Time flew by, and the night passed in the blink of an eye.
It was dawn, the air was fresh, the wind was bright and sunny. Yang Ji took the "Hundred Refined Long Sword" with him, jumped over the window, went all the way downhill, and flew along the memory in the direction of "Ape Mountain".
After passing through patches of rocks, woods, wilderness, and shrubs, Yang Ji finally arrived at the "Ape Mountain". It was not visible at night, but during the day, Yang Ji felt the magnificence and majesty of this "Ape Mountain"
.
I saw a huge mountain lying on the ground like a wild beast, exuding a primitive atmosphere. The mountains are steep and straight, with strange rocks, and a big river flows out from the mountain, rushing and noisy.
"Ouch!——"
"Roar!--"
You can see many spiritual apes from a distance, climbing and leaping on the top of the dense mountain forest, extremely agile. This is the first time Yang Ji has seen their faces clearly during the day.
Yang Ji has seen "steel-backed apes", but these "spiritual apes" are different from "steel-backed apes". Their appearance is between "apes" and "monkeys". And their eyes generally reveal a bit of spirituality.
In addition, their lower limbs are thick, their ape arms are extremely long, and they are more than ten feet long, and their jumping power is scary. Their hair is not all the same. Yang Ji stood at the foot of the mountain and looked around, and saw the "spirit apes" at the bottom of the mountain.
It is usually yellowish brown with a bit of cyan, but the further you go towards the top of the mountain, the darker the color of the "Spirit Ape's" hair becomes, even showing a bit of black.
Moreover, the further toward the top of the mountain, the more ferocious the "spirit apes" look, the taller they are, and the stronger they are. Yang Ji listened carefully and found that the two "spirit apes" that attacked him last night were actually
Some are like those "spiritual apes" on the top of the mountain.
"I remember Senior Sister Lan said that these things have tribes. Could it be that what I encountered last night was the hunting ape among the spiritual apes."
Yang Ji was secretly curious. Some ethnic groups have a "territorial concept", which means that he will be discovered as soon as he steps into their territory. It is almost impossible to remain undiscovered quietly.
When Yang Ji came up with this idea, he immediately discovered that something was different. Although the spiritual apes in "Ape Mountain" came and went, they did their own thing and didn't look strange.
But if you look carefully, you can clearly see some ferocious-looking "spiritual apes" with slightly black fur. Although they are jumping around, their eyes are always looking at their direction, with an unkind look on their faces.
"interesting."
Yang Ji secretly laughed in his heart. He followed him all the way here, and specially brought the "Hundred Refiners Long Sword" with him. Of course, he didn't bring it back home here.
"Xiao Ji, do you still remember the aura of that spiritual ape? Take me to find it."
Yang Ji lowered his head, patted "Xiao Ji" on his wrist, and said softly.
Xiao Ji's perception is very sharp, far beyond that of humans. Although Yang Ji cannot distinguish one ape from a group of apes, Xiao Ji can definitely do it.
"His!"
Sure enough, when "Xiao Ji" heard Yang Ji's words, he jumped down and dived into the vast "Ape Mountain" in a flash.
Yang Ji was overjoyed, his robes swayed, and without saying a word, he followed "Xiao Ji" and chased away.
"Gu Gu Gu Gu... Ouch!——"
In the distance, on the treetops, some dark-furred vigilant apes saw Yang Ji coming out. They immediately cried uneasily. Not long after Yang Ji entered the "Ape Mountain", there was a crash, like a waterfall of rain.
Many tall apes screamed from all directions and rushed towards the place where Yang Ji had penetrated along the hillside...
The mountains are covered with deep vegetation and thick fallen leaves, forming thick layers on the ground. As soon as Yang Ji entered, there was a commotion.
"Gugu!——"
Under the canopy, many light-colored "spiritual apes" gathered together in small groups to eat insects in the dead leaves. Suddenly they found Yang Ji intruding and were frightened. They fled in all directions.
"These apes seem to be very afraid of people!"
Yang Ji was quite surprised. Judging from what happened last night, he came into contact with at least two groups of spiritual apes. One group was ferocious, tall and extremely aggressive.
The other group, like the group in front of me, is weaker. Their temperament is also more "cowardly", a little afraid of others, and not so aggressive.
Before he had time to think about it, Xiao Ji had already gone up the mountain. Yang Ji jumped up and followed closely.
