asty. If I hadn't touched the restriction, that wrinkled man would never have noticed anything unusual. I could have just waited for Zhao Li to come out, and then followed behind him. Things wouldn't...47 votes, a bit short of 60 votes, no more additions :(

A large number of demonic beasts gathered behind him, causing quite a commotion. Lu Xia Tian secretly rejoiced that he had left just in time. If he had hesitated for even a moment, he would have needed to expend considerable effort to break free.

Having marched for dozens of miles, another screech echoed through the air, clearer than before. It was evident that they were much closer to the demon beast. Lu Xia Tian pondered this, chin resting on his hand. He thought to himself that if he could simply approach and kill the Bone-Eating Ape directly, it would be more efficient than searching for other beasts as bait.

Thus, Lu Xia Tian continued along the rugged mountain path. The cries of monkeys became clearer, and there were more than one. There was also a sound that sounded like a horse's pained neighing, followed by a series of bangs as rocks exploded from the mountain.

When Lu Xia Tian arrived, he saw three gray-black figures, each nearly a zhang tall. They had two sharp fangs that protruded from their mouths like zombie teeth, long about several centimeters. Their white fangs were chillingly reminiscent of some vampire-like monsters. With nostrils facing the sky and eyes glowing with malice, they were indeed the skeletal apes described by Yuanshen within the Soul-Binding Pearl.

Surrounded by three bone-eating apes was a horse, covered in green scales from head to tail and with a lithe physique. It was somewhat similar to the scaled steeds described in Beast Legends!

Three bone-eating apes circled the Snake Scale Horse, their claws as sharp as hooks. Whenever the Snake Scale Horse was distracted, they would swipe at it with a claw. Each swipe left a claw mark and plucked a few scales from its body. These bone-eating apes were formidable, with two being level four and one even reaching level six. Despite three attacking one, they still couldn't bring down the Snake Scale Horse, showing just how powerful it was. Unfortunately, it had fallen victim to this onslaught of bone-eating apes. Its green scales littered the ground, and its slightly dark blood stained the earth everywhere.

Lu Xiaoteng was thinking of finding a suitable opportunity to make a move. The three Bone-Eating Apes in front of him were powerful, but they wouldn't last long under his hands.

Just as he was about to make a move, there was a loud banging sound from the towering trees on the mountain ridge. The branches swayed and shook, making a huge commotion with rustling leaves and cries of monkeys.

“There are actually other bone-eating apes!” Lu Xiaoxiao’s heart pounded. He was about to make a move, but immediately changed his mind, hiding his figure even more discreetly.

Six or seven bone-eating apes, whose strength had already reached the fifth to sixth rank, used the elasticity of the towering tree branches and their own astonishing jumping ability to continuously borrow force between the giant trees and rocks. With each leap, they covered dozens or even hundreds of meters. In the blink of an eye, six or seven huge black shadows fell from the sky, surrounding the Shelinju. The largest bone-eating ape in the middle landed directly on the back of the Shelinju, spreading its arms like a bow and roaring, pounding its palms continuously on the neck and head of the Shelinju.

The remaining skeletal apes around surged forward, one even biting down on Hebi no Kama's neck with its massive jaws and holding its belly tightly in its thick arms.

The She-scale Horse's defense was quite strong, but facing so many Bone-Eaters' attacks, it couldn't hold on for even a moment before falling to the ground with a miserable hiss.

These bone-gnawing apes were bloodthirsty and scrambled over each other

He tore at the Serpent Scale's corpse, ripping away chunks of flesh and tossing them aside. He dismantled the Serpent Scale's skeleton, and with excited snarls, he sank his teeth into one end of a bone and pulled hard.

Seeing the bone-eating apes sucking on marrow with enjoyment on their faces, Lu Xiaoteng felt a little queasy. He had seen his fair share of things over the years, but the bone-eating apes were arguably one of the most bloody and cruel monsters he had encountered. There were ten bone-eating apes in front of him, incredibly strong and brutally ruthless. In the distance, there was a faint sound of ape cries. Lu Xiaoteng held back his urge to strike until these bone-eating apes had consumed all the marrow, leaving a mess behind before scaling and leaping from the towering trees. Only then did Lu Xiaoteng reveal himself. These bone-eating apes were very strong and lived in groups. No wonder the other monsters in Yin Feng Valley dared not provoke them. It seemed that if he wanted to make a move, he had to fight quickly and decisively. Once he alarmed their entire species, the consequences would undoubtedly be terrifying.

Another rustle of sound, several wolves, monstrous beasts larger than mountain cats, came rushing over, attracted by the scent of blood. They gnawed at the flesh discarded by the skeletal ape. The flesh of She-Scale was powerful; even for these less powerful beasts, it was a great tonic.

Lu Xia Tian was not interested in these monsters. He circled the area a few times, confirming that the Skulls Ape's lair was actually on a cliff above a valley with a chilling wind and an ancient cold pond. The cliff was riddled with protruding rocks and countless large caves. They were separated by over a hundred meters, and with the strength of those Skulls Apes, they could easily jump from one side of the valley to the other. Standing near the valley, the sound of their hoofs was incessant, hundreds of Skulls Apes playing or fighting, making Lu Xia Tian break out in a cold sweat. The danger of this Yin Feng Valley was probably no less than the Mist Forbidden Land near Xuan Ye City. Even he could only be extremely careful, for if he startled these vicious beasts, once surrounded, he would likely have no way out.

Fortunately, Lu Xia Tian had temporarily confirmed the location of the bone-eating ape. After a moment's thought, he spent several more days familiarizing himself with the bone-eating ape's usual activity area and frequent haunts.

After spending two more days, Lu Xiaoteng hunted and killed two snow-eyed lions as strong as oxen. Both were fifth-order monsters with thick bones. They were one of the favorite foods of the bone-eating apes.

Having tossed the two snow leopard corpses, still half-alive, to their designated spot, Lu Xia Tian pondered for a moment before retrieving his golden puppet. He then plucked some branches and leaves, using them to cover the puppet's form.

After making all these preparations, I also restrained my aura and hid myself, then patiently waited.

The Bone-Eating Ape loves to eat the marrow of strong and robust monster bones. It took Lu Xia Tian a lot of effort to hunt down two Snow-Eyed Lions. The effect should not be bad, but the location must also be carefully considered. If it is too far from the Bone-Eating Ape's lair, the ape may not be able to smell it. If it is too close, attracting too many Bone-Eating Apes will be a waste of effort.

Luckily, I already have a certain understanding of the skeletal ape's habits these days. In this area, there are only three or five skeletal apes active at ordinary times, and those who can smell the scent are at most two or three. The number will not be more.

Lu Xia tian concealed himself on the side, like an old monk entering meditation, motionless. Until a screech of a monkey rang out again, and there was a commotion once more on the towering treetops in the distance. Lu Xia tian's eyes opened slightly, and a whole-body gray-black bone-eating ape appeared within his line of sight. A sixth-rank bone-eating ape, quite formidable!sucking mosquito demon, the eagle-bodied monster that consumed a lot of energy seemed to sense something. Its eerie eyes flickered. 。This is not to say that this eagle-bodied creature has independent...
