Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Chapter 267 Water Ape
Chen Yuan was surprised and asked, "This water ape fruit can actually attract monsters?"

Yuan Lang smiled and said, "It's not to attract monsters, but to attract water apes."

"The scent of the Ahuizotl fruit is very special. Only Ahuizotl can smell it. It seems to be related to its bloodline."

"If this fruit could attract all monsters, it would have long been a treasure, used specifically to hunt monsters with powerful bloodlines."

"I heard that in ancient times there was a kind of demon-luring grass that had a great attraction to demon beasts and could even drive transformed demon beasts crazy."

"It's a pity that this magical herb has long been extinct, otherwise hunting monsters would be much easier."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly, and a vague idea came to his mind. He asked again: "After this water ape fruit matures, it should be a five-hundred-year-old spiritual herb. I wonder what kind of elixir it can be refined into?"

Yuan Lang and Li Luo looked at each other. Li Luo bowed to Chen Yuan, his armor rustling. He said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Chen, I have an unwelcome request. Can you give me these three water ape fruits? As for the water ape we attracted, its demon pills and demon beast materials will all belong to you and Brother Yuan."

Chen Yuan's eyes flickered, and he smiled and said, "What effect does this Water Ape Fruit have that makes Fellow Daoist Li so eager?"

Li Luo explained: "This water ape fruit is different from other spiritual herbs. The spiritual energy inside it is violent and fierce. It cannot be refined into a pill, and ordinary cultivators cannot swallow it directly."

“Only the demon race or physical cultivators can use the violent spiritual energy in the water ape fruit to temper their bodies. It will be useless for you to take it.”

"And I can barely be considered a half-physical cultivator, and I can barely absorb the spiritual energy in the water ape fruit. I hope that fellow Daoist can give me these three water ape fruits. I owe you a favor."

Yuan Lang said: "If you don't believe me, you can check the fruit after it matures, and you will know what Brother Li said is true."

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "How could I not believe you two Daoists? Since this Water Ape Fruit is only useful for physical cultivation, I will follow what Daoist Li said."

Li Luo felt relieved. Spiritual herbs that could strengthen the body were extremely rare. The last time Li Luo got this kind of spiritual object was more than 20 years ago. During this period, he could only use spiritual energy to warm his body, and the improvement was extremely slow.

Fortunately, he was not a pure physical cultivator, so he did not need to strengthen his body to improve his cultivation, so he did not delay his practice.

Afterwards, Yuan Lang set up a mid-level spiritual formation, and the three of them each occupied a corner of the formation, waiting for the water ape fruit to mature.

Chen Yuan sat under a coconut tree, his face calm, but his mind was filled with thoughts.

The Water Ape Fruit can only attract water apes, but the power of the stars in the sky is contained in its body. Just like the monster-luring grass in ancient times, it can attract all monsters.

The ocean is vast and monsters are hard to find. He and Li Luoyuanlang have been running around for months but still have gained nothing. If they can attract monsters by themselves, how much can the efficiency of monster hunting be improved?

There are many problems in simply using the power of the stars to attract monsters, and we need to think carefully about it, and we must not reveal it in front of Li Luo and Yuan Lang.

Chen Yuan gathered his thoughts, and took turns with Li Luo and Yuan Lang to spread out their spiritual awareness, being cautious and paying attention to the surrounding environment.

More than four months later, the water monkey fruit finally ripened. The light blue fruit turned into azure blue, like waves of water.

Yuan Lang immediately activated the formation, hiding the figures of the three people, and waited for the water ape to come.

But they waited on the island for a month, but no aquatic ape came, so they could only continue to wait.

There are not many water apes in the demon clan, and the fragrance of the water ape fruit can only diffuse within a thousand miles. If you want to sit back and wait for it to come, you need great patience.

If the water ape fruit had not been picked, it would no longer emit fragrance and the three of them would not have stayed here alone.

The three of them waited for more than two months, and at midnight one day, a water ape finally broke in.

