Rebirth: Colorful Divine Body - C36
The sky gradually darkened, and night was about to arrive.
Looking at the three people at the edge of the forest, Mu Feng and Jing Ru were already leaning against the tree and snoring loudly, while Chen Hui was still looking around.
Chen Hui was the oldest here, and his qualifications was also the highest. After a few discussions, he finally obtained this glorious sentry duty.
As Mu Feng’s Eldest Brother, Jing Ru’s lover, how could he bear for either of them to stand guard? Chen Hui could be said to be someone who treasured his brothers and his friends, someone who was only interested in his lover.
“Mudi, wake up!”
“Ru Ru, wake up!”
Chen Hui gently shook them one by one when he got down from the tree.
“The apes went out to hunt for food?” Mu Feng who was woken up asked while wiping his eyes.
“Not yet!”
“However, I feel that we should go closer to the cave entrance and investigate. Knowing ourselves and knowing our enemy, we will be able to win a hundred battles. I wonder if the two of you have any objections?” Chen Hui said as he looked at Mu Feng.
“Big Brother Chen, I have no objections!”
“Eh, I agree!”
“Since no one has any objections, then let’s head over now. It’s just right for us to go now since the sky has just turned dark. If we were to run into an ape looking for food when it’s too late, then things would be bad.”
Everyone moved in a moment’s time, they said they would leave, but it did not seem to be practical to say that they would leave, at that moment, Mu Feng and the other two were like trained soldiers, crawling on the ground, occasionally looking up and looking around.
The distance of fifty meters was two hours, so when the three of them arrived at the cave entrance, they stood up stealthily, carefully getting close to the two sides of the cave, their ears resting on the petrous wall s, quietly listening to the cave’s movements.
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the cave was quiet without the slightest movement. After another half cup of tea, it was the same, quiet, and only the crickets could be heard.
At this time, not only were they nervous, they were also a little impatient. They wished that they could rush in and grab the Day lingcao and quickly leave this place.
But they knew clearly that this was the Ape’s nest, and it would definitely not be as simple as it looked on the surface.
Just as Mu Feng and the rest were at their wits’ end, an ear-splitting voice came from the cave, followed by “bam, bounce, bounce”. As the sound echoed out, the ground began to shake.
“Hurry up and go back into the forest to hide, that ape is about to come out.”
With that, Chen Hui dragged Mu Feng and ran towards the forest fifty meters away.
Chen Hui and the others who were hiding at the edge of the forest, raised their heads slightly and looked at the cave entrance from afar.
“Hou, hou …”
The Roar’s ears were deafening. It could only cover them with its hands, if it used more than that, its eardrums would probably shatter.
Not long after, a blood-red ape appeared at the entrance of the cave. Its size was enormous, comparable to the size of an elephant.
It stood at the entrance of the cave and suddenly let out a long roar towards the sky: “Roar …” That beautiful Roar did not disappear for a long time, as if it was warning the surrounding Demonic Beast not to go near, otherwise it would suffer the endless anger of the ape.
A wave of pressuring energy swept over them. Mu Feng and the rest immediately lowered their heads and held their breaths, afraid that they would be detected by the apes, otherwise, all their hard work would have been for naught.
The ape scanned back and forth five or six times before it slowly walked into the depths of Ten Thousand Beast Valley.
Seeing the ape being so cautious, Mu Feng and the others became even more convinced that there must be Treasure inside the cave, maybe there might even be other spirit herbs inside.
Day lingcao s were high quality Mortal Spirit Grass and were extremely precious. They were the main ingredient to concoct Foundation Pills and would normally reproduce in dark and humid places where the spiritual energy were abundant, making them extremely rare.
From low to high, they were split into Human Level Spirit Grasses, Earth Level Spirit Grass, and Heaven Level Spirit Grass. Each rank was further divided into Low Rank, medium grade, High Rank, and Top Rank.
“Mudi, Ru Ru, I think we should split up. I will be responsible for keeping watch at the cave entrance, the two of you go in to pick the Day lingcao!”
“Big Brother Chen, why not Senior Sister Jing Ru with you? If the ape comes back and there’s one more person to fight, what do you think?”
Chen Hui thought for a bit, but in the end, he still shook his head and said: “Although the ape might be able to turn back, it shouldn’t be that fast. Furthermore, we are at the same level, so even if we can’t beat it, we should at least be able to hold out for a while, and the cave might be in danger.
What Big Brother Chen said was not without reason. In fact, Mu Feng knew that Big Brother Chen was concerned about him, and to be able to make such a choice in a situation where there was a possibility of him losing his life due to the absence of a single person, Mu Feng remembered this kindness in his heart.
“Since that’s the case, then Big Brother Chen, I will be going in with Senior Sister. Take care!”
“Alright, stop wasting time. Hurry up and come back, time is of the essence!” Chen Hui urged.
After bidding farewell to the Big Brother Chen, Mu Feng and Jing Ru leaned against the wall and slowly crawled forward. The unknown danger was the most terrifying, and no one knew whether or not there would be a second ape inside.
The cave was terrifyingly quiet, and the only sound that could be heard was the pounding of their hearts. Their nerves were taut, and they were already sweating profusely. It was obvious that they were extremely nervous and oppressed.
