From a martial arts disciple to a god through countless trials and tribulations

Chapter 67 Old Mandrill

Under the fiery red pear tree, two mandrills were sleeping in the shade. They were more than half a person's height, with one foot leaning backwards, thick black hair, and ugly faces.

Buckets, hoes and other tools are placed under the tree.

"The two mandrills are sleeping. We should keep quiet and attack them by surprise if possible. Don't make any big noise." Chen Xuan whispered, approaching a mandrill silently.

"Tiger, I also feel the same way—"

Hu Da said in a deep and majestic voice. Dozens of meters away, the ears of two sleeping mandrills moved slightly and they opened their eyes in a daze.

"???"

Chen Xuan was stunned for a moment.

"Wake up! The mandrill was woken up by the stupid tiger!" The little red fox tiptoed forward and suddenly covered his mouth and exclaimed in surprise.

Several little ghosts were so scared that they stopped and held their breath.

Under the pear tree, two mandrills turned over. One of them sat up, blinking its hazy eyes as it stared blankly at the man and six ghosts that appeared in the distance. It opened its mouth and said:

"you……"

"boom!"

Chen Xuan increased his speed instantly, and the amazing aura he had been restraining burst out without reservation, sweeping away like a gust of wind.

Our whereabouts have been exposed, so we have to start fighting right away. We must get rid of the mandrills as quickly as possible to prevent them from calling their companions.

"boom!"

Chen Xuan rushed to a mandrill at high speed, activated his white Qi, and threw a punch. The mandrill reacted quickly, exerted force with its huge feet, and leaped backwards to avoid the attack.

This is a three-times-transformed mandrill monster. As it retreats, a violent red energy bursts out from its body, and the shadow of a huge red-haired giant ape emerges.

"brush!"

Chen Xuan was even faster. He rose from the ground like a dragon emerging from the abyss, leaving behind a white afterimage. He chased the baboon in mid-air and grabbed its body with his five fingers.

The other hand shot out like lightning, striking the side of the mandrill's head.

The mandrill has a human-like body. After being hit hard on the temple, its eyes suddenly turned black and it fell into a coma.

When Chen Xuan landed on the ground, the mandrill in his hand had lost consciousness, as if its spine had been pulled out, and fell limply to the ground.

"puff!"

In mid-air, the phantom of the red giant ape disappeared under the swift attack before it could be fully summoned.

"Ow!"

The other mandrill was startled, its face horrified, and it immediately stretched its neck and let out a long, shrill roar. But before the shrill roar could be heard, a shadow bursting with five-colored fairy light came from the side, and an iron-like palm grabbed the mandrill's face and forcibly suppressed the roar from its mouth.

"Ow..."

The mandrill's cry was blocked in its throat, and its skinny body struggled desperately. Chen Xuan hit it on the side of the head with a punch, and its body tensed up. Then, it lost all its strength like a puddle of mud.

"Hey!"

A thin layer of sweat broke out on Chen Xuan's forehead and he took a deep breath.

All this happened within just two breaths. He almost instantly burst out all his strength to the extreme, knocking out two mandrills like a gust of wind blowing fallen leaves, and barely pulled the out-of-control situation back.

Chen Xuan turned his head and stared at the tiger demon with a knife on his back: "..."

Hu Da was also startled by Chen Xuan's sudden burst of power, but he realized that he had done something wrong. With an embarrassed look on his face, he explained, "Second Brother, I am an upright ghost. This is the first time I have committed theft—"

"Stupid Tiger, stop pretending. It's pissing me off. All you do all day is yell and act recklessly. You'll be second from now on!"

The little red fox was furious, with his hands on his hips and stamping his feet, pointing at the knife-carrying tiger demon and complaining loudly: "Benefactor, please sit in the first place!"

Then, he hurriedly led the other little ghosts to run and hurriedly picked the four fairy pears from the pear tree.

