43: Fake helper

"It's him!" Hou Liehu was excited.

It was these stone figures that had helped him kill two Black-haired Zombies on Lingya Mountain back then.

"As expected, they've appeared again. Is it Lu Chen?!" Yun Zhi looked around, but in the chaotic battle, she still couldn't see Lu Chen's figure.

Even if she couldn't see Lu Chen's figure, Yun Zhi remembered these stone figures and was particularly impressed.

Because these stone figures had devoured hundreds of ghosts in front of her, they were incredibly fierce.

Looking again now, these strange stone figures were even fiercer than what she had seen on Lingya Mountain!

"Is it really Lu Chen?!" Yun Zhi couldn't help but feel shocked and suspicious!

The shock was that if these strange stone figures belonged to Lu Chen, then this Lu Chen was simply too terrifying. He was only at the Spirit Transformation mid-stage Realm, yet he could rely on these strange stone figures to fight and kill Xuan Fa Realm monsters. Killing monsters by crossing two major Realms like this was something unheard of, let alone seen.

Especially from beginning to end, Lu Chen didn't even show his face, and the Xuan Fa Realm Demon Monkey had already had its skull cap ripped off. Can monsters be killed like this?

Then what did their desperate fighting and monster slaying, which could cost them their lives at any moment, count for?

Counted as fools!

And the doubt was, did such terrifying strange stone figures really come from Lu Chen?

It was hard to guess, very hard to guess, because up until now, not only Yun Zhi, but even the old Disciples of Doujian Peak in the Xuan Fa Realm, hadn't been able to figure out what those strange stone figures were!

Because it was only with Lu Chen's appearance that Dao Soldiers existed in this world, and before that, there were no Dao Soldiers in this world, so naturally no one could know about them.

People could only guess and speculate based on their existing knowledge, but this was meaningless because Dao Soldiers were beyond their understanding.

"Damn it, damn it! All the monkey descendants of the Vajra Ape Clan listen up, spare no effort, and fully suppress this person at all costs!"

At this moment, all the Demon Monkeys of the Vajra Ape Clan were enraged, abandoning their original opponents and charging towards the Silver Armor Dao Soldiers.

They knew those strange stone figures were not the real culprits, but their anger had to be vented, and the deceased Xuan Fa Realm King Kong Ape also needed an explanation.

"You monsters, do you really think you can overturn the heavens?" An old Disciple of Doujian Peak in the Xuan Fa Realm coldly shouted, trying to stop those rioting Demon Monkeys.

However, these Demon Monkeys of the Vajra Ape Clan were all in a frenzy, their bodies swelled, and their strength surged accordingly. They actually gathered in a short period, charging towards where the Silver Armor Dao Soldiers had disappeared.

Among these Demon Monkeys of the Vajra Ape Clan, there were six in the Xuan Fa Realm, and the rest were all in the Penetrating Aperture Realm, possessing extremely strong power.

Unfortunately, Lu Chen didn't show his head at all, and the Silver Armor Dao Soldiers had already burrowed into the ground, preparing to continue hunting monsters. Why would they care about the enraged King Kong Apes?

"Do you really think hiding underground means our Vajra Ape Clan can't do anything to you?" Six Xuan Fa Realm King Kong Apes roared in anger, and then all burrowed into the ground.

Earth Evasion is not a very profound Spell; human cultivators know it, and monsters do as well.

"Underground is the home ground of the Dao Soldiers; a bunch of Demon Monkeys dare to boast." Lu Chen completely ignored the Vajra Ape Clan that had burrowed underground.

Dao Soldiers are born with control over Earth Element, equivalent to darlings of the earth. How could the Earth Evasion techniques of these Demon Monkeys compare?

They could easily make these Demon Monkeys run in circles.

However, that was the extent of it. Thirty-five Silver Armor Dao Soldiers could surround and kill one Xuan Fa Realm King Kong Ape, and perhaps even two could be attempted. But with six Xuan Fa Realm King Kong Apes, Lu Chen's Silver Armor Dao Soldiers also had to avoid their edge.

"Unfortunately, I don't have time to nurture Golden Armor Dao Soldiers, otherwise these Demon Monkeys would all die underground and become nourishment for my Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin!" Deep underground, Lu Chen looked at the Demon Monkeys angrily scattering beneath the earth, filled with regret.

