Chapter 75 What a beast!
Chapter 75 What a beast!
Zhu Que never expected that he would encounter this ape-like beast.
It lay among the treetops, its chest and abdomen heaving rapidly, its body riddled with wounds, and blood dripping continuously.
This is clearly a serious injury.
Even so, Zhu Que did not relax in the slightest.
The moment I saw this strange beast, an instinctive sense of crisis rushed up my spine.
This feeling is almost exactly the same as when I faced Qiao Kun.
"Hello there."
Zhu Que raised his hands very slowly. His tone was also very gentle:
"Let's make a deal. I won't bother you, and you won't attack me. How about we part ways here?"
Worried that the beast wouldn't understand human speech, he gestured with his hand—
He pointed to himself, then to the mountains and forests ahead, and made a gesture that said "I'm leaving."
The air seemed to freeze for a moment.
next moment.
A ferocious glint flashed in the eyes of the ape-like beast, and it let out a low, furious roar—
"roar--!"
The roar echoed through the mountains and forests, causing the leaves to rustle and fall.
The ape-like beast suddenly sprang up, its thick body resembling a small mountain, and crashed down towards Zhu Que.
"I knew a fight was inevitable!"
Zhu Que's eyes instantly turned cold.
He immediately put on his control gauntlets, pushed off with both feet, and darted to the left.
at the same time.
He activated the Ice and Fire Unity Technique, and three balls of ice flame condensed, quickly taking shape and transforming into three ice flame swords.
"I'll use you to test my cultivation progress!"
Zhu Que's eyes sparkled.
at the same time.
In the distance, in the mountains and forests.
After the hunt began, the four young masters of Linhe all initially set their sights on the most ferocious beast—
Armored Ape!
The four rushed forward, bombarding the enemy with various magical weapons.
However, the armored ape had extremely strong defenses. Even after being repeatedly hit, it still managed to fight its way out and escape into the depths of the mountains and forests.
All four of them sustained minor injuries of varying degrees.
To ensure their safety, they chose to take a temporary break, which inevitably led to a verbal exchange.
"Let me tell you first, I've reserved the Armored Ape's spirit core. You three should save your energy and give up."
"Get lost! I dealt all the damage to the Armored Ape. You think you can just leech off the damage?"
"Bullshit, wasn't the most fatal wound on the back of your neck caused by me?"
"I am determined to obtain the Armored Ape's spirit core."
"..."
The four were at loggerheads, none of them willing to back down, and the atmosphere gradually became tense.
Just then.
A deep roar suddenly came from the distance of the mountains and forests, and the four young masters of Linhe stood up almost at the same time.
That was the roar of the Armored Ape!
"Hahaha, I'll gladly accept the Armored Ape's spirit core!" A burly young man laughed loudly and charged out first.
"You're kidding me! The ownership of a spirit core depends on one's own abilities!"
Without any hesitation, the other three rushed towards the direction of the beast's roar.
the other side.
Zhu Que and the Armored Ape began their battle.
These days, although he has been fighting with the little ghosts, strictly speaking, it can only be considered a playful sparring match.
Now, after coming into contact with the armored ape, he immediately felt a clear threat of death.
This moment.
Zhu Que felt as if his blood was boiling.
Within his chest cavity, the unique qualities of the Jade Core of the Spit Body were fully unleashed, frantically tempering his body.
"roar!!"
The armored ape roared, stomped its limbs on the ground, and used the recoil to pounce on Zhu Que.
As Zhu Que retreated rapidly, he used his mind to control three ice flame swords, which flew towards the armored ape with a whooshing sound.
In mid-air, two ice-flame swords struck the armored ape's head, while another struck its chest.
"Snap! Snap! Snap!"
An icy aura erupted.
As soon as the armored ape landed, most of its head was frozen, and part of its chest was also frozen.
Immediately following was a burst of flames.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Flames surged and billowed, and shockwaves roared.
The armored ape let out a howl that was a mixture of pain and rage.
however.
Zhu Que, however, keenly observed—
Although the attack hit and an explosion occurred, the damage was far less than expected.
The armored ape's entire body was covered in hard scales.
The combined damage from freezing and bursting only shattered part of its scales and did not actually harm it.
