Chapter 50

Chu He, who had just been released, was able to avoid some minor disturbances, such as green mosquitoes and flies, but the commotion he caused also attracted the covetous eyes of many large demonic beasts.

Fortunately, Xiao Bai was born with an extraordinary perception, and Chu He managed to evade several waves of attacks on his way. Among them were tigers and leopards with wings, as well as a three-headed toad.

The most troublesome was the strange toad. The green-black venom it spat was extremely potent. The golden smoke from the Purification Light only withstood one hit before dissipating, which frightened Chu He into quickly casting a mid-grade Earth Spike Spell, forming an earth cage to temporarily trap it and escape.

Chu He flew at full speed, but he was unaware that a terrifying four-armed demon monkey was following him. Fortunately, the distance had not been closed.

Although the fifth-level ferocious beast followed all the way, it lost its direction when it reached the place where Chu He fought the three-headed toad, unsure of where to go.

The four-armed demon monkey had devoured many demon hunters who entered the Green Miasma Swamp, and it had long been attentive to the smell of the golden smoke. So, as soon as it caught the scent, it eagerly followed, hoping for a delicious meal.

The flesh of cultivators was not only delicious and far superior to the many creatures in the Green Miasma Swamp, but eating it also added considerable strength. Even with its low intelligence, it knew that consuming such delicacies would make it stronger.

For a demonic beast like it, whose intelligence was just beginning to develop, the desire for power far outweighed other desires. Losing its target, it pounded the ground with its four arms in frustration. The swampy ground was soft, and its powerful force created a large pit several dozen feet around, with soil flying like arrows, a display of strength that was truly astonishing.

"Chh chh!" Suddenly, some of the splattered soil touched something, emitting a strange sound.

Despite its large size, the four-armed demon monkey had extremely sensitive senses. In an instant, it leaped to the side.

"Chh chh!" A patch of green-black liquid splashed where it had been standing, corroding the soil and releasing a large amount of green smoke.

It was startled to see a large opening in an earth cage several dozen feet away, from which a three-headed toad was crawling out.

Upon seeing this creature, it immediately ran away at full speed, not even daring to look back.

One creature can counter another. Although the four-armed demon monkey was not afraid of ordinary poisons in the swamp and even ate them, this three-headed toad, though one level lower, was one of the few that could threaten its life.

It ran for several miles before calming down and checking if the toad was following.

It still remembered how, when it was not fully grown, it was almost killed by a two-headed toad. Even though it survived, the days of being tormented by the venom were deeply etched in its soul, which is why it was so frightened at the sight of the toad.

Just as it was feeling relieved, a familiar fragrance entered its nose, invigorating it: Finally, I've found you again!

***

The closer Chu He got to his destination, the more various poisonous creatures appeared, making it almost impossible to guard against them, leaving him extremely embarrassed. Not only did the Purification Light dissipate, but his magic robe was also torn in several places. Fortunately, the talisman armor and Xiao Bai were effective, preventing him from being injured.

Some cunning demonic creatures followed from a distance, waiting for the right moment. Chu He did not dare to slow down his speed and could only take the risk of continuing to advance urgently.

In the end, Chu He reluctantly increased the height of his Flying Cloud Leap, breaking through the Green Miasma, risking the danger of being discovered by the Poison Fire Hawks, in order to shake off the pursuers below.

Breaking through the Green Miasma, a mountain range resembling a reclining ox appeared not far away, about several dozen miles long.

The Ox-Back Mountain!

Chu He's courage grew, and he fully unleashed the power of the Flying Cloud Leap, preparing several mid-grade spell talismans in his hand, ready to kill any Poison Fire Hawks that appeared.

Perhaps it was luck, but until Chu He landed at the foot of the mountain, he did not encounter a single Poison Fire Hawk, only a few Golden Sparrows that harassed him.

The place where Chu He landed was on the south side of the Ox-Back Mountain, where there were many tall trees, unlike the sparse vegetation in the swamp.

According to what Old Guo said, this should be the place.

Here, the Green Miasma had become much thinner, and a slight warmth could be felt, a stark contrast to the previous cold. Only a volcanic vent could have the energy to warm a certain area in the Demon Cloud Mountains.

After confirming that there were no other demonic creatures lurking nearby, and that Xiao Bai was not affected by the miasma, Chu He relaxed his tense spirit.

"Roar!" A startling beast roar suddenly erupted, making Chu He's heart leap.

The source of the sound was several miles away, but the fighting vibrations were rapidly approaching.

With the miasma thinner, Chu He's vision could extend much further. On the Flying Cloud Leap, he could see up to two miles away.

The battle there was extremely intense, with "thunderous" sounds continuing and rapidly moving. Even trees that required several people to encircle were as fragile as cut leeks under the spells.

Getting closer, he could see two cultivators fighting a humanoid demonic creature. The demonic creature was several times larger than a human, extremely muscular. Wait, this demonic creature actually had four arms.

The four-armed demon monkey!

Chu He, who had done his homework, almost shouted out: a fifth-level demonic beast, truly a disaster from the sky!

The two cultivators were likely experts at the Xiantian stage, but even with two against one, they were still at a disadvantage, fighting while retreating.

Without saying, if these two did not have magical treasures or treasure-grade weapons, they would have little chance of escaping.

In just two breaths, the battle between the two humans and the beast had moved half a mile away, and Chu He could see the faces of the two cultivators clearly.

When he saw that one of the cultivators was wearing a felt hat and looked somewhat familiar, Chu He's heart skipped a beat. Although he had only seen him once, cultivators have excellent memory, and Chu He quickly recalled the relevant memories.

Damn bastard, you have this day too, truly the heavens have eyes! Chu He gritted his teeth, having nothing good to say to this enemy who had tried to kill him.

Chu He slowly drove the Flying Cloud Leap to hide behind, watching the tiger fight was good, but putting himself in danger was not wise.

At this moment, the battle situation suddenly changed. The two cultivators triggered something, and a black iron chain temporarily locked the four-armed demon monkey. They took the opportunity to fly away with their magical treasures.

A fifth-level four-armed demon monkey could not step on the void, so if the two could fly high enough, they had a chance to escape.

However, the abilities of a fifth-level demonic beast were not simple. It exerted its four arms, breaking the high-quality iron chain in an instant, and then opened its mouth and roared.

"Whoosh!" A gray qi ball flew out of its mouth, reaching the two before they could react, exploding in mid-air.

The demon monkey's calculation was extremely precise. The two were only focused on flying away and had not yet separated to escape. The qi ball exploded between them, the powerful energy easily knocking them off balance.

"Bang!" At some point, the four-armed demon monkey had already flown over, and its two arms under its ribs each threw a punch at the tall and thin cultivator's spell light.

This punch gathered about 70-80% of the four-armed demon monkey's strength, immediately knocking the tall and thin cultivator down like a meteor falling from the sky, hitting the ground with a loud "bang," as if several high-grade explosive fire talismans had exploded, sending soil and sand flying.

The felt-hat cultivator had intended to escape while the demon monkey attacked the tall and thin cultivator, but the demon monkey did not ignore him. It pressed down with its remaining two arms, a powerful force from a distance forcefully pressing him down.

Too fierce, one against two, yet handling it with ease. The power of a fifth-level demonic beast deeply shocked Chu He, further solidifying his resolve to leave this place quickly.
