The Great Martial Arts World: Hot Topics and Great Heroes

Seeing that the little red bird was very clever and would go out and come back, the offering of fruit became even more pleading with Chu Luren—in his opinion, Chu Luren must have a way to get out.

Even if all else fails, we can still contact people outside!

"Enough nonsense! You all stay here, I'm going down to check... Xian Guo, if you want me to take you up later, then you'd better perform well!" Chu Luren scolded.

"Yes, yes, Young Master Chu, I will definitely mend my ways. Young Master Yu will keep an eye on me!" Xian Guo bowed repeatedly.

"Master Chu, are you really going down there? In the past few months, this valley... has become very strange. Why should you take the risk?" Shen Qinghong advised worriedly.

"If those monkeys are really smart enough to capture some martial arts masters and learn their techniques, then there might still be survivors down there. How could I sit idly by!" Chu Luren said with a righteous and noble expression.

Xiaoyuer's sincere admiration made Chu Luren somewhat embarrassed—how could Xiaoyuer possibly admire someone so righteous and glorious? It could only be said that he was a good actor and... had already figured out that Chu Luren had other motives.

"Young Master Chu, why don't you ask him how he cultivated himself to be so friendly with monkeys? Maybe he can even become one with the monkey troop after he goes down there!" Little Fish suggested to Chu Luren with a gleam in his eye.

Little Fish wasn't just talking nonsense; he genuinely felt that offering fruit might, to some extent, allow for communication with monkeys...

Upon hearing this, Chu Luren also felt that it made sense. He hadn't recognized him as a human at first glance, so perhaps even a monkey would mistake him for one of their own kind.

Of course, if the transformation of appearance has to be this severe, then the Chu Lu people have no choice but to give up.

Hearing Xiaoyuer say this, the monkey offering the fruit showed a conflicted look, but immediately made up his mind and nodded, saying, "Alright! Although the skills of our Twelve Constellations are the exclusive property of Wei... Wei... the boss, if Young Master Chu wants to learn them, how can I refuse?"

Even after more than a decade, Xian Guo still dared not call Wei Wuya by his name directly, but the awe he felt had been diminished considerably during this long period of solitude.

If it were more than ten years ago, Xian Guo would definitely not have dared to disobey Wei Wuya and pass on his skills. In fact, the terror of offending Wei Wuya was even greater than death.

However, the torment of the past ten years has already made Xian Guo feel extremely miserable. The thought of being able to get out makes Xian Guo feel that Wei Wuya is not so scary after all!

Xian Guo didn't have any ulterior motives. He honestly handed over all the mental techniques and secrets of the cultivation method to Chu Luren. Sure enough, a spirit monkey was needed to assist in dual cultivation in order to achieve success.

The monkey Chu Luren had no intention of cultivating; he merely wanted to refer to it so that he might be able to communicate with the monkey later.

Chu Luren arrived at the cave entrance, looked around to make sure there were no giant apes in sight, and then leaped down again.

Chu Luren's purpose this time was to investigate the changes in the monkey troop on Mount Emei, and also to find the Five Wonders Underground Palace from the original work!

Therefore, Chu Luren constantly reminded himself that he should be careful not only of monkeys and giant apes, but also of "people"... especially women!

The strange behavior of these monkeys is indeed somewhat creepy, but... at most, they are only "clever and cunning" within the realm of monkeys.

If it were a human, such intelligence wouldn't be scary at all; it's only when it appears in a non-human that it evokes a sense of crisis.

In contrast, there might be a truly terrifying woman "below"—Xiao Mimi! (Not a typo, but to avoid censorship.)

One of the ten most notorious villains, nicknamed "The One Who Can Kill You with His Charm"...

Compared to the other nine villains, Xiao Mimi may be more dangerous, or she may be safer.

What's safe is that Xiao Mimi rarely insists on killing any martial arts practitioner with even a little strength who can go toe-to-toe with her or is even slightly weaker than her, as long as they aren't completely helpless.

This is different from other major villains—even if other major villains are much stronger than them, they still have ways to overcome the stronger with the weak.

