Roar...

After letting out a roar, several dozen Giant Apes advanced toward the group, one step at a time. Their red, bloodthirsty eyes, muscles comparable to towering granite, watermelon-sized fists...

Bloodthirsty, violent, brutal!

“Ancient Siva Apes! My God, they are all mature Ancient Siva Apes!”

“What do we do, leader, what do we do?”

...

Looking at the bloodthirsty giant apes, each one of them five meters tall, the newer hunters in the hunting team turned pale, their legs trembling, some even scared out of their wits. It was rumored that the Ancient Siva Apes was an ancient distant cousin of the Behemoth. Not only did they have immense strength, but they were also immune to most low to mid-level magical spells. They had abilities of least at level nine peak when they were mature, and it was not rare for their tribe to have Level Surpassing Magical Beasts within. Their battle capabilities were not much weaker than the Golden Behemoths.

Even though they already knew that the deeper regions of the Terras Forest were fraught with danger and had many high-level Magical Beasts lurking at every corner, no one could have expected to encounter a group of terrifying Ancient Siva Apes. Even Sword Saints and Magical Tutors were not a match for these brutal beasts. An ordinary person charging forward was akin to asking for death!

“Andrese, how many Teleportation Scrolls do we have left?” Looking at the giant apes advancing toward them one step at a time, Florence gripped tightly onto a magical scroll. In the past, she had heard from others that the Terras Forest was extremely terrifying, yet paid no heed to those words. Now, personally witnessing her guard Andrese get injured by a level nine Lightning Bird King and with all of them being trapped by the bloodthirsty giant apes, she finally understood that those people had not been exaggerating.

“None, Miss Florence, we do not have any Teleportation Scrolls left!” After wiping the blood off the side of his mouth, looking at the merciless giant apes, the heart of the black-robed man Andrese sank.

After realizing that Miss Florence had sneaked out, he had chased after her in a hurry and did not have time to bring many things. Originally, he still had three Teleportation Scrolls that were meant to save their lives within the Space Ring, but they had been used up by Florence while she was playing. He had wanted to force her to go back after letting her play for a while within the forest, but he did not expect to encounter a large group of terrifying Ancient Siva Apes!

He might be able to fight back against this bunch of violent, bloodthirsty giant apes if he mobilized all of the warriors in the family. However, the family was located tens of thousands of miles away. Even the master of the family would not be able to arrive instantly. What else could he do?

If he was not injured, Andrese was confident that he would be able to charge out of this predicament if he was alone. However, the chances of successfully escaping became slim to none if he had to bring Florence along, much less the rest of the members of the hunting team!

Just as Andrese’s expression sank and he was thinking hard for a strategy, a muscular bloke with a thick beard clenched his teeth and shot out a sharp arrow, raising his hand as he shouted, “Since there’s nowhere else to run, brothers, let’s fight it out with them!”

“Kill, fight it out with them!”

“Shoot them in the eyes, use walls of fire to inhibit their movement, quick!”

...

Under the leadership of the bearded man, the group manically shot out sharp arrows, one after the other. The Spellcasters also clenched their teeth and cast their strongest attacks, unleashing balls of fire or icicles. Unfortunately, they were unable to stop the advance of the giant apes.

Even if the giant apes were to stand still, the arrows of the group were unable to pierce through their skin, which was harder than heavy armor. The ice-cold icicles did not affect them much. Other than the few exploding fireballs, none of their attacks posed a threat to the giant apes. A few of the hunters clenched their teeth and charged forward in fear, attempting to escape through the gaps between the legs of the giant apes. However, without exception, all of them died by the hands of the giant apes that had alarming leaping capabilities.

One of the hunters was smashed into a pulp by a fierce giant ape, and another had his head crushed to pieces, fresh blood and brain matter spraying everywhere...One other hunter was even more pitiful, being torn in half after a giant ape grabbed hold of his leg. His pathetic wail chilled everyone present.

Bloody, brutal!

Looking at the near-impenetrable Ancient Siva Apes advance toward the group with their terrifying fists, the group slipped into despair. They could not beat them in battle, nor could they charge out of this embattlement, what could they do?

In their fear, no one noticed that low-level Magical Beasts like spiders, Horned Bee Beasts, and Evil Eyes had appeared in the nearby bushes. No one noticed that ripples, as well as a faint wave of energy, had appeared in the air.

After witnessing the alarming battle capabilities of the many giant apes, the newbie hunters felt their limbs turn cold as they slipped into despair. However, instead of being alarmed, Yang Ling was elated. He summoned the Corpse Wizard King, Dark Dragon King, and the rest of the group, instructing them to lay an ambush in the nearby bushes, then secretly set up a Restriction.

Currently, the Magical Beast Army had Fire Element Spellcasters that were the Burning Fire Elves, as well as flying Magical Beasts like the Horned Bee Beasts, Vampire Bats, Lightning Birds, and Twin-legged Flying Dragons. All he was lacking was offensive Magical Beasts on the ground. The blinding attacks of the Evil Eyes and Earth Spikes of the Red-haired Tarantulas could catch people off guard, but they were too slow and had rather weak battle capabilities, making them unable to pose a fatal threat to powerful enemies.

Compared to the low-level Magical Beasts like the Evil Eyes and tarantulas, the group of giant apes before him were undoubtedly extremely powerful. They had immense strength and moved as fast as lightning, and had near-impenetrable skin. If they were equipped with a layer of heavy armor, they would definitely become the heavy tanks, or human-shaped Gundams, on the battlefield. Taming several dozen of these powerful Magical Beasts at the peak of level nine would be even better than him having a thousand, or even ten thousand soldiers. It would effectively fill the gap of the Magical Beast Army lacking in land-based offensive strength.

