Chapter 52: Lion Ape and the Favor Ring
This white-haired monkey.
Leon gripped his sword tightly and thought to himself:
You can tell how terribly strong it is just from its stance.
It is not an ordinary monkey, it is a monkey that can use dual swords and it looks very fierce.
When he said strong, he didn't mean how high the panel values were. If you only looked at the panel, even a roasted whole pig could probably break the bones of a double-bladed white ape in one go.
What Leon was referring to was the skills of the White Ape with Two Blades, or his strong martial arts skills.
Looking at its full muscles, slender body, legs and feet that are exerting force secretly, and its eyes that seem to be staring at this side unintentionally, it is already known that it is a top-notch monkey.
He suddenly felt an urge to compete with him.
"I want to fight him in a duel," Leon said, "I can tell at a glance that this white ape knows swordsmanship, let me go."
"I understand, I understand," Malu waved her hands and said helplessly, "If you can't hold on any longer, we'll just rush over and beat it up, right? After all, that's what we've always done before."
"That can't be called a gang fight, that's too vulgar," Drew stroked his beard and corrected him, "That's recognition and respect for the enemy's strength."
"I want to fight it, too," Tel watched eagerly.
"Next time you come, it'll be your turn,"
Leon walked and stood a few steps away from the white ape, sword in hand, ready to attack.
He was born into a famous swordsman family and learned good swordsmanship since elementary school. His greatest characteristic is that he is good at attacking, using his violent and violent attacks to overwhelm the enemy.
"Hey, come down,"
The white ape glanced at him, turned over and jumped off the tree, holding a long sword in each hand, standing leisurely without saying a word, really having the demeanor of a master.
"Squeak!" The surrounding monkeys screamed more and more excitedly. At this moment, the white ape with two swords moved!
"What a sharp knife,"
With a bang, it jumped in front of Leon and chopped down heavily with both swords.
Leon was not a weakling either. He raised his sword and swept away the white ape's weapon. He suddenly changed direction and slashed at its chest!
"Bang!"
The invigorating sound of blacksmithing was heard, and as sparks flew, the white ape perfectly blocked Leon's slash.
“A bit of technique!”
Leon smiled, and his sword became more and more ferocious, as if he was ready to kill the white ape in one go and not give the opponent a chance to counterattack.
On the other hand, although the white ape could block every sword attack, the strength of its arms was gradually decreasing, and its D-level strength was not enough for it to fight Leon for a long time.
The level of "Sekiro" is still a bit low. Elite monsters like the Fire Bull and the Red Demon are not even as good as the Minotaur in the other world. Only the Sakura Dragon and the Demon of Resentment have some strength.
Gong Qiying placed the dual-blade white apes in the dungeon mainly because he was impressed by their skills, which were special attacks against adventurers or people.
Furthermore, flexible humanoid monsters are actually more troublesome to deal with than large monsters, and their interference effect is stronger than their combat power.
Leon's breathing became heavier and his strength was gradually decreasing. Perhaps it would be wise to stop and recover.
But when he saw that the white ape was about to collapse, his competitive spirit made him continue swinging his sword.
Not only was he influenced by his desire to win, he wanted a battle to wash away the shame of his death at the hands of Guoran Weng. The thought of being killed by that inconspicuous monster made him furious, and his emotions affected his judgment.
This kid wants to be greedy!
As we all know, greedy sword is the symbol of a master, and it is a strategy that can only be adopted when the enemy's moves are completely under your control.
If you rush in without knowing your opponent's moves, you will only...
“Ping!”
There was a crisp sound of hammering iron, which was very pleasant to the ear, much better than the banging sound of the swords colliding before.
Looking at Leon again, his sword was bounced away!
To use the words in the game, his posture bar collapsed.
His expression was still a little confused, and he immediately swung his sword to block, but it was too late. The white ape with two swords grinned and chopped down!
"Bang!"
There was another sound of hammering, but this time it was the turn of the double-bladed white ape to be confused.
Because his knife broke!
