After passing through the last stretch of jungle path, the first thing they saw was the massive and ferocious corpse of the Human-Faced Demon Spider lying on the ground, along with the severely damaged surrounding vegetation.
Next, they saw Tang San sitting cross-legged under the spider's legs, absorbing its soul ring. Judging by the blood mist surrounding Tang San, it was clear that the process of absorbing this soul ring was extremely difficult.
Seeing that the main group had arrived, Flandre said in a deep voice:"We're still late. From my experience, Xiao San must have started absorbing the soul ring about ten minutes ago.
The fortunate thing is that the aura of the millennium Human-Faced Demon Spider was strong enough that no other soul beasts disturbed Xiao San during the absorption process.
I really didn't expect that an already injured Xiao San could still counter-kill such a ferocious creature as the millennium Human-Faced Demon Spider.
Now that the process of absorbing the soul ring has begun, we can only hope that Xiao San's willpower is strong enough. If anything goes wrong with him, I truly don't know how to report this to his teacher."
"Hmph, it's not just his teacher you won't be able to report to—Tang San's father is the main concern, okay?"
Watching Tang San absorb the soul ring of the Human-Faced Demon Spider, blood streaming from his body, Oscar marveled at the power of the Great Universe's Will while mercilessly criticizing:"Tang San, it's fate that the Human-Faced Demon Spider becomes your third soul ring.
Even though our arrival in the Star Dou Forest was delayed by a week, you still managed to encounter the Human-Faced Demon Spider alone while injured.
This is truly a karmic bond between you two. I wonder if this is the same Human-Faced Demon Spider I remember. If so… tsk tsk.
Better wait until Xiao Wu comes back to judge its cultivation level. But judging by how hard you're struggling to absorb it, it probably is the same one."
"Xiao San is far too reckless," Zhao Wuji growled angrily after carefully assessing Tang San's condition:"Even if Xiao Wu was captured, he shouldn't act so blindly. Why didn't he come back to ask us teachers for help?
And where is this place that he dares to start absorbing the soul ring completely unprotected? This is nonsense!"
"That's right. Xiao San's mentality is problematic. He isn't calm in critical situations and insists on handling everything alone.
This is purely the thinking of a lone ranger. When we return, we must teach him the meaning of team awareness, so he knows his individual strength has limits and that he must seek team support when necessary." Following Zhao Wuji, Flandre also spoke, clearly annoyed.
Seeing that Tang San's absorption wouldn't be completed quickly, Oscar set up soul detectors around the area with others, turning the place into a temporary camp.
When Oscar returned, he found that only Zhao Wuji remained in the camp; Flandre and Kaon were nowhere to be seen.
Sensing Oscar's curiosity, Zhao Wuji explained:"Tang San has been found, but there's still no clue about Xiao Wu. Flandre took Kaon to continue searching, but aimless searching might be futile. Let's hope Xiao Wu escapes unharmed."
Hearing the gravity and guilt in Zhao Wuji's voice, Oscar felt a little uneasy. This was truly not their fault—the Forest King Titan Giant Ape was far beyond what Flandre and Zhao Wuji could handle. The current outcome was already good. Apart from Tang San, everyone else only traveled more than expected.
"Teacher Zhao, don't think too much. Who could expect in the Star Dou Forest's outer mixed zone that Xiao Wu and Tang San would encounter a soul beast over fifty thousand years old?
Facing such an unpredictable situation, we can only do our best and pray that Tang San and Xiao Wu are safe." Thinking it over, Oscar could only comfort Zhao Wuji this way. Once Xiao Wu returns, things should be fine.
Turning into the reopened T-shaped No. 1 foam metal cabin, Oscar reheated the roast soul pork and pork bone soup for dinner. He also cooked a pot of noodles with the pork bone soup, dividing it into seven bowls before calling everyone to eat.
Now all they could do was wait, so they had to eat. After eating, they would rotate rest periods.
If Oscar's judgment was wrong and Xiao Wu didn't return tonight, they would need energy to search during the day.
Zhao Wuji understood Oscar's intentions. Without refusing, he ate two large bowls of pork bone noodle soup, and then let Oscar and the six others rest, while he kept watch for the night.
After a quick bath, lying on his bed, Oscar noticed that Oscar (the junior) and Ma Hongjun showed no signs of resting, still very worried about Tang San and Xiao Wu.
Oscar felt both helpless and touched. To have friends who sincerely care for your safety was a blessing."Rest quickly. There's nothing we can do now, so we mustn't let the two directors worry about our condition."
Hearing this, Oscar (junior) and Ma Hongjun forced themselves to rest.
Seeing that it was already past eleven, Oscar chose to meditate in the Omniscient Library before sleeping. Staying in good condition outdoors was most important.
At 3:30 a.m., Oscar was awakened from deep sleep. Opening his eyes, the first thing he saw was Dai Mubai's large face, clearly full of happiness.
Before Oscar could ask, Dai Mubai excitedly said:"Xiao Wu is back! She's fine and has already reached Soul Lord!"
As he spoke, Oscar saw Oscar and Fatty rushing out of the cabin. They clearly couldn't sleep as soundly as Oscar, and woke when Dai Mubai entered.
Outside, Oscar was the last to emerge. Curiously, everyone's gaze seemed fixed on Tang San.
Observing Xiao Wu's expression closely, Oscar noticed it was complex: besides worry, there were traces of pain, hesitation, and regret.
Before Oscar could understand why, Oscar (junior) explained after noticing his brother's confused expression:"Xiao Wu just returned and saw that the soul ring Xiao San is absorbing is over two thousand years old. That's why it's taking him so long."
"So this Human-Faced Demon Spider really is the one from our memories, like the Flame Armor Rhinoceros from his second soul ring. Not only giving a soul ring, but also a bonus high-quality equipment."
Oscar, somewhat speechless, couldn't resist internally commenting. Still, after venting, it was time to focus. The atmosphere in the camp was far too tense.
"Full of energy, charcoal-grilled cheese beef burger." With a clear soul incantation, a burger with double recovery effect appeared in Oscar's hand.
Handing it to Xiao Wu, Oscar said:"Don't be so quiet. At least Xiao Wu is safe. We should trust that Xiao San will also be fine.
Now, try contacting the director. It's been the whole night. The director must be very tired.
Then, if Xiao Wu feels okay, she can tell us what really happened. We've thought of many possibilities. This is probably one of the best outcomes."
Hearing Oscar, Zhao Wuji realized there were other students present; it was too silent and not appropriate.
"I'll contact Flandre. Xiao Wu, eat something and rest. Once Flandre returns, she can explain everything."
