Chapter 288: Chapter 287: Dantai Ao Xue! (First Update)

"Cackle cackle cackle..."

The eerie laughter came once again.

This time, everybody heard it loud and clear, coming from directly in front of them.

It was pitch dark there, utterly blurry, with the origin emanating from the shadows.

Zhou Dongbo, Nie Wenlun, Gu Anrong, and Wang Bingxuan intently stared at that patch of shadow.

Their hands tightly gripped their weapons, quivering with tension!

Meanwhile, Cao Yang took out a handful of Elixir, gulping it down, finally stopping the bleeding from the horrific wound on his chest!

"Tap tap tap!"

Footsteps.

Somewhat heavy!

The Seventh Rank Devil Ape was walking towards them!

Finally, it left the shadows, revealing itself before everyone.

It was a three-meter-tall ape, covered in black fur, resembling a large gorilla.

Its eyes were as large as brass bells, it bared its teeth, revealing a mouthful of dagger-like fangs!

"Hiss! It really is a Seventh Rank Devil Ape!"

Cao Yang drew a sharp breath in.

His face instantly turned deathly pale!

A Seventh Rank Devil Ape, its strength being comparable to a human cultivator at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

"What do we do..."

Gu Anrong asked in a trembling voice, nearly crying, her body shrinking back.

The Seventh Rank Devil Ape was exceptionally sinister, and it took pleasure in tormenting beautiful human women, more importantly, its physiological structure was similar to humans.

Thus, being caught by such a creature would surely lead to a ghastly fate!

"Don’t worry, I will definitely protect you!"

Zhou Dongbo patted his chest, positioning himself in front of Gu Anrong.

"Thank you!"

Gu Anrong hid behind Zhou Dongbo, feeling slightly more at ease.

"Miss Wang, I will protect you too!" Nie Wenlun faintly smiled, assuring Wang Bingxuan.

"You better take care of yourself! This is a Seventh Rank Devil Ape, it’s possible that all of us might perish here!"

Wang Bingxuan’s voice remained aloof and cold.

"Gu Anrong, Wang Bingxuan, both of you be careful, this Devil Ape likes beautiful women, and it is very cunning, yet very cowardly! So, later on, it will definitely target you two first, the four of us will hold off the Devil Ape! You two seize the chance to leave first, we’ll regroup later!" Cao Yang shouted loudly.

"Uh, okay."

Gu Anrong nodded, responding.

Wang Bingxuan didn’t speak, but she had also tacitly agreed!

There were three men present.

When Cao Yang mentioned ’four people’, it naturally included Dantai Ao Xue!

Exactly!

The Devil Ape loved beautiful women, but Dantai Ao Xue’s appearance was simply too plain!

So, she was temporarily safe!

"Aooo!"

Shortly after, the Seventh Rank Devil Ape moved, like a cheetah, it dashed forward, creating a blur of motion in front of everyone!

Rushing swiftly towards the group’s direction!

But.

To everyone’s surprise.

The target of the Seventh Rank Devil Ape was neither Gu Anrong nor Wang Bingxuan.

It was... surprisingly Dantai Ao Xue!

"What?"

Cao Yang was momentarily stunned, not expecting this outcome.

"Damn it! How is that possible! It’s actually targeting Dantai Ao Xue! Are the eyes of this Devil Ape blind? Does it not have eyes, to choose such an ugly woman!!!"

Zhou Dongbo blurted out without thinking.

But.

He quickly realized he had misspoken, and quickly shut his mouth!

Despite this, the other members of the team did not blame Zhou Dongbo.

After all, everyone thought the same: Dantai Ao Xue was indeed the ugliest among the three women in the team!

This Seventh Rank Demon Ape, wasn’t it known for liking beautiful human women? But why did it choose Dantai Ao Xue? Could it really be blind? Or does it have a different standard of beauty!

In the eyes of the Demon Ape, are beautiful women considered ugly, and the ugly ones considered beautiful?

Gu Anrong and Wang Bingxuan were also feeling confused.

