Chapter 370: Chapter 370: Chimpanzee (Third Update)
Zhi Ruo hesitated for a moment, then said to her junior sisters:
"What does everyone think?"
"Sister, it’s not easy to come here, and it’s still early. According to the speed we came, it only takes 2 hours to rush back to the Genetic Store. Even if we set aside 3 hours, we can still hunt for over an hour. We won’t go deep into the canyon, just walk forward a bit. There shouldn’t be any danger."
The other junior sisters nodded in agreement.
Zhi Ruo then said to Yang Xiao:
"Master Yang, how about we hunt for another hour, setting aside three hours to return? There shouldn’t be any problem."
Seeing everyone insisting, Yang Xiao couldn’t say much and said:
"Alright, let’s hunt for another hour, everyone be careful."
Thus, everyone continued advancing into the canyon.
Along the way, they hunted ten mutant antelopes, a group of watermelon-sized ants, two five-meter-long lizards, and obtained over a hundred Multi-gene Balls, unknowingly going about one thousand meters deeper into the canyon.
Yang Xiao noticed that the canyon seemed to have no end in sight, and in the distance, he could faintly see a forest.
"Okay, that’s about enough, we should head back now."
Yang Xiao reminded.
Zhi Ruo nodded her head.
One of the junior sisters laughed:
"Master Yang, why are you so cautious today? We still have plenty of time."
Yang Xiao smiled and said:
"Little sister, caution helps one sail the sea for ten thousand years. Don’t be too greedy and capsize. We have gained enough today, we can come again tomorrow."
Zhi Ruo said:
"Master Yang is right, we should go back now, everyone, let’s head back."
Thus, everyone followed the same route back.
On the way back, they still encountered some mutant monsters, especially those watermelon-sized fire ants, which were surprisingly numerous, appearing every few meters.
With the abilities of the Emei Sect’s female disciples, dealing with a single fire ant was not difficult, and each time they killed one, they could get 2 to 3 Genetic Balls, which made everyone very excited.
It can be said that hunting fire ants was the most economical, taking little time and yielding high gains.
While walking, they continued searching for fire ants in the bushes, stopping and starting, and in more than half an hour, they had only walked less than a thousand meters, still more than a thousand meters away from the canyon exit.
Suddenly, a roar came from ahead.
"Roar!"
The loud roar made Yang Xiao and the others tremble inside, and they looked up in horror, only to see a ten-meter-tall black monster standing hundreds of meters away.
Holy shit, what is that?
Yang Xiao was startled, and immediately shouted:
"Everyone be careful, on guard!"
Zhi Ruo and the others immediately gathered together, looking at the distant tall dark figure.
"What is that?"
"I don’t know."
"Who cares what it is, it’s just a mutant monster. Let’s all go together and be careful."
Yang Xiao finished speaking, drew his bow and arrow, and led everyone forward.
The distant tall dark figure stood like a steel tower among the wild grass, its eyes fixed on Yang Xiao and the others.
When they were about a hundred meters away from the tall dark figure, Yang Xiao and the others stopped, their hearts trembling.
That dark figure turned out to be a giant black gorilla!
A black gorilla? How could there be a black gorilla here?
"Yang Xiao, what should we do?"
"What else can we do, kill it and then see."
Yang Xiao had also killed camels dozens of meters high, so why would he be afraid of a gorilla?
After saying this, Yang Xiao’s Golden Eagle Bow in his hand hummed, shooting a Fire Element Arrow at the black gorilla ahead.
The Elemental Magic Arrow whistled through the air and around 3 meters in front of the gorilla, it snapped and split into ten arrows, bursting towards the gorilla.
Suddenly, a buzzing sound emerged and a gray transparent Defense Light Screen appeared in front of the gorilla, blocking the ten Arrow Shadows.
With a loud boom, the Fire Element Arrows exploded, but the gray Defense Light Screen merely vibrated slightly, remaining unharmed.
Yang Xiao was surprised, this creature’s level wasn’t low; it must be at least at the Advanced Enhanced Gene level.
"Zhi Ruo, I will shoot ten arrows continuously, and then everyone will go up together."
"Okay!"
Thus, Yang Xiao continuously shot ten Fire Element Arrows from his Golden Eagle Bow, one after another, all exploding in front of the black gorilla. However, the gorilla didn’t move, standing exceedingly calmly as the gray Defense Light Screen blocked everything, seemingly unbothered by Yang Xiao’s Elemental Arrows at all.
Yang Xiao took out his Longquan Spear and spurred his horse forward, charging directly.
Zhi Ruo, followed by six junior sisters, blinked like swallows, reaching the gorilla swiftly.
The Longquan Spear turned into a giant snake, pouncing at the gorilla.
"Damn it, stop your pretense!"
Yang Xiao felt very annoyed by the gorilla’s unusual calmness; it was not a demeanor a Mutant Monster should have, it was freaking human-like, which was very creepy.
The gray Defense Light Screen stood in front of the gorilla as Zhi Ruo and others flashed by, flying over the gorilla’s head.
Zhi Ruo’s blue Longsword slashed at the gorilla’s head, emitting a three-meter-long Sword Qi which pierced through the void with a hiss.
The other six junior sisters also unleashed Sword Qi, stabbing from the sides and back of the gorilla.
The seven sharp Sword Qi, along with Yang Xiao’s Longquan Spear, left the high-level Enhanced Gene gorilla with no escape but death.
However, in an instant, the gray Defense Light Screen in front of the gorilla turned into a hemispherical Defense Light Screen, enveloping its entire body.
With a pop,
Zhi Ruo’s Sword Qi slashed onto the Defense Light Screen.
At the same time, the Sword Qis from the six junior sisters also stabbed into the Defense Light Screen.
The Defense Light Screen vibrated violently, and on the impacted spots, seven centimeters-long cracks appeared on it.
However, Yang Xiao’s Longquan Spear, now a giant snake, bit into the light screen without causing any damage.
Everyone was shocked!
Especially Zhi Ruo and others; according to their usual experience, even though they are only at the Advanced Primordial Gene Realm, the Sword Qi stimulated by the Emei Sect’s Ancient Martial Arts should be enough to pierce through the Defensive Light Screen of a high-level Enhanced Gene Monster unless...
Zhi Ruo and others felt a chill in their heart.
Zhi Ruo gritted her teeth and yelled,
"Kill!"
The seven women flipped their Longswords and stabbed at the gorilla’s Defense Light Screen with even more force than before.
This time, the blows were even stronger.
Yang Xiao looked up, saw a slight surprise in the gorilla’s expression inside the transparent gray Light Screen, and without further thought, retracted his Longquan Spear, took out a Longsword from his Space Ring, and applied the Earth Ninth Level Golden Bee Sword Skill, directly stabbing ten Sword Shadows towards it.
Yang Xiao and the gorilla faced each other, only a transparent gray Light Screen separated them. The gorilla was ten meters tall; Yang Xiao had to look up to see some of its expressions.
Hiss!
This time, the Sword Qi from the seven stabbed into the Light Screen but, everyone’s Sword Qi could only penetrate less than half a meter into the screen before they could no longer push through, as if encountering a substantial resistance.
On the Light Screen, dozens of cracks began to spread.
Yang Xiao yelled, and the ten Sword Shadows stabbed onto the Defense Light Screen.
The Defense Light Screen, already bearing dozens of cracks and barely unshattered, could not withstand Yang Xiao’s strikes anymore.
With a crack,
The gorilla’s Defense Light Screen shattered.
Before Yang Xiao and others could celebrate, they heard the gorilla roar angrily, and then, everyone felt a powerful force lifting their bodies off the ground and flying backwards.
