Chapter 179: Deep in the Magical Beast Mountain Range

Deep in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, a young man dressed in black clothes and holding a large blade was fighting a black giant ape.

This giant ape had a massive body, emitted a terrifying aura, and stood over three zhang tall, looking incomparably fierce.

The young man swung the large blade in his hand, continuously hacking at the black giant ape. The moment the large blade made contact with the black giant ape, energy ripples were produced, and a powerful force erupted from the large blade, forcing the black giant ape to retreat.

"Awoo!" The black giant ape roared, hammering its chest with its fists to vent the anger in its heart.

As the black giant ape continuously hammered its chest, its aura surged, like a landslide or a tsunami, rushing straight into the clouds.

The black giant ape raised its massive fist, which was like a small hill, and smashed it fiercely toward Xiao Yan. The power of this punch was enough to destroy a mountain peak.

The sound of "rumbling" resounded through the heavens and earth, and the entire space trembled because of it.

This black giant ape was discovered when Xiao Yan entered the interior of the Magical Beast Mountain Range to train. At that time, Xiao Yan had suffered a great deal at the hands of this black giant ape.

"Sigh! Knowing is one thing, but doing it is hard!" Xiao Yan said helplessly.

On one accidental occasion, the black giant ape ate the meat Xiao Yan had roasted with Exotic Fire, and from then on, it could not stop, actively acting as Xiao Yan's sparring partner. It did not attack as fiercely as before, only needing Xiao Yan to help it roast meat to eat.

"Could it be that the efforts of the past few months were all in vain?" Xiao Yan said somewhat unwillingly.

Sure enough, as soon as the black giant ape heard that Xiao Yan was going to help it roast meat, it immediately withdrew its aura and happily went to find prey.

After working hard for several months, Xiao Yan was only able to make the force produced by the Eight Extremities Collapse erupt at the same point. Although the power had increased quite a bit, it was not as good as he had imagined.

The spot where Xiao Yan had just been was actually blasted into a huge pit by this punch.

But Xiao Yan had practiced hard for several months, and the force of the Eight Extremities Collapse had increased quite a bit. He could unleash more than thirty layers of force, but these forces still could not break through the black giant ape's defense.

Night had fallen, and such a rich fragrance naturally attracted quite a few magical beasts, but when these magical beasts looked at the black giant ape, they all ran away subconsciously.

Yao Lao was also afraid of scaring the black giant ape away. Seeing the black giant ape coming, he directly turned into a ball of white light and drilled into the ring.

Seeing this flame, the black giant ape subconsciously took two steps back. This flame had made it suffer quite a bit, and it did not want to endure that kind of pain again.

Seeing that the black giant ape seemed unable to wait, Xiao Yan knew that it was indeed tired after sparring with him all day, and he was also a bit hungry, so he walked directly to the corpse of this magical beast, which resembled a Tyrannosaurus Rex, and placed his palm on its body.

Fortunately, Xiao Yan ran fast, otherwise, he would have been smashed into a meat patty.

Looking at the black giant ape running continuously in the mountains and forests, Xiao Yan smiled slightly, then found a clean place and sat down cross-legged.

"Teacher, why am I still unable to break through its defense! It's been three months, and the strongest attack only left a shallow scratch on this black giant ape." Xiao Yan said helplessly to Yao Lao beside him.

"Didn't you think of a method before? Break the surface with a point, concentrate all attacks on one point, and then unleash it. The power will definitely be extraordinary." Seeing Xiao Yan no longer dejected, Yao Lao said with a faint smile.

After Xiao Yan roasted the magical beast corpse, he sprinkled quite a bit of seasoning on it, then used the Blood Drink Mad Blade to cut off a hind leg to eat, leaving the rest for the black giant ape.

Seeing Xiao Yan somewhat discouraged, Yao Lao quickly comforted him, "How could it be in vain? At least you are not as wretched as when you first fought it, right?"

"That is true!" Xiao Yan nodded.