"This beast's defense is too strong; we must attack the areas without scales!"
Zhu Que immediately determined the next tactic.
"roar!"
The armored ape suddenly attacked again.
Its massive body leaned forward, using its weight and momentum to charge towards Zhu Que at an astonishing speed.
Zhu Que continued his rapid retreat, simultaneously conjuring three new Ice Flame Swords.
"Crack!"
With a casual wave of his hand, the armored ape snapped a tree as thick as a bowl in half and swung it fiercely at Zhu Que.
Zhu Que was unable to dodge in time and was knocked to the ground by the branches of the tree.
The damage wasn't significant, but it severely restricted his movement, making it impossible for him to escape easily in a short period of time.
The armored ape roared, its eyes flashing with ferocity, and pounced again.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"
May you have a single thought.
Three ice-flame swords roared out!
This time, he didn't attack the parts covered by scales, but instead aimed at its wounds.
Its abdomen, back, and back of the neck were covered with horrifying wounds.
The scales and armor on those parts were broken, and the flesh and blood were exposed to the air, clearly indicating that the damage was caused by the Four Young Masters of Linhe.
Three ice-flame swords pierced through the air, heading straight for the three wounds.
however.
The Armored Ape is not just a beast that relies solely on brute force to fight.
Upon seeing the Ice Flame Sword flying towards it, it seemed to understand Zhu Que's intentions and raised its hand to strike at one of the Ice Flame Swords.
"Snap—Bang!"
The ice shattered and the flames exploded, but only the scales on the hands were torn apart; the flesh itself was not damaged.
Immediately afterwards, the armored ape swung out with its other hand, accurately blocking the wound on its back.
"Snap—Bang!"
The second Ice Flame Sword also exploded.
The third Ice Flame Sword flew towards the back of the Armored Ape's neck.
The wound on the back of its neck was the most severe, and the pale vertebrae could even be seen.
however.
At this critical moment.
The armored ape suddenly raised its head, using its skull to block the wound on the back of its neck, intending to take the third ice flame sword head-on.
This moment.
The Armored Ape's on-the-spot judgment can be described as calm and decisive.
but.
Zhu Que's thoughts stirred slightly.
The Iceflame Sword, which was supposed to pierce the back of the Armored Ape's neck, suddenly changed direction and curved in mid-air—
Finally, it precisely pierced the ear of the armored ape!
"You can't possibly have scales in your ears, can you?"
Zhu Que stared at it coldly.
"Click—"
An icy explosion froze half of the armored ape's head, followed by a burst of flames inside its ear canal.
"Bang!!"
Fresh blood gushed out of its ear canal.
The armored ape let out a mournful howl, its massive body frozen in place, its consciousness becoming extremely scattered.
Seeing this, Zhu Que gave it no chance to catch its breath, and three ice flame swords instantly materialized.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"
This time, all three ice-flame swords struck the wound on the back of the demonic ape's neck without any deviation.
"Snap—Bang bang bang!"
The ice froze, and the flames burst.
With a crisp cracking sound, the armored ape's head tilted to the side, its neck snapped off by the explosion.
"Clatter!"
Zhu Que emerged from the branches, just as the massive head of the Armored Ape fell and rolled to his feet.
Its eyes were wide open, as if it had died with its eyes still open.
"The Iceflame Sword is really useful..."
Zhu Que slowly exhaled.
Then, without wasting any time, he broke open the demonic ape's head and dug out a crystal-clear spirit core.
This is a second-tier spirit core.
"This is not a place to linger!"
Zhu Que obtained the spirit core and cautiously looked around.
This armored ape is definitely the prey of the Four Young Masters of Linhe; they could arrive at any moment.
Thinking about this...
Zhu Que left immediately.
However, instead of returning to the cave warehouse, he turned around and sped towards Jinfeng Town.
Shortly after he left.
Four figures landed here one after another.
These are the Four Young Masters of Linhe.
They rushed over, only to be stunned when they saw the headless corpse of the Armored Ape.
After a brief silence, a burst of angry shouts erupted.
"Damn it! Which bastard did this?!"
"They even fight over hunting exotic beasts; don't they have any sense of public morality?"
"Where's my spirit core? My damn spirit core is gone too!"
"What a beast!"
"..."
