Ape Versus Python

Hoo! Hoo!

Gu Sheng was searching for traces of Iron Arm Apes in the Iron Arm Ape Mountain when he suddenly heard a gust of wind. He saw four or five fiery red shadows grabbing tree branches in the distance, their bodies swaying as they darted through the forest.

Gu Chen focused his eyes. The five fiery red shadows were five ape-like creatures, their entire bodies covered in fiery red fur, with blue pupils and unusually long arms and claws. The ape's arms were longer than its legs, and their thickness was not at all inferior to its thighs, leaving no doubt about their strength.

Gu Sheng thought to himself, "The books say that the forearms and claws are the most dangerous parts of an Iron Arm Ape. Those arms are incredibly strong and can easily tear apart fierce beasts."

Gu Sheng's gaze shifted to the Iron Arm Ape's pair of 'iron arms'. Those arms seemed to be forged from divine weapons, impervious to blades and spears. The sharpest part was its pair of claws, which could easily shatter boulders. Any Iron Arm Ape had the strength of a hundred thousand pounds, and its combat power was even more terrifying than that of an ordinary Earth Ranking expert.

"Aah!"

An Iron Arm Ape suddenly let out a strange cry, startling Gu Sheng, who was following behind, and he quickly flashed to a large tree to hide.

Gu Sheng's current strength was only second-rate, with a force of only five or six thousand pounds. The strength of any adult Iron Arm Ape was more than ten times his own. If he really encountered one head-on, he was afraid it would end with 'hand-tearing devils'. He didn't want to become the 'devil' being torn apart.

"Aah!"

"Aah aah!"

"Aah~~~"

Several more strange cries of Iron Arm Apes sounded. They seemed to have discovered something, and their cries contained undisguised fear.

"Hiss! Hiss hiss! Hiss hiss~~~"

A rustling sound accompanied by a low hiss. Gu Sheng looked towards the front of the Iron Arm Apes. A verdant python's head suddenly appeared in front of the Iron Arm Apes, its golden-flecked vertical pupils examining the little monkeys in front of it who often hunted its clansmen.

Suddenly, there was movement on the green grass. A huge python body emerged from its camouflage as the giant python moved. The python's body, as thick as a bucket, was nearly ten yards long, which was quite frightening from a distance.

"Verdant Python! It's so long, it's almost transformed into an Azure Serpent!"

Gu Sheng's pupils shrank. The demonic beast 'Verdant Python' was not considered strong among demonic beasts. A Verdant Python that was only three or four yards long might not be a match for an Iron Arm Ape in a one-on-one fight. If it was besieged by three of them, it might even be taken down unscathed.

"If I remember correctly, when Teng Qingshan came, he encountered three Iron Arm Apes hunting a Verdant Python."

A flash of light passed through Gu Sheng's eyes. "The original story mentioned that Iron Arm Apes are social creatures. The entire Iron Arm Ape Mountain has one hundred thousand of these demonic beasts, hunting in groups of three or five. It seems to be their habit.

There's a Verdant Python that's grown so large here. The original story also mentioned that there was a smaller Verdant Python. If more than two Verdant Pythons appear in the same environment, then the Iron Arm Ape Mountain might also be a habitat for Verdant Pythons. If that's the case..."

Countless thoughts flashed through Gu Sheng's mind. He vaguely had an idea.

"Hiss~~"

The Verdant Python's massive body suddenly contracted, coiling together. Its raised python head hissed as it probed towards the five Iron Arm Apes. It seemed very satisfied with this meal that had been delivered to its door, and it was preparing to take a bite.

"Aah!"

"Aah aah aah aah!"

"Aah aah aah~~~"

The Iron Arm Apes let out a series of strange cries, skillfully separating and surrounding the Verdant Python, baring their teeth and warning it that they were not to be trifled with. Living in this Iron Arm Ape Mountain, as the overlords of the Iron Arm Ape Mountain, this was not the first time they had hunted Verdant Pythons.

However, their luck was clearly not very good this time. They had encountered a big guy, and the hunter had become the prey.

The Verdant Python's strength would slowly increase over time. Being able to grow to nearly ten yards, this Verdant Python could already be considered a Xiantian demonic beast. Unless it was the Iron Arm Ape leader who had silver fur, ordinary Iron Arm Apes were just snacks for it, and it wouldn't take much effort at all.

As long as it underwent another transformation into a three-foot-long Jade Azure Serpent, the Jade Azure Serpent would be small, but its body would be as hard as a divine weapon, and its body could be used as a weapon to kill people! Moreover, the Jade Azure Serpent was highly poisonous. The potency of its poison was so strong that even the Golden-Eyed Silver-Body Ape King in the Iron Arm Ape Mountain cave might not be able to withstand it.

"Aah aah aah aah!"

The five Iron Arm Apes communicated with strange cries. Then, three of the Iron Arm Apes formed a 'triangle' shape, strangely confronting the Verdant Python, while the other two turned and jumped to a nearby place, each hugging a large tree as thick as an adult's waist.

"Crack!"

Sharp, knife-like claws slashed at the big tree, easily cutting through it as if it were cutting tofu.

Hoo!

The two Iron Arm Apes hugged the thick trees, roared 'Aah', and then slammed them towards the Verdant Python.

"Boom! Boom!"

When the trees approached the python's body, a green shadow flashed instantly, blocking the two flying trees.

Gu Sheng looked closely. It turned out to be the Verdant Python's waist-thick snake tail, which swung up and down like a steel whip, quickly flashing downwards.

"Aah~~~"

A miserable cry was cut short before it could finish. An Iron Arm Ape had already been rolled into the air by the snake tail, and it was silent in an instant.

Boom~~ Boom~~

The two big trees smashed to the ground, and the other two Iron Arm Apes had already found an opportunity to escape. The four Iron Arm Apes gathered together, each holding a big tree.

"Aah aah!" They cried strangely, looking at their companion who had been rolled up by the snake tail and sent to the snake's kiss. Their strange cries revealed anxiety and fear.

"Roar~"

The Verdant Python looked at the Iron Arm Apes in front of it and let out a strange cry, spitting out a mouthful of cyan liquid in its hiss, pouring it on the Iron Arm Ape that was being rolled up.

"Aah~~~~"

The Iron Arm Ape, which had already fainted, let out a subconscious hiss. With a "sizzling~~" sound, its tough outer skin seemed to be corroded, and wisps of white smoke continued to emerge. The Iron Arm Ape quickly became a bloody mess.

The next moment, the Verdant Python seemed to feel that it had softened enough to eat, opened its python mouth, and swallowed the entire Iron Arm Ape, which had already lost its voice. The Iron Arm Apes who witnessed all of this cried "Aah aah!" constantly, but none of them dared to actively attack or run away while it was eating.

The Iron Arm Apes actually understood very well that they were no match for such a behemoth. As for running away, the Verdant Python's speed was not slow. If they turned their backs to their opponent, they were afraid that they would be caught up and killed in a few moments.

The Verdant Python didn't need anything else; it just needed to get close and spit venom. Those trying to escape wouldn't have time to react, and most wouldn't be able to get out of the venom's range.

Therefore, their only chance of survival was to defend together, instead of being picked off one by one by the Verdant Python like before.

"Aah!"

Just as the Verdant Python was about to swallow the Iron Arm Ape in its mouth, the Iron Arm Apes who had been watching suddenly acted. The two Iron Arm Apes in front simultaneously flung two large trees over.

The other two even larger trees were swung by the two Iron Arm Apes in the back, aiming for the Verdant Python's vertical pupils.
