Chapter 46: The Zoo (Part II)
The ape spirit found that after entering the Royal Beast Garden, he regained his mobility, moved his muscles and bones, and then began to observe his surroundings.
This is a large grassland, except for a piece of green under your feet, the sky and the earth are white, you can only see ten meters away at most, the surroundings are quiet, and you can't even hear the sound of insects.
The ape spirit released the demon consciousness again, and soon everything within a radius of a kilometer appeared clearly in his mind, and still no other creatures were found, which made the ape spirit wonder. According to those cultivators, there should be a lot of spirit beasts here, why is it so quiet, it feels very strange.
It glanced back and found that it was also white behind it, the door had disappeared, and it didn't know what year and month it would have to wait until it escaped, and it began to worry about the little brothers in the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, hoping that the cultivators would not find them.
The ape spirit sighed slightly, understanding that it would be useless to think about it now, the most important thing now is to quickly find a safe place to absorb the essence of the sealing demon silk, and restoring strength is the top priority now, otherwise if you encounter a spirit beast that is more powerful than yourself, you can only be beaten passively, and it is even possible to be killed.
Thinking of this ape spirit, he took a step and walked over, there is no shelter around here, if it encounters an attack when absorbing the sealing demon silk here, it will be very dangerous for it, or a cultivator who comes in casually finds that he actually absorbs the sealing demon silk, and he will not let go of himself, so it is very important to find a hidden place.
Along the way, the ape spirit found that the concentration of spiritual energy here was comparable to the cave where he lived, which made it secretly happy in his heart, which undoubtedly gave it an excellent cultivation environment.
After walking for almost an hour, everything around it did not change in the slightest, it was still white, which gave the ape the illusion that it had been spinning in place, and gradually it became a little irritable.
After walking for another hour, the ape spirit sat directly on the ground, thinking to himself, "What the hell is this place, why is there no anger at all, could it be that those cultivators are playing tricks on me, there are no other creatures here at all?"
However, it quickly denied this idea, because those cultivators would not play with themselves, and there were special guards at the door, which showed that this was indeed a place for cultivators to raise spirit beasts, as for why there was no biological breath here, it was not clear, maybe it would know later.
After resting for a while, the ape spirit stood up and set off again, this time it did not rest, and it did not know how long it had been walking, how many miles it had walked, and the sky was slowly darkening, and the night of the grassland was exceptionally cold, but fortunately, the ape spirit had no feeling for the temperature, and did not feel any discomfort.
The ape spirit walked for a day and a night, and then it stopped, because the surrounding scenery finally began to change a little, the green grass on the ground gradually disappeared, and the fog around it also faded a lot, and now the naked eye could see a place fifty meters away, and the temperature around it gradually increased.
Half a day later, the fog disappeared at noon, but it was not happy, because what appeared in front of it was the boundless golden desert.
Looking up at the sky, there was a huge sun hanging in the blue sky that was unscrupulously swaying the sun, a stream of heat rose, the air was slightly distorted in the high temperature, even the ape spirit felt slightly hot on the sand on the sand, and the heat on its face made it feel like it was about to suffocate.
The ape spirit swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked behind him, where it was still white, and the grassland and desert seemed to be blocked by an invisible prohibition, and the white mist could not enter the desert.
It hesitated slightly, and finally made up its mind to go into the desert, this time it shrunk the demon consciousness to a radius of ten meters, because there is no fog relationship it can visually detect far away, and there is no need to cover such a large area of the demon consciousness, the reason why it is not withdrawn is to avoid the crisis that cannot be seen by the naked eye, the range of ten meters can occasionally have preparation time when there is danger, and it will also increase the time to release the demon consciousness, otherwise it will keep covering a large area with the demon sense, which will make it easy to get tired.
Thus began the journey of the ape spirit into the desert again, and although the ape spirit no longer needed food to supplement its physical needs, it still felt that its mouth was dry, and the harsh sunlight made its eyes a little unclear.
Finally the sun set, a crescent moon hung in the air, the temperature difference in the desert is particularly large, during the day it feels like being in a furnace, and at night it is like falling into an ice cellar, but the ape spirit still prefers the weather at night, it can stand the cold at night, but it can't stand the heat of the day.
It walked around like this for more than ten days, and during this time, it also did not encounter any creatures, which made it feel that it had really been tricked by cultivators, and there was not even an ant in this place, let alone any spirit beasts. At this time, an endless mountain range appeared in front of it, and at first the ape spirit didn't care, because he had seen many such mirages on the road, and this time he thought that he was seeing a mirage.
However, as he approached the mountains, a cool wind blew, mixed with the fragrance of tender grass and the smell of earth, which lifted the spirit of the ape, and immediately understood that this was not a mirage, but that he was really about to walk out of the desert.
