C122

Suddenly, something strange happened!

No one had expected that there would be such a powerful person hidden within the ape herd. Even a high ranked black armored martial artist could not defend against it, and all of them turned pale with fright.

The black shadow leaped high into the air after colliding with the hunters blocking its way. It brandished its long ape arm and grabbed at the astrologer standing in the middle. Its five fingers were as sharp as daggers, and they flashed with a cold light!

Accompanied by a blood-curdling screech, the black shadow swept past the heads of the hunters, spraying blood with a fishy stench, and landed on the forested ground a few steps away.

Only now did the hunters get a clear look of the attacker.

Black Ape King!

This was the leader of the ape herd, a tier two savage beast!

Without a doubt, it was extremely cunning. Previously, it had been hiding behind the back the entire time, patiently waiting until the right moment to launch a sneak attack on the astrologer. Obviously, it believed the latter to be the greatest threat.

The Black Ape King almost succeeded. If it wasn't for the powerful protective technique called the "Barrier of Wind" that Guru Bai grasped, his frail body would probably have already been penetrated by the ape's claw at this moment.

The price for failure was that there was a deep wound on its body that could be seen through to the bone, and it was currently bleeding profusely.

"Whiz!" "Whiz!" "Whiz!"

The few hunters shot their bolts at the Black Ape King.

The Black Ape King stared at the bald martial artist with an incomparably venomous gaze before swiftly turning around and dashing into the bushes, disappearing without a trace in the span of a breath.

Along with it, the Black Demon Mountain Ape disappeared!

"Damn beast!"

The bald warrior spat on the ground and kept his broadsword.

His mission was to protect Master Bai, he'd already made a mistake earlier and couldn't continue to make a mistake — for example, chasing and killing the Black Ape King that had already fled.

As such, he could only helplessly watch as this cunning savage beast fled into the distance.

The Wilderness was the home of savage beasts. They had their own natural advantages, and even the powerful Star Warriors couldn't do as they pleased. On the contrary, they had to be extremely cautious.

"Don't worry about it..."

The elderly astrologer did not blame his followers. He said lightly, "They won't appear for the time being. Let's take a break and continue our journey."

The bald warrior bowed and said, "As you command."

Resting was necessary. The battle had been very sudden and tragic. The Black Demon Mountain Ape had left behind more than 30 corpses, and the expedition team had lost three hunters and injured more than a dozen of them.

The atmosphere was a bit depressing.

Although the hunters were used to death, they could only watch helplessly as their companions died.

However, their professional qualities were still there. Xiahou Chen commanded them to clean up the battlefield, and those who had time would either sit down and rest, or take out their dry rations and wine to eat and drink.

The road ahead would only be more dangerous.

"Thank you …"

Tie Shan patted Nie Feng on the shoulder and said, "It's all thanks to you for coming quick. You saved me once again."

Speaking of which, he still had some lingering fears. These Black Demon Mountain apes were really ferocious and had a large number of them. Moreover, they were very adept at ambushing and attacking.

Nie Feng smiled and said, "Go back and buy yourself a drink."

His relationship with Iron Mountain did not require much polite words.

After the team had rested for half an hour, all the corpses of the Black Demon Mountain apes were taken care of and the wounded were treated. Fortunately, none of the injuries were too severe. Otherwise, it would be a problem whether they could continue walking forward.

It was all thanks to Master Bai that he had brought the antidote with him. The effects were excellent, otherwise the injured hunters would not have been able to recover so quickly. The poison on the fingernails of the Black Demon Mountain apes were quite potent.

But the three hunters were buried forever in this dark forest.

Their corpses were buried on the spot, and their weapons and dry rations were taken away by their companions. It sounded heartless, but this was the rule of the Wilderness Hunters — they did not waste any useful resources.

In reality, many hunters had died in the Wilderness, and not even their bones remained.

They seemed to have learned their lesson from their morning defeat. They no longer rushed forward to fight with the hunters, but instead relied on their advantage of being proficient in climbing trees, constantly using stones to attack from afar.

The Black Demon Mountain Apes flew freely on the trees, using the vines to quickly retreat. Their rogue tactics gave the hunters headaches, but they had no way of dealing with it.

The arm of the Black Demon Mountain Ape was long and powerful. The rocks it threw out were powerful enough to easily break a bowl-sized tree at a distance of dozens of steps.

And they ran away after they lost the stones, and then they found new ones to keep attacking.

The hunters used their hunting bows and crossbows to counterattack, but the result was not good. The cunning Black Demon Mountain apes were constantly shifting their positions. Their agility and agility were very fast, and ordinary arrows could not hurt them at all.

Only Nie Feng and the girl archer were able to pose a threat to them and cause them casualties. The latter was also a follower of Master Bai. She possessed a longbow and had great archery skills.

"Alright." Master Bai already stopped his attack, it was all thanks to the bald man's protection. The reason why the team was still able to move forward, most of the credit should go to Nie Feng and the girl archer, causing the Black Demon Mountain apes to not dare to be too unbridled.

Even so, under the constant onslaught of the Black Demon Mountain apes, the troop's speed was greatly reduced.

Master Bai's order was to keep walking!

The sky was about to turn dark, and there was still a long way to go before they could reach their destination.

A layer of shadow quietly covered the hearts of many of the hunters.
