Chapter 153: Despicable Me (Third update, you owe me two updates)

"Go!" Time was too tight; Li Zhangsheng had no thoughts of resting and mounted the Flamingo again.

The Flamingo flapped its wings and soared high, flying toward the east under Li Zhangsheng's direction.

There, the trees were lush, the scenery beautiful, and exotic flowers and fruits were countless; it was also the territory where the Giant Ape Clan lived.

That's right, Li Zhangsheng had set his sights on the Giant Ape Clan. Possessing two Upper Rank Giant Apes, they were also the most powerful clan nearby, enough to go head-to-head with the Prehistoric Saw-Toothed Earthworm.

In just two or three minutes, the Flamingo appeared above the Giant Ape Clan and began to circle, searching for the traces of the Giant Ape Clan.

The Giant Ape Clan was the most powerful clan nearby, and the territory they occupied was naturally vast; a radius of ten miles was their domain.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng found the Giant Ape Clan among a cluster of hills.

The hills were not large, and a large patch of red berry trees grew there. At this moment, the Giant Apes were nimbly hanging from the trees, picking the berries one by one and storing them collectively in a huge tree hollow.

The Giant Apes were 3 meters tall and weighed about 500 kilograms. They were broad-shouldered and thick-waisted with thick, long arms. This type of primate Spirit Beast had huge molars with thick enamel layers, high tooth crowns, and low cusps.

Giant Ape: Primate Spirit Beast, High-Level General Species. Its greatest characteristic is strength. Its intelligence is higher than ordinary Spirit Beasts, and it also possesses excellent agility, allowing it to move freely through the jungle.

Among this group of Giant Apes, two stood out from the crowd. Their bodies were far larger than the ordinary Giant Apes, a full five meters tall, looking extremely strong, with weights likely reaching several tons.

They were the Upper Rank Giant Apes and also the leaders of the Giant Ape Clan. At this moment, they were shouting and gesturing, directing the Giant Apes to pick berries.

Not far away, several smaller Giant Apes were frolicking and playing, the smallest of which was nearly one meter tall.

On the way here, Li Zhangsheng already had a plan in mind. He signaled the Flamingo to circle to the rear of the Giant Ape Clan and dive down from the sky, charging toward the few small Giant Apes that were playing.

The two Upper Rank Giant Apes were very sharp; they sensed the disturbance in the sky at the first moment. They immediately raised their heads and saw the Flamingo carrying Li Zhangsheng charging toward the small Giant Apes.

They were no strangers to Li Zhangsheng. Not long ago, Li Zhangsheng had stepped into their territory and had been hunted down by them with their clan.

By the time the two Upper Rank Giant Apes discovered him, the Flamingo had already appeared above the smallest Giant Ape. A pair of bird claws precisely grabbed the small Giant Ape by both shoulders and carried it into the air.

Waa~

Only at this moment did the small Giant Ape's shriek ring out.

Roar~ Roar~

This naturally enraged the big guys in the clan. As clan leaders, protecting the young was their responsibility. They rose in a Rage, easily sweeping aside the vegetation blocking their path, and charged madly toward the Flamingo, wanting to stop the Flamingo from escaping.

Hypnosis Powder!

Just at this moment, Kailan mobilized the energy within her body, and immediately a large amount of bright yellow powder blocked the space between the two Upper Rank Giant Apes and the Flamingo.

Unlike the Prehistoric Saw-Toothed Earthworm, the Giant Apes could not be immune to the Hypnosis Powder. This caused their footsteps to falter, and they had to choose to go around the Hypnosis Powder area.

Taking advantage of the time they spent going around, the Flamingo flapped its fiery red wings, put a hundred-meter distance between them, and charged toward the location of the Prehistoric Saw-Toothed Earthworm.

Roar~ Roar~

Only at this moment did the other Giant Apes finally react. They were furious, madly beating their chests. To think someone dared to target their own child—this was intolerable.

The two leading Upper Rank Giant Apes immediately roared at their clan members, grabbed vines hanging down from the trees like pythons, and swung toward the direction the Flamingo had left.

This was the Giant Apes' way of moving in the jungle. The jungle was covered with a large number of thick vines; these vines were extremely tough and enough to support the several-ton bodies of the Upper Rank Giant Apes.

The other Giant Apes followed suit, chasing while grabbing vines and emitting terrifying howls, madly pursuing the Flamingo.

The combined weight of Li Zhangsheng and the small Giant Ape inevitably affected the Flamingo. There was no help for it; to adapt to flight, avian Spirit Beasts had hollow, air-filled bones, no teeth, hollow bones, regressed tailbones, no bladder, etc., which greatly reduced their weight and was more conducive to their flight.

The Flamingo's size looked large, but its weight was at most two hundred-plus catties. The weight of Li Zhangsheng and the small Giant Ape was already approaching its own weight, so its speed was naturally affected.

However, the Flamingo possessed an aerial advantage and could fly straight to the destination without being affected by the terrain like the Giant Apes.

Li Zhangsheng turned his head to look. Even from a long distance away, he could feel two powerful auras filled with brutality and Anger, and he deeply felt their terror.

Waa~

Under the Flamingo's claws, the small Giant Ape struggled madly, emitting panicked cries.

The small Giant Ape's struggle instead caused the Flamingo's sharp claws to pierce its flesh, and blood began to drip from the sky.

Boom~ Boom~

Behind them, as the two Upper Rank Giant Apes advanced, vegetation toppled and dust flew. Their movements were agile; every time they grabbed a vine, they could swing dozens of meters, but they hadn't closed the distance to the Flamingo at all.

Unlike the Upper Rank Giant Apes, the ordinary Giant Apes were inevitably a bit slower, but they were also in hot pursuit.

The small Giant Ape's blood and shrieks completely enraged the Giant Ape Clan. Even though the Flamingo had flown out of their territory, they still pursued relentlessly.

In the sky, Kailan's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she subconsciously condensed a cluster of Healing Spring, which landed on the small Giant Ape's wound.

Li Zhangsheng did not stop Kailan's action. He knew very well that his current behavior could not be linked to being righteous and upright at all, but he had no other choice. If he didn't do this, how could he make the Giant Apes leave their territory? Besides, he had been hunted down by the Giant Apes not long ago; the two sides had long since formed a grudge, so it could be considered an eye for an eye.

This process did not last long. Soon, the Flamingo reached its destination, but it did not stop; instead, it flew higher, heading straight through the barren area where the Bloodline Fruit was born.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the Prehistoric Saw-Toothed Earthworm drilled out from the ground with a bang. It held its head high and emitted a sharp, ear-piercing shriek.

Because the Flamingo was flying too high, the Prehistoric Saw-Toothed Earthworm naturally did not launch an attack immediately, but it had locked onto the Flamingo; once the Flamingo descended, it would immediately launch an attack.

Boom~

It was also at this time that the two Upper Rank Giant Apes stepped into the area permeated with the scent of the Bloodline Fruit. As soon as they smelled the scent of the Bloodline Fruit, a strong desire surged in the hearts of the two Upper Rank Giant Apes. But they ultimately possessed decent intelligence, and in the end, reason suppressed desire, and they wanted to continue the pursuit.

When the two Upper Rank Giant Apes charged over, the Prehistoric Saw-Toothed Earthworm immediately shifted its target. Since the two Upper Rank Giant Apes were advancing toward the direction of the Bloodline Fruit, this made the Prehistoric Saw-Toothed Earthworm mistakenly believe that they wanted to seize the Bloodline Fruit.
