Chapter 268: Frisky Monkey, I Found You a Companion

Edited by Aelryinth

The Mutated Giant Ape locked its gaze onto Zhang Che, scaring him so much that he turned tail to run.

Zhang Che immediately summoned the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus with a wave of his hand, letting the latter stand between him and the exotic beast. At the same time, he had the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon and Purple Crystal Tortoise guard his sides, while the Unicorn guarded the front, ready to unleash its lightning attack at any moment.

“I should be safe now, right?”

With four capable babies guarding around him, Zhang Che finally heaved a long sigh of relief.

The Scarlet Flame Drake grew furious after it was sent flying by the Mutated Giant Ape, and let out a cry. It stood back on its feet, opening its mouth without any hesitation and breathed a column of flames at the Mutated Giant Ape.

This was an innate fire elemental attack; even if the Mutated Giant Ape could absorb some of the elemental attack, it would definitely still be hurt.

It immediately sensed the threat it posed. At this crucial moment, it actually rolled away nimbly despite its size, narrowly dodging the Scarlet Flame Drake’s flame attack.

A terrifyingly high temperature spread out in all directions. The surrounding snow instantly evaporated, raising large amounts of vapor in the air, shrouding the surrounding few dozen meters in fog.

-Shit!- Zhang Che cursed inwardly. In the next moment, he heard the Scarlet Flame Drake letting out a miserable howl. Its majestic figure directly flew out of the mist, landing about a dozen meters away, its entire chin smacked askew.

If it wasn’t for the Scarlet Flame Drake’s decent defense, that punch might have severely wounded it.

“Oh shit, isn’t this giant ape a little too much? It’s like the bane of elemental-type exotic beasts!”

While he was surprised by the sight, he saw a white silhouette suddenly flying out of the mist, pouncing towards him.

-Not good!- Zhang Che’s heart thumped heavily. The Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus guarding in front of him immediately swung his thick, strong tail, whipping it at the approaching Mutated Giant Ape.

At the same time, an electric light appeared on the Unicorn’s spiral horn, shooting a streak of dazzling lightning at it.

Not only that, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon also breathed out several streams of darkfiend frozen air, but he was aiming at the area in front of Zhang Che. If the Mutated Giant Ape continued charging straight ahead, the extremely cold air would slow it down.

How fast was the speed of lightning? The Mutated Giant Ape couldn’t dodge the attack at all, landing a clean hit on its body. Even though its snow white fur quickly emitted that dark, gloomy glow, it was still injured pretty badly by the lightning. A portion of its fur was charred, its large body stopped moving for a second.

The Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus’ huge tail reached its target first despite being the second to throw an attack, slamming into the Mutated Giant Ape’s body.

Given the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus’ frightening strength, the Mutated Giant Ape immediately let out a miserable howl after it was struck, directly flying about a dozen meters out!

A streak of bright red blood spewed out of the Mutated Giant Ape’s mouth, dying the white fur on its chest a mottled red.

“Hmm, it’s not like a martial artist is unbeatable,” Zhang Che sighed with relief, a faint smile showing on his face. Before the Purple Crystal Tortoise could supplement all this with an attack of its own, the fallen Mutated Giant Ape quickly jumped back to its feet following its rolling momentum on the ground. It looked to the sky and let out a furious roar, its huge body immediately turning into a blur, pouncing forward again.

“Shit, are you an unkillable cockroach?!” Zhang Che shivered in fright.

The Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus’ tail whip had at least ten tons worth of force behind it, and yet this fellow only spat out a mouthful of blood and shrugged it off!

Wasn’t it said to be lacking in defense?

Was that a bluff?!

The Unicorn’s Lightning of Purification skill was already used, the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus and Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon were evidently unable to stop this fellow’s charge. Zhang Che could only grit his teeth and get ready to activate the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s skill, killing it with a bombardment of flying spears.

What a pity; if he could tame it as his pet, it would be another great combat force!

However, the Mutated Giant Ape didn’t directly charge towards Zhang Che this time. Instead, it rushed up to the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus’ side, its iron fists turned into two blurs, hurling them onto the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus’ body.

A wave of concentrated dull sounds rang out, like a heavy hammer beating on a broken drum.

The Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus was caught by surprise and didn’t manage to activate his Absolute Defense skill. The flurry of punches from the Mutated Giant Ape actually left the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus swaying left and right, nearly falling to the ground despite weighing a few tons!

