Chapter 4: The Ape
"You don't want to go!, everyone else gathers!"
Holding Li Xingtian's hands and letting go, he shouted,
As the team gathered and walked in the direction of the cry for help, after Li Xingtian stepped over the broken position attacked by the fierce beast, he found that the cry for help was getting clearer and clearer, and the place where the call for help was slowly approaching the border of the barren mountain.
Then a dense forest appeared, and the cry for help came from this dark forest, could it be that there were escaped officials who fled into this forest? Li Xingtian thought in his heart,
"Be on guard in place, don't go into it!" the Commander warned loudly,
Why did you hear someone crying for help and not immediately enter the rescue, is there any danger nearby? Even if you are very suspicious, you still follow the arrangement of the commanders and wait in place, it must not be as simple as you imagined!
Observing that the rest of the people also executed immediately, I realized that they were too experienced, but this is also a certain fact, this is the first time I have faced the attack of the fierce beast, and I am still not experienced enough,
After steady, he set his eyes on the woods for a closer look, and after continuous observation, he found something different.
It was sunny in the afternoon, and there was no wind around, but I saw the treetops in the woods swinging unnaturally!
There must be some fierce beast perched on the tree! Li Xingtian made a sure conjecture in his heart,
"How could a group of apes hunt here?" a commander whispered in confusion.
After Li Xingtian heard the fierce beast of the ape, he thought about the written record about the ape that he saw in the library of Yanfu.
Crying ape: like to live in groups, the number of groups is at least 20, good at group combat and can make confused sounds, agile in the woods, strong fists, weak ground combat ability, precautions: a single crying ape is equivalent to a broken habitat, habitat must retreat,
It turns out that there is a group of apes in it! My own conjecture is really not, and the so-called sound of confusion can actually send out the cries for help of human beings! Then I also feel afraid of my own impulse just now, and if I rush in, I will only be beaten to death by the ape.
The Commander who had just spoken continued, "Archon, do you want to go into the forest and clean up these apes? Many of us have not killed such a beast with our own hands!"
In addition to the commander Cheng, the twenty-one deputy commanders present were about three or four years older than Li Xingtian, and they were only between twenty, showing the exuberance of young people, and the commander Aoki who died in the fierce beast riot was only twenty years old.
Although Li Xingtian knew the danger of facing the crying ape, his hatred for the fierce beast became deeper and deeper, and he couldn't wait to immediately rush into the forest to kill the crying ape.
"Yes, but be careful, I'll press the formation for you, you twenty-one can easily face it when you encounter a small ape group, but you can't take it lightly, by the way, twenty-two, Li Xingtian, this time you are also involved in this mission" Cheng Commander looked at them and said seriously,
After hearing the words, Li Xingtian's heart was full of nervousness and excitement at this moment, and he began to slowly enter the forest with the rest of the personnel.
After entering the woods, Li Xingtian only heard the "rustling" sound of leaves and the shouts of "help" filling his ears, and couldn't help but look up at the sky, and the sky was blocked by dense trees layer by layer, only a little light spot penetrated, making the environment even darker.
Even under the sunlight of the summer afternoon, Li Xingtian felt cool, even a little chilly at this moment,
After entering the depths of the woods, the sound of help that filled his ears suddenly disappeared, Li Xingtian felt that the crying ape should have discovered them, and the air was suddenly filled with the smell of various emotions, some were excited, some were happy, and even some commanders began to run around,
A rapid sound of leaves brushing began to rush towards this side, followed by a commander beside him who could not dodge and was smashed into the bushes by an extremely ugly-looking purple-haired ape.
Li Xingtian, who found the situation next to him, immediately rushed forward with a sword in both hands, the shackles broken by his feet and knees provided him with extremely fast speed, and a sword light instantly pierced the back of the crying ape,
With a pop, the tip of the sword sank into the flesh and blood on the back of the ape, and after the blow was successful, he knew the agility of the ape, so he kicked his legs and jumped backwards, and with the drawing of the long sword, a bright red blood flower was brought out.
The ape roared in pain, and its huge scarlet eyes stared at the retreating human, and as soon as it landed on all fours, it pounced forward.
Li Xingtian, whose eyes were fixed on the action of the crying ape, did not feel panicked, and when his feet stepped on the ground, he silently recited a sentence in his heart
"Nine days in one step!",
Suddenly, his feet condensed the energy of his whole body,
The long sword was pointed directly at the crying ape that was leaping in the air, and jumped up
"Heart-piercing sword!"
After a shout, the man and beast that met in the air both landed, and the time from assassination to collision took place in just a few breaths!
After a quiet breath, a slender young man pushed away the lifeless body of the crying ape, slowly stood up, bent down and drew the long sword that pierced the ape's heart,
The slender young man's handsome face was glued with a little bloodstain, and it looked particularly strange under the light spots scattered in the forest.
Of course, this person is Li Xingtian, who killed a crying ape beast!
