Scholar-Level Gorilla

At this moment, over the Eastern Sea.

The Venerable White frowned slightly. "..."

Before him, Doudou and the little monk were unconscious, floating in the air supported by his spiritual power, but the flying sword that carried Doudou and the little monk was nowhere to be seen.

Before boarding the plane Song Shuhang called Venerable White to tell him that he was on the plane and would contact him again after arriving at the resort island. Venerable White naturally hadn't forgotten this.

Therefore, when he launched "Doudou" and "Little Monk" using the "Myriad-Mile Escape Technique Coordinates" in Song Shuhang's hand as the target, he followed closely behind.

Senior White planned to control the flying sword once Doudou and the little monk were launched near Song Shuhang's plane, and then have the flying sword follow the plane slowly towards the resort island in the Eastern Sea.

With him personally following along, it was certain that the two 'Single-Use Flying Sword 004 Edition' would catch up with Song Shuhang without harming the plane he was on.

However, a slight mishap occurred during the launch of the flying sword...

Just now, when the flying sword carrying Doudou and the little monk flew over the Eastern Sea, it suddenly seemed to have crashed into an invisible barrier. That barrier carried a strange power, and the moment Doudou and the little monk came into contact with the invisible barrier, they were hypnotized and fell unconscious.

However, the two flying swords pierced into the invisible barrier and then disappeared as starlight!

Fortunately, Venerable White was following behind. When he saw Doudou and the little monk falling into the sea, he immediately reached out and used his spiritual power to catch them.

Gazing at the invisible yet substantial barrier before him, Venerable White began to ponder.

"The flying sword disappeared. Was it a spatial teleportation spell?"

The Single-Use Flying Sword 004 Edition, was tracking Song Shuhang... and now it has crashed into the barrier layer ahead. Does this mean that the plane Song Shuhang was on also crashed into the barrier?

So, where does this barrier lead?

The Venerable White strode through the void as if walking on flat ground, arriving before the transparent barrier.

"Is it the Mysterious Island?" he wondered to himself.

Recently, the only strange phenomenon over the Eastern Sea seems to be that Mysterious Island that caused all the fellow cultivators in the Nine Provinces Number One Group to lose their memories, right?

After thinking for a moment, Venerable White reached out and pressed his hand against the barrier—he had always wanted to find the Mysterious Island, but it was like it was playing hide-and-seek with him, and he just couldn't find it no matter what he did.

Having finally found a clue, Venerable White naturally didn't mind studying this Mysterious Island.

Then, the moment the Venerable White's hand touched the transparent barrier... a series of strange sounds rang out.

Then, the transparent barrier seemed to shatter, disappearing without a trace.

The Eastern Sea have returned to calm, empty and devoid of anything.

Venerable White's expression stiffened—was it really necessary? Was it really necessary?!

I just reached out and pressed it, and the barrier shattered?

So disrespectful?

***************************

Sky City Island

It seems like quite a while has passed since the 'flying sword cutting the plane' incident.

Song Shuhang gradually regained consciousness... In his memory, the last image was two Single-Use Flying Sword 004 Edition) slicing off the nose of the plane as easily as cutting tofu.

Then, Song Shuhang lost consciousness.

--I'm alive?

"You've survived again today! "Song Shuhang exclaimed.

"So, where am I now?" he wondered to himself—he felt as if he had fallen into the water, his body submerged in liquid, floating up and down.

Could it be that I've unfortunately fallen into that Crescent Lake? There might be monsters in that lake!

But the lake water feels so warm, it's really comfortable.

Is the water in Half-Moon Lake a hot spring?

As he was pondering this, Song Shuhang faintly heard a series of urgent shouts.

The shouts were rhythmic, seemingly the combined shouts of many people—not screams of alarm, but rather a song?

Song Shuhang a deep breath.

Then, he opened his eyes.

Then, he was dumbfounded.

What a load of bullshit, Half-Moon Lake!

What a load of rubbish about Quan Shui!

He was lying in a large pot, with flames roaring beneath it. The water inside was slowly heating up, and strings of bubbles were rising to the surface.

Moreover, Song Shuhang could see that there were many seasonings and vegetables floating in the water...

He was still bound hand and foot...

This scene immediately reminded him of cannibals in movies. But the scene of boiling a living person in a pot was completely fictional. Even real cannibals wouldn't do that!

What an incredible plot twist!

Who played a prank on him?

Song Shuhang looked again at the 'person' shouting by the pot.

Then, he froze again.

Because the people surrounding the pot were not humans, but more than twenty black gorillas.

They stood upright, shouting, cheering, and jumping around the pot, looking just like cannibalistic primitives from a movie.

"Are they going to eat me?" Song Shuhang said, both amused and exasperated. He had never imagined that he would one day be treated as food.