At this moment.

The Seventh Rank Demon Ape had already dashed in front of Dantai Ao Xue, extending a pitch-black claw, aiming right at her chest.

"Get lost!"

Dantai Ao Xue shouted, her weapon horizontally in front of her, slashing fiercely!

This was a green long sword, tearing through the air with a whistling sound, targeting the throat of the Seventh Rank Demon Ape!

The Seventh Rank Demon Ape, didn’t dodge at all.

The long sword in Dantai Ao Xue’s hand struck precisely at its throat!

Surprisingly, it made a crisp sound.

"Dang!"

"What?"

Dantai Ao Xue paused for a moment, incredulous.

Her long sword, a Magic Treasure, couldn’t even cut through the skin of the Seventh Rank Demon Ape?

"You beast! Take another strike from me!"

Cao Yang roared lowly, suddenly leaping up in the air.

The huge sword in his hand, like splitting a mountain in two, chopped fiercely down on the head of the Seventh Rank Demon Ape!

This strike, hit accurately on the top of the Seventh Rank Demon Ape’s head.

Yet.

"Clang!"

A metallic tremor resounded.

Cao Yang only felt his arm go slightly numb; the Seventh Rank Demon Ape roared angrily, giving up on continuing to attack Dantai Ao Xue, and fiercely raised a hand to smack right at Cao Yang’s chest!

"Crack, crack!"

Cao Yang’s chest caved in instantly, his body flew backwards and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood in midair.

"How... how is this possible... this Demon Ape... has it really... developed an iron body impenetrable by swords and spears?" Cao Yang lay on the ground, his face extremely pale!

His huge sword was his life’s Magic Treasure, capable of cutting iron like mud!

Yet.

Today, it could not even cut open the head of the Seventh Rank Demon Ape, which was truly disheartening!

At this moment.

The Seventh Rank Demon Ape, no longer paying attention to Cao Yang, turned its gaze, its eyes filled with longing and greed, looking directly at Dantai Ao Xue!

"Roar!"

The Seventh Rank Demon Ape let out an excited roar, turning into a blur as it continued to pounce towards Dantai Ao Xue!

"Whoosh!"

Dantai Ao Xue’s toes lightly tapped the ground.

She retreated several meters, her voice coldly said, "Won’t you help?"

Gu Anrong and Wang Bingxuan were just about to move.

"Wait!"

The voice of Zhou Dongbo came, stopping them.

"What’s wrong?" Gu Anrong paused slightly, looking at Zhou Dongbo, puzzled.

Suddenly.

Zhou Dongbo’s face was gloomy, his eyes flickering uncertainly, with a hint of ruthlessness, he lowered his voice, "Isn’t now a good opportunity to escape?"

"What... what do you mean?"

Gu Anrong was stunned, slightly opening her mouth.

"Dongbo is right! Now is a great opportunity to escape! Don’t forget, this is a Seventh Rank Demon Ape. If it were a Sixth Rank, we might have a chance to win together! But this is a Seventh Rank Demon Ape, look at our captain, he’s severely injured, probably... doesn’t have much fighting strength left! If we rush in now, wouldn’t it be equivalent to courting death?" Nie Wenlun’s mouth twitched slightly.

"We are teammates, shouldn’t we rescue each other?" Wang Bingxuan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Teammates! When everyone is about to die, who the hell cares about others? Besides, Dantai Ao Xue is an eyesore! Even if she dies, no one would pity her! Do you really want to sacrifice your own lives for such an ugly woman?" Zhou Dongbo sneered again and again.

"Plus, if we leave now, we still have a chance to escape! If we hesitate, once the Seventh Rank Demon Ape captures Dantai Ao Xue, what will you two do?"

Wang Bingxuan fell silent.

Yes!

If the Seventh Rank Demon Ape captured Dantai Ao Xue, she and Gu Anrong would be in danger!

"Then... what are we waiting for? Let’s... let’s run!" Gu Anrong frantically stamped her foot.