After taking a short breath, he looked at the somewhat torn white robe on his body and pursed his mouth,
"Although it is slightly easier than expected, but also thanks to the results of the sneak attack, it is really difficult to kill head-on, and you have to use one of the three refining body duels to provide strength, otherwise you can't pierce the body of the crying ape, fortunately, the heart piercing sword is more proficient in the usual martial arts practice, and then you have to pay more attention to it" The heart piercing sword is a swordsmanship that many officials in the Yan Mansion can practice at will,
The commander who had been smashed into the bushes by the ape walked out, looked up at the young man who was thinking about the Yangtze River dripping with blood, and then looked down at the corpse of the ape, and his heart churned,
"Young man, I'm the Song Commander, you killed this?"
Commander Song looked at the young man who was much younger than himself and asked suspiciously,
Li Xingtian glanced at him and said, "Yes, I saw that you were smashed into the bushes and then carried out a sneak attack, and finally succeeded in killing."
After receiving the answer, Commander Song's face turned a little red, and he didn't know if it was caused by serious injuries or other reasons, so he replied with a little embarrassment
"I only entered the habitat last year, and I was transferred from another house last month, and I have never seen such a fast beast in the woods as the ape, so I suffered this loss, and I really can't take the beast lightly, I was afraid that you would not enter the habitat with us, I wanted to go to your side to protect you, who would have thought that you were so powerful at a young age, it seems that you can protect yourself, I will leave first!"
may feel that he suffered a loss at the hands of the beast and was seen by a young man who wanted to protect him, and the pine commander, who felt that he had lost face, walked quickly towards the woods.
After seeing Commander Song leave, he didn't care about the face problem in his heart, but took the long sword and slashed the arms of the ape, only to see a purple triangular crystal nucleus appear in the flesh and blood of each arm, and after seeing the crystal nucleus, he quickly collected it, and felt the little temperature released by the palm of the two crystal nuclei held in the palm of his hand, and couldn't help but smile,
The crystal nucleus born in the low-level fierce beasts rarely appears, and often killing dozens of fierce beasts with a pattern will not harvest a crystal nucleus, and this is just a crying ape with crystal nuclei in both arms.
Each crystal nucleus is a gathering of the qi of heaven and earth of the fierce beast, full of a large amount of aura, which is a hundred times higher than the jade spirit food taken in Yanfu, resulting in a fierce beast crystal nucleus of any attribute can be sold for a hundred taels of silver in Xiuning City, and sometimes it is priceless.
However, the greatest use of the crystal nucleus is that it can help cultivators to cultivate, as long as they are placed in their hands for perception, they can be absorbed, and a large amount of aura in the crystal nucleus will also be absorbed into the body by cultivators, often through their own willpower to soothe these aspirants, otherwise it will have a great impact on subsequent cultivation.
It is conceivable how rich the two crystal nuclei in his hand are and how rich the cultivation resources are, which is also the reason why Li Xingtian is in a hurry to enter the command, just because he can fight and kill the fierce beasts, and he can have more cultivation resources.
After putting the two crystal nuclei into his arms, he continued to walk towards the forest with a long sword, and the direction of his walk was completely different from that of the Song Commander, mainly to meet some more Crying Apes, thinking of the Song Commander who had just been hit by the Crying Ape with all his strength, and still had nothing to do, he felt that if he followed him, it was estimated that a fierce beast would not be able to meet it, let alone the crystal nucleus,
Li Xingtian also understood why some of the commanders ran around at the beginning, racing against time to find the crystal nucleus, and didn't take the crying ape to heart at all.
Li Xingtian, who was shuttling through the woods, soon found another crying ape, but this crying ape was larger than the crying ape he had killed before, almost nine feet tall, nearly twice as tall as Li Xingtian, who was more than five feet tall!
At this moment, the crying ape was gnawing on the flesh and blood of an animal, as if it hadn't noticed Li Xingtian who was slowly approaching,
"Nine days in one step!"
"Heart-piercing sword!"
When he got close to a certain distance, he drank a few words, and then used the killing move that he had used to kill the little crying ape before, striving to be able to assassinate directly from the back, and after jumping into the air, as the tip of the sword left the back of the big crying ape, the crying ape turned around abruptly, and swung a fist at Li Xingtian who was in the air,
"Tune the sword!"
Looking at the fist getting closer and closer, it is impossible to turn the body in the air, so you can only adjust the sword body to block,
"Bang"
A muffled sound appeared in this space, Li Xingtian hit a big tree root like a kite with a broken string, spit out a mouthful of blood, and blurted out in horror at the big crying ape not far away,
"This big crying ape is definitely the king of apes in this group of crying apes, if I hadn't blocked its blow with a long sword, I would have been shot to death by him now!"
The ape king looked at Li Xingtian, who was sitting under the roots of the tree, and a touch of humanized mockery flashed on his ugly face.
