Chapter 22 - Er Ming

___________________________

Star Dou Forest,

As one of the three big wild spirit beast habitats, this naturally was the place Spirit Masters most wished to be able to hunt, because every time coming here, meant they would advance.

Nobody could say clearly for just how many years Star Dou Great Forest had existed on Douluo Continent, but after entering the forest, that hiding the sky and covering the earth lushness was sufficient to tell people it was an ancient existence.

While they were running deep inside, Zhao Wuji explained all the hidden danger that they will encounter in the forest. He also reprimanded to be careful and alert at the same time.

Once they were inside, they encounter a lot of spirit beasts from small to big and young to old. They took a detour everytime they meet one as Tang San said that if a battle occurs, the scent of blood and noise will possibly attract powerful spirit beasts.

After moving forward for about two hours. Zhao Wuji this time ordered to rest as it was already noon "Well, everyone rest a moment."

Upon hearing, John and the others then cleared away the surrounding brambles with one swing, creating a nearly one hundred square metres open space. Everyone sat down leaning against some trees, temporarily recovering.

While resting, suddenly John, Tang San and Zhao Wuji's gazes simultaneously turned in one direction.

Zhao Wuji shouted in a loud voice "Get up, there is something approaching."

Tang San and Co. then make a battle formation and released their spirits.

..................

After waiting for a while, they could now clearly sense that the creature was approaching at a very high speed.

"Zhu Zhuqing, take a look at what it is." Zhao Wuji ordered in a low voice.

Zhu Zhuqing then leaped and climbed a large tree to look in the direction of the spirit beast is.

Very quickly, Zhu Zhuqing's clear and cold voice came from the tree, "It looks like a flying serpent, only it doesn't fly very high, it can only fly about three metres off the ground. On its head is a crest, it would appear still larger than its head, bright red like blood. Its tail is comparatively unusual, fan shaped."

Zhao Wuji's eyes shone, saying "It's a Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent, this kind of spirit beast is rare, the crest on top of its head has many fantastic effects, Oscar, you've been blessed today.

They then talked about how to handle the spirit beast.

..................

---One minute later---

Zhu Zhuqing then notified " It's here."

A huge snake can be seen, appearing six or seven metres long. On the top of its head was a bright red comb, looking somewhat odious. Its rapidly advancing body arriving just right to run into Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing then attacked to distract and slow its speed but the spirit beast reacted very quickly. It opened its mouth wide towards Zhu Zhuqing, spraying a seven colored thick fog.

Upon seeing the situation, Ning Rongrong then used a spirit ability "Seven Treasure Words, second spoken: Speed."

Zhu Zhuqing then evade but her situation was still not good.

John on the ground was thinking while seeing Zhu Zhuqing and the spirit beast fight, he then summoned Infinity in his inventory.

After holding Infinity, John then said "Transform: Bow"

Infinity then became a bow. No matter what you look the bow was very ordinary. The special thing that could only be seen was the exquisite patterns on it. John then bought several Ice arrows in the store.

John then shoot several arrows and targeted the spirit beast especially its wings. Upon contact with the arrow, some part of its wings froze. John did not stop until its two wings were completely froze.

The spirit beast without the support of its wings, finally falls down.

..Bang..

The sound of crashing down can be heard.

Tang San and the others looked at John. John's marksmanship was not on their plan but his response of the situation was superb. Zhao Wuji just nodded after seeing John's action.

They then looked at his weapon and think where did it came from.

"Thank you" Zhu Zhuqing give thanks while blushing.

John nodded and then looked at the spirit beast. He said "If you don't hurry, the spirit beast might die."

Zhao Wuji then woke up after hearing John's words. He then said "Oscar, immediately kill the spirit beast and absorb the spirit ring."

Upon hearing, Oscar then moved forward and thrust a sword into the spirit beast throat. The spring ring then floated. He then sat down and focus on absorbing the spirit ring.

While Oscar was in midst of absorbing, two people leapt out from the direction the Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent had come flying, appearing before everyone.These two people were one old and one young women.

The two looked and saw Oscar who was now meditating and absorbing the spirit beast. The two women then became angry especially the old woman.

"What's the matter?" Upon seeing the two women, Zhao Wuji stood up and asked.

The old woman knitted her eye brows and then looked at Zhao Wuji "Fellow spirit master, this spirit beast was hunted by us first unfortunately it escaped. We followed it and came to this direction. But now the spirit was killed by you people. Shouldn't you give any compensation?"

"Compensation, you say?. Even if you have the proof that you hunted it first, it was now killed and currently one of my students was absorbing its spirit ring. What can you do about it?" Zhao Wuji knew that these two women came for trouble. He didn't feel afraid and just look at them.

"Tsk" The old woman then released his spirit and six spirit rings then floated in the old woman's body,

Tang San and the others just looked at the old woman.

Zhao Wuji on the other felt being provoked. He then released his spirit and said "Only a spirit emperor and still have the courage to provoke me."

The old women and the young one were surprised and then feel afraid after looking at the seven spirit rings around Zhao Wuji.

The old woman then coughed, making her facial expression soften, "Greetings, respected Spirit Saint, I apologise by my sudden action."

The old woman knew that the other party was more stronger than her. She then moved the young woman closed to her in case something might happen.

Zhao Wuji then recalled his spirit and looked at them. He did not also want to start a fight with this old woman as he thought that they maybe come from a prestigious clan. He then said "Well, we were also sorry but this spirit beast was also suitable for one of my students."

The old woman looked at Oscar and thought that he was younger than his granddaughter. She think the this children here are geniuses. She then said "Then, we should also leave to find another suitable spirit beast."

The young woman was angry at first but still followed the old woman.

After they left, Zhao Wuji and the others find a placed and relaxed.

