Lord of the Star Ocean

In an instant, a sudden change occurred!

No one thought that there was such a powerful guy hidden among the apes, even a high-ranking black iron warrior could not resist with a strong shield, and everyone was shocked.

After bumping into the hunter who was blocking the way, the black shadow suddenly jumped high. It swung its long ape arm and grabbed the astrologer standing in the middle. Its claws, which were as sharp as daggers, shone with a cold light!

The speed of the sneak attacker was extremely fast, and the timing of his choice was excellent. When the top silver warrior was alarmed by the danger, it was too late to stop it, so he could only slap it with a big shield.

But Guru Bai stood still, seeing that the ape claw was about to grab his body, he uttered a word coldly.

"wind!"

The next moment, an invisible air flow rose from the ground, like a tornado, carrying countless mud, dust and fallen leaves, and instantly formed a swirling protective barrier, completely enveloping the two astrologers!

The black shadow slammed into it heavily, but instead of breaking through the wind barrier, it was bounced back by the howling wind.

The bald samurai guarding the side shot down the shield and swung his sword without thinking.

He struck quickly and ruthlessly, the blade of the sword shone with a little thunder, and slashed fiercely at Soi Ying's body!

"ah!"

Accompanied by a scream, this black shadow passed over the heads of several hunters, spilled stinky blood, and landed on the woodland a dozen steps away.

Only then did the hunters see clearly what the attacker looked like.

Its body shape and appearance are basically the same as the ordinary Black Devil Mountain Ape, except that there is a conspicuous bunch of golden hair on its forehead, and its teeth are bared and its expression is ferocious.

Black Ape King!

This is the leader of the ape group, a second-order beast!

It was undoubtedly very cunning, it had been hiding behind and holding back until the time came, and it attacked the astrologer brazenly, apparently believing that the latter was the greatest threat.

The Black Ape King almost succeeded. If Guru Bai hadn't mastered the powerful protective technique of "Wind Barrier", his fragile body would have been pierced by the ape's claws.

The price of failure is that it has a scar with deep bone visible on its body, and blood is gurgling.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Several hunters shot crossbow arrows at the Black Ape King.

The Black Ape King stared at the bald warrior with extremely spiteful eyes, then quickly turned around and rushed into the bushes, disappearing without a trace within a breath.

Along with it disappeared, there were other Black Devil Mountain apes!

"Damn beast!"

The bald warrior spat on the ground angrily, and put away his big sword weapon.

His mission is to protect Guru Bai. He has already made a mistake just now, and he cannot continue to make mistakes—such as chasing and killing the black ape king who has fled.

So he could only helplessly watch this cunning beast run away.

The wild land is the home field of the wild beasts, and they have natural advantages. The powerful star fighters can't do whatever they want, but have to be cautious every step of the way.

"Don't worry about it..."

The aged astrologer did not blame his followers, and said indifferently: "They will not appear again for the time being, let's take a break and continue to set off."

The bald warrior bowed his head and said, "I obey."

It was necessary to rest and recuperate. The encounter was sudden and brutal. The Black Demon Mountain Ape left more than 30 corpses. The expedition team also lost three hunters and injured more than a dozen.

The atmosphere is a bit depressing.

Although the hunters have long been used to death, watching their companions die helplessly is inevitable.

But their professional quality is still there. Xia Houchen commanded the treatment of the wounded and cleaned the battlefield. Those who were free either sat down to rest, or took out dry food and drinks to eat and drink, and seized the time to prepare to start again.

The road ahead will only become more dangerous.

"Thanks…"

Tieshan patted Nie Feng on the shoulder and said, "Thanks to you coming quickly, you saved me again."

Speaking of which, he still has lingering fears. These Black Demon Mountain Apes are really fierce, there are a lot of them, and they are very good at ambushes and siege tactics. If Nie Feng hadn't rescued them in time, he might have fallen into them too.

Nie Feng smiled and said, "Go back and buy a drink."

The friendship between him and Tieshan no longer needs to say many polite words.

When the team rested in place for about two minutes, all the corpses of the Black Demon Mountain Apes were collected and cleaned up, and the wounded were also treated. Fortunately, there were no serious problems, otherwise it would be a problem whether they could continue walking.

This is also thanks to Master Bai, who carries a detoxification elixir, the effect is very good, otherwise the injured hunters would not be able to recover so quickly, the toxin attached to the claws and nails of the Black Demon Mountain Ape is quite powerful.

But the three hunters were buried forever in this dark forest.

Their bodies were buried on the spot, and their weapons, dry food and drinking water were taken away by their companions. It sounds cruel, but this is the law of wild hunters - not to waste any useful resources.

In fact, many hunters died in the wilderness, not even their bones remained.

The team continued to set off, but in the afternoon, the Black Devil Mountain Ape appeared again lingeringly!

They seem to have learned the lesson of the fiasco in the morning, and no longer rushed to fight the hunters in close combat, but took advantage of their good climbing and climbing trees, and kept harassing them with stones from a long distance.

The Black Devil Mountain Apes were flying across the trees, and they could use the vines to move and retreat quickly. Their rogue tactics caused the hunters a lot of headaches, but there was no way to deal with them.

The arms of the Black Demon Mountain Ape are long and powerful, and the stones thrown by it are very powerful within a distance of dozens of steps. It can easily break a tree as thick as a bowl, and even the Xingwu Hunter cannot resist it.

And they ran away after throwing stones, and then found new stones to continue attacking.

The hunters counterattacked with hunting bows and crossbows, but the effect was not good. These cunning Black Devil Mountain Apes kept shifting positions, and they were flexible and quick to react. Ordinary arrows could not hurt them at all.

The only ones who could threaten them and cause casualties were Nie Feng and the girl archer. The latter was also a follower of Master Bai. She possessed a star bow and was skilled in archery.

Master Bai no longer made any moves, and it was all thanks to the protection of the bald man. The reason why the team could continue to move forward, most of the credit should be attributed to Nie Feng and the girl archer, so that the Black Demon Mountain Ape did not dare to be too unscrupulous.

Even so, under the constant harassment of the Black Demon Mountain Ape, the team's forward speed dropped greatly.

Master Bai's order is to keep walking and not stop!

And seeing that the sky is going to be dark, it is still far away from reaching the destination.

A shadow was quietly cast over the hearts of many hunters.
