Are you laughing at me for not having a mecha? But I am the king of mechas!

Chapter 147 Strengthening the Body, Three-Hundred-Year-Old Golden Sun Grass!
Watching Zhou Luo's departing figure, Elder Lingji chuckled: "Kid, you'll thank me later."

He had just overheard Liu Qingxue saying that Zhou Luo would be bedridden tonight. If it weren't for his sympathy for Zhou Luo, he wouldn't have told him about this treasure.

"Third Elder, the clan leader asked you to deal with the Flame Ape Beast, why haven't you done it yet?" The Second Elder passed by Ling Ji's courtyard and saw Ling Ji laughing loudly inside, then asked in confusion.

"Second Elder, you don't need to worry about it. I've already had someone take care of it."

"Sigh..." The Second Elder looked at the old rascal, his words of unspoken frustration ultimately turning into a helpless sigh.
Although Ling Ji is the Third Elder, he is highly respected and revered in the Lingren Clan. He is also a lively character, and even the clan leader sometimes has to give way to him.

Two hours later.

Zhou Luo meandered through the Lost Realm, using the map to guide him around the territories of one high-level monster after another.

Finally, they arrived at the cave that the old rascal Ling Ji had mentioned.

This is an active volcano. Zhou Luo felt a scorching heat even before entering. The temperature of this volcano was much higher than the lava inside the Blood Demon Cave.

The cave echoed with the muffled breathing of a monster. Zhou Luo focused his combat energy on his eyes, and a colossal creature came into view.

The monster was sleeping on the ground, its body swelling and contracting with each roar, reaching a height of at least ten meters even when lying down.

[Secret Realm Monster: Flame Ape Beast!]

[Level: 79, Peak!]

【Special move: unknown! 】

[Comment: Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, running away is the best!]

"The old rascal really wasn't lying to me. There really is a peak seventh-tier monster guarding it. Places guarded by high-level monsters usually have rare resources!"

Zhou Luo and Jisu Feng concealed their figures and slowly retreated. Soon, the two arrived at the entrance of an ancient, rustic blue brick road, where a stone tablet stood.

"Lost!"

Zhou Luo took out the seventh-tier monster inner core, the Flame-Melting Pearl, and its aura was instantly exposed to the air, containing enormous combat energy.

The inner core of a seventh-tier monster is extremely attractive to other monsters.

At the same time, earth-shattering roars came from all directions. All the seventh-tier monster overlords around had awakened, and the ground began to tremble slightly as these monsters approached.

Zhou Luo quickly threw the Flame-Melting Pearl into the Lost Path, and then his figure flashed and he hid.

In less than ten seconds, a colossal creature appeared where Zhou Luo had just been standing. This monster was covered in fiery red fur, which, though fur, was as hard as steel needles. This fur was their natural protective armor.

This monster is the Flame Ape Beast.

The Flame Ape sensed that the aura of the Flame Merging Pearl was coming from within the Lost Path, and a hint of fear flickered deep within its scarlet pupils.

"The intelligence of a seventh-tier monster is already similar to that of an adult, and this is a primate monster with even higher intelligence. I wonder if this guy will get lost."

Zhou Luo, who was observing from the shadows, thought to himself.

Just as Zhou Luo was pondering, several more enormous creatures appeared around him. Upon seeing the Flame Ape Beast, the creatures roared and slammed their fists into the ground in fury.

The monsters warily eyed each other with bloodthirsty eyes. There was only one Flame-Melting Pearl, but there were five monsters here.

Seeing the monsters roaring at it, which was undoubtedly a provocation, the enraged Flame Ape stood upright on the ground like a war god, its thick arms pounding its chest, producing a series of muffled sounds like war drums.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!" A burst of combat energy belonging to the peak of the seventh rank erupted. The violent combat energy caused several monsters to roar uneasily. The monsters glanced at each other, and the next moment, several pairs of bloodthirsty eyes were locked on the Flame Ape Beast.

The Flame Ape Beast was too powerful for any single beast to defeat, so several monsters chose to join forces to kill it before engaging in a final battle.

If they don't deal with the Flame Ape Beast and let it obtain the Flame Melting Pearl, its strength will break through to the eighth rank, at which point they will have to submit to the Flame Ape Beast.

This is something that the several overlord monsters cannot accept.

The Flame Ape Beast was no fool; how could it not see that several monsters were going to join forces against it? Despite this, the Flame Ape Beast remained fearless and even took the initiative to attack.

The next moment, several enormous creatures began to fight in the primeval forest.

It was a completely primal battle, full of violence and bloodshed, which made Zhou Luo's blood boil.

The immense battle energy dissipated wildly, causing the towering trees around to fall one after another, kicking up a cloud of choking dust. Even Zhou Luo, who was hiding not far away, was almost affected.

"Tsk tsk tsk, that's really fierce," Zhou Luo remarked.

Under Zhou Luo's analysis using the War King Glasses, none of the monsters' data could escape his notice.

These monsters are all seventh-tier monsters and are the overlords of the area. It will probably take some time for them to determine a winner.

"You guys start fighting, hehe~"

Rapid Strike's figure began to flicker, and in a moment he appeared in front of the cave. The cave was not pitch black; scattered unknown gems illuminated the interior.

There was also a fourth-tier fire ape cub inside, which Zhou Luo killed effortlessly in the cave before it could roar.

Beyond the corpse of the Flame Ape, a medicinal herb emanating a strong masculine aura caught Zhou Luo's attention.

"Is this the three-hundred-year-old Golden Sun Grass that Elder Lingji spoke of??"

Swift Strike reached out and grabbed the Golden Sun Grass, uprooting it completely.

"Elder Lingji said that the Golden Sun Grass can strengthen the body and has a very strong effect!"

The Golden Sun Grass entered Rapid Strike's chest and appeared in Zhou Luo's hand the next moment. Zhou Luo threw the Golden Sun Grass into his mouth and chewed it.

The juice of the Golden Sun Grass was very hot, just like boiling water, but this had no effect on Zhou Luo, who swallowed the juice and the residue whole.

There was indeed a surge of heat entering his body, but it didn't have any so-called health-strengthening effects; perhaps it did, but Zhou Luo couldn't feel it.
"Damn it, I've been tricked by that old rascal again!!" Zhou Luo subconsciously thought that Ling Ji had fooled him again: "This is a huge loss. Trading a spiritual energy core for an unknown herb, Zhou Luo's heart is bleeding."

After leaving the cave entrance, Rapid Edge did not leave the Lost Realm directly, but returned to the place where the seventh-tier monster battle took place.

As soon as I arrived, a thick beam of light struck me.

"Holy crap!" Zhou Luo exclaimed.

Zhou Luo quickly dodged the ray, and after it passed, he looked back at the ground that had been swept by the ray. He saw that the ground had been blasted into a trench seven or eight meters deep.

I was filled with fear.

But then they saw that the monsters had completely gone berserk. Whether it was the Flame Ape or the other monsters, they all had shocking wounds on their bodies, and large amounts of blood were dripping onto the ground.
