Chapter 3, The Baboon Demon

Whether it is the Gray Eagle, the Flying Arrow, or the Remote, they all seem to lack formal and systematic training, resembling more the wild hunters who have grown up in the forest since childhood

Just as he was deep in thought, the gray eagle suddenly charged over, grabbing Huang Quan by the collar, lifting him up, shaking him vigorously, and roaring: "If you are a man, leave on your own! Don't make her carry you. If you don't leave, I will kill you right now!"

The young girl sat there, momentarily blank-minded, not daring to move at all

The giant ape slightly opened its eyes and let out a loud snort. The girl, her nerves taut, flinched and was about to turn and flee when the giant ape's eyelids drooped down, as if overwhelmed, completely closing.

She wanted to lift the giant ape, but at that moment, she was powerless; how could she manage to do it? It was only with the help of the flying arrows and the gray eagle that the giant ape was turned over.

However, just as she was about to reach the summit, she suddenly slipped and began to fall. In a moment of crisis, she extended her hands and grasped the rocks at the edge of the cliff, preventing herself from falling.

At this moment, the Arrow and the Gray Eagle finally struggled to their feet, gripping their weapons as they closed in, gazing at the giant ape, momentarily hesitant to act recklessly

The Gray Eagle and the Flying Arrow each reached out, one person grasping one of Yao's hands, and together they pulled her up to the top of the cliff

The girl's strides are quite large; with a single lift of her leg, she can cover several meters, and when faced with an obstacle two to three meters high, she simply leaps over it

"At worst, we die together!"

Its enormous eyes fixed on the three individuals, and in an instant, they were filled with bloodshot veins. Suddenly, a roar erupted, and it swung its palm down!

In a short period of time, in a subtropical rainforest environment, the three individuals have already run ten kilometers, with Yao still carrying Huangquan the entire way.

A look of concern flashed in Fei Jian's eyes as he said, "Let me carry him."

The girl and the flying arrow helped Huang Quan up, while the gray eagle went to inspect the corpse of the giant ape

Huang Quan lay on the ground, his face pale; if he delayed any longer, he might be severely injured. The young girl had both of her hunting knives plunged into the giant ape, buried to the hilt. The short knife was pinned in the red fur of its neck, while the long knife was thrust into its heart.

He drew out two hunting knives, examined the distribution of bloodstains on the blades, then licked the tips of the knives, his face flashing with shock and confusion. He returned the hunting knife to the girl and said, "Just happened to strike the vital point"

It is too late to escape; a massive shadow leaped from one ancient tree to another, rushing towards them with astonishing speed. In its final leap, it covered several dozen meters, crashing down before the three like a small mountain, shaking the very ground beneath them.

After a moment, the archer drew an arrow and prodded the giant ape with it. Seeing that the giant ape remained completely still, he was finally convinced that it was dead

Yao flicked her hair, damp with sweat, and said: "Of course!"

Huang Quan's face was pale as he said, "Good luck"

The gray eagle turned its head and roared: "It is all because of that bastard that the baboon demon was attracted here!"

Alright, then let's go

However, the giant ape did not move; it merely continued to breathe heavily and slowly closed its eyes

The three of them walked outside, and Huang Quan turned back to take another look at the house where he had been recuperating.

The giant ape, in pain, swung its arms, producing two loud thuds, sending the gray eagle and the flying arrow crashing backward, forcefully striking against a tree and falling to the ground, unable to rise.

She reluctantly turned her head and saw Huang Quan soaring into the air, colliding with the giant ape in midair

The wind howled through the giant trees, shaking the long grass and causing many small animals hiding in the underbrush to panic and scatter in all directions. Along with the foul stench of decaying soil, there was also an indescribable sense of desolation in the air

The distance was so short that she could feel the foul, hot breath emanating from the nostrils of the giant ape; that colossal creature could easily grasp her in its palm with just a stretch of its hand

The roof is covered with grass leaves, and vines and branches are bundled to form walls. Almost blending into the surrounding environment amidst the two-meter-high weeds, it is difficult to distinguish it from the natural area of fallen branches and leaves from a distance.

At that moment, the wind suddenly picked up

In the eyes of Huang Quan, due to the process aided by rock climbing, the variations in the flying arrow technique are actually more numerous, providing greater options for both offense and defense. In terms of martial arts, it is indeed superior to the Gray Eagle.

At that moment, she was suddenly pushed by someone, and her entire body felt as if it had lost its weight, floating away lightly. At the same time, she felt a lightness in her hands as two hunting knives were simultaneously taken from her.