If he hadn't woken up in time, perhaps in another hour or two, a dish called 'Boiled Song Shuhang' would have been served on the gorillas' table, and then eaten clean, skin and bones.

And... if they're gorillas, why would they cook food in a big pot like humans? Where did that pot come from?

Okay, now's not the time to think about that.

With a slight exertion, without even using his Blood Qi and blood, Song Shuhang broke free of the ropes binding him.

Then, he stood up from the pot and looked around. He then noticed that not far from the gorillas, Tubo, Gao Moumou, and his girlfriend Mei Yi were also tied up. Song Shuhang's backpack and the invisible Overlord Shatter Saber were also lying to one side.

Thankfully... I was the first one thrown into the pot to be boiled. If the gorillas had chosen Tubo and his two companions first, they might have really been cooked alive!

Also, where did the other passengers go?

Were the three of them, including Tubo, in the cockpit with him at the time? Were the other passengers separated from them?

When Song Shuhang suddenly stood up from the pot, the dancing gorillas were taken aback.

"Roar?"

"Woo-hoo?"

They stared in disbelief at the food that had stood up from the pot.

A moment later, the lead, particularly strong gorilla roared loudly at Song Shuhang and pounded its chest forcefully.

Does this mean they're going to fight?

Song Shuhang jumped down from the pot and clenched his fist.

"Roar!" The powerful gorilla charged at Song Shuhang on all fours. At the same time, it also picked up a huge rock and hurled it at Song Shuhang.

These black gorillas, have they all become sentient beings?

With a flick of his wrist, Song Shuhang met the boulder hurtling towards him with a gentle tap, unleashing the Vajra Foundation Fist. Using the skillful force of the fist, he sent the massive boulder flying.

"Roar!" The powerful gorilla pounced, its thick arms reaching for Song Shuhang.

"Hehe." Song Shuhang laughed heartily, "Foundation Fist Fifth Form!"

Foundation Fist Fifth Form is an attack method similar to a slam. It's perfect for dealing with giant gorillas.

The strong gorilla only felt the 'food' in front of it suddenly flash and disappear.

Immediately afterwards, it felt a sharp pain in its chest, as if it had been hit by a boulder during a landslide.

The powerful gorilla was sent flying by Song Shuhang's blow, falling to the ground and struggling for a long time, but it was unable to get up.

Using the force of the impact, Song Shuhang also tested the fighting power of these gorillas.

Its powerful body is more than twice as strong as that of an ordinary gorilla in nature. In terms of physical strength alone, it is no weaker than a cultivator at the Three-Aperture Nose Aperture level.

Of course, if a cultivator at the First-Grade, Third Aperture level uses their Blood Qi power, it wouldn't be difficult to overwhelm these gorillas.

Song Shuhang sighed inwardly.

Don't be fooled by how easily he knocked the strong gorilla to the ground; he had used the power of his Heart Aperture Blood Qi in that collision, yet it still didn't cause serious injury.

These gorillas are very resilient to blows.

Although the other animal was unable to get up from the ground for a while, it didn't take long for it to recover and become a mighty and valiant gorilla once again.

What's even more troublesome is that Song Shuhang is facing more than twenty strong gorillas.

After the strongest gorilla was knocked to the ground, the remaining gorillas were somewhat stunned. They growled softly at Song Shuhang, but did not rush forward recklessly.

"It's best to strike first, otherwise it will be troublesome if they surround us," Song Shuhang thought to himself, glancing at his bundle and the Overlord Shatter Saber.

It would be best to retrieve the Overlord Shatter Saber first. With that blade in hand, dealing with these gorillas would be much easier.

Song Shuhang a deep breath and activated the auxiliary technique, "Unmoving Vajra Body." The energy of Blood Qi and blood surged in the four acupoints of the heart, eyes, nose, and ears, adjusting himself to his optimal state.

"Hiss!" At this moment, the gorilla that had been knocked to the ground had already gotten up.

It landed on all fours and approached Song Shuhang again.

The other gorillas around it made way for it, allowing it to face Song Shuhang head-on once again.

"Roar!" The powerful gorilla stood upright again, pounding its chest with a thud.

Then, it charged at Song Shuhang once again.

It used the same old trick: halfway there, it picked up a large rock from the ground and threw it at Song Shuhang.

With a flick of his wrist, Song Shuhang easily sent the large rock flying. Then, he clenched his right fist, preparing to unleash the Foundation Fist Form One to directly blast away the strong gorilla in front of him.

But at that moment, Song Shuhang saw the strong gorilla bend its body, thrust its shoulder, and suffer a violent impact.

This posture is extremely similar to when Song Shuhang used the Foundation Fist Fifth Form before.

Although it's just a fancy move... but seeing that it learned the posture so well after just one demonstration, is this guy really a gorilla?

This incredible learning ability is truly top-tier!

At this moment, the powerful gorilla had already crashed into Song Shuhang like a bulldozer.
