The creature chasing after them from afar was clearly after the King Kong Giant Ape, but as the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer. Xiong Ga shouted loudly to Mane, "Come back quickly!"

Fortunately, this sudden crisis brought Mane to its senses, and it quickly turned around and ran towards Li Qing and the other person.

"Come on up!"

Xiong Ga leaped onto Qi Zongmao's back and turned back to Li Qing anxiously.

After jumping onto the mane's back, Xiong Ga immediately ordered the mane, "Run!"

The roars coming from afar ignited the mane's potential; it leaped a great distance with a powerful push from its two hind legs.

“Let’s go into the bushes,” Xiong Ga suggested cleverly. “These two big guys are fighting. As long as we don’t wander around in front of them, they won’t bother us. Let’s try to go to some secluded places.”

Feeling the wind blowing from behind, Li Qing clearly reminded himself not to look back, but he still couldn't help but look back.

He saw a giant ape that was several times larger than the Great Ape.

Its back is as broad and thick as a mountain, and its legs are thick and very short, but these are obviously only "auxiliary" to it. What is really useful are its two arms, which are even thicker than its thighs.

Its arms were also short, but their thickness was terrifying, requiring at least five or six adults to encircle it. It was facing away from Li Qing, so Li Qing couldn't see its front, but he could fully imagine that the front of this terrifying creature must be ferocious and ugly.

Upon seeing this creature, the giant ape began to pound its chest uneasily and roar, but the creature, several times larger than itself, remained silent, standing still in place.

"...This guy is the Tyrant Demon Ape. It lives in an area that none of us dare to go to. It is an uncommunicative, ferocious beast that will eat its own offspring when it is starving and has no feelings for them. At the same time... it is also an extremely powerful ferocious beast."

Ahead, Xiong Ga's voice came.

He kindly advised, "We'd better not provoke it, and we'd better not be too curious."

"I see."

Li Qing turned around and said in a deep voice.

Whoosh!

The scenery before them changed; the two had ventured deep into a thicket of grass as tall as a person, and Li Qing was now surrounded by greenery.

Behind him came the sound of heavy objects crashing together, as well as roars. Li Qing knew that these were the sounds of the giant ape and the tyrant demon ape fighting each other.

A few seconds later, Li Qing heard a wail from behind.

That was undoubtedly emitted by the Great Ape.

Even if this "pseudo-beast" possesses considerable strength and can survive in such a treacherous era, it will still face being eaten when it encounters its natural enemy, no matter how powerful it is.

boom!

Another loud bang was heard.

It was the sound of the giant ape falling to the ground.

Hopefully it can escape.

Li Qing was extremely anxious. The Tyrant Demon Ape was so powerful that it showed no mercy to its own kind. Would it turn around and deal with him after it had dealt with the Vajra Giant Ape?

Another roar came from afar, but this time it sounded so weak and powerless.

"Collapse! Collapse!"

Something climbed up the tree.

Having already moved far from the "battlefield," Li Qing had no idea what was happening there. He could only hear that the sound seemed to be getting louder and louder, and farther and farther away from him. Soon after, another sound of footsteps on tree branches also came out.

Li Qing couldn't see what was happening behind him; he could only guess that the Vajra Giant Ape had somehow managed to survive, realized it was no match for the Tyrant Demon Ape, and started to flee.

"That's good... Hopefully it can buy us more time," Li Qing thought to himself.

From ahead, Xiong Ga's complaining voice came: "We've run into a problem!"

"?"

"I've never been here before."

"ah!"

Li Qing couldn't help but exclaim, "No way, are you kidding me?"

"real!"

Xiong Ga said angrily, "Why would I lie to you? If it weren't for hiding from those two guys, we wouldn't have come here. This place is full of weeds. We've never been here before."

Li Qing: "That's not funny."

Xiong Ga: "What's the rush? We can easily go back and take the route we know. Didn't you hear? Those two big guys have already run far away. It's perfectly safe for us to go back now."

He readily admits his mistakes, and then immediately comes up with a solution. You truly live up to your title of chief; you are incredibly adaptable!

After cursing a few times in his mind, Li Qing said in a deep voice, "Alright, that's not a bad idea."

“Come on, Mane, let’s go back. They’ve run far away, so we can go back to the way we were going,” Xiong Ga patted his mane and breathed a sigh of relief. “Luckily, the snakeskin bag was tied around our waists, otherwise, with all that activity, we would have lost all the croton seeds we managed to get.”

Li Qing shrugged.

Just then, a furious roar, unlike anything they had ever heard before, suddenly came from afar!

The sound was so loud that both of them could hear it clearly. Li Qing, sitting on the mane's back, could even feel a slight tremor in the ground.

Xiong Ga: "What's going on!?"

Li Qing: "Can't you understand what they're saying? What was it that you couldn't understand?"

Xiong Ga angrily replied, "Of course I understand! It's probably just him venting his anger at letting that giant ape escape!"

"It actually ran away?" Li Qing said in disbelief. "Could it have run into one of those caves that only they can squeeze into, leaving the Tyrant Demon Ape with no other option but to howl to vent its frustration?"

Xiong Ga: "How would I know!"

Li Qing mimicked Xiong Ga's tone and calmly said, "If that's the case, then we'd better not go back."

"Why."

Li Qing calmly analyzed, "The Tyrant Demon Ape can't wait for the Vajra Giant Ape in that place forever. It might turn back in frustration. If we go back at that time, it will be like giving it a feast... although this 'feast' might just be a piece of cake for it."

Xiong Ga: "I feel it's unlikely. A ferocious beast like it wouldn't live in such a small place. It wouldn't be interested in prey in a small place. It's probably chasing this giant ape for some other reason."

“You mean it won’t go back to the persimmon tree?” Li Qing crossed his arms. “Can you guarantee that? It’s a matter of probability. And even if there’s only a one percent chance it will go back there, when that one percent is triggered, one percent becomes one hundred percent!”

Xiong Ga: "What are you talking about?"

Li Qing: "I'll say it again..."

However, just as they breathed a sigh of relief and were chatting, a series of sparse sounds suddenly came from nearby!