Chen Yuan was the first to discover the water ape's tracks with his spiritual sense. This monster was blue all over, and resembled an ape, with a leopard head and an iron tail, sturdy limbs, and webbed toes. It swam quickly towards the island under the sea, with red eyes, and seemed to have lost its mind, not hiding its body at all. After a while, Yuan Lang and Li Luo also discovered the attacking water ape, and they showed joy on their faces, but did not act rashly.

The water monkey swam to the shore, soared into the sky from the water, came to the shore, and headed straight for the water monkey fruit.

"How dare you, evil beast!" Yuan Lang immediately activated the formation. A layer of light curtain rose from the ground, surrounding the island and trapping the water ape inside.

Li Luo, who was standing at the foot of the stone mountain, raised his hand and a long sword appeared out of thin air in his hand. He rushed towards the water ape and chopped it down on the head. The armor on his body rattled, as if he was a fierce general charging into battle in the mortal world, with the power to make thousands of soldiers retreat in fear!

The water ape found itself falling into a human trap, and the red color in its eyes faded a lot.

But the temptation of the three water monkey fruits was still hard to resist. It let out a shrill howl and raised its claws to face Li Luo.

clang!
The long sword was blocked by the water ape, and Li Luo flew backwards. After all, he was not a pure physical cultivator, and his strength could not compare with that of a level five water ape.

The water ape roared towards the sky, and its body suddenly grew to about three meters high. Waves seemed to be surging on its body surface, which was somewhat similar to the water ape fruit. It continued to chase Li Luo.

But at this moment, a three-clawed golden dragon flew over, roaring with tremendous force. It was Chen Yuan who summoned the Golden Dragon Sword.

Yuan Lang also controlled a green banner magic weapon, sending out hundreds of tiny wind blades, shooting at the water ape.

With the two of them working together, the frantic water ape had to retreat. Li Luo shouted, rushed forward with a knife, and fought with the water ape.

Li Luo, who usually looks calm and composed, acted like a mad tiger when facing the water ape. He attacked with his sword and did not dodge or evade the water ape's attacks. Even when he was hit by its claw, there was only a flash of light on his armor, and he was unharmed.

The three of them worked together to suppress the water ape. Yuan Lang also activated the intermediate level spirit formation, and nine fire pythons flew out, gaining the upper hand.

Chen Yuan was surprised: "Fellow Daoist Li can actually suppress a level 5 monster?"

Yuan Lang was not far away from him. Hearing this, he said, "Brother Li used the secret technique of physical cultivation, but it didn't last long. Daoist Chen, please act quickly and kill this monster!"

Chen Yuan nodded and activated the true energy in his body. The three-clawed golden dragon became more and more powerful. The dragon claws grabbed down, leaving wounds on the water ape's body.

Under the combined siege of three early Jindan cultivators and a mid-level spiritual formation, the water ape only held out for a quarter of an hour before being beheaded by Li Luo with a single strike.

Yuan Lang removed the formation and came to the water ape with Chen Yuan. Li Luo was panting and looked exhausted.

It seemed easy for the three of them to kill the water ape, but if there was no help from the formation and Li Luo to entangle the water ape, if it were an ordinary Jindan cultivator, it would take at least another half hour to delay the water ape and exhaust its demonic power before killing it.

Li Luo put away his long sword, bowed to Chen Yuan and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, I will leave the body of the water ape to you and Brother Yuan."

After saying that, he nodded to Yuan Lang, turned around and flew to the stone mountain to pick water monkey fruits.

Chen Yuan and Yuan Lang divided the demon pill and demon beast materials on the water ape. Since Li Luo and Yuan Lang were originally one, and he took away three water ape fruits, he got a great advantage, so Yuan Lang took the initiative to give the demon pill to Chen Yuan.

He took the water ape's corpse away. Its fur and blood could be used as materials for refining weapons and talismans, and could be sold for a few high-quality spirit stones.

After the division was completed, the three left the island and continued their monster hunting journey.
