In the depths of the forest, a violent Spiritual Energy swept out like a gale. The powerful Spiritual Energy pressure caused all the sounds in the forest to become dead silent. Some of the Spiritual Beasts in the distance fled for their lives as they sensed the rage of the Silver-Horned Panther Dragon.
The Conflagration Ape King's originally scarlet eyes also retreated under the pressure of the Spiritual Energy. A faint trace of fear appeared on its ugly face. Although it had just broken through to the peak of a Middle Rank Spiritual Beast, the Silver-Horned Panther Dragon in front of it was a genuine High Rank Spiritual Beast!
The Conflagration Ape King's huge body curled up a little as it stared at the Silver-Horned Panther Dragon in fear. Its body showed signs of retreating, it was obviously planning to escape.
"Roar!"
However, the Silver-Horned Panther Dragon, who had just lost its son, would not let the murderer in front of it go so easily. Its cold eyes were filled with rage and cruelty. Its sharp claws slowly rubbed against the ground, and waves of extremely violent Spiritual Energy ripples were constantly being emitted.
Boom.
The Conflagration Ape King suddenly turned around and ran. The ferocity it had when it was chasing after Mu Chen had disappeared. Under the threat of death, it had obviously forgotten about Mu Chen.
The Silver-Horned Panther Dragon coldly stared at the escaping Conflagration Ape King. Its huge body slightly lowered and in the next instant, Spiritual Energy burst out like a flood. A bright silver light enveloped the Silver-Horned Panther Dragon and a muffled sound rang out. The Silver-Horned Panther Dragon turned into a silver light and shot out.
Swoosh!
The silver light tore through the sky at a speed that could not be detected by the naked eye. Before Mu Chen could react, an ear-piercing tearing sound came from afar. He looked over and saw that the Conflagration Ape King had already stopped running. On its back, there was a half-meter-long bloody hole and its internal organs had completely disappeared.
On the ground in front of the Conflagration Ape King, the Silver-Horned Panther Dragon shook its body to get rid of the blood stains on its body. Then, it slowly walked back.
Bang.
The Conflagration Ape King's huge body crashed onto the ground and fresh blood flowed out. It was obviously dead.
One hit, instant kill!
Mu Chen's heart skipped a beat. 'Is this the power of a high rank spiritual beast? It's terrifying indeed.' He exclaimed in his heart, but his body did not move at all as he lay on the ground. Even his breathing was lowered to the minimum as the Spiritual Energy circulating in his body was completely absorbed into his qi sea.
If he were to be discovered by the Silver-Horned Panther Dragon, his ending would not be any better than the Conflagration Ape King.
Fortunately, the Silver-Horned Panther Dragon wasn't in the mood to probe a small human like him. It walked back to the One-Horned Panther Dragon's side, cupped its corpse, and let out a mournful cry. Finally, it carried the corpse and slowly walked into the depths of the forest.
Mu Chen watched as the Silver-Horned Panther Dragon disappeared. He didn't get up immediately. Instead, he waited for about ten minutes before standing up carefully.
He vigilantly looked around before quickly walking to the Conflagration Ape King's corpse. He took out a dagger and cut open its head. Immediately, a ball of red light rose.
This was the Conflagration Ape King's soul essence. Within the ball of flame-like light, there was a miniature Conflagration Ape. A powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuation was quietly emitted.
Mu Chen put the Conflagration Ape King's soul essence into his clothes and then used the dagger to cut off the Conflagration Ape King's head. After doing this, just when he was about to leave, his footsteps suddenly stopped. After pondering for a while, he came to the place where the One-Horned Panther Dragon had died. There was still a large pool of dark red sticky blood on the ground.
Mu Chen took out a bottle and carefully stored the blood into it. Then, he put it into his clothes and quickly left.
Just when Mu Chen was dealing with the big problem that he was facing, trouble also appeared in the valley.
Roar roar!
The silence in the valley was completely broken at this moment. Many fiery-red giant apes angrily stared at the humans in the depths of the valley. They grabbed huge rocks and ruthlessly threw them out. The large number of them forced the people in the depths of the valley into an especially difficult situation.
"Damn it. These bastards actually all woke up."
Lin Zhong and the others dodged the huge rocks in a difficult situation. They looked at the crowd of Conflagration Apes in the distance and their faces were extremely ugly. Previously, when Mu Chen lured the Conflagration Ape King away, although they had already sped up, they did not expect the hypnotized Conflagration Apes to wake up one after another. Now, they were directly blocked in this place.
"What do we do now?"
Tang Qian'Er, Mo Ling and the others' faces were a little pale. Their mental fortitude was not as good as Lin Zhong and the others. The scene in front of them made their legs feel a little weak.
"Prepare to rush out."
Lei Cheng said in a deep voice. On his back was a bag that constantly emitted a dark green light. A delicate fragrance also drifted out along with it.
"Lin Zhong, bring some people to take care of them. Don't let anything happen."
