"Ha, Senior Brother Kadin, if you become a Great Teacher, please accept me as your Successor Disciple. I'm definitely the most obedient Successor Disciple." Helen's eyes were shining, and her infatuated expression was on full display.
"Please don't joke with me. It's extremely difficult to reach the Heavenly Soul Stage. I've only met the basic requirements. I've only completed the first stroke of the horoscope. " Kadin chuckled and was rather humble. "Okay, let's move on. This is only the first one. Hehe, we have a lot of needs today."
It had to be said that Kadin's actions had indeed shocked everyone. As the commander of the team, everyone had to have confidence in him. Tianqiong Musk and the others were even more motivated, and their faces were filled with pride. Robben hurriedly shouted at the back, "You, clean up. Don't just stand there like a fool."
"Senior Brother Robben!" Laura frowned, but Wang Zhong smiled and nodded. Since he was helping, he should act like he was helping. There was no high or low position in the job. Since it was assigned to him in advance, he just had to do it for a long time. Wang Zhong still had the awareness to cherish the environment.
Laura felt even worse. If she knew this would happen, she wouldn't have asked Wang Zhong to come. The more Wang Zhong wronged himself, the sadder she felt.
Perhaps it was just like what her grandfather had said. Life could change a person. Wang Zhong was right to choose to keep a low profile in the Holy Land, but she had mixed feelings, especially when she saw Wang Zhong cleaning up the corpses. It was a pity that she couldn't do anything about it.
Paradise Island used to be a standard A-rank secret realm, and the Heart-Eating Apes were just relatively weak dimensional creatures. However, due to the special effects of their hearts, this place had become a paradise for the Heart-Eating Apes ever since the Musk Family occupied this place.
The team continued to venture deeper. Including the first time, they had encountered six groups of apes in a row. Logically speaking, they should have been able to obtain at least six Heart-Eating Ape Hearts. However, because of the commotion they caused, three of the male apes slipped away under the cover of the female apes. There were also some male apes that weren't good enough, so they couldn't be used. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, yet they only obtained two Heart-Eating Ape Hearts, Laura began to worry.
"Brother, remember what you promised me. If you don't have enough, you have to fight for it no matter what." She had a hunch that they might not be able to collect enough Heart-Eating Monkey Hearts today. Tianqiong Musk would definitely take one, and the other two newcomers from the Musk Family would definitely have priority too. If they could collect one more, it would be fine. At worst, she wouldn't need it and could just give it to Wang Zhong. But if they were to stop here today, then it would really be …
Therefore, she wanted to confirm it once again to ensure that Wang Zhong would be able to obtain the precious heart of the Heart-Eating Ape.
Molton had already read something from his sister's eyes. He smiled and nodded. It seemed that everyone's strategy was starting to work. In front of them was a high-spirited and powerful leader, while behind them was a scavenger. Such a sharp contrast would change the mindset of any woman, and Lola was no exception.
Those young people who shouted about their so-called love only did so because they had too little experience. When they really stepped into reality, reality would instantly crush their love, and they would no longer recognize themselves.
It was agreed in advance that the Musk Family would have priority. Even Lola had to step aside. After all, they didn't even spend a cent of the Pioneering Order's money to come here today. Therefore, if they really only had two Heart-Eating Ape Hearts today, they might have to pay something to make Kadin give them up, and the price would definitely not be small. However, if it could change Lola's childish and abnormal view of love once and for all, Molton was willing to pay the price.
"Don't worry, he won't be forgotten," he said faintly.
Helen, on the other hand, looked behind her in disdain. She had been trying to strike up a conversation with Kadin today, but she didn't get much of a response. She was so upset that she needed to vent a little. "Men are better off dead than alive when they're at this level." Kadin was speechless.
She and Faye walked in the middle and back of the team. When they spoke, the people in front couldn't hear them, but they didn't avoid Wang Zhong, who was behind them.
"Don't talk too much." Faye tugged at her, but it was obviously not because of Wang Zhong. "I know you're unhappy today. Don't provoke her in the future. Kadin likes her, and there's nothing you can do about it."
"Yes, yes, yes. You're protecting her now. You're family!" Helen rolled her eyes sourly. "My bestie will have to stand aside from now on."
"You're so annoying." Faye laughed and pinched her.
"There's movement." Kadin waved his hand and stopped everyone's voices. He also stopped the three-man team that was acting as the vanguard. He seemed to have discovered something, and his brows furrowed slightly.
