216 Chapter 216 Monkey King (1/2)
”Freezing Pearl!? Indeed the same as how it was recorded!”
Fang Yuan was filled with excitement but became serious. ”But we'll still have to test its effects!”
Casually, he pointed at one of the cavalries. ”You, go! Pick up the pearl!”
”Follow instructions!”
Number 17th's expression changed. As Qin Qing took in a deep breath, she commanded him.
”Yes, Sir!”
As he clenched his teeth, he wore a leather glove. He then walked up calmly and picked up the Freezing Pearl, and nothing happened.
”Mm. Take out your gloves and try again!”
Fang Yuan nodded his head and commanded him once more.
”Ah!”
Number 17th obeyed. As his finger touched the pearl, he screamed.
”Whoosh!”
A blue flash of light exploded from the pearl, covering him.
As the glow dimmed, there was only an icy statue left in his place. Number 17th, who was frozen in the ice, had stopped breathing!
”To freeze on touch. It can freeze anything as long as it's not elemental force, flowing water or anything similar. It is indeed a freezing pearl!”
Fang Yuan nodded his head. With the wave of his hands, the blue pearl landed in a jade box, which was subsequently taken in by the Mountain River Pearl.
Qin Qing and Qin Yun, both who witnessed this scene, remained silent.
”Indeed... I need these sacrificial knights!”
Fang Yuan heaved a sigh inside.
If he had prepared a bunch of sacrificial knights for his previous journeys, he wouldn't have encountered so many dangers himself!
”Mistress, master, let's go!”
Elder Zhou sighed. ”Number 13 and 17 are both dead. Let's not make their death for nothing. As long as we remember them and pay respects to them once we are back in our family, and not forgetting to compensate their descendants...”
”That's right!”
Qin Qing licked her lips and stood up with determination. ”We not only have to pay our respects to them, we must also bring them into the Qin Family's ancestry! As long as our Qin Family exist, we must let them live on!”
With that, she pulled Qin Yun over.
”Sister... I know...”
Qin Yun's eyes were red.
He knew that if he were to fail in being the heir of the family, then these two sacrificial knights would have died for nothing.
”Let's go!”
He gritted his teeth and followed on.
”Very good!”
Fang Yuan walked on. As he felt the Qin siblings catching up, he nodded his head.
He felt that after the death of the two sacrificial knights, both Qin Yun and Qin Qing had the magnanimity of a heir. They had matured extremely quick in such a harsh environment.
”Phew...”
Fang Yuan sighed. ”Let's take this opportunity and cover as much ground as we can!”
Everyone remained silent as they started to rush.
”It's around midnight now, and the group of spiritual monkeys should be sleeping and not wandering outside...”
It was pitch black everywhere and in the fog, the visibility was at its worst.
It was a good thing that everyone was a martial artist with a considerable cultivation level. Everyone had a keen sense of sight and hearing and could rely on the dim moonlight to continue their journey.
The mountainous road was rugged. Coupled with the fact that they were making their way in the dark, Qin Yun had fallen down a couple of times and his hands were bloodied.
Elder though looked around and whispered. ”Only if we're extremely unlucky, would we encounter the mysterious species here...”
”Wuuu! Wuuuu!”
As he spoke, a voice full of energy was heard.
”Is that the sound of the monkeys?!”
Qin Yun exclaimed.
In the dark, a pair of eyes glowed and stared at Qin Yun.
”Flick!”
Fang Yuan shook his head and casually flicked his fingers.
”Whoosh!”
He shot out a concentrated beam of elemental force. Like an arrow, it flew in the air and glowed.
Qin Yun's pupils contracted. With the illumination from the streak of elemental force, he could see the appearance of the spiritual monkey.
It was extremely big in size and was taller than himself. The muscles on its arms were bulging and it was even thicker than his own legs. As its hands stretched past its knees, its face was fiery red, and there was a mysterious glow coming from its mind palace.
The unique thing was that this spiritual monkey appeared to be extremely old, and the fur on it was turning white. There was a sense of spirituality in its eyes, giving off the vibe that it was a cunning monkey!
Without a doubt, the spirituality of this monkey was shocking. If it was given more time, it might develop its spiritual eye and awaken itself!
However, all of its hopes and dreams would end here!
”Chi!”
The streak of elemental force struck through its mind palace, breaking a bloodied hole in the process. Its brain fluid exploded out and the entire scene was a mess.
”Let's go!”
Fang Yuan sighed. ”After killing this old monkey, the rest will soon come along. We need to move quickly!”
”Quickly!”
Qin Qing's expression changed. Without hesitation, they were on their way again.
Without consideration for any ambush that might be present, everyone used their lightness skill. Their speed of advanced increased and after a short while, they had already passed a mountain stream. The silhouettes on both sides were retreating quickly as they advanced.
”Wuuu! Wuuu!”
At that point in time, there were many sounds from the monkeys in the surroundings. It was continuous and spread far and wide, striking fear in those who heard it.
”Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Many pairs of eyes appeared and surrounded them like candles.
”This is... Monkey... monkey tribe!”
Qin Qing lost her voice.
”It seems that we are too late. We're surrounded!”
