Spirit Level Demon Beast

Among the many uses of Purple Mist Grass, one is its strong toxicity to ape-like Demon Beasts. Generally, ape-like Demon Beasts within Silver Rank have difficulty resisting its medicinal properties.

There's always something that can counter something else in this world!

Nie Li killed a Green Arm Giant Ape with just a single arrow?

Everyone was confused and surprised, exchanging glances.

Only Hu Yan Lanruo and Ye Ziyun knew that Nie Li had smeared some kind of potion on the tip of his arrow.

Even so, being able to hit the Green Arm Giant Ape so easily was still an impressive feat.

Seeing Nie Li kill the Green Arm Giant Ape with a crossbow bolt, Chen Linjian shouted, "Everyone, take out your bows and crossbows!"

Chen Linjian's subordinates all took out their bows and crossbows, ready to surround and hunt the Green Arm Giant Ape.

Shen Yue also took out his crossbow. Looking at the exquisite crossbow in his hand, he felt indignant. Why was Nie Li better than him at everything? Ever since Nie Li appeared, he felt himself drifting further and further away from Ye Ziyun. Ye Ziyun now completely ignored his existence, instead looking at Nie Li with new eyes, which made him so jealous he was going mad.

Killing a Green Arm Giant Ape was such a simple matter, wasn't it?

Shen Yue loaded an arrow onto his Light Crossbow and crept slowly towards a wall, aiming his crossbow at a Green Arm Giant Ape in the distance. His expression was exceptionally serious and focused, aligning the sight with the Green Arm Giant Ape.

At this moment, everyone's gaze was focused on Shen Yue by the wall, holding their breath.

"The Green Arm Giant Ape is such a big target; it shouldn't be that difficult to hit!" Shen Yue pulled the trigger. Just as he pulled the trigger, his hand involuntarily trembled.

Whoosh, a cold glint cut through the sky. Moments later, with a thud, it embedded itself in a tree trunk some distance away, at least five or six meters from the Green Arm Giant Ape.

Shen Yue's face twitched, his complexion turning ashen and extremely ugly.

Seeing this, everyone's expressions were strange. They desperately held back their laughter. If they burst out laughing, Shen Yue would truly lose all face. They understood that Shen Yue wanted to compete with Nie Li, but couldn't he at least do it in a less comical way?

Shen Yue was almost going crazy. He clearly felt he could hit it, so why did he miss after pulling the trigger?

Seeing the suppressed smiles around him, Shen Yue felt extremely ashamed. Vaguely, he seemed to see a faint smile in Ye Ziyun's eyes – a look of disdain! Damn it, I don't believe this! Shen Yue immediately took out a second arrow and reloaded, fumbling to load the arrow before aiming at the Green Arm Giant Ape in the distance again.

The arrow cut through the air with a cold glint, but moments later, it seemed to lose its momentum and fell to the ground.

Shen Yue hadn't loaded the arrow properly, which was why it only flew a short distance before dropping.

At this moment, the crowd could no longer hold back and burst into laughter. Shen Yue's skill was simply not up to par. He insisted on imitating Nie Li to kill the Green Arm Giant Ape, but ended up like a clown. Was Shen Yue here to be funny?

Chen Linjian suppressed a smile and walked up to Shen Yue, patting his shoulder. "Brother Shen Yue, just give up. You can't handle this!"

Shen Yue's face turned purple. The laughter of the crowd sounded particularly grating to him. He hated Nie Li even more; it was Nie Li who made him lose so much face in front of everyone!

If Nie Li knew what Shen Yue was thinking at this moment, he would feel extremely innocent. He hadn't done anything!

Shen Yue held his crossbow, unsure whether to put it away or not, wishing he could disappear into the ground.

In his previous life, Shen Yue was extremely arrogant and mocked Nie Li relentlessly. Thinking of this, a cold smile appeared on Nie Li's lips, and he said faintly, "Some things, just because I can do them, doesn't mean you can!"

Hearing Nie Li's words, Shen Yue's anger erupted. He roared at Nie Li, "It's all your fault! I'm going to kill you!" Veins bulged on Shen Yue's face as he raised his crossbow towards Nie Li, almost driven mad. As a direct descendant of the Sacred Family, Shen Yue was inherently proud. Under Nie Li's provocation, he had completely lost his reason.

With a crack, Chen Linjian slapped the crossbow out of Shen Yue's hand and said sternly, "Enough!"

Looking up at Chen Linjian's cold expression, Shen Yue was crestfallen. Now everyone was on Nie Li's side. He turned and walked away resentfully.

The crowd watched Shen Yue's retreating back, murmuring amongst themselves.

"I didn't expect Shen Yue to be like this!"

"Not a shred of noble upbringing!"

Nie Li's gaze was icy. Recalling how the Sacred Family abandoned the city and fled in his previous life, and Shen Yue's actions, Nie Li felt no regret if such a person and such a family were to be destroyed!

Ye Ziyun watched Shen Yue's lonely figure and walked to Nie Li's side. "Nie Li, Shen Yue is quite pitiful."

"Can't find the book title? You can try searching for the author, maybe the name has changed!"

Hearing Ye Ziyun's words, Nie Li frowned. He hadn't expected Ye Ziyun to pity Shen Yue. Ye Ziyun was simply too soft-hearted. In his previous life, she had agreed to the engagement at Shen Yue's repeated pleas, only for Shen Yue to follow the Sacred Family and abandon the city before they even married.

