A sudden gale swept sand, stones, and shattered branches and trunks toward the crowd.
The immense wind resistance caused Tang Sui to kneel directly on the ground. The fox mask protecting her had a faint glow in its vacant eyes, and the ape mask’s crimson pupils also lit up red.
Red and green light spewed from their eye sockets, forming a red and green interwoven energy barrier. Anchored by them and fueled by Tang Sui's demonic power and mental strength, the barrier was erected to protect Tang Sui and block the flying debris.
"Warning—Mental Strength is about to fall below the critical point! Remaining Mental Strength: 860—"
The system’s voice grew sharper. The vast difference in soul power and mental strength not only immobilized Tang Sui but also filled her with a profound sense of powerlessness.
"830—"
Her demonic power had not been significantly depleted recently, making it more than enough to construct the barrier. However, to resist the mental impact, she had to infuse mental strength into her demonic power to stabilize the barrier…
Even with soul masters of similar levels, she would have had ample power. But once both elements diverged, she was like a weakened bow at its limit…
"800—"
Tang Sui lowered her head, her hair, blown by the wind, swirled in chaotic arcs around her ears.
The moment her demonic power and mental strength were controlled by the fox and ape masks to spontaneously form the barrier, the Titan Giant Ape, still in its roaring stance, its massive, amber eyes moved. With a hint of confusion, it turned its gaze toward Tang Sui's position.
However, its expression was blurred by the raging gale and the swirling obstacles, unseen by anyone.
"Rongrong, hide quickly!" Oscar, clinging to a seemingly sturdy tree with all his limbs, didn't forget to remind Ning Rongrong behind him.
Ning Rongrong had already been knocked to the ground by the fierce wind. Facing the immense resistance, she was like an ant against an elephant, utterly unable to defend herself.
"Fatty!"
Dai Mubai, clutching his chest and retreating behind a giant tree, saw Ma Hongjun rolling on the ground, trying to extinguish the self-ignited phoenix fire. His expression changed, but the terrifying wind resistance made it impossible for him to move forward.
"Bang!"
Riding the force and direction of the gale, Tang San, who had leaped up, accurately kicked Ma Hongjun’s backside as he approached. He sent him rolling like a ball toward Dai Mubai. Amidst Ma Hongjun’s yelp of pain, Dai Mubai grabbed him by the back of his shirt and pulled him behind the thick tree trunk for cover.
As a Soul Saint, Zhao Wuji was not as distressed as Tang San and the others, but he was still blown away. He grunted mid-air, feeling a slight dizziness and a significant impact.
"Roar—!"
The Titan Giant Ape retracted its roar, which contained a mental shock. Its mountain-like colossal body finally began to move.
"Not good!"
Zhao Wuji's expression changed drastically, but it was too late to stop the extremely fast-moving Titan Giant Ape from leaping through the gale.
In the blink of an eye, its massive body lunged from its spot, descending like Mount Tai upon the little monsters who had been blown behind him.
"This is bad!"
Zhao Wuji, his body still airborne from the strong wind, was flying diagonally upwards with inertia. Even if he wanted to rescue them, it was too late to turn back.
"Run!"
Zhao Wuji's roar was swallowed by the whistling wind generated by the Titan Giant Ape's movement.
Oscar, who had been clinging to a giant tree, saw Ning Rongrong directly in the Titan Giant Ape's path. His eyes sharpened, and he unhesitatingly released his grip on the tree. Riding the wind, he lunged forward, throwing himself over Ning Rongrong and pressing her arched back flat with his weight. They narrowly avoided being grazed by the Titan Giant Ape's lower belly.
Protected by Oscar's body, Ning Rongrong's eyes reflected Oscar's stubborn, defiant look as he faced his potential death. Her pupils trembled slightly.
Oscar…
"Boom—!"
The Titan Giant Ape landed with a thud. Its gaze, which should have been fixed on its intended target, did not follow another pink shadow. Instead, it landed on Tang Sui, who was using her demonic power to maintain the barrier, protected by the two masks. Su Dan Fiction Network.
Er Ming?!
Xiao Wu, who had been constantly observing the Titan Giant Ape's movements from the corner of her eye, paled. A sense of foreboding washed over her, and anxiety was almost spilling from her eyes.
What was going on with Er Ming?
Why was he heading towards Sui Sui?!
Using the wind and inertia, Xiao Wu landed on a tree branch and frantically turned back, almost colliding with Tang San, who was following her.
"Xiao Wu, what are you doing?!"
"The Titan Giant Ape is going after Sui Sui!" Xiao Wu's pink eyes were filled with panic. Tang San's expression stiffened, and he turned his head almost mechanically, watching his petite sister sitting directly in the Titan Giant Ape's path. If that house-sized palm of the Titan Giant Ape fell, Tang Sui would be crushed into a meat patty!
"Sui Sui, dodge quickly—!"
Tang San's composed expression was torn apart by intense fear and anger. His steps were agile but filled with frantic haste as he charged toward Tang Sui.
"Roar—!"
The Titan Giant Ape looked at the small cub before it, which suddenly emitted an aura that made even it feel uneasy. It let out a threatening roar, wanting the cub to move aside.
Yes, a cub.
As it drew closer, the Titan Giant Ape, through the unique connection and sensing abilities of soul beasts, detected a faint aura of a soul beast on Tang Sui.