After a few turns, the space of the cave gradually widened. A faint green light appeared not far away, illuminating the path forward.
With the light, Mu Feng and Jing Ru sped up their footsteps. After a few turns, they suddenly saw a floor full of Day lingcao s, emitting a green glow that looked like fireflies. In the middle, there was a huge bed made with all kinds of different Demonic Beast hairs, on it laid two ape cubs that were as big as puppies.
“Shh!”
Mu Feng hushed them, and pointed to the Ape Ape cub on the bed.
Mu Feng and Yue Yang started to pick Day lingcao s quietly, and they were extremely happy in their hearts. A Day lingcao could be exchanged for a thousand contribution points, so there were at least a hundred Day lingcao here.
“Ouch!”
Jing Ru accidentally stepped on a stone and slipped and fell. This fall woke up the two sleeping young apes.
The young ape saw someone and immediately retreated, leaning against the wall and snarling.
Mu Feng helped Jing Ru up, and thought to himself while looking at the young lad: “This is bad, I have to leave quickly.”
“Roar ~ ~” Roar! “Roar …”
The sound was getting closer and closer. Chen Hui was extremely anxious and immediately shouted into the cave, “Ru Ru, Mudi, come out quickly. The ape is about to come back!”
After shouting a few times, he took out the Weapons s, preparing to stop the ape and buy some time for Mu Feng to come out safely.
Mu Feng vaguely heard Chen Hui’s shout, and ignored everything else as he supported Jing Ru and quickly rushed towards the cave entrance. Before he left, he glanced at the Day lingcao that was still in the process of being harvested reluctantly.
When Mu Feng came out of the cave, he just so happened to see Chen Hui vomiting blood and flying back, as well as the ape that was returning on the other side.
Presumably, that little ape kid had some method to contact the female ape. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to return so quickly!
When the ape saw Mu Feng coming out of the cave, he became even more berserk, and started slapping its chest repeatedly.
“Mudi Ru Ru, you guys hurry up and go. I can still hold on. Chen Hui crawled up and roared at the two of them.
“Foolish Hui, Ru Ru will lend you a helping hand!”
Jing Ru flung away the hand that Mu Feng was holding and flew to the front of Chen Hui who was fighting the ape and joined the battle.
“Quickly leave! Don’t worry about me or we’ll all die here!”
Seeing that Mu Feng was still not leaving, and had even joined the battle, Chen Hui’s heart bled, and roared like a madman.
Just then, Mu Feng who was deep in thought spoke out.
“Ape, you actually have the mood to fight with us?” I’m afraid if you don’t go back now, your two children will lose their lives! ”
The spirit beast was at the beginning of its consciousness. Although it could not speak human language, it could understand what was being said.
Hearing Mu Feng’s words, the ape stopped its attack and glared viciously at Mu Feng, as if it couldn’t wait to drink Mu Feng’s blood.
“Roar!”
The ape roared and dashed into the cave. The Roar seemed to be warning Mu Feng that if anything were to happen to his child, he would make him dead without a burial ground.
“Hurry up!”
Seeing the ape enter the cave, Mu Feng immediately carried the injured Big Brother Chen on his back and ran into the forest. When he left the cave entrance and ran a few hundred meters into the forest, he heard the angry roars of the ape, as if he had been tricked.
Maybe it was afraid that Mu Feng and the others would have accomplices, and would take advantage of the time it had been giving them to attack the hatchlings.
He ran for who knows how long, until Mu Feng’s legs went weak and he still did not have the intention to stop, until he was unable to run, then he could not let go of Chen Hui, and Mu Feng immediately used Sky Eye to look around.
After realising that there were no apes around, Mu Feng sat on the ground and panted heavily.
“Junior Brother Mu Feng, thank you!” Jing Ru said.
“There’s no need to be courteous Senior Sister Jing Ru, even if we have to thank you, we would have to thank him as well. If not for his injuries delaying us, I’m afraid that we would have already died in the ape’s lair.”
“Mudi, you are too modest. If you did not act rashly and use the young ape to trick them into leaving, how would we have had the chance to escape?”
Big Brother Chen, let’s not talk about that anymore. How are your injuries?
Mu Feng concernedly asked about Chen Hui’s injuries, and at the same time, wanted to change the topic.
“Don’t worry about it. It will only take a few days of cultivation to recover.”
“Oh right, you managed to get the Day lingcao?” Chen Hui asked.
If he did not obtain the Day lingcao, then everything he had spent on it would have been in vain. Therefore, compared to other things, the Day lingcao was even more important.
“Here, look!”
Mu Feng took out the Day lingcao that was stored in the Heaven Ring and presented in front of Chen Hui.
“So many?” There are fifty of them here! ” Chen Hui looked at Mu Feng doubtfully.
“Eh, Big Brother Chen, you might not know this, but this is actually only half of it. The other half woke up the young ape before they even had time to pick it. I guess the problem with the young ape returning so quickly.”
“It’s all my fault that I accidentally fell down and woke up the Ape Ape cub, causing the Ape Ape Ape to turn back and injure Foolish Hui, and also missing a few dozen Day lingcao s.” Jing Ru lowered her head and said guiltily.
Chen Hui patted Jing Ru’s shoulder and said: “Ru Ru, don’t feel guilty. Everything is heaven’s will.
“Alright, let’s hurry back!”
