Chapter 114: The Monkey King in the cave

Three days after the caravan left the village.

In the stone forest within the mountain, it was filled with a dark red light.

A huge stone pillar protruded from the ceiling, resembling a long and gigantic tree trunk, forming a majestic gray-colored stone forest.

Fang Yuan retreated from the battle in the stone forest.

chirping chirping……

A group of stone monkeys stared with their green circular monkey eyes, chasing Fang Yuan nonstop.

“Moonglow Gu!” Fang Yuan called out in his mind, his right arm cutting towards the monkey gang.

Church bench.

An eerie blue moonblade as big as a face formed into a crescent moon and pierced through the air, cutting off the monkey gang.

A jade-eyed monkey leaped in the air. Without a foothold to escape, it was hit directly by the moonblade.

Before he could shout, at the next moment, his entire body was split in two from head to toe.

It had lost all of its remaining life force and was enveloped in a deep death aura.

In a split second, his living eyes became a pair of jade pearls. As his body descended, it turned into a stone statue.

bams.

With a loud voice, the statue fell to the ground, smashing into pieces.

The moonblade only dimmed slightly, and after killing this stone monkey, its power remained as it attacked the monkey behind.

Kachakkk…

After a few cries, five or six stone apes died on the spot.

chirping chirping!

The death of their comrade sparked the anger of the monkey gang as they bellowed furiously, their influence multiplied, leaping towards Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan was unaffected by the danger, his heart remained as calm as ice. He fought and retreated appropriately. As the stone ape approached, he attacked with the moon sword.

Moonlight Gu in the past, even with the encouragement of Little Light Gu, each moonblade could only kill one or two monkeys. But now, with one strike, Moonglow Gu could kill five or six stone monkeys.

But there are positive and negative effects. Moonglow Gu, to the current Fang Yuan, had an enormous cost.

Each moonblade used 10% of its red steel primordial essence. Fang Yuan only had 44% of the primeval sea in his aperture.

This meant that he could only use four moon swords at once.

“If I manage to combine the Four Flavours Liquor worm and refine my ancient essence, I will be able to fire eight moonblades. Too bad. Although I have a second Liquor worm and three of the four flavors of wine, I lack the latter, I am stuck on the last step, "Fang Yuan sighed deeply.

Three moon blades later, its aperture only had 14% of its pink primeval essence left.

To play it safe, he no longer used moonblade, but activated White Jade Gu.

The stone monkey surrounded him, the nearby monkey leaped at Fang Yuan's feet and went crazy. From the bottom up, he used his monkey head to hit Fang Yuan's chin.

Fang Yuan snorted, he wanted to use his fists to crush this overconfident monkey.

But he suddenly thought and stopped his hand, using his chin to receive the punch.

A moment before the impact point, his chin shone with a white jade-cold light.

A loud bam voice sounded.

The force of the attack caused Fang Yuan's head to tilt backwards. But the monkey lay on the ground, hugging his head and rolling on the ground while screaming in pain.

Without the White Jade Gu, Fang Yuan's chin would be shattered. But now, Fang Yuan only felt slightly dizzy unscathed.

But, even with White Jade Gu's defense, he still had to withstand the impact of the attack.

Fang Yuan took a few steps back before recovering and saw the scene clearly before his eyes again.

He had purposely restrained the monkey head earlier, it was for this body to get used to such attacks and get used to a little dizziness.

This way, in the future when he fell into a life and death crisis, facing such an attack, he would be able to recover faster and fight for a chance of survival.

Fang Yuan had always been ruthless with his methods. This cruelty was not only against the enemy, but also himself!

He came here to kill the stone monkey almost every three days.

The motive is not only the inheritance of the power of the Flower Wine Monk, but also another motive — to utilize the stone monkey to train his own fighting abilities.

Master Gu's physical stats, physical fighting prowess, ancient essence openings, fighting experience, and every Gu worm, were all elements that affected the overall battle power.

Only by gathering all these elements together could one exert the greatest fighting strength.

The group of stone monkeys were like hammers, and Fang Yuan was a bar that had just come out of the cauldron. With each hammer blow, he would become sturdier, smoother, and more compact.

Fifteen minutes later, the battle was over.

"I killed forty-one jade-eyed monkeys this time," Fang Yuan counted in his heart, and each time he would compile the results of the battle. From each battle, he pondered on himself and corrected what he did not do properly. At the same time, he would feel his own increasing speed.

“In the previous battle, Moonglow Gu was the most contributing factor, with three moon swords killing at least seventeen or eighteen stone monkeys. That's about half of the entire battle outcome, the remaining monkeys were all killed by my close combat.

The effect of Moonlight Gu on the stone monkey was not very clear. But after advancing onto Moonglow Gu, it leaped into the most powerful attack method of Fang Yuan.

Not only was his attack power strong, but more importantly, his efficiency was extremely high.