Leon looked at his silver armor with two scratches on it, then looked at the white ape's broken swords, and suddenly he couldn't hold it anymore.
“Puchi—hahahaha!”
He immediately seized the opportunity, slew the white ape with his sword, and won the victory.
The decision to borrow money to build this good set of armor was a great one, and he couldn't help but be thankful for his foresight in the past.
Even Sekiro with the indestructible Kusabumaru couldn't cut Robert who was wearing armor, so it was normal for White Ape's inferior dual swords to be broken by the enchanted armor from another world.
It's a victory for defense!
Not only Leon laughed, even Gong Qiying, who was watching here, laughed out of anger.
Damn, I only focused on the strength of the monsters but forgot to upgrade my weapons, and something went wrong in an unexpected place.
However, this group of people is quite powerful and they were the first to find this place.
Gong Qiying recognized their strength.
The design of the middle area requires defeating elite monsters in two places to obtain keys before the stone door leading to the big tree hole can be opened. The strategy team is currently located where one of the keys is located.
The teleportation treasure chest in the sick village will teleport people into a trap. If you are lucky enough to escape from the trap, you will come to the middle area. For people with strength, it is a shortcut because the location of the trap is relatively close to the location of the double-bladed white ape.
In fact, the placement of the teleportation treasure chests in the entire dungeon is very particular. There must be traps nearby. If you pass the traps successfully, you can find clues to pass the current area or props and other rewards.
Of course, the locations of these rewards are relatively hidden, and it is impossible to find them unless you are a picture-crazy fanatic or have a little luck.
"Laugh, you can only laugh now," Gong Qiying also showed a sinister smile.
He never said that the elite monster guarding the key was only as powerful as the Dual-Blade White Ape.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak!!!”
Seeing the white ape being killed, the monkeys became furious and their shouting was like the sound of a devil filling their ears, making people extremely irritated.
After a few rustling sounds, three or four white apes with double swords jumped down from the treetops, glaring at the strategy group with murderous intent. The ordinary monkeys also found a sword from somewhere and surrounded them, ready to rush over.
"Humph, a beast is a beast,"
Drew snorted coldly, and the magic that had been accumulating for a long time finally found the opportunity to be released. He raised his left hand, and a round ice ball suddenly rose to the sky. The temperature dropped sharply, and even snowflakes began to float. A layer of frost slowly formed on the ground.
When a monkey roared and rushed over, a miniature ice storm formed instantly, freezing it completely into an ice sculpture. The storm then circled around everyone, forming an unbreakable line of defense.
[Intermediate Ice Magic - Storm Ice Prison]
It can be used to trap enemies and protect yourself at the same time. The ice storm will move with the user.
Just as everyone was about to start the final battle with the monkeys, Malu suddenly pointed somewhere and said, "Everyone, look, there's a purple light!"
I saw a purple light faintly falling among the dense vines in the deepest part of the tree arena. The vines like a waterfall hung down from the towering trees, making it impossible to tell what was hidden behind them. But the purple light was lying there clearly, exuding a fatal attraction.
A white ape with two swords noticed their intention and immediately rushed towards the purple light, trying to snatch it away before them.
This was a scene deliberately designed by Gong Qiying. Normally, monsters would not have any interest in the light spots.
"Maloo!"
"I know!"
Malu arched her body and shot out like an arrow. Not only did she grab the purple light spot first, she also kicked the white ape with two swords away.
"Let me see what this treasure is,"
It was a golden ring, finely crafted.
The moment she got the ring, a message appeared in her mind.
【Love Ring·Imitation】
[Slightly improve vitality and endurance]
[Can also be used to open a certain door]
Before Malu had time to be happy, she suddenly heard a strange sound coming from behind the vine waterfall, like... heavy breathing?
But with such a loud breathing sound, the owner must be a very large creature, right?
She subconsciously raised her head and met the eyes of a huge creature hiding behind the vines.
This foul smell that hits my nose directly must mean that there must be a monkey hiding in there.
“But this is too big.”
“Ahhhhhhh——”
The lion ape roared.
