Chapter 64 Changing the Plan
Ji An saw golden light pass through the ape demon's cheek and emerge from the center of its skull.
He immediately activated the Stone Turtle Shield, controlling the magical artifact to rush towards the flying ape demon, with a Water Curtain Talisman appearing in his hand, ready to be activated at any time.
"Bang!"
The ape demon was knocked off course and landed heavily beside him, its body still twitching instinctively.
Ji An breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that he was lucky that his perfected Gengjin Finger was effective, otherwise he would have been in danger.
Generally speaking, a Qi Refining stage demon beast has only one innate spell. This ape demon can release wood elemental energy to form spiritual armor, and he subconsciously thought that this spell was the ape demon's innate spell.
To everyone's surprise, the ape demon possessed a second spell. The moment the vine-entwining spell was activated, his powerful divine sense had already detected its formation, and his brain issued a command to dodge.
However, his body reacted too slowly, and he was tied up before he could dodge.
The reaction was too slow! Actually, it could have been avoided if there had been sufficient mental preparation.
Ji An shook his head. He was just an ordinary person in his previous life, and he is just an ordinary person in this life as well.
The stone tortoise he brought with him when he transmigrated gave him a higher starting point and more possibilities, but it was too naive of him to think he could dominate the world without being tempered.
The only passable part of this battle was that when he realized he had been hit and could not move, he released a spell that hit the ape demon's head.
In that instant, he thought of many things.
On the path of cultivation, he still has many aspects to improve.
Rewinding to the moment the battle began, when Chen Moxuan saw the ape demon assume a grabbing stance but Ji An didn't dodge, he anxiously roared inwardly:
Get out of the way, are you a pig?!
When we were making plans last night, he talked about the fighting style that the Aoki apes are good at, and how grappling is their surefire way to deal with small creatures.
It's difficult for a Qi Refining stage disciple to control two magical artifacts simultaneously with their spiritual power. The distance is too close, and even if the opponent uses the Mountain and River Seal, it will be difficult to repel the demon beast. Without dodging, it is absolutely impossible to avoid the ape demon's capture.
Chen Moxuan, no longer bothering to conceal himself, leaped out from his hiding place and roared, "Hey!"
He wanted to use this to attract the ape demon's attention, hoping to save the newcomer.
Damn it, if you're not dead, hurry up and go back to your sect and farm properly!
At this moment, Chu He also rushed out and shouted:
Run!
A sense of helplessness washed over him. Buddy, wait a minute, you seem pretty clever, why are you such a coward in battle? Could it be that you were stunned by the ape demon's roar?
He felt a pang of regret; he should have found a few weaker demonic beasts for the other party to practice against.
With this kind of reaction, you want to participate in the demon hunt? You'd be more likely to be hunted by the demons!
The distance of a dozen or so feet was very short. When Chen Moxuan and his companion rushed over, they saw the ape demon lying on the ground convulsing, and a big question mark flashed through their minds.
Chu He caught sight of the bloody hole on the monster's head, picked up his hammer, stepped forward, and smashed it heavily against the monster's arm.
Amidst the dull rumble and the crisp sound of bones cracking, the monster remained unresponsive.
He grabbed the ape demon's head, saw the wound on the beast's cheek, and gasped.
When did the Geng metal element become so powerful?
It pierced through the ape demon's protective aura and two layers of hard bones; those thinner, lower-grade magic weapons would probably be pierced through in one blow.
At this moment, the other team members gathered around and saw the wounds on the ape demon's cheeks and head.
A thought flashed through his mind: 'When did the Geng Metal Finger become so powerful?'
Shocked, Chen Moxuan slowly spoke:
"That was dangerous. Junior brother, you should have dodged while simultaneously casting a spell to retaliate."
"I wanted to hide too, but I really didn't expect this ape demon to have two innate spells!"
Only then did Ji An realize the cold sweat on his back. He pointed to the vines wrapped around his legs.
These vines are as thick as a thumb and are very tough. If it were an individual cultivator, they might be able to break free easily, but he couldn't do it in a short time.
Only then did everyone notice his condition and immediately understand why he hadn't dodged.
Tian Yulei felt a chill run down his spine; he was usually the one responsible for luring the monsters.
If he were in that situation today, caught off guard, his chances of survival would be slim.
He doesn't have a defensive artifact that can protect him from all angles. If he were to be captured by the ape demon, he would surely suffer broken bones and ruptured internal organs.
"Senior brother's magic is exquisite, truly admirable."
Tian Yulei spoke sincerely, no longer daring to refer to himself as the senior brother, and adopted a very humble posture. In a sense, the other party was taking the blame for him.
Chen Moxuan used his magic sword to cut off the vines and said gently:
"Junior brother, you rest first. We'll deal with the monster first."
The monster was quickly dismembered, leaving only a pile of minced meat on the ground.
Ji An was finally free. When he pulled up his trouser leg, he saw a patch of bruises on his calf.
He watched as the team skillfully cut open the animal hides and extracted the ape demon's heart essence. The scene was bloody and disgusting, and he forced himself to watch despite his discomfort.
He will need to do these things in the future.
Jiang Qiuyue took out a packet of medicinal powder and sprinkled it nearby, which greatly reduced the smell of blood in the air.
"Let's go somewhere else."
Chen Moxuan whispered, and everyone quickly moved away.
"Junior brother, what level is your Geng Metal Finger technique at now?"
Jiang Qiuyue asked in a low voice, "I can't kill a Qi Refining Level 8 demon beast with a spiritual energy shield in one blow."
The others unconsciously held their breath and pricked up their ears to listen.
"On the eve of our departure for Moyashan, we were fortunate to have successfully completed the rehearsal."
"The perfect Gengjin Finger is so powerful. If Senior Brother Ji's spell hits the Ape King, it should be able to cause direct damage."
"Boss, so it seems that Senior Brother Ji's plan to wipe out the ape demons in one fell swoop is feasible!"
Tian Yulei said excitedly, "The reason why the monster horde is a headache for cultivators is that under the leader's command, cultivators will only be surrounded and attacked. Their defense is already precarious, so how can they have the strength to attack?"
If the beast leader can be killed, the beast horde will inevitably fall into chaos. Until a new leader is established, the beast horde will be a disorganized mess.
Chen Moxuan turned around and grinned:
"That's what I was thinking too. Let's leave first and discuss the plan again."
What's the most effective way to deal with gregarious monsters? Decapitation strikes, of course!
The Ape King cannot be alone; success can only be achieved by overcoming multiple layers of protection and eliminating the Ape King in a very short time.
If they fail to do so, they will face an attack from numerous Aoki apes.
Due to insufficient attack power, they were unable to decisively end the battle, something that was almost impossible for them before.
But now that Ji An possesses perfect-level magic, he has seen hope.
He carefully examined the new team member a few more times, wondering if the other party had any special physical condition.
Without talent, it's difficult to even master a spell to a high level, let alone achieve perfection.
Among the Qi Refining stage disciples he knew, only two could hone their attack spells to perfection, but the youngest of these two was already forty years old.
A disciple who has been in the sect for five years is at most twenty-three years old, yet he possesses the Gengjin Technique at a perfect level, and his future is limitless.
