Chapter 355: Break Down (1/2)

In another area of the planet, a young lady was flying through the sky. Although she behaved as if nothing was out of place, the young lady had a fish on top of her head. This alone was quite unusual, but what made it even more peculiar was that the fish was constantly nagging the woman. “Hurry up! Other two legged beasts can lockbreak, but you have been an utter disappointment so far! Why did I have to be found by you back then? You’re flat-chested and not curvy at all—what have you been eating your whole life? I told you to drink more papaya milk, but you wouldn’t believe me…”

A vein in the young lady’s forehead bulged out, seemingly ready to explode at any moment.

Far away in the universe, aboard a huge spacecraft, there were more than a hundred fully armed soldiers pumped and ready. In the vessel's command room, a beautiful but cold woman looked at a screen. “How much longer until we arrive?”

“One day.”

“Try to hurry.”

“Affirmative.”

Outside of Savage Ape Planet, a fleet adorned with the Vastdearth Sect’s crest appeared. However, this fleet did not cordon off the Savage Ape Planet; instead, they merely expelled the various spacecraft that passed by, essentially isolating Savage Ape Planet.

Of the various groups that tried to seal off Savage Ape Planet, the Vastdearth Sect was not one of them.

On the surface of Savage Ape Planet, Lu Yin knocked a savage ape away with a swift kick. Zhao Ran was mesmerized by the scene. “So cool.”

Yue Xianzi rolled her eyes; this girl was too naive.

Lu Yin was in a pretty good mood. After all, there was a pretty cute girl beside him who kept showering compliments upon him. Any man would be happy to be in his situation.

“It’s a pity that she’s not much in the looks department. She does have a nice temperament, though. What do you think, Seventh Bro? Do you like her?” the Ghost Monkey asked.

Lu Yin ignored the monkey.

Before long, a dozen figures flew above the group in the sky. They were all wearing the same uniform, and it was obvious that they were from the same power.

The dozen people flying overhead were nothing more than mere Melders, so Yue Xianzi’s attack easily froze them solid, causing them to plummet to the ground like blocks of ice.

“Where is the tree-shaped sourcebox?” Li Yin asked directly.

The dozen people who had been frozen fearfully looked at Lu Yin. With quivering fingers, they pointed in the northwestern direction. “Over- over at Nine Peaks Mountain.”

Yue Xianzi snatched one of the people’s gadgets and browsed through its information. She soon nodded at Lu Yin and said, “He’s telling the truth.”

Lu Yin grunted in acknowledgment. They left the Melders in peace and started out again, this time towards Nine Peaks Mountain.

Nine Peaks Mountain was a very conspicuous landmark; it was a mountain with nine peaks, each in the shape of a Savage Ape skull. Nine Peaks Mountain were joined together by their valleys, altogether forming Nine Peaks Mountain. The name “Nine Peaks Mountain” could not have been any more apt given the formation’s appearance.

Beep, beep, beep!

Lu Yin’s personal gadget sounded with an alert. He accepted the communications request and was shocked to see that Master Wusheng had contacted him.

“Greetings, Master Wusheng,” Lu Yin respectfully greeted.

“Lu Yin, you must be aware of the Vastdearth Weave’s Savage Ape Planet’s Lockbreaking exchange event. Are you attending?” Master Wusheng went straight to the point.

“I am already on Savage Ape Planet,” Lu Yin responded.

“Good. I was afraid that you wouldn’t dare attend. You should participate and get some experience. Witnessing others’ attempts at lockbreaking will be helpful to you,” Master Wusheng replied.

Lu Yin felt a warmth sensation rise in his heart. “Thank you, master.”

“This event has been approved by the society, so they intend to have the younger generation resolve this issue. The older generation is not allowed to interfere. Take full advantage of this, but also remember to not do anything overly rash. With your current abilities, it’s impossible for you to successfully unlock this sourcebox. It will also be difficult to rescue you if you make any mistakes. Remember that,” Master Wusheng warned.

Lu Yin acknowledged Master Wusheng’s warning. “I understand and will remember your words.”

“Make sure that you do. Most likely, some very interesting people will appear on Savage Ape Planet, so pay attention.” Master Wusheng then disconnected after leaving Lu Yin with those final words.

Lu Yin was left speechless; why did everyone only give him a part of the information? Who were the interesting people that Wusheng was referring to? Master Wusheng didn’t even bother clarifying!

Half a day later, Lu Yin and the other two who were still hurriedly making their way to Nine Peaks Mountain were only a few hours away. Then, high above them in the sky, a spacecraft passed by. All of a sudden, Lu Yin’s gaze turned apprehensive as he looked up. A gigantic shadow covered the ground, and a savage ape that was easily a hundred meters tall leaped into the sky, ferociously charging at the spacecraft.

The spacecraft immediately tried to evade, but the savage ape still managed to crash into the vehicle, its attack even shattering the void.

Zhao Ran was terrified, and her face turned bone-white.

Yue Xianzi’s pupils constricted as well. Her personal gadget revealed that this savage ape had a power level comparable to a Cruiser’s; it had a power level of 52,000.

Lu Yin and the other two quickly landed and cautiously stared at the savage ape.

Savage apes were fierce by nature and would even kill their own kind. Additionally, these apes knew their territory very well and were extremely skilled at sensing any intruder in their domain.

This savage ape that was as strong as a Cruiser easily shattered the spacecraft with a single stomp of its foot. The bottom of its foot was slick with blood as it left the ground dyed red.

This scene once again terrified Zhao Ran.

Yue Xianzi’s face also turned pale. Even without any sapience, a creature with the power of a Cruiser was not something that she could fight against. As she considered this, she looked towards Lu Yin.

Lu Yin squinted his eyes and looked at the savage ape’s bloodshot eyes even as they swiveled over to meet his gaze. His scalp turned numb, but he had no choice but to go head-to-head with this Cruiser-level beast. It was a good thing that savage apes could not learn any battle techniques, or he might not be a match for it. Thirty Stacks was no joke.
