Chapter 443 Reunion with Meng Yiran
Chapter 443 Reunion with Meng Yiran
With the help of the flying mushroom sausage provided by Oscar, Tang San relentlessly followed the tracks left by the Titan Giant Ape, chasing after it all the way.
The Titan Ape was enormous, and the traces it left behind were still very obvious. The fallen trees and huge footprints were very easy to identify.
After finishing the last flying mushroom sausage, Tang San flew another three kilometers before finally stopping.
By this time, he had reached a distance of nearly twenty kilometers.
It was only because the rioting spirit beasts in the forest were too busy running away to pay attention to him that Tang San, otherwise, would have died countless times long ago, flying and running around the Star Dou Great Forest without a care in the world.
Leaning against a large tree, Tang San was breathing heavily.
He exerted all his strength in every flight, squeezing out as much of his physical and spiritual energy as possible to fly as far as he could, and was now completely exhausted.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.
Despite having flown such a long distance, they still hadn't found any trace of the Titan Ape along the way.
Despite its enormous size, the Titan Ape was incredibly fast and agile, as evidenced by the tracks it left behind.
With each leap, it seemed to easily advance more than a hundred meters.
"No, I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled—"
Tang San's eyes were bloodshot as he slammed his fists into the tree he was leaning against, sending tree debris flying everywhere.
The inability to find the Titan Giant Ape and Xiao Wu caused Tang San immense pain.
"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu."
The image of the mischievous rabbit lingered in Tang San's mind. Memories of the past flashed before his eyes, making him feel even more regretful and heartbroken. Tears welled up from his bloodshot eyes, like tears of blood.
"No, I can't give up! Xiao Wu must still be alive! No one can take Xiao Wu away from me; she can only be mine!"
Tang San's eyes, brimming with blood and tears, were filled with madness and possessiveness; his mind had clearly been greatly disturbed.
However, due to the depletion of his physical and spiritual energy, the redness in his eyes faded somewhat, and his rationality returned a little.
He quickly took out a large sausage that had restored his health, swallowed it whole, and continued his pursuit, following the clues left by the Titan Ape.
Completely unaware that a figure was following behind him.
…………
After leaving the tent.
Ye Qifeng did not use the Dark Vision Realm to conceal himself, since no one could detect his aura anyway.
Just like Tang San, he avoided Zhao Wuji's gaze, then used the Meteor Illusionary Movement Technique to chase after Tang San.
With the extreme speed provided by the Meteor Phantom Movement Technique, Ye Qifeng easily caught up with Tang San, trailing far behind him.
According to the original course of fate.
Tang San must have encountered the Human-Faced Demon Spider a few kilometers away from Shrek Academy's campsite.
However, fate has now taken a turn, and many things have gone in an unknown direction.
Ye Qifeng didn't know when Tang San would encounter the Human-Faced Demon Spider, but as long as he followed Tang San, they would eventually meet it.
After all, Tang San and Xiao Wu's mischievous rabbit had some kind of inexplicable connection with the Human-Faced Demon Spider.
The two of them seemed destined to be haunted by the Man-Faced Demon Spider. In the Star Dou Great Forest, the Man-Faced Demon Spider would always come to cause trouble for them, wanting to take their lives.
…………
Tang San ventured deep into the forest, and in the blink of an eye, he had traveled more than twenty kilometers.
However, somewhat unexpectedly, he did not encounter any accidents or obstacles along the way, and the human-faced spider that was supposed to appear and attack him was nowhere to be seen.
On the contrary, Ye Qifeng, who was secretly following Tang San, encountered someone who was both reasonable and unexpected.
Following Tang San, they were about to pass through a dense forest when suddenly, a rustling sound came from the trees to their side.
Ye Qifeng immediately turned his head to look.
A young girl, her waist swaying like a snake, leaped gracefully between several large trees, rapidly approaching him.
The girl had short, blue-gray hair that reached her ears, and a delicate and beautiful face. A thin, long snake-like pattern was painted at the corner of her left eye. Her nose was small and pert, and her lips were painted with light purple lip gloss. She wore a sleek, scale-armored outfit that tightly wrapped around her petite yet well-developed body.
If it's not Meng Yiran, then who is it?
Ye Qifeng stopped following Tang San and landed on a thick branch of a large tree. Looking at Meng Yiran, who was leaping towards him from a distance, several question marks appeared on his forehead:
"What's going on? How did Meng Yiran end up here? And all alone? Where are Dragon Lord Meng Shu and Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang?"
…………
Meng Yiran did not discover Ye Qifeng.
At this moment, her expression was clearly tense and flustered. Her little head kept swaying from side to side as she scanned her surroundings, as if she was on guard against something.
