Chapter 754 Chapter 756 Mandrill's Tree Hole
Rong Xianxian activated the Ice Soul Pearl, and a wall of ice protected her. The attack of the mandrill was blocked. Rong Xianxian looked at the sharp hairs flashing with faint light that were struggling to break through the ice wall. She could only continue to increase the thickness of the ice wall. These hairs gave her a very strange and dangerous feeling, telling her directly that she must not let these things get close to her.
These hairs seemed to have life, moving around inside the ice wall. Rong Xianxian had successfully advanced and opened up the Purple Palace, but she had just been attacked by a heavenly thunder, the Black Turtle Shield was broken, and the flying carpet had drained the spiritual energy from her body. Although she had taken the elixir, the time was short after all, her injuries had not healed, and the foggy space had no reaction. Rong Xianxian could only use the sachet space and the common weapons she carried with her. Fortunately, she had prepared a full set of life-saving medicines and some convenient hot weapons in the sachet space.
Seeing that Rong Xianxian blocked its attack, the mandrill's face revealed a frown and thoughtful expression, and its silver-gray eyes rolled around, staring closely in the direction of Rong Xianxian.
The area where the mandrill is now is only one step away from the outer defense circle set up by Rong Xianxian. If the mandrill can move forward one more step, Rong Xianxian can detonate the buried explosives. However, the mandrill seems to have sensed the danger and stays outside the defense circle, refusing to move forward another step. There is a dangerous monster watching it covetously. Rong Xianxian dare not relax her vigilance for a moment. As time passes, the hair needles in the ice wall have gradually lost their vitality. As the sky darkens, Rong Xianxian knows that she can't go on like this. She needs to find a safe environment before dark and heal her wounds as soon as possible. She must break this stalemate.
Rong Xianxian tried to communicate with the Domain Stone again, but could only see the Domain Stone hanging safely in her Dantian. She was still unable to enter and had no way to retreat. It seemed that she could only fight head-on.
Rong Xianxian activated the soul-calming bell in her hair to perform mental interference. At the same time, she slapped a speed talisman on her body and ran away suddenly. The painted-faced mandrill, who had been paying attention to Rong Xianxian's actions, was distracted by the mental attack and did not think about anything else. He immediately gave chase. With a loud bang like thunder, Rong Xianxian detonated the bomb she had buried in advance. The explosion had not completely stopped yet, and accompanied by a shrill cry, the painted-faced mandrill, who was covered in wounds and on fire, escaped and died on the spot. It rolled to put out the flames on its body, then opened its mouth and spit out a ball of golden light towards Rong Xianxian. Rong Xianxian dodged it, drew out the Soul-Devouring Sword and rushed forward. The injured mandrill not only did not retreat at all, but became more ferocious because of the pain, and its body was as fast as lightning. Rong Xianxian could only see a series of afterimages in front of her eyes, and the Soul-Devouring Sword in her hand could not even touch the mandrill's hair. Not long after, Rong Xianxian, who had not yet recovered from his injuries, felt his breath uneven, and the mandrill made strange squeaking sounds, with a ferocious momentum and moved like a ghost.
Rong Xianxian had no choice but to activate the spiritual energy detector that was close to her scalp and connected to the nerves in her brain. There was a "boom" in front of her eyes, and her vision changed. The afterimages of the harlequin mandrill formed a large spiritual energy trajectory. With the help of the spiritual energy detector, the Soul-Devouring Knife hit the harlequin mandrill repeatedly, making crisp "clang clang clang" sounds, like the intersection of metal and stone. Rong Xianxian's right hand holding the knife was numb from the shock, but the harlequin mandrill was not hurt at all. The harlequin mandrill's skin was as tough as leather, its hair was long and fine, and its bones were harder than steel. The Soul-Devouring Knife's blade was so sharp that it couldn't even break the mandrill's skin.
It was already dark, and there were shadows in the forest. The strange screams of the mandrills were eerie and creepy. Rong Xianxian took out the only electromagnetic Gauss sniper rifle in the sachet space. A brilliant blue light band illuminated the dark night. The bullet was fired silently. Only a "puff" sound was heard, and the sound of the bullet piercing the flesh. Rong Xianxian communicated with the spirit seed in the Soul-Devouring Sword and swung the Soul-Devouring Sword like a flying knife in the direction of the sound. With a "bang", the Soul-Devouring Sword hit the mandrill's body where the bullet hit. Only a "wow" was heard, and the mandrill, feeling extremely dangerous, turned around and ran away with the Soul-Devouring Sword.
Rong Xianxian took out a bottle of spiritual essence from the sachet and drank it, while chasing after him on the flying carpet.
Rong Xianxian's soul was connected to the spirit seed in the Soul-Devouring Sword, and she could feel that the spirit seed of the Soul-Devouring Sword was already devouring the mandrill's soul. However, the progress was slow due to the mandrill's violent struggle. The mandrill was jumping and flying in the woods at a very fast speed, just as it was out of the woods it went back into the woods again. Although Rong Xianxian was stepping on a flying carpet, she was still left far behind. If it weren't for the Soul-Devouring Sword's positioning function, she would have lost it long ago.
After crossing countless woods for about an hour, Rong Xianxian chased the harlequin mandrill and came to a valley. In the center of the valley grew a huge ancient tree. To the east of the valley was a small waterfall, and there was a pool of water below the waterfall.
The mandrill was lying on the trunk of the ancient tree, trying hard to climb up. At this moment, an image suddenly flashed through Rong Xianxian's mind. The harlequin mandrill gently pushed the trunk, revealing a hole. The mandrill easily crawled in. However, in fact, after Rong Xianxian was promoted, the ability of the spirit seed in the Soul-Devouring Sword to devour the soul had become much stronger. The soul of the harlequin mandrill had been completely devoured by the spirit seed of the Soul-Devouring Sword. Just when the mandrill was about to climb to the hole, with a "click", the mandrill was exhausted and fell off the tree trunk.
What Rong Xianxian just saw was the memory of the harlequin mandrill, as well as the mandrill’s inner hope in the last moment of its life.
Rong Xianxian walked to the ancient tree, picked up the body of the harlequin mandrill, stuffed it into the space in the sachet, flew to the tree trunk on the flying carpet, and according to the mandrill's memory, found the hole with a diameter of only half a meter, pushed open the "door" that was integrated with the tree trunk, and crawled in.
As night falls, many nocturnal creatures become active. This tree hole is obviously the "home" of the mandrill. It is the mandrill's shelter. It should be relatively safe here. If you cannot enter the foggy space, spending the night here is a good choice.