"Roar!--"
Not far away, the wind howled, and a huge black shadow suddenly fell from the treetop on the right, roaring, revealing a pair of white fangs, and flew towards it.
"puff!"
Yang Ji didn't even look back. He flicked the long sword and stabbed directly into the head of the vicious ape through the eyeball. Whoosh! With a fierce thrust, the ape trembled all over and immediately fell to the ground like soft mud.
The "Alert Ape", whose muscles and bones were still strong last night and extremely ferocious, met Yang Ji this time, and fell down as if made of paper.
This is the purpose of Yang Ji specially bringing the "Hundred Refiners Long Sword" with him during this operation.
These vigilant apes have strong muscles and bones, and even a full blow may not kill them. However, no matter how strong they are, their eyes and brains cannot be improved.
For Yang Ji, no matter how powerful the "opponent" is, as long as he finds their flaws, he can easily defeat them, whether they are humans or spiritual apes.
"call!"
The strong wind roared, and another ferocious ape with dark fur fell down. A cold light flashed, and the ferocious ape fell straight down before it even hit the ground.
"Ouch!——"
There were strange roars on the treetops, and one after another vicious apes kept falling from the trees. Yang Ji's long sword flew like flying, and where it passed, one vicious ape after another lay dead on the ground. There was nothing that could stop him.
But even so, they couldn't stop those ferocious apes. More and more ferocious apes were jumping from the trees in all directions. When Yang Ji rushed out of Baizhang, he suddenly saw a dense crowd in front of him. Dozens of ferocious apes jumped from the treetops with ferocious eyes.
Come and surround Yang Ji tightly.
"Um?"
Yang Ji's face changed slightly. These ferocious apes were obviously darker in color and more resourceful than the previous batch of ferocious apes. They did not pounce on them like the previous ferocious apes. Instead, they vaguely formed some kind of formation, as if they wanted to swarm them.
Suddenly, Senior Sister Lan's words rang in my ears again.
"These guys actually learned martial arts and formations."
Yang Ji finally understood why the disciples from Tieguan Mountain didn't come here so easily. He had never seen the martial arts of spiritual apes, but these ferocious apes obviously knew some kind of combined attack.
Yang Jiyi is a brave man, but the posture in front of him cannot help him not being cautious. It is difficult for him to defeat four hands with two fists, let alone so many ferocious apes. If he is not careful, he may be damaged here.
"His!"
Seeing that the two sides were on the verge of a fight, a shuddering cold wave suddenly surged in, and the temperature dropped drastically within hundreds of feet in the entire mountain forest, filled with a dangerous atmosphere.
"Buzz!"
A strange thing happened. The vicious apes that had looked fierce before and were in a combined attack posture, no matter how many died, were determined to deal with Yang Ji. Suddenly their whole bodies stiffened, their fur trembled, and they all cooed and screamed, with fear in their eyes.
His expression was as if he had encountered something terrifying.
"Goooo!——"
With a mournful cry, a ferocious ape jumped out first and fled hastily into the depths of the Ape Mountain. The next moment, all the apes screamed strangely and fled in all directions as if they were frightened.
For a moment, the group of apes that had been standing in front of Yang Ji just now, forming an army, immediately disappeared without a trace. Not a single one could be seen.
Hiss!
Behind the woods, a small black snake swam slowly over the rotten leaves. It was "Xiao Ji" who noticed something was wrong and swam over again, frightening the group of apes.
"Xiao Ji, I really depend on you!"
Yang Ji smiled and stroked Xiao Ji's head.
Everything in the world is changing. Although Yang Ji cannot deal with so many powerful spiritual apes by himself, Xiao Ji, as the king of snakes, is at the top of the biological chain. For other beings at the middle and bottom of the biological chain
But it has great restraint and deterrence.
After all, even huge apes have to stay away from venomous snakes that can kill with just one bite, like the god of plague.
With Xiao Ji's help, Yang Ji suddenly felt much more relaxed in the "Ape Mountain", almost as if he was in a deserted land. As long as Xiao Ji exuded the aura of "Crown King Snake" on his body, almost no spiritual ape dared to jump down.
Come on, don't even dare to come close.
Seeing that he was following Xiao Ji all the way to the top of the mountain, Yang Ji finally stopped.
"Xiao Ji, calm down your breath. Don't scare it away."
Yang Jidao.
Xiao Ji nodded and restrained the aura of the King of Snakes from his body. Xiao Ji almost starved to death in Pingchuan City because of the aura on his body.
