Chapter 149

The team in front continuously retreated under the attacks of the swarming Ape Ghouls. Hence, Jiang Xiao was sandwiched in the middle.

Li Weiyi and Xia Yan continuously retreated while the Ape Ghouls attacked violently, smas.h.i.+ng themselves against Li Weiyi's s.h.i.+eld with all their might.

Even if the first Ape Ghoul did not wish to advance further, it would continuously be pushed forward by the ones behind. At this juncture, an intense sword battle would be inevitable.

However, when the leading Ape Ghoul punched Li Weiyi's Black s.h.i.+eld, the agitated Ape Ghouls behind it seemed to have suddenly discovered a hole beside them.

The second Ape Ghoul actually discovered that its companion was stuck in the hole beside him.

The large body of the Ape Ghoul was stuck in the hole and the Ape Ghouls swarming in from behind were still pus.h.i.+ng forward.

The Ape Ghoul stuck at the entrance of the cave smashed everything in sight mindlessly and finally rushed in after a long while.

Roar!

“I should kill him myself!” Xia Yan yelled as she pierced the giant sword through the left side of the Black s.h.i.+eld. “Come on, Xiaopi, these guys are too powerful. The Ape Ghoul on Li Weiyi's s.h.i.+eld is now just a corpse. They're pus.h.i.+ng it along and trying to swarm in. If we don't open the rear pa.s.sage, it'll only be a matter of time before we get crushed.”

Jiang Xiao was already smas.h.i.+ng the wall without Xia Yan's reminder!

The continuous loud thuds were the best proof.

Hai Tianqing took over Jiang Xiao's spot and tried his best to resist the Ape Ghouls coming after them, only to see that Jiang Xiao seemed to have become a human excavator…

If there was only one Ape Ghoul, Jiang Xiao would definitely be able to crush and punch it away. However, the Ape Ghouls were continuously pus.h.i.+ng the Ape Ghouls in the pa.s.sageway. The group of Ape Ghouls behind seemed to have already become a wall and Jiang Xiao's Green Glow wasn't too effective at this moment.

Hence, the only solution was to smash the wall!

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The Gold Quality Green Glow was much stronger than the Bra.s.s Quality Green Glow.

Jiang Xiao again transformed into a human excavator and his efficiency was shockingly impressive!

However, the amount of Star Power depleted…

While absorbing the Savage Sorceress' Star Bead, Jiang Xiao continued to excavate maniacally.

The punching even began to sound rhythmic.

Dig, dig.

Dig, dig.

Digging this smooth wall!

At this moment, Jiang Xiao was not fighting alone!

At this moment, Jiang Xiao was possessed by the pile driver and excavator!

Long live the Gold Quality Green Glow!

Bang!

The loud sound thrilled Jiang Xiao.

Because he had… dug through the wall…

Moreover, he had made a huge hole and not a small one!

Jiang Xiao could only see the stones when he launched the previous punch. This time, he could only see the mud.

Isn't this mud too little?

What kind of a d.a.m.ned terrain is this?

As the mud crumbled, the small hole could no longer be covered.

The outside world was extremely beautiful, with white clouds in the blue sky and lush greenery. No traces of Ape Ghouls could be seen at all.

Jiang Xiao grabbed the soil with one hand, popped his head out, and took in some fresh air. He then looked around to see that the tunnel was indeed deep and long. Perhaps, there were still some Ape Ghouls blocking the entrance. However, the Ape Ghouls did not appear here.

After Jiang Xiao absorbed the last Savage Sorceress Star Bead, Nostalgia and Dawn were upgraded to Silver Quality Level 7 in his inner Star Map.

Even though no one was willing to take the risk and move out of the tunnel previously, they now had one more option because the matter had already happened.

“Hurry up and escape!” Jiang Xiao exclaimed as he ran out, while the others hurriedly caught up with him.

It was no longer as simple as a stampede. Once the Ape Ghoul in front met the one at the back, the small team sandwiched in the middle would really be crushed and smashed into bits!

The pet.i.te Jiang Xiao could not stand against the Ape Ghouls' strong bones made of iron.

Bang!

The sudden loud noise caused the team members who had just fled to feel rather taken aback.

