In the future, that group of Beggar Gang people might still bully me, I can't let you be hungry!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ape opened its mouth, spat out the food in its mouth, placed it on its palm, and held it up to Yuan Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Yi waved his hand: \"No need, no need.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his Adam's apple rolled involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ape was persistent, stepped forward, handed its palm to Yuan Yi's mouth, and even let out a cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, then I won't be polite.\" Yuan Yi's eyes turned red, he held the ape's hand, buried his head, and ate the last handful of leftovers in two or three bites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Delicious, delicious!\" Yuan Yi smiled. He was as thin as a stick, and his clothes were someone else's, which didn't fit well, plus he was disheveled, just like a human monkey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ape also laughed, squeaking wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man and the monkey were immersed in happiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle Dasheng, Uncle Dasheng...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Yuan Er woke the ape up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment it opened its eyes, the ape almost mistook Yuan Er for its old master, after all, the father and son were so alike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ape's vision cleared, and suddenly its nose twitched, and its brows immediately wrinkled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It smelled a very bad smell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Er swallowed a mouthful of saliva and hurriedly explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ape listened to a small half, then stood up and walked out of the tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was more than a zhang tall, burly and majestic like a war elephant.

We must have the best performance in the Fire Persimmon Festival.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, manpower is seriously insufficient, we can only rely on you, Monkey Uncle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please recuperate during this time.

Do you still want it to go berserk?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I mean, has it already aged, its state has declined, and it's just superficially powerful?\" An ambitious elder pondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The oldest elder heard this, let out a disdainful sneer in his heart, and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other elders hadn't seen it, but in a gang operation to explore the Red Flame Demon Melting Cave, he had witnessed Yuan Dasheng's battle with his own eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The combat power of that Fire-Walking Snake was comparable to a half-step Golden Core.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But in the end, it was torn apart by Yuan Dasheng...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although Yuan Dasheng has entered old age, its combat power is very terrifying. It definitely has natural talent, at least upper-grade natural talent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not having a cultivation technique is its biggest regret, but it is also the greatest luck of our gang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of birds chirping was close to the ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo was interrupted from his sleep and opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What woke him up was a mechanical parrot, with a one-character staff head inserted into its back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the staff head that controlled it, allowing it to chirp at a fixed time and wake Ning Zhuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Time is almost up.\" Ning Zhuo immediately sensed the mark on his chest and his soul entered the Immortal Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly assembled the puppet body and passed the trials continuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, he discovered some traces of people attempting to pass the trials. He took a mechanical part for monitoring and saw that it was Zhou Zhu and Zheng Jian starting to cooperate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In a short time, they don't constitute a threat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The most critical one is Yuan Dasheng; even Meng Chong is secondary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo passed the trials all the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was now proficient in more than twenty types of spells, and they were all very skilled. As long as his spiritual power was abundant, passing these trials was very easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Ning Zhuo had nowhere to advance, he retreated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He retreated all the way to behind Room No. 8, stopped moving, and began to wait patiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, the door was suddenly pushed open violently, and a huge puppet ape drilled in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's here.\" Ning Zhuo said to himself, stood up slowly, and faced the ape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their gazes collided, and Yuan Dasheng immediately realized that the mechanical puppet in front of it was unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sizing up the puppet Ning Zhuo, Yuan Dasheng scanned the whole place again. Besides the mechanical traps in its memory, it was also guessing about the mechanical traps that might be hidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems it mistook me for a puppet guarding the trial, just like those martial arts puppets before.\" Ning Zhuo nodded secretly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was exactly the result he wanted to create.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this regard, the leaderboard and his pseudonym played a key role, making Yuan Dasheng mistakenly think that only it was bravely exploring the Immortal Palace!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After observing for a while, Yuan Dasheng began to try to pass the trial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo took action immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spell—Ice-Holding Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mechanical part—Flying Swimming Hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spell—A Breath of Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mechanical part—Qi-Releasing Ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mechanical arm flew rapidly toward Yuan Dasheng, and a cold freezing qi emerged from the palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The freezing qi originally only had killing effect upon contact. But the Qi-Releasing Ring flew to the front, and the \"A Breath of Qi\" spell acted on it, blowing the freezing qi out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fan-shaped freezing qi covered it instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Dasheng dodged immediately; although it dodged most of it, a section of its left leg was covered with a layer of frost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fierce light appeared in Yuan Dasheng's eyes immediately!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the first time it had seen a puppet guarding the trial that could cast spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any hesitation, Yuan Dasheng ran wildly, its momentum was fierce, and it approached Ning Zhuo rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo jumped lightly, the \"A Breath of Qi\" spell was activated, matched with a pair of Qi-Releasing Rings on his left and right wrists, erupting with a boost of airflow, pushing him backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo pulled away the distance rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And while retreating, he attacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than a dozen Flying Swimming Hands attacked continuously, Ice-Holding Technique, Fire-Grasping Technique, Gold-Picking Technique, Wood-Connecting Technique, etc., all became mid-to-long-range attacks under the blessing of \"A Breath of Qi\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Dasheng tried its best to shrink its body, using its arms as shields to protect its face, smashing all spells, and only charging at Ning Zhuo, ignoring everything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a tactical choice was absolutely correct!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it couldn't save its defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, Yuan Dasheng's puppet body collapsed; some were burned, some were frozen into ice, some wood grew horizontally, forming a huge obstacle...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before collapsing, Yuan Dasheng raised its head and roared, the roar full of unwillingness, resentment, and helplessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frustrating, too frustrating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not its true strength at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Blocked it.\" Ning Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief secretly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mechanical traps he set up had very poor effects on Yuan Dasheng.
