Chapter 106: Ning Bei's Death
Tang San had seen this kind of soul beast in the soul beast illustration given by the master. It was a violent dragon-type soul beast. A 1,000-year-old one had a height of 10 meters, a 10,000-year-old one was 15 meters tall, and the one before them had a height of 20 meters, representing a 100,000-year-old soul beast.
"Teacher Zhao, this is the 100,000-year-old Earth Tyrannosaurus, a perfect combination of power and defense."
"What? 100,000 years?"
Zhao Wuji initially thought it was just a powerful 10,000-year-old soul beast, but hearing Tang San's explanation, his eyes nearly popped out.
Even Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, who usually remained calm, started getting nervous.
"Rongrong, Ning Bei should still be around, right?"
Ning Rongrong swallowed nervously, turning her head mechanically to look at her companion.
"He… he should be, right?"
In her heart, she hoped her older brother wouldn't let his beloved younger sister come to the dangerous Star Dou Forest alone.
"Dai Mubai, no more talking, now, immediately, take everyone and run out of the forest. Do you hear me?"
Dai Mubai nodded urgently, knowing that even if they stayed, they would only drag everyone down.
He quickly turned and signaled to the others to run out.
Tang San, who usually maintained a noble demeanor, immediately began using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Steps with all his might when Zhao Wuji gave the command. His speed was so fast that even Zhu Zhuqing, an agile attacker, could only keep up with difficulty.
"I haven't found my father yet, nor have I fulfilled my teacher's expectations. I can't fall here. Sorry, everyone, I don't need to outrun the Earth Tyrannosaurus; I just need to be faster than you."
The Shrek group looked at Tang San's rapidly receding figure with disdain. Though his actions could be understood, it was too much; they still had two support soul masters behind them!
Oscar also didn't fall behind. He quickly released his martial spirit, shouting, "I have a mushroom sausage!"
"Everyone, hurry and eat, we'll fly out!"
The others quickly took the sausages from him. In the face of such a formidable threat, no one cared about how awkward the soul skills were. Survival was the most important thing.
Zhao Wuji saw the Earth Tyrannosaurus drooling, showing no sign of slowing down. He quickly transformed into his mighty King Kong Bear form.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul True Body."
After transforming, Zhao Wuji charged at the Earth Tyrannosaurus, planning to buy time for the students to escape.
But what seemed like a great plan was met with harsh reality. With just one blow, the intimidating King Kong Bear was knocked to the ground and lost consciousness.
Ning Bei jumped down from the giant tree, watching Zhao Wuji swing wildly at the air in his Martial Soul True Body state. After a few seconds, Zhao Wuji collapsed, having reverted to his normal form.
"Little Butterfly, well done."
Little Butterfly didn't respond, only smiling shyly.
Now, it was time for these two silly girls to be taught a lesson.
The Shrek group stood still, their bodies mimicking the motion of running, their facial expressions contorted with effort. Their movements showed all the desperation they felt.
Especially Tang San, who, while exerting effort, also had a triumphant smile on his face.
In the illusion, after the Shrek members ate the mushroom sausage, they flew for a minute before stopping. They nervously looked behind them, but there was no movement.
"Did Teacher Zhao defeat the Earth Tyrannosaurus?"
"Maybe?"
Just as they were beginning to feel relieved that they had survived, the ground beneath them started shaking again. The loud "boom" sound echoed.
The massive head of the Earth Tyrannosaurus appeared once again in front of them.
"Damn, did Teacher Zhao get killed?"
"Fatty, stop saying nonsense! Teacher Zhao wouldn't die so easily."
"But..."
Before they could continue talking, the Earth Tyrannosaurus roared angrily and immediately charged at them.
"This is bad."
Seeing this, Dai Mubai immediately activated his White Tiger Vajra Transformation. Ning Rongrong, ignoring her dislike for the beast, quickly cast three buffs on him.
But a 100,000-year-old soul beast's attack was not so easily resisted. Within seconds, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, and Oscar were all struck down, their bodies torn apart and scattered across the ground.
"Ah!"
Ning Rongrong, who had been pampered her whole life, had never seen anything like this. She screamed and tightly hugged Xiao Wu, trembling in place.
"Boom, boom."
The Earth Tyrannosaurus slowly approached them, each footstep like a hammer striking their hearts.
A few seconds later, Ning Rongrong finally broke down in tears.
"Ahhh! Brother, where are you? Please come save us!"
"Yes, Ning Bei, please come save me and Rongrong! We don't want to die! I haven't even eaten the mango snowflake and orange chocolate muffin I bought!"
It seemed that the two girls' cries reached someone's ears. Ning Bei's figure appeared between them and the Earth Tyrannosaurus.
The two girls instantly brightened up.
"Brother!"
"Ning Bei!"
Ning Bei didn't pay attention to them. His expression was serious as he looked at the Earth Tyrannosaurus.
"Both of you, run! I'll handle this beast."
"Brother, we won't leave. Please call Ah Bao out and kill it! This bastard tried to kill me!"
"That's right! And call out Da Ming and Er Ming, smash this filthy dragon's head in!"
Seeing Ning Bei appear, the two girls immediately felt reassured. Their backs straightened, and their legs grew stronger as they shouted loudly.
Ning Bei shook his head, indicating he couldn't do what they asked.
"Didn't you notice how strange it is that this guy showed up here? This is a man-made beast wave. I've already sent Ah Bao and the others to handle it. Now, I have to face this monster alone."
"What?"
"How... how could this be?"
Upon hearing this, the two girls froze in shock.
"Don't argue. Rongrong, help me with support and then quickly escape."
"No, I won't leave you alone!"
"That's right, we want to fight with Ning Bei!"
Ning Bei looked at the two girls with a sense of pride. It seemed that all the care he had given them over the years had not been in vain, but at the same time, he felt guilty.
"Rongrong, you're the best support in the world. Remember what you said when you awakened your martial soul? You'll assist your brother in defeating the bad guys. Now the opportunity is here. Help me, then run quickly. If you stay here, I'll have to protect you and split my focus."
"But... but!"
Ning Bei didn't listen to their protests. He summoned his Hurricane Eagle and swiftly flew the two girls away.
Seeing that they were flying farther and farther away, Ning Rongrong quickly summoned the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, giving Ning Bei three buffs at maximum range.
"Brother, you must come back alive!"
"That's right, Ning Bei, if you can't win, run away quickly. Wait for Da Ming and Er Ming to come back."
Slowly, Ning Bei's figure disappeared from their sight.
The oppressive atmosphere lingered around the two girls, and they were unsure of what they were thinking.
Maybe they regretted not training harder. Right now, they could do nothing to help.
"Xiao Wu, when we get back, let's train hard. At least we won't just have to run when danger comes!"
Xiao Wu nodded solemnly at Ning Rongrong's words, agreeing to train harder in the future.
Just as the two were exchanging thoughts, a piercing scream came from the forest ahead.
The voice was familiar to both of them. It was Ning Bei's.
Ning Rongrong seemed to lose all her strength and collapsed on the eagle's back.
"Brother?"
Xiao Wu, unable to believe it, covered her mouth, her eyes filled with tears.
"Hey, Little Rabbit, now you have two choices. One is to come back with us to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the other is for us to kill you and take your soul bones. Choose."
The scene of their first meeting replayed in Xiao Wu's mind. She couldn't tell when, but the boy who had once threatened her had gained an important place in her heart.
