Chapter 192: Chapter 149: Scorched Earth Defense (Requesting Monthly Ticket)_4

Half a month later.

In the deep of night.

Li Qian left Chen Bell Platform.

He did not ride out on Little Black.

After all, in the night, even if Little Black was mutated, flying was not very convenient.

Moreover, he was not as fast as flying himself.

Li Qian, wearing a black cloak, flew swiftly through the air. Below were dots of firelight – the bonfires of a migrating crowd resting.

Migratory groups of this scale were numerous, usually consisting of several villages or a town forming a team... along the way there were officials and martial artists from the Divine Sword Sect or other martial arts forces escorting them.

Since the world’s anomalies, mutation incidents had escalated, resulting in many vicious beasts appearing in the wild. Without the protection of martial artists... an encounter with a beast attack could easily lead to severe casualties.

Li Qian’s powerful spiritual perception swept around, detecting nothing unusual, and he flew towards a farther distance.

After flying dozens of kilometers more, Li Qian suddenly discovered a large migrating group’s camp on the edge of a forest. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

The camp was in utter chaos, with screams, shrieks, and roars... a cacophony of noise.

Li Qian’s spiritual perception swept over the area, his expression turning slightly cold.

He saw a massive troop of monkeys bursting out from the expanse of the woods, viciously attacking the people in the camp.

This group of monkeys was clearly mutated as a whole, much larger than the average human, extremely ferocious, attacking people on sight.

Although this migrating team had many martial artists protecting them... these mutated monkeys were very powerful, swift as lightning, and coupled with the cover of night... regular martial artists faced great difficulties.

Moreover, there were a few leader monkeys with a height of two to three meters, creating chaos wherever they went, even advanced postnatal martial artists were no match for them.

Eventually, it took martial artists above the Innate level to fend off the ferocity of the monkey troop.

Roar!

Suddenly, the earth trembled slightly, and trees were knocked down with a thunderous roar, accompanied by a sky-shaking howl, a terrifying presence surged from the forest.

It was a gigantic monkey, about six to seven meters tall.

No, it should not be called a monkey anymore.

With a green face and sharp fangs, like the evil spirits in legends, it had two huge lumps on its back, and its eyes were a blood-red color.

"Is that a Monkey Demon?"

Li Qian, in the air, looked at the giant monkey with a hint of surprise on his face.

In the Huilong Mountain Range that was supposed to be sealed off, how could a demon appear here?

"Oh heavens, how could there be a demon here?"

An elder from the Divine Sword Sect named Jin Hao, who had just slain a leader monkey, looked at the giant demon monkey emerging from the darkness, his face turning ugly.

He was only a martial artist at the Grandmaster level, facing a demon that only a Heavenly Person could contend with... there was only one way to death for him.

Many of the martial artists who were fighting the mutated monkeys felt almost suffocated by the ferocious and terrifying presence of the demon monkey.

Not to mention the ordinary people.

Many were scared to the point of fainting.

Just as everyone was in despair, suddenly a multitude of sword lights descended from the sky, and the mutated monkeys that were wreaking havoc were shot down one after another.

Following that, a large cluster of dazzling golden flames rolled down from the sky, engulfing the giant demon monkey.

Roar roar roar...

The giant demon monkey struggled furiously, letting out earth-shaking roars.

But it was all in vain. The body of the demon monkey rapidly shrank, then it was taken up into the sky amidst the struggle by the dazzling golden flames, flying away into the distance, and disappearing into the darkness.

The elder from the Divine Sword Sect watched this scene, his eyes wide open in disbelief.

What was that dazzling golden flame just now?

He had not sensed it at all.

His spiritual perception couldn’t even get close, only feeling an intense heat as if his entire blood was about to boil.

However, he was certain... that was an extremely powerful existence.

The terrifying Monkey Demon was taken away.

All the mutated monkeys were dead.

The survivors in the camp all felt like they had narrowly escaped from a disaster.

Soon, many cries and shouts merged into one, as they had relatives killed by the mutated monkeys.

The scene was in complete chaos.

Seeing this, Elder Jin Hao sighed with relief and then gathered the martial artists to reestablish the camp’s defense, began tallying the losses, tried to treat the wounded as much as possible, comforted the panicked people, and maintained order in the camp.

...

Bang!

Li Qian threw the captured Monkey Demon onto the ground.

This Monkey Demon was severely restrained by his Qi Blood Holy Realm, and its demon body could no longer be sustained, reverting to the size of a normal monkey.

In its normal state, this monkey wasn’t much larger than an ordinary one.

But its eyes were filled with intelligence, indicating an extraordinary level of wisdom.

Even when captured, it still bared its teeth and glared at Li Qian with fierce hostility.

"You should understand what I am saying, right?"

Li Qian spoke.

The Monkey Demon’s eyes flickered with cold light, showing a stubborn defiance.

Li Qian smiled faintly and immediately used his Qi Blood Holy Realm to control the Monkey Demon’s qi and blood, manipulating it... Suddenly, the Monkey Demon let out a painful howl and started rolling on the ground.

After a while, Li Qian released his control over the Monkey Demon’s qi and blood.

"Now you should understand, right? The pain just now was just an appetizer."

Li Qian continued.

The ferocity in the Monkey Demon’s eyes had vanished, replaced by fear, and it nodded repeatedly.

For such creatures, fearing the strong was an inherent nature.

"Did you come from over there?"

Li Qian asked, pointing in the direction of the Huilong Mountain Range.

The Monkey Demon nodded.

"Can you speak?"

Li Qian asked again.

"Yes... can speak, simple..."

Unexpectedly, the Monkey Demon spoke.

The voice was choppy and a bit unclear, but still intelligible.

Li Qian was immensely shocked and then asked, "How did you learn to speak?"

"Eat, eat... humans... and can... learn..."

The Monkey Demon quickly said.

Li Qian was greatly shocked. The Demon Race... after consuming humans, could actually improve their intelligence and learn human language, which was beyond belief.

Higher demons use the Heavenly Demon Awakening Technique to turn animals into demons, and even the offspring of these demons are initially just animals, not demons, requiring the Heavenly Demon Awakening Technique for enlightenment.

But Li Qian wasn’t too clear on how the intelligence of demons increased.

Now, hearing what the Monkey Demon said, he immediately understood that the Demon Race was the natural enemy of humans, and there was no possibility of peaceful coexistence between the two.

For the Demon Race, humans were food.

Just as humans consume animals like cattle and sheep, it would be impossible to regard them as equals.
