Acquaintance (Beast)

The Two-Headed Ferocious Beast was enormous, and the energy contained in its flesh was greater than that of the Unicorn Wolf King. After eating it, the Black Armor Giant Ape grew thirty centimeters taller and became a size larger.

In addition to that, under the attribute page, there were 2 more units of Extraordinary Element of 'Cracking'.

Crack! Cracking, next time it evolves, it will grow two heads!

Imagining a head popping out of its shoulder, the Black Armor Giant Ape shook its head, deciding against it. One head looked more normal.

The massive Black Armor Giant Ape continued to walk deeper into the forest. Each step caused the ground to shake, forming huge footprints.

With its increased size and density, the Black Armor Giant Ape became increasingly heavy. Its movements resembled a mobile hill, imposing a daunting presence.

For the next half hour, the Black Armor Giant Ape found nothing. After traveling over ten kilometers, it approached the abyss crack that tore the earth once again.

Upon arriving, the Black Armor Giant Ape keenly noticed that the environment was somewhat different.

The black trees were sparser, and the hard ground had numerous small holes and scratches, similar to the traces left by some kind of Ferocious Beast.

Immediately, the Black Armor Giant Ape's spirits lifted, as this meant there was food.

Before long, a hundred-meter-high 'hill' appeared ahead, riddled with holes, with Ferocious Beasts covered in black scales entering and exiting.

Slender bodies, ferocious heads, and sharp claws—the familiar appearance evoked a sense of kinship in the Black Armor Giant Ape.

However, these Black Ant Ferocious Beasts were different from those at the edge of the forest. They were larger, nearly five meters long, with more pronounced keratinization on their bodies, and dense black thorns covering their limbs and claws.

Moreover, their numbers were astonishing. That hill was not a hill at all, but an anthill.

Chī kǎ kǎ!

Two Black Thorn Ant Ferocious Beasts, upon seeing the Black Armor Giant Ape, emitted a frictional, percussive alarm. Immediately, the anthill stirred, and densely packed Ferocious Beasts emerged.

Furthermore, a large number of Black Thorn Ant Ferocious Beasts climbed up from the edge of the crack in the distance, below the slope. More than a hundred of them surged towards the Black Armor Giant Ape like a tide.

A dark mass, their passage caused the ground to shake and dust to billow.

Roar! The Black Armor Giant Ape pounded its chest with both fists, emitting a violent roar. Its burly, massive form moved suddenly, fearlessly charging towards the ant swarm.

The distance of several hundred meters was instantly crossed, and the two sides collided violently.

Pēng pēng pēng! At the moment of impact, several Black Ant Ferocious Beasts that pounced on the Giant Ape in mid-air were directly knocked away, their scales shattered and bones broken.

Qiāng qiāng qiāng! Several pairs of claws that could tear apart steel bars landed on the Black Armor Ferocious Beast's feet, emitting a crisp metallic sound, but they could not tear through the tough scales.

Boom boom! The black giant fist fell, instantly blasting the heads of two Black Ant Ferocious Beasts, spraying blood and causing the earth to shake violently with the impact.

Roar!

The Black Armor Giant Ape roared again, its thick left arm sweeping away several Ferocious Beasts, while its right palm reached out, grabbing the head of a Ferocious Beast and directly crushing it.

At this moment, more Ferocious Beasts pounced on the Black Armor Giant Ape from all directions, densely packed above and below, with pairs of sharp claws grabbing at the Giant Ape's back and legs.

However, apart from emitting metallic sounds and cutting off some fur, they caused no damage at all.

Boom! The Black Armor Giant Ape shot out like a cannonball, its shoulder and back colliding with the trunk of a tree twenty meters away. The tree exploded, and the bodies of the three Ferocious Beasts clinging to its back burst open.

Just as the Giant Ape broke out of the encirclement, those Ferocious Beasts surged again, and the bloody battle erupted once more.

The Giant Ape, having evolved and broken through to the Fourth Order, was unstoppable. Each swing of its arm would sweep away a group, and each punch would blast the head of a Ferocious Beast, making it incredibly brutal.

Its powerful defense allowed it to ignore everything, except for the claws attacking its face and eyes, which it bothered to block.

However, with the previous experience, this time the Black Armor Giant Ape paid a little attention, trying to preserve the integrity of the corpses when killing those Ferocious Beasts, to avoid wasting meat.

This battle did not end until all the Black Thorn Ant Ferocious Beasts were dead, and the Black Armor Giant Ape slowly stopped.

The corpses of the Black Thorn Ant Ferocious Beasts piled up like mountains on the ground, blood flowing, converging into a stream of blood winding for hundreds of meters, disappearing at the edge of the crack.

In the blood stream, the more than ten-meter-tall Black Armor Ferocious Beast stood, its eyes blood-red, and its body stained with blood and minced meat, looking extremely ferocious.

