CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

583 Apes

Bei Yau raised his head.

“We got information from residents, he said these couple of days there’s been attacks from weird creatures on residents’ houses near the foot of the mountain, mostly the houses owner died with the whole body oozing pus. He said most of them had fled away out of the village because it is possible that they would back and attack any time.”

Luo Xiang looked around, no wonder the path that connected to the villages are so quiet, everyone had fled from there. Luo Xiang was about to ask again when he heard a shout from the tavern’s direction.

“They’re back!” shouted one of the residents.

Everyone on the road galloped away, horses neighing loudly, vibrations clearly audible above the ground surface as if anything was coming in great numbers.

Bai Ying’s eyes went wide with a reddish glow for a moment, the birds from above the trees around them flew instantly from above the branches, something in large numbers come at once to them.

Chief soldier Bu stood guard in his place, he beckoned his men to prepare themselves and their weapons to see what would emerge from down the road.

“Get ready!”

Whatever it’s coming it looks quite scared everyone there. Everyone gulped as they felt the shaking stop and nothing appeared at the end of the road. Not even a single creature is visible from there.

.....

“Gleuk”

Cold sweat fell on Soldier Bu’s forehead. He swallowed hard to prepare for what was to come when suddenly a loud groan came from behind them.

“Ah!”

Not only from the front but from all directions. Suddenly, furry creatures no bigger than a young kid attacked from the trees and bit everyone who was caught off guard in the middle of the road.

“Ah!”

Bei Yau widened his eyes, he took out a sword from its scabbard and blended in with the soldiers overcoming anything that attacked them.

The screams were unavoidable. In an instant, the quiet place turns to full of chaos while the creatures are so fast and didn’t even let anyone prepare for their coming. Xiao Hong stand by in front of Chen Ming protecting him from the attack, his eyes flashed red, it was no ordinary creature.

“Everyone be careful, this yellow monkey is famous for its poison, one bite can kill anyone in no time!” he exclaimed.

These nimble little creatures do resemble monkeys with small size and yellow colour. Extremely powerful and agile mercilessly aiming for the necks of anyone in their reach. Even with Bei Yau’s ability he still had a hard time hitting any of the little creatures with his sword.

“Yellow monkeys, how did they get here? Damn it!” cried Bei Yau trying to hit one of the many creatures that kept coming, they were surrounded.

Bai Ying held onto the Crown Prince’s sleeve tightly.

“Your Majesty, why are they so vicious?”

Luo Xiang was ready for the attack if the monkey come to them, many of the soldiers had already fallen from the monkey’s bite.

“Ying, turn on your protective energy”

Bai Ying widened his eyes, how could he forget about it? Immediately he opened his palms to form countless yellow protective circles in no time, protecting Chen Ming and Bei Yau as well as the others within.

The yellow spheres glow so brightly to protect everyone in them. However, the sharp claws of the little monkeys seemed to be able to tear through the spheres.

Luo Xiang’s eyes went wide.

“How can they do that?”

Bai Ying turned his palm wider. His eyes shone even brighter strengthening the protective orbs. The creatures who came in very large numbers were getting out of control. Some of the biggest ones, look to Bai Ying and Luo Xiang. The one with a little red hair on the forehead. Which is probably the leader seeing the other little apes follow him simultaneously charged towards Bai Ying.

The screams of the creatures that numbered in the hundreds were loud and deafening. Even for Bai Ying and the Crown Prince who already possessed extremely high internal strength, it was still quite painful.

Luo Xiang prepared with his hands.

“Ying open the sphere, I will attack the leader,” Luo Xiang said. The biggest and stout yellow ape with a bit of red hair was the leader, he had to knock him out.

Bai Ying nodded, he brushed off to disperse the sphere just as the apes attacked. Of course, the Crown Prince’s power wasn’t just a figment, he made the wind swirl around the apes in a hot cyclone. Immediately all the apes that attacked at the same time were drawn into the cyclone without being able to escape.

The moans of the vicious creatures sounded pitiful.

The Crown Prince didn’t expend much energy pulling all the creatures in his wind, he only needed to explode his heat energy and kill them all in one hit if he wanted to.

Bai Ying’s eyes widened, and the yellow ape, all of them had the same shape and face, but one medium-sized that stood alone was staring at him with its big reddish round eyes in the distance caught his attention. Instantly his inner energy churned and made the protective sphere he cast for others slowly thin out.

“Eh, you”

Bei Yau and the others who came out of the dissipating protective energy drew closer to the Crown Prince.

“Your Majesty”

The sound of the moaning screams of the monkeys made everyone close their ears tightly. A pitiful voice that may be heard far away, they might call for help to come again.

Xiao Hong opened his palm, forming a fiery blade that swirled over his palm, it was so easy for Xiao Hong to finish them off at once, a human sword might not be able to pierce through their bodies with its shiny yellow feathers that resisted all weapons, but not the flames of the red bird.

“Let me kill them, Your Majesty, these creatures are out of control.”

The Crown Prince was about to open his whirlpool for Xiao Hong to attack, but suddenly in a vortex that was so fierce a yellow energy appeared, it was expanding so fast, pushing all the winds from the middle and gather the creatures to the centre.

Luo Xiang’s eyes went wide, that yellow energy that was shining brightly belonged to Bai Ying.

“Ying Ying, what are you doing?” cried the Crown Prince.

Bai Ying pushed away all of the Crown Prince’s wind until it disappeared completely, trapping the apes in his protective orb. Bai Ying’s eyes shone bright red. The screams of the yellow apes stopped and the creatures tried to get out of the protective circle to attack again. However, the gaze of one of the apes on the outside made them slowly stop.

Bai Ying looked at that little ape for a long time. Looking into his familiar eyes, even though, the creature that used to be very small in his arms has now turned into quite big, he still recognizes it.

“Xiao Jing”

Immediately the little ape who was standing at the end of the road ran towards Bai Ying who lowered his body and opened his arms wide.

“Ying Ying what are you doing?” shouted Luo Xiang who was ready to throw the little ape away from Bai Ying, but the white wind from Bai Ying’s body made everyone unable to attack and was slightly pushed aside to make way for the little ape to run into Bai Ying’s hands who were get ready to hug him.

The little ape jumped into Bai Ying’s arms who was holding him with a very big smile.

“Hehehe Xiao Jing, we meet again here, you’ve grown up”

Luo Xiang was shocked, he and the others couldn’t stop the creature from jumping into Bai Ying’s arms and could only look at the creature as if laughing along with the young man.

“Hahaha I miss you, you’re so cute”

Not long after. The riverbank which was calm and peaceful with all its natural beauty turned into a very messy area. There were still the groans of soldiers and residents who were bitten by the yellow apes.

Bei Yau and the head Guard Bu went around helping the injured. Meanwhile, Xiao Hong helps treat with his red fire cleaning the poison from the yellow monkey’s bite which can be dangerous if left untreated.

Some of the victims who did not survive were put in one on the other side to be buried, fortunately, not many victims fell. No matter what, the creature that from its appearance looks so cute and adorable has already made the victims fall.

Luo Xiang was standing not far from Bai Ying who was sitting with the little ape he called as Xiao Jing as if he was talking to it. As a Realm King, whose nature could never be gone from Bai Ying, he could communicate with any creature in this world. Although Luo Xiang really wanted to kill the apes who were still in Bai Ying’s protective circle, the young man forbade him to touch them.
