From afar, the Ape King's cries echoed, as Xiao Qiu passed through several layers of forest.
After running for a distance, the Ape King's miserable cries once again drifted over from afar.
Perhaps his injuries were truly too severe!
In the time that followed, after a brief rest, Xiao Qiu utilized the advantage of his Sharingan to continuously provoke various Spirit Beasts.
Wherever Xiao Qiu passed, any Spirit Beast he encountered was bound to suffer a beating, to the point where he almost dug out all the earthworms from the ground.
On the journey,
There were large pythons that coiled and turned, and after a few rounds of entanglement, Xiao Qiu controlled them to tie themselves into knots.
There were fierce tigers, which, under the hypnosis of the Sharingan, transformed into little kittens inseparable from their litter box attendant, with a first-class feel when petted.
Others petted cats, Xiao Qiu petted tigers; for a moment, it was hard to tell who was the real tiger!
There were also strong and robust black bears (bears); honey lured the enemy, bear paws were delicious, and he chased them all the way with a sleeve arrow in hand, "I am Xiao Qiu, remember me!"
And there were the depraved and disgusting Storm Devil Wolves, the culprits behind the Wolftaken. For such disgusting beasts, Xiao Qiu aimed between their hind legs and unleashed a barrage of attacks, swinging a sledgehammer in their crotch, giving them a heavy blow!
First castration, then slaughter, to show his disgust!
Unbeknownst to him, two days had already passed since he arrived at the Hunting Soul Forest. Through various battles over these two days, Xiao Qiu could basically confirm that with his pupil power, he could control Spirit Beasts up to nine hundred years old at most.
Spirit Beasts over a thousand years old were truly a bit too much and extremely unstable. While controlling a thousand-year-old Giant Anaconda, he almost had an accident and nearly had half his head bitten off; thankfully, he was quick.
However, Xiao Qiu also discovered that Spirit Beasts become easier to control after being injured, especially when on the verge of death, it's simply too easy.
He already had a perfect plan in his mind; he wouldn't need to lift a finger to obtain a purple first spirit ring!
Standing on a treetop, Xiao Qiu looked towards the Brutal Ape Canyon where he had previously stabbed, and nodded slightly, "Hmm, that's a very good burial ground."
"However, I should also go find some helpers!"
...
Inside Nuoding City,
Xiao Wu's eyes were a bit red and swollen.
She couldn't find Xiao Qiu.
"Xiao Qiu, where on earth did you go?"
Xiao Wu held a blood-stained black ribbon in her hand. She had found it on a tree branch outside the city. She wouldn't be mistaken; this was Xiao Qiu's item!
'Xiao Qiu must have encountered some accident!'
Clutching the ribbon tightly, she turned her head and glanced at Tang San, who was secretly watching her from the street corner, her eyes filled with icy coldness!
'If anything happens to Xiao Qiu, Tang San must die!'
She made up her mind inwardly. Her intuition told her that the bloodstains on it must be related to Tang San!
Xiao Qiu had only been gone for a few days, and this scoundrel dared to jump around in front of her, not only speaking ill of Xiao Qiu but also wanting to give her some Zhuge Repeating Crossbow. It was too much of a coincidence.
Folding the ribbon neatly, she put it into the small pouch at her waist and walked towards the carving workshop where Xiao Qiu worked. There was an old couple there; perhaps they knew something about Xiao Qiu.
She quickly ran into a nearby alley, using the terrain to shake off the scoundrels following her.
If Xiao Qiu hadn't warned her not to harm Tang San before he left, she wouldn't have just shaken him off; she would have at least given him a good loosening of his bones!
Tang San stood at the alley entrance, looking left and right, "Xiao Wu? Is she still unable to accept reality? Is Xiao Qiu really that good?"
"It's okay, I'll always wait for you!"
Who was Tang San? Without Xiao Qiu, he was the closest male to Xiao Wu!
He had all sorts of strange and unusual things. Xiao Wu, with her strong curiosity, would definitely be attracted to him!
...
While Xiao Wu was rushing to the carving workshop,
In the Hunting Soul Forest, there was a strange sight: a boy of eight or nine years old was riding on the back of a six-hundred-year-old Spirit Beast.
