Chapter 318: Mr. Xia, Have a Safe Journey!

The Great Vajra Ape, also known as the Asura Demon Ape, is also called the Three-Headed Six-Armed Ape.

It has six thick arms and heads representing the three expressions of joy, anger, and sorrow.

The Great Vajra Ape can be said to be an evolved form or mutant of the Four-Armed Vajra Ape.

It is an existence akin to royalty among Four-Armed Vajra Apes.

All Four-Armed Vajra Apes are its underlings.

Behind the Great Vajra Ape, there is also an underling with a wisp of white hair on its head, which is equivalent to the Great Vajra Ape's personal bodyguard.

【Name: Great Vajra Ape】

【Gender: Female】

【Attribute: Metal/Combat】

【Level: Tier 7, Level 6】

【Skills: Invincible Golden Body (Proficient): Stimulates the golden energy throughout the body, forming a massive golden body, greatly enhancing defensive power.

Asura Ghost Face: Utilizes the terrifying baleful aura on its body to cause terrifying mental pressure on the opponent, causing the opponent to fall into a state of stiffness and be unable to move.

Mountain-Crushing Impact (Proficient): Uses its massive body to ram into the opponent, attacking like a mountain; opponents without strong physical durability will die and vanish under the violent Impact.

Six-Armed Asura Fist (Proficient): Gathers all the strength of the body into the fists, capable of throwing thousands of fist shadows in one second.

Battle Roar (Proficient): Emits a deafening roar from its mouth, capable of enhancing the combat power of Exotic Beasts.

Immovable Wisdom King Statue (Proficient): When physical strength is exhausted, it will transform into a golden statue, possessing extremely strong defensive capabilities.】

【Evolution Route 1: Asura Demon Ape King: Under equal conditions, defeat ten Asura Demon Apes, extract their hearts, comprehend the emotion of joy, and possess a four-faced, eight-armed combat form.】

【Evaluation: This Asura Demon Ape is a mutant; its combat power is several times that of an ordinary Asura Demon Ape. When it defeats itself and transforms into the Immovable Wisdom King Statue, it is the best time to contract the Asura Demon Ape. The female Asura Demon Ape requires a female contractor, and she must defeat the Asura Demon Ape personally; otherwise, the Asura Demon Ape would rather commit suicide than be contracted by anyone.】

The good news is that defeating the Asura Demon Ape allows one to control the entire Four-Armed Vajra Ape tribe, thereby reducing the pressure on Nantianmen Fortress.

The bad news is that one must defeat the Asura Demon Ape alone, and this person must be female.

However, Ye Bai finds one thing very strange: why could he not see the aura on the Four-Armed Vajra Apes before, but can see it now?

Fortunately, the plan Xia Boshi made is for the entire Nantianmen Fortress, not just for the Four-Armed Vajra Apes.

Even if this step of the plan is scrapped now, it will not affect the overall situation.

He is indeed a person with many ideas, with every step linked to the next.

"Even the Great Vajra Ape has appeared."

"I originally thought there were only Four-Armed Vajra Apes here."

"This is a good opportunity; although the Great Vajra Ape is simple-minded, it is very true to its word."

"As long as you challenge it to a duel and defeat it in public, you can subdue the entire Four-Armed Vajra Ape tribe."

"Ye Bai, please find such a Pet Beast Master; I need to sleep for a while."

Xia Boshi lifted his weary eyes.

His spirit looked very poor, as if his vitality had been stripped away by someone.

The voice with which Xia Boshi spoke became very, very soft, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.

The vitality on his face was about to be swallowed by deathly aura.

"Xia Boshi, we finally found you. How could you come to a place like this? Come back to the hospital with us quickly."

Several bodyguards rushed into the command room, looking anxious and flustered.

"Jiaomujiao, why did you know about this and not report it?"

"Xia Boshi appearing at Nantianmen Fortress—such a serious matter, why didn't you report it upward?"

"You have seriously violated discipline."

The bodyguards' expressions were ugly; to find Xia Boshi, they had almost turned the entire Yan Country upside down.

"Xia Boshi is the backbone of our Yan Country and the top think tank of Yan Country."

"One Xia Boshi can hold off eight armies of the foreign alliance."

"He is a true genius figure, a Zhuge of our time."

The bodyguards' voices woke Xia Boshi.

Xia Boshi lifted his hand with difficulty; his hair had turned completely white.

"Do not blame Jiaomujiao; he was not aware of my physical condition."

"I have already signed a waiver; no matter what happens to me, the responsibility will not implicate any of you."

"Everyone knows that my time is not long, just this week."

"Death comes to all men, either heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather."

