Chapter 180 Golden Silk Ape’s enemies

Qian Lei was stunned when he heard that. They’ve attended Ji Hongbin’s class and roughly knew about the relationship between soul beasts and humans.

After the peaceful coexistence of human beings and the beasts, the soul beasts were given specialized living space, which allowed both parties to maintain harmony. And the soul beasts in this Soul World were clearly simulated according to their original manner. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be any experience or anything interesting.

“What should we do, then?” Qian Lei asked doubtfully.

Lan Xuanyu said, “Tell it to bring us to his enemy, the soul beast it hates the most. Then, we will help him kill it. Just have it to leave the last kill of these soul beasts to us.”

Liu Feng and Qian Lei’s eyes lit up and gave Lan Xuanyu the thumbs-up sign together.

It was without a doubt that by doing so, they would naturally dispel the Gold Silk Ape’s unwillingness to hunt soul beasts for them and would also improve their relationship — it was truly the best choice.

Qian Lei quickly told the Gold Silk Ape their thoughts, and the Gold Silk Ape accepted the offer very easily. Also, it seemed quite excited and raised its front paws towards Lan Xuanyu.

Qian Lei said, “It wants you to enhance it by using your golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass.”

“No problem.” Lan Xuanyu naturally agreed.

The Gold Silk Ape let out a long roar and waved its front paws at them, then walked toward the woods.

Although it only had 1,000 years of cultivation, the intelligence of ape-type soul beasts were far superior to ordinary soul beasts. Lan Xuanyu thought to himself, ‘Even if we didn’t appear, that 1,000-year Palm Tree Bear wouldn’t be able to defeat this 1,000-year Gold Silk Ape.’

With the Gold Silk Ape, which was familiar with the forest, leading the way, the trio was much more relaxed; at least they didn’t have to worry about sudden attacks.

Lan Xuanyu didn’t care which direction the Gold Silk Ape wanted to go. This Gold Silk Ape was very intelligent, and it would only bring them to opponents that he could fight against with Lan Xuanyu’s enhancement. As for them, they still had a lot of time and they weren’t rushing to go deeper into the forest. They had to make good use of the Gold Silk Ape to hunt as many soul beasts as possible.

They walked for over half an hour, yet it felt like they had covered the journey they took half a day to walk yesterday. Then, the Gold Silk Ape suddenly slowed down and lowered its body slightly like it was looking for something.

The trio followed behind, and without having to prompt him, Qian Lei had already tried to communicate with the Gold Silk Ape.

“It said that its enemies are nearby, and they are three 1,000-year Gold-eyed Leopards. These Gold-eyed Leopards had eaten the Gold Silk Ape’s child before and is a mortal enemy. Let us help it kill those three fellas.” Qian Lei whispered to Lan Xuanyu.

Lan Xuanyu’s gaze moved. The soul beast that they had to deal with was much stronger than what he expected. He didn’t think that the Gold Silk Ape would actually have such a strong enemy — the Gold-eyed Leopard was considered extremely strong among soul beasts. Also, they were usually in a group; there may not be many of them, but it was still a considerable number, usually three to seven of them together.

They were fast and highly aggressive. Their main means of attacking were to use their sharp claws and bites that could tear your flesh up. But this was not the most terrifying part — their strongest point was having an innate ability.

If we used the system of a Soul Master to evaluate them, the Gold-eyed Leopard was definitely an agility type. But the most unique part of it was that they could also suppress agility type, and this was brought about by its innate ability.

Its innate ability was the Gold-eyed Stare — it could cause its opponent’s body to freeze. The duration of the freeze was determined by the difference in both parties’ cultivation, but it was still a period of freezing. With the speed of the Gold-eyed Leopard, even a short moment was enough to kill its opponent.

Lan Xuanyu measured the difference in strength between the Gold Silk Ape and the Gold-eyed Leopard in his head. The Gold Silk Ape’s defense was definitely stronger, and its gold hair attack was also quite a threat to the Gold-eyed Leopard. But in terms of speed, the Gold-eyed Leopard was much faster, and it also possessed the Gold-eyed Stare. One against three, the Gold Silk Ape would lose for sure. But right now, with the three of them, there was a chance of winning, but the key was how were they going to fight.