These were six Xuan Fa Realm monsters, representing the ability to nurture six Golden Armor Dao Soldiers.

For Lu Chen now, this was no less than a windfall. Unfortunately, the bones were too hard; the current Lu Chen couldn't chew through them yet.

"Hmm? Perhaps I can join forces with other Senior apprentice-brothers in the Xuan Fa Realm!" Lu Chen mused.

The advantage of the Sect lies in having many fellow Senior apprentice-brothers; it shouldn't be wasted. He could completely cooperate with other Senior apprentice-brothers, and the efficiency of killing would likely be higher.

With this thought, Lu Chen, using the sight of the Silver Armor Dao Soldiers, began searching for potential partners in the chaotic battle above ground.

"Hmm, the Senior apprentice-brothers fighting in the sky can be disregarded."

Fighting in the sky is not the Dao Soldiers' home ground. Although they can go up, it's not as fast as mobilizing Earth Element on the ground. Fire Element, however, is not affected at all, but with reduced control over Earth Element, their strength naturally decreases somewhat.

Moreover, Dao Soldiers do not possess any magic power. To soar into the sky, they must control Fire Element to stay suspended, which is actually still restricted, not as strong as standing on the ground.

"Fortunately, there are quite a few Xuan Fa Realm Senior apprentice-brothers fighting in this mountain. Hmm? This Body Refinement Senior apprentice-brother is good."

Lu Chen, using the sight of the Dao Soldiers, focused on a burly man who resembled a small giant. It should be due to Body Refinement techniques that this man's figure was about ten feet tall, wearing a black battle armor, holding a large hammer. The hammerhead alone was the size of a water vat, and when swung, it was like thunderous rage. With one strike, even steel bones would fall apart.

Currently, this burly man, who practiced Body Refinement, was fighting a Black-striped Demon Tiger, locked in a fierce battle.

"Senior apprentice-brother, I'll help you eliminate this Demon Tiger. The credit goes to you, and the Monster Corpse goes to me, how about it?" A muffled voice transmission suddenly echoed in the ears of this Body Refinement Senior apprentice-brother, who resembled a small giant.

With a thought, he followed the source of the sound and replied, "Was that Xuan Fa Realm Demon Monkey killed by you just now?"

At this time, all the Disciples of Doujian Peak were fighting desperately. The only one with free time was the mysterious person behind the scenes who had led over thirty stone figures to kill the Xuan Fa Realm Demon Monkey of the Vajra Ape Clan.

"That's right. If I help you, this Demon Tiger can be eliminated instantly." The muffled voice transmission came again.

"If I join forces with you, the Demon Monkeys of the Vajra Ape Clan will probably come looking for me immediately. Don't come and harm me." The Body Refinement Senior apprentice-brother, who resembled a small giant, not only didn't feel relieved but outright refused, fearing he would attract Lu Chen, this plague god.

Because Lu Chen was currently being hunted by the Vajra Ape Clan, if he cooperated with Lu Chen, the Demon Monkeys of the Vajra Ape Clan wouldn't find Lu Chen and would shift their target, focusing on him.

Are you kidding? If all six Xuan Fa Realm Demon Monkeys of the Vajra Ape Clan came to surround and kill him, no matter how strong his Body Refinement physique was, how many nails could he drive in? He would probably be instantly surrounded and killed by the Vajra Ape Clan, turned to ashes!

Lu Chen paused for a moment, but he was always good at persuading and quickly continued, "Killing this Demon Tiger means the death of the Vajra Ape Clan. At that time, you can choose the credit for the six Xuan Fa Realm Demon Monkeys. How many Merit Points are in this? Isn't it worth the risk?"

The Body Refinement Senior apprentice-brother, who resembled a small giant, hesitated and said, "Are you confident you can kill off that Vajra Ape Clan?"

Lu Chen's voice sounded again, "Senior apprentice-brother, don't worry, you're not the only fellow Disciple from Doujian Peak here."

Meaning, I have many other potential partners, plenty of helpers. You just need to be completely at ease.

The Body Refinement Senior apprentice-brother, who resembled a small giant, was immediately tempted. The credit for directly wiping out the Vajra Ape Clan was definitely a great achievement. He would definitely get a lot of Merit Points, not to mention getting them easily.

Little did he know, Lu Chen had no other helpers. This Body Refinement Senior apprentice-brother, who resembled a small giant, was his very first helper!
