Chapter 803 A Mad Monkey

"What a strong aura of the fiend!"

Darren frowned when he felt that the evil spirit inside the cave was stronger than before.

It didn't take long for Darren and Finley to reach deep inside the cave.

To Darren's astonishment, the cave was empty. It had been full of black beetles as well as the black mutants before.

"What has happened there? Where are those creatures now?" Darren was puzzled.

Finley frowned and glanced around as a sense of foreboding filled him.

"Hurry up! We need to leave as soon as we find the Fiendish Root," Finley said as anxiety coursed through him.

Squeak. Squeak. Squeak.

The sound of crunching bones echoed through the cave.

"What are you guys looking for? Do you need my help?"

Darren and Finley were astonished when they heard the voice.

"Who are you?"

they asked, but there was no reply. Gradually, a short figure walked out from a narrow crack.

Bang.

When the figure tripped over a stone, the nervousness Darren and Finley had felt, turned to surprise.

Both Darren and Finley glanced at each other.

"Fuck, I fell over a stone? Just get out of my way!"

The figure stood and punched the stone on the ground.

That ordinary stone was not hurt at all. Instead, the little figure's fist began to bleed.

Darren and Finley were rendered speechless.

How weak was the creature if it couldn't even break a stone?

"Ahem, as I haven't eaten much recently, my strength has reduced significantly. I apologize for my outburst, though."

When the figure stepped out of the darkness, Darren and Finley saw that it was a monkey.

As soon as the monkey neared them, Darren's and Finley's hearts trembled as if they had received an electric shock.

However, the monkey hadn't put any pressure on Darren and Finley. On the contrary, it gave off a natural aura that intimidated other creatures.

"Darren, we must be careful. This monkey scares me. And the fear I feel is coming from the depths of my soul." Finley sent a secret message to Darren.

"I feel the same," Darren replied.

"We came here in search of a kind of herb. If something we did made you uncomfortable, please forgive us, sir." Darren was the first to speak.

"Well, you don't need to be so formal and apologetic. You can just call me bro.

Now, come and sit here."

The monkey was as polite as the farmer from the human race.

Both Darren and Finley felt their blood freeze when the monkey behaved so calmly and friendly.

"No, thanks. We just need to find the Fiendish Root, and then we'll leave. We don't want to bother you, bro." Finley waved his hand as he tri

t stand it anymore. He shook his head and probed the cave with his spiritual sense to look for the so-called Fiendish Root.

According to what he had been told, the Fiendish Root grew in wet underground surroundings. It would be easy to find as it would emit an extremely strong evil aura.

Darren found something after searching for a while.

He leaped a few feet forward, released a wave of blade and sword intents toward the dark red ground, and opened a cave ten thousand feet deep.

Darren jumped into the cave and followed the strong evil aura inside. When he reached the end, he was stunned.

There was no Fiendish Root here. Instead, the cave was full of heads. Most of these belonged to the black mutants.

They had died miserably—the remnants of their skulls were covered in claw marks, or their heads were cracked open, and their brains had been shattered.

The stench of death and rot made Darren want to throw up.

"The monkey is so ferocious. How could it be possible that it has no strength left now? Did he hide his power from Finley and me on purpose?" Darren looked serious as he tried to find answers to these questions.

The howl of the monkey reached Darren's ears. A shiver tingled his spine as he glanced at the creatures one final time. The scene was so tragic.

Darren focused his spiritual sense again as he tried to identify the location emitting the strongest evil aura.

Buzz.

Darren's brain trembled a little. He sensed a breath of fiendish aura that was so intense that it made his heart palpitate. It was almost as powerful as the moment when Darren sensed the first fiend ancestor's broken body.

"It's that monkey..."

Darren found that his spiritual sense had converged on that monkey.