From the perspective of the underworld, it is believed that the concealment level of this small house is quite high, yet it is unknown why the three individuals chose to abandon this stronghold

On the other hand, their running and exertion techniques are quite rough, and there are no signs of secret method cultivation. Even with comparable physical fitness, an elite soldier from the Imperial Guard could easily take down all three of them

The young girl hesitated a bit, and the flying arrow said: "We need to return to the camp quickly"

Can you do it

She set down the burden of the underworld, gasping for breath, with sweat dripping from her full forehead. After running for so long, and carrying someone on her back, it was evident that she was extremely exhausted

The arrow dragged the gray eagle away and said, "He has been out for too long. We must hurry back, otherwise, he might truly lose control of himself"

The gray eagle dares to come this close; killing him would be but a matter of an instant, and taking a life does not require much effort

The giant ape seems particularly interested in the distant target, leaping through the air with its massive jaws wide open, drool continuously dripping from its sharp fangs

At this moment, the arrow urged, "We have already stayed here too long; if we do not leave soon, we will encounter trouble"

Yao finally nodded

A look of despair flashed across the girl's face as she tightly gripped the short knife in her hand. Despite knowing it was futile, she refused to give up the fight.

Reaching out for the hunting knife, she wiped the blood off the blade and sheathed it. She glanced at the corpse of the giant ape, then looked towards the underworld, and asked, "Did you kill this?"

The faces of the three people all changed, and Fei Jian shouted at Yao, "Run quickly!"

The arrow was shot from a small tree extending from the low cliff, leveraging the force to ascend to the top of the cliff. Although it was not as astonishing as the gray eagle, the movement was crisp and agile, and the speed of climbing the cliff was no slower than that of the gray eagle

The eyes of the underworld are icy, and a barely perceptible killing intent flashes deep in the pupils. He indeed lacks strength now and cannot keep up with the pace of the three, but that does not mean he can be humiliated.

At this moment, the three individuals displayed extraordinary agility. They each dodged and distanced themselves, while Yao dragged Huang Quan to avoid the attack together. Grey Hawk and Flying Arrow roared angrily and pounced on the giant ape from both sides. However, their hunting knives only penetrated halfway, perhaps just scratching the surface for the giant ape.

"Feyao!" A cry of astonishment rang out like an arrow, filled with despair.

The third girl arrived, her speed not only maintained but increased, as she charged straight towards the low cliff. With a light shout, she dashed up the cliff, her feet striking the rocks several times in quick succession, and in the blink of an eye, she reached the top of the cliff

The girl had a look of panic on her face, yet she stubbornly shook her head

Although the three of them had a somewhat unpleasant experience just now, it appears that they have clearly defined roles and are cooperating quite harmoniously.

The vibration of the rocks caused the distant figure, who was already unsteady on her feet, to fall to the ground. When she got up, she was only a few meters away from the giant ape.

Their strength, agility, speed, and sense of balance are quite remarkable. If this were during the imperial era, the physical fitness of the three would have been strong enough for them to directly join the Imperial Guard, and with a little training, they would become elite warriors

Standing in front of the three people is a giant beast that is as tall as three meters and resembles a giant ape, but its snout protrudes like that of a wolf, revealing sharp teeth. A circle of crimson hair around its neck is particularly striking.

The gray eagle soared ahead, rushing towards the direction illuminated by the sunlight. The young girl followed closely behind; despite carrying a person, her speed remained undiminished. Meanwhile, the flying arrow darted around the girl, vigilantly observing the surroundings.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them arrived at the edge of a low cliff, which was more than ten meters high. The gray eagle leaped up, spread its arms, and slowly ascended, just like an eagle flying up the cliff.

At this moment, an arrow from behind embraced the Grey Hawk, while Yao knocked off the Grey Hawk's hand, supporting Huangquan, and angrily said, "Are you crazy!"

Although Huangquan was born tall and big, he was as thin as a paper man in front of the giant ape. The giant ape in the flying pounce seemed to have no sense of his existence, and fell directly in the trembling of the earth, completely pressing down Huangquan.

Three people looked at each other and all felt a sense of narrowly escaping death. In an instant, their bodies went weak and they could hardly stand.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to him from a distance, and he exclaimed, "That person is still down there!"

Not until a large amount of fresh blood flowed from under the giant ape did the girl react. She trembled as she crawled up, stayed still for a while, and then approached the giant ape cautiously, reaching out to shake in front of it.