“What a fierce fighter!” Zhang Che sighed reluctantly once more. With a wave of his hand, the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus turned into a streak of light and flew back to his spiritual sea.

At the same time, the Purple Crystal Tortoise suddenly opened its mouth, activating its Rock Spear Gatling skill. It directly spat out all hundred and eight of the ferocious beast’s bone spikes in its spatial pocket, shrouding the Mutated Giant Ape’s surrounding dozen meters in missiles.

The spears it shot out were flying much faster than the speed of sound. No matter how agile the Mutated Giant Ape was, it would be impossible for it to dodge the attack.

Zhang Che watched as the Mutated Giant Ape quickly moved about, but it was still struck by over a dozen bone spikes, punching hole after hole through its body, turning it into a sieve. Nearly all the holes punched through its body were connected, a mist of blood spattering out, dyeing the surrounding snow bloody red.

The Mutated Giant Ape let out a reluctant roar, and its upright body fell backwards.

“No matter how good your martial arts are, you’re still vulnerable to a kitchen knife! Not to mention the supersonic projectiles countless times stronger than a kitchen knife!” A faint smile appeared on Zhang Che’s face. He slowly walked forward, staring at the Mutated Giant Ape, who was now lying in a pool of its own blood. He was still afraid that this fellow would suddenly jump up and throw a punch at him.

Thinking of that, he decided to activate the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s Purple Crystal Armor skill, donning a thick layer of purple tortoise shell armor. That way, he didn’t have to worry about the possibility of the Mutated Giant Ape making a desperate counter attack before its death.

Now, he only hoped that this fellow’s life force was strong, not dying immediately.

Luckily, under Zhang Che’s orders, the Purple Crystal Tortoise intentionally avoided aiming for the Mutated Giant Ape’s head. Although the dozen or so bone spikes had punctured it full of holes, its head remained unwounded. It wouldn’t die for a while.

Zhang Che walked forward, releasing a thin trace of the rainbow crystal’s energy, injecting it into the Mutated Giant Ape’s body as he focused his gaze on the latter’s eyes, asking softly, “You, are you willing to become my pet?”

The Mutated Giant Ape showed no signs of agreeing, its eyes emitting strong killing intent.

Zhang Che sighed, “Looks like it’s a failure, huh?”

Suddenly, he thought of something. A streak of light shot out from between his brows. The frisky monkey appeared at his side, crying out excitedly.

“Frisky monkey, I found you a companion.”

Zhang Che slapped his palm on the jumping frisky monkey, then pointed at the latter’s tiny figure and said to the Mutated Giant Ape on the ground, “Look, isn’t this little monkey very happy? If you become my pet, you will have this little monkey accompanying you by your side. You shouldn’t feel lonely.”

The Mutated Giant Ape still showed no reactions. Instead, the frisky monkey looked at this “muscular guy” on the ground, and his ugly face immediately scrunched up, kneeling before Zhang Che with a plop, bowing with his hands held in front.

-Is this karma? Did I turn the heavens upside down or something in my past life?¹ Why did I meet such an unconscientious master? In order to tame a big guy as his fighter, he actually wanted me to betray my body!-

Zhang Che sensed the horrifying thoughts the frisky monkey had. His entire body shivered, and he raised his foot and kicked the frisky monkey to the side. Afterwards, Zhang Che looked at the dying Mutated Giant Ape on the ground once more and smiled, “How is it? Why don’t you consider it? This fellow is so cute; you definitely won’t feel bored in the future.”

The Mutated Giant Ape swept its gaze across the frisky monkey, who was rolling on the ground, throwing a tantrum, and slowly nodded.

Zhang Che was immediately overjoyed! He quickly requested the rainbow crystal imprint a rainbow talismanic rune deep into the Mutated Giant Ape’s soul, and recalled it into his spiritual sea with a wave of his hand.

From now on, Zhang Che possessed another powerful pet.

He imagined a scene of the frisky monkey wielding the Falling Star Model X, while the Mutated Giant Ape held his fists up, guarding one another’s back, nearly bursting out in laughter.

On the other hand, the pitiful frisky monkey thought that he just gained a distant relative, wondering whether he would get bullied in the future.

It didn’t matter if he was bullied; he only hoped that this distant relative of his had normal interests, or the consequences would truly be unthinkable…

Thinking of that, the Gluttony Monkey’s whole body shivered.