For those who are roughly equal in skill level, Xiao Mimi is relatively safe; at most, she might just be seduced!

If the difference in strength is too great, he could easily be captured by Xiao Mimi and made a male concubine or even a dog. However, as long as the difference in strength is not great, or he can defeat Xiao Mimi, then he will only be "taken advantage of" by her.

This can be seen from Xiao Mimi's martial arts style.

Similar to Xue Muhua, Chu Luren's junior apprentice—Xue Muhua would learn a few tricks from someone after healing them, while Xiao Mimi would learn a few tricks from him every time she went on an adventure with her friends…

Therefore, their skills are very diverse!

The reason why Xiao Mimi became one of the top ten villains is firstly because she would use coercive means to extract the essence of those who were weaker than her, and secondly because her seductive skills were so high that even Xiao Yu'er was completely fooled by her. Even though he knew that she was Xiao Mimi and that she was acting, he would still fall for her tricks.

Secondly...

Who would disagree that Xiao Mimi is one of the ten most notorious villains?

Anyone who dares to object will likely be bombarded with questions from their wives when they get home: "Why did you object?"

Therefore, no man would openly object to her being one of the ten most villainous people, and women would naturally dislike her.

If it were just a typical honey trap, Chu Luren felt that with his temperament, he definitely wouldn't fall for it. However, Xiao Mimi's seductive skills had reached the level of "approaching the Tao," and even Xiao Yu'er couldn't resist them in the original work, so Chu Luren was also more cautious.

Although Chu Luren was confident that with his martial arts skills, even if Xiao Mimi managed to ambush him, she wouldn't be able to cause him any real harm, but...

I thought to myself that I was a young man full of vigor and passion, what if I got taken advantage of?

Even heroes need to protect themselves when they're out there!

Before leaping down, Chu Luren had silently prepared himself mentally—from now on, no matter the scene or the woman he encountered, she would always be Xiao Mimi, a green tea bitch trying to seduce him, and he absolutely could not fall for her!

……

Meanwhile, Lianxing found Tie Xinlan and learned from her whereabouts Xiaoyuer...

Chapter 503 It really was you!

This Bottle Valley is quite large, and the "bottom" of the bottle is also very spacious, giving it a secluded, idyllic feel. However, it's not so peaceful here today...

"You son of a bitch! You son of a bitch! You damn fool!" Chu Luren roared angrily at the monkeys in front of him.

It was discovered that most of the monkeys would still run away in fear when the speaker used Sichuan swear words and made a gesture as if to beat the monkeys—clearly, these monkeys were not isolated from the world!

However, not long after Chu Luren scared away a group of little monkeys, a series of heavy footsteps were heard.

Chu Luren, being a wise man who doesn't fight a losing battle, hid himself first...

A group of small monkeys attracted a giant ape, some of which perched on its shoulders chattering as if they were talking about something.

Similar to the Yeti, these giant apes weren't just one or two individuals, and they seemed to have a connection with these monkeys...

Fortunately, these giant apes didn't have any special sensory abilities, so the Chu deer people still had a place to hide.

Chu Luren used the Returning Void Force to throw one of his heads off, but there were no signs of heavy objects hitting it below, nor was there a corpse, so it was probably not a solid fall.

In general, these giant apes are not as bizarre as the Yeti, nor as resilient, but they are much more intelligent.

After the giant ape left, Chu Luren quietly followed behind, maintaining a distance where he couldn't see the ape in the mist, but could hear its footsteps.

Before long, the sounds of fighting and shouting gradually reached the ears of the Chu Lu people.

Chu Luren hid along the rock face while groping his way towards the source of the sound, and finally saw...

Three martial arts practitioners, whose skills were roughly second or third-rate, were besieging a giant ape, while six other giant apes were watching nearby. One of them was injured. Although they all looked similar, Chu Luren felt that this one was the same one he had fought before!

Including the one that just returned, there are a total of eight giant apes...

At this moment, the other giant apes were just watching the show, sometimes roaring around and sometimes excitedly patting their chests. Only one giant ape that was actually fighting didn't seem to be taking it very seriously.

