Chapter 585: The Strange Situation
Ye Xiao was walking towards the depths of Lifeless Forest. The Lifeless Forest was very big.
As Ye Xiao was walking, a dark green poisonous snake jumped out from the tree and bit towards Ye Xiao"s neck. At the same time, its venom instantly spewed out from its teeth, bringing with it a fishy smell!
"Martial King Realm Magical Beast, Corrosive Green Snake."
Ye Xiao immediately used his palm to attack the snake. His spirit energy burst forth from his body. The Corrosive Green Snake exploded before it could even react. Ye Xiao dodged the stinky blood that was about to spurt on his body.
But there was not only one Corrosive Green Snake, one after another more and more Corrosive Green Snakes kept jumping on him and Ye Xiao kept killing them.
He had to kill over 200 Corrosive Green Snake just like this. At the same time, his strength also kept increasing.
A faint stench drifted in front of him, making Ye Xiao"s lips curl up into a smile. Corrosive Green Snake lived in groups. There would definitely be a snake nest here. If it was anyone else, they would avoid them in fear. Because the Corrosive Green Snake had no value at all. Its snake gall was extremely poisonous. Its snake gallbladder could neither be eaten nor used to concoct pills. And its venom can easily leave unrecoverable scars on human skin. Only those who cultivated poison would occasionally kill some Corrosive Green Snake to cultivate strange cultivation techniques.
But Ye Xiao was different. Not only the poison of these snakes would not be able to harm him at all. After all, poison meant nothing to him because of the Celestial Poison Imperial Dragon.
Ye Xiao wanted to find the nest of Corrosive Green Snake because this will increase his strength by a lot. After all, there will be thousands of Corrosive Green Snake in one place.
He walked around three to four hundred meters and saw a cold valley. Corrosive Green Snake could be seen everywhere inside. Some of them were entangled together, while others were looking up at the invaders who had entered their territory.
Ye Xiao looked at the group of Corrosive Green Snakes and his eyes revealed a look of wild joy. In the depths of the valley, there was a Corrosive Green Snake King that was over a hundred times bigger than an ordinary Corrosive Green Snakes. It was similar to a python. It was surrounded by many "concubines". They were either Martial King Realm or Martial Emperor Realm Magical Beast.
"I"ll take care of your subordinates first, then I"ll kill you." Ye Xiao smiled and muttered.
After that, he jumped into the middle of thousands of Corrosive Green Snakes and started ma.s.sacring mercilessly along the way. Their poison did no harm to Ye Xiao.
Fifty kills!
Eighty kills!
One hundred kills!
Two hundred kills!
Five hundred kills!
When nearly five hundred Corrosive Green Snakes died in Ye Xiao"s hands, the Corrosive Green Snake King slowly swam towards him. It kept spitting out its tongue. Its long and cold eyes stared coldly at Ye Xiao.
"Martial Ancestor Realm Magical Beast, Corrosive Green Snake King!"
The snakes beside it rushed towards Ye Xiao first. The sky was filled with the corrosive poisonous fog that they had spewed out. However, nothing happened to him.
"Go to h.e.l.l!"
After Ye Xiao killed the snakes quickly, Ye Xiao was overjoyed. After which, he charged toward the Corrosive Green Snake King.
The Corrosive Green Snake King meeting Ye Xiao could be said to be the sorrow of its life. It didn"t even have time to struggle a few times before it was killed by Ye Xiao. It was mainly because Ye Xiao"s strength increased a lot by killing hundreds of Corrosive Green Snakes, reaching the Seventh Stage of Martial Emperor Realm.
So, killing a Martial Ancestor Realm magical beast was not that difficult for him. And after killing the Corrosive Green Snake King, Ye Xiao"s strength increased again and he reached the Ninth Stage of Martial Emperor Realm.
One day later, Ye Xiao suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from in front of him.
"Quick, trap this fire ape!"
