Chapter Seventy-Four: The True Immortal Venerable
"Hahaha......" Just when Xiao Rui's head was full of black lines and Luo Hong was about to vomit, a loud bang suddenly broke out in the entire cave. The sound shook the chamber, and rubble continued to fall on the roof of the cave. Xiao Rui and the three of them were shocked and sat directly on the ground, but when they listened carefully, the sound actually seemed to be laughter! In a daze, the three of them looked up, only to find that the golden giant ape was opening its big mouth and looking up and laughing!
This giant ape is really laughing! Laughing like a human! Xiao Rui and the three of them were a little confused, could this giant ape really change into sincerity? Why is its laughter so similar to that of humans?
Just as he was surprised, the giant ape had already stopped laughing, and looked at Xia Keming who actually opened his mouth and spit out a sentence: "Okay! You little guy is very interesting, then I will make you a golden baba!"
A loud noise echoed throughout the chamber, and every word seemed to be a hammer, knocking on the walls of the cave with a buzzing sound. Xiao Rui's hearts were also shaken violently, as if they were about to jump out of their chests. But what surprised them even more was that this giant ape could really speak human words, and it could really speak human words!
Xia Keming was still in a daze, and the right hand of the golden giant ape had already reached out towards him, but he just stretched out his thumb and index finger, and it seemed that he was actually going to pinch Xia Keming! It was really a pinch! The huge palm was more than a meter long, and the thick fingers were thicker than Xia Keming's arm!
Although Xia Keming's mouth was relaxed, he was still unwilling to see that the giant ape really wanted to turn itself into its food. The body that had been sitting leaned back, lying on the ground and rolling around, dodging the giant ape's fingers. But before he could make the next move, he suddenly found that his body had already floated, and Luo Hong was floating at the same time.
It turned out that Xiao Rui saw that the giant ape was going to catch Xia Keming, and he was afraid that Xia Keming would make a mistake, so he immediately released the split soul to wrap the two of them, and he didn't forget to bring the hidden armor. The soul split went out along the cave and sent Xia Keming and Luo Hong out.
Then, Xiao Rui gathered his hands in front of his chest, and the dantian in his body was running rapidly, and a thick gray mist instantly erupted from his hands that had been separated again, and blasted towards the palm of the giant ape.
Xia Keming and Luo Hong were sent out of the cave by Xiao Rui in an instant, and as soon as the two of them landed, they were just slightly stunned, and immediately shouted: "Xiao Rui!" and "Brother Xiao" rushed to the cave at the same time, and the hidden armor seemed to have some kind of induction with Luo Hong, and it was directly attached to Luo Hong's body and disappeared.
At this time, Xiao Rui's strength had already bombarded the giant ape's hand. But Xiao Rui was surprised to see that those energies had disappeared in the palm of the giant ape's open hand with just a flash, and he didn't even make a sound, like a puff of green smoke.
After Xiao Rui's soul was withdrawn from the outside of the cave, he immediately attacked the giant ape's head again. But the giant ape just glanced at Xiao Rui, and Xiao Rui felt a powerful divine consciousness "boom" into his mind, and his divine consciousness was immediately dispersed. The giant ape's divine consciousness seemed to have entered the depths of Xiao Rui's sea of consciousness and turned around, but it did not harm Xiao Rui.
Feeling that the gap in strength was too big, and hearing the shouts of Xia Keming and Luo Hong from the cave, Xiao Rui reluctantly withdrew his offensive. Looking back, Xia Keming and Luo Hong ran rapidly from the passage, bypassed the giant apes who were still squatting around the stone platform, jumped directly onto the stone platform, and stood beside him again.
After the two stood up, they didn't speak, just one side, standing on the left and right of Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui stretched out his two hands, and the hands of the three people unconsciously clasped together.
Xiao Rui calmed down at this time, raised his head and said to the giant ape: "Since Your Excellency can understand what we are saying, there is something unclear below, and I hope Your Excellency will give you an answer." β
The golden giant ape glanced down at Xiao Rui, although it did not attack this time, but the deep eyes still shocked the bodies of the three of them, and they actually took a step back.
"What do you have to say?" The great ape's voice seemed to be suppressed a little by it, and it was no longer so shocking.
Xiao Rui said loudly: "In the past, you have always lived in the depths of the mountains. We humans are only hunting at the edge of the mountains. In recent years, it has rarely entered the mountains, and some hunters have changed their careers to do something else. It's fair to say that we don't have any major conflicts with each other. But why did you leave the mountains this time, come to our world, and even attack us? Are you going to upset the previous balance and conquer the territory of our human race, and are you not afraid that we human beings will slaughter you in turn?"
The giant ape's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of fierceness, and the aura on his body shook, and the three of Xiao Rui actually took a big step back! Xia Keming and Luo Hong only realized at this time how huge the gap between the three of them and this giant ape was. With just a change in breath, the three people on their side can take a step back. If people make a move, or they don't have to make a move, as long as they sneeze, they may be able to spray themselves away!
