The group of human-faced monkeys had long since gone crazy from hunger, waiting for the fruits to ripen. Only the ripe fruits were the most nutritious, and could be used to reconstruct Murong Mansha's body. The monkeys were waiting, and so was Du Feng. It was a contest of who could act faster and more ruthlessly.
In theory, only one Human-Faced Peach was needed to reconstruct Murong Mansha's body. But the more of these things, the better the effect. The limit for a male body was nine Human-Faced Peaches, and for a female body, seven.
If Du Feng wanted to do this perfectly, he would need to snatch at least eight Human-Faced Peaches from the group of monkeys. Seven for Murong Mansha, and one for Old Zhong. For him to snatch an extra Human-Faced Peach for someone he had just met and could not even be considered a friend, it could be said to be quite generous. Of course, the prerequisite was that Murong Mansha had enough Human-Faced Peaches. If he could only snatch five or six Human-Faced Peaches, he would definitely give them to Cousin Murong first, and Old Zhong would think of other ways.
The Human-Faced Peach grew larger and larger, growing from the size of a baby's head to the size of an adult's head. Strictly speaking, it was even bigger than a normal human's head. Because the outside was still the flesh of a peach, only one side had the appearance of a human face.
"It's ripe!"
The moment Du Feng's words left his mouth, he shot forward. At this time, the group of human-faced monkeys also reacted. The monkeys were so hungry that their eyes were turning green. How could they let go of so many plump Human-Faced Peaches?
The First Absolute of the Eastern Monarch Freezes a thousand li. This was the moment Du Feng had been waiting for. When all the monkeys had leaped up from the ring-shaped mountain, but before they could land on the trees, he activated his powerful sword technique. Blue snowflakes drifted down, landing on the bodies of all the human-faced monkeys and the Human-Faced Peach Trees.
The skinny bodies of the human-faced monkeys started to freeze, and the layer of dirty monkey fur also started to harden. It was as if they had been scooped up from a pool of ice water. Although they did not turn into statues, their movement speed was greatly reduced. They had just jumped off the ring-shaped mountain when they fell down uncontrollably.
Now was the time. With a wave of his hand, Du Feng plucked all the Human-Faced Peaches off the tree branch closest to him. Then, he flapped his Flaming Wings and flew back, not daring to tarry any longer.
The Human-faced Monkey was indeed a ninth-level demonic beast, one that was even stronger than the Pink Piggy. If the Pink Piglet was equivalent to a Winged Transformation Stage Two or Three Cultivation Stage, then the Human-Faced Monkey was equivalent to a Winged Transformation Stage Five martial artist.
One or two would be fine, but Du Feng really couldn't afford to provoke such a large group of them. He could only make them stay in a stalemate for a while and then immediately leave as fast as he could. He didn't even dare to release Xiao Hei. This was because it would take time to retrieve Xiao Hei. In the blink of an eye, those crazy monkeys could catch up to him.
"Bang, bang, bang …"
The human-faced monkey fell to the ground, shattering the layer of ice on its body. All the female monkeys chased after Du Feng as if they had gone crazy. Most of the male monkeys also chased after him, with the exception of one. Its body was slightly bigger, and it wasn't as skinny as the other monkeys. The color of its fur was slightly darker, and it had the face of a middle-aged man.
On the head of a monkey, there was a human face. Just the thought of it was quite terrifying. The Snake Lady he'd met in the secret realm was different. She had a snake-like body with a human head. It was a human head, with human ears and hair.
On the other hand, the Human-faced Monkey only had the shape of a human's face, eyes, nose, and mouth. Its ears were still monkey ears, and it didn't have human hair. The top of its head was still monkey fur. It felt like a human face had been forcefully pasted onto the monkey's head. The face of this monkey king was that of a middle-aged uncle.
It glared fiercely at the escaping Du Feng, but it couldn't help but give chase. Instead, it took the opportunity to climb up the Human-Faced Peach Tree and started plucking the fruits. Du Feng's divine sense had been covering the back of the monkey king the whole time. He discovered that after plucking so many fruits, the monkey king didn't eat them, nor did it hold them in its hands. Instead, they had disappeared.
This meant that the monkey king had something like a spatial necklace or a storage ring to hide the fruits. This way, when the other human-faced monkeys returned, they wouldn't be able to discover that it had stolen the fruits. There were no fruits on its body, and its mouth didn't seem like it had eaten before.
No wonder this fellow could become the monkey king. The other monkeys were all skin and bones from starvation, but it was still so mighty and majestic. It probably wasn't the first time it had done something like hiding the fruits. Du Feng should really thank this monkey king for its greed. In order to steal the fruits, it had pretended to stay behind to protect the Human-Faced Peach Tree. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if it chased after him.
The other human-faced monkeys were equivalent to human cultivators at the Fifth Level of the Ascension Realm. But this monkey king was equivalent to a human cultivator at the Ninth Level of the Ascension Realm. Regardless of speed or strength, it wasn't something the other monkeys could compare to. It was an entire realm higher than Du Feng. If they really fought, it would be quite a suspense.
Du Feng had reason to believe that after the monkey king finished eating the hidden Human-Faced Peaches, it would successfully advance to Grade 10 Demonic Beast. At that time, he didn't know if it would continue to stay on the monkey mountain as a king or go to the Grade 10 Demonic Beast region to establish a new territory.
The Sixth Level of the Phoenix Wings Heaven Ascension Technique was not just for show. Its flying speed was astonishing. Although the human-faced monkeys were nimble, they had crawled up from the ground and started chasing. They didn't jump down from the ring-shaped mountain to surround and attack. With this slight delay, they would no longer be able to catch up to Du Feng.
However, he couldn't be too optimistic. There were too many trees along the way. When Du Feng flew at a low altitude, he needed to circle around every tree. On the other hand, the human-faced monkeys could use the branches and branches to increase their speed. The speed at which they swung was even faster than running.
Faster, a little faster. Du Feng kept urging himself, hoping to be faster. Circling in the forest could not be compared to flying in the sky. He couldn't bring out his speed to its peak. On the other hand, the human-faced monkeys' speed was getting faster and faster. With a light swing of the branches, they were able to fly a long distance.
Up ahead was the territory of the Grass Spirits. They shouldn't dare to follow. Seeing that the Grass Spirits' territory was not far away, a flame of hope ignited in Du Feng's heart. Under normal circumstances, a type of Demonic Beast would not easily enter the territory of another type of Demonic Beast of the same level. Even if there was a difference in strength, there wouldn't be too much of a difference. They were also afraid that a large-scale battle would cause unnecessary harm.
