Chapter 3: The First Battle

In the past few days, in addition to eating, the ape spirit is cultivating, he has liked the feeling of strength slowly enriching his body, and he also found that his appetite is increasing at an alarming rate, he can eat up to three fruits a few days ago, and now he can eat more than 20 fruits, and his body is also growing rapidly, only a few days later, his body has changed from more than one meter to one meter two at the beginning, and the muscles in his body have gradually increased.

All of this became the motivation for him to forget to sleep and eat, and these efforts were not in vain, he could feel that the feeling of emptiness in his body was slowly disappearing, and the essence of the sun and moon was slowly enriching that sense of emptiness.

Today, he was still sitting at the entrance of the cave to absorb the essence of the sun, but at this moment, the monkey hair all over his body stood up, and a sense of crisis enveloped him, which was due to the feeling of biological instinct, so he immediately stopped cultivating and quickly hid in the cave, watching everything outside the cave in a dark corner.

It was quiet outside the cave, and there didn't seem to be any danger, but the ape spirit knew that his feelings were not wrong, because the sense of crisis had not disappeared since the beginning.

Time passed bit by bit, but the momentum became stronger and stronger, making the ape spirit tense all over, and he was ready to shoot at the first time.

When this sense of crisis reached its peak, the quiet woods finally heard a rustling sound, and as the trees shook, a figure slowly appeared.

It was a caterpillar, but this caterpillar was amazingly large, with a waist circumference of more than three meters and a terrifying length of more than six meters, covered with brown prickly hairs, and two red eyes staring at the cave tightly, exuding a bloodthirsty light.

The ape spirit hiding in the cave directly met the caterpillar's eyes, and instantly a chill spread throughout his body, making his body slowly tremble, and out of instinct let him know that the caterpillar in front of him must be more powerful than himself.

The caterpillar had obviously felt the presence of the ape spirit, but did not rush up directly, but kept wandering at the entrance of the cave, but his eyes kept staring at the ape spirit in the cave all the time, although the ape spirit hid in the shadows so that he could not see, but the breath on his body still let the caterpillar know that he was inside.

At first, the ape spirit wondered what the worm was doing, but soon figured it out, and it was clear that the reason he didn't rush in was because of the old demon.

As a big demon who has lived for 10,000 years, the old demon naturally has nothing to say about his strength, even in this ten thousand demon forest where the demon clan originated, he can't find a few demon clans that survived the demon war back then, and every hundred years when the cultivators crusade against him, there are also many demon clans who are rescued by the old demon, so he doesn't dare to provoke him when he is alive.

And these ordinary demon beasts smelled the breath of the old demon from a distance, and they were too frightened to approach, but after the old demon died, the aura it emitted slowly dissipated, which also made some demon beasts slowly approach here, but they didn't dare to get too close.

Finally, after a few days, the breath left by the old demon completely dissipated, and the ape spirit cultivated here, which also attracted this bold caterpillar, but although this caterpillar was bold, it did not dare to rush directly into the cave, because there was still the breath of the old demon inside, so that it could only wander at the entrance of the cave.

As soon as the ape spirit figured this out, he was not so nervous, but he didn't dare to be careless, and still stared at the caterpillar.

As time passed, the caterpillar's patience had obviously worn out, and his body that had been wandering stopped, the prickly hairs on his body stood up, and his blood-red eyes glowed red, and it was clear that he had decided to rush in.

The powerful murderous aura overwhelmingly pressed towards the ape spirit, making his body, which had begun to relax, tense instantly, and the monkey hair on his body also stood up, giving birth to a strong sense of crisis in his heart.

The ape spirit knew that the big insect in front of him was already impatient, and turned his head to look at the small cave, knowing that if he was allowed to rush in, he would have no room to dodge, coupled with the disparity in strength, the final outcome could only be reduced to food.

After enlightenment, the ape spirit was already different from the beast, and possessed extremely high intelligence, and he knew at a glance that it would be detrimental to him to continue to stay here, and after discovering this, he didn't stay long, and a dodge came out, and the speed was so fast that even he himself was surprised.

