Xie Zhou volunteered, saying, "Elders, why don't I, a junior, go and take a look for you? I believe you are already aware of my strength."
"Elders, you can rest assured to leave it to me. There is absolutely no problem for you to work together to suppress the Mountain-Moving Ape."
"Elders, you are my support."
Even though many elders wanted to explore as well—for fear of finding some extraordinary treasure that would greatly benefit them—they only exchanged a few token words after seeing Xie Zhou's determined expression. Ultimately, they decided that the elders would keep the ancient demonic beast at bay.
Xie Zhou then went to explore behind the ancient magical beast.
"Very well, since it's decided that way, then elders, take care!"
The elders quickly began using their magical artifacts to hold onto a corner of each person. The artifact was a net-like binding rope. The elders cooperated seamlessly, and the Sword Sect members and others also stood in different corners, spreading out the rope. Soon, a large net temporarily trapped the Mountain Moving Ape.
They also condensed their magic into a chain, binding the Mountain-Moving Ape's hands and feet completely.
Seeing that the elder had restrained the Mountain-Moving Ape.
Xie Zhou calmly walked behind the Mountain-Moving Ape.
But the Mountain-Moving Ape's eyes were constantly changing. It had actually broken free of the spiritual energy chains binding it. Its whole body was radiating a strong light, and its pupils were constantly changing. It was... strengthening itself!
Soon its body swelled up considerably, and the Mountain-Moving Ape revealed its true form—the true face of this ancient magical beast.
Suddenly, the ancient demonic beast went berserk. It was no longer restrained, and the elders were startled. They quickly retreated and placed their hopes on the net. However, even though some elders risked their lives to strengthen the net,
But how could an enraged ancient demon beast be dealt with so easily?
It stretched out its long arm, condensed a ball of light in its palm, and launched a frenzied attack directly at Xie Zhou.
Xie Zhou remained calm in the face of these fierce attacks. After all, she had learned to move very fast before, and was able to calculate the position of those attacks in an instant, so that they would just pass by her without her suffering any harm. She then also created a barrier to block those attacks. The unusual behavior of the Mountain Moving Ape made Xie Zhou even more certain that there was a great secret deep in the Monster Mountain Range.
Xie Zhou took out the Peerless Sword from his storage space again; it was time to show off his treasure!
The system was truly speechless. It really wanted to complain, "The speed of the Peerless Sword, wasn't it officially used just now? How come it's only been a short while?" It was so long since it had been used. It really couldn't understand why it was suddenly feeling a bit cold. It was probably because of the secret guarded by the Mountain-Moving Ape deep in the Monster Mountain Range!
She drew her peerless sword and unleashed her life-giving sword intent, countless auras swirling around Xie Zhou.
Without any leniency, he simply raised the Peerless Sword straight in front of the ancient demonic beast. The sword's edge was extremely sharp, and its sword energy quickly formed an invisible barrier in the air, constantly condensing the sword intent of life. In just one breath, the sword energy was overwhelming, and with a simple move, he directly severely injured the ancient demonic beast.
"Mmm..."
The ancient monster was now like a kitten being chased and beaten, covered in wounds, and it seemed that it could only cry for help by whimpering.
Xie Zhou felt no pity. Looking at the ancient magical beast lying on the ground, he saw that it seemed unwilling to give up, its eyes wide open, staring intently ahead. Its vision was becoming cloudy, so it was certain that its days were numbered.
With the ancient magical beast fallen, the elders, seeing its condition, put away the net that had been there for no reason.
When the elders saw the sword strike with its powerful aura, they were all shocked. After a while, they realized that Xie Zhou, who was like the most powerful being in legends, had already walked up to the ancient demon beast.
Xie Zhou remained calm as always. She placed her hands on the head of the ancient magical beast, trying to sense its sea of consciousness. However, for some reason, Xie Zhou only saw darkness and nothing at all. After her search yielded no results, Xie Zhou gave up.
However, this really puzzled her. Generally speaking, the sea of consciousness does not dissipate quickly before and within a quarter of an hour after death; it still takes a certain amount of time. But why did she only come to check the sea of consciousness after killing the ancient demon beast, hoping to find out where the thing it was protecting was?
But all he could do was go dark. Xie Zhou racked his brains but still couldn't figure out why, so he asked the system for an answer.
"System, what's going on with this ancient magical beast? It evolved from a mountain-moving ape to its current state, which can be considered a last gasp before it dies. After all, its aura was so weak before, and its life source had long since ended. With only half its life force, it's still too inexperienced to fight me. But how could its sea of consciousness space dissipate so quickly? Is there something wrong with it?"
After examining the ancient magical beast, which had long since lost its aura, the host confirmed that it indeed had no consciousness and could not find the reason for this, so he told the truth.
"Host, I don't know why it turned out this way, but it's very likely because it was protecting a legendary treasure!"
"Perhaps so. In that case, let's head that way."
After finishing his conversation with the system, he looked at the enormous ancient magical beast lying there. It had died guarding the treasure, so it had died a worthy death.
Ancient magical beasts have their origins, so even if it dies now, it may regroup and revive many years later. Therefore, Xie Zhou plans to seal this ancient magical beast away.
If it is not sealed, it may be able to recover quickly by using this power, and it will cause trouble everywhere in the future. Although this kind of ancient monster rarely attacks humans, leaving it here is still a hidden danger. After all, isn't the origin of this beast tide and the black tide related to the Temple of the Dead?
The people of the Temple of the Dead certainly understood that in order to obtain something, they would go to great lengths to plan everything from the very beginning, with each step linked to the next. They desperately wanted to possess this treasure, so they would eliminate anyone who stood in their way.
Xie Zhou then affixed a talisman to the ancient demonic beast and silently recited an incantation. Soon, a six-pointed star array appeared beneath the ancient demonic beast, with very complex runes and array patterns on it. Xie Zhou had seen this in some books, and she infused it with her spiritual power, believing that it could seal the ancient demonic beast for a long time.