Xia Yan turned around abruptly and saw the crumbling mountain as soon as she scurried out.

That huge foot was not made of flesh but Star Power.

With a few toes exposed, the ma.s.sive foot made of Star Power seemed to belong to an ape.

It looked extremely realistic, and even the fur…

Xia Yan looked up the calf that resembled a pillar, only to see a ma.s.sive figure pounding its chest and stomping its feet while whistling in the air.

It was a ma.s.sive Ape Ghoul made of Star Power. There was another Ape Ghoul about the size of two meters covered in Star Power standing at its chest area. Its movements repeated themselves, but it was an actual body made of flesh.

Is this the actual body?

Roar!

Jiang Xiao, who had run into the forest, looked up dumbfounded, and the only thing he could think of at this moment was King Kong.

He thought of a magic King Kong.

It was a ma.s.sive figure that was countless times the size of the Ape Ghoul. Under the Star Power, its fur, strong limbs, and hideous face were all displayed clearly.

Is this the Ape Ghoul King?

Gold Quality Body of Star Power?

That ma.s.sive figure is probably about six meters tall, right?

Even for humans, six meters was a terrifying height. Besides, the ma.s.sive bone structure, size, and strong limbs of the Ape Ghoul King were daunting as well. It raised its arms in the air and smashed down forcefully.

Without a doubt, the small mountain collapsed while the apes wailed and shrieked.

“Is this place really suitable for our training?” Jiang Xiao stomped his feet and cursed. The ma.s.sive Ape Ghoul leaped up and crashed into the forest like a cannonball. It then fell onto the ground in front of everyone.

Its jump was not just high.

It was flying at a low alt.i.tude!

“Xiaopi!” Han Jiangxue exclaimed as her face grew sullen and she extended her arm.

Jiang Xiao, who was in front, was blown backward by the wind beneath his feet.

When a giant palm made of Star Power was swept across, Jiang Xiao was blown up by Barren Wind. He then felt excruciating pain while in the whirlwind, making him feel dumbfounded.

The furry hand that was full of energy seemed realistic, but Jiang Xiao didn't feel terrified at all. Instead, he felt the immense Star Power!

Next, he was smacked away like a fly.

The Ape Ghoul King and Han Jiangxue coordinated rather well…

“Xiaopi!” Han Jiangxue panicked and frantically used Barren Wind again in a bid to blow Jiang Xiao back. However, her body suddenly tilted at the next moment.

Xia Yan grabbed Han Jiangxue's arm and leaped towards the right.

When the two of them dashed away, a pair of giant fists were smashed against the ground forcefully, and the Star Power splashed out. The ground then began to shake and quake together with the Ape Ghouls' howls!

On the other side, Jiang Xiao was smacked away, making giddy and overwhelmed with pain. He hugged his head in pain and immediately released the Blessing Star Technique.

He then plunged into the forest.

“You're really my sister…” Although Jiang Xiao plunged into the forest, the dense trees became natural cus.h.i.+ons that acted as a buffer for him.

However, Jiang Xiao was still rolling around and falling from the branches of the trees.

“Uh…” Jiang Xiao plunged into the ground and placed a hand on his forehead while gritting his teeth in anger.

The pain in his body and the comfort brought by Blessing made Jiang Xiao feel like he was on the verge of despair because he had no idea if he was feeling pain or pleasure.

While being in a daze, Jiang Xiao could hear the sounds of roaring coming from the distance and continuously approaching him.

Jiang Xiao tried his best to prop himself up, after which he shook his head in a bid to wake up and give himself another Bell.

Ring-ring-ring…

Huh?

Ringing sounds?

I'm not alone?

Under normal circ.u.mstances, Bell wouldn't bounce if there were no lives in the surroundings.

Jiang Xiao painstakingly opened his eyes and looked afar in the direction of the ray of medical light that had yet to dissipate, only to see a couple flying over.

Is that… the bald man? And his team member?

There's a bunch of Ape Ghouls howling and chasing them?

The roof was leaking!

Jiang Xiao hurriedly got up, only to feel like his head was heavier than his body. On an unsteady gait, he leaned against the tree by supporting himself with one hand before painstakingly getting up.

Why did that Ape Ghoul slap me here?

Do you think I'm courting death?
