Chapter 110 Questioning
The Titan Ape Erming stood there, its massive, mountain-like body towering over the two tiny humans before it, each smaller than the palm of its hand.
Those enormous, bell-like eyes revealed a hint of disdain and majesty, and then it opened its blood-red maw and let out a deafening roar towards the sky.
"Okay, Sister Xiaowu!"
Erming's thunderous roar echoed through the air.
As the sound rang out, it stretched out two incredibly thick arms, comparable to tree trunks, rapidly extending them to the left and right.
The movement was as fast as lightning, leaving no time to react. In the blink of an eye, its two large hands had firmly grasped the two humans in their grasp, as easily as picking up two insignificant specks of dust.
The two men, captured by Erming, struggled and twisted their bodies desperately, trying to break free and escape his clutches.
However, all their efforts seemed futile in the face of Erming's overwhelming power.
No matter how hard they resisted, they couldn't escape even a fraction of the iron grip.
At this moment, Wu Heyi was filled with fear and despair, experiencing for the first time in his life the feeling of being firmly controlled by others in terms of life and death.
In Erming's giant palm, he felt like a fragile ant, easily crushed into dust with just a little more force.
What made him feel even more helpless was that he couldn't lift his hands; they were tightly pressed down on either side of his body, preventing him from moving.
Even if only one hand is mobile, Wu Heyi still has a chance to summon the armor he relies on to save his life.
But now, he has completely lost the ability to resist and can only resign himself to fate.
On the other side, Tang San was also being held tightly in Er Ming's hands.
Unlike Wu Heyi, who was terrified, Tang San's face showed more confusion and grievance.
He stared wide-eyed at Xiao Wu in the distance, utterly bewildered as to why Xiao Wu would instruct Er Ming to attack him.
His once handsome face was now furrowed with confusion, and his eyes revealed a deep sorrow.
"Roar!" Another roar came from Erming's mouth, as if it was announcing its victory to the world.
Then, it slowly turned around, faced Xiao Wu who was standing not far away, and respectfully said:
"Sister Xiaowu, it's all done!"
At this moment, Tang San's gaze finally fell on Xiao Wu's face. In that instant, he felt as if Xiao Wu's face had been filled with hostility and vigilance with bold strokes of ink.
Every expression he wore concealed a deep sense of wariness, as if in Xiao Wu's eyes, Tang San had become an extremely dangerous person.
"Why, Xiao Wu?"
Tang San was completely puzzled. The voice sounded like a caged beast roaring in frustration, filled with deep confusion and uncontrollable resentment.
From his voice, which was filled with complex emotions, Xiao Wu seemed to hear a struggle of unwillingness and a low murmur of resentment.
This emotion, like delicate threads, entwined her heart, making her resolve even stronger.
Wu He, standing to the side, presented a stark contrast to Tang San's emotional fluctuations.
He remained remarkably calm, a calmness akin to a bottomless pool, undisturbed by any ripples.
It wasn't that he wasn't afraid of the situation, but rather that he knew perfectly well that there was a powerful figure like a lurking beast beside Tang San, like the Sword of Damocles hanging over his head that could fall at any moment, silently watching him!
Therefore, at this moment, he had to be like a highly vigilant cheetah, always on guard against the big boss making a sudden move, as if if he were to be careless, he would be swept away like a rootless leaf by a strong wind, and at that time he might not even be able to save his life.
"Why, why are you asking me why?"
Xiao Wu's eyes flashed like two bolts of lightning, instantly sparking with anger, mixed with lingering fear.
Anger was like a raging fire, almost engulfing her entirely, while fear surged deep within her heart like a chilling spring.
"Did you already know I was a soul beast? Why didn't you let me come back with Wu He? Did you want to keep me like a pet by your side, or were you simply afraid that I would never come back?"
Xiao Wu's words were like sharp nails, hurled mercilessly at Tang San.
Upon hearing Xiao Wu's barrage of questions, Tang San was stunned for a second, as if struck by lightning.
In that instant, his mind was like a chaotic storm, with various thoughts colliding and tangling. He didn't know how to answer Xiao Wu's sharp and weighty question.
For Tang San, this moment felt like an eternity, with countless thoughts surging into his mind like a turbulent tide.
His heart was filled with astonishment and confusion. He racked his brains but could not understand how Xiao Wu knew that he had discovered the astonishing secret that Xiao Wu was a 10-year-old soul beast in human form.
Similarly, deep within his heart, he had experienced intense entanglement and struggle, much like two small boats tossed about in a storm.
After all, a 10-year-old soul beast transforming into a human is like a rare treasure in the world of soul masters. In critical moments of life and death, it can often play a huge role in turning the tide of battle.
Most importantly, the deep affection between him and Xiao Wu cannot be ignored.
In those particularly dangerous and precarious situations, Xiao Wu has a considerable chance of initiating the heroic act of sacrifice.
Moreover, his teacher once told him that if a soul beast voluntarily sacrifices itself, then the soul master can absorb a 10-year soul ring unconditionally, just like receiving a gift from heaven, and at the same time obtain a 10-year soul bone that is equally rare!
For a Soul Master, this is undoubtedly a stroke of incredible luck that is hard to come by, and it doesn't require paying any price.
Furthermore, the soul skills obtained through voluntary sacrifice are like tailor-made armor, fitting the soul master's needs more closely, as if they were abilities that originally grew deep within the soul master's soul, natural and perfectly suited.
However, he admitted that all of this, at the moment he discovered that Xiao Wu was a 10-year-old soul beast in human form, did indeed flash through his heart like a faint spark.
However, this fleeting thought is like a shooting star streaking across the night sky—it vanishes in an instant.
In his heart, the dominant thought was to firmly protect Xiao Wu and do everything in his power to shield her from any danger or harm in this world.
He just didn't know how Xiao Wu knew that he already knew his secret, and that's why.
He was worried that if Xiao Wu went out alone with Wu Heyi, Wu Heyi would discover her identity, which would be detrimental to her, which is why he repeatedly objected.
