Shennong Dao Master

Chapter 1875: Chapter 17: Gathering the Four Great Rain Stones, Rain Immortal Festival Sacrifice! (Part 3)

As long as it doesn’t interfere with my actions, I don’t have such a strong curiosity.

"His Highness is here!"

After waiting for a long time in front of the Demon Cave Square, the Demon Ape Prince finally appeared.

Zhao Xing noticed that its aura was a bit unstable, mixed with a trace of Evil Qi, as if it had just fought a fierce battle.

"The Prince seems even redder today." Ji Yuan communicated through the cause and effect connection, "Is it having a fever?"

"External Qi is bright, internal Qi is hot and dry, resulting from a rising Heart Fire." Qi Tian speculated, "He must have just fought a battle, and the result wasn’t very good. At least not what he wanted."

Yang Baihe remained silent; in his current state, many of the historian’s skills were difficult to utilize.

"From today, you will all become my Blood Demon Guard!" the Demon Ape Prince growled, "I will select three Deputy Commanders from among you!"

"Cooperate with ’Zawa’ to execute a great and glorious mission!"

"Becoming a Blood Demon Guard Deputy Commander will grant you endless wealth, treasures, and spouses."

"For example, these."

The Demon Ape Prince kicked aside a few boxes at his feet.

"Clatter~"

The boxes opened, brilliant light shining forth, revealing premium-quality Boundary Stones, including many Guyu Stones, Rainstorm Stones, Mei Rain Stones, and Cold Rain Stones.

Zhao Xing’s eyes widened instantly.

"Becoming a Blood Demon Guard Deputy Commander is simple; you just need to be able to harm Zawa! Even if it’s just pulling out one hair!"

"Who has the courage to step forward first and challenge?"

The Demon Ape Prince pointed at the white-haired Demon Ape beside him, with exaggerated muscles, wearing fragmentary armor, and wielding a giant hammer.

The latter stepped forward in response, roaring menacingly at the three thousand strong army.

It brought heavy pressure, but it did not scare everyone.

"Roar~!"

The first roar soon emerged from the ranks, standing out amidst ’Zawa’s’ sonic intimidation.

The ranks parted, revealing the first challenger—a beast covered in red fur, with a cow-like head and horns, yet possessing the body of an ape.

"Is it a hybrid of the Desert Sea Blood Bull Clan and the Demon Ape Clan? How’s that possible?" Ji Yuan was puzzled but greatly shaken.

"In the 1.1 billion-year-old Origin Realm, the origins between species were still quite similar, allowing for seamless interbreeding." Qi Tian explained, "There are many things you haven’t seen yet."

"The bull-ape hybrid is probably no match." Yang Baihe analyzed, "This bull-ape’s strength is just a normal ’Tao Domain Realm Perfection,’ far from reaching the Invincible Dao Domain Realm level."

The Invincible Dao Domain Realm is something like Du Yun’s level, basically nonexistent in the Spirit Void Origin Realm.

"Captain, you haven’t seen him in action; how do you know his strength?" Ji Yuan curiously asked.

"Evolution leaves historical traces on him; I can see his past battles." Yang Baihe said. "When leaving the Blood Demon Cave, I looked over all three thousand Blood Demon Guards."

"Even that white-haired Demon Ape ’Zawa,’ with his weapons and Secret Techniques, is far from invincible."

"Only the Prince is somewhat close to that level."

The fact indeed turned out as Yang Baihe had predicted.

The white-haired Demon Ape didn’t even use a weapon; with one swift step, it grabbed the opponent’s horns with its left hand, forcefully pressing down.

"Boom!" The ape-bull hybrid was slammed to the ground, its bravado instantly dissipating, unable to rise again.

The ape-bull hybrid was defeated with just one move after stepping out.

"Captain is truly amazing." Ji Yuan said, "That white-haired beast is really strong too."

Comparing him to demon beasts, Yang Baihe was momentarily unsure if Ji Yuan was praising or criticizing.

"Captain, after looking over everyone, have you noticed anything special about Yan Lingjun?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Nothing particularly noteworthy." Yang Baihe shook his head, "But his body seems to have been injured."

Zhao Xing appeared thoughtful.

"Look, the second challenger!"

"Defeated again! Still with one move!"

...

The white-haired Demon Ape faced ten rounds of challenges consecutively.

Each time, it defeated its opponent with a single move, without even using weapons.

The talents the Demon Ape Prince selected were indeed geniuses, but most were from the Lower Realm. Compared to the white-haired Demon Ape ’Zawa,’ who was born in the Upper Realm, accustomed to using treasures, and groomed by masters, there was still a significant gap.

Zhao Xing kept waiting; he certainly wanted to secure that Deputy Commander position but not as the first.

Moreover, he had a feeling that Yan Lingjun might step in.

He could observe him first.

.....

"Boom!!"

Soon, the white-haired Demon Ape achieved fifty-seven consecutive victories.

Fewer and fewer dared to challenge.

Until a wolf clan member with a back full of silver spikes, and encircled by the origin paths of wind and gold, appeared.

"Boom!!"

The Silver Back Stabbing Wolf relied on its agile body and swift speed, lasting over ten moves in the white-haired Demon Ape’s hands.

Its speed was on par with the white-haired Demon Ape, and after activating its innate talent, its speed could even surpass that of the white-haired Demon Ape.

It was precisely by relying on this that, after over ten moves, it found an opportunity, enduring damage, and using its spikes to forcibly scrape a tuft of hair from the white-haired Demon Ape’s chest during its attack gap.

According to the Demon Ape Prince’s rules, this guard named ’Youyou Wolf’ became the first Deputy Commander!

Afterward, almost no guards dared to challenge again, as everyone had fully witnessed the white-haired Demon Ape’s strength.

Without reaching the required level, it’s unnecessary to endure such hardship.

"Do you all lack even the courage to fight?" After a moment of silence, seeing no more challengers, the white-haired Demon Ape roared.

This roar indeed brought out two challengers.

Yan Lingjun and Zhao Xing.

The two flew out one after another.

"Very well, you go first." The white-haired Demon Ape pointed its thick finger at Yan Lingjun.
