After a brief discussion, Chu Hong took Yang Qi and two seven-star martial masters to investigate, while Wu Tian stayed behind to lead the team.
Chu Hong looked at Wu Tian and said, "Brother Wu, I'll leave this to you."
"Brother Chu, don't worry."
Wu Tian nodded slightly, and then said, "You have to be careful over there too. The speed of ape monsters on the ground is much faster than other monsters."
Ape-like monsters are good at running and jumping, and with their powerful bodies, they pose a great threat to practitioners on the ground and in low altitudes. Therefore, ape-like monsters are also the type of monsters that practitioners least want to face, because they are too difficult to deal with!
Because of the ancient war, the Zi Chen Continent has a clearer understanding of monsters than the general cultivation world. The practitioners in the Zi Chen Continent can recite the types of monsters, their strengths, and even their weaknesses by heart!
These were summed up by the ancestors of Zichen Continent with their blood, and the ape monsters were considered the most difficult monsters by the ancestors, because during the ancient war, the practitioners of Zichen Continent were almost unable to fly. Without the birth of a strong warrior in the King of Martial Arts realm, there would naturally be no flying martial arts.
After separating from Wu Tian and others, Yang Qi and his four companions turned into four afterimages and disappeared into the forest.
"Eh~"
At this time, Chu Hong also noticed the blood on Yang Qi's arm. They hadn't heard any fighting sounds before, so Chu Hong looked at Yang Qi in surprise and asked, "Junior Brother Yang, are you injured?"
“I found a magical medicine before and encountered a strange beast. I was bitten by it, and it’s just a minor skin wound.” Yang Qi said with a faint smile.
Alien beasts usually refer to animals that are not very intelligent and do not know how to practice. Insect beasts belong to this category. However, alien beasts are not wild beasts, because they are powerful. Although they are not very intelligent, they not only know how to survive, but also have various strange means. That is why they are called alien beasts.
"This beast is not simple, as it can hurt you." Chu Hong's eyes narrowed.
He had heard about Yang Qi's ability to preserve his life and the strength of his body. The strange beast that could hurt Yang Qi might not be a big threat to a cultivator of his level, but it was a big threat to other people in the team.
"After we finish investigating the ape-like monster, we need to remind others." Chu Hong said secretly in his heart.
After Yang Qi mentioned this, Chu Hong also discovered that the danger in the secret realm not only comes from monsters, but also from strange beasts. He must be more careful in the future!
Although the injury on Yang Qi's hand was not serious, it was not light either. It was only because he had the powerful recovery ability of the Phoenix Nirvana Body that the injury could recover so quickly. You have to know that since he got the practice method of the Phoenix Nirvana Body, he has absorbed and refined a lot of phoenix blood. The effect of the Phoenix Nirvana Body is no longer comparable to the original one.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
A group of four flew through the mountains and forests, and after a while, they arrived not far away from where the beast roar came from.
"How is it?" Chu Hong looked at Yang Qi.
The cultivator who was in charge of the air before had already made some observations and knew the approximate location of the monster. With Yang Qi's perception, he could almost sense the specific strength of the monster from this position.
Yang Qi concentrated and sensed for a moment before he said in a deep voice, "Nine-star Martial Master Early Stage."
Phew~
Hearing this, the three people including Chu Hong breathed a sigh of relief. If they encountered a monster in the middle stage of Nine-Star Martial Lord, the twenty-one people in their team would not be enough.
“Although their aura is only at the early stage of Nine-Star Martial Lord, the bloodline of the monster has a great influence on their strength. Our specific strength needs further observation.” Yang Qi said.
Chu Hong nodded slightly. Like cultivators, monsters and beasts do not necessarily have the same level of cultivation as cultivators in that their combat power is determined by their cultivation level. When encountering monsters with special bloodlines and talents, they can often unleash stronger combat power, comparable to the top geniuses among humans!
Just like the poisonous dragon that Yang Qi had seen in the southern barbarian land before and had already died long ago, if that poisonous dragon was alive, even if it was only at the early stage of the Nine-Star Martial Master, its combat power would probably be comparable to that of a practitioner at the late stage of the Nine-Star Martial Master, or even more terrifying!
Chu Hong looked at the two Seven-Star Martial Lords beside him and said in a deep voice, "You stay here, Yang Qi and I will go to investigate."
The two practitioners nodded slightly after hearing this. For this kind of investigation, the more people there are, the better. If they are discovered by the monster and a fight breaks out, it will be more convenient for them who are not involved in the fight to help or seek external assistance than Yang Qi and the other two.
Immediately, Chu Hong and Yang Qi restrained their own breath and quietly rushed towards the location of the monster. After walking for dozens of miles, the two stopped.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
With a flash of their bodies, Yang Qi and Chu Hong came to a huge ancient tree nearby and looked towards the location of the ape-like monster.
“What a huge size!”
Looking at the giant ape half lying on a huge cliff in the distance, Chu Hong frowned slightly.
Generally speaking, the size of ape-like monsters is slightly smaller than that of other monsters. However, the monster in front of him is much larger than a normal nine-star martial arts monster.
Yang Qi's eyes focused, and he said in a deep voice, "This should be the Heaven-shaking Ancient Ape!"
The Heaven-shaking Ancient Ape
Chu Hong's face changed slightly, and he carefully observed the half-lying giant ape. Then his face became extremely solemn, because he was sure that this was indeed the Heaven-shaking Ancient Ape!
The Heaven-shaking Ape was recorded in the ancient war of Zichen Continent. It is a monster with extremely powerful bloodline. It is born in the Martial Honor Realm. Once it grows up, its strength is even more terrifying. However, after the ancient war, the Heaven-shaking Ape has rarely appeared in the sight of practitioners. Some people say that the Heaven-shaking Ape has long been extinct, while others say that the Heaven-shaking Ape lives deep in the territory occupied by monsters.
However, the only thing that cannot be denied is that the Heaven-Shaking Ancient Ape is a monster with powerful bloodline, and it is extremely easy to get angry, making it an extremely difficult monster to deal with.
“It’s actually the Heaven-Shaking Ancient Ape. Even though it’s only a demon beast at the early stage of Nine-Star Martial Lord, it might be a bit troublesome for our team to face it.” Chu Hong sighed lightly.
Hearing this, Yang Qi could not help but nod his head. The Heaven-shaking Ancient Ape was indeed a difficult monster. If they encountered a Heaven-shaking Ancient Ape in the middle stage of the Nine-star Martial Honor, they would not even have the strength to contend with it. Even if it was just an Ancient Ape in the early stage of the Nine-star Martial Honor, it would not be easy for them to deal with it.
"Any other discoveries?" Chu Hong asked in a deep voice.
“Not yet.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Qi shook his head slightly. The aura of the Sky-Shaking Ancient Ape was too strong. He was temporarily unable to sense whether there were any rare treasures near the Sky-Shaking Ancient Ape.
Chu Hong hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Retreat first, go back and discuss, then make a decision!"
If it was an ordinary Nine-Star Martial Lord early stage monster, Chu Hong's strength could still deal with it, allowing Yang Qi to get closer to investigate. However, the Heaven Shaking Ancient Ape was too difficult to deal with. If he acted rashly, he would probably be entangled by the Heaven Shaking Ancient Ape. Fighting alone, he was no match for the Heaven Shaking Ancient Ape. (To be continued)