Lei Cheng said. After all, they were all veterans with rich experience. However, Tang Qian'Er and the others were newbies without any experience. If there was an accident and they fell into the crowd of Conflagration Apes, they would probably be torn apart in an instant.
"Okay."
Lin Zhong and the others also nodded their heads. They no longer ridiculed the Northern Spiritual Academy students for not having any guts. Previously, when Mu Chen lured the Conflagration Ape King away by himself, even their hearts were a little shaken. They understood that if it was not for Mu Chen's actions, they might not be able to escape today.
"Let's go!"
Lei Cheng gripped the long blade in his hand and his eyes turned sharp. A dense Spiritual Energy was emitted and he took the lead and directly rushed into the crowd of Conflagration Apes. His blade shot out and tore a path open.
The members of the Thunderstorm Team followed closely. Tang Qian'Er and the others were in the center of their protection. The group of people pushed their Spiritual Energy to the extreme and the sharp blade formed a line of defense. They blocked all the Conflagration Apes that pounced at them.
Bang bang bang!
Although Lei Cheng, a Spiritual Rotation Stage Initial Phase powerhouse, was leading the team, there were still too many Conflagration Apes. Therefore, not long after the group passed through, some of the members of the Thunderstorm Team were injured. However, they gritted their teeth and persisted. Their palms that were holding onto the long blade were constantly bleeding.
"Damn it!"
Lei Cheng split a Conflagration Ape in half with one slash. However, even more Conflagration Apes pounced at him. This caused him to curse angrily. His heart gradually became anxious. Are we really going to be buried in this valley today?
Tang Qian'Er, Mo Ling and the others also looked at the fierce Conflagration Apes with pale faces. However, just when their hearts were filled with despair, they saw the crowd of Conflagration Apes in front of them suddenly become chaotic. The Conflagration Apes seemed to have seen something terrifying. They all retreated and let out fearful cries.
"What's going on?"
Lei Cheng and the others looked at this scene in astonishment. Their gazes looked not far away and saw a thin figure of a boy leaping out.
"It's Mu Chen!"
When Tang Qian'Er and the others saw the familiar figure, they were instantly surprised. They did not know why. Although they knew that Mu Chen's strength was far from Lei Cheng's, the confidence that the latter gave them far surpassed Lei Cheng's.
"What is he holding in his hand?"
Lin Zhong and the others could clearly see that Mu Chen was holding a huge thing in his hand. The fear of the surrounding Conflagration Apes seemed to originate from that thing.
"It's a head."
Lei Cheng was stunned. His eyes were immediately filled with astonishment, "It's the head of the Conflagration Ape King!"
"What?!"
Lin Zhong and the others were shocked. Their eyes were filled with horror. Did Mu Chen kill the Conflagration Ape King?
"Come quickly!"
While they were still in shock, Mu Chen shouted at them. At the same time, he raised the head of the Conflagration Ape King. The surrounding Conflagration Apes immediately retreated in fear. In their eyes, the Conflagration Ape King was already a terrifying existence. How strong would the person who killed the Conflagration Ape King be?
Their lack of intelligence made them unable to think deeply. They could only rely on their instincts to feel fear.
"Let's go!"
Lei Cheng was overjoyed. He hurriedly waved his hand and brought everyone to charge through the Conflagration Apes' encirclement. Finally, they arrived beside Mu Chen. As they approached, they could clearly see the ugly head that was still dripping blood. It was indeed the Conflagration Ape King.
Lei Cheng and Lin Zhong exchanged glances with each other. They could see the shock in each other's eyes. Exactly how did Mu Chen do it?
Mu Chen did not care about what they were thinking. He quickly led them out of the valley and placed the Conflagration Ape King's head at the entrance of the valley. The Conflagration Apes were so scared that they did not dare to come out.
The group of people turned around and ran. Only when they were far away from the valley did they fall down in exhaustion. Even Lei Cheng was sweating profusely and panting.
Mu Chen also sat his butt under the tree. He felt that all the bones in his body were about to fall apart. This time, it was really thrilling and he almost died.
"Are you alright?"
Tang Qian'er came to Mu Chen's side. Her beautiful eyes were shining as she stared at the young man in front of her. It was obvious that the latter had given her quite a bit of shock today.
"I'm alright."
Mu Chen smiled. He then raised his head and saw that Lei Cheng, Lin Zhong, Mo Ling and the others were staring at him in a daze. It was obvious that they had not recovered from the fact that Mu Chen had saved them by carrying the Conflagration Ape King's head.
"Don't look anymore. I was just lucky. I don't have the strength to kill the Conflagration Ape King."
Mu Chen shook his head in annoyance. He then looked at Lei Cheng and smiled: "However, Big Brother Lei Cheng, the mission was completed perfectly. Now, we should split the spoils right?"
"Haha."
Lei Cheng could not help but laugh when he heard this. He took down the bag on his back and opened it. Suddenly, a dazzling jadeite light overflowed in all directions. A thick fragrance caused everyone's eyes to light up.
Mu Chen also looked at the bag. He looked at the plump Jadeite Fruit and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. After working so hard, he finally did not lose anything.