Thump, thump, thump...

The manic attacks of the newbie hunters were unable to pose a threat to the giant apes and instead aggravated their anger. After letting out a roar, over fifty giant apes charged forward like a typhoon, running as they clobbered on their chests with force, letting out waves of dull thuds. They became manic the more they hit their chests, charging faster and faster. Their sharp canines, thick, bulging veins...They were all visible!

“Hmph, it’s great that you came!” Just as the group was scared out of their wits, Yang Ling let out a cold grunt, instantly activating the Restriction that had been boosted with the Great Wizard Seals. In that instant, most of the giant apes trembled, their speeds slowing down in an instant as if they had just stepped into a terrifying swamp.

What was even more terrifying was that a large bunch of Magical Beasts suddenly emerged from behind the bushes, treetops, and pebbles. The apes could deal with the poisonous stingers of the Horned Bee Beasts and the Earth Spikes of the tarantulas, but the attacks high-level Magical Beasts such as the Twin-legged Flying Dragons, mutated Flying Spiders, and Dark Dragons made them squeal in pain.

After ordering the Corpse Wizard King to command the Magical Beast Army and getting them to surround the trapped giant apes, Yang Ling pounced straight for the few agile giant apes that had jumped out of the Restriction the instant it was activated. It was rare to find such powerful Magical Beasts, letting even one of them escape would be an immense loss!

Roar...

Yang Ling had just pounced forward when a few bloodthirsty giant apes manically charged toward him while roaring. Even though they did not know what was going on with the Restriction in front of them, they had instinctively felt a strong sense of threat, understanding that their partners had accidentally stepped into the trap Yang Ling had planted. In their fury, they brutally unleashed a torrent of attacks, wanting desperately to tear Yang Ling to pieces.

“Hmph, let’s see whose fists are harder. Let’s see whose strength is greater!” Yang Ling let out a cold grunt, not avoiding the watermelon-sized fists of the giant apes, charging forward without fear.

After cultivating the Body Honing Wizard Mantra and having his physical body strengthened time and time again, his physical defenses had reached an alarming stage even without casting the Ground Guardian or wearing the Ice-sealing Throne. Even the Level Surpassing Magical Beast Dark Dragon King was unable to pose any lethal threat to him and these giant apes were only at the peak of level nine. On the contrary, he could test out his techniques on these creatures and see just how strong his physical body had become!

Thump...

After taking the fist of a giant ape head-on, Yang Ling’s body shook while the other party was blasted away by his fist. Surprisingly, the giant ape once again pounced toward him after getting up and letting out a roar. Even though its power was a little weaker compared to the Dark Dragon King, its physical resistance seemed to be as strong as the Dark Dragon King. It was like a robot that has its motor running, or a cockroach that refuses to die. At the same time, the rest of the giant apes had surrounded Yang Ling.

With his powerful physical body and exceptional speed, Yang Ling engaged in an agitated battle with the giant apes, not wearing the Ice-sealing Armor nor using his evasion techniques. The battle raged on, with Yang Ling’s heavy attacks causing the giant apes to cry out pathetically, his lightning-fast speed leaving behind images in the air. Punching, kicking, elbows... He used all of the techniques in his arsenal, exquisitely displaying the powerful close combat abilities of a Wizard Warrior. He split open the thick hide of the giant apes, causing them to bleed.

Under the effects of the Restriction, the rest of the forty giant apes had a drastic reduction in their power and speed and were trapped by the Magical Beast Army led by the Corpse Wizard King and Dark Dragon King. The Thousand-faced Mink conjured a large number of illusory bodies by copying the Dark Dragon King and Flying Dragon King. It even conjured a few dozen identical giant apes, instructing them to beat up the giant apes trapped within the restriction. The Purple Rat Little Ice was even more scheming, using its high speed to jump around within the chaos of the Magical Beast Army, shooting out a mouthful of chilly air and turning giant apes that were caught off guard into popsicles whenever it saw an opportunity.

After slipping into the Restriction and the heavy ambush of the Magical Beast Army, faced with the tidal assault of the countless Magical Beasts, faced with their insane, torrential barrage, the giant apes lost all advantage, unable to charge out no matter how hard they tried. They had originally wanted to capture the twenty hunters that had barged into the forest as a meal, but unexpectedly, they had carelessly become the prey of Yang Ling!

Is he still a small merchant?

Looking at the large group of Magical Beasts swarming out from all directions, looking at the giant apes unable to fend off the attacks, looking at Yang Ling displaying his skills outside the Restriction, the newbie hunters were shocked and unable to come to their senses for the longest time. This was especially so for the beautiful young lady Florence. She could never have expected that the chef she was desperately trying to pull into her group was, in fact, such a powerful expert!

Roar...

Just as the few dozen giant apes lost all advantage and the group was heaving a sigh of relief, a low, powerful roar came from the distance. Following which, a giant ten-meter-tall Ancient Siva Ape leaped out from the dense forest, covering a distance of ten meters with every step, quickly getting closer. It threw out truck-sized rocks from far away, almost crushing the twenty newbie hunters into a paste.

Level Surpassing Giant Ape King?

Looking at the giant ten-meter-tall Ancient Siva Ape and the large bunch of giant apes behind it, feeling the pulsing, almost suffocating ripples of energy coming from within its body, Yang Ling trembled, realizing that the terrifying Level Surpassing Giant Ape King from the memories of the level nine Lightning Bird King had finally rushed over!