Hu Da's body tensed, feeling completely humiliated in front of Little Fox. He rubbed the back of his head, looked at Chen Xuan, and asked, "Little Fox, you're joking... Ha, Second Brother, don't worry about her. Let's just go on with our own business... We might have alerted other mandrills. What should we do next?"

"It's all here."

Chen Xuan sighed and said, "Sooner or later, the old mandrill will notice something unusual. Let's just start grabbing as many as we can."

Four fairy pears are not enough for seven people to share. We can't just take a bite each, right?

"That's what Tiger wants to do. Grab them all!"

Hu Da's eyes lit up. He had never stolen before, but he had robbed many times before! He instantly rushed towards the second pear tree in the distance like a tiger out of its cage. "Let Bai Zi, the little fox, see what I can do!"

Chen Xuan smiled helplessly and followed him. There was nothing to blame. Ghosts have very distinct personalities. They are all like this!
On top of the mountain.

Among dozens of newly built simple wooden houses, there is an old white-browed mandrill, more than ten meters tall, holding a fairy pear between two fingers, concentrating on making wine.

"what?"

Suddenly, the old mandrill stopped moving, as if it sensed something. In its perception, one red qi after another produced abnormal fluctuations.

At first he didn't care, but later there were more than a dozen abnormal red qi, and he could no longer sit still.

"What happened?"

He walked out of the winery. In the distant woods, birds and animals took flight in fright, and subtle noises could be heard.

Although the Daozang Realm can sense the fluctuations of immortal energy from a distance, in order to view and control the memory of immortal energy, it needs to be done in person... Viewing and controlling from a distance is something that only top-level monsters like the old turtle can do.

"Enemy attack, ghosts have broken into the Pear Garden!"

Suddenly, a mandrill rushed into the village, screaming loudly.

"Humph!"

The old white-browed mandrill snorted coldly upon hearing this. He raised one of his four or five-meter-long arms, and his thick hair cascaded down like a curtain. He said in a resounding voice, "Give me my weapon!"

"Squeak!"

A dozen mandrills were sweating and panting, leaving deep footprints on the ground. They were dragging a nearly ten-meter-long black iron rod with a rope. The rod was as thick as a bucket, weighed tens of thousands of pounds, and was covered in rust.

Among the woodlands.

"Roar!"

Hu Da was like a demon descending from the sky, his fists exploding with thunderous claps. His position threatened, he displayed greater strength than ever before, instantly sending a mandrill guarding a pear tree flying. Chen Xuan scurried like the wind, plucking five immortal pears from the tree in a matter of seconds, dropping them precisely into bamboo baskets carried by several hurriedly approaching little demons. The little red fox and the other demons stared wide-eyed, "Got it right! My benefactor is truly amazing!"

"Go to the next place!"

One man and six demons, without stopping for a moment, immediately rushed to the next fairy pear location.

"Grab them all! Take them back and make some wine. Don't leave any for these wicked mandrills!"

The backpacks of the little goblins were almost full, with a strong fruity aroma. Thirty or forty white jade-like fairy pears were shining with a soft glow in the baskets.

In just a cup of tea, they picked pears from nearly ten trees, almost clearing out half of the pear orchard.

"hiss!"

Suddenly, the little red fox shuddered, sensing the trembling of the red energy within its body, and cried out in surprise, "The old mandrill has discovered us!"

The old mandrill cultivated red Qi and at this moment sensed the little red fox.

In the sky, little birds circled and flew down, giving warning cries: "He's coming, he's coming, he's coming with a big black iron rod!"

The old mandrill has determined their approximate location through the little red fox.

In the distance, the old baboon walked out of the village and gave chase. Trees fell in rows and smoke and dust rose into the sky.

Chen Xuan immediately said, "Let's go."

Hu Da immediately repeated, "Let's go!"

"escape!"

Chen Xuan grabbed the little red fox and fled from the Pear Garden at a very fast speed, followed closely by the other five ghosts.

"With the little fox here, we can't escape."

Soon, Chen Xuan realized this because the old baboon was getting closer and closer to them and the noise was getting louder and louder.

