Diamond Baboon roared.
The voice was no longer sarcastic or joking, but a real, painful roar.
The Light Power contained in the light gun rushed through its body, burning its internal organs, its muscles, and its bones. The gray-brown hard skin began to crack under the erosion of Light Power, and golden light shone through the cracks.
It stretched out its hands, trying to pull out the deadly spear from its chest.
But as soon as its fingers touched the gun body, it was burned by the Light Power attached to it, and the burnt smell filled the air.
Diamond Baboon's palms are shaking.
Not because of pain, but because Light Power is rapidly eroding its vitality. Its muscles begin to become stiff, its joints begin to become dull, and every breath is accompanied by severe pain as its internal organs are burned.
It struggled to grab the gun body, trying to pull it out.
But the gun body seemed to have grown inside its body and remained motionless.
Diamond Baboon's power is passing away at a speed visible to the naked eye. It could have punched out a two-meter-deep pit with one punch, but now it has become difficult to even hold the gun body.
Death has become the destined ending of this Diamond Baboon.
But it didn't wait quietly for death.
Diamond Baboon raised his head, opened his big mouth full of fangs, and let out a deafening roar.
"Ho--"
The roar was not directed at Ye Xinglan, nor at the source of the light, but spread toward the sky, toward the forest, and in all directions.
The sound echoed in the forest, wave after wave, like the ripples caused by a huge stone thrown into a calm lake.
Ye Xinglan's face turned pale the moment he heard this roar.
She remembered.
I heard the teacher talk about it before in class.
Diamond Baboon... seems to be Soul Beast living in groups?!
Not like.
Yes it is.
Diamond Baboon, one of the most troublesome Soul Beast among Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform.
They are generally more than five meters tall, with white fur all over their bodies and gnarled muscles. They are the largest ape Soul Beast. At the same level, they are even larger than Titan Giant Ape. With pure strength, Power Attack System has no long-range attack capabilities, but is nearly invincible in close combat. It has extremely low intelligence, relies entirely on instinct to fight, and has a brutal and murderous temperament.
Moreover, Diamond Baboon also possesses a powerful and unique Soul Skill: Berserk. It can increase the attributes of the whole body by 50% (strength, speed, and defense are all skyrocketed). After Berserk is over, it will enter a period of extreme weakness and its combat effectiveness will plummet.
But the real headache is their gregarious habit.
A Diamond Baboon group usually consists of a dozen to dozens of animals, with a clear division of labor and cooperation. They hunt collectively, support each other, and sound the alarm when their companions are in danger.
That roar just now was an alarm.
Ye Xinglan turned his head stiffly and looked in the direction from which the light gun was flying.
In the shadow of the forest, a figure was walking out slowly.
His steps were steady, his figure was quite tall among his peers, and his face was sharp and angular, looking particularly cold in the light and shadow coming from the gaps in the tree canopy.
The most striking thing are his eyes.
The light golden vertical pupils were like two cold lamps in the dim light. Those eyes swept over Diamond Baboon nailed to the tree and then over Ye Xinglan without any fluctuation, as if they were looking at two insignificant things.
Ye Xinglan I have never seen this person before.
She was sure she didn't know him.
But she recognized the knife in his hand. The blade was slender and sharp, and the whole body was condensed with clear golden light, like a solidified bright beam of light. The purple rope-wrapped handle was particularly eye-catching in the dim light.
Ye Xinglan An idea flashed in his mind.
She has heard of this knife.
Shrek Inner Court I don't know when some rumors appeared, saying that a certain force has cultivated a monster-level genius. Martial Soul is Radiant King Dragon, and Soul Power is unparalleled among his peers in cultivation. His commonly used weapon is a long knife that exudes light.
But rumors are just rumors after all, and Ye Xinglan never took them seriously.
She always felt that the rumors were exaggerated.
But now, looking at the light gun that nailed Diamond Baboon to the tree, and looking at the man walking out of the forest, she began to feel that the rumors might not be exaggerated, but rather conservative.
Being able to nail Diamond Baboon to a tree with one shot, what level of strength is this?
Ye Xinglan's lips moved, wanting to say something.
Say thanks?
Such words are on my lips, but I can't say them out.
It's not because I don't want to say thank you, but because now is simply not the time to say thank you.
The roar had already spread.
Diamond Baboon's tribe will be here soon.
At that time, it will no longer be a question of one Diamond Baboon, but a dozen or even dozens of them.
Ye Xinglan took a deep breath, suppressed all distracting thoughts, looked at the young man who came out with blue eyes, and his voice was anxious.
"Hey! Run!"
Her voice was not loud, but her tone was strong.
Zhong Shenxiu paused for a moment.
The light golden vertical pupils looked at Ye Xinglan, and his eyes stayed on her for a second.
Then he looked away and continued walking forward.
The pace is still very steady, neither urgent nor slow.
He walked up to Diamond Baboon who was nailed to the tree, raised his hand and held the tail of the Sky Light Dragon Spear gun.
The light gun trembled in his hand, then began to decompose, turning into countless tiny light points that were pulled out from Diamond Baboon's wounds, regrouped into Zhong Shenxiu's palm, and disappeared.
The body of Diamond Baboon slipped from the tree trunk and fell heavily to the ground with a dull sound. Then it turned into Spirit Power Halo and was absorbed by Zhong Shenxiu.
Ye Xinglan is anxious.
"Did you hear that? Run quickly! Diamond Baboon lives in groups, and its people will be here soon!"
Zhong Shenxiu turned around and looked at Ye Xinglan with his light golden vertical pupils.
That look sent a chill down Ye Xinglan's back.
Not because it has any malicious intentions, but because it is too calm. As calm as a pool of stagnant water, without any mood swings. There is no fear, no tension, and not even the most basic vigilance.
That kind of gaze is like a person standing on the top of the mountain looking at the ants at the foot of the mountain.
Not arrogant, but... natural.
"You go your own way."
Zhong Shenxiu spoke.
The voice was not loud and the tone was flat, as if he was talking about something trivial.
Then he turned around, with his back to Ye Xinglan, and faced the depths of the forest.
Ye Xinglan was stunned.
She has seen proud people. Shrek Academy is full of proud geniuses. But she has never seen such a person.
It's not that he is more proud than others, but that his pride is... different.
Other people's pride needs to be recognized by others and is maintained by defeating opponents and gaining honors.
But this man is different. His pride seems to be innate and does not require any external proof, just like... just like the sun!
The sun never needs to prove that it can shine!
But that's not the point.
The point is, now is not the time to be proud!
