Chapter 604: Annoying Dead Monkeys
Chu Yi chirped at Lin Zhangqing feebly, and then there was no more movement!
So Lin Zhangqing fed it another Spring Return Pill and also got a lot of Third-Stage demon beast meat to feed it.
Chu Yi had followed him for so long and was a bird that knew its stuff; knowing these were rare good things, it immediately started wolfing them down.
After finishing several dozen jin of Third-Stage demon beast meat, it was finally satisfied and was sent back to the spirit beast bracelet by Lin Zhangqing to continue recuperating.
Now that Chu Yi had woken up, Lin Zhangqing's mind was at ease. Regardless, it was good that it had woken up; it would slowly recover in the future!
However, the injuries on his own body hadn't fully healed yet. He had also taken a Spring Return Pill, but he still couldn't cultivate the Thunder True Scripture for the time being.
So he could only pick up the data jade slip he had bought at the Listening Wind Pavilion and read it carefully.
It was mainly to know which places he would pass through this time, trying his best to have a plan in mind so he could quickly reach Jilei Mountain.
In fact, he wasn't afraid of others getting there first, because Zhao Hongyuan had said that the ones guarding the Thunder Extreme Fruit Tree were the Third-Stage Three-Eyed Thunder Ape clan.
It was likely that the entire Jilei Mountain was the territory of the Three-Eyed Thunder Ape clan, so there should be quite a few Three-Eyed Thunder Apes living there.
Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for one or two people who arrived first to get there first.
Lin Zhangqing speculated in his heart that to pick the Thunder Extreme Fruit, many cultivators would likely need to join forces to have any chance of success!
However, Lin Zhangqing wanted to reach there so early
precisely because he relied on having the light gauze magic treasure on hand, so he wanted to go over and see if he had a chance to secretly get the Thunder Extreme Fruit into his hands.
But this was just his own wishful thinking. The demon beast guarding the Thunder Extreme Fruit was called the Three-Eyed Thunder Ape.
Just hearing the name, he knew their eyes likely had some formidable aspects, and they might even have some eye techniques.
He just didn't know if they could see through his light gauze magic treasure.
After reading for more than an hour and going through the places he would likely pass on the road and the data on demon beasts he might encounter,
having a plan in mind, he rested early! However, his luck wasn't good tonight. In the middle of the night, a group of Fire Spirit Monkeys actually
sneaked to Lin Zhangqing's campsite. Because he might encounter Third-Stage demon beasts, he didn't release the Purple Crystal Scorpions to keep watch for him.
He just didn't want to make too much of a commotion and attract unnecessary trouble.
He had only set up a Second-Stage Two Polarities Breath Absorption Array. Now, he didn't know why these Fire Spirit Monkeys had broken in here.
And they had even touched the formation but couldn't get in. They might have felt very curious, so twenty or thirty Fire Spirit Monkeys came all at once.
Lin Zhangqing originally didn't want to pay attention to them, but he didn't expect them to gather more and more.
Now, twenty or thirty Fire Spirit Monkeys, and at such a close distance, posed no small threat to him! And these Fire Spirit Monkeys, apart from a demon core, had no other parts on their bodies that were of much value.
So Lin Zhangqing didn't want to provoke them when he encountered them the past two days. He didn't expect his luck to be so bad this time that he had actually run into their nest.
In fact, he could still deal with the several dozen Fire Spirit Monkeys gathered outside; he only needed to release several dozen Second-Stage Shocking Spirit Cicadas to handle them all! But he was afraid that with such a large base number, they would give birth to a Third-Stage Fire Spirit Monkey, which would be troublesome! Because this was very possible; the data jade slip he had read just now had mentioned Third-Stage Fire Spirit Monkeys.
These demon monkeys that knew Fire Escape Technique were truly very formidable. With the blessing of the Fire Escape Technique, they suddenly became elusive. Moreover, their long-range and close-combat abilities were not weak. It was better to try not to provoke them if he could! So he considered it and decided that as long as the Fire Spirit Monkeys didn't attack the formation, he wouldn't take action to kill them, to avoid attracting a Third-Stage Fire Spirit Monkey.
Let them play there for a while; perhaps after a while, they would get bored and leave naturally! Fortunately, Lin Zhangqing's luck wasn't at its worst. Those monkeys fussed outside his campsite for more than three hours.
As dawn approached, the vast majority of the monkeys finally left, leaving only five or six still playing nearby.
With them around, Lin Zhangqing couldn't rest at ease. Seeing the opportunity was rare, he immediately packed his things and finally pulled out the array disk.
Then he flew his sword and shot into the sky to slip away. Of course, there were also quick-reacting Fire Spirit Monkeys.
They launched attacks at him, but the two or three Fire Cone Techniques were all cleverly avoided by Lin Zhangqing! The forest below boiled over in no time, with at least one or two hundred Fire Spirit Monkeys chasing Lin Zhangqing below.
However, he had experience with this; he ignored them and immediately started accelerating, intending to shake them off like last time.
But Heaven didn't grant his wish. Suddenly, a flame exploded not far behind Lin Zhangqing.
Then, a Fire Spirit Monkey the size of a person suddenly emerged from the flames and unleashed a series of Fire Cone Techniques at Lin Zhangqing.
This happened suddenly, and the two sides were only a few dozen zhang apart. Fortunately, for the sake of safety, he had been keeping three layers of shields up.
Plus his divine sense was constantly monitoring the situation around him, which bought him a little time to react.
Upon discovering the big monkey that had suddenly emerged behind him, he knew something big was wrong, so he activated several more layers of defensive shields without hesitation.
Then came a series of booming sounds.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
It instantly shattered at least seven layers of his defensive shields, and because the impact force was very great,
it also knocked him off his flying sword, and he almost fell to his death. Fortunately, he still had the Wind-Thunder Wings and instantly activated the Thunder Escape Technique.
Only then did he escape the fate of falling to his death. And Lin Zhangqing hadn't even adjusted yet when that dead monkey emerged not far from his side.
Then it unleashed another series of Fire Cone Techniques at him. Fortunately, he was using the Thunder Escape Technique now, which was relatively flexible and changeable.
So this time he didn't take them all head-on; only two Fire Cone Techniques hit him, but they were all blocked by his defensive shields.
By this time, Lin Zhangqing had finally adjusted, knowing that if he continued to be entangled by it like this, he would be in danger!
However, he didn't have a very good way to deal with this elusive Third-Stage Fire Spirit Monkey.
But while he couldn't deal with the Third-Stage dead monkey, dealing with the Second-Stage ones was much easier! And he also wanted to try a "besiege Wei to rescue Zhao" tactic, to see if he could make this damn monkey hesitate.
So with a thought, purple light continuously flew out from his wrist.
