(Chapter 439 onward: Immortal Emperor breaks through apocalypse in a frozen world)
Li Mu cultivated for tens of thousands of years, finally becoming the number one Immortal Emperor in the Imm...
Next, everyone stopped dispersing and gathered together, carefully moving forward in the forest. Soon it was already night outside the forest, and it was pitch dark under the forest. At Zheng Yunxia's reminder, Zhang Jingxuan put away the flashlight. After all, they had spiritual sense to observe the situation, and things like flashlights were not very useful and would attract monsters.
Since most creatures that survive in this cold environment prefer to travel at night, for safety reasons, everyone decided to set up camp on the spot, spend the night, and continue their journey the next day.
Bai Ziling took out a larger flying boat from the Qiankun Ring, which was large enough to accommodate everyone and float in the air, thus avoiding threats from the ground.
At dawn the next day, as everyone got out of the flying boat, they saw a monkey that had appeared in front of the boat at some point in the morning, and was looking at the boat with a wary look on its face.
"Senior, we broke in here unintentionally. We didn't mean to offend you!" Zheng Yunxia said quickly. Although she didn't know what species this monster was, since she didn't even notice when this monster approached them, its strength must be unfathomable.
"Humans, do you know the rules of the Dark Forest? Now is the forest closure period, and my Dark Forest does not allow you humans to enter!" the monkey said in a deep voice.
"Brother Monkey, you have to clarify this matter. Sun Shaoqian said that a big shot has negotiated with your boss and allowed us to come in!" Zhang Jingxuan said.
"Huh~? What did you say?" The monkey glared at Zhang Jingxuan.
Zhang Jingxuan didn't know where he got the courage from, and repeated, "A big shot has negotiated with your boss about our entry into the Dark Forest. Sun Shaoqian said so!"
"Who is Sun Shaoqian? I don't even know him. I was referring to what you said before. What did you call me?" the monkey said angrily.
"Brother Monkey?" Zhang Jingxuan asked cautiously.
"You are the monkey, your whole family are monkeys! I am a monkey, a flying monkey!" The flying ape glared with anger.
"Brother Yuan, I was wrong!" Zhang Jingxuan quickly admitted his mistake.
Everyone was speechless. That was right. There was a big difference between apes and monkeys. If someone said that Zhang Jingxuan was a monkey, he would definitely be unhappy. However, this flying ape had a good temper and did not slap Zhang Jingxuan to death.
After hearing what Zhang Jingxuan said, Fei Tianyuan gave up and said calmly: "I didn't receive any news about the big shot who called me."
After a pause, the flying ape continued, "Forget it. God is merciful. You humans can't cause any trouble in the Dark Forest, so I won't make things difficult for you!"
"Why don't you ask your boss?" Zhang Jingxuan felt a little uneasy. If Sun Shaoqian really deceived them, and the flying ape spared them this time, what if they encountered other monsters? It can't be so easy to talk to, right?
"Who are you? Are you going to alarm the Demon Saint just for a few of you?" The Flying Ape said unhappily. It was just a little demon in the dark forest, how could it easily meet the Demon Saint?
"Well...that's true. Two or three thousand people coming in is no big deal for this vast dark forest!" said Zhang Jingxuan.
"What do you mean? Two or three thousand human beings?" The flying ape suddenly lost his composure.
"Yes, we are from Ping'an Domain. We are here to participate in the competition. There are more than a hundred sects participating! There should have been a lot of people passing through your territory yesterday, right? How come you didn't see them?" Zhang Jingxuan said.
"Hiss~" The flying ape took a breath of cold air. It had been in seclusion in the mansion at the top of the forest recently. It had just come out of seclusion this morning and found people from Lingxiao Sect and Danxia Sect. If there were really thousands of people flying over its territory and it didn't notice them, then this would be a serious dereliction of duty! But with so many people passing by, it was impossible for his men not to notice them.
Thinking of this, Fei Tianyuan took out the voice stone and shouted, "Second brother, come and see me!" After a long time, the voice stone did not respond, and there was silence all around.
The flying ape frowned, adjusted the frequency of the sound transmission stone again, and shouted: "Third brother, come here!" There was still no movement from the sound transmission stone.
Fei Tianyuan's frown deepened, and he simply sent a message to the group: "Whoever hears this, give me a shout!"
At this moment, Zhang Jingxuan felt a vibration in his pocket, and doubtfully took out a crystal bead from it. Then a voice came from the bead: "Who among you, if you hear me, say something!"
Everyone was stunned, and the flying ape looked at Zhang Jingxuan with a murderous look on his face.
"I didn't, I didn't! I picked this thing up from the body of the wolf-headed bat yesterday!" Zhang Jingxuan quickly explained.
"What did you say? What did you do to my sixth brother?" Fei Tianyuan asked Zhang Jingxuan murderously.
Zhang Jingxuan was overwhelmed by the momentum of the flying ape and felt a little breathless. His legs went weak and he almost fell from the air. Fortunately, Zhao Dongsheng reacted in time and held him up.
"Senior, calm down. When we found Senior Wolf-headed Bat, it had indeed been killed, and its body had already begun to rot. We just came in yesterday. Not to mention whether we can hurt it with our strength, the timing doesn't even match!" Zheng Yunxia explained.
"Where is he?" Fei Tianyuan asked in a deep voice.
"Ah?" Zheng Yunxia didn't react for a moment.
"I'm asking you where my sixth brother is now?" Fei Tianyuan said again.
"It's in that direction, about 300 miles away!" Zheng Yunxia pointed in the direction they came from.
"Come with me!" Fei Tianyuan said to Zheng Yunxia and others.
"It's what we should do." Zheng Yunxia nodded. After all, they were still suspects, and Feitian Yuan would definitely not let them go until they were cleared of the charges.
On the way back, Zhang Jingxuan's legs were still a little weak, and the large flying boat could not fly fast in the forest, and the speed was not good. Zhang Jingxuan wanted to get on the small flying boat, but was driven down by Han Menglu. What a joke, there were girls on it, and Zhang Jingxuan actually wanted to get on it! So Zhang Jingxuan had to fly with the help of Zhao Dongsheng.
"Old Zhao, you are so nice!" Zhang Jingxuan said with some emotion. Just now Zhao Dongsheng helped him up and prevented him from falling down, and now he was helping him to move forward. How could he not be moved?
However, Zhao Dongsheng did not have a good face for him and said, "If it weren't for the fact that we have been friends for several years, I would be the first to beat you to death. How could you be so mean? You stole things from other people's corpses! Now you have brought us such a big trouble!"
"No way? I clearly took it. It's dead now. What's the point of keeping it?" Zhang Jingxuan became less and less confident as he spoke.
Zhao Dongsheng shook his head and ignored him all the way in silence. As everyone was concentrating on getting on with their journey, they moved very quickly and soon arrived at the place where they had discovered the wolf-headed bats yesterday.
