Chapter 39 Everything
On the right side of the monkey troop, Hu Lin'er and Tang Chen were also launching a strong offensive.
Hu Lin'er's twin-tailed fox charm spread out, but she deliberately avoided Tang Chen, so that he would not be affected.
Hu Lin'er's allure was so powerful that even those with weak willpower would find it difficult to break free and become mentally impaired, losing their ability to attack. How much more so for these simple-minded human ancestors?
A group of monkeys stood there at attention, controlled by Tang Chen. With a single blow from his hammer, the monkeys vanished from the beautiful illusion.
The alpha male at the back of the troop clearly couldn't stay any longer and jumped out from behind.
Seeing their leader emerge, the monkeys immediately calmed down and retreated slowly in unison.
This monkey king was more than twice as strong as the other monkeys, its body as massive and imposing as a small hill. Its muscles were clearly defined, seemingly containing boundless power. Its thick limbs were as solid and powerful as giant tree trunks, every muscle fiber clearly visible, brimming with explosive force and tension. The width of these limbs was comparable to the smaller monkey's body, a testament to its astonishing strength. When the monkey king walked, the ground trembled slightly due to its weight, as if the earth itself feared its majesty.
“The Crimson Demon Stone Monkey King, eight thousand years old!” Fang Ya said from behind the crowd.
Qian Yuhan, Tang Xuan, Tang Chen, and Hu Lin'er all retreated upon seeing the monkey king appear behind the troop, ceasing their attack. They were unsure of the monkey king's strength, and if they charged directly at Mu Chen, they didn't know if Mu Chen's second soul skill could withstand it. If he couldn't, given the monkey king's current level of rage, he would likely lose both of his lives here.
Therefore, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, and just in case, a conservative strategy was adopted – to retreat and fight the enemy together!
Looking at Qian Yuhan and his three companions who had entered battle mode, and then at the badly injured monkeys and their offspring behind him...
The Crimson Demon Stone Monkey King roared to the sky, its eyes turning blood red, and its body radiating red blood energy.
"It's the Crimson Demon Stone Monkey King's bloodthirsty ability. When the Crimson Demon Stone Monkey reaches about five thousand years, its strength will undergo a transformation, and it will comprehend a strengthening skill called 'Bloodthirst'. Starting from five thousand years, the color of the Crimson Demon Stone Monkey's fur will gradually darken, and when it reaches ten thousand years, it will become a deep red all over! More than half of the fur on this Stone Monkey King's head has turned deep red, proving that its cultivation is about eight thousand years."
Mu Chen stared blankly at Fang Ya, whom he was protecting, and couldn't help but want to protect her even more. This girl was simply a know-it-all!
The other four secretly admired Fang Ya's erudition, but they couldn't turn around to praise her now, because if they did, the Stone Monkey King would attack.
A deep and ferocious roar suddenly rang out, like muffled thunder, echoing for miles around. This roar seemed to come from a giant beast from the abyss, carrying boundless pressure and majesty, inspiring fear in all who heard it.
As the roar rang out, countless birds in the surrounding woods were startled and scattered in panic, seemingly frightened by the sudden sound.
Meanwhile, in various corners of the Spirit Hall Academy, members of other groups also heard the roar. They stopped what they were doing, their faces showing surprise and vigilance.
Some began to speculate about the source of the roar. Some said it was a warning from a powerful soul beast, while others believed it was a mysterious powerhouse displaying its strength. However, no one knew the real answer; they could only speculate in their hearts…
The Crimson Demon Stone Monkey King pounded his chest and charged towards Qian Yuhan and the others.
"First Soul Skill: Light Slash!" Qian Yuhan's first yellow soul ring flashed, and the sword energy struck the Crimson Demon Stone Monkey King, but it only slowed down its attack.
"Fox Domain, activate!" Hu Lin'er released the Fox Domain, but it seemed to have no effect on the Crimson Demon Stone Monkey King, who was in a bloodthirsty state.
Upon seeing this, Fang Ya suddenly remembered something and quickly reminded him, "Don't release the Demon Fox Domain anymore. It consumes a lot of your soul power, and it won't work on the Stone Monkey King who is in a bloodthirsty state. The bloodthirsty state not only strengthens your physical strength but also makes you immune to all weakening and control-related abnormal states!"
"okay."
Hearing Fang Ya's reminder, Hu Lin'er quickly ended her Fox Demon Domain. Then, her first spirit ring flashed.
"First Soul Skill: Fox Tail Needle!"
