Chapter 82, Do You See Me Laughing Along?
Translator: Tamon
A kilometer away, on a peak, the white old ape hid in a bush with an odd bow and a bone arrow aimed at Xiao Qiu.
Since the snake didn’t die, he’d handle the human.
…
Xiao Qiu was covered in blood and kneeling from his wounds. The monkeys shrieked in joy as they danced around his stuff from the spilled storage bag.
A white dress stood out from all the items.
“Give it…” Xiao Qiu’s crying halted and widened in shock.
His expression became blank like he lost his mind.
He stood up and spoke coldly at them. “Do you see me laughing along?”
Xiao Qiu’s tone flipped, and even his attitude changed.
“Ki~!”
A long-arm ape taunted by wearing the white dress.
Xiao Qiu’s eyes were cold as ice as wild energy covered him.
“You’re dead!”
Howling, he turned into a rock. Crimson stone covered him in layers as he grew to the height of four meters, a giant.
The stone form’s cracks spewed fire like a raging inferno.
Whoosh~
He vanished from his spot and rushed with uncanny speed as he barreled like a runaway meteor straight ahead.
The monkeys couldn’t even react.
Bang!
The boom sent the mocking gibbon hurtling through the air in the form of guts, limbs, and blood. It rained down on the survivors, on the horrified faces, just as the shockwave vaporized them as well.
“Ki~!”
The remaining gibbon’s eyes were bloodshot having lost its mate.
It swallowed a fruit and the veins on its body bulged as it released a violent aura, its power growing on the cusp of reaching a great demon’s.
“You’re all going to die!”
Xiao Qiu roared, his small hand growing ten times in size, covered in lava, and swept the front.
The remaining monkeys were sent flying, broken and bleeding. Even the berserk gibbon got half of its body blown up.
“This…” Xu Hei was dumbstruck.
[How did the loser Xiao Qiu become so wild?]
Xu Hei widened, noticing the familiar dress, Yin Ling’s. The diary said he spent fifty spirit stones on it.
[Oh, I get it, a simp’s outrage.]
Whoosh~
A bone arrow whistled through the air, straight for Xiao Qiu.
Xu Hei was on guard against the old ape, sending through his Divine Sense, “Hidden weapon!”
Xiao Qiu reacted on time not to dodge, but to grab it.
Wham!
Xiao Qiu’s rock hand broke apart, losing its flesh and blood. All that remained were the bones holding the bone arrow tight.
“Go!” He growled and flung it.
Whoosh!
The bone arrow traveled with insane speeds to its origin, locking on its target and sinking into a bush.
All that came from it was a muffled sound, but Xu Hei knew the old ape suffered for it.
The lack of any cry of pain, or panic, proved the deadliness of the old ape.
“After it!”
Xu Hei sent two stonemen over. He was only at a third of his power, but he still had his puppets.
A shame that the old ape had long since fled.
With one arm nothing but bones and another turning thicker and bigger, Xiao Qiu kept hunting down the monkeys.
When the pack was finished off, only a few escaped.
Xiao Qiu’s vision went black and collapsed face-first. He shrank down and the crimson rocks faded.
Xu Hei came over to check on him, finding him spent of Spiritual Energy, having leaked from the wound in his right arm.
“It erodes Spiritual Energy. Just what is it made of?”
Xu Hei was stunned.
He blocked with his tail but it still shook him hard. The bone was deadly.
It only worked to reaffirm Xu Hei’s thirst for the ape’s death.
[The old ape has to die and take away the bone arrows.]
Xu Hei sank underground and arrived where the old ape was hit.
The base of the bush had footprints, white fur, and blood.
Xu Hei gathered the fur and blood.
He wasn’t certain they belonged to his target. If it were Xu Hei, he’d never leave such obvious clues.
It was also possible the ape was in too much of a rush to pay attention.
“The old ape is shrewd and might’ve used some other demon’s blood to fool me.” Xu Hei was on high alert, not trusting anything.
He dug up the surrounding soil, bush and everything. No matter how careful the old ape was, it had to have left at least its scent behind.
Unable to give chase now didn’t mean the opportunity wouldn’t come later.
Xu Hei returned and took Xiao Qiu to the cave.
The array brought him no little amount of safety.
Xu Hei hesitated as he looked at the bony right hand.
The Severed Arm Reconstruction pill he got from Augury Sect could handle it, but it was as valuable as a Foundation Establishment, not to mention only having one.
It could handle even two missing arms with ease, but it felt such a waste.
After thinking it over, he threw Xiao Qiu in the cave next door.
“Xu Bai, can you heal him?” Xu Hei asked.
Xu Bai glanced at the bone hand and nodded. “Sure can. I’m the best at healing!”
“Then he’s in your hands.”
“I promise to make his right arm as good as new.”
Xu Bai’s was eager to do it. It just so happened she was missing some test subjects for her recent refining.
Xu Hei returned to his cave and took out many pills and a pile of spirit stones.
He was going to recover and go for the 9th layer Awareness Stage!
Silavin: Guys, sad to say, but we are dropping this novel. There is another group that is currently translating this. It’s edited MTL, but the quality is decent and their release rate is also much faster than what the translator can pump out each week.
We could try to compete like Fated Villain, but, that would require me to put more attention on this. I’m already stretched out as is.
