Chapter 349 – The Great Dahl Ape (2/2)

“Bang!”

Those continuous explosions caused the entire outer periphery of the Forest of Fog to shake. The huge barrier had disappeared, and the Swordback Tiger’s Nascent Soul had disappeared along with it amongst the explosions.

Lei Yu was currently standing back where the first barrier of the Forest of Fog was located at, which showed how fast his speed was!

The huge explosion had caused those rotten trees to disintegrate into wood ash before scattering all over the place. The previously dense area near the barrier was now open land, giving Lei Yu some difficulty to adapting to the sight.

Lei Yu moved forward without reducing his speed. Even if it was deaf, this huge explosion would clearly alert the second barrier’s guardian – the Great Dahl Ape.

Sure enough, beyond the second barrier location revealed a small firm mountain! As one looked closer, this wasn’t a mountain but a huge black ape!

“That’s the Great Dahl Ape?” Lei Yu asked in shock to no one in particular. What appeared before him was an ape that was over a hundred meters! ¹ Its height was seriously no different from a small mountain!

Raising his head, Lei Yu started carefully observing it. It was no different than your typical ape except for its much, much, larger stature. Its arms and chest seemed to be also larger than normal… Its blood red eyes appear to be looking down at Lei Yu with disdain while sharp fangs could be seen protruding from its mouth. One could also see the great ape spray white mist out of its nostrils as it breathed out heavily.

The Devil King’s voice was heard: “You have to attack its eyes before it goes berserk or else you’ll be in big trouble!”

The Devil King’s advice was necessary because Lei Yu didn’t want to entangle himself with this huge creature for too long. Even if he was able to dodge its attacks at high speeds, it still required a large amount of time to escape the vicinity of it, not to mention if it went berserk.

Lei Yu took a deep breath before taking out a purple bead from his Universal Pouch. He injected a trace of internal energy into it before tossing it out. The moment it neared the great ape, Lei Yu activated the internal energy inside the bead to detonate it. Suddenly, an overwhelming amount of lightning that covered the skies started crashing down. The violent booming noises it caused had caught the attention of the great ape. And this happened to be Lei Yu’s last Heavenly Thunder Bead!

“Now’s the time!” Lei Yu roared out before rushing up. He was using the great ape’s lower limbs as leverage before heading towards its head a hundred meters up.

The Devil King had mentioned before that the Great Dahl Ape’s defense was unbelievably strong. Even if it encountered a super expert at the Mahayana stage, it was capable of holding its own for a few rounds. Its defensive attributes could almost compare with the Black Tortoise Divine Beast, and the only difference was one’s a divine beast while the other was a demonic beast.

Lei Yu’s climbing wasn’t slow at all. The Great Dahl Ape’s fur was very long which allowed him to have an easier time scaling it. With the overwhelming amount of lightning striking at the great ape like it was tickling it, it had actually drawn the great ape’s full attention. And it was precisely this reason that it didn’t detect the approaching danger to its huge head!
