And Zhu Xuanji, as a divine investigator and royal family member, had conducted thorough investigations and read many royal intelligence reports before coming to Huoshi Immortal City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, when they saw the Nascent Soul-level demon ape’s performance, they communicated via sound transmission and exclaimed simultaneously: \"This mother ape is in heat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the Fire-Melting Demon Apes, the number of mother apes is often very small, with the number of male apes being at least eighty times that of the mother apes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, in every ape group, the mother ape is the most precious asset and the guarantee of the group’s future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation of this Fire-Melting Ape group was quite special; one mother ape had actually grown to the Nascent Soul level, and her status was even more noble than the previous Jin Dan Demon Ape King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder her residence was so nervously guarded by the demon apes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Xuanji hurriedly transmitted: \"Do not take action!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The mother ape being in heat is actually our opportunity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems to have mistaken us for the mates chosen by the ape group.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Shuanggou, holding his double hooks, changed his expression: \"Lord Zhu, what do you mean by this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Xuanji said: \"As long as one of us is chosen by it, after mating, our relationship with the ape group will change drastically, from enemy to friend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At that time, let alone mere demon general machines, the ape group will even actively gift us a large amount of treasure materials.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You live in Mount Huoshi, don't you know this habit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was indeed so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mother apes are insatiable, and male apes of the same level often die miserably during the mating process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, when a mother ape in an ape group has too high a life level and falls into a heat period, the male apes dare not go themselves, so they kidnap male apes from other groups or human men, etc., to satisfy the powerful mother ape’s vigorous needs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a male ape or a man satisfies the mother ape and does not lose his life, he or they will be treated well by the ape group.