"You're right, we wouldn't have come out to harass you humans before. The voice of the giant ape calmed down again: "Just like your human society has laws to bind your subjects. We beasts also have our own laws of survival and rules of survival. Our hierarchy is even clearer than that of you humans, and the constraints between the ranks are stricter than those of you humans. Each level of fierce beasts will have their own territory for survival, and unless it is for the purpose of reproduction, it will rarely encroach on the territory of other fierce beasts. I won't bother you humans. Besides, three thousand years ago, we beasts made a pact with you humans. It is not to interfere with each other. You humans have kept your credibility all these years, and have not slaughtered our beasts on a large scale. In fact, the main reason is that your strength has declined, and you have no ability to hunt and kill our fierce beasts, otherwise with your human ambitions, how could you stop. β
The more Xiao Rui and the others listened, the more frightened they became, they didn't expect that this giant ape could not only speak human words, but also seemed to know a lot about human society. The point is that it also said that it had an agreement with humans 3,000 years ago! Could it be that this giant ape has lived for 3,000 years?
The giant ape ignored the surprised expressions of the three of them, and continued: "But in the end, it is you humans who do not abide by the reputation, just half a year ago, you humans had a large number of masters enter the deep mountains and continue to hunt and kill our high-level fierce beasts. The purpose is just to be able to obtain the blood, bones, and inner pills of these high-level fierce beasts as medicinal materials for your human cultivation. It would have been enough if they had just hunted a few, but their ambitions were so great that they began to play with the idea of the deity. β
Although Xia Keming and Luo Hong were still amazed in their hearts, they were now a little used to it. But when Xiao Rui heard the giant ape say the word "deity", his heart was beating wildly. "Deity" is such a familiar word! This is the title that the Dao Zun in the depths of Xiao Rui's sea of knowledge is chanting every day. Daozun said that he used to be the strength of Immortal Venerable, so he often put the word deity on his lips.
Now this giant ape is also mentioning the deity, and being able to speak as a giant ape has already proved that its cultivation is extraordinary. But Xiao Rui still didn't expect that this giant ape's cultivation turned out to be an Immortal Venerable! No wonder his attack was so vulnerable in front of it.
Then, the giant ape actually smiled disdainfully: "Hmph, with the skills of those humans, they also think of the idea of beating me." It's really overwhelming. It's just a little more food for my people. Speaking of this, the giant ape actually looked at Xia Keming, and in his huge eyes, he said with a slight hint of urgency: "However, they are not as much as you think, and they are not as lucky as you, because they have not become golden baba!"
Xiao Rui said suspiciously: "Since they have all been killed by you, why do you still come out? Is it for revenge?"
The giant ape's huge golden head shook, and the surrounding air seemed to be slightly distorted: "If this is the case, naturally it will not let us leave the deep mountains." It's just that what I didn't expect was that those humans still had helpers. And their helper is that I don't dare to say that I can beat it. β
As soon as the giant ape's words came out, not only Xiao Rui, but also Xia Keming and Luo Hong's faces changed greatly. How terrifying this giant ape's cultivation was, the three of them had seen it with their own eyes. But it even says that there are human beings who seem to be more powerful than it! How terrible must this person be?
Xiao Rui asked, "But in the rumors of our human race, it seems that we have long since reached the power of the Immortal Venerable or the level of a high-level divine master!
The giant ape sneered: "Do you really think that you humans don't have immortal-level powers? No, it's not that they don't show up much." Because they are few in number, and there is nothing to interest them, they rarely come out. β
"Then why did they do it to you this time?" Xiao Rui was even more puzzled.
"I don't know, but I checked the knowledge of those guys, and only one of them seems to know a little, it seems that one of their owners has found something that needs some heavenly treasures to assist us. But what it is, he doesn't know exactly either. Their master is the one I said about their helper, because I know him, so I know that his cultivation should be even higher than mine. β
"Is there really such a powerful existence?" Xiao Rui was still a little skeptical: "Now that you know who it is, don't you have any way to resist?" I think after so many years, you must have many ways to avoid his pursuit. β
"You're smart, little one. The giant ape said: "Although I was able to avoid him, it seems that he insisted on forcing me to appear this time, and he actually led his subordinates to hunt and kill my people in the mountains in disregard of previous agreements. So I can only take my people to this side. Try to avoid him as much as possible. β
"Then you mean to say that that person entered the mountain from the west, could it be that he is from the Faro Empire?"
"Hehe, little guy, you are too naΓ―ve, with his cultivation, which empire can restrain him? They just need to find a suitable place to stay, no matter which empire you are? But he does live in the Faro Empire now. β
"I have one more question. Xiao Rui didn't seem to be afraid at this time, and some were just curious: "If you want to say that with your current situation, seeing us humans must be hateful." But why didn't you kill us when you saw us?"
The corners of the giant ape's mouth curled, and he seemed to be very interested in Xiao Rui's question: "Then what do you think? Why do you think I didn't kill you?"
Xiao Rui shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I know that you must have your thoughts and purposes. β
"Well, you're nice, you're smart and honest, and you're righteous. Unlike the few people I killed, they only defended themselves and sacrificed others in the face of death. And you would rather sacrifice yourself than protect your friends. There was a rare hint of softness in the giant ape's eyes: "But the reason why I didn't kill you was because I felt a trace of acquaintance in your body!"
