Chapter 9: The Eight-Armed Demon Ape

Early the next morning, Su Huai was woken up by a knock on the door, more precisely, it should be a kicking sound, lifted the quilt, turned over and sat up from the bed, rubbed his eyes, and then got up and opened the door, it was Xue Jun and Du Xuan'er who stood at the door, and there would be no one else who could knock on the door in such a way.

As soon as Xue Jun entered the door, he asked, "Brother Su, did you lose anything last night?"

Su Huai didn't open his mouth yet, but he heard Du Xuan'er say, "Look at his poor appearance, what can he throw away, it's good not to take other people's things."

Su Huai saw that Du Xuan'er was a little sarcastic when she spoke, and couldn't help but think that when she was separated yesterday, how to turn her face faster than turning a book.

It turned out that Du Xuan'er had been dizzy by the success of the theft and Fang Jin's good words last night, and when she went to Xue Jun early the next morning, she learned that Xue Jun's silver taels had also been stolen, and she was so angry that she gritted her teeth, Fang Jin took revenge, Su Huai got the treasure fan, and she obviously participated in this operation, but she lost the silver, so she didn't have a good face when she saw Su Huai, and Du Xuan'er had already recorded her two losses of silver taels on Su Huai's head at this time.

Xue Jun heard Du Xuan'er say this, and when he looked at Su Huai again, he saw a money bag tied around his waist, thinking that Su Huai took advantage of the chaos last night, and it was understandable that Du Xuan'er was angry.

Su Huai saw that both of them were staring at him, and said with a haha, "Wait a minute, take me to come after washing."

After Su Huai finished washing, the three of them simply ate something, and called ten steamed buns to take away in case of emergency.

Jinyang City was originally built to guard the Monster Forest, but because there has been no war for many years, the main purpose now is to facilitate the rest of the merchants, as well as the sale of a large number of animal skins and medicinal materials, the two places are separated by more than seven miles, with the foot strength of three people, it will take more than an hour to reach the periphery of the forest, but it is to see people in twos and threes supporting each other out of the forest.

The area of the dragon forest is very large, and it is rumored that the strongest strength in the forest is an eighth-level black water pit viper, and the level of the demon beast is divided into ten levels, corresponding to the three stages of the yellow level of the human warrior, the three stages of the Xuan level, the three stages of the earth level and the heavenly level, a total of ten stages, and the eighth-level demon beast is equivalent to the strength of the middle stage of the human earth, and the demon beast is born with strong attack and defense power, so generally speaking, the strength of the demon beast in the same level will be higher than that of humans. But the wisdom of these high-level demon beasts is not lower than that of humans, and they are generally hidden in the mountains to cultivate, as long as they do not break into their territory, they will not take the initiative to attack, and it is very rare for a large number of people to escape with injuries like this.

Su Huai and the three of them looked at these injured people and couldn't help but have some questions in their hearts, Xue Jun stopped the two men who walked past him and asked, "Two big brothers, I don't know what happened in this forest, why did they get injured like this."

One of the men in black looked at Su Huai and the three of them and said, "I don't know when an eight-armed demon Yuan appeared on the periphery of this forest, and he beat people when he saw them, and many of them were planted in his hands, no, the injured ones walked away, I don't want to lose my life for an iron bone ginseng", and after speaking, he pointed to the other people who walked out of the forest together.

"Thank you for this big brother," Xue Jun said with a fist at the man in black.

"Little brother, I advise you not to go, you lost your life in vain," the man in black sighed, waved his hand and walked out of the forest.

Xue Jun looked at the backs of the two men in black, thought about it with his chin in his hands, and said to Du Xuan'er, "Xuan'er, I was entrusted by my second uncle to come to you to go back, so let's stop here."

"No, you promised to accompany me to Jinyang City and go back", Du Xuan'er pouted and said angrily.

