Chen Rui complained bitterly, he had only walked more than 100 miles on this 108,000-mile road, and he had already encountered several attacks by wild beasts in the mountains. Although it was not a strange beast that opened the spiritual intelligence, it also made Chen Rui scramble for a while. Sure enough, as Boss Cao said, this journey is difficult, and even monks cannot get through it safely.

"No, I have to improve my cultivation and then move on, otherwise I won't be able to move an inch. Chen Rui made up his mind and began to look for a suitable place to stay.

In winter, it is very cold in the foothills, and even if no snow falls, it can make it difficult for pedestrians to walk, probably because the mountains are too high, and the animals living in the mountains are all wild beasts with huge ribcages. Flickering and moving, a muscular white ape leaped back and forth between the thick trunks, but its eyes were fixed in one direction. Following its gaze, a human with a cloak of hair was meditating in the only waterhole on the mountain.

The human was not strong, with neither high bulging muscles nor a broad, thick physique. He sat quietly on a rock in the pool, and the milky white mist continued to float from the human's body, as if he had just undergone a vigorous exercise, which was evident from the reddened complexion of the human.

The white ape wondered in his heart, this unknown fellow had been sitting on that rock on time every noon every day since three days ago. You must know that this rock is the seat of its mountain boss, it is a throne-like existence, and only the powerful beasts are entitled to rest on it.

Staring at the human being, the white ape estimated the strength of this person in his heart, and it was ready to sneak attack and drive this person away. Not for anything else, just because this human can't help but snatch its throne and occupy its most comfortable nest privately.

This human being is none other than Chen Rui, who intends to improve his cultivation here. Three days ago, when he was drinking here, he accidentally found a deep hidden stone cave behind the slope of this pool, and his curiosity drove Chen Rui to check it, and when he walked in, he found that it was a wooden nest that had been built. Although I don't know what kind of animal it is, the nest is clean, like that kind of retro bed. Moreover, the nest has almost no taste, and only a few uneaten pine cones indicate that the owner of the nest is a herbivore.

"It's not as good as the Water Curtain Cave, but it's good enough for me to rest for a while. After Chen Rui investigated around, he decided to use this cave as a foothold, and according to Zhou Xiaodong's memory, Chen Rui laid down the simplest solid magic array-temperature adjustment array. After the spirit stone is placed, this magic circle can be driven. Chen Rui adjusted the temperature to about twenty-four degrees, and the originally deserted stone cave suddenly warmed like spring.

When Chen Rui was resting at night that day, he felt that there was always a gaze peeping at him. At first, he thought someone was lurking around, but finally found a huge white ape in the clear light of the moon. The white ape can be regarded as a relatively intelligent beast, and it is a creature unique to the Xuanyue Kingdom. Not only are their minds flexible, but they also have a lot of swordsmanship, and I heard that there are people who have learned advanced swordsmanship from the white ape.

Although the white ape's swordsmanship was good, it was not enough in front of Chen Rui's innate realm cultivation, so Chen Rui simply didn't care about it anymore, but he didn't expect that this white ape would actually observe Chen Rui in the woods a hundred meters away for three consecutive days.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Rui stood up and glanced at the sneaky white ape in the woods. Then a fierce man plunged into the water, and the cold pool water gave Chen Rui a new life, and immediately settled down his boiling meridians. After swimming a few laps in the water, Chen Rui sat down on the rock again and looked at the ring between his fingers.

"The food in the ring can last for two days, and this white ape must be cleaned up before then, otherwise it will definitely burrow into the stone cave while I am looking for food, what should I do?" Chen Rui lowered his head and thought seriously.

"Huh~" A low roar came from the woods, it was the white ape that had been observing for three days. It saw Chen Rui sitting defenselessly in the pool, and picked up a long sword that had been prepared behind it for a long time. The hilt of this sword also has an emerald inlaid on it, which should have been a good weapon in the past. It's just that the sword body is rusty, and the blade is curled and has several large gaps, which is obviously the result of long-term maintenance.

The white ape was very excited, and after waiting for three days, this human finally showed his flaws. Picking up this sword, the white ape thought that he had the chance to win, it was a sharp weapon for his conquest of the battlefield (mountain), with this sword alone it had overturned several invading beasts, and now this human was going to be the ghost of its sword again.

