"Grimalazian baby!"
Jiang Zhichen exclaimed, his eyes suddenly brightened, and shouted: "Yu Tong, you kid has gone deep into the ape's nest again?"
Yu Tong, the man in white shirt, is holding a black monster cub in his hand.
It was only the size of a small milk dog, with black hair all over its body. Its head looked like an ape, but its face was flat and its features were sunken, making it extremely ugly.
No wonder it is called the Ghost Faced Ape, it does look ugly.
This was a recently born baby of the Grimace Ape. Its eyes were closed tightly, its body was curled up in Yu Tong's palm, and it made humming sounds from time to time in its throat.
"Captain, how are you doing?"
Yu Tong proudly showed off to Jiang Zhichen.
Qiu Fei learned from the fused information that there was a widely circulated legend in the cultivation world.
Cultivators raise the cubs of monsters from an early age and get along with them day and night for a long time, which will enhance the relationship between people and monsters.
When this kind of relationship reaches a certain level, people and monsters can sign a soul contract.
There is a high chance that a monster will become a cultivator's pet.
Whether the legend is credible or not is unknown.
I haven't heard of any successful examples, at least, Qiu Fei hasn't seen them in Gu Xuan Sect.
Presumably, in the process of getting along with monsters, cultivators pay a very high price, and this price is not something ordinary people can bear.
In the end, I could only give up halfway.
Even so, it still cannot stop the cultivator's ambition to capture the cubs of Warcraft.
What if it succeeds?
This is the sentiment of many cultivators.
"Look at your face!"
A tall man looked disgusted, "Yu Tong, how could you succeed without the help of my brothers?"
"Thank you so much, brothers!"
A mean smile appeared on the corner of Yu Tong's mouth, and he was so happy that he held the Ghost Faced Ape in his hand.
"What to do now?"
Jiang Zhichen looked worriedly at the jungle at his feet.
In the jungle, "rumbling" sounds were still heard from time to time, and the powerful ghost-faced ape tirelessly attacked the guardian formation.
Yu Tong put the baby Grimace into the storage bag and put away his playful expression.
He said seriously: "This female Ghost Faced Ape belongs to the third-level intermediate level, and its combat power is stronger than the sixth level of Yaoguang Realm. Even if the five of us work together, it will be difficult to hurt it."
Among the five, Jiang Zhichen, who has the highest level, is only at the fifth level of the Dongming Realm, while the other four are between the third and fourth levels of the Dongming Realm.
This level is equivalent to the strength of the second-level intermediate level of Warcraft. It is a big level different from the third-level intermediate level of the Ghost Faced Ape, and it is impossible to fight against it.
"Yu Tong, you are causing me trouble! Tell me, how did you succeed?"
Jiang Zhichen asked.
Lu Wei interrupted and answered for Yu Tong, "Our three brothers provided cover and were responsible for luring away the cub's parents. Yu Tong sneaked into the cave and was responsible for stealing."
"It's not like you don't know how powerful the Ghost Faced Ape is."
Jiang Zhichen's face darkened, "Since you stole their baby, you should have thought of their revenge. Why do you dare to lure it to Xiaofengling?"
"Captain, you have wronged these brothers!"
An injured man explained: "Brother Miao and I are responsible for diverting the male grimace away, and we chose the northwest direction."
"I'll take the northeast corner."
Lu Wei also explained for himself, "It was also far away from Xiaofengling. After three days, I wandered back here to join everyone."
"I believe in you brothers!"
Yu Tong also wanted to explain, but Jiang Zhichen waved his hand to stop him, "Now the Ghost Faced Ape is attacking the mountain guarding formation, and it must be lured away."
"We've tried multiple times."
Yu Tong grimaced, "Captain, before you come back, the four of us brothers took turns to seduce you, but we all failed."
Jiang Zhichen said "Oh" and said solemnly: "I'll try it."
As he said that, he was about to activate the flying talisman under his feet, suddenly stopped, turned back to Qiu Fei and said, "Go to their side."
"yes!"
Qiu Fei responded.
The two flying talismans were not far apart. Qiu Fei jumped up and easily jumped onto the opposite flying talisman.
Lu Weile glanced at Qiu Fei and said with a smile: "Captain, who is this kid? He can't be your illegitimate son living outside, right?"
"go away!"
Jiang Zhichen scolded, without any intention of introducing Qiu Fei, and activated the flying talisman to swoop down below like an arrow.
In the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared into the jungle.
In an instant, the angry roar of the monster came from the jungle, and the trees in the forest shook violently.
Qiu Fei heard Jiang Zhichen making a sharp whistling sound, and he was lured all the way to the northwest.
This situation lasted for less than a quarter of an hour and then stopped suddenly.
After chasing for a certain distance, the Ghost Faced Ape gave up, then returned to the mountain guarding formation and launched another attack.
In the following time, Jiang Zhichen tried several times but failed.
Ghost-faced apes are as smart as humans, but they just don't get fooled.
Finally, Jiang Zhichen angrily flew into the air on his flying talisman and came to a few people, his face extremely ugly.
"The IQ of this grim-faced ape has already caught up with that of humans!"
Lu Wei muttered.
"I suspect that this female Jiralama is not the mother of the cubs!"
Jiang Zhichen thought for a moment and suddenly said.
"What?"
Everyone was surprised when they heard this.
"Captain, apart from my brothers, in the entire Sao Feng Brigade, who else is not afraid of death and dares to offend a high-level monster like the Grimace?"
Yu Tong actually told the truth.
As we all know, high-level monsters come with their own coercion.