The entire team immediately stopped moving. Along the way today, no matter how big the group of apes they encountered, Kadin always looked calm and collected. Now that he had such a serious expression on his face, everyone realized that something bad was about to happen. But didn't they say that Paradise Island wasn't dangerous?
Everyone looked at Kadin in confusion, but they saw Kadin and Molton's expressions suddenly change.
The sound of wind breaking came from the banana forest in front of them.
Swoosh!
Bang!
Pa pa pa!
Tianqiong Musk, who was standing at the front of the trio, suddenly jerked his head backwards as an arrow of blood shot out from his chest. At the same time, a small black shadow shot out from his back at a speed that was almost untraceable to the naked eye. Not only did it pierce through Tianqiong Musk's chest, it even shot through the 4 to 5 trees behind him that were so thick that it would take two people to wrap their arms around it. Finally, when its strength was exhausted, it embedded itself deeply into the trunk of a large tree.
When everyone saw it clearly, they realized that the small black shadow was actually just a small stone?!
Such terrifying power was actually caused by a small stone? This …
Kadin and Molton's faces instantly turned pale. The stronger they were, the more they realized how terrifying this power was. Based on their understanding of Paradise Island, this kind of power could only come from one creature — the Heart-Eating Ape King!
The heart of the Heart-Eating Ape King naturally had even more magical effects. It was an S-rank precious ingredient for gourmets and could be said to be the most valuable asset on Paradise Island. Compared to providing the Heart-Eating Ape King to the Heroic Souls, the true purpose of the existence of Paradise Island was to nurture this Heart-Eating Ape King!
Although the family would immediately hunt down the Heart-Eating Ape King every time it appeared, it had to be discovered first. After the family took control of Paradise Island, they had hunted and killed a total of six Heart-Eating Ape Kings in the past 100 years. Three of them were discovered during regular clean-up operations, while the other three were coincidentally encountered by the children of the family when they were training on the island.
Although the probability of this happening was very small, it did exist. Kadin was both excited and depressed. He was excited because this was a big discovery, but depressed because this wasn't something he could handle.
The combat power of the Heart-Eating Ape King was the top among the Heroic Soul Stage, so he didn't have to rely on luck.
The others were obviously still in a daze, and all their attention was attracted by the small stone. Kadin and Molton, on the other hand, were the first to move.
Kadin's storage space had already appeared. He put his left hand into it, and in the blink of an eye, a red crystal appeared in his hand. Molton rushed forward, grabbed Tianqiong Musk, who had already fallen to the ground, and quickly retreated.
"Come to my side!" Kadin shouted. The red crystal in his hand was already in place, and a boundary appeared. This was a defensive boundary to deal with emergencies. Kadin felt a little pained, but he couldn't care so much. The Ape King wasn't something they could deal with at their level.
With this item in hand, Kadin's expression was still relatively calm, but he didn't dare to activate it immediately. He had to wait for everyone to enter the protective range. Otherwise, once the boundary was opened, no one would be able to enter from the outside.
The two newcomers and Laura quickly retreated. Obviously, they already knew the function of this boundary, and they were already in position. Faye, Robben, and Helen, who were behind them, were also frightened and quickly moved closer. They weren't rookies. They could really fight against the Heart-Eating Apes, but once a small feudal lord appeared, unless they were top Heroic Soul Stage soldiers, they would just be throwing their lives away. Moreover, numbers didn't matter. It was a complete suppression of combat power. Hence, Robben and the others were even more decisive than the newcomers and didn't hesitate at all.
Unfortunately, although Molton was fast, he was still dragging a person with him. Furthermore, the one in the woods was even faster than him.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh ~ ~ ~
This time, there were four stones. Four black shadows!
Molton's Soul Power erupted, and he quickly blocked with the long sword in his hand, but his arm was also numb. However, at this moment, a silver shadow had already attacked him. Molton gritted his teeth and attacked with all his might.
Boom!
Molton seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, and his entire body flew backward along with Tianqiong. At this moment, Kadin's attack also arrived. The golden shadow slashed towards the white shadow with indomitable will.
Boom …
With just one punch, the golden shadow was defeated, but the shadow also stopped. Everyone saw a giant Heart-Eating Ape shining with silver light. Blood flowed from the corner of its mouth. Legend had it that the Heart-Eating Ape King fed on its own kind, which was why it could advance so quickly and break through the limits of its species. However, there was also a side effect — the Ape King was genderless.