John on the hand regretted what he did earlier 'Tsk, I shouldn't have interfered. I should have waited and then picked up some skills. Next time, I should just be a bystander and watched them in the sidelines.'

'Well, we still have the main event to come, I will probably picked up all the skills of Zhao Wuji.' John after thinking what will happen suddenly became excited.

..................

After waiting and protecting Oscar for how many hours, the color of the sky was already dark.

In the midst of their waiting, Oscar suddenly opened his eyes, in a split second, a change suddenly appeared in that pink light over his body, becoming a beautiful pink, the entire person bathed in this layer of pink light.

Three spirit rings then rose from his body which could only mean that he was now a Spirit Elder.

The group then moved closer to Oscar and congratulate him on his breakthrough. They then urged Oscar to used his 3rd spirit spirit ability.

Oscar then used his newly spirit ability. He then explained what is the effect and used of eating it. 0

Dai Mubai and the other was surprised to see how good and useful his ability was while John on the other was also happy.

[Spirit Ability: Swift Flight Mushroom Sausage has been picked up.]

After a while, Zhao Wuji then said that they will leave immediately but suddenly Tang San interrupted "Teacher, I also need a spirit ring."

Zhao Wuji and the others were shocked upon hearing Tang San's words. They then asked when does Tang San had a breakthrough. Tang San answered all of their questions. They then decided to rest in the forest and continue finding a suitable spirit beast tomorrow.

The night then passed without incident.

.................

Early in the morning, they continued the process of searching for Spirit Beasts. Only this time the person getting a spirit beast was Tang San, and not Oscar.

But things turned out contrary to what they expected, no less than two days passed, even though Zhao Wuji led them to seriously search, they did not find a suitable spirit beast for Tang San.

At nightfall, they decided to find a place to rest. They then build some tents and rest while waiting for tomorrow.

But when they were about to rest, a deep roar can be heard deep inside the forest.

Zhao Wuji directly summoned his spirit, Vigorous Vajra Bear and in a moment finishing Body Enhancement. He then shouted "Everyone leave the tents quickly and stand behind me"

After journeying for two days, they already had some kind of understanding of themselves. They then immediately went behind Zhao Wuji and see what was happening.

Upon hearing, John then smiled and then said inwardly 'It's finally here.'

In the direction Zhao Wuji was looking, two large trees suddenly slowly parted to either side, and an enormous silhouette noiselessly walked out.

Seeing this big animal, they all seemed to stop breathing, and everyone finally understood what was actually worrying Zhao Wuji.

Tang San, after seeing it, immediately distinguished this big animal's category. He then said "It's actually the forest king, Titan Giant Ape."

"Respected forest king, we did not mean to offend, if this is your territory, we will immediately withdraw." Zhao Wuji said in a low voice. He knew that Titan Giant Apes were capable of understanding human speech.

But the Titan Great Ape did not pay attention to him and moved forward.

"Run quickly!!!!!" Zhao Wuji shouted. He decided to leave behind and make time for Tang San's group to leave. He used several spirit abilities to confront the Titan Great Ape.

John doesn't want leave and looked at their fight and smiled by the notification sounds.

"What are you still doing there, Runnnnnnnn!!!!!" Zhao Wuji shouted while receiving the attacks of the Titan Great Ape.

Tang San and others woke up and then finally moved to escaped.

While Xiao Wu and John behind.

John then looked at Xiao Wu "What are you gonna do now, Xiao Wu?"

Xiao then looked at John but she did not reply.

"I know why this spirit beast are here. How about it, because of you, teacher Zhao Wuji was now on a miserable state and the others were now running on their lives to live." John said and looked at the desperate Zhao Wuji.

Xiao Wu just stared at John while her eyes starting to get wet. She knew that all of this happened because of her.

While the others were running, Tang San noticed the absence of Xiao Wu. He then looked back and saw Xaio Wu and John.

He rushed back to get Xiao Wu but Xiao Wu suddenly shouted "Er Ming, stop!!"

Dai Mubai and the other stopped and looked back.

Er Ming who heard Xiao Wu's call punched Zhao Wuji hard and then looked at Xiao Wu. He then grabbed Xiao Wu and put her on his shoulder.

"Everyone, I-I'm so sorry. I am actually a spirit beast and Er Ming is my best friend. I never would have thought that after sensing my aura, he would come." Xiao Wu said while her tears was falling down. She then looked down and saw Tang San.

"Brother San, I just wanted to tell you that living with you was the greatest years in my life. But my presence will only caused trouble. I hope to see you all again. Once again, I'm sorry." Xiao said while her tears continued to fall down.

Erming then roared for the last time before leaving.

Dai Mubai and the others were shocked after knowing that Xiao Wu was actually a spirit beast.

Tang San cried and shouted Xiao Wu's name. He then became angry. He dashed towards John and used his hidden weapons.

John, who saw the attacked, easily evaded and moved away.

Dai Mubai and the others were shocked after seeing Tang San attacked John.

"Tang San, what are you doing!!??" Dai Mubai immediately went forward to stop Tang San. But Tang San continued to dashed and attacked John again.

John saw that Tang San was really serious. He then used a spirit ability "Spirit Ability: Bind"

Countless Blue Silver Grass vines then wrapped Tang San.

Tang San was shocked to see John using his own spirit ability.

"Spirit Ability: Parasite" John used another spirit ability to support the first one.

Tang San who was caught off guard was immobilized by the countless blue silver grass around his body. He then struggled to get out.

After seeing Tang San was struggling, John then used another two spirit ability to finished it

"Spirit Ability: Phoenix Fire Wire"

"Spirit Ability: White Tiger Intense Light Wave"

Two spirit ability were released. An intensed light and a straight line flame was coming towards Tang San's direction.

Tang San who saw John's attack was already thinking his end. When suddenly....
