Chapter 66: Heracles Ape

Ahwu——!

Those three peak rank five demonic beasts prostrated on the ground upon hearing that terrifying roar. Their bodies trembled as terror filled their eyes.

Ling Xiao saw the most terrifying scene he had seen since walking this land.

A gigantic ape 15 or 16 meters tall roared louder than thunder.

The tall trees blocking it were like weeds.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

With its every step, the ground would shake as if an earthquake had occurred.

“What the hell is this!”

Ling Xiao desperately circulated his gang qi, attempting to stabilize his spirit. However, that terrifying roar still shook his qi and blood, making his entire body feel uncomfortable. 

He even felt that his spirit seemed to want to fly out of his body.

Fortunately, his Landscape Martial Soul rapidly rotated, reducing this effect.

But even like this, his face was ghastly pale as if he had been seriously injured.

This state was as uncomfortable as when he had first exited the “Enter Soul” state.

“Pa!”

Like a fly, a peak rank five demonic beast was directly swatted by this giant ape’s hand. The giant ape then picked up the stunned beast, dropped it into its mouth, and chewed.

Goosebumps appeared all over Ling Xiao’s body.

This was too scary.

A peak rank five demonic beast was powerless in front of this fellow!

It was slapped to death like a poor fly and directly eaten.

Kacha!

Kacha!

Wherever this giant ape passed, all trees met disaster and were directly crushed beneath its terrifying brute force.

“Ahwu! Ahwu!”

The giant ape looked extremely excited, staring in Ling Xiao’s direction as if seeing some great prey.

Ling Xiao shuddered.

Even a person like him with firm determination hadn’t the will to resist this kind of monster.

However, his state was much better than those peak rank five demonic beasts that lay prostrate on the ground without moving.

“Heracles Ape, a peak rank eight demonic beast; its strength surpasses most Rank Nine Martial Vein martial artists. Its brute force can easily destroy a mountain!”

Looking at that giant ape, this information automatically appeared in his mind.

What bad luck!

This place was still in the periphery of the Crouching Dragon Mountain Range, but he actually encountered such a terrifying giant beast!

A peak rank eight demonic beast!

It was a more terrifying existence than most initial stage Rank Nine Martial Vein martial artists.

Ling Xiao, however, was only a trifling Peak Rank Four Martial Vein martial artist. He could barely handle a peak rank five demonic beast. Facing a peak rank eight demonic beast, he had no chance for survival.

Flee!

Ling Xiao didn’t think much. At this moment, he could only flee!

He would live if he fled!

He would die if he didn’t!

Boom!

However, as he escaped, a big tree landed in front of him.

“Not letting me escape?”

Ling Xiao almost gave up all hope.

What was this Heracles Ape doing? Did it want to leisurely enjoy its food?

Since he had no way to escape, he could only run to the depths of the forest.

He had to brave the depths of the depths of the Crouching Dragon Mountain Range where he might encounter beasts even more terrifying than a Heracles Ape.

He had no choice.

Staying here was as good as waiting for death!

Since there was no way to escape, he could only do the opposite. After all, he would then have a glimmer of hope.

“Kakaka!”

This time, the Heracles Ape didn’t stop him. Instead, it opened its mouth and let out a bark of laughter.

Yes, it was laughing at and ridiculing him!

Ling Xiao didn’t care. At this moment, he had only one thought: to flee from here!

After glancing at him, the Heracles Ape casually grabbed another peak rank five demonic beast and stuffed it into its mouth.

While snacking, it examined Ling Xiao who was running like mad into the forest.

“This tiny human is not bad. He’s actually still able to run under my pressure. Let’s play with him first! It won’t be too late to eat him after playing a bit.”

Heracles Ape’s expression clearly revealed his thoughts.

Thanks to the Landscape Martial Soul, Ling Xiao had avoided prostrating like those peak rank five demonic beasts who lacked the courage to escape.

Even seeing the Heracles Ape reaching for them, they still hadn’t dared to move.

The terrifying aura of a peak rank eight demonic beast imposed great pressure on their spirits, a terror that was indescribable.

“Kacha!”

The grinding of those peak rank five demonic beast’s bones clearly resounded in the forest. That Heracles Ape was definitely doing this on purpose.

Now, only one peak rank five demonic beast was left beside the ape. Ling Xiao knew that after eating that fellow, he would be its next target.

He used <Soaring Cloud Steps-Flood Dragon Transformation> with all his power. At this moment, he had no thought about concealing his strength.

Concealing strength in such a desperate moment would be courting death.

However, no matter how he ran, the Heracles Ape’s aura was firmly locked onto him regardless of his numerous turns.

Ling Xiao even threw those gang qi pills he had just obtained from the Black Scarf Thief trio into his mouth.

He ran for his life, so his gang qi consumption was naturally very big, which gang qi pills could replenish in addition to assisting in making a breakthrough.

Dear Readers. Scrapers have recently been devasting our views. At this rate, the site (creativenovels .com) might...let's just hope it doesn't come to that. If you are reading on a scraper site. Please don't.

In other words, he sprinted without worrying about lacking gang qi.

If the people of the Ling Clan could see his current speed, they would have absolutely called him a monster.

Even a Peak Rank Five Martial Vein martial artist, unless they specialized in movement techniques, would find it absolutely impossible to reach this level.

However, Ling Xiao didn’t relax at all.

Too slow!

Still too slow!

His current speed was beyond common sense to other people, but in the eyes of the Heracles Ape, it was even worth mentioning.

Ranks four, five, and six belonged to the gang qi stage while rank seven, eight, and nine belonged to the explosion qi stage.

The gang qi of this peak rank eight demonic beast was much stronger than Ling Xiao’s whose cultivation base was only at Peak Rank Four Martial Vein in terms of quality and quantity.

They were existences on different levels.

Anyone could tell this just by looking at the ape’s playful expression. Since it had dared to let him run, it didn’t fear Ling Xiao escaping from its claws.

“Kacha!”

The last peak rank five demonic beast was thrown into its mouth and eaten.

Then, this fellow burped and leisurely chased after him.

When passing by a river, it even stopped to drink a few mouthfuls.

Ling Xiao didn’t look back, but his vision field encompassed all-directions, so he knew what the Heracles Ape was doing.

He felt like a weak woman desperately running for her life while the Heracles Ape was a powerful pervert.

That fellow’s playful smile showed that it was just toying with him.

Ling Xiao, however, was not angry.

Although he felt unwell, this gave him a slim chance to escape.

If the Heracles Ape had directly rushed over and attacked, he would have died beyond a doubt.

“Those who underestimate me will regret it later! Including you, you arrogant beast!”

Ling Xiao calmed down.

That Heracles Ape wouldn’t chase him with its full power for a short time, so there was no need to panic.