Meanwhile, further away, the Chu Lu people vaguely saw a huge cave!

Just as Chu Luren was wondering if the cave was related to the underground palace and was about to approach to investigate, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine...

It was as if something in the cave had made eye contact with it!

Before Chu Luren could react, the mist at the cave entrance was suddenly dispersed, and a burst of energy, no weaker than the Dragon Subduing Palm—and even more so, Qiao Feng's Dragon Subduing Palm—surged out of the cave and shot straight toward Chu Luren.

Chu Luren instantly unleashed his full "Return to Nothingness" power. He should have been sent flying like he'd been hit by a truck, but instead, he spun like an ice top being whipped...

Zhenwu!

Although it is not the true martial spirit itself, its strength and the nature of its true qi attack are already on par with the true martial spirit!

After Chu Luren released the force, he still coughed up a small amount of blood—even compared to his elder brother's palm strike, this was a full-force palm strike delivered in extreme rage...

After spinning several 360-degree turns in the air, Chu Luren landed and immediately used his lightness skill to dart off in the opposite direction.

At the same time, the eight giant apes roared and chased after the Chu deer.

At first, Chu Luren fled with all his might, but seeing that his opponent wasn't going that fast, he slowed down as well...

When using his lightness skill to its fullest extent, it would slightly aggravate his internal injuries. However, as he slowed down... Chu Luren used his mind in two ways. A portion of his chaotic true energy transformed into "divine illumination true energy" and exerted the buff effect of the Ice Toad True Energy. Immediately, Chu Luren's internal injuries were already repairing while he was escaping!

If he runs a few more laps, Chu Luren could probably heal this internal injury by running...

But just then, Chu Luren noticed that the giant apes roaring behind him were responding from other directions—clearly, there were more than eight giant apes in the valley!

If it were just eight giant apes, the Chu Lu people wouldn't be unable to handle the situation if the creatures inside the cave didn't come out. However, if there were more, it would be dangerous.

So Chu Luren followed the rock wall and found a crevice that he could barely squeeze into, and hid inside first—fortunately, these giant apes had only so-so perception, and he should not be in their sight at this time!

Sure enough, not long after, the Chu deer-man heard the giant ape's roar gradually fade into the distance...

However, just as Chu Luren was about to wait until the person had gone far away before going out himself, he suddenly heard... the roaring voice became clear again.

Listening more carefully, Chu Luren vaguely heard what sounded like fighting!

Could it be that some expert has come in?

If it were just one person, capable of fighting several giant apes, he would probably... at the very least, be no weaker than Chu Luren.

These giant apes have a limited range of attack methods and are enormous in size. Theoretically, they can only handle three to five at a time. However, once their stamina is exhausted, no matter how many come, it won't make a difference—they can only effectively use their strength against three to five at a time.

Gradually, Chu Luren noticed that the fighting sounds were interspersed with delicate shouts, which immediately made him tense—women!

More dangerous than a monkey!

However, as soon as this thought crossed his mind, Chu Luren himself began to have doubts.

No, Xiao Mimi's martial arts skills couldn't possibly be that high!

Isn't it Xiao Mimi?

No!

We must not let our guard down!

Meanwhile, the person fighting the giant ape also seemed to be gradually trying to withdraw, and began to fight and flee...

The sounds of fighting grew closer and closer, and Chu Luren could make it clearer and clearer—there really was only one person.

Before Chu Luren could think further, a figure in white suddenly disappeared into the crevice in the rock.

If you go further in into this crevice, the space becomes a little larger, but... even if you turn sideways, it's only about one and a half people's width at most.

As soon as the figure in white entered, the scene immediately became... crowded!

Chu Luren tensed up instantly—the last time he was this close to a woman was in the wardrobe of the Song Dynasty palace.

The newcomer was also startled, not expecting there to be another person here. However, they couldn't leave now, as going further in was a dead end, leaving them stuck here!

After also feeling the crowd, the woman in white couldn't help but turn cold.

Meanwhile, Chu Luren...
