Chapter 108: Jungle Giant Ape, First Prey!

  "Wow, having a picnic with a beauty in the wilderness is really something else! " Mo Fei Bai, who had been behaving himself for a while, started to get oily and smooth again. He actively tore off a piece of meat and handed it to Lan You Ruo, but she didn't have a good impression of him to begin with, and his lewd expression made her even less willing to eat the food he offered. He Lian Nuo saw this and couldn't help but laugh to herself, so she washed a large leaf clean, wrapped some roasted meat in it, and handed it to Lan You Ruo.

  Several people chatted and laughed, unknowingly talking until dawn. It has to be said that Mo Fei Bai is not only extremely charming and elegant, but also has a wide range of knowledge. In the end, it was almost all Mo Fei Bai himself who talked non-stop about his experiences traveling around these years. He Lian Nu had also experienced many interesting things in the You Yue Forest, but they were not suitable to mention in front of outsiders. He could only watch with his eyes wide open as Lan You Ruo listened with great interest to Mo Fei Bai's stories. He Lian Shuo had gone to bed early, following the order they had arranged earlier, first taking turns on duty by He Lian Nu, while others rested. However, Mo Fei Bai and Lan You Ruo were very much in tune with each other, and didn't feel too tired.

  He Lianuo stretched his waist, and the long knife in his hand unconsciously scratched the ground. Since losing the Tianlang dagger in the Blood Refining Tower last time, He Lianuo had not had a chance to find a suitable weapon. Now that he had some free time, he specially went to the Heavenly Gift Space to select a long knife. The Heavenly Gift Space originally stored many treasures passed down by the Gong Sun family for thousands of years. Although this long knife could not be considered a divine artifact, it was very sharp and had a suitable weight, so He Lianuo decided to use it as a temporary weapon. If he found a better one in the future, he could replace it later.

  。

  The fireflies in the night sky looked exceptionally dreamy, although the place where the four of them rested was still a short distance from the forest, many fireflies also flew here, like small lanterns quietly floating in the air, mixed with the stars in the sky, giving people a sense of being in a fairyland.

  Looking at the moon in the sky that presents a wolf head shape, He Lianuo smiled slightly. Gong Sun said it was right, the moon of the Demon Moon Continent is indeed demonic enough. It reflects the mood of the person looking at it at all times. At this moment, what He Lianuo misses most in his heart is Xiao Lang.

  It's been five or six days since the Blood Refining Tower and Xiao Lang parted ways. This should be the first time the two companions have been separated for such a long time. Although there is still no news of Luo Tian and his group being captured by Ling Xuan, Helian Nuo cannot rest assured without seeing Xiao Lang for a day. And what about Lei Shuo and Sang Xiao? Are these two brothers who once went through life and death together doing well now?

  Lanyu Ruo, who was chatting idly by the bonfire, finally felt tired. She took off her long gown and spread it on the ground, lying down beside Helian Shuo. Mo Fei Bai wanted to lie down next to her, but was fiercely rejected by Lanyu Ruo.

  "Lucky you know how to stay away from that rascal and protect yourself, I thought you'd already been fooled by Mo Fei Bai! ", He Lian Nuo muttered to himself, perking up his spirit and becoming vigilant. Since all three of his companions were already asleep, the safety of the entire squad now rested on his shoulders!

  Although it was midsummer, the wind at midnight still had a coolness to it. Helian Nuo hugged his own shoulders and leaned in close to the bonfire. Even though Helian Nuo's physical strength was good, the second round of testing had already exhausted him, and before he could even rest, he had to rush for another day. Now, Helian Nuo only felt that his eyelids were constantly fighting each other. He struggled desperately, but in the end, he still buried his head into his knees and fell fast asleep.

  "ROAR!!!!", after an unknown period of time, a fierce beast roar suddenly sounded in Helian's ear, he was shocked awake, rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked around, only to see a giant ape over two meters tall standing less than a meter away from him, pounding its chest. Perhaps fearing the flames, the giant ape just roared from afar, but didn't dare to come closer.

  "I asked, how did you sneak in at night? How could such a big guy reach the camp without being detected? If it weren't for You Ruo's carefulness in setting up the Water Seal Boundary around us beforehand, we might have died without even knowing how."

  "!", Mo Fei's hand grasped a very narrow and thin long knife, loudly rebuking.

  He Lianuo did not speak out in opposition as he usually did, he knew that this time it was indeed his own dereliction of duty that had caused the mistake, if Lan You hadn't been extra cautious, perhaps several people would have already been swallowed into the belly of the giant ape.

  "It's a fifth-order soul beast, the Jungle Giant Ape. I didn't expect it to come to us instead of us going after it. Everyone, don't panic. As long as we four work together, taking it down is still manageable. Its timing couldn't be better, let's make it our team's first prey!" He Liancheng glared at his younger brother, but his words were actually making excuses for him.