The caterpillar didn't expect the prey to come out on its own, and after a short pause, it screamed strangely, and rushed towards the ape spirit with its huge body wriggling.

Looking at the caterpillar that slowly grew in the sight, the ape spirit, who had no combat experience, was a little panicked, looking at the body full of burrs, and panicked, but he still relied on his dexterous body to turn over in the air, and narrowly avoided the caterpillar's collision.

The caterpillar didn't expect that this seemingly inevitable blow was dodged by the ape spirit, so angry that he didn't turn his head, and his whole body turned towards the ape spirit, obviously trying to kill the ape spirit with stinging hair.

As soon as the ape spirit landed, he felt the ground tremble slightly, looked up, and suddenly screamed in fright, and ran away, fortunately, through the cultivation of the past few days, his body has been greatly improved, and the speed of escape is much faster, but the caterpillar, as a demon beast that has been cultivating for a longer time than him, naturally can't roll slowly, and it is much faster than the ape spirit, and at the same time, the burrs on his body also flew out, and he flew towards the ape spirit after crossing a parabola.

While escaping, the ape spirit turned back, naturally found these burrs, and screamed again, faster than before and the flexible body dodged before the burr pierced itself, with the interference of these burrs, the distance between the ape spirit and the caterpillar was instantly shortened, and the caterpillar also directly ignored the burrs pierced into the soil, and quickly caught up with the ape spirit.

Looking at the approaching caterpillar, the ape spirit accelerated and hid in the woods, trying to stop the caterpillar with the towering tree.

It's just that soon his wishful thinking came to naught, and he saw that the caterpillar was not blocked by the ancient tree at all, and all the ancient trees in front of him were knocked down by his huge body.

The ape spirit was taken aback when he saw this, and his speed, which had been a little slow, increased again, but fortunately, this area was already familiar with the road, rushing left and right, barely maintaining the distance from the caterpillar.

At this time, the caterpillar suddenly stopped, and the ape spirit, who had been observing the caterpillar's movements, naturally noticed this abnormal behavior, and his body involuntarily stopped, wanting to see what the insect wanted to do.

I saw that the caterpillar slowly compressed his body, and the original three-meter waist circumference became more than five meters, but the length of the body was compressed to half of the original, and at the same time, a little cold light was emitted on the burr, as if metal.

After about a minute, the caterpillar finally compressed its body to the limit, and its red eyes emitted a cruel glow.

Then the originally compressed caterpillar's body suddenly popped out, and a powerful force exploded, and the anti-shock force blew the ground out of a pit with a diameter of about one meter.

Then a huge force came, so that he didn't even have time to scream before he was knocked away, and the ape spirit spat out a mouthful of blood in the air, and from the click sound that came from that moment just now, it can be known that the ape spirit's bones are probably broken.

If it weren't for the fact that he was strengthened by the old demon at the beginning, coupled with the fact that he had been absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon for several days, his physical strength would have been greatly enhanced, and it is estimated that the impact just now would have turned the ape spirit into a cloud of minced meat.

The ape's body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, breaking two ancient trees on the way, stopping at the third, and finally the impact caused him to vomit a mouthful of blood again.

After the ape spirit fell to the ground, the blood kept flowing out, and his body trembled slightly, although he was seriously injured, he did not give up, dragged his body and slowly stood up, his eyes burst out with unyielding light, at this moment his desire for life reached a fixed point.

The sun and moon essence qi stored in the body was activated, and the pain where the two essences passed through immediately decreased a lot, causing the ape spirit's originally trembling body to stop.

The caterpillar didn't expect the ape spirit to be able to receive his own blow, looking at the ape spirit who slowly stood up, and facing the unyielding eyes, this caterpillar who had been cultivating for an unknown amount of time was really angry, and with his current strength, the full force of the blow could not defeat the demon beast that had just started cultivating, making him angry, and with a strange scream, he compressed his body again, and shot towards the ape spirit faster than just now.

The ape spirit, who was not injured just now, couldn't dodge, and now that he was seriously injured, he couldn't dodge the blow, and it was obvious that he was hit again, and with the sound of bones breaking, he was knocked into the air.
