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

Chapter 148 The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind!

"The inner core of a seventh-tier monster is worth one spirit star. Even if you can't get the inner core, the materials on these monsters are still very valuable."

Zhou Luo was tricked by Ling Ji again on this trip. Not wanting to make a wasted trip, Zhou Luo set his sights on the materials on these monsters.

The battle energy unleashed by the clash between several seventh-tier monsters alarmed all the monsters within a ten-kilometer radius, causing them to rush outwards like madmen.

This caused great distress to the armored pilots who were searching for resources in the Lost Realm; the monster rampage forced them to retreat.

As night slowly fell, the aura of these seventh-tier monsters gradually weakened, and each monster had several shocking wounds on its body.

As the battle continued, the advantages of the higher-level Saurami became apparent, as its recovery and combat abilities far surpassed those of the other monsters.

More than ten minutes later, a monster was pierced through the body by the Flame Ape Beast and fell to the ground helplessly. The monster also tore through the Flame Ape Beast's defense with its sharp claws, leaving a deep wound on its body.

"Roar--!!"

[Secret Realm Monster: Flame Ape Beast.]

[Level: Peak Level 79]

[Status: Exhausted, Critically Injured, Enraged]

[Combat Energy: 60%]

"What?! The Flame Ape Beast still has more than half of its battle energy left? This guy's been holding back!" Zhou Luo analyzed the Flame Ape Beast's condition using the Battle King Glasses.

Despite the bruises on the Flame Ape's body, those wounds were not fatal.

Several monsters of the same level couldn't even inflict effective damage on the Flame Ape Beast. Is this some kind of joke?!
Zhou Luo was already planning to leave. The remaining four monsters were no longer a threat to the Flame Ape Beast, and Zhou Luo had no chance to obtain the inner cores of the monsters.

Just as Zhou Luo had guessed, the Flame Ape Beast directly took out the inner core of the Scaled Armored Beast and swallowed it in one gulp.

The immense energy within the inner core was forcibly absorbed by the Flame Ape Beast.

The Flame Ape Beast, holding the head of the Scaled Beast in its hand and stepping on its body, roared domineeringly to the sky, forcing the four monsters back a few steps due to its imposing aura.

Several monsters roared and retreated, fear appearing in their huge eyes.

The Flame Ape Beast watched the monsters leave but did not pursue them.

Although it is in good condition now, the four monsters could still threaten it if they fought desperately, and it doesn't want to be caught off guard.

Moreover, it's not the only peak seventh-tier monster in the Lost Realm. If the monsters in other areas knew it was seriously injured, it would definitely die a terrible death.

"Holy crap, the monsters in the secret realm are really fierce. This Flame Ape Beast is definitely no match for an ordinary seventh-level armor master. If I can absorb its combat energy, my experience bar will be full immediately."

"Once I've mastered all thirty-six forms of spatial magic, I can start working on breaking through to the seventh rank!"

Zhou Luo has now mastered 34 of the 36 spatial techniques. Under Luo Xiu's guidance, his mastery of spatial power has progressed rapidly in the past few days.

Not only did Luocha give him everything he had, but even Luo Xiu took time out of his busy schedule to guide him in cultivating the Intent Condensation Ring.

"My lord, there is movement underground."

Suddenly, Jisu Feng's words pulled Zhou Luo back to reality.

He quickly turned on his War King Glasses and scanned the area; information about a monster appeared in Zhou Luo's eyes.

[Mysterious Realm Monster: Ancient Demon Tree]

[Level: 75] [Special Skill: Unknown]

Zhou Luo's gaze pierced the air like a sharp arrow, instantly locking onto the towering ancient tree not far from the Flame Ape Beast. The giant tree was as majestic as a mountain, and its trunk was so thick that probably a hundred people could not encircle it.

The bark was incredibly smooth, with brown veins running across its surface. It shimmered with a metallic luster like steel under the moonlight. The canopy reached straight into the sky, with a height of at least 100 meters. The layered branches and leaves surged like dark green waves in the gale.

Upon closer inspection, the shadow cast by this ancient tree covers half of the battlefield.

"My lord, this is a plant-type monster from a secret realm. If it hadn't just revealed a trace of its aura, I wouldn't have been able to detect its presence. It is the true hunter!"

The phrase "the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind" came to Zhou Luo's mind.

"Is it absorbing the blood of the scaled beast?"

The Flame-Melting Pearl held no appeal for the Ancient Demon Tree; only the blood of seventh-tier monsters attracted it.

At the same time, several thick vines burst forth from the ground. These vines were very fast and wrapped around the body of the fire ape beast in an instant.

The Flame Ape Beast's pupils contracted as it looked at the vines on its body, and then a surge of anger welled up in its heart. It was one thing for a few monsters to challenge it, but now even a plant-based monster dared to come looking for death.

"Roar!!!" A deafening roar erupted from the Flame Ape's mouth, the terrifying sound waves traveling over ten kilometers.
In an instant, a pillar of fire shot into the sky from the Flame Ape Beast's body. The thick vines were not immune to this flame and were burned and shattered in an instant.

The fact that this Ancient Demon Tree dared to target the Flame Ape Beast shows that it was no ordinary monster. If a few vines couldn't restrain the Flame Ape Beast, then it would use hundreds of vines.

The towering vines formed a cage that trapped the Flame Ape Beast. Zhou Luo couldn't see into the battle inside, but he could tell from the violent collisions and angry roars that the two were engaged in a fierce struggle.

Little did the Ancient Demon Tree know that the Flame Ape Beast was in good condition and showed no signs of serious injury.

A few minutes later, the Flame Gorilla tore apart all the vines, and at this time, a vine also pierced through its chest. The Flame Gorilla's condition was visibly poor.

The Flame Ape charged toward the main body of the Ancient Demon Tree, its hands tightly gripping the thick trunk. To Zhou Luo's astonishment, it uprooted the Ancient Demon Tree.

The entire earth was cracked open, revealing a deep crater with countless tiny fissures.

The ancient demon tree, uprooted, was rapidly losing its life force and eventually died in the flames of the fire ape beast.

The Flame Ape Beast, having destroyed the Ancient Demon Tree, carefully pulled out the vine from its chest, the vine still attached with fragments of broken internal organs.

The Flame Ape Beast slumped to the ground, panting heavily. Its thick chest heaved violently, and with each breath, a large pool of scarlet blood flowed out.

It killed the Heavenly Ancient Demon Tree in an absolutely domineering way, but it also suffered excessive damage to its body, and now it even has great difficulty raising its hand.

[Secret Realm Monster: Flame Ape Beast.]

[Level: Level 79. 】

[Ultimate Move: Flame Ape True Form, Roar of Blazing Flames, Wrath of the Earth, Fearless Blazing Aura, Unknown, Unknown]

[Status: Severely injured and exhausted, life force rapidly declining, combat ability less than 10%.]

[Evaluation: Summoning the Jedi Bomb and the Power Elemental Bomb, unleashing a combined mech attack can deliver a fatal blow!]

Zhou Luo looked at the analysis in the War King Glasses with excitement, and even his breathing became slightly rapid. After several battles, this terrifying monster was finally seriously injured and dying.

"Even though the Flame Ape didn't get lost, it's the same if it dies by my hand!"
