Although the light in their mouths was faint, it was still visible. The dozen or so Giant Apes seemed to know some basic cultivation. Xiao Chen was really surprised. He couldn't help but think of the human world's legends about monsters. Weren't monsters cultivated by consuming the essence of the sun and the moon?
Among the dozen or so Giant Apes, the Four-armed Bloody Giant Ape was the most mystical. The moonlight in its mouth formed into a light ball that flickered in and out of view, and all its crimson fur seemed to sparkle, indicating that it was spiritually aware and had acquired a certain level of cultivation!
In the following two days, these dozen or so Giant Apes would come over to enjoy their evening meals. Of course, they could not get enough to eat because their appetites were simply too large, so they could only savor the taste.
"Roar…" A tiger's roar came from the distant forest, but then abruptly stopped. Not long after, several swift beast figures leaped into view. The Four-armed Bloody Giant Ape held in its hand a Saber-Toothed Tiger over three meters long and jumped to Xiao Chen's side.
Xiao Chen felt a shiver in his heart, the Giant Ape really was strong. The Saber-Toothed Tiger was killed in one hit, with its entire skull shattered. This showed how terrifying the Four-armed Giant Ape's power was.
When the Giant Apes were gone, Xiao Chen continued to practice the Qi Refining Technique, treating his injuries. Time was of the essence, and he had to quickly recover his Yuan Qi.
Oddly enough, he had not seen any sign of the Little Unicorn Sacred Beast for two days, as if it had disappeared. Xiao Chen was a little worried about it, fearing something had happened to it. After all, the island was too mysterious and dangerous.
Not until another day passed did the Little Unicorn Sacred Beast reappear, allaying his worries. The Little Sky Horse seemed timid yet curious, running off at the slightest rustle and, apart from coming to share in Heaven and Earth's Vital Energy during cultivation, it had a habit of sneaking peeks at Xiao Chen, like a curious child.
Three days passed, and Xiao Chen's recovery was going smoothly. But on this night, Xiao Chen encountered danger, as Zhao Lin'er finally showed up! The Royal Celestial Maiden broke through the Ancient Beast Tyrannosaurus's blockade and tracked down Xiao Chen. This time, she was determined not to fail again and resolved to finish him off once and for all.
With her graceful walk and delicate movements, in the moonlight reflection on the water, in the Primitive Old Forest, she was truly peerless in charm! The entire forest seemed to light up at her arrival. Coupled with the frightening animal roars around her, it made her appear so refined and noble, as if a fairy from heaven had descended onto this Primitive Island.
For all her radiant beauty and allure that could bring down cities and nations, Xiao Chen had no heart for appreciation. To him, she was a female Death God!
Xiao Chen didn't immediately run away. Instead, he calmly retreated to the Giant Apes' territory.
While a dozen Giant Apes were busy drawing in the moonlight, they saw Xiao Chen enter their territory but didn't show any aggression. In the several days since Xiao Chen had started sharing their meals, they had accepted him as a neighbor.
Zhao Lin'er carried the Divine Sword and pursued him with calmness and determination. But when she arrived at the Chaotic Stone Forest, she suddenly stopped in her tracks. The dozen Giant Apes stood among the stones, their enormous shapes casting a dozen massive shadows in the moonlight.
Simultaneously, they were absorbing and exhaling the beams of the moonlight, a clear sign that these were spiritually awakened Otherworldly Beasts.
Zhao Lin'er hesitated. Even though she knew how dangerous these alien species were, she didn't want to waste the chance to kill Xiao Chen now that she had finally found him. She felt that the more time passed, the more it played into his favor. She couldn't let him continue to recover.
Her feet danced to the beat of the Floating Light Shadowy Illusory Step, and she rushed into the stone forest. Displaying the Rainbow Sword Skill, a curtain of colorful light rose in the night sky.
"Roar"
Just as the middle Bloody Giant Ape let out an intimidating roar, soft moonlight circled its body, giving it an eerie and terrifying appearance! The towering figure rushed forward like a gust of wind. Its nearly two-meter-long claw let out a "jingling" sound as it clashed with the colorful light, and sparks flew from the Longsword.
The Royal Celestial Maiden's heart missed a beat. This Four-armed Ape was incredibly powerful and seemed indestructible!
After one blow, Zhao Lin'er realized how terrifying the Giant Ape was. Without hesitation, she turned to escape, but demonic shadows moved rapidly to her surrounding, blocking her way. Huge shadows as fast as ghosts and spirits!
"Roar…" The roars of the Giant Apes echoed continuously, and in the moonlit night, their shadows seemed alive and kicking.
Xiao Chen watched quietly from a distance, without uttering a word. The fact that the Giant Apes were spiritually awakened was within his expectations, but he didn't expect that they would be so "loyal," as they trapped Zhao Lin'er just like that.
The Royal Celestial Maiden looked deeply worried at this point. She attempted to break through, her Cultivation Level reaching its limit. Her body seemed to transform into a colorful light, swirling through the Stone Forest.
"Puff"
Blood splashed. A splendid rainbow-pierced the chest of a Giant Ape. Zhao Lin'er's Rainbow Sword Skill, a famous Heaven Skill Treasure Book, was extremely powerful. The rainbow's light instantly tore the Giant Ape's body apart.
With a burst of new confidence, Zhao Lin'er realised that besides the Four-armed Bloody Giant Ape, the bodies of the other Giant Apes were not impervious to weapons, even though their claws were as hard as iron.
"Roar!"
The Four-armed Bloody Giant Ape roared in grief, furiously attacking Zhao Lin'er. The colorful beams of light struck its body, making a ringing sound and sparking from where they hit. Its blood-red fur shimmered wonderfully in the moonlight. Obviously, the Giant Ape leader was enraged, its eyes filled with endless hatred, vowing to rip Zhao Lin'er apart.
Even with Zhao Lin'er's cultivation, she might be able to evenly match this spiritually awakened Otherworldly Beast, but there were a dozen more Giant Apes surrounding her. It was a perilous situation. Just then, Xiao Chen also charged in. There was no time for any kind of talk now, only strength would be the decisive factor!
"Tear"
One of Zhao Lin'er's sleeved dress was torn to shreds by a Giant Ape revealing a jade-like slender arm. At the same time, the enraged Bloody Giant Ape seized Zhao Lin'er's Longsword and snapped it in two with its giant claw!
Xiao Chen attacked at this moment. He always believed that the strongest weapon was the body itself. Discarding his Iron Sword, his hands moved quickly, tracing out a series of mysterious paths. He summoned a bright curtain of light that covered Zhao Lin'er.
