Chapter 605: Suffered a Small Loss

Lin Zhangqing released all the Purple Crystal Scorpions, targeting the Second-Stage Fire Spirit Monkey group below.

However, Lin Zhangqing didn't order them to kill; they just hit them once with purple light rays and then stopped attacking!

So although there were shrill screams of Fire Spirit Monkeys everywhere below, not a single one was actually killed.

Sure enough, this method was very effective. That Third-Stage dead monkey gave up its pursuit of Lin Zhangqing and turned to deal with the Purple Crystal Scorpions below.

However, the Purple Crystal Scorpions were small in size and flew very fast, so it was basically like using a cannon to hit a mosquito; the dead monkey didn't achieve much effect.

And Lin Zhangqing also ordered them not to slow down, and even more so, not to stay in one place. So although it was lively below,

the Purple Crystal Scorpions actually suffered no damage. Even if some were affected by the flames exploded by the Fire Cone Techniques and blasted away, they would fly up again after a while!

So very quickly, in about sixty breaths, apart from that Third-Stage dead monkey, all the other Fire Spirit Monkeys had fallen.

And at this time, Lin Zhangqing had already flown eight or nine miles away and began to recall the Purple Crystal Scorpions.

And when the Third-Stage demon monkey saw those purple crystal scorpions leave, it didn't dare to pursue them.

Because it sensed that its monkey children and grandchildren were all still alive, so it didn't dare to provoke Lin Zhangqing again!

It stayed around the monkey group, protecting these monkey children and grandchildren who had temporarily lost their ability to move! On Lin Zhangqing's side, after reuniting with the Purple Crystal Scorpions, he hurried away. He was worried that in a moment, the dead monkey would come up to entangle him again.

After flying another three hundred miles, Lin Zhangqing finally felt completely relieved. At this distance, the dead monkey hadn't caught up, so it should be fine! Only then did he land, find a place to rest, and check all the Purple Crystal Scorpions one by one.

He found that most of the Purple Crystal Scorpions had no problems, and only a few had some damage on their shells.

However, the problems weren't big. He let them gnaw on some spirit crystals and rewarded each injured Purple Crystal Scorpion with a Vermilion Fruit.

He believed that after recuperating for a period of time, they would all recover! His Purple Crystal Scorpions were indeed formidable, with strong attack power and even stronger defensive power!

If it had been the Shocking Spirit Cicadas just now, they would likely have suffered heavy casualties, or even been wiped out! After all, the flight speed of the Shocking Spirit Cicadas was average, but their defensive ability was clearly not up to par. Encountering the Third-Stage dead monkey's Fire Cone Technique, it would have been basically one hit per cicada!

He fed all the injured Purple Crystal Scorpions some Spring Return Pill, then took them back into the spirit beast bracelet.

Incidentally, he checked Chu Yi's condition, and it was clearly better than yesterday. With that, Lin Zhangqing was relieved!

After finishing all this, he set off again. This incident served as a reminder to Lin Zhangqing!

This secret realm was too dangerous. Next time he chose a campsite, he still had to let the Purple Crystal Scorpions scout the surroundings.

He must never make the same mistake as last night again. This time, Lin Zhangqing was lucky to only encounter one Third-Stage dead monkey.

If he had been unlucky and bumped into two or more Third-Stage demon beasts, he likely wouldn't have been able to escape!

Just like this, Lin Zhangqing bumped and stumbled through the secret realm, but overall, he could still manage.

Another six or seven days passed. During these few days, he had also encountered danger several times! All were because he encountered Third-Stage demon beasts. Fortunately, only once did he encounter two Third-Stage demon beasts appearing together.

It was a pair of Third-Stage Shadowless Leopards. The stealth ability of this demon beast was extremely perverted, and they were also adept at Shadow Escape! However, fortunately, when Lin Zhangqing encountered them, it was during the day, and the distance between them was relatively far.

Their Shadow Escape at this time was greatly weakened by the sunlight, which allowed Lin Zhangqing to seize the opportunity to rush out.

And these past few days, he had also encountered several waves of cultivators, but only one group of three chose to take action against Lin Zhangqing.

The final result was that the things on their bodies became Lin Zhangqing's spoils of war, and their corpses turned into ashes, scattered in the forest.

Just like this, Lin Zhangqing experienced danger several times and finally arrived near Jilei Mountain. However, upon arriving here! He didn't rashly approach again. He knew that at this time, there were definitely cultivators watching around, more or less.

And Jilei Mountain itself occupied a very broad area, and the entire mountain peak was very high, likely at least four or five thousand zhang in height.

And even at the foot of the mountain, one could hear the "Boom! Boom!" thunderous sounds coming from the mountain.

In the data jade slip from the Listening Wind Pavilion, there were some speculations about Jilei Mountain.

They estimated that there should be a metal-attribute spirit mine on Jilei Mountain, and it was very likely refined iron ore, likely located above the mountainside.

Because the lightning strikes here only occurred above the mountainside.

So Lin Zhangqing could see very intuitively from the foot of the mountain that below the mountainside, there were very lush, verdant trees.

While above the mountainside, they were all irregular, pitch-black tree trunks. These were clearly tree trunks left behind after being struck by lightning and burned.

This terrain was truly too obvious. A discerning person would definitely be able to guess at a glance that this was Jilei Mountain.

As for the famous Three-Eyed Thunder Apes, Lin Zhangqing hadn't seen them; he estimated he would have to go up the mountain to see them.

Lin Zhangqing considered it, then spent some time finding a relatively hidden place.

Then he set up the two array disks he had on hand and activated them all!

At this time, the sky was almost dark. Lin Zhangqing draped the light gauze magic treasure over himself and began to sneak up the mountain.

He was preparing to take advantage of the cover of darkness to go up the mountain and try his luck.

However, while approaching Jilei Mountain, Lin Zhangqing keenly observed that in two places, there seemed to be traces of formations.

But he didn't create extra trouble. Now he was shrouded by the light gauze magic treasure, and others couldn't see him, so there was absolutely no need to do something unnecessary.

He just firmly remembered those two suspicious places in his heart and then ignored them! Lin Zhangqing spent about an hour before finally successfully sneaking to the foot of Jilei Mountain. He had to be even more careful here! Because at any time, he might encounter Three-Eyed Thunder Apes.

Sure enough, after sneaking up only about three hundred zhang, he began to hear the unique sounds of ape-type demon beasts.

Lin Zhangqing carefully sneaked over and saw five or six Second-Stage Three-Eyed Thunder Apes, who were nursing and taking care of a dozen or so little apes.

And the sounds were emitted by these little fellows.
