In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 111 It's not that I don't care, it's just that spirit rings are more cost-effective.

"I'll get there as soon as I can after this delay!" Zhu Wu said, picking up a stone from the ground without hesitation.

He shouted as he forcefully threw it at the human-faced spider.

"Little spider, come and bite me!"

As expected, the human-faced spider was enraged. It raised its head and hissed, then used its eight legs to lunge directly at Zhu Wu.

Zhu Wu turned and ran.

"Ghostly Shadow Tracking!" Tang San seized the opportunity to accelerate, leaping away from the man and beast with a few bounds, and continued the chase along the beast trail left by Da Ming and Er Ming.

Tang Hao's eyes flashed as he glanced at Zhu Wu, who was leading the human-faced spider to the side. Without further delay, he chased after Tang San in the direction he had left.

Who knows if we'll encounter any other spirit beasts on the way? My son's life is more important!

"Boss, Tang Hao is gone." Sensing that Tang Hao was leaving, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm immediately alerted him.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Wu immediately turned around.

Having seen this human-faced demon spider, who knows if Tang San will still be thinking about it? What if he comes back later saying he wants to rest for a day or two before coming back to find it? Faced with this possibility, there is only one way to eliminate it: kill it.

Without the slightest hesitation, seeing the human-faced demon spider swing its spear and leap up, a flash of silver light suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Mental shock!"

The human-faced spider froze for a moment, then fell to the ground with a thud, its head stopping right in front of it.

Zhu Wu raised his hand, and crimson light gathered. Then he swung his fist violently. "Bang! Crack!" The shell between the eyebrows of the human-faced demon spider suddenly shattered, and surging flames poured out. Crackling sounds followed as the spider legs on both sides trembled continuously before quickly subsiding.

The dead can no longer die.

The next second, a dark purple light appeared below in my line of sight.

"???" Zhu Wu was stunned. He turned his head to look and saw it was the lower abdomen area.

"Boss, it looks like a soul bone has exploded." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was surprised. "And it's an external soul bone."

Zhu Wu's expression became somewhat conflicted as he looked at the external soul bone. Was it really necessary to absorb a poison-attribute external soul bone?

External soul bones can be obtained through drops, but the drop rate is even lower than when directly fusing them when absorbing a soul ring. As far as he knows, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's right palm bone in the sequel was a drop, and there are also examples of it dropping in later sequels.

So, I was incredibly lucky this time and managed to steal Tang San's Eight Spider Lances?

Thinking this, he strode to the side, kicked the human-faced spider over, and then leaped up onto its belly.

Crouch down, find the right spot, and reach out to tear it open.

In just a moment, a piece of soul bone appeared in his palm, with four slender spider legs connected to each side.

"Let's talk about it when we get back." Without the slightest hesitation, he threw it directly into the soul tool.

"Little White." He jumped down and summoned Little White, then unleashed a barrage of fire at the corpse.

In a short while, not a single piece of debris remained on the ground.

Zhu Wu then turned around and continued chasing in the direction Tang San had left.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Sitting on the ground, Xiao Wu opened her eyes, withdrew her martial soul which had already been attached with its third soul ring, and looked up.

"Da Ming, Er Ming, I'm going back."

"Sister Xiaowu, is the human world really worth your lingering feelings?" Da Ming asked with a complicated expression.

"You've already spent several years in the human world, and your body is already tainted with enough human energy. You can return to your territory to cultivate until you reach maturity, or even become a Title Douluo, before venturing out again. With Erming and me protecting you, you won't encounter any danger along the way."

Xiao Wu shook her head. "Da Ming, Er Ming, I don't want to leave you either. But there are some things I can only achieve by staying in the human world."

"First of all, I learned a lot during my time away from home, things I couldn't have learned here."

"Besides, I can't avenge my mother on my own."

"You can't leave, and you can't expose yourselves, or you'll only get hurt. But if you rely on these human friends, you won't have that problem. They're all very talented, each with the potential to cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo, and some of them even have extremely powerful backgrounds. This will be very helpful for me to find and deal with that woman in the future, and I can't just abandon them."

"If I wait until I reach the mature stage of cultivation before going out, it will be too late. People will have long forgotten me and will no longer help me. As for finding new helpers, who knows what I will have to go through or how long it will take."

"Therefore, I cannot let this opportunity slip by."

The two beasts fell silent, exchanged glances, and stared at each other in bewilderment.

That seems to make some sense!

The Azure Bull Python turned around and sighed, "Since you've made up your mind, Sister Xiaowu, then Erming and I won't say anything more. Besides wanting to bring you back, there's another matter between us."

As he spoke, he opened his mouth and spat out a blade of grass.

"This is Star Concealing Grass. Eating it can shield you from the aura of soul beasts. It was given to you by a friend of Aunt Rou."

