Chapter 89 The situation is not good
After resting for a while, Qin Yun and the others continued to get up and walk towards the middle circle.
This time, Yuan Tian and Qian Youyuan took the lead.
Sun Xiangxiang, whose cultivation was slightly weaker, walked in the middle because it was the safest place. Originally, this position should be Qin Yun's, but because Zhang Xuanxin and Qin Yun had previously agreed, they gave this position to Sun Xiangxiang.
Qin Yun and Zhang Xuanxin walked at the end, responsible for preventing the desolate beasts from ambushing them.
The deeper they went, the smaller the density of the desolate beasts. This way, the less likely the desolate beasts would appear. As long as Qin Yun and the others carefully avoided the places where the desolate beasts roamed, they could easily go deeper into the depths.
Of course, if he accidentally bumped into a desolate beast, there would be a great battle.
Right now, Qin Yun and the others were extremely unlucky. They had only walked a dozen kilometers and had actually crashed into a Third Grade Desolate Beast, the Dragon Rock Lion.
Although the Dragon Rock Lion was a relatively weak Third Grade desolate beast, its name was linked to the word dragon after all. Therefore, when it erupted, the Dragon Rock Lion possessed the strength of a peak Third Grade Heavenly Martial Sect. Furthermore, its defense was extremely strong, and its entire body was as hard as rock.
The first moment he was struck by the Dragon Stone Lion, Yuan Tian directly attacked. He brandished his two heavy axes and charged forward. He collided with this desolate beast with a formidable form. He actually managed to block the Dragon Stone Lion with his own strength.
As for Qian Youyuan, he didn't rush up to help Yuan Tian. Instead, he stood in the distance looking for an opportunity. Then, he used his long-range attacks to unleash strands of Spiritual Qi to continuously attack the weaknesses of the Dragon Rock Lion's eyes and mouth, causing it to suffer endless pain.
Zhang Xuanxin and Sun Xiangxiang were responsible for observing the situation around them to prevent people or other desolate beasts from ambushing them.
Qin Yun's task was the easiest. It was to protect himself. This was personally arranged by Zhang Xuanxin.
When Zhang Xuanxin said this, he could clearly feel the mockery on Yuan Tian and Qian Youyuan's faces.
Qin Yun smiled awkwardly. He did not refute anything. Since he was able to enjoy his leisure, there was naturally no need to cause trouble for him. To Qin Yun, face was simply an indispensable thing. Moreover, all face was not won with his mouth, but with his strength.
The bored Qin Yun naturally observed the battle between Yuan Tian and Long Yanshi. It had to be said that Yuan Tian's body was extremely strong. He brandished the two axes, and the power that erupted from it was close to 20,000 kilograms of terrifying power.
With a heavy hammer, although it was unable to break through the Dragon Rock Lion's armor, which was even harder than rock, the terrifying force caused the Dragon Rock Lion to scream wildly.
In addition, Qian Youyuan continuously used spiritual energy to hit the Dragon Rock Lion's eyes and mouth. The pain caused the Dragon Rock Lion's eyes to bleed. Finally, he let out a howl and fled into the distance.
Since they had repelled the Dragon Rock Lion, Yuan Tian and the others naturally had no reason to chase after him. After all, their target was the Berserk Giant Ape.
After resting on the spot for a moment, Qin Yun and the others continued on their way.
Fortunately, they didn't encounter any desolate beasts after walking for nearly a hundred miles, so Qin Yun and the others were much more relaxed.
Right at this moment, Qin Yun and the others finally discovered a piece of good news. That was, they saw the traces left behind by the berserk giant ape.
The soil around the mountain stream was usually soft, so it just so happened to leave behind the footprints of the Berserk Giant Ape.
When Zhang Xuanxin saw the giant footprint that was almost a meter in diameter, he immediately revealed an excited expression. After all, after walking for so long, they had finally discovered the traces of the berserk giant ape.
