Chapter 1216: Surprising Yield
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The armor plate hit the ground, flesh and blood exposed, as if its skin had been ripped off.
The knife marks on the throat and chest were fatal.
Just like that, the Armored Ape King died a gruesome death without even knowing what hit him.
One strike, one instant kill!
“Good weapon! Even better wielding technique!”
Chen Xiaobei held up the Dragon’s Edge with both hands and examined it. Since its fortification, there were not much physical changes to the saber. One of the newer features was the brilliance that twirled endlessly like a gust of wind wrapping itself in a black space.
When Chen Xiaobei wielded it, the gust of wind would transform into a deadly tornado, making his battles as easy as he had expected it to be.
Chen Xiaobei then reached into the bodies of the Armored Apes, and dug out the Beast Cores. The larger one belonged to Armored Ape King, which was Silver-grade; and the smaller one belonged to the Ape Soldier, which was Platinated-bronze-grade.
While he was doing that, Chen Xiaobei also used the Chaos Blood Sword to absorb their blood essences and souls. The energy stored inside the swords were about 80,000 combat power.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe then left the Armored Apes’ bodies on the ground as they were because Gu Congwen had said that a damaged Demonic Beast was worthless and the bodies were solid evidence that Chen Xiaobei had killed the Armored Ape King anyway.
When Chen Xiaobei was fighting the Armored Ape King, the white fox hid a few hundred meters away. Doubtful that Chen Xiaobei would be able to win the battle without any trouble, it dared not approach.
There was a Chinese saying that went, ‘to know if a person is alive, we need to see them in person; to know that a person is dead, we need to see their corpse’.
If Chen Xiaobei took the body of the Ape King with him or the White fox and the rest of the Wicked Beasts would not believe that Chen Xiaobei had completed the feat of executing it.
“The Ape King’s Beat Core could increase my combat power and health by 10,000. The Ape Soldier’s could increase them by 2,000. Combined with the dozen of Black Steel Beast Cores, this was indeed a rathe profitable yield!”
Chen Xiaobei was elated with his spoils of war but he also had his reservations.
“I have the 3,000 year Ginseng Fruit, and if I add that to my current 2,070 years, I can use the Blood Descendants’ Dark Powers once! I will need collect more Beast Cores! It’s easy to get them anyway. What’s difficult is adding years to my lifespan. Let’s hope that Old Leader completes the 3,000,000 words so that I can get the next Ginseng Fruit!”
Instead of rushing to spend his haul, Chen Xiaobei practiced a careful approach to his situation. He put the Beast Cores away and left the cavern to meet with the white fox at the rendezvous point to deliver the news.
“What?! You did it? How is that possible?!”
The white fox dared not believe what it was told.
“If you don’t trust me, then just pretend I didn’t say anything. See you when I see you!”
Chen Xiaobei shrugged and turned to leave.
The body was where it was, and the truth would be made known sooner or later. The public would soon know about the Armored Ape King’s death.
Chen Xiaobei was not in the mood to try to convince white fox. He chose to let it savor the shock on its own when it learns of the truth itself.
“No! No! It’s not that I don’t trust you!” The white fox tried to explain. “It’s just that, that was too fast! It’s like nothing happened… It’s naturally quite unbelievable…”
Chen Xiaobei had indeed killed the Armored Ape King within seconds. The entire operation took less than a few minutes, and not a stir was made.
It was only normal that the white fox found it hard to believe.
“I won’t repeat the same thing thrice. The metal-skinned monkey is dead!”
Chen Xiaobei walked away.
“Please stay!” The white fox quickly said, “Please just wait here for 3 minutes. I have something that I’d like to give to you!”
“Give me something? What is it?”
Chen Xiaobei did not expect the white fox to repay him in any way and the fox’s sincerity surprised him.
White fox ran off without answering Chen Xiaobei’s question.
…
In less than 2 minutes, the white fox returned with something in its mouth!
“A Storage Bracelet?!” Chen Xiaobei’s eyes sparkled.
“Mm!” White fox handed the Storage Bracelet over to Chen Xiaobei and said, “I saw the Ape King’s body! You did it! On behalf of all the Wicked Beasts who hates waging wars, I thank you!”
“Alright, enough with the formalities. What about this bracelet?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
“I regret to say that we, the normal Wicked Beasts have always been oppressed by the Demonic Beasts. We don’t have anything much we can give you. This bracelet belonged to the Ape King! There are a lot of items stored inside. Please take it as ou humble thank you gift!”
“The Ape King’s Storage Bracelet?”
Chen Xiaobei furrowed his brows. Why had he not noticed it earlier?
White fox explained, “This bracelet belongs to a Northern Wilderness soldier. It was too small for the Ape King so he kept it hidden inside the cavern. I accidentally saw it only once but I still remember where it was hidden!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“No wonder I didn’t notice it just now!”
In fact, the white fox did not have to compensate him in any way. He could have taken the bracelet for himself. This was the Ape King’s bracelet after all! It must be full of valuables and resources! But this fox did something so selfless that even a human being would have found it difficult to do,by giving it to Chen Xiaobei!
This white fox may be a Wicked Beast, but it was earnest – a rare trait.
“Alright, I won’t refuse your kindness.” Chen Xiaobei took the Storage Bracelet and said, “Allow me to remind you that this peace is only temporary. If the Temple is not dealt with, they will bring in new a new hoarde of Demonic Beasts.”
“I’m aware of that. We will take this brief moment of peace to find a safe dwelling. Since we can’t fight them, we’ll have to hide!”
“Hmm, good. See you!”
Chen Xiaobei bid his goodbyes before stepping onto the Somersault Cloud and flew up.
He was obviously touched by the white fox’s earnesty.
In the future, if fate allowed them to meet again, Chen Xiaobei would be more than happy to cross paths with this White fox.
…
In the thickness of the clouds, Chen Xiaobei returned to the place where he first came to Northern Wilderness Starfield.
The secret place in the cave behind a curtain of water.
Chen Xiaobei had previously marked this place with the Returning Bracelet so that when he returned from earth, he could just get back to this place, hassle-free.
But before he returned to earth, Chen Xiaobei still had some things that needed to be attended to.
“The first to do is to check my spoils, of course!”
Chen Xiaobei sat on the grass in the secret place and took out Ape King’s Storage Bracelet!
