After traversing more than ten mountains and searching for some second-grade spiritual herbs, Lin Xiaofei began to feel something was amiss.
As he ventured deeper, he discovered that some of the monsters, upon seeing him from afar, no longer pounced on him but instead turned away or hid.
This made him feel very strange.
Previously, when he was picking second-grade spiritual herbs on various mountains, whenever a demon beast saw him, it would put on a fierce appearance and pounce on him.
Nowadays, when second- and third-tier demonic beasts see him from afar, they will retreat and quickly move away.
He originally intended to hunt the corpses of some high-level demonic beasts to nourish the spiritual energy of the spatial bead, but unexpectedly, those second- and third-level demonic beasts became smarter and left directly.
"What's going on?"
Could it be that the demonic beasts of the Giant Ape clan already know of my existence? Is that why the demonic beasts on various mountain peaks fear me and stay away from me?
In that case, it would be very difficult for me to hunt high-level monsters along the way.
Those demonic beasts at the peak of the second tier or above all seemed to be heading towards the lair of the giant ape clan.
Now, I can barely even hunt down second-tier demonic beasts.
As Lin Xiaofei picked second-grade spiritual herbs, he muttered to himself while quickly observing everything happening around him.
Because he was searching for second-grade spiritual herbs in the jungle, his walking speed was reduced, which caused the demonic beasts to run away as soon as they saw him from afar.
It was precisely because he discovered this that he found it strange.
"Um?
Was that a peak-stage Tier 3 giant ape?
Lin Xiaofei climbed to the top of a mountain and suddenly looked at a mountain peak opposite him. He saw a giant ape, more than 20 feet tall, moving through the mountain and was stunned.
This peak-level third-tier giant ape is one of the leaders of the giant ape clan. It is running around various mountain peaks, preparing to inform the giant apes on each mountain to quickly evacuate and return to their nests.
Without hesitation, Lin Xiaofei took a step forward, unleashing his speed to the fullest, and rushed towards the third-tier giant ape.
"What's going on? Why is that human cultivator chasing after me?"
Wasn't he searching for rare and precious herbs in various mountains? Why is he chasing me?
Commander Yuanran quickly noticed Lin Xiaofei rushing out of the opposite mountain and rapidly approaching it. Startled, he immediately fled.
Soon, it realized that Lin Xiaofei was much faster than it, and the distance between them was gradually closing. It knew that this human cultivator would catch up with it soon.
"The Giant Ape Prince originally said that when I saw the other party, I should retreat as soon as possible and not fight with him."
However, the other party is clearly relentlessly pursuing me and will probably catch up soon. Once they do, they will inevitably make a move.
Since I can't avoid it, I'll fight this cultivator and show him the power of my giant ape clan.
Commander Yuan Ran paused, turned to look at Lin Xiaofei who was rushing towards him, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.
Ape suddenly swung his arm and slapped the ground, causing the earth to shake violently within a radius of several hundred feet.
Then, Yuan Ran's figure soared into the air, like a meteorite falling.
It was a peak third-tier demon king. With its giant ape bloodline, it could have transformed into a human form, but it had become accustomed to the enormous size of the giant ape race.
The bloodline of the giant ape clan is considered a high-level bloodline, and the power generated by this bloodline can enhance their combat capabilities.
Therefore, although it was only a peak third-tier giant ape, its strength was comparable to that of a cultivator at the half-step Nascent Soul stage.
In addition, its arms are extremely hard, comparable to the Nascent Soul treasures of human cultivators, and are also its most powerful offensive demonic treasures.
It believed that it could defeat Lin Xiaofei with its own two arms.
As it approached Lin Xiaofei, some early-stage Tier 3 demonic beasts on distant mountain peaks saw this and rushed up to fight alongside Commander Yuan Ran.
Soon, seven or eight early-stage Tier 3 giant apes, leading hundreds of Tier 2 and Tier 1 demonic beasts, swiftly pounced from the mountains.
They formed an encirclement, preparing to surround Lin Xiaofei.
"What's going on?"
Before, they would either run away or retreat when they saw me, so why are they suddenly charging at me now?
Lin Xiaofei was taken aback, then stopped in his tracks, his eyes flashing, and he thought to himself:
Are these monsters plotting something?
He immediately became alert, and after looking around, he did not find any movement that posed a threat to him.
Soon, a large group of demonic beasts, following behind the peak third-tier giant ape, surged forward with an imposing aura, as if they were about to flatten the entire forest.
Suddenly, a demonic aura emanated from the bodies of these thousands of demonic beasts. The demonic aura from these beasts converged, forming a massive and chilling aura.
If an ordinary cultivator were to see this, they would be terrified by the dense demonic aura.
"This giant ape has a very imposing aura and looks like it's here to kill me. Moreover, this third-tier giant ape is leading a group of demonic beasts to besiege me, which suits my purposes perfectly."
Seeing that there was no threat around, a glint of light flashed in Lin Xiaofei's eyes.
Originally, this group of demonic beasts was scattered across various mountain peaks, and their rank was relatively low, so Lin Xiaofei had no intention of hunting them.
However, the appearance of this giant ape actually drew together second-tier demonic beasts from various nearby mountains.
This actually piqued his interest, and he wanted to use all these demonic beasts as nourishment for the Spirit Heaven of the Space Pearl.
Without hesitation, Lin Xiaofei rushed forward.
"go"
Lin Xiaofei quickly closed the distance, until the two were about three miles apart.
He waved his hand, and a silvery-white light quickly gathered at his fingertips, emitting an astonishing spiritual energy fluctuation that transformed into a sword aura.
With a whoosh.
The sword energy flew out like a shooting star in the void, its speed reaching its limit, and the sword energy flashed with a silvery-white light.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The void trembled, and the air exploded wherever the sword energy passed.
This sword energy was a single strike that could shatter all laws at the Lesser Completion stage, comparable to a strike from a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
The sword energy moved with the speed of a beam of light, reaching the group of demonic beasts in the blink of an eye.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
Thousands of demonic beasts roared incessantly, their demonic aura converging to form a powerful and chilling aura.
At the same time, the giant ape leader leaped into the air, his arms swinging like two enormous iron rods.
Moreover, that enormous demonic energy gathered on the Ape Leader, slightly increasing its strength.
At this moment, it unleashes its full combat power.
The power he wielded with both arms reached a level comparable to that of a cultivator in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm.
With a loud bang.
puff!
The silvery-white sword energy descended directly upon the giant ape leader's arms, swiftly severing them like a sharp blade.
In an instant, it was as if a tremendous force was rapidly transmitted to the giant ape, and the giant ape leader was like a cannonball, quickly being bounced away.
The sword energy dimmed slightly, but its momentum remained undiminished.
The sword energy surged forward relentlessly, its terrifying fluctuations rapidly heading towards the group of demonic beasts that had surrounded them.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
This group of demonic beasts was crushed into mincemeat by the fluctuations of sword energy, just like tofu.
Although the fluctuations emanating from this sword energy represent a single sword strike that breaks through all laws at the Lesser Completion stage, its power is still difficult for even a Nascent Soul cultivator to withstand.
Therefore, this group of ordinary demonic beasts naturally could not withstand the fluctuations of this sword energy and were quickly killed.
