It was a matter of urgency!
Two months was an incredibly short period of time for Su Ming. There was a high possibility that one epiphany would naturally pass by, and he might not even have enough time to isolate himself for training.
Besides, it was not two months. More accurately speaking, it was around one and a half months.
The entire Freezing Sky Clan was in a state of silence before the storm. This did not mean that the people were quiet, but it was a state of mind, a feeling.
All those who wanted to join Sky Mist Shaman Hunt were making their final preparations. Perhaps they were looking forward to shocking the world in one go, or perhaps they were looking forward to dying in a foreign land.
The Great Battle of the Berserkers and Shamans that happened once every hundred years would usually cause Sky Mist to be drenched in blood …
Once he returned to the ninth summit, Su Ming made his decision. Before Sky Mist Shaman Hunt, he would not leave the ninth summit. He would use this final period of time to make his final preparations.
He had too many things he needed to do.
He Feng's fusion had reached a critical moment. This was the final metamorphosis. Once he succeeded, He Feng would become Su Ming's powerful guard during Sky Mist Shaman Hunt.
There was also the matter of creating Spirit Plunder. Now that he had enough materials, Su Ming needed the aura of death to create Spirit Plunder. Once he had enough, he would be ready for the battle in the land of the Shamans.
Besides that, he also needed to study the Barren Cauldron he obtained. After all, if he did not open it, he could not use it to create other medicinal pills. The battle of Sky Mist would last for several years or even longer, that was why he needed to prepare a large amount of medicinal pills, or else if anything happened, it would be fatal.
There was also the matter of Su Ming's own power. The Divine General Armor required him to spend more time making the black mist form the Rune so that it would become sturdier.
The second Style of Picture Creation and the explosive speed of the Golden Roc would also require Su Ming to refine his body even more. Only by doing so would he be able to withstand an even faster speed.
There was also the chance Su Ming could sense for himself to break through from the later stage of the Transcendence Realm to the great completion of the Transcendence Realm. He needed to retrieve the xun that was sent to be repaired and play the song from Dark Mountain so that he could attain completion in the Transcendence Realm.
Su Ming had to make all these preparations. As for Si Ma Xin, he no longer had the time to pay attention to him. The instant he failed to Plant the Berserker Seed in him, he lost his courage to fight against Su Ming head on.
'Bai Su …' Su Ming sat cross-legged on the stone platform outside his cave abode, and Bai Su's figure appeared in his head. That figure gradually faded away in his head until it disappeared.
Once he calmed himself down, Su Ming brought out a small white bag from his bosom as the moon hung high in the sky. As he looked at the bag, grief appeared on his face.
That grief ran deep, and it was usually hidden in the depths of Su Ming's heart. It would only show itself during rare occasions, and every single time it showed itself, it would be enough to make the scar on Su Ming's face look red.
After a long while, Su Ming patted the bag gently. Immediately, a layer of fog spread out from within the bag, and the sounds of metal chains clanking came from within. At the same time, a dark red figure charged out at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye.
Dozens of feet away from Su Ming, the dark red figure came to an abrupt halt and revealed itself. It was naturally the Fire Ape. It was crouching on the ground and glaring at Su Ming. There was hatred and loathing in its eyes, along with a strong sense of arrogance and defiance.
Su Ming could see the pride in the ape's heart and the hatred towards all living beings in its eyes. Clearly, it had gone through an endless amount of torment in the hands of the boy, which was why not only did it not manage to tame the Fire Ape, it had instead made the Fire Ape crazily want to kill everyone.
Even Su Ming, whose gaze was slightly different from before, was now filled with extreme disgust. Once it had the chance, it would tear his body apart.
Zi Che stood up in the distance and glared at the Fire Ape coldly. He took a few steps forward, and he could feel the intense rage and madness coming from the ape. If it was not bound by the metal chains, it might have immediately pounced on Su Ming and killed him before roaring at the sky and fleeing.
Zi Che could also sense a powerful threat coming from the ape. The ape may be weak, but there was a mighty pressure that was equivalent to those in the Bone Sacrifice Realm coming from its body. That pressure might be weak, but it truly existed. It could be seen that if the ape was at the peak of its condition, it would definitely be incredibly powerful.
Its speed just now had especially shocked Zi Che.
Almost the instant Zi Che took a few cautious steps forward, the Fire Ape turned around swiftly. Its eyes were bloodshot as it glared at Zi Che, and with one move, a murderous aura that surged into the sky charged towards Zi Che. A dark red shadow charged out in an instant, and in an instant, it was already less than 30 feet away from Zi Che.
With a bang, the metal chains went taut, causing the Fire Ape's speed to come to a halt. It swiped at empty air and sliced through the air twenty feet away from Zi Che. It might not have touched Zi Che, but the violent gust of wind it stirred up made Zi Che's heart tremble. The strong wind blew against his face, and he felt a dull pain in his chest.
The Fire Ape was roaring towards the sky with the metal chains around its neck. That sound was shrill, filled with resignation, and also filled with an unwillingness to admit defeat. In fact, due to the tightness of the chains around its neck, its fur was already a bloody mess.
