Jinwu Mountains.
On a certain mountaintop deep in the mountains, three black shadows fell from the sky, finally revealing their specific figures.
It wasn't until these three black figures gained a firm foothold that their facial features were revealed. They were Lin Tianming, his wife, and Tang Xiuping.
After traveling for more than half a month, Tang Xiuping and Lin Tianming changed directions several times and finally arrived here.
It was obvious that Tang Xiuping was also very cautious about the process of obtaining the treasure, otherwise he would not have changed directions several times in the middle.
However, Lin Tianming didn't care about Tang Xiuping's little thoughts regarding this move.
Anyway, in his eyes, as long as Tang Xiuping can keep his promise and lead him to find the Heyuan Fruit Tree.
Leave the rest to him.
As for him, he actually has no interest in treasures that don't belong to him.
As a result, Lin Tianming naturally didn't say much, and just followed Tang Xiuping with peace of mind, and finally arrived here.

Ping continued: "Senior Lin, if nothing else happens, this canyon should be the lair of the mid-level third-order black demon ape."
"Dark Demon Ape?"
Lin Tianming was a little surprised when he heard Tang Xiuping's words.
He had heard of the name of the Black Demon Ape, and had also seen the introduction of the Black Demon Ape in some classics.
Monsters like the Black Demon Ape can be considered a relatively well-known existence among the third-order monsters.
What Lin Tianming is more concerned about is the important characteristics of the Black Demon Ape.
According to Lin Tianming's recollection, this is what is recorded in those classics.
It is said that the black demon ape has a trace of the blood of the ancient demon ape in its body, so its energy and blood are extremely powerful, its attack power is very strong, and its defense power is also extremely strong.
In addition, the Black Demon Ape also possesses terrifying movement speed.
Considering these circumstances, it is no exaggeration to say that the Black Demon Ape has almost no weaknesses.
Because of this, the Black Demon Ape's overall strength is very strong and it is indeed a difficult opponent.
But even so, Lin Tianming was not too nervous.
In his eyes, as long as they are not late-stage second-order monsters, judging from his current strength, there is no need to be too afraid.
According to Tang Xiuping's explanation, the Black Demon Ape is only in the middle of the third level. No matter how powerful it is, it may not be realistic to pose a fatal threat to him.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming looked as usual, and then withdrew his searching eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Tianming looked at Tang Xiuping, and then said slowly: "Fellow Taoist Tang, let's go in and take a look first. If there is only a black demon ape in there, there is no need to be too worried."
After hearing this and looking at Lin Tianming's confident expression, Tang Xiuping nodded.
At this time, Lin Tianming saw that Tang Xiuping had no objection, and immediately said to Qin Xi beside him: "Xi'er, please keep an eye on fellow Taoist Tang and don't let him have any accidents."
"As for the black demon ape, leave it to me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Xi nodded and replied, "Brother Ming, don't worry, as long as I'm here, Fellow Taoist Tang won't have any surprises!"
At this time, when Tang Xiuping heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression changed a lot.
He was a little nervous at first, fearing that Lin Tianming would not be the opponent of the Black Demon Ape.
Looking back now, Lin Tianming is so confident, and the woman in front of him is actually a Golden Core monk.
With two golden elixir stage powerhouses joining forces, the probability of success of this trip would be much higher, and his own safety would also increase significantly.
In this way, Tang Xiuping finally relaxed.
….
After he calmed down a little, Tang Xiuping said, "In this case, I would like to thank my senior for taking care of me."
"But Senior Lin should be more careful. After all, that guy has a lot of talent and blood, and his strength is indeed strong."
"Well……"
Lin Tianming nodded, and then continued: "Follow me closely, we will enter the canyon now!"
After saying this, Lin Tianming waved his sleeves and the Tiangang Sword suddenly appeared in his hand.
Behind him, Qin Xi also took out the aqua blue sword and was fully prepared.
Including Tang Xiuping, he also took out his magic weapon at this time and held it tightly in his hand. He also held two third-level talismans in his other hand, ready to take action at any time.
After doing this, Tang Xiuping's expression relaxed a lot, and he didn't look as nervous as before.
At this time, seeing that everyone was ready, Lin Tianming did not waste any time.
He jumped up and took the lead to fly towards the inside of the canyon.
Behind him, Tang Xiuping followed closely, and Qin Xi was also unwilling to lag behind. He sandwiched Tang Xiuping in the middle and was ready to take care of him at any time.
Soon, Lin Tianming and others rushed into the thick fog.
Lin Tianming's consciousness was widened at this time, and he led the two of them towards the interior of the canyon from a rugged path.
Along the way, Lin Tianming was always paying attention to every move around him, leading the two of them to move forward bit by bit.
More than an hour later, the three of them had traveled dozens of miles deep into the canyon.
At this time, they came to a densely forested area.
Lin Tianming paused briefly for a while. They hid in a crevice in the rocks and scanned every move around them.
At this moment, a violent roar came from the depths of the canyon.
The sound was loud, accompanied by a crackling sound, which seemed like the impact of rocks collapsing and giant trees falling to the ground.
Obviously, Lin Tianming and others entered the canyon and were finally discovered by the monster occupying this place.