The ape spirit roared excitedly, and the two-meter-tall body ran quickly, and the distance of more than a thousand meters had already passed through in just a few breaths, entering this mountain range.
Looking at the vibrant trees and flowers around him, the ape spirit felt a sense of relief, sat down on the ground, reached out to pick a wild flower next to him, leaned under his nose and took a deep breath, the faint fragrance of flowers came to his nose, making the ape spirit's whole body feel fluttering.
At this time, a butterfly flew down on the tip of the ape spirit's nose, the ape spirit was slightly stunned when he saw this, and then a wave of ecstasy surged into his heart, reaching out and grabbing the butterfly in his hand like lightning, and kept looking left and right, the butterfly obviously didn't expect to be caught, desperately trying to break free, but unfortunately in vain.
After looking at it for a while, the ape spirit released the butterfly, and knew in his heart that since there were butterflies in this place, it meant that this was not a dead place, but there were still living creatures, and it was likely that those spirit beasts in the mouth of the cultivators were gathered in this place.
The ape spirit did not rush into the depths of the mountain range, but wandered around the edge of the mountain range, and now it is not clear which spirit beasts are in the mountain range, in case it encounters a powerful one, it is a little reluctant to escape at all in its current condition, so it still decided to absorb the demon sealing silk in its body first, and after recovering its cultivation, even if it encounters a spirit beast that it can't beat, it can escape. And this place belongs to the edge of the mountain range, I just swept it with my demon sense, and found that there were no powerful lifeforms within a kilometer of the house, only one or two small insects.
Soon the ape spirit found a small cave at the edge of the mountain range, the entrance of the cave was not big, only one meter high, which was a bit small for a two-meter ape spirit, and there was no choice but to start smashing it with his fists.
With the continuous roar, the stone chips flew wildly, and the original one-meter-high hole was smashed to a height of two meters by the ape spirit, but fortunately, the space inside was not small, two and a half meters high, enough for the ape spirit to stand.
This cave seems to have been abandoned for a long time, and after entering, a peculiar smell came to the nostrils, which made the ape spirit frown, and looked around, and found that there were a lot of weeds growing on the ground, and some animal feces were scattered inside, emitting a foul smell, obviously the peculiar smell in the cave was emitted by these things.
Because the demon power was sealed, and he couldn't use the clone, the ape spirit had to do it himself, although he was a little reluctant to clean up the feces, but it was a demon clan, but he didn't even dare to touch it like humans. Soon the entire cave was cleaned up, but the smell wafting through the air had to dissipate on its own.
There was a vacant space in the cave, and he sat down, and the first thing he did was not to absorb the sealing demon silk, but to start meditating, and the ten days of rushing made him very tired from the dark path, and he had to take a rest.
The next morning, a little sunlight came in from outside, the ape spirit slowly opened his eyes, after a night's rest, the fatigue of these days was swept away, his brain became much clearer, and his whole body felt lighter.
Walked to the entrance of the cave and stretched, took a deep breath, the fresh air inhaled into the chest cavity made it feel comfortable, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery around it, then released the demon sense to check it, and after making sure that there were no spirit beasts, it returned to the cave and began to absorb the demon sealing silk in the body.
Fortunately, it had already had the experience of absorbing the golden sword before, and without too much hesitation, it began to cultivate the golden muscle jade bone technique, with the cultivation of the magic technique, the magic weapon essence in the sealing demon silk was slowly extracted, and a trace of black silk thread was peeled off from it and integrated into the muscles and bones of the body, and a faint light emanated from the muscles and bones.
The sealing demon silk is a one-time treasure, and its quality is also high and low, the sealing demon silk that Yuan Yue used to seal the ape spirit is a mysterious-level magic weapon, if the ape spirit absorbs the essence in it, it is estimated that it can also smoothly enter the silver bone stage, which will make its physical body more powerful.
The speed at which the ape spirit extracted the essence from the sealing demon silk was not very fast, because it was a magic weapon that directly sealed out his own demon pill, and when it was a little worse, it might damage the demon pill. When the demon pill is at its root, if it receives the slightest damage, it will be very bad for the future development of the ape spirit, and if it is not good, it will stop at this realm and cannot break through.
Anyway, what the ape spirit does not lack now is time, so it is not in a hurry, just peeling off from it bit by bit, with the disappearance of the essence, the sealing demon silk also slowly loses its luster, and a touch of silver light shoots out through the gap, and the demon consciousness of the ape spirit can vaguely see a jade-like transparent demon pill dripping and turning, although it is only a trace of breath, but the ape spirit still feels that it has reached the middle stage of forging bones, which makes it overjoyed, and after absorbing the sealing demon silk, the golden muscle and jade bone magic can also enter the silver bone stage, which makes its strength reach a new height, even if it encounters a spirit beast in the pregnancy and infancy period。