Why was such a person worthy of pity?

Nie Li was angry. He glared at Ye Ziyun and said sternly, "What's pitiful about him? From now on, don't have any contact with him, or don't come to see me again. Scum like him deserves to die!"

Hearing Nie Li's stern reprimand, Ye Ziyun pouted. You're not my boyfriend, why should I not contact other people? Although she thought this, Ye Ziyun ultimately made a choice. She wouldn't contact Shen Yue anymore, otherwise, she might not even be able to remain friends with Nie Li. Faintly, she seemed to care a lot about Nie Li's opinion now, but she couldn't quite understand why Nie Li hated Shen Yue so much. Could there be an irreconcilable enmity between them?

Nie Li let out a long sigh. He had been too agitated just now, his tone a bit too harsh, but it was good to warn Ye Ziyun.

Chen Linjian's subordinates attacked the Green Arm Giant Apes with crossbow bolts, but they found that their bolts couldn't harm the apes at all. Although the Green Arm Giant Apes were huge, their movements were very agile. Upon detecting the arrows, they could dodge immediately, causing their bolts to miss.

Only then did they realize how skilled Nie Li's archery was.

Discovering another of Nie Li's abilities, Hu Yan Lanruo's gaze towards him was filled with affection. When she was near Nie Li, she would often strike alluring poses, showcasing her astonishing curves, high peaks, and deep cleavage.

Nie Li was speechless about this woman. She seemed to be perpetually horny. Hu Yan Lanruo appeared indifferent when facing others, but towards Nie Li, she seemed exceptionally interested.

"Brother Nie Li, we'll have to trouble you a lot from now on!" Chen Linjian said with emotion. Among everyone present, only Nie Li could kill a Green Arm Giant Ape.

"Mhm!" Nie Li nodded slightly.

Nie Li began clearing out the Green Arm Giant Apes along the way. His archery was so precise that every shot was a hit. In his previous life, his archery had reached the pinnacle of perfection. Although his cultivation had only just reached Bronze 1-star, it was more than enough to deal with ordinary Silver Rank Demon Beasts.

Everyone was amazed by Nie Li's archery. Even a Silver Rank expert would probably not find it easy to dodge Nie Li's arrows. No matter how the Green Arm Giant Apes tried to dodge, the arrows followed like shadows, striking after the fact.

At some point, Nie Li had become one of the core figures of this team.

As Nie Li and the others slowly approached their destination, the Green Arm Giant Apes around them suddenly increased in number, reaching over twenty. They eyed Nie Li and the others menacingly.

A deafening roar erupted, causing the entire ground to tremble violently.

Their eardrums felt as if they were about to burst, and everyone exchanged glances.

"It's a Spirit Level Demon Beast!" Nie Li exclaimed in horror.

Generally, Demon Beasts, like humans, were divided into several ranks: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Black Gold, and Legendary. However, within each rank, there were ordinary, Spirit Level, and King Level Demon Beasts. For example, an ordinary Green Arm Giant Ape could not form a Spirit Beast in its mind, but a Spirit Level Green Arm Giant Ape already had a Spirit Beast formed in its mind. They often possessed intelligence comparable to a teenager and were much stronger than ordinary Green Arm Giant Apes. As for King Level ones, the Spirit Beast in their minds had already condensed into a liquid state, allowing them to partially transform their physical bodies into humanoid forms, possessing terrifying strength.

"What's its strength?" Chen Linjian's expression changed, and he asked in shock.

"Silver Rank five-star, just a step away from Gold Rank!" Nie Li replied. From the roar of the Green Arm Giant Ape, Nie Li had confirmed its strength.

Nie Li frowned slightly. Demon Beasts of the same rank were often slightly stronger than humans, especially intelligent ones like the Green Arm Giant Ape, which were very difficult to deal with. The strength of this Spirit Level Green Arm Giant Ape might be equivalent to that of a Gold Rank expert.

With Nie Li's current strength, dealing with such a Demon Beast would be too difficult.

As for Chen Linjian's team, the strongest among them was only Silver Rank three-star!

Silver Rank five-star strength. Chen Linjian frowned slightly, not expecting to encounter a Spirit Level Green Arm Giant Ape here, and one that was Silver Rank five-star at that. It would likely be very difficult to handle. There were also many ordinary Green Arm Giant Apes lurking around. If a fight truly broke out, they could all be wiped out!

The Spirit Level Green Arm Giant Ape in the distance leaped onto the high wall, standing on it and staring at Nie Li and the others with fierce eyes.

"Let's go, follow me!" Nie Li shouted, leaping into the nearby jungle.

The group exchanged glances and followed closely behind Nie Li, hiding themselves in the jungle.

Seeing this, the Spirit Level Green Arm Giant Ape became furious, pounding its chest and stomping its feet, letting out roars. A group of ordinary Green Arm Giant Apes, as if obeying the command of the Spirit Level ape-man, began to surround the direction Nie Li and the others had fled.

Entering the dense bushes and jungle, the tall Green Arm Giant Apes found it difficult to move freely.

"Form up!" Chen Linjian roared. The group of Silver Rank experts quickly used the surrounding thick trees as cover, forming a circular formation. They all drew their weapons.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Green Arm Giant Apes charged forward one after another. Nie Li quickly raised his Crossbow Bolt, and bolts shot out like streaks of light.
