realized it was over the 30,000-year-old mark, enough to give him a tough time.
"Flender, get Grandmaster and Tang San out of this place!" Zhao Wuji couldn't fight while protecting someone.
"I got it!" Flender nodded and was ready to get Yu Xiaogang and Tang San out of this area when a slender, white snake over ten meters long burst from the bush and attacked him.
BOOM!
Flender coughed blood as his body got wrapped by a white serpentine body, "Body-Binding Snake!"
"Damn it!"
Like Yang-Seeking Gorilla, the Body-Binding Snake is also a bizarre spirit beast known for its tendency to suck bones from their prey by liquifying the said bones, making them boneless and suffering a painful death.
Still, Flender lamented his fate because this Body-Binding Snake was over 10,000 years old, which means its ability to liquefy bones is scarier and can even turn those molten bones into a terrifying energy blast.
"Xiao San, use your Godly Zhuge Crossbow to help Flender!" Yu Xiaogang ordered like a certain Pokemon Trainer.
"Yes, Teacher!" Being the good Pokemon he is, Tang San aimed the Godly Zhuge Crossbow and fired several fast bolts at the Body-Binding Snake's eyes, wanting to stun it.
However, Tang San was bound to be disappointed.
Clink! Clink! Clink!
The metal clashing sounds echoed in the chaotic battlefield as the deadly bolts Tang San had fired couldn't pierce through Body-Binding Snake's scales. They literally crumple upon impact!
"Impossible!" Tang San's eyes widened in astonishment. His Godly Zhuge Crossbow actually can't pierce through this snake.
"This..." Yu Xiaogang immediately panicked.
Meanwhile, Flender and Zhao Wuji don't know what to say. They should have expected that a weapon like that couldn't kill 10,000-year-old spirit beasts. It would be too much.
Then, an eerie presence walked into their area.
Thump!
It was a brown giant covered with vines and leaves, holding a hammer created from heavy yet ancient-looking wood.
Everyone's heart becomes cold as ice.
"Wood Piercer Beast..." Zhao Wuji, who fought the Yang-Seeking Gorilla, couldn't help but feel a shiver down his spine.
Among the bizarre spirit beasts in the Star Dou Forest, the Wood Piercer Beast is the strongest. Many rumors said it could fight a 100,000-year-old spirit beast despite being a 10,000-year-old spirit beast due to its ability to create spikes that could deprive one of their blood and spirit energy.
This Wood Piercer Beast aged alongside their height. One meter height was equal to 5,000 years of cultivation, and this one is over five meters, meaning it was over 25,000 years old!
"We are done for..."
The Wood Piercer Beast released a scream as it swung its hammer down, causing many wooden spikes to alter the landscape and make countless wood crosses.
BOOOOM!!
Tang San's eyes widened as he didn't expect such a strong spirit beast to exist in this world. "Not good! This power is close to that of an Innate Practitioner Expert!"
He hurriedly dodged using the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, bringing Yu Xiaogang along. He decisively left Zhao Wuji and Flender to fend for themselves.
To Tang San, his teacher is most important. He does not care about anyone else.
"Please hold on long enough for us to escape..." Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes flashed with a cold glint as he muttered indifferently.
Zhao Wuji and Flender were shocked. They didn't expect Tang San to be able to run that quickly.
"Xiaogang!" Flender screamed at the top of his lungs.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!!
Even more wood crosses burst out from the ground.
...
...
Meanwhile, Tang Hao got confronted by a mysterious woman.
"Get out of my sight, woman!" He was about to save his son when she appeared out of nowhere and blocked his path.
The mysterious woman chuckled, "Not so fast, Tang Hao..."
"It's time for your punishment!"
