135: Chapter 137 Selfless Risk, Forced Evolution!

After hearing Xiao Wu's introduction, the Demon Ape took the items Lin Kuang gave it, climbed up a tree, and began to taste them!

The Demon Ape took a small bite, and a look of joy instantly appeared on its face as it began to devour the food ravenously.

These things weren't exactly a delicacy for Spirit Pets because they had long since grown tired of eating them! But for a wild Spirit Beast, this was practically a gourmet feast.

If you think about it, a wild Spirit Beast might track prey for several days to hunt for food, consuming physical strength without any guarantee of success; if they failed, they would have to go hungry for several more days!

This kind of thing was simply top-tier to them! Crucially, eating it could also recover injuries, as some recovery herbs are added to Spirit Beast Pills during the refining process.

[Ding! Mission Triggered — Prevent The Bandit Duo from interfering with the Demon Ape's abnormal evolution]

[Mission Reward: Obtain Fire Demon Ore, which can be used to strengthen the blazing fire sword. After multiple enhancements, there is a probability it will become the God of War blazing fire sword]

Hmm? Are those guys not dead yet? That's truly ridiculous!

Ah! Lin Kuang suddenly felt a surge of pressure again, and he painfully pinched his own thigh.

Xia... Sister Xia Qianzhen, please don't!

Xia Qianzhen was currently hugging a doll of Lin Kuang!

...

At this moment, The Bandit Duo was observing Lin Kuang and the others from a distant hillside; they had both broken through to the Third Realm!

“Why is his eagle so big?” Hong Mo sighed from the bottom of his heart, even licking his lips!

“We'll ambush them in a bit! Sooner or later, all his Magic Treasures will be ours! Then we'll hand him over to the Boss; the Boss has been salivating over Fairy Pei for a long time!”

“Hahaha! Simply perfect!”

“But we don't have much strength left! I haven't eaten in so long!” Hong Mo's stomach was already growling.

“Bastard! Don't sit up!” Blue Shark saw Hong Mo clutching his stomach and pushed his head down!

“What are you getting excited for? Do you know we were almost discovered?” Blue Shark said with a hint of anger.

“I...”

Blue Shark already had a plan to make money.

“The Piaomiao Sect's perfume is famous throughout the continent. When the time comes, we'll steal it and resell it! Wouldn't that make us successful scalpers?”

“Sigh! Brother Blue, as expected of you, you're a damn Genius! But how do we get in?”

“You don't need to worry about that! I have my ways!”

Blue Shark and his partner didn't rush out immediately to interfere with the Demon Ape's evolution; instead, they changed their target. After all, even if Lin Kuang was a Disciple of the Sword Sect, his Magic Treasures certainly wouldn't be as profitable as perfume, given that the spending habits of female Cultivators were quite insane.

Some would even sell their own bodies for a single piece of clothing! For instance, the Great Cultivator Xie Hua of the Hehuan Sect—it's said that when she was young, she sold her body to various Cultivators for over 30,000 days just for the sake of vanity.

What does that mean? She is only 200 years old now, which means she spent half her life selling herself!

Female Cultivators are strange; for a bit of vanity, they don't even consider the cost. If not for Xie Hua's good luck, she would have long since become a Cauldron! Actually, she basically is one, just with her own consciousness.

Without any interruptions, the Demon Ape finished tasting the items Lin Kuang brought, and its favorability toward him increased significantly.

Looking at the Demon Ape wagging its tail at him, Lin Kuang scanned the surroundings with his Divine Sense. Seeing no sign of The Bandit Duo, he prepared to subdue it.

“How is it? Demon Ape, tastes good, right?” Xiao Wu appeared in front of it and asked.

Roar~ Roar~

The Demon Ape jumped up and beat its chest frantically, expressing that it was very happy.

“Then do you want to follow my Master? From now on, you won't have to sleep in the wild or endure the elements! More importantly, you won't have to hunt to have delicious food!”

Ji ji ji...

The Demon Ape walked around Lin Kuang a few times, then extended a fist toward him!

“What does this mean?”

“It means, Master, if you defeat it, it will go with you!”

Lin Kuang didn't expect it to turn into a duel for subjugation, but since the other party proposed it, there shouldn't be any issues with interference!

“Fine! You want to fight me! Then let's do it!”

“Little Green Demon, go spar with it!” To prevent the opponent from entering a berserk evolution, Lin Kuang had the Little Green Demon, the weakest of the three little ones, duel the Demon Ape.

Its cultivation was much lower than the Demon Ape's, but the Demon Ape was fire-attributed! Little Green Demon was of the ghost element, so the opponent's physical attacks couldn't cause it any damage.

This way, there was no risk of provoking it!

Roar— Roar—

The Demon Ape exhausted all its strength but was unable to cause any damage. After completely draining the opponent's Qi, Little Green Demon fired a Shadow Ball.

After taking over a dozen Shadow Balls point-blank, the Demon Ape could no longer hold on and collapsed!

[Little Green Demon: first realm Peak — second realm Early Stage]

The defeated Demon Ape did not go berserk; instead, it quietly waited for Lin Kuang to subdue it.

[Demon Ape]

[Species Value: 320]

[Cultivation: second realm Middle Stage]

[Potential: Heavenly King Grade]

[Trait: Never Give Up — After being injured, attack power increases significantly.]

[Protect Master: After the Master takes damage, there is a very high probability of entering a Blood-Fury Berserk state, ignoring everything to avenge the Master or desperately buying time for the Master to recover.]

Is the potential this high? As expected, nothing following the System is weak! Moreover, this trait is of great help to me.

This is basically a death soldier! This gives me much more room for error!

However, the Demon Ape's body was faintly emitting a red light; it was likely approaching the time for evolution! Spirit Pet evolution is different from Cultivators; it relies entirely on luck and talent. With good luck and high talent, they evolve early!

After evolution, even if the cultivation level remains the same, the pressure they emit is more than just a little bit higher than before evolution!

Lin Kuang was very greedy, the type who wanted everything!

[Ding — Mission Completed: Obtained Low-Grade Spirit Beast Pill × 15 and Calm and Collected passive]

Sigh, it just so happens that a Spirit Beast's evolution requires a large amount of Qi; I'll give all these Spirit Beast Pills to it.

As soon as the Spirit Beast Pills arrived, Lin Kuang gave them all to the Demon Ape, and the Demon Ape swallowed them all in one gulp.

Surrounded by red light, a crimson rock protruded from the Demon Ape's back, and rock armor appeared on its arms. The Demon Ape successfully evolved into a Red Rock Demon Ape!

[Red Rock Demon Ape]

[Species Value: 435]

[Cultivation: second realm Peak]

[Potential: Heavenly King Grade]

[Trait Obtained: Raging Fire — When suffering from a severe negative effect, the Red Rock Demon Ape enters a Raging Fire state, clearing the negative effect and significantly increasing combat power; other traits remain unchanged.]

My god! Isn't this a cleanse effect? Obtaining a cleanse through evolution is truly ridiculous; this ability is amazing! It clears negative states and even boosts attack power.

Simply put, if used well, it can directly absorb the opponent's strongest control skill!

Moreover, the Red Rock Demon Ape was over a meter taller than before, and its muscles were even fuller! It looked full of power!

“Sigh! Lin Kuang, how is your luck so good? It evolved right after you subdued it! I'm so jealous!” Yu Xiaotang was very curious after seeing the Demon Ape evolve.

She prepared to walk over to investigate, but she suddenly stopped, looking very dissatisfied.
