#1076 - Giant ape appears
Song Wen and five others were in a stone crevice at the foot of a mountain.

The entrance to the crevice was very narrow, allowing only crawling entry; after proceeding a few dozen feet, it suddenly opened up into a spacious cave, several dozen feet wide.
The stone crevice had always been there; the cave deeper inside, however, was created by the six of them.
They didn't widen the entrance because they were worried that disturbing the surface rocks would create fresh traces, attracting the attention of the giant ape.
As for the depths of the crevice, Chi Pei had set up a concealment formation, making it difficult for even a sixth-order demon beast to detect anything unusual.
The six of them had been in the cave for more than ten days.
Outside the cave, there was no movement, not even a low-level demon beast appeared.
As cultivators, a mere ten days or so was but a blink of an eye for them, passing by unnoticed.
However, there was one exception.
Chi Pei!
For the first few days, everything was fine, but from the tenth day onwards, his eyes began to drift towards Qi Luo involuntarily.
And as time went on, that gaze became increasingly heated, filled with undisguised lust.
If there hadn't been others in the cave, he probably would have pounced on Qi Luo long ago.
Seeing this, Qi Luo felt no joy, but rather anxiety.
She knew very well that Chi Pei was affected by 'Red Dust Fragrance,' and the situation was getting worse.
If she wasn't by Chi Pei's side, Chi Pei's lust might not be so strong; but now, being in the same cave, day after day, doing nothing, only fueled Chi Pei's lust.
If this continued, even if Chi Pei didn't notice his own abnormality, others would notice something was wrong with him.
Qi Luo looked at the gaze Chi Pei cast, feeling more and more anxious, and pondered whether she should take the initiative to seduce Chi Pei and help him release his desire.
As long as no one discovered anything unusual, she would not hesitate to put on a show.
Just as she was hesitating, something suddenly changed outside the cave.
In the high sky, there were bursts of air-piercing sounds, and the surrounding miasma also began to churn.
However, no demon beast appeared.
The sound of piercing air lasted for about a few breaths, and then stopped abruptly. The surrounding miasma gradually subsided, returning to its original calm.
"What's going on? Is it some kind of avian demon beast passing by here?" Shi Man asked.
The sudden change diverted Chi Pei's attention. He stopped paying attention to Qi Luo, his eyes only staring at the direction of the cave entrance, and said in a low voice.
"It doesn't seem like a simple passing, but more like intentionally circling in the high sky."
Shi Man said, "Could it be hunting prey? But, this is the territory of the giant ape, isn't it afraid of running into the giant ape and being like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth by appearing so openly?"
Chi Pei said, "It's difficult for us to speculate on the intention of this demon beast coming here. However, this is not important, it has already left, and it will not affect our plan."
"What公子 said is very true," Shi Man said.
She didn't really think what Chi Pei said was reasonable, just simply flattering him.
Subsequently, Tang Gui and Sang Bu also joined the discussion, and there were bursts of whispers in the cave.
The few of them chatted idly, and after about half an hour, there was another change outside the cave.
"Boom!"
A muffled sound came.
Like something heavy had landed.
Immediately afterwards, bursts of chewing sounds rang out, accompanied by the cracking sound of bones breaking. The sound was very loud, and could be heard clearly from a distance.
Everyone's expressions suddenly brightened.
"The sound is coming from the place where the remains of the demon beast were previously discovered. Could it be that the giant ape is feeding there, and then will go to take a nap on that smooth rock?" Tang Gui said.
"It should be like this," Chi Pei's eyes flashed with a sharp light, "Everyone, I will close the concealment formation in a moment, and you will follow me out. Tang Gui, Sang Bu, the two of you go to attract the attention of the giant ape, don't let it leave the formation range. Shi Man, Qi Luo, you stay by my side to protect me, to prevent me from being disturbed by external objects while I am manipulating the formation."
"Yes!" The four people who were named, said.
As for Song Wen, Chi Pei directly ignored him, obviously not thinking that he, a 'Nascent Soul cultivator,' could do anything in the battle against the Blood-Eyed Divine Ape.
As soon as Chi Pei's voice fell, he pinched a magic seal and struck it towards a transparent barrier around him.
As the magic power fell, the barrier disappeared suddenly.
Tang Gui and Sang Bu were the first to rush out towards the cave entrance.
The other four also followed closely behind.
At this time, they no longer cared about concealing their figures, and directly broke through the rocks of the narrow cave entrance.
Tang Gui and Sang Bu rushed straight towards the direction from which the chewing sound came.
As the distance got closer and closer, a giant ape came into their view.
The giant ape was a hundred feet tall, with blood-red eyes, sitting on the ground, holding a tattered python corpse in its hand, constantly stuffing it into its mouth.
Fangs tore and bit, flesh and blood flew.
The appearance of the two also attracted the attention of the giant ape.
Being disturbed while eating, the giant ape seemed extremely angry.
"Roar!"
The giant ape let out an angry roar, the sound like thunder.
The giant ape casually threw away the python corpse, and suddenly exerted force under its feet, the ground suddenly burst out with several cracks, its huge body rose from the ground, and pounced on Tang Gui and Sang Bu.
Seeing this, Tang Gui and Sang Bu turned around and fled, looking quite embarrassed, like they had accidentally encountered the giant ape, knew they were no match, and fled in panic.
The direction they fled was towards that smooth rock, which was the center of the entire formation.
At the same time, Tang Gui opened his mouth and spat out a coffin.
The coffin swelled when it saw the wind, turning into a giant of several feet.
The coffin was jet black, covered with strange runes.
The coffin stood in the air, like a huge shield, protecting the two behind them.
"Boom!"
The giant ape's speed was much faster than the two, and the distance between the two sides was not far to begin with, and it chased behind the two in an instant.
It raised a giant palm and slammed it out with the momentum of a mountain and tsunami.
The runes on the coffin lit up instantly, and the black corpse gas poured out like a tide, facing the falling giant palm.
The corpse gas was vulnerable and suddenly dissipated.
The giant palm wrapped the power of splitting mountains and cracking the ground, and landed on the coffin.
The coffin was like being hit by a small mountain, and suddenly lost control, and smashed towards Tang Gui and Sang Bu.
Tang Gui's heart suddenly shuddered.
The strength of the giant ape exceeded his expectations.
Along the way, although Chi Pei had repeatedly mentioned that the Blood-Eyed Divine Ape was physically strong, had immense strength, and its strength was far beyond other demon beasts of the same realm.
But when he really faced it, he deeply realized the power of the Blood-Eyed Divine Ape.
As a late-stage Divine Transformation cultivator, his realm was equal to that of the Blood-Eyed Divine Ape, which was a peak fifth-order demon beast.
However, his natal magic weapon could not withstand a single blow from the giant ape.
Seeing that the coffin was about to hit the two, Sang Bu had already summoned a shield at some point.
The shield was more than ten feet high, and slammed into the coffin with a bang.
The two magic weapons collided, and the violent impact offset the giant force exerted on the coffin by the giant ape, and Tang Gui took control of the coffin again.
However, at this time, the giant ape's attack came again, and it was both palms falling at the same time, falling on the coffin and the shield respectively, and the two were shot away at the same time.
Tang Gui and Sang Bu had already seen the terrifying power of the giant ape, and expected that their magic weapons would be out of control, and moved their bodies nimbly to avoid the smashed treasures.
However, they were therefore exposed to the giant ape without any defense.
