Douluo, my martial soul is a mushroom

Chapter 35 Xiao Wu returns, Chi Honghu
With Xiao Wu's signal, the Titan Ape naturally wouldn't use too much force, but the gap between the two sides was too big. Although the people who were knocked unconscious regained consciousness in a few minutes, they were unable to do any strenuous exercise for a while.

Oscar and Chi Ping distributed large sausages and white mushrooms, and everyone stayed on the spot to recuperate from their injuries.

Most people were filled with relief, after all, they were able to escape with their lives from such a powerful soul beast.

Zhao Wuji's face turned pale. "How could the Titan Ape appear outside the Xingdou Great Forest... I'm sorry, everyone. It's all my fault. I couldn't stop it from taking Xiao Wu away... Tang San, you, please accept my condolences..."

"No, it's not your fault. It was me who failed to protect Xiao Wu." Tang San kept his head down after getting up from the ground. His voice was calm, without any emotion.

Zhao Wuji sighed, "Everyone, take a rest here first, we will go to another place to discuss the matter."

At this moment, Chi Ping, who had been in deep thought, heard a thin but clear voice, "Brother Ping, Oscar, if you still consider me a brother, give me a purple mushroom and a mushroom sausage. Don't tell anyone and don't let anyone see it."

——The secret of sound transmission!
Chi Ping was shocked, but he remained calm on the surface.

He looked at Tang San, who also looked up. When their eyes met, Chi Ping frowned, showing a rare anger.

Tang San's eyes had turned blood red, as if they were about to bleed. He looked indescribably weird, and Chi Ping could sense an indescribable coldness in his eyes.

He stood up and walked in front of Tang San.

Snapped!
Chi Ping slapped Tang San to the ground.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong wanted to speak, but were stopped by Dai Mubai and Oscar. They believed that Chi Ping must have his own reasons.

Anger made Tang San lose his mind. He raised his hand and shot out a hidden arrow, which went straight to the forehead.

Ikehira dodged.

Tang San took action, controlling the crane and capturing the dragon.

Chi Ping moved close and used the Eighteen Black Dragon Moves to capture Tang San in no time and pin him to the ground.

"Do you want Xiao Wu to die?" Chi Ping said angrily.

Tang San stopped struggling, the bloodshot in his eyes did not fade, he asked in a trembling voice: "Are you saying that Xiao Wu is still alive?"

"More than 70% chance. The Titan Ape held back. It is very strong and could kill us easily, but it didn't. It has intelligence and wisdom, no less than humans. Its attack was very restrained and without anger. Its purpose was not to kill! Xiao Wu might be its target, but its purpose was not to kill Xiao Wu! Xiao Wu should still be alive now, but if you rush over and provoke it like this, Xiao Wu will be in real danger! Do you want Xiao Wu to die because of you!"

Chi Ping almost shouted the last sentence!
Chi Ping's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Tang San's head, extinguishing the anger that was burning his reason.

Tang San spoke in a dying tone, "Xiao Wu is not dead?"

Chi Ping's heart softened, he let go of Tang San, and said unhappily, "She's not dead! But if you rush over now, she'll really die!"

Everyone else came closer, talking in a flurry of voices that made it hard to hear what they were saying. In the end, Zhao Wuji shouted to silence everyone else and asked Chi Ping cautiously, "Xiao Ping, are you sure? Xiao Wu is really still alive?"

Chi Ping nodded, "More than 70% sure. But we still can't give up on the rescue, we have to keep up with the Titan Ape."

Zhao Wuji was stunned. "Do you know where it went?"

The Titan Ape moved so quickly that it had disappeared long ago, and Zhao Wuji couldn't find any trace of it.

Chi Ping did not answer Zhao Wuji's question immediately, but looked at Tang San who had gotten up. "Now you know how reckless you are, chasing after him without any preparation. Do you want to die for love?"

"When we entered the Xingdou Great Forest, I used the characteristics of my martial spirit to plant a few mycelium on each of us. Using the connection between me and the mycelium, I can use my intuition to determine the approximate location of each person."

This is a lie. Chi Ping used the mycelium underground to find the location of Xiao Wu and the Titan Ape.

After hearing what Chi Ping said, everyone present subconsciously touched their bodies.

Chi Ping said speechlessly, "The mycelium is very tiny, you can't find it. Don't worry about me using this trick to spy on your privacy, it can only detect the approximate location."

Zhao Wuji coughed twice and spoke to ease the awkwardness at the scene, "Since Xiaoping can determine the location, then quickly take us to find Xiaowu!"

"Correct!"

"That's right!"

"Xiao Wu is our classmate. Since there is hope, we can't give up!"

Chi Ping looked at Tang San, "Come with me."

After saying that, Chi Ping opened the way towards the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest. Tang San followed immediately. The others looked at each other, followed immediately and formed a formation.

The chase lasted for a long time, and they traveled at least dozens of miles, but there was still no sight of Xiao Wu and the Titan Giant Ape.

However, judging from the footprints, weeds being trampled, branches being broken, and other traces along the way, Chi Ping's path was indeed correct. This was also the reason why Tang San could persist until now.

However, Tang San was not made of iron, and his emotions and physical strength had their limits. The Titan Ape held back, but the overwhelming strength left Tang San with serious injuries. In addition, he initially thought Xiao Wu was dead, but later learned that Xiao Wu was alive. The ups and downs of his emotions drained his energy. At this time, he finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell down.

