Chapter Twenty-One: The Burning Ape
However, the implementation of this strategy that relies on appearance is not always smooth sailing......
……
At this time, Ye Xizheng "accidentally" rolled into a small valley.
The rock walls in this valley are unique, with many caves and crevasses of various sizes, which are both useful for climbing and suitable as a nest for social soul beasts.
In addition, the surrounding area is overgrown with flame stems and vines that can produce delicious fruits, so that dozens of fiery apes have gathered here, forming a large group.
They are basically ten-year soul beasts, and those who have cultivated for more than a hundred years are only five fingers.
Most of these fiery apes are engaged in fierce half-playful fights all over the valley, which is the favorite playful activity of this kind of soul beast in their leisure time, and they basically do not stop when they do not see blood.
The remaining dozen or so are either searching for needles in a haystack for the remaining flame stems and fruits on the vines, or scratching their ears and cheeks to catch the dry fleas on their bodies, or fluttering and frolicking in the hot springs......
Ye Xi relied on his harmless appearance as a human and animal, and quietly approached them.
He wanted to try to take one or two of the fiery apes that were younger.
It's a pity that the temper of these fiery apes is not as good as that of other soul beasts, the name is as good as their nature, and they are irritable and abnormal, and before Ye Xi can make a move, he is hostile to several hundred-year-old fiery apes in the group!
"Bang! Bang! ”
These fiery apes suddenly jumped down from the vines and caves in the heights, surrounding Ye Xi, not at all confused by his appearance, grinning at him, and beating their chests with their fists, making a dull sound like war drums, as if trying to intimidate him into submission.
But how could Ye Xi be afraid of such a few ordinary hundred-year-old soul beasts ranging from two hundred years to five hundred years.
"Bang Bang!"
Not to be outdone, he followed the example of a fiery ape, and swung his bear paw and patted his belly vigorously.
Seeing Ye Xi making such a provocative move, where could they continue to tolerate it, they rushed up with their teeth and claws, wanting to break him into pieces.
But there is no doubt that with their strength, they can't help Ye Xi at all.
Soon, these fiery apes were all suppressed by his bear claws!
Ye Xi didn't fall in love with war, nor was he greedy, he took the opportunity to slap one of his heads and palms to death, and then turned around and left, very quickly, and the fiery apes couldn't catch up with him at all.
Looking at Ye Xi's figure that was about to run away, the rest of the fiery apes hurriedly let out a roar with a strange frequency.
"Chirp!"
After just a few breaths, an inconspicuous cave in the valley suddenly cracked open, and an unusually large giant ape emerged!
The giant ape was five meters tall and majestic, with blood-red messy hair covered with granite-like exaggerated bulging muscles, and two arms as thick as decades of old pines.
What's even more terrifying is that the soul power light on its body is a gorgeous and rich bright purple.
This is a thousand-year-old fiery ape that has reached the age of 4,800 years!
"Squeak!"
As soon as the thousand-year-old fiery ape appeared, the surviving fiery apes around them all stretched out their hands indignantly and pointed to Ye Xi, who was about to run away not far away.
"Roar!"
The red eyes of the thousand-year-old fiery ape saw the fiery ape that had passed out on Ye Xi's shoulder, and it was immediately furious, flames burst out angrily from its mouth and nose, and it rushed towards him in a big stride.
"How can there be a fiery ape with such a high age here! It's not scientific! ”
The appearance of this thousand-year-old soul beast was completely unexpected by Ye Xi, and even the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm felt incredible.
There are not many soul beasts that are more than 1,000 years old in the outer area, and most of them have only one or two thousand years of cultivation, and the existence of three thousand years and above is extremely rare, and they will basically go to live in the mixed area with more intense soul power.
But what is the situation with this 4,800-year-old fiery ape that appeared in front of you?
He didn't have a clue at all, and he didn't think too much about it.
The top priority is to survive from the hands of this soul beast!
Even after many days of hunting, Ye Xi's age is already more than five hundred years, and he thinks he can beat an ordinary soul beast in his early thousands, but he still can't match such a terrifying soul beast that is close to five thousand years old!
He immediately unleashed the ability of the Holy Illusion Demon Ape - Illusion.
Airplanes......
Suddenly, the scene in the sight of the thousand-year-old fire ape began to distort and change.
Ye Xi's figure suddenly disappeared from its eyes, and in its place was a giant scorpion with a snow-white tail hooked red, waving its giant claws at it proudly.
If Ye Xi could see the illusion in the eyes of the fiery ape, he would find that this giant scorpion was clearly the overlord of the volcanic landform area he had seen a few days ago, the king of the thousand-year-old earth!
It's just that this one is slightly smaller in size.
Facing the king of the earth, the thousand-year-old fiery ape didn't have the slightest intention of retreating, raised its huge and thick arms like tree trunks, and slammed towards it vigorously.
Rumble!
The power of this blow was really amazing, and in an instant, a huge rock seven or eight meters high was smashed into the sky full of stone slag!
Fortunately, Ye Xi dodged fast enough, otherwise even with his defensive power, he would have to be photographed into a ball of panda sauce.
At the same time, the figure of the King of the Earth also began to collapse and disappear in the eyes of the thousand-year-old fiery ape, and Ye Xi's embarrassed figure resurfaced in its eyes.
It managed to break free from the illusion!
"Roar!"
It seemed that the illusion just now further angered the thousand-year-old fiery ape, and after slamming it hard in the chest, it rushed towards Ye Xi again with more and more rage.
This time, Ye Xike had no way to take it, where did he dare to stay for half a step, dropped the fiery ape on his shoulder, and immediately rushed out of the small valley.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
Out of the valley, he ran wildly through the gravel forest with all his might, a pair of bear paws and two short legs swinging at their highest frequency, and only a dark and vague afterimage could be seen.
Ye Xi ran wildly and anxiously asked the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm:
"What's going on? This fiery ape didn't show any fear from beginning to end! Does this illusion have no effect on such a soul beast? ”
Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm said: "There is indeed a factor in this regard, the wisdom and spiritual power of ape-like soul beasts are already slightly stronger than other soul beasts, coupled with nearly five thousand years of cultivation, the effect that illusions can produce is indeed limited, but it is not without the slightest fear......
The reason for this is that its current strength has exceeded the strength of the things it feared in the past, so that it is no longer afraid. ”
"This illusion is really unreliable, and it is too easily disturbed by all kinds of uncertain factors!"
Ye Xi secretly said in annoyance, glanced back, and suddenly felt a tightness in his heart.
He found that the thousand-year-old fiery ape also rushed out of the valley with great momentum, chasing after him.
The fiery ape is not known for its speed, but it has a stronger physique and the amplification advantage of higher soul power cultivation, Ye Xi can't get rid of it at all, and the distance between the two is constantly narrowed!
At the moment of crisis, Ye Xi can only choose to survive in danger.
The Earth King's lair was already so close that he decided to lure the thousand-year-old fiery ape there, and the waters of disaster would move eastward!
"Huh?"
Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly saw two figures appear in front of him......