"Alright, no more fighting! How about I help you roast meat to eat?" Xiao Yan put away the Blood Drink Mad Blade and said to the black giant ape in front of him.

"Just playing around, why are you angry again!" Xiao Yan looked at the deep pit in front of him and said with lingering fear.

"It seems I can only continue to try later!" Seeing the black giant ape carrying the prey back, Xiao Yan stopped talking to Yao Lao.

The black giant ape beside Xiao Yan smelled the fragrance, and its saliva could not stop flowing.

What's more, this giant ape's strength was very powerful. With a wave of its hand, it could split mountains and crack rocks, and it could tear magical beasts of the same rank alive.

Although the black giant ape could not speak, Xiao Yan had fought with it for so long, so he naturally knew what it meant. It was saying: "Is this how you play? You've been hacking for a whole day. If you're not tired, I'm tired of the pain!"

Xiao Yan had thousands of years of Chinese cultural thought to support him, so it was not difficult to come up with a method, but doing it was not that easy.

As soon as Xiao Yan sat down, Yao Lao turned into a ball of white light and floated out of the ring.

Xiao Yan looked up at the sky and found that the sun was about to set, leaving only a trace of the setting sun on the horizon.

"Roar!" Seeing that it had not hit Xiao Yan, the black giant ape roared again.

Xiao Yan first controlled the Exotic Fire to burn the internal organs of the magical beast's body to nothing, and then burned the fur into nothingness.

This black giant ape was clearly the overlord of this area. In its territory, no magical beast dared to provoke it, otherwise, it would be torn alive directly.

It was precisely because this giant ape's strength was very powerful that Xiao Yan used it as his sparring partner.

Since he could not break through the black giant ape's defense, it could only mean that his attack power was still not enough. When encountering a powerful opponent, he could only be beaten passively and run away.

The prey's body was not much smaller than the black giant ape's. When it fell to the ground, it made the ground tremble.

Seeing this subconscious action of the black giant ape, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly and continued to control the Exotic Fire to invade the magical beast's body.

All of Xiao Yan's attacks could not break through this black giant ape's defense and could only be beaten passively. Moreover, although this black giant ape's body was massive, its speed was not slow at all. Even if Xiao Yan used the Wind God Leg, he could not compare to the black giant ape's speed.

The reason for this was that the force produced by the Eight Extremities Collapse was forcibly controlled by Xiao Yan to erupt at one point, rather than being fused together.

"Hehe, this giant ape itself is a Fourth-Rank Magical Beast, and it is known for its defense. The bloodline on its body is also unusually powerful. Even an ordinary Fifth-Rank Magical Beast could fight it to a draw. It is normal that you cannot break through its defense for a while." Yao Lao said with a smile.

Ever since he was guided by Yao Lao and could unleash the force produced by the Eight Extremities Collapse through a weapon, Xiao Yan had been practicing hard.

Throwing the prey on its shoulder directly in front of Xiao Yan, the black giant ape looked at Xiao Yan with anticipation, saliva flowing continuously from its mouth.

After dealing with the internal organs and fur, Xiao Yan began to roast the meat. In just a moment, the meat was fragrant, and the smell made one drool.

Ever since Xiao Yan knew his shortcomings, he had put all his energy into how to exert the power of his flesh. After all, Xiao Yan did not want to become a wooden man who only knew how to be beaten.

Xiao Yan's palm instantly showed black and white flames, completely wrapping the magical beast.

When he first fought the black giant ape, he would be beaten half to death every time. Later, using Exotic Fire, and with Hei Yu assisting from the side, he barely made it wary.

For such a huge magical beast, if he cleaned the internal organs and fur by hand bit by bit, he did not know how long it would take, at least a whole day. But with Exotic Fire, it was completed in just a moment.

Seeing Xiao Yan start to eat, the black giant ape could no longer endure it, tore off a large piece of meat, and ate it happily.

After eating and drinking his fill, Xiao Yan directly found a giant rock to lie down and rest. With the black giant ape guarding from the side, Xiao Yan was not afraid of any blind magical beasts coming over.