  "Everyone, listen up! Mofei Bai has the fastest speed, so you'll be the one to lure the enemy. Be sure to utilize your wind element's agility and speed to attract the giant ape's attention, but remember not to get too close. Don't be fooled by its large size - it's actually extremely fast and has swift movements. If we let it get close, we won't have any chance of winning. If you feel like the situation is going south, retreat immediately and don't try to fight back!" He Lian Shuo gave out the battle deployment with a familiar tone, clearly showing that he had experienced such sudden situations countless times before.

  "Understood!", Mo Fei Ba licked the corner of his mouth, sheathed his long knife and crouched down, intently observing the giant ape. A fierce battle intent suddenly burst out from within him!

  "You're the weakest among us four, Yu Rou. Fall back for now and wait until I've subdued him before attacking. He Lian, I recall you telling me you have a large-scale attack soul skill. Don't rush to use it just yet, wait for my command! After Fei Bai lures it over, I'll try my best to subdue it, then we'll launch a joint attack together. Does everyone understand?"

  Seeing the other three nodding solemnly, He Lian Shuo gripped his long sword tightly and shouted loudly at the right moment: "Begin!"

  As soon as He Lian's voice fell, Mo Fei Bai, who had been waiting for a long time, shot towards the giant ape like an arrow off the string. He Lian only now discovered that this kid still had some strength left in the second round of testing. At this moment, he was using his full strength, and his speed was so fast that it made people feel unbelievable!

  The giant ape only saw a white shadow rushing towards itself, and before it could see clearly, Mo Fei's long knife had already been drawn on its body. This knife was fierce, but hadn't hurt its vital parts yet. Even so, the giant ape still let out a painful roar, and with red eyes, slapped a palm at Mo Fei!

  "Be careful!", Lanyu shouted anxiously as she retreated to the back of the group, seeing the giant ape's massive palm about to slap down on Mo Fei Bai. Her voice had barely fallen when Mo Fei Bai's body suddenly twisted, changing direction in an eerie instant, narrowly escaping from under the giant ape's palm, which almost scraped his back as it slammed into the ground.

  Lan You Ruo patted her chest with a pale face, feeling that such an intense scene was too tense for her, who rarely fought against others.

  Mo Fei Bai narrowly escaped the giant ape's palm and no longer wanted to fight, turning around and running towards He Lian Shuo's direction. The giant ape, now completely enraged, chased after him with a loud roar, with only less than two meters between them. The giant ape's fists almost hit Mo Fei Bai's body several times, and the timid Lan You Rou couldn't help but cover her eyes, not daring to look again.

  "Hurry up!", with the giant ape getting closer and closer behind, Mo Fei Bai suddenly ducked down and jumped into the grass beside him, instantly drawing the giant ape's attention in another direction!

  "Beautifully done!", He Liancheng quietly praised, pouring the soul power that had been accumulated for a long time into his hand-held long sword. In an instant, the originally cold and shining long sword turned into a crystal clear ice blue color. Just as the giant ape was about to pounce on Mo Feibai's body, He Liancheng leaped high into the air, his long sword fiercely stabbing into the giant ape's back!

  "Blade of Frost!", He Lian Shuo bellowed, the icy soul power contained within his long sword pouring into the giant ape's body all at once. The giant ape's movements suddenly stiffened, its raised fist unable to strike downwards again. Seizing this opportunity, Mo Fei Bai swiftly rolled to one side, his long knife viciously stabbing into the giant ape's left foot, and with a slap of his hand on the hilt, he firmly nailed the giant ape's left foot to the ground!

  "Hurry, now!", seeing the giant ape being nailed to the ground, Hurenno pulled out a long icicle and jumped onto the ground. At this time, the effect of Ice Seal Blade had not been lifted yet, although the giant ape wanted to counterattack, its stiff body did not allow it to make any moves.

  "Gale Slash!", Helianno, who had been waiting for the opportunity, heard his brother's command and jumped up to the giant ape's abdomen without hesitation. His whole body spun violently, and the long knife he had chosen from the Heavenly Space had completely turned purple, with white lightning flashing violently between them. In an instant, it ripped open the entire abdomen of the giant ape!

  Unlike Tong Lei's Crazy Thunder Whirlwind Slash, He Lian Nu's Gale Thunder Slash emphasizes attack power over speed. The Thunder-type soul force has extremely strong penetration and paralysis effects. With this strike, the giant ape's internal organs were instantly electrocuted to a charred state, but what was even more terrifying was the paralyzing effect of the Mysterious Thunder Force. The giant ape's entire body suddenly convulsed violently, and with a loud crash, it fell face-up to the ground!

  "Water Seal!", Lanyu Ruo, who had been staying in the safe zone all along, finally rushed over. She drew out a long whip from her waist and held it above her head, rapidly rotating it. The long whip, infused with water-elemental soul power, quickly emitted a blue glow, forming a misty, arched water prison around the giant ape's body. The giant ape struggled violently, but was unable to break free from the water prison.
