Solution?
What solution could they have?
Except for Tian Zhiqian, the other five people's expressions changed, but none of them spoke.
Ling Yunhe and Yang Chengji were the first to feel the strangeness of this three-headed ape. In fact, this three-headed ape's aura was only at the seventh rank, not even at the eighth rank of the Nascent Soul stage. However, no matter if it was spiritual energy or demonic energy, it was unable to cause any damage to this giant ape. It was just like how people said it was invulnerable.
After a brief silence, Tian Zhiqian shouted again, "Hurry up! I can't hold it for long!"
At this time, the three giant apes were already approaching the six of them, and one of their arms stretched out towards them. Fortunately, they had Tian Zhiqian's formation, and with a "buzz", a thin layer of spirit qi barrier appeared around the six of them, blocking the arm.
The giant ape blinked as if it didn't understand what was going on. Then, except for the two arms on its back, it swung its other four arms at them.
"Boom!" The spiritual aura shield collided with the arm, creating a heavy sound.
Following this loud noise, Tian Zhiqian's face turned pale.
He shouted, "No, it's too powerful. I can only hold it for five more times!"
Ling Yunhe asked anxiously, "Brother Tian, isn't your Protective Formation able to withstand several attacks from Nascent Soul cultivators?
Why is it this time … "
After another attack, Tian Zhiqian said while gasping for breath, "That being said, this monster's power is strange. It can't be measured by common sense …"
"What should we do?" Ling Yunhe asked the others as he didn't have time to ask for details.
The people present were usually very opinionated, but this time, Ling Yunhe couldn't get any ideas.
Yang Chengji's Ghost Face Banner was used, but it didn't work. Ling Yunhe's Crescent Moon Jade Knife was still outside. Mo Tiange's Heaven and Earth Fan couldn't trap it. Tiancan was a martial cultivator, but he was unexpectedly thrown out.
Among the people present, except for Tian Zhiqian who maintained the formation, Ling Yunfei was the only one who hadn't done anything. His dual flying swords didn't seem special, so the others couldn't do anything. Presumably, he was the same.
The six of them could be considered the best among Core Formation cultivators, but they were helpless against this monster in front of them!
"Boom!" Another attack.
Everyone's faces turned pale. Ling Yunfei hesitantly asked, "What is this thing?
Spiritual Qi, Devil Qi, and sharp weapons are all unable to attack it. Could it be that they are unable to harm it at all? "
Ling Yunhe's expression was solemn as he added, "Even the Illusory Array can't trap it. Fellow Daoist Qin, am I right?"
Mo Tiange was dumbfounded. She didn't expect Ling Yunhe would notice this at such a critical moment.
She nodded. "That's right. My magic weapon can create an illusory formation, but this monster isn't affected."
When the others heard this, their expressions turned ugly.
Be it Immortal Cultivators or Devil Cultivators, there were only a few ways to attack.
The first was Spiritual Qi and Devil Qi, the second was a sharp weapon attack that relied on magic treasures, and the third was a deceitful attack like an array formation.
Ling Yunhe's and Yang Chengji's attacks proved that the first method was useless. Tiancan proved the second method. If Mo Tiange proved the third method, they would really be helpless against this giant ape.
Boom!
The spiritual energy shield around the six of them trembled, and its glow dimmed significantly. Tian Zhiqian's expression was strained, and beads of sweat rolled down his face.
This was already the third time. His protective barrier could only last two more times.
"Scatter!" Ling Yunhe made a decision the next moment.
He glanced at the others and said hurriedly, "I'll lure this monster away. You guys go back to the entrance of the valley. If I'm fine, I'll come back to look for you!"
"Second Brother!" Ling Yunfei was shocked. "Then you …"
The others were also surprised. With this giant ape's ability, if he lured it away by himself, it would probably be a disaster. Did Ling Yunhe want to sacrifice himself to protect the others?
Boom! The fourth time.
Ling Yunhe didn't have time to explain. He just said hurriedly, "Yunfei, protect Brother Tian."
Boom!
The fifth time, the spiritual energy shield collided with the giant ape's arm, emitting a dazzling white light. Then, the shield trembled. After holding on for several seconds, it finally broke and disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, Ling Yunhe stretched out his right hand, and the crescent moon jade knife on the ground flew back into his hand. He swung it, and the jade knife flew towards the giant ape with a sharp spiritual aura.
With a "Chi" sound, the jade knife cut through the aura around the giant ape. Soon after, the giant ape raised its arm, and the jade knife stopped in front of its arm.
Ling Yunhe clenched his teeth and made a hand seal, injecting spiritual aura into the jade knife. The jade knife flew forward half an inch and touched the giant ape's knuckles.
"Wu!" The giant ape let out a long howl and swung its arm, once again throwing the jade knife.
"Pu!"
Ling Yunhe spat out a mouthful of blood, but this time, he didn't have time to adjust his breath. He grabbed some medicinal pills from his robe and stuffed them into his mouth. Then he dashed away. At the same time, the jade knife flew back into his hand.
The giant ape clumsily turned around and looked at Ling Yunhe. In the end, it started to chase after Ling Yunhe.
The others breathed sighs of relief and immediately scattered, choosing a direction to fly away. Among them, Ling Yunfei was always protecting Tian Zhiqian, advancing and retreating together with him.