Chen Rui was more excited than the white ape at this time, and he really didn't come up with any way to catch this flexible white ape, but he didn't expect it to come to the door by itself. Seeing the rotten sword in the hands of the white ape, Chen Rui smiled, it turned out that this guy was really the sword ape introduced in the book, seeing it leap high with a sword like a swordsman, it really had a little bit of the demeanor of a kendo master.

"Just to warm you up!" Chen Rui was not in a hurry, and the internal strength in his body instantly spread all over his body. The white ape didn't understand why the man didn't dodge, and he was still smiling there, but he wasn't afraid, and he was confident that he would knock him over with a single sword. Its sword is also extraordinary, and two years ago it picked it up and used its edge to kill an iron-armored spotted tiger. It would never believe that this human's flesh was harder than the skin of the Ironclad Spotted Tiger, knowing that the Ironclad Spotted Tiger's skin was comparable to broken rock.

The power of the white ape was very great, and this slash was reckless enough, directly knocking Chen Rui back a few steps. If it weren't for the fact that this rock in Tan Zhong was still quite large, Chen Rui would probably have fallen into the water.

There was a burst of cool air on his arm, Chen Rui was startled, a shallow wound was actually broken on his arm, although it was not deep, but there was also a trace of blood oozing out. "Strange? The sword in the hand of this white ape obviously has no blade, why can it hurt me?" Chen Rui glanced at the rotten sword in the white ape's hand again, it was still the same ordinary appearance, the weather-beaten sword body, the mutilated blade, no matter how you look at it, it is an ordinary discarded blade.

After pondering for a moment, the white ape slashed with his sword again. The force rose from the ground, and with the stepping rocks, the sword of the white ape was better than the one just now. The huge force made the pool of water under his feet swing more than a foot away.

"Hiss~" like a snake spitting out a letter, an inconspicuous buzzing sound came to the ears. "This, this is a magic weapon!" Chen Rui heard the clue from this voice, which was a sign unique to magic weapons. In the book, the magic weapon communicates the aura between heaven and earth when it is used, which is exactly how the magic weapon reacts when it is danced wildly by the white ape.

"I just don't know what grade this sword is, but since it was thrown in the mountains, it must be a magic weapon of the lower grade of the white rank. Chen Rui commented on this rotten sword, and now that he knew its origin, Chen Rui was no longer surprised.

With a tap of his toes, a circle of regular circular ripples swung from the water, and Chen Rui jumped up like a gymnast to dodge the sword ape's blow. Two swords in a row were ineffective, and the white ape was a little angry, and it changed from single to double. Holding the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, and with a flick of the sword upward, the blade of the sword slashed through a graceful arc, deadly and beautiful, which is the embodiment of sword skills. Chen Rui's body was in the air, unable to change his position with force, and the white ape thought that this sword would definitely hit him.

"Since you also use a sword, then I will also take out my 'sword'. Chen Rui's spiritual power and internal energy surged to his fingers together, his internal strength was six, and his spiritual power was four. The pale blue flames ignited instantly, and the high temperature instantly evaporated the water droplets in the air. With a wave of his right hand, the flame sword more than a foot long collided with the bladeless sword of the white ape. Forcefully blew away the mist that wrapped around the flame blade, fading away like a scabbard, and the two swords collided solidly.

After Chen Rui cultivated the move "Cangyan Between the Fingers", he only smashed a few rocks and a few pine trees, and never took it out in actual combat. This time, with the opponent of Sword Ape, he will definitely have to experiment a few more times. Not in a hurry or impatient, Chen Rui used the trajectory of the Taiji Sword to deal with the attack of the sword ape, and the sword ape became more and more angry when he saw that he could not attack for a long time. The rotten sword in his hand danced faster and faster, and the self-esteem of the magic weapon made the rotten sword forcibly absorb the aura in the air, and these aura turned into fierce sword qi and shot out like bullets.

"This...!" Chen Rui was dumbfounded, the sword ape's hand was obviously just a rotten inferior magic weapon, why was it so powerful! The sword qi was invisible, Chen Rui naturally couldn't stop it in a physical way, he called out the internal strength in his body and spread it on the surface of his body to barely block the sword ape's attack.