Even because of too much killing, the rich bloody baleful aura condensed into substance, forming wisps of red smoke surrounding the Giant Ape.

In this battle, the Black Armor Giant Ape was not Injured. Dealing with these Second Order Ferocious Beasts, it didn't even unleash its talent, and it was full of energy, feeling like it could fight for three days and three nights.

Hoo hoo!! The Black Armor Giant Ape exhaled a breath of hot air, its figure suddenly shrank rapidly, revealing the humanoid killing state covered by bandages, and waved the Demonic Blade in its hand.

Suddenly, an invisible force gathered in the air.

These were the resentment and hatred instinctively emitted by the Black Thorn Ant Ferocious Beasts at the moment of death after being killed by the Black Armor Giant Ape, which turned into wisps of black Demonic Qi and gathered.

Looking at the black Demonic Qi condensed in the air, a smile appeared on Jiang Hou's face covered by bandages.

It really worked. He showed his human form just to try it out. He didn't expect that the Ferocious Beasts killed by the Black Armor Giant Ape could still bring him 'power'.

But after thinking about it, it seemed normal. After all, he was the Giant Ape, and the Giant Ape was him. These Black Thorn Ant Ferocious Beasts were originally killed by him.

It was just that the resentment and dying thoughts emitted by more than a hundred Second Order Black Thorn Ant Ferocious Beasts, after being completely transformed and absorbed, only amounted to a dozen wisps. Finally, they merged into the white bandage on his left arm, condensing two twisted and ferocious black Hell Runes.

Suddenly, the total amount of Demonic Qi units in Jiang Hou's body increased by 40 points, and his aura increased by a notch.

"So little, only condensed two Hell Runes. Is it because these Ferocious Beasts were not killed by me wielding the Demonic Blade, or have they been dead for too long, and the most important soul power has dissipated?" Jiang Hou frowned slightly, then shook his head.

Forget it, it's good to have some gains.

Roar! Accompanied by a violent low roar, Jiang Hou's figure rapidly expanded, the black and white light faded, and he transformed back into the Black Armor Giant Ape, grabbed a Black Ant Ferocious Beast and ate it.

Breaking legs, shelling, removing internal organs, it was very skilled in this set, and it finished processing a Ferocious Beast in a few strokes, and a large piece of bloody fresh meat appeared in its hand.

On the muddy ground with blood, the Black Armor Giant Ape sat cross-legged and devoured it.

Beside it was a small mountain of Ferocious Beast corpses, surrounded by black mist, and the branches of the trees were twisted, like a sea of blood and hell.

Under the abundant biological energy, the Black Armor Giant Ape's figure grew rapidly, its muscles bulged high, new scales grew in the gaps of the scales, and hair covered it.

Unfortunately, the proportion of exoskeletonization of these Ferocious Beasts is larger, and the overall meat yield is not much more than that of a First Order Black Ant Ferocious Beast.

Half a day later, after eating more than a hundred Ferocious Beast's flesh and blood, the Black Armor Ferocious Beast's size only soared from more than thirteen meters to fourteen and a half meters, standing equivalent to a five-story building.

"The feeling of getting stronger and stronger is really shuang." The Black Armor Giant Ape let out a satisfied low roar, turned its head to look at the ant nest in the distance, and the ground under its feet suddenly sank.

Bang! The soil exploded, and the Black Armor Giant Ape turned into a black shadow and slammed into the ant nest.

Boom! The hundred-meter-high 'hill' shook, rocks exploded, collapsed, and set off a sky of smoke and dust.

This blow knocked down half of the hill, revealing the riddled interior. The Black Armor Giant Ape standing in the rubble pile had its palms like excavators, expanding the opening.

With the Black Armor Giant Ape's current strength and physical strength, these rocks are no different from tofu in its hands.

It quickly dug through the hill and appeared in a cave tens of meters high and wide, surrounded by some black ore, but there was no ant queen in the Black Armor Giant Ape's imagination.

"What is this?"

Just as the Black Armor Giant Ape was feeling somewhat disappointed, the corner of its eye caught sight of a dark red crystal mixed in with a small pile of black ore.

Whoosh! The massive palm swept away the black ore, picking up the fist-sized, red-glowing dark red crystal.

Compared to the Black Armor Giant Ape's enormous hand, this crystal was like a small bean, but the instant it picked up the crystal, the giant ape felt a thick wave of energy emanating from it.

A good thing. The Black Armor Giant Ape paused slightly before tossing the crystal into its mouth.

Crack, crack! The crystal was too small, and the giant ape merely chewed it a couple of times before swallowing it with saliva. Instantly, a surge of immense energy exploded within its body, being absorbed.

Immediately, faint red streaks appeared in the gaps between the scales on the giant ape's body surface, and its fingernails also became sharper at a speed visible to the naked eye, the fingertips dark red, radiating a sharp aura.
