Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy-Novel

Chapter 333: Blue Gorilla

Alex looked at the massive amounts of beasts down on the ground from his elevated land.

He also noticed a few people fighting the beasts. "It seems they noticed too," he thought.

On top of many of the beasts, there was a small line going across their bodies, which came to their underbelly that held a small box.

'That box must be the reason,' Alex thought and immediately started flying. However, after getting close to the monsters, he realized another problem he hadn't thought of yet.

They were all in the Meridian realm, and every single one of them could seriously injure him in a single strike.

If his body had the same cultivation base as his Qi, he might have some ease, however, with how he was now, he had no chance.

'I need to think of another way,' Alex thought. He looked for a monster that was very weak and had the weakest cultivation base of them all.

A blue-haired gorilla beast with 1st Meridian Tempering realm had the misfortune of being his target.

Alex could either try to fight the beast head-on and win the box from it, or he could sneak in and steal it.

He didn't have much time to waste and fight it, so he decided to steal it. He flew up to the highest vantage point and waited for the perfect moment.

Suddenly, he disappeared. He emerged right below the gorilla, slightly disoriented, but with enough wits to grasp the box and pull it.

However, not everything was as easy as it looked. No matter how hard he pulled the box, the ropes just wouldn't let go.

The gorilla smashed down with its giant arms, but Alex easily rolled out of its way and once again tried to pull. It didn't work.

He immediately flew away from the attack range of the blue gorilla and frowned as he looked at the others. Many other people were struggling with their beast of choice as well, and Alex realized that the other beasts were ignoring everyone else.

'Are the beasts under a trance so that they don't realize what is happening around them?' Alex wondered.

Just then, he saw a man kill the beast he was fighting. Alex was about to turn back, but he saw something interesting. After the beast dropped, the top on its rope lit up a bit and fell in two directions.

The man took the box still attached to the open ropes and left.

'So I have to kill the beasts?' Alex thought and looked towards the blue gorilla. The blue gorilla was already doing its own thing after Alex left it.

'Sigh, and here I expected to not have to fight at all,' he thought. 'Whatever, I just hope the sword lasts through it,' he thought and started moving.

As soon as he got close to the gorilla, the gorilla too got aware of his existence and started moving. It tried to walk towards him, but Alex gave no chance, he was in a hurry.

His sword shined golden and he disappeared. When he appeared, he was already below the gorilla, and he accurately hit the waist of the gorilla where the rope was.

He wanted to give one last try to see if the rope was unbreakable; it was. 'Fine then, I will kill it,' he thought and started attacking it.

Alex dashed sideways at incredible speed and slashed the gorilla on the leg. There was a slight cut on the gorilla's leg, but that was all it was.

'I'm going to have to use more than just Smiting Blade.'

The gorilla tried to smash him with its fist, but Alex had a full vision of everything that was happening around him. He immediately disappeared once again and arrived behind the gorilla where he launched the Fist attack and the Palm attack.

His body already looked like jade from using his defensive technique and he was leaving nothing unguarded by fully using his spiritual sense.

He bombarded the gorilla with attacks. The gorilla tried to swing at him with its giant hands, but Alex simply used that to jump backward.

Without wait, he put 2 fingers forward and they started to glow a little yellow. He then swiped those fingers along the side of his blade and moved the glowing sword above his head in a circular pattern.

Five glowing after images of the swords were left behind that quickly turned towards the gorilla. The gorilla showed a little fear when it saw this.

"HAH!"

Alex shouted as he let them loose. 5 energy blades blitzed their way to the blue gorilla.

BANG

Dust flew everywhere and Alex had to block them with his Qi. However, even with the dust flying, he knew, that didn't work.

An ice-clad blue gorilla appeared from the dust. 'Sh*t. It has water elemental powers,' Alex thought. The gorilla was strong than him and had probably a better water element than him. So, the ice armor, which was a sub-type of water, was capable of weakening his Penta Blade attack that was a metal-type attack.

'However, it's still hurt. Meaning, it's not that much stronger than me if I put my Qi density into account. I just need a better element,' Alex thought.

'Got it.'

He could use the Fire element to Ruin the gorilla's ice armor, but Alex didn't have any fire elemental attacks. He could use Earth Elemental attacks to Overwhelm, or at the very least, control the ice armor, but Alex didn't have that either. So, the only thing he could use was Wood Elemental attacks.

Instead of golden-yellow, his sword changed colors and it started glowing green. Alex disappeared once more and appeared right below the gorilla once more. The gorilla was prepared, but it was still too fast for it to react.

Alex swung directly into the ice armor. The ice practically broke apart at the touch of his attack and the attack itself landed on the gorilla's body.

The gorilla cried in pain and grabbed the right side of its gut where a relatively big cut had appeared.

Alex smiled and thought, 'I can kill it.'
