At the dim foot of the mountain, a small oil lamp was lit in the Miaoshou Sect's team. The flame was as small as a bean and swayed slightly. In the open space next to the carriage, everyone was silent and guarded beside Xue Lingxiu, watching him treat the monkey with great seriousness...
The old monkey king was badly injured. When fighting with other monsters, they didn't follow the rules of stopping or giving in. They fought to the death. Xue Lingxiu observed its broken meridians with a sidelong glance, his brows solemn. Under the flickering light, he looked so handsome that it was hard to look at him directly, which made people fascinated... But he was treating the monkey.
The scene suddenly seemed a little awkward.
"..." Xue Lingxiu couldn't believe what she was doing. She took up the needle, feeling her self-control was at risk. The veins on her forehead throbbed. "Yun Xian, come here and hold it down. Why are you scratching it?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Xian slowly came over and squatted down: "It's a monster after all, so it's normal that it doesn't understand human language very well."
As she said this, with a "whoosh", Qishuang stabbed into the old monkey king's face again, penetrating deep into the wood. The hilt of the sword trembled slightly, and the effect was immediate. The old monkey king suddenly became much quieter, motionless, and obedient.
It had to be said that Xue Lingxiu's love-severing acupuncture technique was truly remarkable, a skill even Yun Xian, a layman who hadn't read a single page of a medical textbook, could discern. The needle, clearly the thickness of a human finger, penetrated with ease, like a fish taking to water, without the slightest resistance. The moment it entered the flesh, foul blood trickled out, but with another injection, the blood returned to a vibrant red. With just a few needles, the stubborn cold poison was expelled.
However, his attitude towards patients was very warm, but his attitude towards sick monkeys was quite bad. He performed acupuncture and removed needles, applied medicine and bandaged the sick monkeys with an expressionless face, without any concern for the monkeys. The old monkey king hissed in pain, and did not dare to grab Yun Xian, and almost scratched Zhong Changyao's trouser leg with one claw.
Zhong Changyao's expression was also unhappy. He stood aside, holding his sword, frowning and said, "Brother Xue, are we really going to act so recklessly?"
"What do you mean by nonsense?" Before Yun Xian could say anything, Qiao Lingshan spoke first, frowning and asking, "Your method is good, but hers is nonsense?"
Although she also felt that it was a bit ridiculous, she could say, why did Zhong Changyao say that?
Zhong Changyao had a storybook, so he naturally knew that his method would succeed, but how could he say this out loud? He could only say helplessly: "That's not what I meant..."
If they did as he said, as long as Yun Xian and the others could lure the Monkey King away, he could take advantage of the chaotic moment when the monkeys were leaderless to play his unknown trump card - the mysterious powerful man who had been secretly teaching him in the space would appear and intimidate these beasts for a moment, and then he could take the treasure directly.
But the only prerequisite was that no one else could be around. His final trump card must not be known to anyone, not even Jimo Shu. The mysterious powerhouse needed to absorb the energy of the Infant Wonder Fruit to suppress its dissipation. There were six fruits in total, and he would absorb five, then take one out to complete the task.
But now Yun Xian...
Xue Lingxiu was dealing with a monkey, and his patience was already short. He didn't want to get involved in a quarrel. "Yun Xian's plan doesn't conflict with yours. We can proceed with both at the same time. Okay, that's the decision."
Zhong Changyao's expression darkened slightly. He gritted his teeth, but ultimately said nothing.
Yun Xian still looked calm and composed. When Xue Lingxiu pulled out the needle, he suddenly heard her cough lightly.
I just checked and found that this young swordsman was clearly full of energy and in great health. His cough was too deliberate. Xue Lingxiu frowned and raised her eyes to meet her bright obsidian pupils.
Yun Xian winked at him meaningfully, then glanced down at the old Monkey King.
Xue Lingxiu: “…………cough.”
Deeper into the night, a new wave of chaos broke out among the snow monkeys.
It can be said that such a strange thing has never been seen in history. The old monkey king who had just been driven down the mountain recovered from his injuries in a short moment, and quickly launched a formal challenge to the new king who had not even sat on the throne on the tree stump. According to the rules, the replacement of monkey kings cannot involve a third monkey, so once the old monkey king's intention is clear, the monkey soldiers cannot stop him. The monkeys can only squat on their own tree trunks and watch quietly.
Uppercut, lowercut, it was such an intense fight.
I’m so sleepy and tired. When will this game be over?