"Huh? Mom's friend!" Xiao Wu was taken aback. How come she didn't know that her mother had other 100,000-year-old soul beast friends?

"That person's identity is special; Aunt Rou just didn't tell you. Er Ming and I only found out later. Aunt Rou hadn't visited that person for too long, so they became suspicious and came over in person," the Azure Bull Python explained. "Besides, Er Ming and I promised it we wouldn't reveal its information."

"Okay." Xiao Wu nodded, reached out and took the Star Concealing Grass, her face filled with undisguised excitement.

Without the slightest hesitation, he stuffed it into his mouth, chewed, and swallowed.

A moment later, a faint starlight lingered on the skin's surface before quickly disappearing.

Not long after, somewhere in the forest.

"Uh..." Zhu Wu was stunned when he saw Tang San sitting cross-legged in front of him.

Looking down, Tang San placed his palm on his abdomen, his Blue Silver Grass spirit silently floating, with a purple spirit ring encircling it.

Directly in front of them was a dead, arm-thick, green bamboo viper, and a top-grade one at that, a nine-section jade.

It was highly poisonous, its body was as tough as iron, and its weakness was its eyes, which were currently pierced with arrows from its sleeves.

Judging from his physique, he should be between 1800 and 1900 years old.

"No, what happened to chasing Xiao Wu? Why are you doing this soul beast absorbing soul rings?" Zhu Wu was speechless.

It's not that I don't care about Xiao Wu, it's just that this spirit ring is more cost-effective, right?

Furthermore, as expected of someone with great fortune, even after missing the Human-Faced Demon Spider, they still managed to encounter another top-tier soul beast.

Thinking that he could only hope that this wouldn't result in the loss of any external soul bones, he took small steps to a nearby spot, sat down, and waited quietly.

"Shh shh shh"—not long after, a sound suddenly came from the bushes on one side.

Zhu Wu, who had already been reminded by Tianmeng, turned his head at the opportune moment, and there was no doubt that it was Xiao Wu.

"Third Brother." The latter's eyes were full of Tang San.

"He's absorbing a spirit ring." Zhu Wu curled his lip. "And all this time, I've been escorting him, and he's just been completely ignored."

Xiao Wu then noticed Zhu Wu, a hint of embarrassment flashing across her face. She took small steps to the side and whispered, "Thank you."

"I'm curious, how did you survive?" Zhu Wu asked, looking puzzled.

"I don't know either." Xiao Wu shook her head. "I got dizzy while that gorilla was running, and when I woke up again, I was lying on the ground."

Zhu Wu looked puzzled. "Is that so?"

"Could it be that you want to study the structure of the human body?" He stroked his chin, sizing up Xiao Wu thoughtfully.

"What kind of expression is that?!" Xiao Wu glared at him.

Zhu Wu was puzzled. "The clothes are on perfectly fine. This is really strange."

"Hmph." Xiao Wu snorted softly.

"Maybe they just wanted to grab a human to take a closer look at what I looked like, and I just happened to be naturally beautiful. They grabbed me because they thought I looked good, and after looking at me, they found that I was just so-so, and since they weren't interested, they just threw me away."

Zhu Wu chuckled, "It's clearly a male gorilla watching a female gorilla."

Xiao Wu's face flushed red, then she turned her head to the side. "Considering you protected Third Brother, I won't hold it against you."

"Then you watch carefully while I recuperate." With that, Zhu Wu closed his eyes.

A short while later, Tang San's face suddenly contorted and twisted, startling Xiao Wu, who cried out softly, "Ying Tian, ​​wake up!"

Zhu Wu immediately opened his eyes. "What's all the fuss about? What's wrong?"

"Look at Third Brother!" Xiao Wu exclaimed anxiously. "What happened?"

Zhu Wu turned his head and saw that the muscles around Tang San's lips were writhing wildly, and two sharp teeth were being squeezed out from between his teeth.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say. They lost the Eight Spider Lances, but they were given a set of Poison Fangs instead?

In the distance, Tang Hao's expression hardened slightly as he focused his gaze on Zhu Wu.

Then Zhu Wu glanced at Xiao Wu and said indifferently, "Your snake fangs have grown out, didn't you see? Do you even understand what an external soul bone is?"

"Tell your third brother to be careful when you kiss in the future, lest he get bitten and poisoned to death in the heat of the moment."

Xiao Wu's pretty face immediately turned bright red. "What are you talking about?"

"Heh, I'm too embarrassed to expose you in public!" Zhu Wu glanced at the two of them with disdain, then closed his eyes and continued to meditate.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu stopped talking and quietly looked at Tang San.

Tang Hao fell silent. Zhu Wu didn't seem to care about Xiao San's newly acquired external soul bone at all.

