Chapter 212: Chapter 181: Little Nannan in Danger

’Success!’

The White Ape, ever cautious, didn’t show its head. Instead, it reached for a sharpened wooden stick lying nearby.

It listened again, pinpointing the location by sound, ready to ’finish the job’.

But suddenly, it froze.

’Hmm?’

The White Ape furrowed its brow, a human-like look of confusion in its eyes. ’From the sounds of it... did the little girl in front of me jump off the giant rock?’

It couldn’t hold back any longer and quickly peeked out from an unusual spot, wanting to see what was going on.

’If it’s a trick, I’ll pull back immediately.’

And then it saw Little Nannan, the military knife still stuck in her arm, leap down into the mist and vanish without a trace.

’Trying to use the mist to escape?’

Recalling the strangeness of the mist, the White Ape grew anxious. It was about to get up when it saw Second Sister-in-law, the man who resembled a brown bear, and the others staring at its feet as they scrambled frantically off the giant rock.

It was as if something terrifying was at its feet.

Something that made them avoid it like the plague.

It looked down.

The White Ape saw a dark object, smaller than its fist.

’Isn’t that the thing the little girl was holding in her other hand?’

’What is this?’

’Run first, think later!’

"!!!"

The next moment, before it could even move, it sensed a mortal threat, and its expression changed drastically.

The White Ape instinctively ducked its head and body, trying its best to hide behind the ’Meat Shield Spirit Ape’.

BANG.

The Hand Grenade exploded.

Violent energy swept out in all directions. Countless fragments, driven by immense kinetic energy, shot out everywhere.

THWIP.

THWIP.

...

The sound of flesh being pierced echoed endlessly.

The dense, incessant sounds were terrifying, making one’s heart pound with fear.

ROAR.

...

Two Spiritual Apes died on the spot, and several more were injured by the blast, shrapnel embedded in their bodies. They all let out piercing shrieks.

Even the giant rock had a huge chunk blasted out of it.

As for the White Ape at the center of the explosion, its feet and lower legs were a mangled mess of flesh and blood. Ghastly white bone was exposed to the air, its skin, fur, and flesh completely blown away.

Looking up its body...

...the ’Meat Shield Spirit Ape’ that had shielded the White Ape’s thighs and upper body was a bloody, gruesome sight, too horrible to look at.

"Uungh... uungh..."

The White Ape’s legs could no longer support its own weight and that of the ’Meat Shield Spirit Ape’. It hastily let go, throwing the corpse aside, and let out a bloodcurdling scream.

SWISH!

Atop the towering ancient tree, Xia Yu and the Monkey King, who were in the middle of their battle, both looked down in shock.

They spared some attention to check on the situation below.

"Ooh ooh ooh!"

The Monkey King’s eyes lit up as it let out a call for help.

The White Ape was the leader of another Spiritual Ape tribe. It had come here wanting to purchase Monkey Brew, but their negotiations hadn’t gone well.

They had parted on bad terms.

Who would have thought it would come back after leaving!

Although the Monkey King didn’t know why the other ape had joined the battle and attacked the humans, it didn’t have time to dwell on it. It just hoped the White Ape could help it.

To that end, it promised to give away half of its tribe’s stock of Monkey Brew.

Unfortunately...

...the White Ape completely ignored it, diving headfirst into the mist at the same spot Little Nannan had entered.

It knew it had to get its hands on the Monkey Brew and take three large gulps. Only then could it quickly heal its injuries and recover seventy percent of its combat strength.

Only then would it have a fighting chance.

Otherwise...

...it would be a sitting duck, waiting to be slaughtered.

"Ooh ooh ooh!"

Seeing this, the Monkey King grew anxious and shouted again, its meaning clear: ’I’ll give you all the Monkey Brew, you just have to help me kill these two humans!’

Unfortunately...

...its ’sincere’ offer was destined to go unanswered.

"Something’s changed."

Xia Yu glanced at the unconscious Xie Shaokun, the struggling Hong She, and the vanished Little Nannan. Her brow furrowed as she gave an order to Little Flower, "Little Flower, end this quickly!"

As she spoke, her attacks grew fiercer.

Little Flower was even willing to trade wounds!

BAM.

BAM.

...

The Monkey King began to panic, unable to hold on.

Its injuries were getting worse and worse.

ROAR.

Left with no other choice, it could only use its tribe’s secret technique on itself.

Instantly.

The Monkey King’s eyes turned crimson, and its body grew by a third.

Its Power and speed also increased by thirty percent.

BAM.

BAM.

With one punch and one kick, it knocked both Xia Yu and Little Flower back.

In the blink of an eye, it had turned the tables and gained the upper hand!

But the next moment...

SWOOSH.

Instead of pressing its attack, it turned and ran.

It was trying to get back to its nest!

"Idiot."

Xia Yu gave Little Flower a new command.

Under normal circumstances, what the Monkey King was doing would be suicide. But right now...