This was a tiger Spirit Beast. Xiao Qiu had walked into its lair and ridden it out.
He was controlling it to carry him towards the Brutal Ape Canyon.
"Hiss~" Without a tiger saddle, Xiao Qiu felt like his backside was going to be shaken into several pieces. Fortunately, the distance wasn't too far.
The entrance to the canyon was as if a yellow whirlwind had swept through, and one person and one tiger appeared there.
With such a large commotion, the Brutal Apes inside immediately discovered them!
The Ape King's eyes instantly widened. This human in front of him was the fellow who had injured him so deeply.
"Roar!" The king's roar incited the Brutal Apes to a frenzy. They used their hands as feet and quickly charged towards Xiao Qiu.
"Little Tiger! Give them a taste of their own medicine!" He patted Little Yellow's back, and it quickly sprang into action.
Its tiger claws struck wherever they were pointed, carrying Xiao Qiu through a wild charge. The Brutal Apes were scattered, revealing the Ape King behind the group.
"Hehe… still haven't learned your lesson? I'll deal with you one more time today!" Looking at the Ape King, who was already poised for battle, Xiao Qiu felt that its courage was commendable. The impression left last time wasn't deep enough!
"Little Tiger, go get him!"
"Roar!"
Xiao Qiu jumped down, rolled a few times on the ground to dissipate the force, and stood up again. Both man and tiger charged forward.
"Ugh roar~" The Ape King in its berserk state actually held its own against the six-hundred-year-old Little Tiger. However...
Xiao Qiu was the key to victory between them. If the Ape King didn't look at him, he couldn't effectively make his move.
He smoothly executed a sliding tackle, coming under the Ape King, and kicked at that 'bag' of things.
Xiao Qiu's move was truly despicable, helping the tiger to do evil. When strength wasn't enough, trickery filled the void.
With one kick, the Ape King immediately exited its berserk state, clutching its 'bag', and fell to the ground!
Controlling Little Tiger to block the other Brutal Apes, Xiao Qiu came before the Ape King.
"Tsk, it's much easier to control it with an illusion this way, otherwise I'd have to jump up."
Blood light flickered in his eyes. The Ape King, who had been writhing, no longer rolled, but numbly got up and stood behind Xiao Qiu.
He controlled it to lead its tribe out of this canyon; he was requisitioning this place!
Next, the plan began!
Spending some time, he divided the satchel of explosives he had been carrying on his back into several portions and placed them at various locations in the canyon.
Clap clap! He clapped his hands, calling over Little Tiger, who was currently eating. He mounted its back, "Time to lure that Giant Anaconda over."
...
In the dense forest, a tiger was running for its life. The bushes behind it continuously rustled, and a Giant Anaconda over ten meters long burst out. A faint, fishy stench permeated the air.
That cunning human in front had provoked it several times; what an uncle could tolerate, an aunt could not! It had never seen anyone so arrogant in its life!
"Hiss hiss~" The all-black Giant Anaconda flicked its tongue, its body constantly twisting. It could adapt to any terrain, and its moving speed was steady.
Xiao Qiu, meanwhile, continuously slapped the tiger's back beneath him, "Giddy up… Faster, faster!"
"Roar," Little Tiger responded with a low growl. It had never been so aggrieved in its life. Not only was it not fed, but it also had to work like an ox or a horse. They wanted the tiger to run, but wouldn't give the tiger enough to eat.
To survive, it had no choice but to follow Xiao Qiu all the way to the end, and besides, its actions were not its own to control.
Ding ding!
Sparks flew from the Giant Anaconda's forehead. Whenever it was about to give up the chase, Xiao Qiu would take out his sleeve arrows and fire two shots at its darkened glabella.
Not very damaging, but extremely insulting!
"Hiss-ha~" The Giant Anaconda opened its blood-red mouth, blowing out a gust of foul wind, vowing to tear apart and swallow alive the human who had provoked it!
Fortunately, Xiao Qiu had been using his Sharingan to observe the road conditions, trying his best not to go towards populated areas.