“Ask the Gold Silk Ape what are the cultivations of those three Gold-eyed Leopards. How many years were they?”

Qian Lei answered very quickly, “About 1,500 years.”

After Lan Xuanyu heard that, he heaved a sigh of relief. This Gold Silk Ape was about 2,000 years cultivation and if the Gold-eyed Leopard was 1,500 years, they might have a chance in winning. If they were 3,000 years and above, he would probably have to leave with his partners immediately. There was no chance at all.

“Alright, let’s help the Gold Silk Ape. Prepare for battle.” Lan Xuanyu said without hesitation.

The Gold Silk Ape glanced at the trio after getting Qian Lei’s confirmation, its gaze turned slightly gentler and it nodded towards them. After that, it leaped up on the big tree ahead and let out a shrilling and long howl.

“It is attracting those three Gold-eyed Leopards over.” Lan Xuanyu said, “Gold-eyed Leopards move very swiftly and they’re highly sensitive, so a sneak attack is impossible. Attracting them over is good too; we must go all-out. Qian Lei, get ready to summon.”

The Gold Silk Ape stood on a large branch of the tree and used its fists to thump its chest. That sharp howling was filled with bitterness, hate, and an intention to kill.

Lan Xuanyu’s team squatted in the bush and waited quietly. Lan Xuanyu had also communicated the tactic to be used later to the Gold Silk Ape through Qian Lei.

These were three 1,000-year soul beasts and if they could successfully kill them, it would definitely increase their score greatly.

Just at this moment, there were rustling sounds. Three figures quickly appeared at the top of the tree. They came separately, yet they quickly got together and slowly came to a stop when they were a distance away from the Gold Silk Ape. It was clear that they were a little fearful of this Gold Silk Ape.

Three figures appeared in the trees indistinctly; it was obvious that this area was their territory. Many soul beasts had very strong territorial instincts, not to mention that the Gold Silk Ape was provoking them intentionally.

“Roar!” The Gold Silk Ape opened its mouth wide and let out a ferocious roar towards those three 1,000-year Gold-eyed Leopards.

Lan Xuanyu could roughly see that these three 1,000-year Gold-eyed Leopards were not very big in size: their bodies were about two meters long, but their limbs were very muscular. Their claws appeared as they grabbed onto the tree firmly and looked coldly at the Gold Silk Ape.

“Roar!” The Gold Silk Ape let out an angry roar again. It couldn’t be held back anymore as it pounced toward that 1,000-year Gold-eyed Leopard that was nearest to it. It stepped on the tree trunk with both feet and propelled itself forward like an arrow.

That Gold-eyed Leopard didn’t panic and didn’t seem like it had the intention to dodge. It stood on the tree branch without moving. Instead, the other two Gold-eyed Leopards pounced forward and charged directly toward the back of the Gold Silk Ape.

With a flash of the gold light, the targeted Gold-eyed Leopard released its innate ability, the Gold-eyed Stare. The Gold Silk Ape that was in midair went blank and immediately lost balance.

Those two Gold-eyed Leopards charged from behind and scratched its neck and back with their sharp claws. These three Gold-eyed Leopards that lived together obviously worked very well together. The Gold-eyed Leopard in front pounced as well, and its sharp claws landed on the Gold Silk Ape’s head.

Seeing that the Gold Silk Ape was about to be caught in a siege of those three Gold-eyed Leopards, and its body was still in midair as it lost its balance, there was no way it could fight back.

But just at this moment, a golden-patterned vine suddenly rose up and immediately wrapped around the ankle of the 1,000-year Gold Silk Ape. The vine pulled on it firmly and immediately changed the forward trajectory of the Gold Silk Ape that lost control of its body, landing it directly on the ground. Not just that, the gold hair on its body released a radiant light and the Gold Silk Ape was clear-headed instantly.