Xue Jun looked at his angry appearance and said helplessly, "It's too dangerous inside, I'm afraid I can't protect you with my skills."

Du Xuan'er heard Xue Jun say that she didn't go in, mainly because she was afraid that she would be in danger, and her heart was as sweet as eating honey, and she was secretly proud and heard Xue Jun say, "If you have any mistakes, how can I explain to your father."

When Du Xuan'er heard this, her secretly smug face fell, but she said angrily, "Confess, confess, you will know the explanation, if you don't go, let him take me", said and pointed to Su Huai with one hand.

Xue Jun watched Du Xuan'er stride towards Su Huai, and hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean that", seeing that Du Xuan'er ignored herself, she looked at Su Huai and said, "Brother Su also decided to go in."

"I do have some things I have to go," Su Huai said.

Seeing that Su Huai had no room to say, Xue Jun could only agree, "Okay, in that case, I will also go together, and many people will take care of it", paused and said to Du Xuan'er, "But after you go in, everything has to listen to me."

When Du Xuan'er heard this, she snorted softly and twisted her head to the side, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

After a short period of stagnation, Su Huai and the three of them walked towards the interior of the Dragon's Forest, in addition to humans, there were actually many corpses of demon beasts along the way, and after inquiry, they learned that the appearance of the eight-armed demon Yuan was to protect the iron bone ginseng, and all those who were identified as threatening to the iron bone ginseng, whether it was a human or a beast, were expelled or directly killed by the eight-armed demon Yuan.

This news is simply the best for Su Huai, who was worried that he would not be able to complete the things explained by Master Wuwei alone, but now there is an eight-armed demon Yuan, this kind of heavyweight demon beast is much more reliable than Su Huai.

The trees of the Spirited Forest are luxuriant like the giant pillars of the sky, and there is only a little afterglow left when the sun hits the ground, and a gust of wind blows through the branches and leaves rustling with the wind, and the light and shadow through it also change into different shapes, Su Huai took a deep breath, felt the freshness brought by nature, and secretly exclaimed that the magic between heaven and earth is really beyond the reach of man. Su Huai was born in the imperial capital, and he has seen a lot of various rockery gardens, but it is the first time he has seen such an ancient tree forest and towering giant trees.

Xue Jun and Du Xuan'er were not surprised by this, except for being alert to the things around them, they were not as curious as Su Huai.

Su Huai also asked about the origin of the two of them, Xue Jun just smiled and said nothing, but Du Xuan'er said a little naughtily, "There are a lot of bad people in our place, if you do bad things in the future, come to me", and patted his chest as if you were fine. Su Huai looked at her naughty smile and subconsciously looked at Xue Jun, but found that Xue Jun just smiled and nodded, and did not correct Du Xuan'er's meaning, even Xue Jun agreed with Du Xuan'er's words, which made Su Huai believe Du Xuan'er's words for seven or eight points, but Xue Jun has always been an image of a literati in Su Huai's impression, and although Du Xuan'er is a little arrogant, his nature is also kind and straightforward, how can such two people have a relationship with the demon sect forces.

There are often merchants in the Spirits Forest who come to buy medicinal materials, and nearby farmers often come to hunt, so the periphery of the forest has already been walked out of a few roads, and Su Huai and the three of them are not slow to walk along the road, but the huge forest is quiet and abnormal, and the occasional corpse bones make people a little creepy.

When the three of them were moving forward, they suddenly heard a whooshing sound, and the three of them each jumped to the tree on the side of the road, and in less than three minutes, they saw a group of megalodons galloping past the place where Su Huai and the three of them were just now, the megalodon is a very low-level yellow demonic beast, its main attack power is to rely on a sharp tooth, like to live in groups, the most important thing is that they have a strong sense of danger, and they can often escape from the place of the incident before the danger comes.

Su Huai and the others all jumped off the tree after the megalodon left, Su Huai looked at the direction the megalodon came from and said, "The megalodon has a strong sense of danger, we should gain something if we go in the direction where the megalodon came."

