Chapter 340
Well done!
At this moment, she looked at the unconscious Tang San with worried and heartbroken eyes, and slowly explained in a voice trembling with lingering fear:
"I...I don't know the specifics. That Titan ape grabbed me like it was holding a rag doll and ran frantically into the depths of the forest. It was so fast that the surrounding trees became blurry shadows, and I felt the wind stinging my face."
Xiao Wu spoke at a moderate pace, trying her best to recall the scene and create a sense of realism.
"It ran for... I can't say exactly how far. It felt like a long time, but also like very short time, just as I was about to faint from fright..."
Xiao Wu paused for a moment, as if trying to recall a key detail.
Suddenly, from another direction in the forest came a very, very deep, and very, very loud roar!
She gestured with her hands, trying to describe the immense and terrifying nature of the sound.
"That sound... it sounded... very strange. It didn't sound like an ordinary animal roar. Instead, it sounded more like... more like the mooing of a gigantic old bull? Yes, it was that kind of deep, long, majestic 'moo' that sent shivers down your spine, but amplified countless times, making the entire forest tremble!"
"The sound of a cow?"
Flander frowned, his eyes filled with confusion and seriousness.
"What kind of beast could make the Titan Giant Ape so nervous? Could it be... some kind of powerful, ten-thousand-year-old soul beast?"
He subconsciously looked at the knowledgeable Dragon God and Snake Goddess.
Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise and uncertainty in each other's eyes.
In all their long lives, they had never heard of any bovine spirit beast that could make the Titan Giant Ape wary.
Xiao Wu nodded vigorously, her eyes revealing genuine fear.
"It really is! That's the sound! As soon as the Titan Ape heard that sound, its massive body suddenly stopped!"
"I could feel its claws tighten around me, and then its big, yellowish-brown eyes looked very alertly and nervously in the direction from which the sound came!"
"It even...it even trembled a little!"
She paused, then continued describing the crucial moment.
"Then, it looked down at me with a complicated expression, as if it was hesitant, or perhaps a little... impatient? Or... wary? I can't quite put my finger on it."
"Then, it suddenly threw me like trash into the bushes next to it! I didn't have time to react, and all I felt was dizziness!"
"Just as it threw me out, it let out an extremely angry and extremely loud roar in the direction from which the 'cow bellow' came! The sound...it was almost deafening!"
Xiao Wu covered her ears, as if she could still feel the terror of the sound waves.
"I just felt an indescribable shockwave hit me, and everything went black. I don't know anything anymore."
She described the last moments before she "fell into a coma," her voice filled with lingering fear.
"When I... when I woke up, it was almost dark. That terrifying Titan Ape was nowhere to be seen. But... but the scene was... so terrifying!"
Xiao Wu's voice trembled genuinely; it wasn't entirely fake. Er Ming's roar to drive away the soul beasts was indeed incredibly powerful.
"I was lying on the ground, and all around me... within a radius of several dozen meters, there was a complete mess! So many soul beasts, big and small, were all lying on the ground, many of them unconscious and their bodies were still twitching."
"And some...some smaller, weaker-looking soul beasts were directly...directly killed by that roar! Blood flowed from their seven orifices, their eyes were wide open, their deaths...so gruesome!"
Xiao Wu's lips trembled slightly, and her face paled. This scene was a description she had imagined based on the power of Er Ming's beast-driving ability, and it was terrifying enough.
"I...I was so scared that my legs went weak, and all I wanted to do was get out of that horrible place as quickly as possible."
Xiao Wu took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. "Just as I was struggling to get up... suddenly, a strange feeling welled up inside me."
Her voice, at this point, carried a hint of surprise and bewilderment that she herself hadn't fully anticipated, making this half-serious, half-feigned expression all the more convincing.
"I felt... a warm current surging from deep within my body, and all my soul power became incredibly active, as if it were cheering and leaping with joy. I instinctively sat down cross-legged... and then, and then I discovered..."
Xiao Wu raised her head, looked at Flander, and then glanced around at the crowd who were also holding their breath and looking shocked. She spoke in an incredulous tone.
"I've discovered... my soul power bottleneck... it seems... it seems I've broken through it? I... I think I'm already level 30!"
"what?!"
Flander gasped in shock, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets, and even the hand supporting Tang San trembled.
"You...you're already level 30?!"
The stark contrast left Flander's mind reeling.
Oscar's mouth dropped open, and he almost dropped the giant sausage he was holding.
Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others all looked like they had seen a ghost.
Dragon Lord Meng Shu gasped in shock, and Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang looked utterly incredulous.
Meng Yiran looked at Xiao Wu with a complicated expression, a mixture of envy and an indescribable emotion—why are all the students at Shrek Academy so…weird?
How could someone be captured by a Titan Ape and still come back alive, even breaking through to a higher level of soul power?
"Xiao Wu, who's older, you or Tang San?"
Flander pressed on urgently, needing confirmation that the speed of this breakthrough was outrageously reasonable.
Xiao Wu was a little embarrassed by everyone's reactions, but she still answered honestly.
“I’m a few months younger than him.”
This answer undoubtedly left Flander and the others even more confused.
He was a few months younger than Tang San, yet in almost the same thrilling encounter, he broke through to level 30 in an almost impossible way!
This is simply a fantasy!
"Then... then are you also going to acquire a spirit ring?"
Flander's voice trembled slightly as he stared intently at Xiao Wu.
"After you woke up, did you encounter any suitable soul beasts?"
He himself found the question absurd when he asked it, but Xiao Wu's experience itself was full of absurdity.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu immediately replied:
"I did indeed absorb a spirit beast that had been roared into a stupor, and I obtained the spirit ring!"
Just then, Lin Xia, who had been silently observing, deepened the playful smile on her lips.
He clearly sensed that in the shadow of a tree not far from here, a faint aura belonging to a 100,000-year-old soul beast was quietly receding.
Erming has confirmed that Xiaowu has returned safely and has heard the story she fabricated.
Lin Xia's gaze swept over the unconscious Tang San, over the astonished crowd, and finally landed on Xiao Wu, who was trying her best to play the role of a lucky survivor.
The acting was quite good. (End of Chapter)
