The four set off from the camp and walked for nearly three hours before finally reaching the cave where the Yeti was trapped.
Wengji and Chanshan sealed the cave with wood, making it look like a cage. As they approached, they heard a loud roar, and a white figure lunged out, but the wooden bars were too sturdy, and it failed to break through.
Only then did Chen Yang see the full appearance of this creature that only existed in legends.
Just as Ongi described, it looked like an albino gorilla, but stood on two legs, making it more human-like than a gorilla. Its facial features were also different; its brow ridges were not as prominent, its skin was deeply grooved, its mouth was large, and its ears were long and thin.
"roar!"
It roared at Chen Yang and the others through the wooden fence.
Ongji took off his backpack, revealing the fruit inside, all of which he had picked from the Nightfall Forest.
“This guy is an omnivore and also eats meat, but Master Zenshan does not kill living beings, and I am not very good at hunting. It is good enough if I can ensure that I can eat meat. So I have been feeding him fruit during this period.”
Ongji tossed the fruit through the gaps in the wooden fence, and the Yeti immediately picked it up and ate it in large mouthfuls, looking just like a human.
Chen Yang and Ye Wu were amazed. Humans always have an inexplicable sense of closeness to animals that resemble humans, and this Yeti was the most animal-like creature they had ever encountered.
"If we caught them and sold them, we could build two more new Microworld Inns," Ye Wu said.
“This can’t be sold. It’s different from other creatures; it has never been studied before. Selling it would be a crime,” Wengji said angrily.
Ye Wu scratched his head awkwardly, almost forgetting that Weng Ji was an animal protector. If it were other creatures in the micro-world, it would be fine, but if a creature like a Yeti were to be bought and sold, Weng Ji would indeed be somewhat displeased.
Their previous transactions involved selling animals to people who could better protect them, much like how many breeders of rare animals sell their pets to zoos—a transaction without killing.
They quickly turned their attention back to the Yeti.
This yeti is very tall, like a bear, with thick limbs, well-developed muscles, and a straight back, very similar to a human in appearance.
“It will be very difficult for me to defeat it after it is released, and I am also old. I might get slapped to death by it, so I can only ask you for help,” Zenshan said with a smile.
If Chanshan were to engage in close combat with Chen Yang, Chanshan would undoubtedly win. In terms of martial arts skill, the gap between Chen Yang and Chanshan is too great, and his abilities are insufficient to bridge that gap.
However, Chen Yang has a greater advantage when dealing with creatures like Yetis that rely solely on brute force, which is why Chen Yang was asked to come and help tame them.
Chen Yang was young and strong, and possessed special abilities, so he was not afraid of the Yeti. He had even tamed the unruly horse, which no longer resisted being ridden by Chen Yang, and was not far from being able to command it freely.
They opened the horizontal bar of the wooden fence, pulled out one of them, and created an opening in the fence.
Apart from Chen Yang, everyone else was holding torches. Yetis are creatures that live in ice and snow and are more afraid of fire than ordinary animals.
Some creatures in extreme environments are actually very sensitive to temperature and cannot adapt to temperature changes. Polar bears are rarely frozen to death, but many die from heat.
Chen Yang, the only one without a torch, naturally became the Yeti's weak point.
It roared and charged toward Chen Yang at great speed, its running posture almost like that of a human.
Chen Yang easily dodged the Yeti's charge, and the Yeti threw another punch, which he also dodged, and then turned around and punched it back.
Chen Yang's fist landed on the Yeti, seemingly causing it a little pain, but only a little pain.
Chen Yang's punches may seem light, but they could easily knock out an adult with one punch. However, this only caused the Yeti some pain.
No wonder Master Chanshan asked Chen Yang for help. Although his martial arts are extraordinary, his physical condition can no longer keep up. If he gets tired and is caught off guard by the Snow Monster Mountain, then he will be in trouble.
Chen Yang didn't have this problem; he and the Yeti were exchanging blows, creating quite a lively scene.
Although this Yeti was tough and strong, it was still far inferior to the giant short-faced bear from before, and its humanoid body gave Chen Yang's Xingyi Quan a better chance to perform.
Two figures, one large and one small, were constantly attacking each other on the snow. Midway through, the Yeti picked up a wooden stick to use as a weapon, and Chen Yang did not stop it, because he wanted to see how the Yeti used the wooden stick.
However, the Yeti's attacks were completely unpredictable, relying solely on brute force, making it easy for Chen Yang to dodge.
Seeing Chen Yang's composed demeanor, the other three relaxed. Wengji quickly began observing the yeti's movements and reactions, as this was crucial data.
After fighting for nearly ten minutes, the Yeti began to tire. It was putting all its strength into every attack, and it couldn't hold out for long.
Seeing that Wengji had observed for a while, Chen Yang finally launched a counterattack, his fists raining down like raindrops. He didn't use much force, just relentless blows, making the snow monster howl and cry out in pain.
Before long, the Yeti squatted down on the ground, hugging its knees, just like a wronged child.
After a while, it stretched out another hand towards Chen Yang, but its head remained lowered and it did not raise it.
“This should be a sign of submission, Chen Yang, try touching its hand,” Weng Ji said.
He was also very excited at this moment. Although Zen Mountain had defeated the Yeti, it had not made the Yeti submit. Unexpectedly, Chen Yang's punches and kicks had made the Yeti submit.
Perhaps because they are both humanoid beings, using fists would make the Yeti more convinced.
Ye Wu looked at the scene and thought it looked familiar.
He thought about it carefully and realized, "Isn't this 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes'? Is this the start of a new movie?"
Chen Yang reached out and touched the Yeti's hand, and the Yeti immediately jumped up happily, startling Chen Yang so much that he almost punched it again.
The Yeti happily hopped around Chen Yang and even rubbed against his legs.
"Damn, this guy's awesome." Ye Wu stepped forward, wanting to touch the snow monster, but was met with a roar from the snow monster.
“This guy seems to only acknowledge Chen Yang,” Weng Ji said, as he tried to get closer, but the Yeti remained very wary. This made Ye Wu feel a little better.
Zenzan also stepped forward, and this time the Yeti did not roar, tacitly accepting Zenzan's approach.
"It seems it only acknowledges those who have beaten it. Ye Wu, why don't you give it a try?" Chen Yang said with a smile.
Ye Wu compared the Yeti's arms to his own legs, and then gave up on this unrealistic idea.
"Right, let's name this guy and its race. We can't keep calling it a Yeti forever," Ye Wu said.
“I’ve already decided on a name for this race: Xue Kui, the leader among the snow. Kui also means strong, and the ghost radical fits its image as a ghost in folklore,” Weng Ji said.
Ye Wu sighed, "Those who have studied are truly different."
There were no objections to the name Xue Kui, so it was settled. The next step was to give Xue Kui a proper name.
This was naturally left to Chen Yang, since Xue Kui had submitted to Chen Yang.
Chen Yang thought for a moment and said, "Let's call it the Azure Ape."