Hu Lin'er activated her first soul skill, Fox Tail Needle, and the Crimson Demon Stone Monkey King directly took the needle head-on. He shook his head to the sides to deflect the attack. Of course, the Stone Monkey King's head was already injured, but his bloodlust temporarily numb his pain, so he continued to attack the group.
Upon seeing this, Qian Yuhan's third purple soul ring lit up beneath her feet.
"Guardian of Light!"
Qian Yuhan activated her third soul skill, forming a humanoid figure of light and shadow behind everyone, embracing them in her arms. Her body radiated light.
The Crimson Demon Stone Monkey King crashed into the humanoid phantom, and was immediately thrown back. His Bloodlust skill then ended, leaving him weak and exhausted. Combined with the damage he had sustained while in Bloodlust, the pain was released in an instant, and the unbearable Stone Monkey King collapsed to the ground.
After Qian Yuhan finished casting her skill, Mu Chen, who had been protecting Fang Ya the whole time, seemed to be brimming with fighting spirit. He'd been itching to take advantage of Fang Ya, and now was the perfect opportunity to bully this weak eight-thousand-year-old soul beast…
Seeing Mu Chen gathering his strength to unleash his first soul skill, Qian Yuhan knew that Mu Chen's attack was enough to deliver a fatal blow to the Stone Monkey King.
Just as Qian Yuhan was about to tell Mu Chen to stop, Mu Chen unleashed his Golden Crocodile Tail Sweep.
Sigh! This third brother…
The stone monkey king lying there seemed to sense that he could not escape death, so he closed his eyes and gave up resisting.
The Stone Monkey King had his eyes closed, and all he could see was darkness. Suddenly, a light shone through the darkness, followed by a powerful whooshing sound as it cut through the air.
The Stone Monkey King slowly opened his eyes, looking at Qian Yuhan standing in front of him, somewhat bewildered.
Not only it, but Mu Chen and the others also failed to react.
The wind blew the leaves slowly down from the sky, and we stood there dumbfounded for about twenty seconds.
"Fourth brother... what's going on?"
"Third Brother, don't kill him. Didn't you feel it? They seem to be fleeing for their lives. That's why they were so hostile when they met us head-on. Think about it, there's something threatening your life chasing you from behind, and there are obstacles in front of you. How can you not fight for your life?"
"Hmm...it seems so."
“Indeed, we did not provoke them, and their behavior is very unusual.”
"That's right. Crimson Demon Stone Monkeys are social creatures and are usually quite gentle. I'm wondering why they're behaving so strangely."
Seeing that everyone seemed to understand his actions, Qian Yuhan turned and squatted down, looking at the stone monkey king, and said:
"Is something chasing you?"
The stone monkey king nodded.
These eight-thousand-year-old soul beasts have actually developed intelligence and can understand human language.
The Stone Monkey King weakly pointed at Qian Yuhan and his group.
"Me, us? What happened to us?"
The Stone Monkey King shook his head.
"A Soul Master? A Soul Master is chasing you?" Qian Yuhan immediately realized.
This time, the Stone Monkey King nodded to indicate that the answer was correct.
"Go, protect your people. I understand your actions in order to escape... Go—"
After Qian Yuhan finished speaking, she took out a bottle of healing pills from the Cold Heart Dragon God Golden Bracelet, took out one pill, and handed it to the Stone Monkey King:
"This is a healing pill. Your injuries are all superficial and fleshy. After taking it, they will be mostly healed."
The Stone Monkey King hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind to eat the pill.
Qian Yuhan: Hesitation is normal; who knows if this pill is poisonous?
After eating, the Stone Monkey King discovered that his wounds were healing rapidly, and he was overjoyed.
That's how monkey-type spirit beasts are; they can be sad just as quickly as they can be happy.
"Take these and distribute them to your injured tribesmen. We were only trying to protect ourselves, not to hurt you on purpose."
The Stone Monkey King nodded, picked up the bottle, walked behind him, and led his people into a shadowy area where they disappeared.
“Let’s go…” Qian Yuhan said to the other five.
Mu Chen had clearly seen the appearance of the pill and was looking at Fang Ya. Fang Ya seemed to have also seen what the pill was, and when she looked up and met Mu Chen's questioning gaze, she nodded at him.
Mu Chen looked at Qian Yuhan, swallowed non-existent saliva, and asked, "Fourth brother, your pill... it wouldn't happen to be a top-grade Profound Spirit Pill, would it...?"
