Indestructible Primordial Spirit

  A new day brought a much richer harvest for the two, not to mention the four field mice that were still left over from the morning, but just the four gray wolves they encountered in the afternoon could be called a huge harvest.

  When dealing with the four gray wolves, Wang Lishou used a forked spear. When Lu Buqi easily beheaded two gray wolves with his decapitating sword, he also quickly resolved the other two gray wolves with his forked spear, using both thrusting and stabbing motions.

  Afterwards, Wang Lishou examined the wound on Xia Lang's body and found that the wound caused by the forked spear was bleeding at a much faster rate than usual spear wounds. It was only then that he realized the effect of the blood groove written by Lu Buqi. However, from his professional perspective, this blood groove still had its shortcomings, which would affect the strength of the weapon. After all, any weapon would not be as thick and sturdy after being made with a blood groove.

  Whether to choose the strength of a weapon or its lethality, it's up to personal preference. If we can design a blood groove on the basis of ensuring sufficient strength of the weapon, it will undoubtedly be an era reform for weapons.

  At first, Wang Lishou would still raise a few opinions on the itinerary of the two in the dense forest, but later found that his opinions would always be naturally vetoed by the actual situation, and Lu Buqi could always find a more suitable way, which made Wang Lishou completely shut up his mouth that randomly raised opinions.

  As the two of them went deeper, Wang Lishou felt that Lu Boyuan was more and more unfathomable. On him, calmness, maturity, wisdom, and perseverance were always visible. Moreover, even with Wang Lishou's relatively rich experience, he couldn't find a single flaw, or if there was one, it wasn't enough to be considered real.

  But then again, a thirteen-year-old boy having qualities that only adults in their thirties or forties could possibly possess would make anyone feel like it's not real.

  "It's said that the dense forest of Guo Yan has many fierce beasts, and villagers often suffer from their attacks. However, we've been in here for almost ten days now, and as the weather gets warmer, we still haven't encountered any fierce beasts." On this day, after having breakfast and preparing to set off, Wang Lishou, carrying four forked spears on his back, couldn't help but mutter to himself. Of the nine days of use, one of the forked spears had been completely ruined, and it had already made its final contribution to roasting meat for the two of them.

  "If the beasts were everywhere, I'm afraid we Zel slaves would have been wiped out long ago!" Lu Buqi knew that Wang Lishou felt a strong desire to prove his strength and regain some of the balance he had lost from himself.

  Wang Leshou nodded: "That's also true, I was just saying it casually. If we really encounter a fine beast, the two of us are still a bit uncertain. Suffering some minor injuries is nothing, but if we suffer serious injuries, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out."

  Lu Buqi lightly shrugged his shoulders: "It won't be so unlucky..."

  Two hours later, when throwing a spear to kill a black gibbon, Lu Buqi felt a sense of danger rising in his heart, and suddenly looked to one side. Under the scorching sun, on top of a tall palm tree, a giant ape, two or three times larger than an ordinary black gibbon, was hanging from one arm, staring at Lu Buqi with a ferocious expression.

  "Wang Shifu, you really are a jinx!" Lu Buji tightened his grip on the decapitating sword: "Don't tell me that the giant ape, who is even taller and stronger than I am, isn't a divine beast."

  At this time, more than a dozen adult black apes came out from various corners, making strange calls and baring their teeth at the two. Holding pitchforks in both hands, Wang Lishou swallowed hard: "It's definitely them, and it seems we've disturbed the monkeys' nest!"

  "This is an ape, not a monkey!" Although Lu Buqi studied monkeys when practicing the Five Animals Mimic Boxing's Ape Fist, in his deeply rooted concept, apes and monkeys were still very different. What made Lu Buqi feel most headache-inducing was that apes were much smarter than monkeys.

  "Are you still counting this?" Wang Lishou licked his lips.

  Lu Buji stared intently at the giant ape, not relaxing for a moment, and replied softly, "I'm not nitpicking, I just want you to understand that its power may not be as terrifying as the Violent Bear's, but it's much more dangerous than the Violent Bear. Because it's definitely smarter than ordinary beasts, which is why we're surrounded now."

  Yes, the two of them were chasing after a black gibbon. For the two of them, if they could kill one that weighed over 300 catties, then for these two days they wouldn't have to worry about food.

  But unexpectedly, the black gibbon was killed, and the two of them arrived at the gibbon's nest. Thinking back on it now, it seems like the big gibbon used a move called "inviting you into the urn".