Fang Yuan used three moon swords in just a span of a few moments, but when he used his fists and kicks to crush the stone monkey, it took over ten minutes.

This stone monkey was extremely agile and his movements were fast.

When the stone monkeys were on the ground, there was no point in thinking of hitting them physically. With a leap, they could easily jump and dodge Fang Yuan's attacks.

The only drawback is that when they jump in the air, they are unable to change the direction of their movement. Fang Yuan could kill them, due to this weakness

But this was because of his rich fighting experience. If it was another second rank Gu master, even Chi Shan, Mo Yan or Qing Shu, they would not be able to catch the weakness every time like Fang Yuan.

The memories of his previous life could allow Fang Yuan to sensitively capture the opportunities in battle and seize them. He could meticulously use every ounce of his strength. Even though he was rank two, he was already able to utilize his fighting strength to the limit of his abilities.

He was obviously not like Fang Zheng, who had Jade Skin Gu, but in the arena after being overwhelmed by Fang Yuan's aura, he couldn't even show his strength.

Of course, Fang Yuan's cultivation was still very low, and against the group of monkeys, he couldn't overwhelm them with violence.

Each time, he had to fight while retreating.

Fortunately, the monkeys did not have high intelligence. They could not adjust their attack patterns, and even after seeing Fang Yuan smash them in the air many times, they still leaped towards Fang Yuan while attacking.

At the same time, every time they chased after Fang Yuan, if it was too far away from their home, their yearning for the house would defeat their anger. Many monkeys give up on the chase because of this.

Gu is the essence of heaven and earth, man is the spirit of all living beings.

Fang Yuan relied on his human intelligence to understand the habits of the stone monkey and used the correct fighting methods to go deeper into the stone forest, at this point he was already near the central area of the stone forest.

After much effort, Fang Yuan finally exterminated the group of monkeys on this stone pillar.

Right now, in front of him, was the final pillar.

It was the largest and thickest stone pillar in this stone forest.

The pillar extended downward from the ceiling, almost touching the ground. It emitted a majestic aura in the midst of silence.

Fang Yuan calculated the number of stone caves on the pillars, obtaining an estimate of at least five hundred stone monkeys. This was the largest group of monkeys he had encountered until now.

But no matter how many jade-eyed monkeys there were, to Fang Yuan, it was only a slight problem, at most he had to exert more effort and waste a few more trips.

What caused his gaze to become serious, was the stone cave at the very top level.

The entrance of this cave is larger than the surrounding caves, at least twice as large if not more.

And underneath, the caverns were tightly arranged, forming and resembling positions in which they worshipped and worshipped.

"It looks like there's a monkey king in this rock cave." Fang Yuan frowned.

Here's where the problem is.

As long as a large beast group, there would be a beast king created. There's a king of boars in the boar group. Obviously there will also be a monkey king in the monkey group.

The threat of the king of ferocious beasts was several times higher than that of ordinary ferocious beasts.

The reason for that was because their bodies had one or two Gu worms in them. This Gu had a mutual partnership with the beast king, and once the beast king was attacked, they would come out and help.

“This jade-eyed monkey king should not be too strong, at least weaker than the wild boar king. Otherwise, the group of monkeys around him was already under his control. ” Fang Yuan used his experience, measuring the monkey king's strength.

Usually, the larger the group of beasts, the stronger the beast king; the weaker beast king lacked the ability to rule a large number of his kind.

According to the size of the savage beast group and the classification of beast kings, from low to high, they could be classified as a hundred beast kings, a thousand beast kings, and countless beast kings.

The boar king hunted by the sickly group of snakes was a thousand beast kings, he ruled over a thousand wild boars.

The stone monkey king before Fang Yuan was a hundred beast kings, having only a few hundred stone monkeys under his control.

The culprit behind the wolf wave, the lightning crown wolf was the king of countless beasts, every lightning crown wolf ruled over at least ten thousand lightning wolves.

The difference in abilities between the three beast kings, was huge.

Thousands of beast kings needed three teams to work together in order to kill him. The group of sickly snakes were able to face the king of the boars, mostly because he was injured earlier.

A countless king of ferocious beasts required the clan elders and clan leaders to work together to be able to fight him head-on.

As for the hundred beast kings, a group of five ordinary people would be able to handle it.

But for Fang Yuan who wanted to deal with this monkey king, he could not borrow any outside power, and could only rely on his own strength.

"Rank two early stage primordial essences aren't effective here, it seems like it's time to use the red steel Relic Gu." Fang Yuan stared at the stone cave deeply, then left the second secret room and closed the stone door.

If the one blocking his path was a thousand beast kings like the boar king, Fang Yuan would retreat without thinking.

But if it was only a hundred beast kings, if Fang Yuan had a rank two intermediate level cultivation, he could give it a try.

Of course, the results can go well. Even with his intermediate stage cultivation, he still had around a 75% chance of failure, his chance of success did not even reach 30%.