"Looking at this footprint, it should be an adult male Berserk Ape." Zhang Xuanxin said.
"Damn it, we finally found traces of this guy. He's really fucking hard to find." Yuan Tian smiled and scolded.
"Let's look around and see if there are any footprints like this. Maybe we can follow these footprints to find this guy's nest." Zhang Xuanxin ordered.
After that, Qian Youyuan and the others began to search around. However, Qin Yun, who was standing beside them, looked at the footprint and frowned deeply.
Generally speaking, the Berserk Giant Ape didn't like to live in groups. Unless there were special circumstances, they would usually choose to live alone. Obviously, Zhang Xuanxin and the others knew this, so they chose to find the berserk Giant Ape's nest.
However, the problem was that the footprint looked like an adult male berserk giant ape, but in reality, it was not.
Qin Yun, who possessed the perception of a True Immortal Realm, clearly discovered that this footprint was shallower than that of an ordinary adult male Berserk Ape, and it was also deeper than that of an ordinary female Berserk Ape. This made Qin Yun think of a possibility, and that was pregnancy.
In other words, the footprint in front of him was left behind by a pregnant female Berserk Ape. This created a problem, and that was the special situation mentioned earlier.
Normally, Berserk Giant Apes liked to live alone. However, once the female Berserk Giant Ape had a child, the male Berserk Giant Ape would stay by his side until the baby berserk Giant Ape was born. This was the special situation mentioned earlier.
If it was really as Qin Yun had guessed, Zhang Xuanxin and the others would most likely encounter two berserk giant apes if they went to search for the berserk giant ape's lair. With Qin Yun's current strength, it might be possible for them to deal with a berserk giant ape.
However, if they were to deal with two Berserk Giant Apes, they would not be courting death. Moreover, Berserk Giant Apes would become especially berserk during this period of time.
"I found it!"
Just as Qin Yun was deeply worried, Qian Youyuan's voice suddenly came from not far away.
Qin Yun and the others walked over and discovered that there was actually a series of footprints that led to a canyon not far away.
"The canyon ahead should be the home of the berserk giant ape. Let's go!" Zhang Xuanxin said excitedly. After she finished speaking, she directly rushed towards the canyon in front of him.
The eyes of Qian Youyuan and the others on the side shone with brilliance, and they quickly followed suit.
Just as Qin Yun was about to remind them, he discovered that they had already left, so he hurriedly followed them.
By the time Qin Yun caught up to them, they had already stopped on a big tree.
"Look at the huge cave in the canyon ahead. It must be the home of the berserk giant ape." Zhang Xuanxin pointed to the distance and said.
Qin Yun looked in the direction Zhang Xuanxin was pointing at. Indeed, there was a cave twenty meters high under the cliff of the gorge. It seemed like the place where the berserk giant ape lived.
"I'll lure it out. All of you launch a full-force sneak attack and try to severely injure it once." Yuan Tian licked his lips and smiled, his eyes filled with intense fighting spirit.
Zhang Xuanxin nodded. This was the countermeasure they had previously discussed.
Afterwards, Yuan Tian was about to charge forward, but Qin Yun pulled him back.
"Wait, let's observe it first. The situation doesn't seem to be as simple as we thought." Qin Yun said.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Tian's face became angry. He forcefully fell onto Qin Yun's hand that was placed on his shoulder and said with disdain, "Brat, if you're afraid, just say it directly. I didn't expect you to be able to help, so you should just stand aside and watch obediently!"
After he finished speaking, he ignored Qin Yun's objections and ran towards the cave in the distance.
Qian Youyuan and Sun Xiangxiang seemed to think that Qin Yun was afraid, so they said such words. With a cold snort, they quickly rushed out and prepared to set up a trap.
Even Zhang Xuanxin, who was standing at the side, frowned slightly. She glanced at him and didn't say anything. She quickly followed.
Only Qin Yun, who had a depressed expression, was left behind.
