Chapter 58: Moths Flying into Flames

  Always wondering, so many man-eating apes have come from all around, where did the two high-ranking imperial guards go?

  As soon as Lin Yun heard the three words "man-eating apes", he already understood that, if nothing unexpected happened, the two imperial guards had already been eaten alive by these cruel man-eating apes.

  It's worth noting that the two imperial guards were genuine martial arts masters, but even so, the two imperial guards didn't even get a chance to report back before being swallowed up by these man-eating apes. What does this show?

  Not daring to be the slightest bit careless, with a flash of his brow, a purple sword appeared in his right hand. Without regard for whether Huang Shan was willing or not, he grabbed Huang Shan's small hand and prepared to make a sudden break out.

  "Lin Yun, can we get out of here alive?"

  "Don't worry, even if I die, I will definitely see you safely out."

  Even if I die, I will definitely send you out safely, even if I die, I will definitely send you out safely.

  Huang Shan, who was originally very afraid, heard these two sentences and didn't know why, but her fear dissipated. She tightly grasped the young man's hand with her small hands and whispered: "I can take care of myself."

  In this case, Lin Yun didn't even hear what Huang Shan was saying behind him, because the man-eating apes around them had already opened their bloody mouths and were swarming in, not daring to be careless. As for these man-eating spirits, he really disliked them, so before the man-eating ape arrived in front of him, he had already swung out the purple sword tightly held in his hand.

  Sword energy, cold sword energy, burst out in an instant, no matter what, the man-eating ape is always a first-class spiritual beast, and its defensive power is not too strong. If it weren't for the group attack, the man-eating ape would be nothing. Maybe the first sword energy can't kill a man-eating ape, but how about two? Three?

  To protect the imperial princess behind him, Lin Yun could be said to have used all his might, the purple sword in his hand constantly swinging out, immediately forming a sword curtain around him, the cannibal apes outside were unable to enter, and could only continuously roar outside, and even so, one by one, the cannibal apes fell to the ground.

  Watching his companions fall one by one, the remaining man-eating apes seemed to have lost all sense of awareness, still crazily attacking the sword curtain. Seeing this situation, Lin Yun already knew that these man-eating apes had no thoughts whatsoever, only knowing the concept of eating. If it was like this, then everything would be easy to handle.

  At first, he was thinking about how to break through, but now it seems that the best way is to stay in place and continuously kill the man-eating apes with his sword energy. According to this situation, the man-eating apes' behavior of flying into the fire will eventually lead to their own extinction. The only result of doing so is that he has to work a bit harder.

  Sword curtain was formed, Lin Yun also released Huang Shan, right hand swung sword, left hand from time to time swung out a fire curtain, double pipes down, this effect is even better, in just a few minutes, has already killed more than 50 man-eating apes.

  "It smells terrible."

  Does it smell good?

  When Lin Yun heard Huang Shan's words, he didn't even bother with other things and took a deep breath. As expected, the stench was like a corpse that had been rotting for a year. There was no need to ask, this smell was 100% coming from the dead man-eating ape.

  "Lin Yun, is there any way you can break out?"

  Nodding, don't mention Huang Shan, a young girl's home, even if he is a big man, it's really hard to bear. Waving the purple sword in his hand, he was escorted by the sword curtain and slowly moved towards other directions. The cannibal apes guarding outside could only keep attacking, and couldn't do anything else besides this.

  As the sword screen continued to shift, more and more of the man-eating apes that were outside the sword screen died. The original two hundred or so man-eating apes had dwindled down to less than ten. Seeing this situation, Lin Yun directly cancelled the sword screen and used Ling Bo Micro Step, his entire body turning into a series of wind shadows as he continuously slaughtered the remaining man-eating apes. One ape fell, two apes fell, and in just a short while, the last ten or so man-eating apes also all fell to the ground without getting up.

  On the ground, two hundred corpses of man-eating apes emitted a foul odor that spread in all directions, and both people seemed to feel nauseous. Who dared to stay any longer? They disappeared directly under the dark moonlight.

  Not long after the two left, countless man-eating apes reappeared around them. Looking far away, it was simply a mountain and sea of apes, densely packed together, with at least several thousand heads. The one standing in front of the several thousand, nearly four meters tall, looked at the two hundred corpses on the ground and let out a continuous angry roar towards the sky.

  Man-eating Ape King, born with a third-level spiritual beast, possesses the most evil attribute power, also known as dark attribute power. Among the many powers in the world, eight main attribute powers are used as the main force, such as ice attributes and fog attributes. These powers are called righteous powers by the world, while powers like dark attribute power are called evil powers.