The monkeys were completely unaware that three people were watching quietly in the shadows under the boulder.
Xue Lingxiu distributed the dark gel and was ready to use it in case of emergencies. The rest of the team had already scattered down the mountain, ready to start their plan.
They have to choose the moment when the monkeys are least prepared.
It's just that monkey fights are really nothing to watch. You slap me and I bite your mouth full of fur. Yun Xian was drowsy watching this when she suddenly heard Zhong Changyao's voice transmission. There was some gnashing of teeth in his voice: "Miss Yun, can you please stop pushing me?"
Yun Xian: “?”
She looked carefully and found that Zhong Changyao was on her left side. No wonder she was pushed. Taipingjian disliked him to death and was naturally the first to disagree.
After changing positions, Xue Lingxiu came to the middle. The old monkey king finally found the right opportunity and used the despicable medicine from humans to smear the numbing powder on the new king's face. In just a moment, the new king's body stiffened and he fell to the ground. He was hit by the old monkey king's horizontal and straight punches, and his nose and face were swollen and he fell into coma.
Win.
Wow.
The monkeys cheered and howled perfunctorily. The old monkey king... no, it should be the new monkey king now, puffed out his chest with pride and threw his defeated opponent into the dark ravine without mercy.
The three of them looked serious.
Right now.
It's time for everyone down the mountain to take action!
At this moment, there was a loud sound of riot at the foot of the mountain, destroying mountains and splitting trees, and faintly heard the sharp screams of monsters. Fire and black smoke rose into the sky, and the battle was so huge that it seemed as if thousands of troops were approaching!
"It's started!... Hmm?" Yun Xian looked towards the foot of the mountain and felt something was wrong. He looked up and asked, "Brother Xue, are we really that strong?"
Xue Lingxiu hesitated: "...right?"
The monkeys had already noticed the commotion and immediately began to squeak restlessly, looking towards the Monkey King for his orders. The Monkey King's sharp gaze swept across the protruding boulder at the edge of the cliff. As agreed, he squeaked a few times and gradually divided the monkeys into several small groups and sent them down the mountain.
Zhong Changyao suddenly said, "That's not right."
Xue Lingxiu said at the same time: "It left people behind!"
At the same time as the two of them blurted out the words, a smug smile flashed across the old Monkey King's human-like face. He grinned, with water dripping from the fangs on the tip of his tongue. He hissed and rushed straight towards the boulder. His speed was so fast that it was impossible to defend against him.
He actually wants to rob his fellow thieves!
Blackmail it? Wishful thinking.
Foolish humans! How dare you challenge the king's majesty? The throne, the Infant Miracle Fruit, and your lives, it wants them all!
The old monkey king was incredibly fast and brought the other monkeys to the huge rock in a flash. Just as he was about to jump up and claw in the air, he found that there was no one underneath.
Old Monkey King: “?!” How could it be? ! !
It showed an expression of astonishment that was very similar to that of a human, and turned around immediately with extremely fast reaction, but it was too late.
On the other side of the cliff, Yun Xian was gently tossing the three infant wonder fruits in his hand and raised the corner of his lips towards it, his meaning was obvious.
Little guy, today I will let you know the evil of human beings.
Fell into a trap!
The old monkey king was so furious that he was about to roar to call back the monkeys who were intercepting the rest of the people at the foot of the mountain. However, Xue Lingxiu snapped his fingers, and although he opened his mouth, he couldn't make any sound, and he had become a dumb monkey.
Yun Xian had used some strong medicine when Xue Lingxiu was treating it, and now it was time for it to take effect.
The Monkey King was speechless, the formation's core was ineffective, and the monkeys, leaderless, could only launch chaotic attacks at the three people who had revealed themselves. The chaotic sound waves were all blocked by the dark gel. Yun Xian had learned from Liu Shi's repeated lesson that talking too much leads to failure. He took the fruit and ran down the mountain, boasting a little as he ran: "Brother Xue, these numbness powder and voice-loss pills are very useful, right? I spent a lot of money on them!"
"...It's quite effective." Xue Lingxiu followed her at lightning speed, thinking the name was odd. "Where did you buy it?"
Yun Xian remained calm: "It's not important."
After all, it would not be good if others knew that I had sneaked into Nanfeng Pavilion.