"Rather than this, it is better to let me shine and give heat in Nantianmen Fortress, and completely burn out this body of mine."

At this moment, a bodyguard walked over, a flash of unbearable pity in his eyes.

"Xia Boshi, you are very important to the entire Yan Country. Why don't you try transforming yourself into an undead creature?"

"For example, an undead like a Blood Demon or a Banshee."

"That way, your wisdom could be preserved forever."

Xia Boshi shook his head: "If I reach that point, would I still be human?"

"If I transformed into an undead, would the higher-ups still trust me?"

"If we are not the same species, how could they feel at ease?"

"What would be the point of me transforming into an undead then?"

"I have exhausted my heart and blood in this life; I am too tired. Just let me sleep eternally in peace."

"I have already written the plan for Nantianmen. Not just for Nantianmen, but for the five regions guarded by Yan Country and the layout of the surrounding environment, I have already written it all."

"Just let me spend my final moments in Nantianmen Fortress."

"By the way, if I die, just bury my ashes in the Yingxiong Muyuan."

"I can't wait to meet my comrades-in-arms."

"The plan I have written will be handed over by Xu Gou of the Twelve Pillars of the Nation."

"In this life, I have constantly exhausted my mind thinking; I am truly too tired."

Xia Boshi no longer even had the strength to speak.

He closed his eyes and fell asleep quickly.

Ye Bai gently draped a thin blanket over Xia Boshi.

Upon learning that Xia Boshi had been found at the Nantianmen Fortress, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, someone relayed what Xia Boshi had just said to the Qilin Marshal.

The Qilin Marshal's expression was grave, his heart torn in conflict; he finally let out a long sigh: "What Xia Boshi said also makes a lot of sense; he has fought for the Yan Country for over thirty years."

"Since he wants to Depart peacefully, then let it be according to his wishes."

"We cannot let him be unable to fulfill even this last wish before his death."

"Go, grant Xia Boshi his final dignity, and let him leave peacefully."

"He fears trouble, so there is no need to issue an obituary."

"Just let him live on in our hearts forever."

"By the way, to whom was Xia Boshi's research finally handed over?"

"Was it Zhang Lingxue?"

Hearing the Qilin Marshal's question, the person reporting had a strange look on their face: "No, it is Zhang Lingxue's disciple, Ye Bai, a university student who has only just entered university."

"He is also the champion of the Yan Country's Young Qilin Cup."

At this moment, Ye Bai found his teacher, Zhang Lingxue.

Zhang Lingxue saw the very subtle gesture Ye Bai made and immediately understood that Ye Bai had something to discuss with her.

The two walked to a secluded spot.

"Ye Bai, keep it brief."

"The current battle situation is extremely dangerous; the Four-Armed Vajra Apes are about to kill their way over." "Especially their leader, who has a very fierce look on its face."

Ye Bai smiled.

"Teacher, we have already found a way to break the Four-Armed Vajra Apes."

"One only needs to defeat the Great Vajra Ape face-to-face to control the entire Four-Armed Vajra Ape tribe for our use."

"Teacher, this credit belongs to none other than you."

Zhang Lingxue blinked her eyes and pointed at herself with her finger: "Me?"

"Yes!" Ye Bai nodded.

"This Great Vajra Ape is female, and it is the leader of the tribe, according to the intelligence I deduced in collaboration with Xia Boshi."

Ye Bai deliberately used Xia Boshi's name as a shield.

"These are the skills mastered by the Great Vajra Ape, all deduced by Xia Boshi."

"If a female Pet Beast Master directly challenges this Great Vajra Ape and defeats it, it will enter the state of the Immovable Wisdom King for a short time."

"At this time, one can forcibly form a contract with the Great Vajra Ape."

"Teacher, currently in the Nantianmen Fortress, among female Pet Beast Masters, only your combat power is the strongest."

Zhang Lingxue scratched her hair in embarrassment: "Isn't there still Fangri Tu?"

"You shouldn't say that."

"Don't ever say that to outsiders."

It was the first time Ye Bai had seen embarrassment on Zhang Lingxue's face; this was simply outrageous.

"But speaking of which, can I handle the Great Vajra Ape?"

"I think it's unlikely."

Zhang Lingxue frowned; clearly, Zhang Lingxue felt she was no match for the Great Vajra Ape. After all, Zhang Lingxue had led research for many years and was indeed not very skilled in Exotic Beast combat.

"Teacher, the Great Vajra Ape excels in physical attacks, which is a huge disadvantage for Fangri Tu."

"Moreover, the Great Vajra Ape's defensive ability is extremely strong; only special attacks can affect the Great Vajra Ape."

