The direction the sound came from was near the water source that McGrenn had mentioned earlier.
The two of them ran out of the cave one after the other, and saw Cromwell running back like a stray dog.
"Monster … Monster … Monster … Monster took Ina away!" Cromwell looked extremely disheveled. His luxurious mage robe was covered in mud and leaves, and he was out of breath when he spoke.
Lin Li could not help but shake his head when he saw this scene.
This fellow was such a good-for-nothing. No wonder McGrenn didn't look too good when he followed him out just now. If I had a daughter, I wouldn't be happy to see such a coward …
"What monster? Make yourself clear! " McGrenn's eyes were red with anxiety when it concerned his own daughter. He glared at Cromwell without the previous hint of alienation and politeness.
"Just … Just now … When I went to fetch water with Ina, a monster suddenly appeared next to us! It, it, it … It took Ina … "
"F * ck!" Lin Li threw down a curse, and no longer cared about the coward. He cast another Hastening Spell on himself, and passed through the dense jungle like the wind.
Behind the jungle was a gurgling stream. This was probably the water source McGrenn had mentioned. Beside the stream, a water bag was lying quietly on the fallen leaves. The water inside had not yet run out, and was gurgling out.
Lin Li bent down to pick up the water bag and shook it by his ear. He found that there was still half a bag of water in it.
"They shouldn't have gone far!"
Looking at the footprints on the ground, they were unusually messy. Some were big, some were small, some were deep, and some were shallow. The small ones should have been left by Ina and Cromwell, but the big ones made Lin Li gasp in shock!
"Leviathan Gorilla!" Lin Li believed that he was not mistaken. These were definitely the footprints of the level-eight magical beast, Leviathan Gorilla. He had seen them once or twice outside Andoine's hut when he was on the mountain. It was just that at such times, the old fellow would always say that a few ruffians wanted to make trouble and were chased away by him …
Andoine could treat them as hooligans, but Lin Li did not. A level-eight magical beast was no joke. Even in the Sunset Mountains, it was definitely a creature in the middle of the food chain.
However, after confirming that it was a Leviathan Gorilla, Lin Li heaved a sigh of relief.
If it had been other magical beasts, Ina would have been dead by now. Only the Leviathan Gorillas were not life-threatening. Compared to other ferocious magical beasts, the Leviathan Gorillas were not too keen on killing. Just as Andoine had said, they were just a bunch of ruffians who liked to cause trouble.
"The one who captured Ina should be the Leviathan Gorilla."
"Leviathan Gorilla?"
"It's an anomaly in the Sunset Mountains, a magical beast that isn't too passionate about killing. If I'm not wrong, Ina might be crying now, but her life shouldn't be in danger." Lin Li looked at the messy footprints on the ground, and added softly, "Judging from the footprints, there should only be one."
McGrenn heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that the situation was not as bad as he had imagined.
The two of them no longer cared about Cromwell. They followed the footprints by the stream and continued their search.
Indeed, Lin Li's guess was right. Both of them could hear Ina's cries from afar.
The cries came from a dense forest. From afar, the trees in the forest seemed to be especially tall, and the leaves seemed to be especially lush. Between the tall trees, there were tough rattans. These rattans were connected together like a giant net.
Lin Li had heard from Andoine that this was the unique construction method of the Leviathan Gorillas. They used rattans to weave a giant net, and wherever their territory expanded, the giant net would cover that area. For the Leviathan Gorilla, this giant net was not only its nest, but also its most powerful weapon. With this giant net, the Leviathan Gorilla could do many things that even high-level magical beasts could not.
And the long-legged beauty who had been captured was now trapped in the giant net.
"Go away! You monster … go away! "Ina struggled with all her might amidst her cries.
Hearing Ina's cries, the two hurried forward.
As soon as they reached the bottom of the tree, they saw that Ina was tied up in the giant net with layers of rattans wrapped around her like a big dumpling. The Leviathan Gorilla, on the other hand, had gotten a paintbrush from somewhere. It was drawing circles on Ina's face while letting out a strange cackle.
"F * ck!" Lin Li suddenly felt that the Leviathan Gorilla was really perverted. As a magical beast, it did not tear or bite a human after capturing her, but instead used a brush to draw circles on her face. What was it if not perverted?
"Ina!" After all, the hearts of father and daughter were connected. McGrenn stood under the tree anxiously when he saw his daughter crying.
But in his anxiety, he forgot that there was a level-eight magical beast on the tree.
"Daddy, be careful!" Before the long-legged beauty could finish her sentence, Lin Li suddenly heard a piercing sound, followed by a dull thud. McGrenn, who had just been shouting his daughter's name, did not even have time to dodge before he was knocked out by a coconut that fell from the sky.
"Hahahaha!" The Leviathan Gorilla was even more excited when the coconut hit the human on the ground. It laughed strangely as it jumped, and even turned around to shake its butt at the two.
"…" With McGrenn's lesson, Lin Li hurriedly hid behind a tree to prevent the damn gorilla from sneaking up on him with a coconut.
Who knew that just as he turned sideways to hide behind the tree, he suddenly felt his feet become light, and then his whole body fell over.
"F * ck!" Lin Li did not expect that there was a rattan hidden under the tree he was hiding under. One end of the rattan was tied with a slipknot, and the other end was in the hands of the Leviathan Gorilla. The damn gorilla pulled the rattan, and Lin Li was hung up.
Lin Li's reaction was also very fast. He rose rapidly in the air, but his mind was abnormally calm. He did not recite any spells, but with a strange gesture, a Wind Blade had already made a sharp sound as it pierced through the air.
With this Wind Blade, Lin Li managed to sever the treacherous vine and cast a Feather Fall Spell on himself at the same time. Lin Li finally managed to escape the trap, but what followed was another round of attacks from coconuts that resembled a storm.
He did not know where the damn gorilla got so many coconuts from, but it smashed them like a storm, and at least hundreds of coconuts came down.
Lin Li was in so much pain that he could not even begin to describe it.
The Leviathan Gorilla was a real level-eight magical beast. Even a warrior like McGrenn was knocked out on the spot when the coconut fell from its hand, not to mention Lin Li, who was not strong.
Every coconut that hit him felt like he was being shot by a cannonball.
It was too violent. The coconuts smashed down one after another, and Lin Li could not even lift his head.
Lin Li also had some opportunities to counterattack in between. It was either two Wind Blades or a few Icicles, but most of these spells fell on the tough rattan.
The Leviathan Gorilla's control of the giant net was as flexible as an arm. As it twisted and turned, it blocked most of the spells.
Even if there were one or two spells that were lucky enough to pass through the giant net and hit the Leviathan Gorilla, it would be difficult to cause any substantial damage.
The resistance of a level-eight magical beast was worlds apart from that of the Manticore Tributary. For Lin Li, the effect of these spells was probably to anger the Leviathan Gorilla and make it smash the coconuts harder.
Dozens of Wind Blades and dozens of Icicles … If it were any other mage, they would have long exhausted all their mana. Only a freak like Lin Li, whose mental strength was severely deformed, could continue to persevere in the rain of coconuts.
But even Lin Li was a little desperate at this time.