"Zi Che, step down," Su Ming said softly as he looked at the Fire Ape.
Zi Che bowed and took a few steps back, but he still stared at the Fire Ape warily. The creature's brutal presence was incredibly shocking. He could already imagine just how much trouble it would turn into once it regained its freedom after the chains were released.
Once Zi Che took a few steps back, the madness in the Fire Ape's eyes did not diminish. Instead, it became stronger. From its expression, it could be seen that it did not trust anyone. It had a strong aversion and hatred towards everything around it. It was using brutality and madness to hide the loneliness in its heart.
This was what Su Ming saw.
"I once had a companion," Su Ming said softly.
The moment he spoke, the Fire Ape turned around swiftly and glared at Su Ming. The red glare in its eyes appeared once again, and at the same time a murderous look appeared in its eyes, it turned around and crouched down on the ground with a brutal look on its face.
"Its name …" The moment Su Ming said those words, Zi Che's expression changed abruptly, not too far away.
The Fire Ape let out a piercing howl and charged towards Su Ming so quickly that it left behind afterimages. It was too fast, and with a monstrous murderous aura, it appeared before Su Ming in the blink of an eye. Its hands turned into claws and went straight for Su Ming's chest. By the looks of it, it wanted to tear Su Ming's chest open and take out his heart to eat.
Grief appeared on Su Ming's face. The Fire Ape saw that, but it did not slow down. Instead, it became even faster. Yet the moment it touched Su Ming's body, the ape suddenly let out a shrill scream of pain. The chains around its neck were wrapped tightly around it, causing it to be unable to breathe. The chains swung and dragged the ape away before flinging it against the wall by the side. Booming sounds reverberated in the air, and cracks appeared on the wall. The Fire Ape fell down, but it immediately climbed up and continued howling madly at Su Ming with brutality.
"Uncle master, be careful!" At that moment, Zi Che's voice traveled into Su Ming's ears. Everything had happened too quickly. From the start to the end, it had only been an instant.
"... It's called Xiao Hong …" Su Ming did not stop speaking until he finished speaking. If there was a need to describe what had happened just now, then it would be the process between Su Ming's words and the ape's cry.
"When we met, I was an ignorant teenager, and it was in the forest …" Su Ming spoke softly, as if he was mumbling to himself, but also as if he was speaking to the Fire Ape.
The Fire Ape's brutality grew stronger, as if it did not understand Su Ming's words. With a single move, it charged towards Su Ming once again. Even if it knew that it was useless, it still charged towards Su Ming with a howl.
It closed in in an instant, and before its claws could even land on Su Ming, the chains around its neck flung it away once again, and it crashed into the ground with a bang.
Only then did Zi Che let out a sigh of relief. He took a few steps back and looked at the Fire Ape warily. The Fire Ape's strength shocked Zi Che greatly. Not only was it incredibly fast, it was also incredibly strong. In fact, its murderous aura was still so thick that it could even withstand such a heavy blow.
"I'm weak. Besides being nimble, I don't have any other strong points … But I'm very familiar with the forest, that's why I thought that I was very fast when I ran around there …
"Until I met Xiao Hong …" As Su Ming mumbled, the Fire Ape let out a piercing howl and charged towards him once again, but it was still flung away by the chains before Su Ming. Booming sounds reverberated in the air and drowned out Su Ming's voice.
"I still remember that when we first met, it was squatting on a tree branch with a fruit core in its hand. It was looking at me with a mocking smile … Its fur was fiery red, just like yours …" A nostalgic look appeared in Su Ming's eyes. As he spoke, the Fire Ape charged towards him once again, but what awaited it was still a tumble to the ground. This time, it coughed out a mouthful of blood.
However, the madness and irritation on its face did not diminish.
'It was very beautiful. I liked it a lot … I wanted to catch it, but it was too fast … Perhaps it's fate. After that, every single time I entered the forest, I would see it …' A smile appeared on Su Ming's face. It was a smile that appeared when he was immersed in his memories.
The moment that smile appeared, the Fire Ape charged out once again. However, this time, the instant it closed in on Su Ming, it saw the gentle smile on his face, and a shudder ran through its body.
It possessed a high level of intelligence and could differentiate between good and evil in other people. At the same time, it did not matter whether it was a person's smile or words, it did not believe in them, because it had run into plenty of such situations in its life.
It did not believe in anyone. It only believed in its own instincts.
That was why it could understand Su Ming's previous words, but it had ignored them and fought back with brutality. Yet now, when it saw the gentle smile on Su Ming's face, for some unknown reason, it was touched by that smile that had been buried deep within its heart.
There was not a hint of malice in that smile. That smile was not directed at it either …
Yet there was sincerity contained within that smile, along with a hint of sadness within the happiness.
The Fire Ape stopped and crouched down ten feet away from Su Ming. It looked at the person before it, and a hint of hesitation appeared on its face amidst the brutality.
"I'm the one who gave Xiao Hong its name …" Su Ming mumbled and closed his eyes.
