A magical crystal was equivalent to a source of extraordinary power. It contained the purest form of energy, and was the most valuable material for a magical beast.
Not all magical beasts were able to condense magical crystals. Moreover, magical beasts with magical crystals would often try their best to stimulate the energy of the magical crystal when faced with a life or death situation. They would even self-destruct to take their enemies down with them.
Therefore, if one wanted to obtain a complete, high-quality magical crystal, they had to end the battle quickly and not give the magical beast a chance to explode.
These Stone-Armored Mountain Apes had been slaughtered like vegetables by Zuo Yi, so the magical crystals in their bodies were basically intact and full of energy. This was especially so for the magical crystal that was dug out from the body of the Great Strength Mountain Ape. It was the size of an egg and emitted a gentle glow. It looked very beautiful.
Zuo Yi was very satisfied with such a harvest.
After digging out the magical crystal, he continued to collect the remaining materials and followed the tracks left behind by the Great Strength Mountain Apes, heading towards the peak.
Apart from the Mountain Ape King that had yet to show itself, Zuo Yi already had a basic understanding of the group of apes that occupied this mountain peak.
There was no need to waste any more time!
The mountain peak was huge and towered into the clouds. The area below the mountainside was covered in a dense primeval forest. After passing the mountainside, the vegetation gradually became sparse, revealing a large number of craggy rocks.
Zuo Yi charged straight up without encountering any obstruction. The mountain apes seemed to have vanished without a trace in an instant.
However, he soon discovered the location of the enemy's lair.
In the middle of a large area of greenish-black rocks, there were densely packed caves. Hundreds of ordinary mountain apes, a few Stone-Armored Mountain Apes, and Great Strength Mountain Apes were gathered in front of the caves. They held rocks, stone clubs, stone axes, and other weapons, as if they were facing a great enemy.
The most eye-catching of all was a white mountain ape that was surrounded by Stone-Armored Mountain Apes and Great Strength Mountain Apes.
Whether it was in terms of height or physique, it was far inferior to the Stone-Armored Mountain Apes and Great Strength Mountain Apes.
However, this white ape was dressed in a robe and held a white bone staff in its hand. Its long hair hung down to the ground, and a pair of gem-like eyes stared at Zuo Yi. Its deep and sharp gaze seemed to want to pierce through the latter!
Roar! Roar!
Seeing Zuo Yi approaching with a sword in hand, the mountain apes were incomparably furious. They shouted and jumped, wishing they could immediately rush down and tear Zuo Yi to pieces to avenge their comrades who had just died tragically.
Zuo Yi was not afraid at all. He stretched out his hand and hooked his finger at the other party.
Although they didn't speak the same language, the provocation in his actions was too obvious. The mountain apes flew into a rage!
This was especially true for the Mighty Mountain Ape who was standing beside White Ape, who was roaring furiously.
White Ape suddenly raised his bone staff.
All the mountain apes immediately quieted down. Although their eyes were spitting fire, they didn't continue to clamor.
The Mountain Ape King!
Zuo Yi didn't expect the boss in Mountain Ape to look like this. It looked like it was also a magic-type priest. However, when he thought of the old gnome priest, he wasn't too surprised.
The Mountain Ape King jumped down from the tall rock and stopped about 20 meters away from Zuo Yi. It opened its mouth and said, "Kaja San Nisu Coffee?"
Its voice was extremely hoarse, as if it hadn't spoken for a long time. It was very difficult to speak.
However, no matter how eloquent and clear its voice was, Zuo Yi couldn't understand it.
Zuo Yi said, "Speak human language."
Zuo Yi wasn't a bloodthirsty person. His purpose in coming here was only to climb up and survey the surrounding terrain. If the mountain apes were willing to communicate, then he was willing to coexist peacefully with them.
However, it would be a joke to expect Zuo Yi to be patient.
Since this wasn't the Origin World, he wouldn't get any faith power from doing anything here.
Similarly, even if he slaughtered all life in this world, he wouldn't lose any divine power.
The Mountain Ape King was silent for a moment. It took out a plant root from its pocket and broke it in two.
It swung its arm and tossed half of it to Zuo Yi.
Because of his previous experience with the old gnome priest, Zuo Yi didn't even think about it. He caught the konjac and stuffed it into his mouth.
Well, it tasted even better.
After swallowing the konjac at the same time, there was no barrier to communication between the two sides.
"Outsider …"
The Mountain Ape King hissed. "Why did you come to the territory of the Shika tribe and slaughter our people?"
"I just want to take a look at the top of the mountain."
Zuo Yi pointed to the snowy top of the mountain and said, "I have no intention of being your enemy. It's you who chose to treat me as your enemy."
"That's the sacred land of our tribe!"
The Mountain Ape King's pupils suddenly shrank. "The remains of our ancestors are buried there. No outsiders can offend them!"
"So there's no room for negotiation?"
Zuo Yi smiled, raised the longsword in his hand, and said, "Then I'll give you two choices. Surrender …"
"Or die!"
In fact, Zuo Yi didn't have to go to the top of the mountain. For his purpose, as long as he climbed to a certain height, it would be enough.
However, he had killed many mountain apes and had a great hatred for the so-called Shika tribe. Since the other side's attitude was so unyielding, there was basically no room for negotiation.
In addition, Zuo Yi wanted to learn more about this world from the Mountain Ape King.
"The apes will never be slaves!"
Zuo Yi's words clearly provoked the Mountain Ape King's sensitive nerves. Its eyes suddenly turned blood red, and it roared fiercely!
The next moment, the white ape raised the bone staff in its hand.
The dozens of rocks scattered around the mountain were instantly suspended in the air by an invisible force. Then, like cannonballs, they shot toward Zuo Yi!
At the same time, the surrounding mountain apes threw their weapons with all their might. All kinds of rocks and stone axes fell like raindrops, forming a blanket attack.
Two powerful mountain apes simultaneously raised two huge rocks weighing over a thousand kilograms and threw them at Zuo Yi!
However, Zuo Yi rushed forward the moment the Mountain Ape King attacked. He waved the Crimson Dragon Sword, slicing all the rocks that could hit him into pieces. His body shot toward the Mountain Ape King like an arrow released from a bow.
To catch bandits, one must first capture the leader. The value of this Mountain Ape King was much higher than all the other mountain apes combined!
Seeing this, the Mountain Ape King snorted coldly, and the bone staff in its hand heavily slammed into the ground.
Dozens of sharp rock spikes burst out of the ground in an instant, forming a dense death trap in front of it.
However, this was completely useless against Zuo Yi, because he was wearing a complete set of Cliff Dragon Leather Armor, including his combat boots. The Mountain Ape King's Earth Spikes could not penetrate it at all, so it was completely useless and did not hurt Zuo Yi at all.
Zuo Yi closed in on the Mountain Ape King like a hot knife through butter, freeing his left hand to grab it!