But now, after recognizing Yang Ji as my master, I can already send and receive messages freely.
After a while, Xiaoji's speed became slower and slower.
"It looks like it should be right in front."
Yang Ji knew in his heart that the spiritual ape who stole his "blood energy sword" should not be far away.
"It's really weird. The higher you go to the top of the mountain, the stronger the ape is and the higher the level it is. Logically speaking, the speed of that ape shouldn't have reached this level yet, right?"
Yang Ji was secretly surprised.
"Roar!--"
Waves of violent roars came from the front, and Yang Ji's heart moved. He flicked his long sword and cut off a branch to cover himself. At the same time, he slowed down and moved forward towards the hidden corners under the trees.
"call!"
Several ferocious apes with extremely dark fur stepped on the branches and roared past in the distance. From far and near, they heard a strange and furious scream, which seemed to be communicating with each other.
"Is it because of us?"
Yang Ji secretly thought that it seemed that they were the only intruders in this ape mountain now.
"His!"
At this time, Xiao Ji turned around and swam in the opposite direction. Yang Ji was surprised and had no time to think about it, so he followed Xiao Ji up.
"Goo!"
A low cry came from the mountain. Among the ape cries, it was hard to spot it unless you were careful. Pushing aside the leaves and seeing clearly what was going on behind him, Yang Ji suddenly felt happy:
"found it!"
On the top of "Ape Mountain", on a bare reddish-brown rock, there is not a single big tree around, and not even weeds can be seen in the cracks between the rocks. A pair of spiritual apes, one large and one small, with relatively light fur, are facing each other.
Crying something.
The spiritual ape with its back to Yang Ji was more than seven feet tall, with its body slightly bowed. On the right side of its fur, a piece of dark ink was clearly exposed.
"that's it!"
A bright light flashed in Yang Ji's eyes. He clearly remembered hitting it with ink last night. There was no doubt that the spiritual ape in front of him was the one who stole his blood sword and scriptures and made a fuss in the room.
"Spiritual Ape".
This "spiritual ape" obviously didn't notice Yang Ji. It smashed its mouth and seemed to be drinking something. When he saw the thing in its hand clearly, Yang Ji was shocked:
"French wine!——"
A small jar was filled with liquid. The viscous, amber-like color was very similar to what Yang Ji saw at Zhao Hua's place. The only difference was that it seemed lighter.
"call!"
As if in response to Yang Ji's doubts, a gust of mountain wind blew past the top of the mountain, and the aroma of wine immediately wafted in the air.
"French wine, really French wine!..."
Yang Ji was shocked in his heart. If the color of the liquid was just similar to French wine, then the special smell containing a variety of fragrances was exactly the same as "French wine".
"How is that possible? How can there be French wine in a place like this?"
Yang Ji was completely stunned and could hardly believe his eyes.
"Dharma Wine" can only be rewarded by senior brothers. Could it be that every senior brother has lost his "Dharma Wine" and was stolen here by these spiritual apes to drink it.
"It shouldn't be. The senior brothers in the sect take this kind of thing very seriously. They won't lose it easily."
Yang Ji felt secretly strange.
He was completely unprepared because he didn't know there was a spiritual ape. But the senior brothers and sisters in the faction wouldn't be unprepared, right? Besides, there will always be someone to take care of such a valuable thing.
It was at this time that Yang Ji noticed something different. The jars used by Zhao Hua and others to hold French wine were all very small and delicate, but the jar in the hands of this spiritual ape was much larger, rougher, and
Stone jar.
No one would use a stone jar to hold such precious "French wine", and Yang Ji noticed that the one opposite the spiritual ape seemed to be a petite female. And that spiritual ape drank "French wine"
When I was there, my eyes were always alert and I looked around crookedly.
"this……"
Yang Ji was surprised, and a thought flashed through his mind: "Could it be stolen too?"
This idea confused Yang Ji himself. What is going on? Where does French wine come from? What is going on with the stone jar? And where is the female ape? One ape steals something for the other.
Drink?
But where did it come from?
"Snapped!"
Just when Yang Ji was puzzled, a stone suddenly flew from the southeast and hit the stone jar with a huge force. The stone jar was broken into pieces with a huge force, and the "French wine" in it also spilled out and became wet.
one slice.
"boom!"
In Yang Ji's unexpected gaze, the two spiritual apes seemed to be petrified as if struck by thunder. They stood there shivering, motionless in fear.