The three of them rushed all the way, with Zhong Changyao at the rear, but he didn't look particularly happy, even gnashing his teeth. Hearing the commotion, several snow monkeys hurried back from the mountainside, but they were only a few in number and were all driven back by the swordsmen. As they neared the foot of the mountain, Xue Lingxiu felt that things were going too smoothly, so smoothly that it was confusing.
"Do we have so many men?" He frowned and asked, "Can we hold out for so long?"
Zhong Changyao also said: "Something is wrong..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar purple light came from nearby, carrying a bloody aura of life and death, and rushed straight towards the three people!
Yun Xian's face darkened. He raised his sword to block, but was pushed back three steps by the familiar shock. His wrist and chest felt numb.
Looking into the distance, countless snow monkeys that were knocked unconscious were lying on the roadside. The kind and naked bull demon was helping them turn over and tie them up one by one. At first glance, there was a sea of white fur, and it was impossible to count their number.
I don’t know how long the Demon Cult has been lying in ambush, but their fighting power is indeed as unfathomable as rumored outside.
The dust and snow dispersed, and they met on a narrow road. The Saint Maiden of the Demon Cult, Jimo Shu, stood before the three of them, her expression paused: "?"
Yun Xian: “?”
Zhong Changyao: “?”
There was a moment of silence. Xue Lingxiu asked, "...Why aren't you talking?"
"No," Yun Xian thought. Shouldn't Jimo Shu be fighting a sandstorm in the ancient battlefield nearby at this time? Why would she appear on a snowy mountain so far away? "Why are you here?"
Jimo Shu looked at Yun Xian, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed as she asked, "Why are you here?"
When Zhong Changyao saw her, he blurted out in surprise: "Why are you here?"
Three people said, Xue Lingxiu: "...or you should just stop talking."
The scene became solemn again. Everyone looked at each other, their thoughts racing. The four of them were very worried until the Bull Demon in the back tied up the last Snow Monkey and hurried behind Jimo Shu.
As soon as he stopped, he sniffed abnormally, making a loud noise, and then his bright eyes stopped on Yun Xian's hand.
When Yun Xian came down the mountain just now, he had already put the strange fruit into the storage ring, and now he had nothing in his hands.
Jimo Shu asked: "What did you find?"
"Saintess." The Bull Demon directly revealed it and said in a low voice: "She has three Infant Miraculous Fruits on her."
Jimo Shu's gaze instantly fixed on Yun Xian.
Her eyes were truly charming, with long, curly eyelashes, dark pupils that looked a bit purple, and unusually narrow corners of her eyes. It was clearly just a quick glance, but she seemed full of charm and beauty. When she looked at Yun Xian, it was as if she was flirting with a blind man.
The main reason was that when Yun Xian thought about the fact that Jimo Shu was actually only eighteen years old, he couldn't help but treat her as a giant naughty kid.
Things were turbulent between the three of them. Xue Lingxiu frowned and motioned for Yun Xian to move behind him. "What's the problem between you two? What's she going to do?"
"If nothing unexpected happens," Yun Xian said calmly, "we should be in for an accident."
Xue Lingxiu: "..." Really calm. Come to think of it, he had never seen Yun Xian so calm when he drew his sword, and when he was beaten.
He now regretted letting Yun Xian accompany him. With this kind of person who always teases cats and dogs, even when he went out to buy a hemostatic herb, he would meet three of her enemies. This person looked very clear, so why did he act so extreme?
Zhong Changyao clasped his fists and tried to speak: "This girl..."
"I thought the transition between the old and new Monkey Kings and the demoralization of the people was a perfect opportunity to invade." Jimo Shu narrowed her eyes, looking somewhat unhappy. She said slowly, "So, you took advantage of my weakness and swooped in?"
Zhong Changyao was caught off guard by the interruption. Seeing that the other two were silent, he could only cough lightly and said, "Did the young lady misunderstand something?"
Jimo Shu ignored him, and ignored Xue Lingxiu: "Yun Xian!"
Yun Xian was called out, and he poked his head out from behind Xue Lingxiu's shoulder and said bluntly, "There are three more on the tree. If you want one, go get it yourself."
The Monkey King should have come to his senses by now, and the effect of the medicine has almost worn off. The other snow monkeys should have gathered back together, so it might be a little difficult to go there again.
"Get it yourself?"
Jimo Shu's beautiful eyes sharpened, and the snake-like silk behind her curled up again, wrapping around her like a breath, and a warm fragrance swept out. She raised her chin stubbornly and said coldly: "No. I want it from you."
