Chapter 136 The Poisonous Prophecy Arrives!
"What do you think, Xiao Xue?" Xia Yan's voice drifted over.
"This group of savages is clearly hunting. Joining the battle right now isn't the best choice," Han Jiangxue said. "Observe the situation carefully, be alert to your surroundings, and wait for my command to enter the battlefield."
"Roger."
"Roger." Xia Yan and Li Weiyi echoed. In their sight, two more men wielding stone knives crawled out of the bushes. Their eyes gleamed with ferocity as the three of them approached the Ape-Ghost step by step.
The Ape-Ghost slammed its hands fiercely on the ground, its ferocity erupting as it roared and charged forward.
*嗖!* *嗖!* *嗖!* (Sound of arrows)
A dozen or so female savages, hidden on the periphery, either stood or knelt, drawing their longbows into full moons. One after another, sharp arrows shot out with a *嗖* sound.
These arrows were no ordinary projectiles. The wooden arrowheads were tinged with a faint purple glow.
The books said that the Ape-Ghost's defense was strong. Perhaps its fur was easily damaged, but its steel-like bones were difficult to pierce.
However, several arrows accurately struck the Ape-Ghost, sinking deep into its flesh, and the faint purple glow spread.
The scene was bloody, yet tinged with a strange and fantastical color, with a rather bizarre style.
What followed was the Ape-Ghost's furious roar. Its target never wavered. Even with arrows sticking out of its body and suffering injuries, it still plunged headlong into the group of knife-wielding men.
An even bloodier scene unfolded. The knife-wielding man targeted by the Ape-Ghost was directly smashed to death by its strong arms!
The knife-wielding man not only died on the spot, but under the Ape-Ghost's furious assault, his body was smashed into two pieces.
If the Ape-Ghost had more time, Jiang Xiao believed that the corpse would be smashed into a pulp.
Such a bloody scene was truly terrifying, but the remaining two knife-wielding men showed no fear. As if they didn't see their companion's death, they brandished their stone knives, frantically hacking at the berserk Ape-Ghost.
The meter-long stone knives also carried a faint purple glow.
Jiang Xiao knew that it was their unique Star Technique: Hatred.
The Ape-Ghost directly tore off the corpse's head with one large hand, cracking it open like an egg, and swallowed it along with the blood and flesh.
*Is it eating the Star Bead?*
Arrows continued to fly rapidly towards the Ape-Ghost, and the two knife-wielding men did not retreat either, swinging their stone knives and constantly hacking at the Ape-Ghost's body.
Whether it was that the knives and arrows weren't sharp enough, or their strength was insufficient, or the Ape-Ghost's defense was extremely strong, the Ape-Ghost did not die in a short period of time.
The berserk Ape-Ghost once again grabbed a savage knife-wielding man. During the time the Ape-Ghost and the knife-wielding man wrestled and tore at each other, its body was already covered in arrows.
Jiang Xiao originally thought that the Ape-Ghost was going to kill another savage knife-wielding man, but the development of the matter exceeded his expectations.
The fierce beast Ape-Ghost, which Jiang Xiao believed to be infinitely powerful and whose strength attribute was several levels above the knife-wielding man, actually lost to the savage knife-wielding man in wrestling?
No, in terms of physical attributes, the savage was definitely not a match for the Ape-Ghost. The two creatures were not on the same level at all. Then, the only possible reason for this scene was the Star Techniques of the savage knife-wielding men and female archers.
"Roar!" The Ape-Ghost roared to the sky, its body suddenly flashing with silver light, and its pair of brown-black eyes turned scarlet. Having just fought the knife-wielding man to a draw, it regained the advantage.
Such a battle was truly full of twists and turns, and the constant reversals amazed Jiang Xiao.
*This should be the Ape-Ghost's Star Technique: Berserk.*
Xia Yan also had this Star Technique. She once said to Jiang Xiao, "You won't want to see this Star Technique. If I ever use this Star Technique one day, I hope you can wake me up."
Although Xia Yan had never used this Star Technique in front of Jiang Xiao, Jiang Xiao had finally witnessed the so-called Berserk.
As the name suggests, it was indeed crazy and violent.
The Ape-Ghost seemed to have inexhaustible strength, its movement speed suddenly increased, and its power was extremely strong.
It kicked away another knife-wielding man and tore at the knife-wielding man in its hand, rushing quickly towards the group of female archers in the deep forest.
And the scattered arrows never stopped.
Dots of purple light continued to spread over the Ape-Ghost's body. Jiang Xiao originally thought he would see a slaughter feast, but unexpectedly, things turned around again.