If the cultivator's level is too low, let alone attack, even if he is close to it, he will be affected by this invisible coercion, which will lead to fear.
In severe cases, it may even lead to heart failure and mental disorder.
"I have a doubt."
Lu Wei suddenly said: "Since this female Ghost Faced Ape is not the mother of the cubs, how did she appear in Xiaofengling? And she is so determined to protect the mountain formation that she won't leave even if she doesn't leave."
"There is only one possibility!"
Jiang Zhichen said in a deep voice: "Among the disciples of our Xiaofeng Brigade, someone stole his child and has successfully returned to the team."
"Two cubs?"
Yu Tong screamed strangely, "Who is this guy? He's even better than my brothers! Captain, our Sao Feng Brigade is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger!"
"Now is not the time to dwell on this."
Jiang Zhichen frowned and said, "The right way is to lure away the Ghost-faced Ape. If it attacks like this, the mountain-protecting formation will suffer too much damage, and it will be troublesome to repair it in the future."
Living in the mountains, surrounded by monsters, without the protection of the mountain guard formation, it would be difficult for even cultivators to stay stationed for a long time.
Lu Wei looked frustrated and grimaced, "Captain, I've tried several ways, but it... just won't leave!"
"The Ghost Faced Ape is powerful."
Yu Tong also sighed, "The influence of the pressure on our minds is too great, and I don't dare to get within three feet of it."
As the captain of the Sao Feng Brigade, Jiang Zhichen was responsible for the safety of all team members, and was helpless in the face of this sudden appearance of the Ghost-faced Ape.
When he raised his head and saw Qiu Fei's thoughtful look, his heart moved, "Qiu Fei, do you have any feasible solutions?"
He was not interested in this new disciple recommended by Zong Shouyi.
The level of the third level of Yin Yuan Realm is indeed too low to survive in the demon hunting brigade. If Ren Zehai hadn't persuaded him, he would never have accepted it.
Since Zong Shouyi strongly recommended him, he was naturally outstanding, and it was just right to use the Ghost Faced Ape incident to test him.
Qiu Fei raised his head and saw that the five people were looking at him with hope, and he couldn't help but hesitate in his heart.
"fine!"
Yu Tong smiled and patted his shoulder to show encouragement, "Qiu Fei, you can say whatever you think in your heart. It doesn't matter if you are wrong!"
Qiu Fei thought for a while and organized some words in his heart.
Then, he slowly said: "Brothers, I am young and ignorant, and have little knowledge. If there is anything I say that is wrong, please point it out."
"Straighten your ass!"
Lu Wei was the most impatient and cursed, "Are you a man? You can just say what you want, so long-winded?"
Qiu Fei could only say: "Brothers, have you noticed that for most of the day, this ghost-faced ape seems to have been attacking the mountain-protecting formation without stopping."
The five people were in a daze at the same time and did not react for a while.
Lu Wei was impatient and shouted: "Qiu Fei, what do you want to say? Don't spit it out and hide it half."
Jiang Zhichen understood Qiu Fei's intention, "You mean, this continuous attack will consume a lot of the Ghost Faced Ape's physical energy?"
Qiu Fei nodded in agreement.
"So what?"
Yu Tong asked back.
Qiu Fei explained: "After a monster consumes a lot of physical energy and needs to recover, it will look for places with strong spiritual energy.
If we have an ore or spiritual stone with strong spiritual energy in our hands, will it... risk its life to come and snatch it? "
"definitely!"
Lu Wei slapped his thigh and shouted excitedly.
"We only have a small amount of low-grade spiritual stones on us, and I'm afraid it won't be interested in them. Where can we find those ores and spiritual stones with strong spiritual energy at this moment?"
Jiang Zhichen frowned again.
The five of them looked at me, and I looked at you, and in the end, they all shook their heads silently.
"Does this... count?"
Qiu Fei stretched out his right arm and spread his palm towards the five people.
A piece of vivid, bright, red ore the size of a thumb cap was placed in the palm of Qiu Fei's hand, exuding a rich aura.
Just when the ore was displayed, a humming sound suddenly came from the storage bag on Yu Tong's waist.
"Are you ape boy awake?"
Yu Tong was greatly surprised and hurriedly took out the baby Direfaced Ape from the storage bag.
Everyone saw that it still had its eyes closed, but it kept twitching its sunken, ugly nose, and moved its little head towards the ore that was emitting spiritual energy.
"Ci'ao! This ore really works!"
Lu Wei couldn't help shouting and couldn't help himself.
"Qiu Fei, what kind of ore is this?"
Jiang Zhichen asked.
"Phoenix stone."
Qiu Fei said calmly.
Qiu Fei dug this in Mine No. 35 and kept it. He was reluctant to exchange it for sect points, but he didn't expect it to come in handy today.
Phoenix marrow stone is a top-grade ore and is extremely valuable.
Just now, Qiu Fei had hesitated in his heart, worrying whether he would be coveted by someone interested in taking it out.
When he saw that the strongest members of Sao Feng's team were helpless in the face of the powerful Ghost Faced Ape, he had no choice but to take a gamble.
Jiang Zhichen was not polite at all. He took the phoenix marrow stone and said to Yu Tong: "You kid caused this. You can't just get benefits without making any contribution."
After that, he threw the phoenix marrow stone to him and ordered: "Send this plague god away as soon as possible. I will be upset if I look at it even more."
Yu Tong caught the phoenix marrow stone and couldn't help but look at it. He praised it with a "tsk tsk" in his mouth: "Good guy! As expected, the spiritual energy is rich!"
