The moment they felt the ferocious aura, Fang Yun and Tan Feng were on full alert, but after seeing the full appearance of the monster, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
It was a giant black ape, and even without standing firmly, its height was over thirty feet. Its two huge arms almost reached the ground, and its hands were wrapped in black flames. The flames crackled and made the air nearby distorted.
There were actually three faces on its head, one in front and one on each side. The three faces were pale as if covered with white ash, and the eyes and mouths on the two sides were tightly closed, while the eyes on the front face were open and looking here.
Its eyes were as dark blue as the sea, strange and eerie.
Three-faced ape, an ancient demon clan.
A strange smile appeared on the face of the three-faced ape, and he said, "I didn't expect to meet two of our tribesmen here. It seems that you are also looking for the saint's finger, right?"
Fang Yun didn’t know as much about the ancient monsters as Tan Feng, so he looked at Tan Feng.
Tan Feng slightly retracted his bony wings to show that he had no hostility, nodded, and said, "Indeed, I came here together with Fu Yue to find the Sage's Finger. Sanmian, how long have you been here?"
The three-faced ape replied, "It was only two hours. I didn't want to go in right away, so I kept looking at the edge, and that's when I ran into you."
Tan Feng shook his head and said, "I have been in the Yinlingyuan for a few days. I only found some bones and holy energy balls from the edge, but no saint fingers at all. After going deeper, I accidentally entered a moon land and was attacked. I had to retreat to the Fenglun Mountains to recuperate. Later, I met Fang Xusheng and entered again."
"I see. Since you two are joining forces, why not take me with you?" The three-faced ape said with a smile.
Tan Feng looked at Fang Yun, Fang Yun smiled and said: "We are of the same clan, so I should help you, but my realm is lower, so Tan Feng has the final say on this matter."
Fang Yun was polite on the surface, but he was a little hesitant in his heart, because the temperament of the three-faced ape was not always the same. In the words of the ancient Chinese country, once the left and right sides awakened, the three-faced ape would have some personality split. In the history of ancient monsters, there were many records of the three-faced ape doing bad things.
If Fang Yun encountered the three-faced ape in Fenglun Mountains, he would never take the initiative to join forces.
Although Tan Feng looks like a scary snake, he is not a bad person among the ancient monsters. He is poisonous in body but not in heart, and is much kinder than some ancient monsters.
If a human was smart, he would have known that Fang Yun was just trying to evade the challenge and actually didn't want to join forces with the Three-Faced Ape. However, Tan Feng was not good at calculating, so after a little thought, he nodded and said, "As both of us are ancient monsters, we should help each other. Then, according to our previous agreement, we will work together to find three Sage's Fingers and leave this place. It should be faster for three people to work together than for one person to find one."
The three-faced ape laughed and said, "Okay! I'll first give you the map of the Yinling original terrain that I walked through before."
After saying this, the three-faced ape opened its mouth and spit out a white line, which eventually formed a topographic map in the sky.
Tan Feng also opened his mouth, white steam boiled up, and he added more.
Fang Yun looked around and saw that the map was covered with densely packed line segments. Each line segment represented a route within a small plain. In some places, two line segments intersected. He roughly measured the length and width of a small plain and roughly outlined a lunar or solar area.
If it were turned into a topographic map, this Yinling Plain was actually divided into countless small grids, each with a different area and shape. Each small plain was roughly composed of four sides, but people who entered it almost always walked from one side to the other, not to the other two sides, so the topographic map above was mostly line segments and few grids.
Fang Yun looked up at the sky. The sky above Yinlingyuan seemed calm, but once one got too close to the moon or the sun, he would be randomly moved to other places in Yinlingyuan. It would be fine if he landed in a safe place, but if he landed in the residence of those powerful Yinwu evil spirits, he would surely die.
The three-faced ape looked at Fang Yun and asked in surprise: "Why didn't Fang Xusheng add the topographic map?"
Fang Yun said: "This is my first time entering Yinlingyuan. Tanfeng has been to every place I have been to."
"Oh. Although you and I are of the same race, there are some things that need to be made clear. Since you are weak, you can only take the Sage's Finger of the worst quality." said the Three-Faced Ape.
Tan Feng remained silent, and Fang Yun looked at the three-faced ape's orchid-colored eyes.
A light breeze blew by, and the black hair on the three-faced ape, which was harder than steel, fluttered gently.
After a few breaths, Fang Yun nodded and said, "The better the quality of the Saint's Finger, the greater its use in the Blood Tomb Cemetery. Naturally, it will be given to the person who has made the greatest contribution."
The three-faced ape smiled and said, "Okay, if you contribute the most, you will get the best Sage's Finger. I heard that you have obtained a little more ancient demon inheritance than us, so you must be better at distinguishing the quality of the Sage's Finger than us. It all depends on you then."
"In my inheritance, there are indeed more aspects related to the Sage's Finger. After all, our Fu Yue ancestor once obtained a top-grade Sage's Finger."
"Then let's go. Tanfeng, you lead the way." said the three-faced ape.
"good."
Tan Feng was in the front, Fang Yun and the Three-faced Ape were on both sides, slowly going deeper into the Yinlingyuan.
The three-faced ape was much more eloquent than Tanfeng, so the three of them did not have a dull time along the way.
The holy energy here is far more than that in the outside world, but because he has to keep moving forward, Fang Yun has no time to collect it.
Suddenly, it became a little darker ahead. A full moon was hanging high in the sky. Fifty miles away, there was a large mass of gray fog.
"It is a vicious spirit in the dark fog, but its strength is average." Tan Feng's words reached the ears of the two.
As Tan Feng was speaking, the fog in front suddenly exploded, and then many translucent monsters in the shape of birds and beasts rushed over.
The bodies of these monsters were completely transparent, with a layer of light gray mist on the surface. In the center of the transparent body were bones of various shapes and sizes. The bones were large and small, but all of them had light golden threads flowing on their surfaces.
The smallest of these monsters is ten feet in size, and the largest is over five feet in length. They all exude an aura equivalent to that of a newly promoted great demon king.
Behind the group of monsters that were rushing over, there was a large cloud of fog that was slowly approaching.
"Although these little monsters are also called Yin Mist Evil Spirits, they are only residual spirits. The ones in the fog are the real Yin Mist Evil Spirits. There are only twenty-four residual spirits. It can be judged that the Yin Mist Evil Spirits inside are only at the second level." Tan Feng said.
The three-faced ape laughed and said, "Leave this evil spirit who doesn't know how to live or die to me!"
Fang Yun said casually: "Some evil spirits in the fog are very cunning. They only release a few residual spirits to confuse the enemy. There are still a large number of residual spirits in the fog. We must be careful in the future."
"The cunning Yin Wu evil spirit can only be found in the core of the Yin Ling. The one in front of us can't be it!" The three-faced ape said as he attacked.
I saw it raise its right hand high and clap it forward from a distance.
A fire cloud with a radius of one mile appeared out of nowhere. Faint golden threads were leaping in the fire cloud, and then condensed into a giant fire cloud hand, which fell heavily on the numerous residual spirits.
There was a loud bang, and the fire hand exploded, and visible flame shock waves spread in all directions.
All the remaining souls made crisp explosion sounds, their bodies shattered and disintegrated, while the holy energy and bones that made up them flew everywhere, most of them remaining intact.
