Chapter 67: Ch 67- Desolate Ape
Right now, Mo Yuan was around eighty kilometers away from Dong Hai Base.
It had taken him nearly an hour to reach this place. He had deliberately not used his maximum speed because the forest was filled with trees, rocks, hills and other obstacles. If he moved at his full speed, he wouldn’t be able to travel in a straight line and would have to constantly change direction.
There was no need to waste energy like that. At this moment, Mo Yuan was searching for a Desolate Ape that lived in this area.
After searching for a while, he finally found one.
Unlike many other beasts, the Desolate Ape didn’t live inside a cave. It was currently lying on the ground, sleeping peacefully.
Mo Yuan slowly approached it.
The moment he entered within seventy meters, information immediately appeared in his mind.
[Beast: Desolate Ape]
[Bloodline Talent: Peak Grade]
[Defense Talent: Superior Grade]
"So, here you were."
Mo Yuan looked at the sleeping beast with interest.
"A Late Level High Grade beast with a Superior Grade Defense Talent."
He smiled.
"So you’re going to be tough to crack."
High Grade beasts were comparable to Origin Soul Realm cultivators in terms of strength.
However, beasts were generally stronger than human cultivators at the same level because of their powerful bodies and natural advantages.
This Desolate Ape didn’t have any offensive talent but its Superior Grade Defense Talent made its physical defense extremely terrifying.
Mo Yuan didn’t underestimate it and he slowly approached the Desolate Ape.
The moment he came close enough, the beast suddenly opened its eyes.
Its enormous body immediately stood up.
"Roar!"
The Desolate Ape let out an angry roar. It had sensed the presence of a human in its territory.
Mo Yuan didn’t waste any more time.
His aura suddenly erupted.
Boom!
A powerful pressure spread through the forest as his Saber Intent flared up around his body.
He gripped his saber tightly.
Peak Grade Strength Talent!
Boundless Saber Art!
Primordial Qi!
Inferior Grade Flame Talent!
All of them were activated at the same time.
A terrifying saber aura instantly gathered around his body.
"Let’s see how strong your defense really is."
Mo Yuan stepped forward and swung his saber. A powerful saber light shot toward the Desolate Ape.
Boom! Boom!
The saber struck the beast’s body.
The ground beneath the Desolate Ape cracked from the impact and dust filled the surrounding area.
Mo Yuan stared at the result.
When the dust slowly disappeared, the Desolate Ape was still standing. There were only several shallow wounds on its body, with a small amount of blood flowing from them.
Mo Yuan’s eyes narrowed.
"Not bad."
He had already used his full strength in that attack. Yet the Desolate Ape had only suffered minor injuries.
"No wonder beasts are generally stronger than human cultivators at the same level."
The Desolate Ape roared again and charged toward him. Its huge fist smashed down but Mo Yuan had disappeared from his position.
Boom!
The fist smashed into the ground, creating a large crater. The Desolate Ape looked around in confusion.
Mo Yuan appeared several meters away.
"If one attack can’t hurt you..."
A smile appeared beneath his mask.
"How about a hundred?"
His Ultimate Grade Speed Talent instantly activated.
Whoosh!
Mo Yuan disappeared.
The Desolate Ape’s pupils contracted. It could no longer clearly see Mo Yuan’s movements.
One saber light suddenly appeared behind it.
Slash!
A wound appeared on its back. Before the Desolate Ape could turn around, Mo Yuan had already disappeared again.
Another saber light flashed from the side.
Slash!
Another wound appeared.
Then another.
And another.
Mo Yuan’s speed was simply too fast.
The Desolate Ape tried to attack him but every time it swung its enormous fist, Mo Yuan had already moved somewhere else.
It couldn’t even touch his clothes.
"Roar!"
"Roar"
The Desolate Ape became furious. It swung its arms wildly and smashed everything around it.
Mo Yuan continued moving through the forest like a ghost. Every time he appeared, his saber would flash.
One slash.
Two slashes.
Ten slashes.
Twenty slashes.
Fifty slashes.
Blood gradually covered the Desolate Ape’s body.
Its powerful defense was indeed terrifying but it couldn’t defend against attacks that came from every direction without giving it any chance to retaliate.
Mo Yuan’s speed was simply too fast. After dozens of rapid attacks, the Desolate Ape’s movements gradually slowed.
"Above you"
Mo Yuan’s figure suddenly appeared directly above the beast.
He raised his saber. All of his strength gathered into the blade.
"Boundless Saber Art!"
Whoosh!
He disappeared again.
In the next instant, a terrifying saber light flashed across the Desolate Ape’s neck.
Puchi!
Blood sprayed into the air. The enormous head of the Desolate Ape fell to the ground. Its huge body also collapsed.
Mo Yuan looked at the corpse and smiled.
"Speed really is troublesome to deal with."
As long as his opponent couldn’t catch him, even an extremely powerful defense couldn’t save them forever.
He put the Desolate Ape’s corpse into his storage space.
"This one should be worth quite a bit of money."
Mo Yuan looked deeper into the wilderness.
"Let’s continue."
His figure flashed.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the forest and for the next four days, Mo Yuan hunted as many beasts as he could find.
High Grade beasts were difficult to locate, so he didn’t waste too much time searching for them. As long as he encountered a beast, he would kill it and store its corpse in his storage space. Four days passed quickly as Mo Yuan continued hunting through the wilderness, leaving countless beast corpses behind in his storage space.
Looking at the huge amount of beast corpses in his storage space, Mo Yuan nodded with satisfaction.
"This much should be enough."
He turned toward the direction of Dong Hai Base.
"Time to go home."
His figure flashed and he quickly disappeared into the wilderness, heading back toward Dong Hai Base.