But now, there was such a big movement in the originally quiet canyon, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Especially Lin Tianming, with his brows furrowed, was ready to fight.
"Xi'er, that third-level monster is coming!"
Lin Tianming reminded him, and then took the initiative to move forward and protect the two of them behind him.
Soon, a giant ape rushed out of the dark canyon and stopped not far in front of Lin Tianming.
Looking at it, this giant ape is all dark in color and is more than ten feet tall at least. The green hair scattered all over its body is particularly conspicuous.
At this time, the giant ape stayed in front of Lin Tianming, with a pair of dark eyes staring at Lin Tianming and the others, with a ferocious expression on his face.
However, this giant ape must have relatively high intelligence. When he saw Lin Tianming, he did not act rashly.
Its behavior seemed to feel Lin Tianming's terrifying aura.
And it also understood that even if it tried its best, it probably wouldn't be able to gain much advantage in front of the human monk in front of it.
At this time, Lin Tianming also did not take action immediately.
When he looked at the giant ape in front of him with a serious expression, he couldn't help but groan.
….
"Good fellow, it is indeed a mid-level third-order black devil ape!"
After coming back to their senses, Lin Tianming and the Black Demon Ape looked at each other, both sizing up each other.
After a few breaths, the Black Demon Ape saw that Lin Tianming and others were motionless, and seemed to have no intention of retreating.
Then, the Black Demon Ape suddenly looked up to the sky and roared loudly, and then began to beat its chest and stamp its feet.
At that moment, the aura of the black demon ape was slowly growing, and its momentum was rising steadily.
Seeing this scene, Lin Tianming knew in his heart that the Black Demon Ape was still ready to take action.
As for the movements of the Black Demon Ape, it should be to enhance its momentum and adjust to the best fighting state.
Knowing this, Lin Tianming did not intend to give the Black Demon Ape too many opportunities.
Under such circumstances, Lin Tianming shouted: "Xi'er, watch out for fellow Taoist Tang, I'm going to take action!"
After saying this, Lin Tianming patted his waist, and seventy-two Earthly Swords appeared out of thin air.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Tianming pinched his magic skills, and a stream of spiritual light bombarded the Earthly Sword.
At that moment, the Earth Evil Sword was seen turning around wildly for several times, then quickly escaped and disappeared into the thick fog.
At this time, when Tang Xiuping saw these evil swords appearing, his expression changed and he exclaimed.
"Those...those...are actually magic weapon-level spiritual swords!"
"Oh my God...Senior Lin, what level of magic weapon is this? It can actually be integrated into a long sword with seventy-two disease magic weapons. This is too wasteful and wealthy."
Tang Xiuping's tone was trembling and his face was extremely rosy.
Obviously, although the quality of each Earthly Sword is relatively ordinary, it is composed of seventy-two long swords.
Just to refine all these earth evil swords, I don’t know how much heavenly materials and earthly treasures would be consumed.
Such a magic weapon is simply unimaginable for a foundation-building monk.
Even Tang Xiuping, who came from the Tang family in Qingzhou and was the deacon of Tianlong Pavilion, had seen a lot of treasures and had contact with gold.
There are also many Dan monks.
Take the Tang family itself, there are dozens of Jindan monks.
But even so, he has never seen someone so generous, with a total of seventy-two magic weapon-level swords in hand.
It is no exaggeration to say that such a magic weapon is extremely expensive.
At this moment, under Tang Xiuping's shocked eyes, Lin Tianming had dispersed all the Earthly Evil Swords.
He moved very quickly, and with the help of the thick fog, all seventy-two earth evil swords were distributed around the black demon ape.
The key point is that although the black devil ape's intelligence is not low, it is not yet at the level of a human adult.
Although the Black Demon Ape had some doubts before, he later reflected on it.
As a result, the Black Demon Ape moved his body in a hurry and rushed towards Lin Tianming.
A long way away, the Black Demon Ape waved its boulder-like fist from afar and flew straight towards Lin Tianming's head.
It's a pity that Lin Tianming set up the formation too fast, and the Black Demon Ape was still one step late.
Before it rushed in front of Lin Tianming, it felt a huge pressure, which affected its speed a lot.
At that moment, the Black Demon Ape's speed was weak, and he felt like he was carrying a mountain on his back, and every step he took required greater strength.
Immediately afterwards, some sword energy passed in front of the Black Demon Ape, and the sword energy contained in it made its skin feel a sharp stinging sensation.
By now, the Black Demon Ape has felt the power of Lin Tianming, and understands that this state is very detrimental to its future.
Then, the Black Demon Ape roared angrily, with a very ferocious expression.
"Hohohoho..."
In an instant, a deafening roar spread throughout the canyon, shaking the surrounding rocks.
At this moment, in a stone crevice outside the sword formation.
The gap between Tang Xiuping's strength and this black demon ape was really huge.
When he heard the roar, he didn't have time to react. He immediately felt dizzy and could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing this, Qin Xi waved her jade hand, and a shield of ice appeared, protecting Tang Xiuping within it.
With this layer of light, Tang Xiuping felt much better, and his whole body gradually calmed down.