Kadin was also secretly surprised. He had long heard about the power of the Heart-Eating Ape King, but after all, it wasn't a true Heavenly Soul Stage dimensional creature. He originally thought that he might be able to put up a fight against it, but he didn't act rashly out of habit. Now, it seemed that even if there were more people, they wouldn't be a match for this monster. He immediately understood from the previous attack that this monster's body was as hard as diamond.
If he really had to fight it head-on, he would probably only be able to escape.
However, this attack also stopped the Heart-Eating Ape King's attack. Molton, who got up, suppressed his injuries and dragged the unconscious Tianqiong Musk back to Kadin's side. Without hesitation, Kadin squeezed his left hand, and the crystal shattered. An egg-shaped ward instantly appeared and enveloped everyone within it.
The Heart-Eating Ape King opened its bloody mouth and was very puzzled as to why the creature in front of it suddenly disappeared. However, it refused to leave just like that. Although it was manic, it wasn't weak in intelligence. At the level of the Heart-Eating Ape King, it was also very effective in preying on human experts. Therefore, once it was discovered, the Musk Family had to deal with it as soon as possible. Other Heart-Eating Apes didn't have this problem, but this monster was unusually cunning and wouldn't show itself easily.
The Heart-Eating Ape King casually swung its thick arm, creating a huge air-piercing force. More than a dozen trees beside it were smashed down.
Roar roar roar!
It pounded its chest and was extremely manic. Its roar was so deafening that it made people's ears numb. Everyone in the barrier looked at each other in dismay. This kind of Heart-Eating Ape King that only appeared once in a decade could actually be encountered by everyone. This kind of luck was really amazing.
Faye, who was at the side, immediately checked Tianqiong Musk's injury. Perhaps Tianqiong Musk had done something to save himself at the critical moment. The pine nuts had only pierced through his chest and didn't hurt his heart. With a high-level pharmacist like Faye, this kind of piercing wound was nothing. Faye quickly helped Tianqiong to heal him.
This also made Kadin heave a sigh of relief. Tianqiong Musk was a seedling that the family had been focusing on recently. If he died on his first mission with Kadin, although no one in the family would dare to say anything, it would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to his own reputation.
"We have to retreat. We have to report this to the family." Kadin also felt a little regretful, but it was also an experience to see such a monster with his own eyes. He only managed to collect two Heart-Eating Ape Hearts, which were not enough for his family. He looked at Laura apologetically. "I'm sorry that I can't help you fulfill your wish."
He had originally planned to get a few more Heart-Eating Ape Hearts. Since they were already here, there was no reason for them to leave just like that. Who would have thought that they would encounter such a thing? Once the Heart-Eating Ape King targeted them, they could forget about going around in circles.
Clearly, Laura wasn't satisfied. Wang Zhong had been doing the dirty work for the entire day and had suffered a lot of supercilious looks. This wasn't why she had asked Wang Zhong to come. She looked around and was about to give Molton a look when she suddenly realized a problem.
No!
"Where's Wang Zhong?" Laura felt dizzy and exclaimed.
Wang Zhong wasn't in the ward.
Frankly speaking, everyone had really forgotten about that guy on the way here today. At first, they might have deliberately ignored him to humiliate him, but later on, they really forgot about him … That guy didn't have any sense of existence at all. The small team in front was fighting fiercely and in full swing, and they were in high spirits. Who would care about a cleaner who was picking up trash at the back?
Kadin frowned. Frankly speaking, he didn't care about Wang Zhong's life or death, but after all, he used to be Laura's sweetheart. He didn't want to use such means to eliminate his love rival. That would only create a knot in Laura's heart. He understood women too well. At this time, they looked outside the ward and saw Wang Zhong swaggering over from the other side. It seemed like he had fallen behind in cleaning up the battlefield left behind by everyone.
Laura panicked when she saw this. Without thinking, she shouted, "Wang Zhong, don't come over. Run!"
"You'll expose us!" Helen was also anxious. She was already unhappy with Laura, her love rival, and she immediately scolded her.
"There's no need to shout. The sound in the ward can't travel out. Also, he can't see us," Kadin said in a low voice. "We can only hope that he's smart enough. The Ape King's roar wasn't soft just now. He should have heard it."
But just as he finished speaking, he saw Wang Zhong walking straight to the front of the ward and wiping his hands. He also deliberately lagged behind. After all, no matter how good his mentality was, he couldn't stand such constant sarcasm.
