10: Chapter 10 The Eight-Armed Fiery Monkey!

It was night.

...

[Heavenly Vault Vigor upgraded to Stage Six!]

It's coming!

It's finally here!

Ye Qing looked outside as the sun rose. Then, a light screen popped up in front of him again.

[Weapon Spirit pregnancy detected. Rewarding Dragon-Tiger Spirit skill!]

This!

I suspect you're making a dirty joke, but I have no evidence.

In the next moment, Ye Qing felt refreshed and invigorated.

"Hubby, I'm going to sleep now."

Zhou Lingxue dropped those words, turned around, and fell into a deep sleep.

Fine, forget it for now. Ye Qing could only let it go.

Daytime.

Ye Qing pulled Zhou Lingxue directly out of the Barrier.

Familiarity breeds comfort; experiencing the scent of blood outside again, Zhou Lingxue no longer felt like she did yesterday. In fact, she felt a slight hint of excitement.

The two of them immediately headed deep into the jungle!

A moment later.

They reached a location deeper than where they were yesterday.

Ye Qing placed his hand on Zhou Lingxue's collarbone.

Swoosh!

A beam of light shot out, and then the yitian sword landed in Ye Qing's hand.

Ye Qing tapped his foot, his body soaring upward to land on a thick tree trunk.

Then.

He leaped from tree to tree, heading into the distance.

At the same time, he kept his eyes and ears sharp. With the support of his God-Tier Hunting Skill, Ye Qing moved through the jungle like a ghost, lurking in the shadows.

Searching for prey!

...

Deep in the jungle.

Crack!

The sound of bones snapping rang out. A Rank 3 Iron-Armored Black-Bristled Pig lay there, its breath already gone.

Its flesh was being torn apart.

Three early Rank 4 Seven-Colored Glazed Leopards were crouched there.

Enjoying their meal.

Roar! Roar!

The Seven-Colored Glazed Leopards let out occasional snarls, as if warning other exotic beasts that smelled the blood not to approach!

Rustle!

In the air, the sound of leaves rubbing together echoed.

One Seven-Colored Glazed Leopard immediately stopped its movements and looked toward the sky, its eyes filled with vigilance. However, after scanning the area, it found nothing unusual.

It went back to enjoying its food.

The moment it lowered its head.

Puchi!

A sharp sword pierced directly into its head!

Like a knife cutting through tofu!

It sank in up to the hilt!

Whoosh!

In an instant, the other Seven-Colored Glazed Leopards were startled!

In the next moment!

Ye Qing crouched low and kicked out with one foot!

He pushed his Stage Six Heavenly Vault Vigor to its limit!

Thud!

A single kick, carrying immense power, slammed directly into the Seven-Colored Glazed Leopard next to him.

Crack!

The sound of bones shattering rang out!

Whoosh!

Instantly!

The Seven-Colored Glazed Leopard went flying backward, accompanied by the sound of breaking wind!

Thud!

Thud!

It only came to a halt after smashing through two giant trees!

However, it had already been beaten senseless!

It tried to stand up shakily, but on its leg, bone fragments had pierced through the flesh!

Roar!

Feeling the intense pain, the Seven-Colored Glazed Leopard immediately began to howl.

On the other side, the remaining leopard stared at Ye Qing, panic filling its eyes.

As a Rank 4 exotic beast, it naturally understood the current situation.

Immediately, it headed toward the trees, preparing to find a way to survive!

Swoosh!

Just as it was about to spring upward, the sound of breaking wind arrived!

The Seven-Colored Glazed Leopard turned its head, and in its eyes, a sharp sword came shooting toward it.

Puchi!

The sharp sword nailed into its flank!

The Seven-Colored Glazed Leopard didn't have time to react; its body was still lunging upward!

In an instant, its abdomen was sliced open. Internal organs and intestines mixed with blood spilled out—it was a truly miserable sight.

Ye Qing walked over. Smelling the heavy scent of blood, he frowned, then quickly pulled out the yitian sword and gave it a shake.

Then, he headed toward the last Seven-Colored Glazed Leopard.

"Forget it, I'll give you a quick death!"

Ye Qing reached it, raised his hand, and the sword fell. A large head immediately flew into the air.

He collected three Rank 4 exotic beast crystal cores.

Absorb!

An even more surging energy rushed into his body!

Thud!

A muffled sound rose from within Ye Qing's body once again.

Then, a light screen popped up in front of Ye Qing.

[Congratulations Host on obtaining a check-in opportunity. Would you like to check in now?]

Oh?

A check-in opportunity?

Check in!

[Check-in successful. Congratulations Host on obtaining five god-level control pills!]

god-level control pills?

Ye Qing looked at the description of this item. It could control a Spirit Master or Weapon Spirit below Rank 6 for seven days!

Tch!

What use is this!

If he held the yitian sword to an enemy's throat right now, he could achieve the same effect!

As expected, items from check-ins were far inferior compared to Contracts and Deep Contracts.

However, Ye Qing realized that his optimal solution was someone like Zhou Lingxue.

Weapon Spirits like her were probably extremely rare.

But then again, maybe not. After all, Zhou Lingxue's initial transformation was so weak likely because her Ultimate Ancestral Return was too powerful and thus suppressed.

Other supreme Weapon Spirits might also be in this situation.

I won't think about it for now.

Ye Qing immediately pulled up his information.

[Name: Ye Qing]

[Spirit Master Rank: Early Rank 4]

[Contracted Weapon Spirit: f-rank tetanus blade (First Ancestral Return: yitian sword)]

[Skills: God-Tier Hunting Skill, Heavenly Vault Vigor Stage 6, Rapid Crystal Core Absorption Skill, Dragon-Tiger Spirit]

[Items: 5 god-level control pills]

Ye Qing looked at the corpses of these Seven-Colored Glazed Leopards and felt a bit of regret.

These were considered a fortune, but now, sigh!

As Ye Qing was thinking, he heard the ground making thudding sounds.

Then, the ground where he was began to vibrate.

With a tap of his foot, Ye Qing soared upward!

He then stepped onto a tree branch.

Sword on his back.

He pressed himself close to the tree.

Rumble!

The sound of trampling feet grew closer!

Ye Qing poked his head out and saw a group of Iron-Armored Black-Bristled Pigs running toward him!

That speed—it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were running for their lives!

What's wrong with these guys?

Ye Qing wondered to himself. These creatures were thick-skinned, fleshy, and highly reproductive; usually, they were the ones bullying others. Why were they in such a state today?

It seemed they were afraid of something!

Ye Qing thought as he remained still!

But!

In the next moment!

Not far away!

The cry of a monkey approached from a distance!

Then, not far from Ye Qing, a pure white figure flashed past!

Ye Qing's eyes narrowed!

He stared at that pure white figure!

The figure was a giant ape!

However, compared to the Silver-Backed Giant Ape from before, it wasn't as bulky, yet it appeared extremely eerie!

Its body was snow-white, but its face was red as blood!

On its sides and back, it had eight arms!

Combined with its height...

It was as if an Eight-Armed Vajra from a temple had come to life!

Eight-Armed Fiery Monkey!

Early Rank 5!
