Chapter 120 - One Against Many
The Poisonous Giant Snake was irritated at the monkeys constantly jumping on its body. The attacks they dealt were weak, but even a Rank 2 like it would take a considerable amount of damage if they did simultaneously.
The Poisonous Giant Snake instantly slammed its tail repeatedly at the surrounding monkeys, making a loud crashing sound and damaging the surroundings.
After that, he emits a green gas containing a high concentration of poison gush out from all over its pores.
As soon as the monkeys inhaled the gas, their faces immediately turned green, and soon they disappeared into a puff of white smoke.
Witnessing this strange scene, the Poisonous Giant Snake couldn't help bare its dripping-poison fangs aggressively. It was angry and confused.
Why didn't a single corpse fall among the monkeys it had killed?
No matter how many times it killed them, they kept appearing like there was a monkey production site nearby.
"Wo-hoo, woo-hoo, wo-hoo..."
After the first batch of monkeys were wiped out, another batch of monkeys appeared again and immediately attacked the Poisonous Giant Snake. But this time, some of them carried various kinds of weapons such as swords, spears, knives, blades, and others in their hands. They are like an army of armed soldiers entering the battlefield.
The Poisonous Giant Snake was startled.
Without waiting for itself to be attacked, it raised its head and opened its mouth as wide as possible.
After that, a green ball of light floated right above his mouth. It collects the spiritual energy and poison gas scattered around here rapidly.
Gradually, it grew bigger and bigger until it formed an astonishing spiral of energy. The originally dark night sky instantly turned green, and the scattered spiritual energy gathered in one spot.
Although monkeys have low intelligence, they are not completely stupid. They only know that the green thing is dangerous by relying on beast instincts.
However, despite facing such a fearful phenomenon, they are still a fearless force.
Since the Poisonous Giant Snake was busy gathering energy, the monkeys decided to attack its unguarded giant body with the weapons they were holding.
They made a lot of strange noise as their weapons had already pierced through the Poisonous Giant Snake's hard skin.
The Poisonous Giant Snake's eyes turned bloodshot after receiving countless attacks incessantly. The injuries tattered its body as it continued until the red liquid flowed from its thick skin.
Apparently, the weapons the monkeys use are not ordinary. Almost all of them were Normal Grade Artifacts. Though, none of them exceeded Normal Grade Artifacts.
The Poisonous Giant Snake was quite baffled.
How did this group of monkeys get so much treasure?
Did they loot from somewhere?
The monkeys seem to have more advantages than the Poisonous Giat Snake in this fight. However, it was only temporary.
The monkeys were unable to celebrate too early as the aura given off by the green light above the Poisonous Giant Snake's mouth had reached such a threatening level. Even Qin Yi, who was watching from afar, felt this dangerous instinct.
His face changed as he shouted at the person beside him, "Oh no— Yin Cheng, quickly hide in my shadow!"
Yin Cheng also knew that the situation was awful, so he did not hesitate to obey his master's orders.
After Qin Yi witnessed Yin Cheng successfully merge with his shadow, he immediately used Void Jump to leave this dangerous area.
Immediately he disappeared.
——Not long after Qin Yi disappeared, a loud explosive sound rang out of the fighting area of the Poisonous Giant Snake and the monkeys.
It was a deafening blast as heaven and earth trembled, the forest destroyed, and the sky turned into a blinding light, creating an astonishing phenomenon.
At this point, even the ignorant residents at the Monkey Town eventually realized something was going on the Monkey Mountain.
They looked up at the blinding light at Monkey Mountain curiously. Some immediately made their way into there to see what exactly happened.
For cultivators, even if the source was just a battle, they could still take advantage of the aftermath of the fight.
Meantime, somewhere in the Monkey Mountain, Qin Yi is waiting for the effects of the fight to fade.
That blast contains not only destructive energy but also contains deadly poison. That thing won't disappear easily. If Qin Yi guesses correctly, that place had become a field full of poison at this moment.
Qin Yi sat hanging on a sturdy tree branch. He estimated that the cultivators in Monkey Town had noticed this incident and were probably making their way here by now.
He got the Monkey Wine, and the only unfinished business he has here is to catch the monkeys' main body.
Qin Yi only hoped that the monkeys' main body would not be killed by the attack that the Poisonous Giant Snake created just now.
However, he had not reencountered the monkey since the explosion earlier. Therefore, he was not very confident about the monkey's fate.
Qin Yi decided to return to the battlefield again about thirty minutes later. There he saw the Poisonous Giant Snake lying weakly on the ground. Its body was covered in wounds and blood, but surely it was still alive.
However, Qin Yi still doesn't dare to underestimate it.
Snakes are snakes, after all. They are cunning creatures.
Instead of caring about it, Qin Yi prefers to focus his attention on finding the monkeys' main body.
The on-site environment was completely damaged.
Initially filled with precious wine, the pool now only leaves a big hole filled with green liquid churned like lava. The trees died, and the air was contaminated with poisonous gas.
It will take some time to get rid of it and restore the environment to its former glory.
Before long, Qin Yi heard noise from outside the battlefield.
He frowned as he realized that the cultivators had finally arrived.
However, this place was already shrouded in poisonous gas, and unless they had something equivalent to a Rank 3 Detoxification Pill, they wouldn't dare to enter this site.
If they entered carelessly, only death awaited them. Therefore, they could only peek from the outside.
Qin Yi decided to ignore them and keep looking for his objective.
After searching for more than fifteen minutes, he found a remote cave not far from the battlefield.
The cave was hidden deeply and covered by thick wood branches and bushes. If not for his keen observation, Qin Yi might not be able to locate it.
Arriving at the cave gate, Qin Yi cautiously spread his spiritual sense inside. However, he didn't feel anything threatening.
"Yin Cheng, guard the entrance!" Qin Yi ordered in a low voice.
Hearing this command, Yin Cheng immediately separated himself from his master's shadow and replied, "Yes, Master!"
After that, Qin Yi did not hesitate to enter it.
Inside the cave is nothing but rocks and the sound of water droplets from the stalactite. The air is thin, but the spiritual energy here is thicker than outside.
No doubt that this cave must be the nest of the Mystic Beast.
The monkeys had stolen many treasures from the cultivators who visited this mountain over the years. Thus, their accumulated treasures must have piled up like a hill.
If this cave were indeed the nest of the Mystic Beast, then those treasures would definitely be stored here.
——And that Mystic Beast might also be resting here.
Qin Yi excitedly walked through the long and narrow stone passage.
Arriving at the deepest areas of the cave, his eyes were dazzled by that glittering pile of gold. Apart from gold, there were various other treasures such as artifacts, heaven and earth materials, pill bottles, spirit stones, and even clothes.
Even Qin Yi couldn't help but be greedy by the sight of this.
Using the Hidden Night Cloak's invisibility ability, he walked into the room as his eyes carefully swept across the room.
However, when his eyes moved up to the top of the treasure mountain, he saw a magnificent chair that glitters with gold ornaments that a white monkey was sitting on.
This monkey was precisely the same as any other white-haired monkey he had seen before.
However, this monkey's complexion is not quite right at the moment. It looks like it's being poisoned.
Qin Yi immediately climbed up the treasure mountain. Once he reached the top, he immediately checked the monkey's condition.
A few seconds later, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Good thing that it's still alive!"
Qin Yi was in no hurry to heal it.
He looked at the monkey closer and found a distinctive mark between his eyes.
He was surprised because he was familiar with it.
This unique mark is similar to Little Star and Little Moon's marks on their forehead.
Perhaps it was the unique mark of the Mystic Beasts.. Qin Yi couldn't help but speculate.