He immediately threw the little red fox, whose limbs were gradually becoming limp, to the largest of the four-tusked elephants and said to the tiger demon with a knife on its back, "Let's intercept it and lure the old mandrill away. Let the little red fox escape to a safe distance first!"

This is the only way to get rid of the old mandrill.

"Okay, what Lao Er said makes sense. Tiger agrees!"

Hu Da nodded in agreement, agreeing with what Chen Xuan said.

About thirty breaths later, a white figure over ten meters tall emerged from the woods, carrying a black iron rod on its shoulder. As it ran, the big trees fell like grass.

"what!"

The old mandrill with white eyebrows stopped and looked at Chen Xuan and Hu Da who were standing still. Then, he glanced at Hu Da a few times, as if he realized that the tiger demon with a knife on his back had a good background. He frowned and asked:

"Whose family are you from? How dare you steal things from the opera house!"

Chen Xuan's eyes were like an eagle, scanning every corner of the old mandrill's huge body.

Hu Da placed his hand on the hilt of the knife and challenged him directly, "Where I come from is none of your business. Who allowed you to occupy the Pear Garden without permission? Is this place yours? We haven't bothered you yet!"

The old white-browed mandrill's face changed and he was enraged. He clenched the black iron rod with his millstone-sized hands and smashed it directly at the two figures dozens of meters away!

"You ignorant youngsters, you stole the fairy pear. No one can save you!"

"boom!"

The earth shook and the black iron rod smashed a big hole in the ground. Chen Xuan and the tiger demon dodged the attack at the last moment, then turned around and fled into the woods.

"Catch us if you can!" The man and the tiger split into two groups and rushed into the dense forest.

The tiger demon roared and ran at a very fast speed, disappearing into the woods in an instant.

After Chen Xuan distanced himself from the old mandrill, he stopped under a tree with a serious expression on his face. He pinched his precious purple gold jade bracelet between his five fingers and continued to stare at the old mandrill.

The old mandrill with white eyebrows pulled up the black iron rod that was stuck in the ground, glanced at the direction where Hu Da had left, then turned his gaze to Chen Xuan and sneered, "Luring the tiger away from the mountain? I won't fall for it."

Although the two were very close to each other, he was very sober and ignored them, and continued to chase in the direction of the little red fox.

The fairy pear is not on either of them, so it is useless to catch it.

"Huh? You're not chasing me?"

Chen Xuan's face turned cold, and he suddenly threw the purple gold jade bracelet in his sleeve out. A purple light quickly crossed the sky.

"Buzz!"

The old mandrill heard a whistling sound from the side and behind, and with a glance, he saw a purple-gold jade bracelet flying towards him... Haha, a toy used as a decoration by human women.

He didn't care and just swept it away.

"Bang!"

A deafening trembling sound was heard. The purple gold jade bracelet weighed tens of thousands of pounds, smashing the old baboon's palm until it was bleeding and breaking his fingers. The jade bracelet continued to move forward and hit the old baboon's shoulder, causing his huge body like a mountain to fall sideways.

"Buzz!"

The sound waves from the collision of the purple gold jade bracelet, a precious artifact, were like the divine sound of the avenue resonating, pouring into the old baboon's ears like a tidal wave.

The old mandrill's eardrum ruptured, two streams of blood flowed out, and his eyes went black and he lost consciousness for a short time.

"brush!"

Chen Xuan was also hit by the indiscriminate and violent sound waves, but the distance was far and the impact was not serious.

He shook his slightly dizzy head, quickly stepped forward to pick up the flying purple gold jade bracelet, stared at the old mandrill who was slowly getting up, and asked in a cold voice:

"Are you going to chase me or not? If not, I'll hit you!"

"Hey!"

The old mandrill panted, half-knelt on the ground, and supported the black iron rod with his palms. His face became ferocious: "You are looking for death..."

"That's all."

Chen Xuan felt that the old mandrill was not as strong as he had imagined. He was indeed old. He changed his mind and decided to test it: "Where is your Daozang? Can you show it to me?"
