Wang Zheng did not linger there for long, and after a brief touch, he threw the dead giant ape's corpse into his storage space.
He then crawled out of the pit and quickly walked to Qiu Manling, who had been dead for some time. Wang Zheng did not mind the bloodstains on their bodies and gently picked up their mutilated remains.
This was his promise; at the very least, he would bring the two bodies back.
Wang Zheng was imagining how he should face Ling Youjie later.
"roar--"
Just then, a familiar roar rang out from afar.
Along with this roar came countless small, noisy animal growls.
The direction from which these sounds came was precisely the direction in which Ling Youjie and You Dazhi were resting.
Wang Zheng was anxious, so he pushed off with his feet, bypassed the raging flames, and rushed back.
When he saw from afar that Ling Youjie and You Dazhi, who both had solemn expressions, were accompanied by another, even larger, giant ape, Wang Zheng's heart sank.
A single Rank 6 Vajra Giant Ape is already difficult to deal with, not to mention that there are dozens of Rank 5 Mighty Apes around the giant ape, waiting for their chance to strike.
Although this mighty ape is not as thick-skinned and strong as the giant ape, its size is no different from that of an ordinary ape.
However, the fact that they were able to obtain such a name naturally signifies their immense power.
This mighty ape is a strange beast that evolved from monkey-like wild animals.
Although these two kinds of strange beasts belong to the same order of primates, their personalities and living habits are completely different. The Great Ape is a social beast, and whether it is foraging for food or fighting enemies, it often appears in groups.
At this moment, these two strange beasts are facing off, and the roar just now was the giant ape showing its power to these little monkeys.
Now, the dozen or so strange beasts in the group also smelled the blood on Wang Zheng, so they all turned their heads to look over.
Ling Youjie, who was trapped in the middle of the monsters, and You Dazhi, who had regained consciousness, also saw the teammate that Wang Zheng was holding in his arms.
Their eyes were filled with tears, because Wang Zheng had kept his promise and brought his teammates back.
But faced with this certain death, they knew they had no chance of survival.
Not to mention that their mental energy was almost exhausted, even if they could really take off and escape, were they going to leave Wang Zheng alone to face the enemy?
At this moment, their eyes revealed unwavering determination.
When the two of them saw that the attention of the strange beasts had been drawn to Wang Zheng, and that some of the powerful apes had even given up the encirclement and wanted to move closer to Wang Zheng, they realized that the beasts' attention had been drawn to Wang Zheng.
So the two of them decided to leave this glimmer of hope to Wang Zheng.
When Ling Youjie saw that Wang Zheng had noticed him, he smiled and his lips moved slightly.
Wang Zheng understood his lip reading; he was telling him to run away.
Then, Ling Youjie and You Dazhi exchanged a glance and simultaneously shouted out.
Humanity will prevail!
This sudden shout drew the attention of the surrounding beasts back to the world. Immediately afterwards, the two of them activated their spiritual energy and chose to detonate their mental power.
Above the area surrounded by the strange beasts, the air seemed to have become distorted.
Countless streams of air were being squeezed and compressed by an invisible giant hand, constantly collapsing.
The space itself seemed to have been crushed, cracking open with jet-black fissures.
The crackling sound continued, as if the entire sky was about to collapse. The compressed spiritual energy was like sharp swords, making people's scalps tingle and causing them to tremble uncontrollably.
Suddenly, an extremely terrifying aura burst forth from the spatial rift and spread outwards.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and the atmosphere became unusually heavy.
Immediately afterwards.
"boom--"
"Waaaaah~~~~~~"
The mental energy that had been constantly compressed suddenly expanded, producing a deafening roar.
In an instant, a gale howled, soil and rocks collapsed, countless flying sand and stones were swept up, and the entire ground began to shake violently.
Even Wang Zheng, who was far away, was struggling to breathe due to the wind pressure caused by the explosion, and his clothes were fluttering loudly.
A full half minute later, the suffocating gale finally subsided, and everything returned to normal.
At this moment, the strange beasts that had just surrounded Ling Youjie and You Dazhi all had blank stares and were swaying unsteadily.
Even more strange beasts that were closer to the two were swept away by the air currents and thrown far into the depths of the jungle, their fate unknown.
Looking at the two people who had fallen in the center of the storm, Wang Zheng suppressed the mental pain in his mind, put the remains in his arms into his storage space, and then quickly rushed towards the beast horde.
Although he couldn't save their lives, at the very least, he should have taken their bodies home.
At the very least, we mustn't let them be buried in the wilderness, becoming food for strange beasts.
Among the beasts, the strongest, the giant ape with a natural resistance to psychic abilities, was gradually regaining consciousness, shaking its head and its eyes becoming increasingly clear.
Wang Zheng pushed off with his feet and rushed into the horde of strange beasts in just a few steps. He then pressed down on the two corpses with both hands and silently chanted "Retrieve."
You Dazhi's corpse appeared instantly in Wang Zheng's storage space.
However, Ling Shaojie remained lying on the ground, motionless.
Wang Zheng was stunned at first, then overjoyed.
His storage space couldn't hold living beings, which meant that although Wang Zheng could no longer sense Ling Shaojie's presence, in the system's perception, he was still alive!