Xue Jun looked at the direction of the megalodon when it came, not all of them were already formed roads, most of them had to pass through the thorn bushes, and said, "Then Brother Su will open the way, after I break it, Sister Xuan will always pay attention to the movements around her in the middle."

Su Huai didn't hesitate at all when he heard this, he pulled out the Kaiyun Sword and walked in the direction where the giant tooth rat came, the giant tooth rat has a small body, as long as there is a slight gap, it can come and go freely in the thorn bush, and Su Huai and the others can only cut through the thorns and open a road, these thorns have been hard as iron after wind and rain, but under Su Huai's Kaiyun sword, it is like chopping melons and vegetables, and a sword can cut a large area, but it does not delay much time to move forward.

It took more than ten miles to walk out of this thorn forest, and what was in front of him was a dense forest, which was not as difficult to walk as the thorn forest, Su Huai put away the Kaiyun Sword and the three of them still walked towards the depths of the dense forest one after the other, and just walked into the dense forest for a few minutes, but they heard a roar, and with the roar, the birds and beasts in the jungle dispersed to all sides, and as the roar stopped for a while, the forest returned to a dead silence.

"Eight-armed Demon Ape," Su Huai and the three of them exclaimed at the same time.

"Listening to its voice, it should be not far ahead, not more than three miles," Xue Jun said with his finger pointing straight ahead.

"Let's go, listen to the roar of this eight-armed demon ape, there should be a fierce battle ahead" Su Huai looked in the direction pointed by Xue Jun and said a little anxiously, and as soon as he finished speaking, he flew towards the place where the sound came from, Du Xuan'er saw Su Huai kicking off and following with his feet, but Xue Jun was a little hesitant, but when he saw Du Xuan'er's figure, he gritted his teeth and followed.

After the three of them walked in the dense forest for more than ten minutes, they saw a figure flickering not far ahead, and immediately slowed down and slowly approached the figure, and when they got closer, they found that this was a clearing with a radius of 100 meters, and there were some trees and more than 20 corpses lying in it, and it could be seen that there had been a fierce battle here not long ago, the ground that was originally lush with grass and trees had been potholes, and the soil raised by the fierce battle had not completely fallen, and it was floating in the air with a burst of fragrance and a touch of blood.

In the center of the field is an ape full of red hair, its body is the size of a house, with four arms on its back, and two more arms at the ribs, plus the original two arms are called eight-armed apes, but this eight-armed ape now looks a little embarrassed, one of its back hands has opened a hole more than half a meter long, and the blood is constantly flowing out, dyeing the already red hair more and more red, and a pair of eyes the size of a baby's fist are staring angrily at the onlookers More than 70 people.

The eight-armed ape is considered a powerful existence even among the demon beasts of the same level, and its hair can be described as invulnerable, and with the addition of innate divine power, several uprooted trees in the field are the work of the eight-armed ape.

More than 70 people surrounded the eight-armed demon ape around the clearing were extremely nervous at this time, and their eyes kept staring at the eight-armed demon ape, there were originally more than 100 people who met to besiege the eight-armed demon ape, but unexpectedly, the eight-armed demon ape was hard and ordinary with a sword with hard fur and was difficult to hurt at all, and this beast was fierce and abnormal, and it was a stick to pull up a tree, and lift a stone like a hammer, and more than 100 people fled. Dead death, now there are only more than 70 people left, but no one dares to go first, the eight-armed demon ape's previous desperate struggle is still palpitating when he thinks about it now, but no one is willing to leave, and it took a lot of effort to hit the eight-armed demon ape hard.

Demon beasts above the prefecture level have the opportunity to form an inner pill in their bodies, if they take the inner pill of this eight-armed demon ape, it is not necessary that the skill of stagnant for many years will be improved, and this injured ground-level demon beast is not available everywhere.