  "What to do?" Wang Lishou looked around at the group of apes staring at him with an unblinking gaze, and couldn't help but glance up at the large ape that could launch a terrifying attack from its high perch. He had thought about encountering a powerful beast, but he had never imagined it would be in this situation. Now that he had encountered one, he truly felt the oppressive fear.

  Lu Buji endured the urge to pinch his nose: "What else can we do? We must break out, and we can't wait any longer. This giant ape won't attack because there are still adult black apes that haven't arrived... My knife is fast, I'll take care of the giant ape, you use your fastest speed to take down all the black apes and then come help me."

  "No, I'm a bit stronger than you, I'll take care of this big one!" Wang Lishou gritted his teeth and took a step forward, facing the giant ape on the treetop. It seemed that his large movement had stimulated the group of apes, and immediately four black apes bared their teeth and pounced over.

  In fact, when Wang Lishou dodged, Lu Buji already knew that the group of apes would take action. He also made a fierce move, and with a flash of lightning, he beheaded one of the black apes with his knife. At the same time, with a spin of his body, his left hand grasped the bloody dagger and stabbed it into the neck of another black ape.

  At this moment, Wang Lishou fell into danger, because the giant ape on the tree might give him a fatal blow at any time, and he didn't dare to distract himself from dealing with the two black apes that were rushing towards him.

  Anyway, being bitten by this ordinary black gibbon or scratched by its claws is not a big deal. Wang Lishou gritted his teeth and prepared to withstand the pain of one or two wounds. He didn't want to easily defeat the two small ones and then be slapped by the large gibbon.

  Just as the two black apes were about to pounce on Wang Lishou, a sharp whistling sound pierced the air. Wang Lishou only felt a dark object brush past his forehead before hearing one of the black apes let out a strange cry and fall backwards, while the other ape was kicked flying by an unknown leg.

  Lu Buqi showed no mercy, and those ordinary black apes would not survive even if they were only scratched by his leg. Just as Lu Buqi glanced at Wang Lishou and was about to deal with the remaining black apes that were still screaming, he heard the rustling sound of palm trees swaying.

  "Be careful!" Wang Lishou exhaled loudly, his eyes flashing with anger at being ignored. The forked spear in his hand suddenly shot out like a poisonous snake, aiming straight for the giant ape that was smashing down on Lu Buqi from the tree.

  Lu Bu did not pay attention to the rumors, he believed in Wang Lishou's strength. If he concentrated his attention and still couldn't block the giant ape's attack, then the two of them didn't need to resist anymore.

  Wang Lishou did not disappoint Lu Buzhai's trust, his martial skills were indeed solid, and the attack points of his forked spear had completely grasped the landing point of the giant ape. Although the giant ape was as swift as the wind, if it wanted to attack Lu Buzhai, it would inevitably be injured by Wang Lishou's forked spear.

  But what made Wang Lishou's hair stand on end was that the giant ape in mid-air suddenly stretched out its long arm, grabbed the forked spear, and then pulled itself up with a jerk. With a grimace, it slid down the spear towards Wang Lishou.

  Wang Lishou shouted loudly, suddenly loosening his grip on the forked spear, took a step back and sank into a palm strike, slapping towards the ugly head of the giant ape. He didn't believe it was possible for the ape to dodge this one!

  But the giant ape's next move was to make Wang Lishou shocked beyond measure, and in mid-air, it swung the stolen forked spear and struck Wang Lishou's palm with lightning speed.

  Crackling sounds, the hard iron wood became so fragile in the relative strength of one man and one ape, and amidst the flying wooden debris, Wang Lishou only felt a heavy blow to his chest, his entire body suddenly shifted slightly off balance, and he retreated several big steps.

  His throat was slightly sweet, and Wang Lishou's heart was clear. He estimated that he had been kicked hard by the big ape. At the same time as he swallowed the air and blood, Wang Lishou drew out another forked spear and stabbed at the big ape in front of him, who was not much shorter than him.

  "If only Yun Yuexia were here!" For Wang Lishou, the forked spear was really too light, it was fine for dealing with ordinary beasts, but against such a powerful spiritual beast, it was far from enough.

  But even if he couldn't swing his arms and legs, Wang Lishou had already given himself a death order. He was determined to entangle the giant ape no matter what, as long as he could hold on until Lu Buqi took care of those pesky black apes. With two against one, their chances of winning would be much higher.
