Hearing his words, Ye Li said: "Since I already know where this Five Elements Divine Ape is, then I will go meet him. If I can subdue this Five Elements Divine Ape, I will be of some use."
Hearing Ye Li's words, Ma Wenqing rolled over and kowtowed, saying: "Thank you for your help... Thank you for your help!!!"
After knowing that Ye Li was willing to help, Ma Wenqing's heart was filled with joy. If Ye Li could help, their Ma family would be safe.
Ye Li waved his hand and said, "Release the people of the Sand Sea Clan immediately, and then lead the way for me to find the Five Elements Divine Ape."
After hearing Ye Li's words, Ma Wenqing dared not object and hurriedly took Ye Li and Lie Tiangang out of the dungeon.
At this time, the guards at the dungeon entrance had all woken up, but they had always thought that Ye Li's appearance was just their illusion and imagination, so they didn't take it seriously at all.
It was not until Ye Li and Ma Wenqing appeared in front of them that they realized that Ye Li actually existed.
Ma Wenqing glanced at them. He knew that these guards could not stop Ye Li.
Although he didn't know how Ye Li had entered the dungeon quietly, he was very clear that Ye Li's strength might be even stronger than he imagined.
“Hurry up and send a message to the mining area, asking them to release all the people from the Sand Sea Clan and apologize to them.
Their clan leader has become a distinguished guest of our Ma family, so the people of the Shahai clan don’t have to worry about anything, he will be able to return to the clan soon.”
After Ma Wenqing gave some instructions, he took Ye Li and Lie Tiangang out of the dungeon and came to the family's reception room.
"Brother Lie, I will have someone escort you back immediately. I will take you to find the Five Elements Divine Ape."
Ma Wenqing said to Lie Tiangang.
Lie Tiangang nodded and said, "Sir, you just said that you want to enter the Liuyan Sand Dunes. I guess you are planning to go to the place where Master Xuanji went in the past."
Ye Li nodded and said, "That's right. After I have resolved the matter of the Ma family, I will go to the Shahai Clan to find you, senior. When the time comes, please be sure to lead me through the Liuyan Sand Dunes."
Lie Tiangang nodded upon hearing this and said, "It is my honor to be able to help you, sir!!!"
After a few more brief words, Ye Li asked Lie Tiangang to return to the Shahai clan first, while he himself followed Ma Wenqing and headed towards the Earth Rift Valley.
They were moving very fast and it didn't take them long to reach the outskirts of the rift valley.
The Earth Rift Valley is actually a canyon area that looks like there are countless cracks in the ground.
Ma Wenqing led Ye Li through the rift valley and soon arrived at the intersection of a canyon, where there was a huge underground cave entrance.
Ma Wenqing pointed to the huge cave entrance in front and said, "Sir, this is where the Five Elements Divine Ape is hiding. Our Ma family and the monsters under the Five Elements Divine Ape are all inside."
After hearing what Ma Wenqing said, Ye Li thought for a moment and said, "Wait for me here. I'll go in and meet the Five Elements Divine Ape."
Ma Wenqing shook his head and said, "Sir, please let me take you in. The subordinates of the Five Elements Divine Ape all know me.
Just pretend to be from my Ma family and come with me to report the situation, so as not to alert the Five Elements Divine Ape."
Hearing Ma Wenqing's words, Ye Li nodded and said, "This method is not bad. It can save me a lot of effort."
After saying that, Ma Wenqing took the initiative to lead the way and walked with Ye Li towards the underground cave ahead.
As soon as they entered the cave, several ape-like monsters stuck their heads out from behind the rocks in the cave. After seeing Ma Wenqing, they bared their teeth and roared, but had no intention of attacking.
Ma Wenqing ignored the reactions of the monsters and just led Ye Li deeper into the cave.
The underground cave here is very huge, and there are passages everywhere in the cave. If Ma Wenqing hadn't taken the initiative to bring him in, Ye Li estimated that he would have gotten lost quickly.
Ma Wenqing led Ye Li all the way through the cave passage and walked towards the depths of the cave.
They encountered a lot of ape-like monsters along the way, and they all seemed to know Ma Wenqing. Apart from baring their teeth and barking at him a few times, they did not attack him.
Ye Li followed Ma Wenqing and soon arrived at the depths of the cave. A stream of strange fragrance came from the depths of the cave.
This strange fragrance smells like flowers, fruits, and a hint of alcohol. It smells refreshing.
Ma Wenqing took two deep breaths and said, “Sir, this is the taste of that special fruit wine.
If it weren't for the life-threatening situation, I think the children of our Ma family would actually be willing to stay here.
After all, even if they don’t drink, just breathing the smell of this fruit wine every day can help them improve their strength.”
Hearing Ma Wenqing's words, Ye Li nodded. The smell of this fruit wine can indeed improve the strength of low-level talisman masters.
After walking for a while, the surrounding underground space suddenly became more spacious, and a huge cave hall appeared in front of them.
Throughout the underground cave, the rock walls are inlaid with shiny crystals everywhere, so even deep underground, the environment here does not seem dark at all.
Ye Li saw from afar a golden-armored monkey half-lying on a very high stone platform at the bottom of the huge cave hall.
This golden-armored ape is about three or four meters tall, with an extremely strong body and an expression of great wisdom between its brows.
The aroma of wine here is also very strong. The aroma comes from several small holes next to the cave hall. Ye Li can feel the waves of spiritual energy coming from these small holes. It is obvious that the Ma family is in these caves, and the wine pool is also inside.
Ma Wenqing led Ye Li all the way to the golden-armored ape. The golden-armored ape glanced at Ma Wenqing and saw nothing unusual, but when his eyes swept towards Ye Li, he gradually became confused.
Just as Ye Li followed Ma Wenqing towards the golden-armored ape within a distance of just a few dozen meters, the golden-armored ape's expression changed many times in succession, and its body gradually sat up from a half-lying position, looking at Ye Li with a serious face.
When Ye Li was about ten meters away from the Five Elements Divine Ape, he suddenly looked at it with his eyes and then smiled.
The moment the Five Elements Divine Ape saw the smile on Ye Li's face, it let out a "squeak" and jumped up from the stone platform, then turned around and rushed towards a cave not far away.
Judging from the hint of panic in its eyes, it seemed to have realized that Ye Li was not someone it could deal with, so it chose to escape at the first opportunity.