After the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent was intercepted by Shrek's group, Meng Yiran, under the guidance of Snake Granny Chaotianxiang, quickly reunited with her grandfather, Dragon Duke Meng Shu.
The grandfather and grandson recounted Shrek Academy's heinous act of stealing the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent to Dragon Lord Meng Shu for quite some time, which enraged the Dragon Lord.
However, despite his anger, Dragon Lord did not immediately retaliate against the Shrek Seven Devils; he simply said he would remember it.
After all, obtaining a spirit ring for his granddaughter is more important.
Meng Yiran and Snake Granny Chaotianxiang also informed Dragon Duke about Ye Qifeng's warning about the riot of soul beasts on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
However, even the Dragon Lord could not see any signs that the soul beasts were about to revolt.
After careful discussion, the three decided to stay in the Star Dou Great Forest to continue searching for soul beasts and hunting for soul rings.
As the saying goes, perseverance pays off. The three generations of the family spent more than two days deep in the forest and finally found another soul beast suitable as Meng Yiran's soul ring.
That was a thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider. Although we don't know its exact age, as long as we kill it, extract its soul ring, and look at the color of its ring, we can roughly know its age.
Importantly, the quality of the Human-Faced Demon Spider's soul rings is far superior to that of the Thousand-Year Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent.
Just as they were about to begin their hunt, a colossal creature suddenly appeared, interrupting their plans. It not only knocked away Dragon Lord Meng Shu and Snake Lady Chao Tianxiang, but also separated Meng Yiran from the two, causing them to lose contact with each other.
This enormous creature, needless to say, is naturally the licking beast of the Titan Ape.
In other words, Meng Yiran and her two grandchildren were unlucky enough to happen to be on the Titan Ape's path and were easily dealt with by the Titan Ape.
Fortunately, the Titan Ape was in a hurry to pick up Xiao Wu and didn't want to pay much attention to them. After knocking Long Gong Meng Shu and Snake Granny Chao Tian Xiang far away, it simply "fled away".
Meng Yiran was only able to escape unscathed thanks to the strenuous protection of Dragon Lord Meng Shu and Snake Lady Chao Tianxiang. She was neither hit by the Titan Giant Ape nor suffered any harm.
After the Titan Ape left, Meng Yiran hurriedly followed the direction in which the Dragon King and the Snake Queen had been knocked away, intending to reunite with them.
Unfortunately, due to the appearance of the Titan Giant Ape, an uprising broke out on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, just as Ye Qifeng had warned.
To avoid the rampaging soul beasts, Meng Yiran's direction of travel was deviated, and she failed to successfully reunite with the Dragon Lord and Snake Lady.
Moreover, the human-faced spider that the three of them had planned to hunt seemed to have also set its sights on her out of resentment.
The Human-Faced Demon Spider is a special soul beast unique to the Star Dou Great Forest.
It lives by hunting low-level soul beasts and devouring their lives, making it a nightmare for low-level soul beasts and a terrifying creature hated by all soul beasts.
That is why it was given a unique title—
A terrifying and evil killer!
The millennium-old human-faced demon spider is not very intelligent and usually relies on instinct when hunting prey.
However, there is one exception.
The Human-Faced Demon Spider is an evil soul beast, and also an extremely vengeful one. Once it holds a grudge against you, it will fight to the death.
Especially those who intend to hunt it, or enemies who have hunted it before, will be absolutely killed if it finds an opportunity.
Meng Yiran is currently in this situation, being hunted down by the human-faced spider.
The human-faced spider is extremely difficult to deal with. It moves silently, and because it is completely black, it is almost impossible to detect its presence in the dark.
Therefore, the human-faced spider is also an extremely skilled nighttime assassin.
With Meng Yiran's strength at the level of a level 30 Great Soul Master, she was no match for a thousand-year-old Human-Faced Demon Spider.
Especially on this pitch-black night.
She had no choice but to run away.
…………
"It's you!"
After a few light leaps, Meng Yiran suddenly stopped, staring at the other side in astonishment.
She finally discovered Ye Qifeng.
I was standing on a big tree less than ten meters away from the opposite side.
When Meng Yiran suddenly encountered Ye Qifeng, she couldn't describe the feeling in her heart. She felt surprised, excited, and a little worried.
Because she is followed by a terrifying human-faced spider, which could potentially lead Ye Qifeng into danger as well.
How could you?
Meng Yiran was about to ask Ye Qifeng why he was here when her expression suddenly changed and her tone froze.
Under the silvery moonlight of the night sky, she saw Ye Qifeng across from her suddenly conjure a strange longsword as black as the night in his hand, and then violently swung it toward her face.
"Don't move!"
Meng Yiran instinctively tried to dodge, but was stopped by a sharp shout from Ye Qifeng on the other side.
For some reason, Meng Yiran actually obeyed him and didn't move an inch.