"Teacher, according to my and Xia Boshi's deductions, if we can subdue this group of Four-Armed Vajra Apes, it can allow us to hold out until the Lava Dragon Turtle awakens."

Zhang Lingxue hesitated, as this required risking herself.

She had to consider the overall gains and losses.

"Teacher, you have to think, with the Poison Dragon Butterfly and the True Light Goddess Butterfly protecting you, you naturally won't be in much danger."

"Plus, your other Pet Beasts can help you."

Ye Bai continued to persuade her.

"And with this Great Vajra Ape, it can make up for your weakness in close-quarters combat."

"Teacher, victory is found in danger; you Twenty-Eight Mansions also have rankings."

Ye Bai deliberately reminded her.

After Ye Bai's persuasion, Zhang Lingxue finally nodded.

She understood the importance of subduing the Great Vajra Ape.

Especially at this critical moment when the Four-Armed Vajra Apes were about to attack the city.

If the Great Vajra Ape could be subdued in advance, it could buy more time for the Nantianmen Fortress.

The Lava Dragon Turtle was about to awaken, and the volcano in the distance was trembling slightly.

Dark, thick smoke emerged from the volcano's peak, and from time to time, huge rocks erupted from the crater.

The Great Strength Vajra Ape, also known as the Asura Demon Ape, was currently sizing up the Nantianmen Fortress from top to bottom.

It was only interested in the human world, which was why it had brought its kin here.

At this moment, the Asura Demon Ape's stomach let out a rumbling sound.

Right now, it only wanted to feast to its heart's content.

"Roar."

The Asura Demon Ape used its six arms to beat its own chest, emitting a deafening sound wave.

Stimulated by the high-frequency sound waves, the eyes of many Four-Armed Vajra Apes gradually turned blood-red.

A faint black aura appeared on their bodies.

Many Four-Armed Vajra Apes leaped suddenly into the air, waving their thick arms as they smashed heavily toward the Earth Wall of the Nantianmen Fortress.

Just at this moment, massive earth-yellow boulders suddenly appeared out of thin air.

Zhang Lingxue stood upon the Poison Dragon Butterfly, and she looked up at the Asura Demon Ape.

"Asura Demon Ape," a sharp cry came from Zhang Lingxue's mouth.

"Let me be your opponent."

The fists of the Four-Armed Vajra Apes slammed heavily into the massive earth-yellow boulders, and only a "Crack!" was heard.

The massive boulders shattered instantly.

However, the movements of the Four-Armed Vajra Apes also came to a temporary halt.

According to the traditions of the Four-Armed Vajra Apes, once someone issues a challenge, they must accept a one-on-one duel.

The Four-Armed Vajra Apes moved aside one after another to clear a path.

Zhang Lingxue swallowed a mouthful of saliva and walked straight out of the Nantianmen Fortress.

"What is Junior Sister doing?"

"Seeking a duel with the Great Strength Vajra Ape?"

Jiaomujiao was somewhat deeply puzzled.

At this time, Doctor Xia opened his eyes.

"Haha, Jiaomujiao, your junior sister seems to have even more courage."

"This is just an analysis of mine; ape-type Exotic Beasts are always ready to accept challenges from the outside."

"As long as one can defeat their leader, one will gain control over the entire tribe."

"And with this group of Four-Armed Vajra Apes who excel at close combat, I think the defensive power of Nantianmen will certainly improve quite a bit."

At this moment, Doctor Xia did not even have the strength to lift his hand.

His gaze swept across Zhang Lingxue's face, and then he had his bodyguard push him out to bask in the sun.

Doctor Xia's body began to turn cold.

The warm sunlight fell upon Doctor Xia, and he felt his body grow much warmer.

"I am about to ride the wind and depart, free and unfettered."

Doctor Xia had been selected for the Young Genius Class, and like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, he walked forward step by step, eventually becoming a high-level advisor.

Some said he was a tactical master; others said he was a Peiyun Dashi.

But stripping away the shell of reputation, he was just an ordinary, patriotic Long Countryman.

The sun is so warm today, the weather is so good; it is a pity that I can no longer see such beautiful scenery.

Long live Yan Country!

Long live the great people! May the citizens of Yan Country enjoy peace and prosperity, and may the weather be favorable for the crops! Doctor Xia's hand slid down silently.

The bodyguard at his side stood like an iron pillar beside Doctor Xia.

Two lines of clear tears welled up from his eye sockets, showing the bodyguard's reluctance to let go.

He was a great strategist and Peiyun Dashi, having directed countless battles in his life.

Several times, he relied on his wisdom to maneuver between nations.

"Mr. Chen, may there be no more disease in the world."

The bodyguard gently closed Doctor Xia's eyes; may Doctor Xia have a safe journey! (End of chapter)
