Chapter 78: Titan Ape Pretending to Sleep
The moonlight was dim and the lake was calm.
The shadows of the ancient tree branches swayed by the lake, quiet and beautiful.
"How can it be so beautiful here..."
Shui Bing'er's eyes were shining slightly.
Qin Jian shook his head and said, "If I tell you where this place is, you won't think it's beautiful."
"Where is this place?"
Shui Bing'er became a little nervous.
Qin Jian smiled and said, "This is the center of the Star Dou Great Forest..."
"The center of the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Shui Bing'er widened her eyes: "Isn't that the area where 100,000-year soul beasts appear?!"
Qin Jian nodded and said, "Yes, we may encounter 100,000-year soul beasts at any time now."
Shui Bing'er suddenly tensed up: "Then... what should we do?"
"We can only be careful, try to avoid the soul beasts here, and find a way to return to the outer area..." Qin Jian said.
"By the way, Qin Jian, how did we survive?" Shui Bing'er suddenly asked.
Qin Jian shook his head and said, "I don't know what happened. I just woke up a little earlier than you."
In order to prevent her from exploring this issue, Qin Jian asked again, "You don't seem to call me captain anymore?"
Shui Bing'er blinked her beautiful eyes and whispered, "I... I just don't want to be like the other people in the team..."
"Oh..."
Qin Jian deliberately prolonged his voice.
"There are dangers everywhere here. Let's go!"
Shui Bing'er quickly pulled Qin Jian's hands and pulled him up from the roots of the ancient tree.
"Huh? That is..."
At this time, Shui Bing'er's eyes were suddenly attracted by a touch of icy light in the ancient forest.
"That..."
Qin Jian followed her gaze and said, "Do you feel anything?"
Shui Bing'er's eyes were slightly dazed: "It seems that something is attracting me..."
"Then let's go and have a look."
Qin Jian said nothing, grabbed her little hand, and took her over there.
"Wait... wait..."
Shui Bing'er said with some concern: "Isn't this the place where 100,000-year soul beasts live? Can we really be so casual?"
The one you are holding is a soul beast, and it is at the level of a million-year soul power...
Qin Jian quietly rolled his eyes, but whispered: "It's rare to enter the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest. Maybe you will encounter something you need. How can we miss this opportunity?"
"We just need to be careful." He said.
Shui Bing'er looked at Qin Jian's swaggering walking posture with a head full of question marks.
What do you mean by being careful? Are you strolling in your own backyard?!
"Hulu... Hulu..."
At this time, after walking hundreds of meters away, the two suddenly heard a thunderous breathing sound.
"Qin... Qin Jian... what is that?" Shui Bing'er nervously grabbed Qin Jian's hand.
"Maybe it was a 100,000-year soul beast..." Qin Jian said nonchalantly.
Shui Bing'er's pupils slightly widened: "Then... let's run quickly and don't go over there again."
"Let's take a look first..."
Qin Jian had no intention of looking back at all. He pulled Shui Bing'er, who was tense, and walked through the jungle.
Soon, the scene in front of them suddenly became clear.
Shui Bing'er looked up and was stunned: "This... this is..."
"Oh... it seems to be the Titan Ape..."
Qin Jian leaned close to her ear and said, "If I remember correctly, it is the king of the forest, absolutely true."
"Ah..."
Shui Bing'er was so nervous that she couldn't even speak properly: "I... we... walk... run..."
"Don't worry..."
Qin Jian pointed at the Titan Ape lying on its back and said, "It's obviously asleep, there's no danger for the time being."
"What if it wakes up?" Shui Bing'er finally felt a little relieved.
"That's fine, take a look at that, is it something useful to you?" Qin Jian suddenly pointed to a small ice-blue flower next to the Titan Ape's hand.
"That's..."
Shui Bing'er's eyes lit up slightly: "No wonder I was attracted to it, it's actually an Ice Phoenix Flower!"
"Ice Phoenix Flower? What is that?" Qin Jian asked.
A hint of desire flashed in Shui Bing'er's eyes: "Ice Phoenix Flower, the flower that grows with the Ice Phoenix in the rumor, has the function of stimulating the Ice Phoenix Spirit."
"So, it's very useful to you?" Qin Jian was a little happy.
Shui Bing'er nodded and said, "It is very useful. With it, I can release the Ice Phoenix Spirit by myself in the future without relying on the assistance of others."
"Then wait, I will go get it for you."
Qin Jian was about to go over without saying anything, but he was immediately grabbed by Shui Bing'er's hand: "Don't! Qin Jian, don't go!"
There was panic in her voice: "That is the king of the forest. If you accidentally wake it up, you will be dead!"
Qin Jian turned around and smiled: "Whatever my Bing'er needs, I will get it for you even if it is from heaven to earth. What is the king of the forest!"
The snoring of the Titan Ape paused for a moment...
A big rabbit peeking from an ancient tree not far away didn't stand firmly and fell down...
The lake under the moon was sparkling and seemed to be shaking...
But Shui Bing'er's eyes were hazy, her mind was floating, and she didn't know where she was for a while.
When she came to her senses, she saw Qin Jian had tiptoed to the side of the Titan Ape, and she covered her cherry lips nervously.
Qin Jian slowly walked to the Titan Ape's palm and was about to bend over to pick the Ice Phoenix Flower...
"Snoring..."
But at this moment, the Titan Ape suddenly snored, and then turned over, from lying flat to sleeping on his side.
The Ice Phoenix Flower that was about to be picked was actually covered by its huge palm...
Shui Bing'er's heart almost jumped out of her chest when she saw this change...
But Qin Jian was still not in a hurry. He bent over and got into the gap between the Titan Ape's fingers, approaching the Ice Phoenix Flower under its palm...
Shui Bing'er held her breath...
Just when Qin Jian was about to pick the Ice Phoenix Flower again, the Titan Ape seemed to be sleeping uncomfortably, and the palm covering Qin Jian and the Ice Phoenix Flower unconsciously grabbed the ground.
Shui Bing'er almost screamed.
Fortunately, Qin Jian and the Ice Phoenix Flower were lucky enough not to be caught by the Titan Ape.
But at this time, Qin Jian's space for maneuvering was completely squeezed out, and he couldn't get close to the Ice Phoenix Flower at all.
"Qin Jian... don't pick them anymore... I don't want them anymore... I don't want them anymore..." Shui Bing'er said in a crying voice.
But she didn't dare to speak loudly, and even if Qin Jian heard her, he would pretend not to hear her, so it was destined to have no effect.
At this time, Qin Jian's actions scared Shui Bing'er so much that she forgot to breathe.
He used both hands to push away the Titan Ape's fingers that were blocking the way...
But the little space left was not enough, so he pushed away another finger...
Finally, he could pick the flowers again. Shui Bing'er's heart, which had been raised to her throat, dropped an inch...
But the trouble was not over yet. The Titan Ape seemed to feel uncomfortable with its fingers at this time, and it tightened them again, not only squeezing out all the space, but also pressing Qin Jian to the ground with its palm!
"Qin Jian!"
Shui Bing'er almost rushed over, and only stopped when she found Qin Jian shaking his head slightly.
Qin Jian turned his face to a direction that Shui Bing'er couldn't see, and whispered unhappily: "Er Ming, if you do this again, I will bring Xiao Wu back to beat you up together next time!"