The next instant, the dark longsword flashed past Meng Yiran's left ear and, with a soft thud, pierced into something.
Meng Yiran finally realized something and stiffly turned her head to look. An extremely ugly and ferocious white face immediately came into view, almost touching her forehead.
"ah--"
A scream immediately burst from her mouth.
"Hiss—"
Just then, that extremely ugly and ferocious pale face also opened its mouth and let out a shrill scream.
The voice was hoarse and strange, and it sounded a little creepy.
Meng Yiran was clearly frightened. In a panic, she lost her footing and suddenly fell backward from the tree branch to the ground.
In the instant she fell, Meng Yiran clearly saw the full appearance of the pale-faced monster.
It was a huge spider with an incredibly strange appearance.
Its main body is over 1.5 meters in diameter, and its eight spear-like spider legs are over 3 meters long. It is entirely black, and its carapace is shiny and bright.
Its abdomen has an extremely ugly and ferocious human face composed of white patterns, with eight small compound eyes that shimmer with a faint purple light.
Meng Yiran recognized the monster at a glance.
It was the thousand-year-old human-faced spider she had hunted with her grandparents.
The pale white face we just saw is the core part of the Human-Faced Demon Spider, and also its vital point.
Just as she was about to crash to the ground, Meng Yiran, who possessed the cultivation of a level 30 Great Soul Master and whose Martial Soul was a snake staff, with a body as supple as a snake, naturally wouldn't let herself just fall flat on the ground like that.
She gently twisted her waist, intending to change her posture and land smoothly, but suddenly found herself falling into a warm embrace, well, in a princess carry.
Meng Yiran was startled and tried to struggle, but when she looked up and saw that incredibly handsome face, she suddenly didn't want to move and let the other person pull her into their arms.
The person who hugged her was naturally Ye Qifeng.
Meng Yiran realized at this moment that the black long knife that Ye Qifeng had suddenly thrown at her was not aimed at her, but rather was to save her life.
She had no idea that the human-faced spider had silently crawled up behind her. If it weren't for Ye Qifeng's strike, she would probably be dead by now.
Meng Yiran was perfectly capable of landing safely on her own, a fact that Ye Qifeng was well aware of.
The reason he caught Meng Yiran was because the human-faced spider had jumped down from the tree right after her, intending to take her life.
Given Meng Yiran's strength, it would be difficult for her to completely dodge the attack; even if she survived, she would most likely be injured.
He naturally couldn't just sit idly by.
Meng Yiran is petite and lightweight, feeling almost weightless in your arms. However, despite her seemingly small body, she has an exceptionally soft and supple feel.
Before he could feel anything more, Ye Qifeng landed with Meng Yiran in his arms and immediately used a mysterious footwork technique to move sideways for more than ten meters, as if shifting horizontally.
Dododododo
At this moment, the spider legs of the human-faced demon spider, sharp as spears, pierced through the phantoms left by Ye Qifeng and Meng Yiran with a howling wind, and stuck into the ground, making a series of thuds.
"Miss Meng, please wait here for a moment. I'll deal with this human-faced demon spider first."
After putting Meng Yiran down, Ye Qifeng whispered a message in her ear.
"Oh, then be careful."
Leaving Ye Qifeng's embrace, Meng Yiran's face was flushed, her mind was a little dazed, and she subconsciously replied with a sentence.
The next moment, she suddenly realized:
"Wait, that's a human-faced demon spider! Go back quickly—"
Before she could finish speaking, Meng Yiran suddenly witnessed a shocking scene.
After putting her down, Ye Qifeng turned around and rushed towards the human-faced demon spider that terrified her.
Night Wind was so fast that it was almost impossible to pinpoint his exact location.
Despite her efforts to widen her eyes, she could only see blurry, illusory figures.
As Ye Qifeng approached, the strange, jet-black longsword that had been there earlier detached from the joint of one of the human-faced spider's forelegs and flew back into Ye Qifeng's hand.
The human-faced spider, in pain, became ferocious. Its seven intact legs moved at lightning speed, creating a series of afterimages, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived above Ye Qifeng's head. Its intact forelegs were raised high and directly stabbed down at Ye Qifeng's head.
Spider legs are as sharp as knives, and spikes as sharp as spears, gleaming coldly in the silvery moonlight.
Facing the spider leg that was about to strike down from the human-faced demon spider, Ye Qifeng neither dodged nor avoided it. Instead, he leaped up, raised the black sword Dark Moon in his hand, and slashed it in a strange arc at the base of the spider leg.
puff-
A three-meter-long spider leg was easily severed at the root.
And it wasn't just this one front leg; with the aid of the Phantom Movement Technique, Ye Qifeng spun around it at a speed the Human-Faced Demon Spider couldn't react to, and with swift, deadly strikes, his blade fell.
