Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 44 Breaking Through Defenses

In the silent forest, a figure in black robes stood with crimson lightning flashing beneath his feet. Two first-tier crimson ice snakes hidden not far away were instantly charred black, and the aroma of roasted meat filled the surroundings.

The Crimson Ice Serpent is an ice-elemental creature that produces a chilling venom. It is adept at hiding and if bitten, its body will gradually stiffen and its blood will freeze within half a day, eventually leading to death.

It is a common monster on the outskirts of the Monster Mountain Range, and a monster that mercenaries hate very much because it has a very low chance of producing a magic core, is small in size and its meat is inedible, so it has little value.

"Xiao Bai, you don't want one of them that has a magic core?" Seeing that Xiao Bai was very impulsive this time, directly shattering the magic core of the Crimson Ice Serpent, Yao Lao couldn't help but speak up.

"No, I have too much in my hands!" Xiao Bai shook his head and said somewhat irritably.

It wasn't directed at Yao Lao, but rather that he had been in the Monster Mountain Range for five days and had searched more than ten cliffs without finding the cave from the original story.

Moreover, this Monster Mountain Range truly lives up to its name as a monster paradise, with far too many Tier 1 monsters, which is quite annoying to him.

When they first entered the mountains, Xiao Bai was very interested in magical beasts. After killing a magical beast, he would carefully take out any magical cores he found. He was a little excited every time, just like when he played online games in his previous life and killed monsters to get materials.

But now Xiao Bai is so disgusted by first-tier magical beasts that he almost throws up. He now greatly admires the Sword God of Shili Slope, who never gets tired of grinding monsters every day.

He wouldn't have bothered with those two crimson ice snakes if they hadn't tried to attack him.

"Take it slow! If what that 'Heavenly Silkworm Child' said is true, then the chances of finding the next cliff increase with each search we complete!"

Seeing that Xiao Bai was a little troubled, the old doctor floated out and gently comforted him.

Xiao Bai rubbed his temples. Since entering the Monster Mountain Range, he had not withdrawn his soul power. Although the scanning range was small and the consumption was low, he still couldn't help but feel a little mentally exhausted.

He didn't know where Little Fairy Doctor's mercenary group was located. He had encountered many mercenary groups in the past few days, but he hadn't found any girls who matched the description in the original work.

Hearing the old doctor's words of comfort, Xiao Bai nodded: "For now, that's all we can do, hmm?" He seemed to sense that something was amiss in his surroundings.

"Huh?" The old doctor paused in stroking his beard and let out a soft "Huh?"

"Why are there so many of these things here? Did we intrude into their lair?" Yao Lao asked in confusion.

"Senior, do you know what these are?" Although Xiao Bai could see them through his soul power, he didn't recognize them.

"Hehe." The old doctor didn't answer, his smile was a little strange.

Before long, some strange magical beasts gradually appeared around them, about twenty in total.

They resemble both humans and apes, but are taller and stronger than humans, with skin that is white with a hint of green and full of wrinkles.

He was incredibly ugly, and most importantly, he had absolutely nothing on his body.

"This is absolutely awful!" Xiao Bai thought to himself.

These strange magical beasts surrounded the man and his soul, keeping a distance of more than ten meters between them, neither advancing nor retreating, their small eyes staring intently at the two.

Xiao Bai sensed their ranks; about ten were second-rank, and the rest were first-rank, so there wasn't much pressure.

I'm just a little curious about what these immoral monsters are up to.

"roar!"

A loud roar came from not far away, and the monsters surrounding the two became a little agitated. The monsters in one direction quickly parted to the sides, revealing a three-meter-wide opening.

Turning around, they saw three even stronger magical beasts slowly walking into the encirclement and standing not far from the two of them.

Xiao Bai looked at the three magical beasts not far away, two of which were at the peak of the second tier, and one of which had even reached the third tier.

"Senior, what kind of magical beasts are these? Why do they seem so intelligent?" Xiao Bai asked Yao Lao with some curiosity, looking at these strange magical beasts that neither attacked nor retreated.

"Hehe~, kid, this is a pair of apes. They're quite interested in men too!" Yao Lao said with a wicked smile to Xiao Bai.

"The He Yuan!" Xiao Bai understood. So this magical beast was the He Yuan mentioned in the original work.

Then, the old doctor told Xiao Bai about the He Ape. It turned out that the He Ape was not very intelligent, but it was a social species. In the species, females were generally stronger than males. In the words of his previous life, it was a matrilineal group, and males had a lower status.

Besides being interested in their own kind, the apes were also very interested in humans.

Despite their ugly appearance, they have a high aesthetic standard for humans. Male zygos prefer beautiful women, while female zygos prefer handsome men.

Some males, unable to tolerate the situation within the group, leave to live in solitude, while female zygiums do not leave the group. This leads to the common belief that zygiums prefer human women, and few people know that the zygium species is bisexual.

The third-tier magical beast before them was none other than the Mother Ape.

Hearing this made Xiao Bai feel disgusted. Looking at the eyesores around him, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Roar!"

Just as he was about to make his move, the third-tier magical beast suddenly roared twice at the two second-tier magical beasts beside it.

The two magical beasts growled twice, seemingly reluctant. The third-tier magical beast roared a few more times before reluctantly walking towards Xiao Bai.

"This female ape is telling those two to take you back to their cave! They don't want to, because they're afraid you'll compete with them for their affections!" The old man was afraid Xiao Bai wouldn't understand, so he gave a real-time explanation.

"Hehe~" Xiao Bai suppressed his disgust and sneered.

The soul power of the late-stage mortal realm surged outwards without reservation, while the Bing Fire Yang Thunder within his body suddenly burst forth.

When Yao Lao sensed his immense soul power, he wasn't too surprised. But when the extremely yang and powerful crimson color appeared, Yao Lao let out a strange cry and hurriedly floated into the sky.

His soul power is extremely precious right now, and he can't let this kid waste it.

"What a monster!"

Looking at the scene below, Yao Lao's face was filled with shock. He had never seen Xiao Bai go all out before.

Centered on Xiao Bai, a crimson lightning flashed within a radius of more than ten meters. The surrounding apes were initially stunned by the soul impact, standing there blankly, before being enveloped by the rapidly spreading lightning.

Those at the first and second tiers were instantly reduced to charred remains, while those at the third tier only managed a muffled groan before dying a few more seconds later.

After sensing that there was no living person around, Xiao Bai put away the Bing Fire Yang Thunder.

At this moment, a circular patch of charred blackness appeared around Xiao Bai. Standing on it, one felt an intense heat, wisps of smoke rose from it, and a burnt smell wafted from all around.

"Things like the He Yuan shouldn't exist. From now on, kill them every time you see one!" Xiao Bai felt nauseous thinking about the He Yuan's actions earlier and said viciously.

Then he glared at the old doctor fiercely. That old geezer is wicked!

Seeing Xiao Bai's expression, Yao Lao knew that he had just been disgusted. He touched his nose awkwardly, admitting that he had indeed been a bit morbid.

But it's not his fault. It's because his apprentice keeps talking about it to him, wanting to see Xiao Bai get angry and frustrated, which has piqued his interest as well.

Yes, I finally saw it today, but it's a pity Xiao Yanzi wasn't here!