  The Man-Eating Ape King was sniffing something fiercely, and suddenly, the Man-Eating Ape King glared in the direction where Lin Yun and the others had just left, letting out a furious roar. Immediately after, more than two thousand Man-Eating Apes charged towards that direction, swarming like an army of man-eaters. Everything in their path, regardless of what kind of spiritual beast, was swallowed up.

  As the cannibal ape king led his cannibal ape army in pursuit of the two, neither Huang Shan nor Lin Yun were aware of it. After barely escaping with their lives, they were both quite exhausted and found a relatively quiet place to rest for a while. It wasn't until the next morning when the dawn broke over the entire Heavenly Punishment Forest that the two woke up from their respective dreams.

  "What should we do next?"

  "We?" He seemed to be in a daze, after all, he had entered the Heavenly Punishment Forest alone this time just to obtain his innate martial technique. Now that he possessed three innate martial techniques, it was absolutely impossible for others to know about it. Otherwise, people in this world would definitely capture him and study him thoroughly. After all, a small, innate martial artist actually possessed two innate martial techniques with the same attribute, as well as a powerful martial technique. It was like finding a duckling among a brood of chicks.

  "I'm scared, the six Imperial Guards I brought with me are all dead, and now I'm the only one left. How can I possibly leave this haunted place? So, can you please temporarily take me in? I'll definitely return this favor to you someday."

  It's human nature again.

  Even if he had 10,000 unwillingness in his heart, could he refuse?

  He can't possibly let such a beautiful girl stay here, what if she runs into a man-eating ape again?

  Just thinking of a group of man-eating apes swallowing up a pretty little girl, Lin Yun felt a chill run down his spine. He nodded and said, "I'll take you with me, but you have to promise me one thing, otherwise this is off the table."

  "Of course, I'll agree to anything, just say it," After the incident with the man-eating ape last night, Huang Shan seemed to have been frightened and didn't dare to leave the Heavenly Punishment Forest alone without anyone to protect her.

  "From this moment on, anything you see, especially about me, is not to be told to anyone, even your own family members, can I?"

  "No problem, I'm hungry now, shall we find something to eat first?"

  Upon hearing the word "eat", Lin Yun also suddenly felt his solo self in constant protest, last night's consumption was too intense, and if he didn't replenish some energy early this morning, even if he encountered a suitable spiritual beast, it would all be useless.

  Having no other choice, Lin Yun temporarily caught two wild chickens in the forest and roasted them to eat. After finishing their meal, the two of them continued searching around the outer layer of the Heavenly Punishment Forest for a spiritual beast with an ice attribute, but after searching high and low, they still had nothing to show for it.

  "Why must you find a spirit beast with an ice attribute?"

  Huang Shan continued, "Your cultivation hasn't reached the level of a Pre-Heavenly Martial Artist, and you don't have a Pre-Heavenly physique either. In that case, find other spiritual beasts to search for spirits first. Wait until your cultivation breaks through to the Pre-Heavenly Martial Artist realm, then we can talk about the attributes of the spirit beast again."

  When Lin Yun heard Huang Shan's words, he suddenly realized that this made a lot of sense. He didn't necessarily have to find a spiritual beast with ice attributes now. Even if he lost the attribute power, as long as his cultivation could break through the boundaries of a pre-heavenly martial artist, he could still summon other attribute beasts later on. In that case, for now, he might as well use other powerful spiritual beasts to replace his original ice attribute power.

  He had figured it out, his innate martial skills didn't need to be strong in any way, as long as they were representative, just like a miniature of space would do, thinking of this, Lin Yun seemed to have a feeling of parting the clouds and seeing the blue sky, smiling and saying: "You're right, let's go find other powerful spirit beasts now."

  At present, Lin Yun has two innate martial skills, one is the fire attribute innate martial skill, which is Huo Mu, and the other is the spatial intelligence innate martial skill, which is Spatial Shrinkage. Once he acquires another innate martial skill, it will be a strength-based innate martial skill, not an attribute-based innate martial skill. If he wants to upgrade these two innate martial skills from strength to attribute power, unless he breaks through the boundary of Xiantian Martial Artist and receives the attribute heterogeneity, everything will go smoothly.

  Having thought this through, Lin Yun took Huang Sang to find other powerful spiritual beasts. However, he said that no matter what, he would not look for a spiritual beast with the power of water. After all, fire and water do not coexist harmoniously. Just because having ice and fire attributes in his body did not cause any problems at first does not mean that having fire and water attributes will also be fine. If something happens, there won't even be time to regret it.

  Nowadays, the spatial shadow, fire curtain and sword moves are all attacking martial skills, while Lingbo Weibu is a physical martial skill. He only lacks one defensive martial skill. To have a defensive ultimate martial skill, he must start with a spiritual beast that possesses earth-based power. After all, among the various powers, only the earth-based power has the strongest defense.
