Chapter 803 A Mad Monkey (2/2)
However, the monkey hadn't put any pressure on Darren and Finley. On the contrary, it gave off a natural aura that intimidated other creatures.
”Darren, we must be careful. This monkey scares me. And the fear I feel is coming from the depths of my soul.” Finley sent a secret message to Darren.
”I feel the same,” Darren replied.
”We came here in search of a kind of herb. If something we did made you uncomfortable, please forgive us, sir.” Darren was the first to speak.
”Well, you don't need to be so formal and apologetic. You can just call me bro.
Now, come and sit here.”
The monkey was as polite as the farmer from the human race.
Both Darren and Finley felt their blood freeze when the monkey behaved so calmly and friendly.
”No, thanks. We just need to find the Fiendish Root, and then we'll leave. We don't want to bother you, bro.” Finley waved his hand as he tri
t stand it anymore. He shook his head and probed the cave with his spiritual sense to look for the so-called Fiendish Root.
According to what he had been told, the Fiendish Root grew in wet underground surroundings. It would be easy to find as it would emit an extremely strong evil aura.
Darren found something after searching for a while.
He leaped a few feet forward, released a wave of blade and sword intents toward the dark red ground, and opened a cave ten thousand feet deep.
Darren jumped into the cave and followed the strong evil aura inside. When he reached the end, he was stunned.
There was no Fiendish Root here. Instead, the cave was full of heads. Most of these belonged to the black mutants.
They had died miserably—the remnants of their skulls were covered in claw marks, or their heads were cracked open, and their brains had been shattered.
The stench of death and rot made Darren want to throw up.
”The monkey is so ferocious. How could it be possible that it has no strength left now? Did he hide his power from Finley and me on purpose?” Darren looked serious as he tried to find answers to these questions.
The howl of the monkey reached Darren's ears. A shiver tingled his spine as he glanced at the creatures one final time. The scene was so tragic.
Darren focused his spiritual sense again as he tried to identify the location emitting the strongest evil aura.
Buzz.
Darren's brain trembled a little. He sensed a breath of fiendish aura that was so intense that it made his heart palpitate. It was almost as powerful as the moment when Darren sensed the first fiend ancestor's broken body.
”It's that monkey...”
Darren found that his spiritual sense had converged on that monkey.
