——(POV Li Huang)——
After Hu Anjing introduced me to the giant giant ape, we continued killing giant apes for half an hour until we got to the place Hu Anjing last saw the giant giant apes.
'I can't think about the situation without thinking about this stupid name.' I was struggling internally while I was pressing on my temples.
"This was the place that I fought one giant giant ape last time." Hu Anjing pointed out while we were hiding behind a boulder.
'She says as if the destruction in the vicinity is not evident that the fight happened here.' The trees were uprooted and chunks of the mountain's surface were scattered in the surrounding. the boulder that we were behind was one such example.
'At least she didn't underestimate the beast and used her full power…' I was thinking that maybe the ape jump-scared her for her to have this reaction.
Ye Ling was also looking at the destruction and was awed by it. The power of someone who is at the peak of the twelfth stage of Meridian formation is not something to trifle with.
"Amazing…" Ye Ling muttered subconsciously.
I just nodded a little. This isn't something that is easy to achieve so it deserves getting recognition.
"Do you know the location of their lair?" I asked Hu Anjing. If we know where they live, we can easily eliminate them all.
"No, at that time I was going to find others fast so I didn't put much time on it but I did see a couple of them so I know they live nearby…" She said a little apologetic.
"It's okay. Now we will wait for them to pass by so that we find their lair, right?" I knew deep down that she has taken this position as the leader because I told her to do so, so being understanding toward her is the least I can do.
"That is a good plan." Hu Anjing said and Ye Ling also nodded.
"Good, let's put a small distance between each other so that we can find them easier." I told them and everyone was in agreement with my plan.
~'Send a sound transmission if you find anything…'~ I told them and waited in ambush.
…
~'I have found two of them, I think…'~ Ye Ling's sound was heard by us after half an hour of waiting.
~'I am coming toward your location.'~ I answered to her voice.
~'I'm on my way too.'~ Hu Anjing also answered.
A minute later we were at the location that Ye Ling was hiding but as she was tailing the beasts, she wasn't there so we used our Qi sense to locate her and a minute later we were beside her following these giant giant apes.
'Now I get why Hu Anjing is calling them giant giant apes, they are really giant!' They looked like the extra-large version of the giant apes that we had eliminated and their height was about 30 meters (A/N: ~100 ft).
…
One more hour passed and luckily for us, the giant giant apes finally decided to get back to their lair and stop moving around aimlessly.
'aimless to me at least...' I thought.
The lair was a dome-shaped cave that housed at least two hundred of these giants so you can imagine how massive it is!
Luckily each of us could handle ten of them if we go all out so there was nothing to worry about as they are big and we can move between them easily.
"What is the plan?" Ye Ling asked us.
Hu Anjing grinned and looked at me.
"We will blast their faces!" I grinned back at her and said.
Ye Ling was stunned by the simplicity of our plan but me and Anjing were already rushing the giant giant apes.
The first ape that discovered me tried to pummel me with his fist. But as I was faster than him I stopped at the right moment and his fist passed inches away from my face and hit the ground in front of me.
Without wasting any time, I jumped on his hand and moved on his arm, in a fraction of a second, I was on his shoulder. With a swift move of my sword, the beast was decapitated.
Before the blood could splash on my robes I jumped to the shoulder of the next unsuspecting giant giant ape and took his life too.
Continuing with my actions, six more beasts were slain by me in the next minute. I was satisfied with my efficiency and looked around to see how Hu Anjing and Ye Ling were doing.
Ye Ling was creating deep wounds on their legs and hands in order to make them unable to move and then she would stab her sword through their eye socket and into their brains.
This method was slower than mine but needed less energy overall as I had to decapitate them in a swing but she didn't.
*Boom*
A loud sound made me come out of my thoughts and I hurriedly look at the origin of the sound to see if anything has happened to Hu Anjing, but the scene that I saw made me unable to say anything.
Hu Anjing threw a 30-meter beast over her shoulder and the poor beast got face planted into the ground and narrowly missed death as his spine nearly broke because of the impact. But Hu Anjing come toward the beast and finished the beast soon after so there was no salvation for the beast.
'Well, god damn.' That was all I could think of after seeing this move by Hu Anjing.
Now that I was sure that everyone was safe and sound, I continued my work to gather more points as I clearly needed them more than others.
Locating five new beasts coming this way I rushed at them. Seeing me on the ground they tried to stump me with their feet but I dodged and slashed at their Achilles tendons one after another, this resulted in their legs becoming useless and they dropped to their knees one by one.
Now that they have lost one-third of their heights I just jumped to each of them easily and stabbed them through the mouth to kill them faster as their internals didn't have the same resistance that their skin and fur had.
Looking at the horde of tens of giant giant apes that were rushing to our location to avenge their brethren, I know that we still had a long way to go until we are done with this lair.
