Chapter 152 Caught in the Net
Chapter 152 Caught in the Net
Upon hearing this, the mighty monkey's hair stood on end.
"Are you trying to double-cross me?"
The Mighty Monkey King looked at the Axe-Wielding Mantis and sneered, "We are both mid-stage Devouring Essence Realm demon beasts; the outcome is still uncertain!"
As he spoke, the demonic energy within the Mighty Monkey burst forth, surging forth like water from a dam, threatening to fill the valley in an instant.
Even now, the mighty monkey still believes that the mantis was trying to steal from him.
After all, as beings of the third realm, they would all die no matter how many people from the first or second realm came.
It's like two tigers fighting, while the rabbits on the sidelines can only watch.
But the mighty monkey couldn't understand why the axe-mantis needed things like city resources.
Keep in mind that the Mighty Monkey is not weak to begin with, and even if the Mantis could defeat it, it would at least be seriously injured.
What happens after a serious injury?
Devouring the body of the Mighty Monkey will not provide much of an improvement.
Reaching the third realm and advancing to the level of a great demon is no easy feat; it's not something that can be achieved simply by devouring one or two demonic beasts of the same realm.
Rather than being severely injured and on the verge of death in a 50/50 situation, it would be better to follow the previous advice and plunder resources together to attack cities; that would be the right path.
That's why the Mighty Monkey was willing to come along with the Mantis.
Its plan was to divide the so-called ore with the axe-mantis and then attack Jianshui City together.
Who knew that the axe mantis would try to kill it?
"You're incredibly stupid!" With that thought, the Mighty Monkey conjured a phantom image of a monkey roaring to the sky with its right fist and slammed it hard into the axe-wielding mantis in front of it.
The reason why the mighty monkey was able to come was not only because it believed that the mantis wouldn't lie to it, but more importantly, because it was confident.
Confidence in one's own abilities!
As a powerful beast at the Devouring Essence Realm, it is second only to one demon and above all others in the entire Red River Prefecture.
Why would the mighty monkey be afraid?
However, just as he was about to throw a punch, the mighty monkey's eyelids twitched, and he felt a sense of life-or-death crisis.
The mantis and hedgehog in front of it didn't move at all, staring at it with eerie eyes like statues.
"There's a problem!"
The mighty monkey's eyes widened, and in an instant, it withdrew its fist, causing a surge of demonic energy to churn within its body.
After retracting its fist, it did not hesitate and immediately flew into the sky.
Its instincts told it that if it didn't escape, it would likely die!
But just then, a cheerful voice came from below: "What a clever monkey."
who?!
Without turning around, the mighty monkey scanned the area with its divine sense and immediately realized that the one who spoke was the bone monster who was only at the first level of cultivation.
At the same time, countless mycelia emitting white light appeared out of thin air and wrapped around the body of the Mighty Monkey.
"What kind of power is this?!"
In an instant, the mighty monkey felt all the divine sense and demonic energy it had been emitting shrink back into its body.
"This is not your power!!!"
It roared, but the sound was compressed inside its body and could not be heard from the valley.
Then, its body fell from the sky, bound by mycelium, and landed on the ground.
"Boom!"
Smoke and dust rose everywhere.
At this moment, a mere mortal could easily poke it and plunge a sword into its eye, shattering its brain.
"Axe and blade! I have no grudge against you, why have you harmed me?!"
"Aren't you afraid of being blamed by the Plague God Sparrow and the Red River Dragon Python?!"
"Mighty Monkey said angrily."
However, its voice also carried a barely perceptible hint of fear.
"Yes, you're right," the axe-mantis sighed. "You haven't offended me, nor have you offended my master, but you have offended my great master."
As it spoke, it stepped aside, and then Liu Jianjian stepped forward.
"Sorry, little monkey." Liu Jianjian raised an eyebrow and said with a grin, "Little hedgehog now has a very powerful master. Since you've offended him, I have no choice but to make you call him 'Big Master' too!"
As she spoke, Liu Jianjian formed hand seals, her long black hair rose without wind, and her demonic aura surged. She softly uttered, "Refine!"
The next moment, countless demonic energies transformed into purple chains, binding the Mighty Monkey King.
Some special red patterns appeared on the chains, emitting a faint glow.
"You—" the mighty monkey began to curse, but the mycelium filled its mouth, rendering it unable to speak.
However, its demonic energy surged violently, seemingly resisting Liu Jianjian's refining process.
Liu Jianjian's face paled, and she snapped, "You talk too much!"
She immediately began to concentrate on refining the mighty monkey, and even the axe-wielding mantis was retracted into her hair.
At the same time, Zhu Ge also released his control over the Fungus God Annihilation Array.
The mycelium slowly dissipated.
Zhu Ge controlled the bone monster clone to step forward and examine the enormous Mighty King Monkey in front of him.
The Great King Monkey is normally four or five meters tall, as tall as a two-story building.
In battle, it can grow to tens of meters in height, like a building, and it has great strength.
The punch it threw earlier also subtly hinted at the outward manifestation of its "intention".
Of course, in terms of talent, it may not be as good as the Scizor.
The mantis doesn't manifest any "intention," but its strength is roughly the same as that of the mighty monkey.
If the Mantis can manifest its "intention," its strength will undoubtedly increase significantly.
"You continue refining here, I'm going to eat some bones." Zhu Ge glanced at the chains, then turned and walked towards the wooden house.
These chains should be a manifestation of the power of "The Demon Hunting Divine Technique" at a certain stage.
Judging from Liu Jianjian's appearance, although she was still struggling a bit, it was no longer as difficult as refining the axe-mantis.
With Hua Liusha guarding the outside, Zhu Ge felt at ease.
"Splash—"
After Zhu Ge's bone monster clone arrived next to the hut, it leaped inside and disappeared into a large pile of bones.
The cave was filled with bones, which seemed to form a deep pool.
Zhu Ge used her talent as soon as she jumped in.
Skeleton manipulation!
The next moment, countless bones around him turned into nutrients and gathered into Zhu Ge's body.
"So this strange hunger manifests itself in the soul—"
Zhu Ge stopped when she felt a feeling similar to fullness emanating from the bone monster clone.
The chicken skeleton of the bone monster's clone originally had many gaps, after all, it was constantly using its second talent, White Bone Refinement O.
But this time, Zhu Ge filled the body with all the bones, making it look like a solid skeleton statue.
"I just manipulated the Fungus God Annihilation Array, which consumed about half of the bones I ate earlier."
"But it seems I can manipulate the bone monster's clone by consuming its bones?"
After eating his fill, Zhu Ge carefully savored the song.
When he manipulated the Fungus God Annihilation Array, the energy he consumed was the bone that he had previously eaten and refined into his body, about half of it.
Half a percent!
This is no small number; it represents the bones of countless monsters that Zhu Ge has hunted down over this period of time.
However, what Zhu Ge is thinking about now is, if he could get a little bit of powder from the Bone Monster's clone and convert it into energy, how powerful would the Fungus God Annihilation Array be?