"Don"t let it run. Its blood has the attribute to attract many weaker magical beasts. As long as we capture it alive, we can use it to kill many more magical beasts and increase our strength."
"Be careful of the flame it spits out. It is enough to burn us to ashes!"
When Ye Xiao heard this, he narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly, then silently walked over. He pushed aside the tree branches and clearly saw the situation in front of him.
A person called Ning Yan, who was also representing the Great Martial Sacred Land, was leading the other three Master Artists to fight with a three-meter tall fire ape, while the others were protecting him.
The Fire Ape"s body was covered with fiery red fur and there was a bright flame on its tail that was emitting a frightening temperature. It was a Martial King Realm Magical Beast. It should have been very powerful. However, there was blood on its abdomen. Moreover, it should have been seriously injured. Otherwise, how could it have been surrounded by Ning Yan, who was only a Golden Core Realm martial artist, along with three Peak Qi Condensation Realm martial artists and the other little followers?
Suddenly, Ning Yan threw out a golden silk net and covered the Fire Ape. Even the golden flame on its tail couldn"t burn the golden silk net.
"I know you can understand human language. Stop struggling. This net is an Immortal Rank Treasure. Even Immortal Kings would find it difficult to escape from this net, not to mention you who is only a Mortal Rank magical beast!"
Ning Yan said with a cold smile.
The Fire Ape"s eyes revealed a trace of despair. It slowly calmed down and no longer struggled.
"It has submitted!"
"We have finally done something big this time. Now, with the help of the continuous supply of its blood, we can kill many weaker magical beasts and increase our strength!"
The three Peak Qi Condensation Realm martial artists laughed complacently.
Ning Yan revealed a pleased smile. He waved his hand and said, "Everyone, be quiet. I have decided to bring it directly to Yan Ning. He is the strongest among us and can control it completely."
One of the people asked curiously, "Ning Yan, you mean we are not going to use this magical beast for ourselves?
Ning Yan nodded. "Are you a fool, Yan Ning is the strongest among us. With the help of this beast"s blood, he will definitely be able to raise his strength more. At that time, he will have a higher chance to get hold of the Divine Level Treasure Sacred Leader talked about."
"What you said makes sense, I agree." That person nodded and replied.
However, right at this moment, a figure rushed out from behind them at lightning speed. That figure grabbed the golden net and ran away, leaving behind an elegant back view.
The Fire Ape seized the opportunity to leap over everyone"s heads and ran towards the top of the mountain.
"d.a.m.n it! That Fire ape is escaping!"
Ning Yan roared furiously. He could only watch helplessly as the Fire Ape ran up the mountain.
"Who was that? I want to tear that figure into pieces!"
The person who previously questioned Ning Yan punched a tree. The thick tree trunk was broken by him. It could be seen how angry he was. The other people in the group were the same.
"I saw who it was. That was a monkey. I failed to see clearly but I know that it was a monkey!"
Suddenly, one of the group"s people came forward and said.
.....
That person was right because Ye Xiao saw clearly from the distance. It really was a monkey who helped the Fire Ape escape.
What surprised Ye Xiao was the speed of that monkey. That monkey was really too fast considering that its strength was even lower than the Fire Ape.
The monkey"s body was purple in colour that was really unique but it was not that caught Ye Xiao"s eyes. What caught Ye Xiao"s eyes was that the monkey"s eyes were dull. It was as if the monkey was already dead and was being controlled by something or someone.
"What was that thing? Why was it able to move even though it was already dead?"
Ye Xiao muttered in confusion. This Lifeless Forest was becoming more and more mysterious. There really was something unique about this forest.
Ye Xiao took a deep breath and chased after the monkey as he ran in the direction where the monkey escaped to.
He really wanted to the reason behind the monkey"s appearance that was already dead for who knows how long. And if possible, he also wanted to uncover the secret behind this forest.
There was also that Fire Ape. In this lifeless forest, the Fire Ape was the only living being Ye Xiao had seen.. There must be something strange behind the appearance of this Fire Ape.