"Now how to do?"

Seeing Tang San suddenly fall down, Ma Hongjun was at a loss and instinctively looked at Chi Ping. Dai Mubai and Oscar were the same as him.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing looked at Zhao Wuji, but Zhao Wuji also looked at Chi Ping and asked him to make the decision. Chi Ping sighed, "Stop and rest. It's too dangerous here. We can't split up. Don't let another one go in before we save one."

So everyone stopped and rested on the spot.

Just as everyone was sharing sausages and mushrooms, the sound of light footsteps caught the attention of Zhao Wuji and Chi Ping.

"Who?" Zhao Wuji looked at them coldly, his spirit power suddenly gathering. The situation now was different from the past. As long as the other party made any unusual movements, he would send out a thunderous attack.

Chi Ping seemed to be thinking about something and reached out to stop Zhao Wuji.

"Xiao Wu?"

A slender figure ran out of the woods. Zhao Wuji was stunned when he saw the person's face, and the others were also stunned.

Xiao Wu looked a little disheveled at this moment, her clothes were torn in many places, and the neat scorpion braid on her head became messy, but her face was very rosy, and she seemed to be a little more mature than before.

"Xiao Wu, are you really not dead?" Oscar said this only to realize that his words were a bit harsh.

Xiao Wu said angrily: "Are you looking forward to my death? What happened? Oh my God, what happened to Xiao San?"

Seeing Tang San lying on the ground beside him, Xiao Wu's heart tightened suddenly, and she ran over in two steps.

"He's fine, he's just too worried about you. There's a saying, 'worry can lead to illness'? It's not accurate, but it's not far off." Chi Ping said.

Xiao Wu's pretty face turned slightly red, but she still knelt beside Tang San and took over the task of taking care of Tang San, her eyes almost tearing.

Xiao Wu's safe return made the team feel completely relieved, and the originally tense atmosphere relaxed.

Zhao Wuji asked curiously: "By the way, Xiao Wu, how did you escape from the clutches of the Titan ape?"

Xiao Wu took out the words she had prepared long ago, "I don't know what happened. The Titan Ape grabbed me and ran towards the forest. I don't know how long I ran, but finally I seemed to hear a roar like a cow coming from one direction. The Titan Ape seemed very nervous, looked at me, threw me aside, and then ran away."

"The sound of a cow? What kind of cow can make the Titan Ape nervous? What happened next?" Zhao Wuji frowned.

Xiao Wu's eyes revealed a gleam of fear. "The Titan Ape left me behind and roared before leaving. I felt dizzy and passed out. When I woke up, it was gone. The scene was terrifying. At least dozens of soul beasts were stunned. The weaker ones were directly shocked to death with bleeding from the mouth and nose. I don't know whether to say good luck or bad luck, I suddenly found that my soul power has also broken through to level 30."

Zhao Wuji was shocked. "Ah? You are already level 30?"

Xiao Wu said: "I was very scared at the time. Perhaps the increase in my soul power was due to too much external stimulation. I happened to find a thousand-year soul beast that was more suitable for me in a coma, so I hunted it and obtained the third soul ring."

"Is this okay?"*5
Everyone was stunned, looking as if they had seen a blind cat catching a dead mouse.

Xiao Wu showed a lingering fear on her face, "I guess I'm lucky. I thought I was dead. In order to avoid being attacked by the surrounding soul beasts after they woke up, I had to kill all the soul beasts that were stunned. After absorbing the third soul ring, my physical strength recovered. I didn't know the direction, so I just walked around aimlessly. It was also lucky that I found you by accident."

Although there were doubts in Xiao Wu's words, she came back alive after all, so no one intended to make a fuss about it.

Zhao Wuji nodded and said, "It's good that you're back. After you were arrested, Xiao San was so anxious that her eyes turned red. If Xiao Ping hadn't stopped her, she would have rushed out directly."

He briefly recounted everything that had happened, and Oscar and Ikehira handed over a recovery sausage and a white mushroom in due course.

Xiao Wu took the food and glanced at Chi Ping inconspicuously.

Chi Ping seemed to sense something, turned his head and gave her a meaningful smile.

Xiao Wu's heart suddenly stopped.

Chi Ping nodded, "I'm glad you're okay. Don't be afraid. By the way, I'm quite curious about the cow noise I told you about. Tell me about it when you return to the academy. Don't worry, don't be afraid. I'm just curious about something."

Xiao Wu nodded woodenly.

About half an hour later, Tang San woke up in a daze.

The first thing he saw was Xiao Wu in his arms.

The subsequent development is simple.

Tang San was overjoyed and hugged Xiao Wu excitedly.

The two of them talked to each other from the bottom of their hearts, not caring at all that people were watching.

In the end, Zhao Wuji couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to separate the two.

It was also at this time that Tang San discovered that he had broken through level 30 and could obtain the third soul ring.

There is one more goal for this trip.

After collective discussion, everyone decided that there was no gain without risk, and they still had to deal with Ma Hongjun and Tang San's spirit rings before returning to the academy, but there was a time limit, it had to be within five days.

The next day, Chi Ping continued to lead the way. After half a day's trek, they finally arrived at the habitat of the red swan - Red Lake, and saw the target of this trip.