The Ape-Ghost wasn't impressive for more than a few seconds. Apart from the first few moves being particularly outstanding, the Ape-Ghost's movements slowed down again in the process of running under the rain of arrows.
Its bloody body was in a terrible state. Its entire body was riddled with arrows. The corpse it was carrying in its hand also slipped to the ground. Its running movements slowly turned into a trot, and then into a walk.
Finally, the Ape-Ghost's walking pace gradually faltered, moving step by step with difficulty, uttering cries of sorrow. Its huge body fell to the ground with a thud, like a mountain of gold collapsing or a jade pillar falling, and collapsed at the feet of a female archer.
In the end, it still failed to kill those annoying flies.
Did the savages really win this battle?
The savage camp paid the price of two knife-wielding men, and another knife-wielding man was seriously injured. It was unknown whether he could be healed.
But there was only one Ape-Ghost. Was it enough to fill the teeth of this group of savages?
The Ape-Ghost was also a gregarious creature. What if it wasn't alone? What if there were two Ape-Ghosts? What if there was a group?
Jiang Xiao once again saw a cruel scene. This group of female archers did not choose to help up the seriously injured knife-wielding man, but instead cleanly tore his throat.
A former companion seemed to have become a burden to the team, or... could become food?
The books said that savages rarely preyed on their own kind. They should not actively attack their own kind, but if it was a corpse, they should not waste this food resource.
The bushes beside the female archers swayed. Were there still people hiding?
Three savage men and women got up and quickly went to pick up the corpses, seemingly treating the corpses as a kind of food, and carried them on their shoulders.
These three savages didn't have any weapons in their hands. Their clothes were ragged. They seemed to be from the lower class, the kind who did hard labor.
However, it was also fortunate that these three savages didn't become cannon fodder.
And that group of female archers also separated a few people to surround the already dead Ape-Ghost.
Han Jiangxue's eyes narrowed. She seemed to see the female archers showing signs of vigilance, and hurriedly said, "Go!"
Eleven Silver-level female archers, three Bronze-level savages. Should they really engage this combination?
While Jiang Xiao was still thinking, Xia Yan and Li Weiyi had already rushed up subconsciously.
Xia Shiqi was one thing. Hearing his master's order, his body naturally reacted.
But what's up with you, Li Weiyi?
Xia Yan swung her knife horizontally, and an arc of flame rushed out, heading straight for the three female archers who were surrounding the Ape-Ghost to collect arrows.
And after Xia Yan's arc of flame was thrown out, Li Weiyi directly erected a black shield. The two melee fighters rushed forward quickly, but they heard arrows hitting the black shield, making crackling sounds.
*Too scary!*
A moment of carelessness could easily lead to death on the spot!
This group of female archers reacted extremely quickly, and began to draw their bows and shoot arrows at the attackers the moment the anomaly occurred.
Han Jiangxue spread out her hands, and whirlwinds suddenly rose under the feet of two female archers. They screamed and were directly blown into the air.
A flurry of activity, a flurry of wild gestures.
*唰, 唰, 唰.* (Sound of wind)
Han Jiangxue's slender fingers kept flicking, and whirlwinds rose under the feet of the female archers who were drawing their bows and shooting arrows.
*Waste Wind* was simply too strong.
Xia Yan dragged her giant blade and shouted loudly, "2."
The black shield in Li Weiyi's hand disappeared instantly. Xia Yan's figure darted out, her body rotating in the air, narrowly dodging an arrow, and the long blade directly pierced into a female archer's chest.
Like skewering candied haws, she was directly stabbed into the giant tree behind her by Xia Yan.
"Silver First Kill, Skill Point +1."
Xia Yan stepped on the female archer's waist, and with a fierce yank of her right hand, she pulled out the blade that had pierced into the female archer's body and the giant tree. Looking at the several female archers in the sky, she stretched out one hand and threw out a fireball.
*This should be what she means by "not having long enough arms," right?*
Li Weiyi held up his black shield and continued to move closer to Xia Yan. After the fifth female archer was thrown into the sky by Han Jiangxue, the two female archers at the top seemed to have reacted.
Their physical qualities were very strong. After a brief panic, they quickly adapted and actually regained their balance in the air, drawing their bows and shooting arrows?
Xia Yan was startled. Before Li Weiyi could arrive, she wielded her blade so tightly that no wind could pass through, knocking down the arrows.
"Ah~" A sharp but seductive female voice suddenly rang out, appearing on Li Weiyi's right side.
Li Weiyi's body trembled, and he almost didn't hold the shield steady.
*He knew...*
*The Poisonous Milk has arrived!*