Mo Tiange also chose a direction at random. Just as she was about ten miles away, Feifei's voice entered her ears. "Master, I'll go take a look!"
Just now, she didn't fasten the spiritual beast pouch, so when it spoke, Feifei had already jumped out and ran back.
"Feifei!" Mo Tiange stopped for a moment then chased after it. "What are you doing?"
"Master, don't move!" Feifei turned around and looked at her. "I won't be in danger, but you won't necessarily be safe if you go."
"…" Seeing Feifei turn around again and nimbly disappear among the rocks, Mo Tiange helplessly patted her head.
How could she forget that Feifei was no longer the Feifei from before? Now, it was her, its master, who was being despised.
But since Feifei said so, there shouldn't be any danger, right?
Feifei could live in peace with other spiritual beasts, even ferocious beasts. However, this giant ape was clearly a monster, so she didn't know whether it could be counted as a spiritual beast or not …
With that thought in mind, Mo Tiange hesitated for a moment but still flew back. She just slowed down her speed.
When she returned to her original position, there was no one around. The others had already scattered and fled for their lives. There was no trace of Feifei or that giant ape.
Mo Tiange thought for a moment then laid a Defense Formation around her and sat down cross-legged.
She trusted Feifei's ability. Even if something were to happen, she would be here to support her.
After a while, a cultivator's aura appeared around her. His cultivation level should be in the middle stage of the Core Formation realm.
A black shadow flew closer and closer. It was Tiancan.
Upon seeing Mo Tiange, he hesitated for a moment then walked towards her. "Fellow Daoist Qin, you didn't leave?"
"…" Mo Tiange didn't know how to explain this to him, so she said, "No, I just came back.
How come Fellow Daoist Tiancan also came back? "
Tiancan looked around and said, "I waited for a long time and thought it might be safer, so I came back to take a look.
Fellow Daoist Qin Wei, how long have you been back? How's the situation? "
Mo Tiange shook her head. "I came back not long ago. There's been no movement, so I don't know what's going on."
Tiancan was silent. After a while, he also sat down next to her and waited.
The two of them sat cross-legged. After waiting for a long time, they sensed another cultivator's aura coming from the edge of their divine senses.
This time, it was Yang Chengji who came back. His face was pale, the corners of his mouth were stained with blood, and he staggered.
Upon seeing Mo Tiange and Tiancan, he was startled. He narrowed his eyes and vigilance flashed across his eyes. "Fellow Daoists, why did you come back?"
"Didn't Fellow Daoist Yang also come back?" Tiancan snorted with a displeased attitude.
Tiancan's words softened Yang Chengji's attitude. He said, "I encountered a sixth rank magical beast about 50 kilometers away from here. Since I was injured, I could only barely kill it.
If I flew further, I didn't know what kind of strange things I would encounter, so I simply turned back. "
No wonder he looked so distressed. It seemed he had gone through another hard battle.
Mo Tiange looked at Yang Chengji and asked, "How's Fellow Daoist Yang's injury?"
Upon hearing her question, Yang Chengji looked at her vigilantly and said, "It's not a big deal. I just need to rest for a while."
Mo Tiange nodded. "Fellow Daoist Yang, you should take this opportunity to rest for a while."
Yang Chengji cautiously looked at the two of them for a long time until Tiancan said impatiently, "What are you afraid of?
We won't get any benefits from killing you now. Even if we get your magic weapon, it'll be useless if we can't get out! "
Upon hearing this, Yang Chengji's expression became a little better. He nodded at Mo Tiange then sat down in her formation and swallowed some medicinal pills to heal his injury.
Mo Tiange looked at him, shook her head helplessly and looked away.
Yang Chengji was even more suspicious than she was. He didn't dare to believe others who were nice to him, but Tiancan was rude to him, so he didn't doubt him.
The three of them sat there for a long time, but nothing happened. Ling Yunhe didn't come back and the giant ape didn't turn around.
"Fellow Daoist Qin," Tiancan said, "What do you think is the current situation?"
Mo Tiange opened her eyes and pondered for a while. Then she said, "No news is good news."
Tiancan was stunned, then he sighed and nodded.
She was right. In this situation, if there was news, it would most likely not be good news. They had seen the giant ape's ability with their own eyes. Ling Yunhe was definitely not its match if he went alone. Even if he could escape safely, he couldn't come out unscathed.
Thinking about this, the three of them were a little dumbfounded.
They were worried Ling Yunhe would turn against them later, but they didn't expect he would be willing to lead the danger away in the face of danger.
Did he have a secret method to escape or was he really trustworthy?
Mo Tiange thought about it for a long time and sighed inwardly.
The higher one's cultivation level was, the more cautious they were and the more they didn't dare to trust the kindness of others.
When the danger came just now, if everyone ran for their lives separately, maybe they wouldn't be as confused as they were now. After all, although they were invited by Ling Yunhe, they all received benefits from him. It was just a business deal, not a friendship.
Of course, when she thought of Feifei, Mo Tiange felt Ling Yunhe was most likely still alive. But she also couldn't figure out the reason why Ling Yunhe made such a decision.
In this cultivation world, it was too difficult to believe other people just had good intentions.