Half an hour later, Tang San slowly opened his eyes.

"Third Brother!" Xiao Wu exclaimed and ran forward quickly.

Tang San was overjoyed and hugged Xiao Wu tightly. The latter blushed and buried her head in Tang San's chest.

"That's good enough." Zhu Wu pursed his lips. "The dean and the others are still waiting for us. And those who fainted are probably still waiting for me to come back and treat them. Also, Tang San, retract your newly grown venomous fangs; they're creepy."

"Just use your mind to control and take it back."

The two separated immediately, Xiao Wu's face flushed red, and she lowered her head slightly.

Tang San subconsciously reached out and touched his teeth, looking shocked. Then, his eyes flashed, and he withdrew his hand with a thought.

She looked up and gave Zhu Wu a deep look, then nodded slightly. "Then let's hurry back."

"It's hard enough for them to even get close to me, how dare they try to bite me with those venomous fangs?" Zhu Wu thought disdainfully, nodded slightly, and strode back.

Tang San pulled Xiao Wu along and quickly followed, chatting as they ran, which was quite endearing.

Some time later, somewhere.

"Xiao Wu, you're not dead!" Zhao Wuji was shocked to see Xiao Wu emerge from the bushes.

Xiao Wu was speechless. She gave an explanation, which of course included obtaining her third soul ring.

"Your luck is truly unparalleled," Zhao Wuji exclaimed in amazement.

"Dean, Teacher Zhao, I've also obtained my third spirit ring." Tang San recounted the process with a smile, including obtaining the nine-section jadeite external spirit bone, Poison Fang.

Everyone present was from the same academy, and they would need to be used in future battles sooner or later, so he felt there was no need to hide it.

"Damn, what luck!" Zhao Wuji was speechless.

"I've been running around all this time, helping to block the human-faced spider, assisting the Dharma protectors, and leading the way, and I haven't gotten anything in return," Zhu Wu replied.

"At worst, I'll treat you to a big meal when we get back!" Xiao Wu said reluctantly.

"I'll invite you!" Tang San replied.

If Zhu Wu hadn't stopped him from hunting the Man-Faced Demon Spider to absorb the soul ring, and hadn't helped lure the Man-Faced Demon Spider away, he wouldn't have happened to run into the Nine-Section Jadeite later, and he wouldn't have obtained the Nine-Section Jadeite's external soul bone.

This time, he truly owed Zhu Wu a debt of gratitude.

"That's fine, it's better than getting nothing at all." Zhu Wu nodded.

"By the way, Yingtian, you should hurry up and treat Mubai and the others," Flander suddenly said.

"Okay." Zhu Wu responded, strode into the tent, and waved to Dai Mubai and the others who were lying in a row, releasing a wave of emerald light.

After finishing, he pulled Long Ling'er to sit down on an open space that had been carpeted.

Ning Rongrong, who followed, sat very ladylike on the other side of Zhu Wu.

It seems Xiao Ao has no hope. Flander sighed inwardly. Ning Rongrong wasn't this well-behaved and dignified before. This change only happened after Zhu Wu saved her. Do you even need to guess why?

After waiting for a while and seeing that no one woke up, Flander said, "Go to sleep first, we can talk about it tomorrow morning."

"Okay." Zhu Wu nodded and laid out a mattress on the spot to sleep with Long Ling'er. The shock from the Titan Ape earlier had blown all the surrounding tents upside down, almost completely torn apart. The tent they were in now was a makeshift structure put together by Long Ling'er and Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong took out a mattress from her soul tool, covered herself with it, and lay down beside her. Everyone slept fully clothed, so there was nothing to worry about.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, the people who had been lying in bed woke up one after another. After learning what had happened, they were all still shaken.

"Alright, let's finish breakfast and get going," Flander said.

During the meal, Tang San told Xiao Wu about his newly acquired soul skill.

Xiao Wu's third soul skill is teleportation.

Tang San's Blue Silver Serpent Binding technique condenses into a ball of light, which can be activated directly or thrown out and then activated. Once activated, it spews out countless snake-like vines to bind the opponent. Because it inherits some of the hardness of the Nine-Section Jadeite, it has a certain degree of piercing ability.

Once punctured, it can secrete a highly toxic substance that is injected into the wound.

"It feels pretty much the same as the spider web bindings in the original story," Zhu Wu thought to himself.

It's worth mentioning that Tang San's external spirit bone, Poison Fang, can spray deadly venom like a snake, making him a true spitting warrior.

Aside from the congratulations, everyone thought this ability, which relies heavily on surprise, is very practical.

Tang San maintained a happy expression throughout, clearly very satisfied.

After eating and drinking their fill, everyone began their journey home.

P.S.: I wanted to finish writing this part of the story in one go, so I apologize for posting it a little late.
