Family Cultivation: Rise of the Wilderness

Chapter 126 Burning Sky Violent Ape
No sooner had Li Xiangru finished speaking than another tremendous roar resounded.

Everyone felt a ringing in their ears. When they came to their senses, Li Xiangming made a quick decision and said, "Let's go!"

The group left in the opposite direction, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.

The surrounding monsters, seemingly driven by fear, fled in all directions.

Seeing this, Li Xiangru smiled wryly: "It seems that the Heavenly Burning Ape has its eye on us."

Sure enough, under the detection of divine sense, a massive demonic force was approaching.

A moment later, a blazing beam of fire swept over.

"Get out of the way!"

The beam of flame instantly vaporized the area where Li Xiangming and the others were.

Not only that, but the surrounding area was engulfed in flames.

Li Xiangming, who had narrowly escaped death, looked back and was horrified. Had he reacted any slower, he would have been reduced to ashes.

A giant ape demon, its body entirely crimson and radiating a scorching aura, suddenly appeared in his sight.

The Fiery Sky Ape pounded its chest, its eyes bloodshot with boundless rage, and roared once more. All the weaker demonic beasts around it fainted.

The battle was about to begin. Li Xianghua was the first to chant an incantation. A formation plate flew rapidly in his hand, and an invisible aura enveloped the earth.

Seven or eight irregularly shaped rock pillars stood tall around the Burning Sky Ape, trapping it firmly.

A dungeon demon-trapping formation?
Li Xiangming was overjoyed. This was a trapping formation specially prepared for large monsters, and its grade was no lower than the Quicksand Soul Burial Formation.

Li Xianghua obviously didn't have time to set up the formation, so he used the formation plate. The formation in the formation plate was slightly less powerful, but not by much. It shouldn't be enough to kill the Burning Sky Violent Ape.
Before Li Xiangming could continue thinking, the Burning Sky Violent Ape roared and braced itself with both arms, smashing the rock pillar almost as if it were destroying everything in its path.

"Run separately!"

Li Xiangming looked like he had seen a ghost and ran away as fast as he could, and the others did the same.

Even a second-tier formation couldn't trap this monster, so what could they do even if they joined forces?
After fleeing for dozens of miles, Li Xiangming stopped to take a Qi-replenishing pill. By then, he had already realized that the Burning Sky Violent Ape was not following him, even though Nie Rong and Tang Xueyan were with him.

After letting out a sigh of relief, Li Xiangming quickly took out the Green Cloud Flying Boat and placed spirit stones on it.

"Hurry up!"

Seeing the spirit transformation array on the flying boat slowly activating, Li Xiangming was extremely anxious.

Second-hand goods are second-hand goods; they'll fail you when it matters most.

While the airship was charging, Li Xiangming had Nie Rong and Tang Xueyan take a map and survey the surrounding area.

They were in such a panic that they ran off somewhere, I don't know where.

After a while, the two returned, and Li Xiangming realized that he was in the upper middle section.

And it happens to be located in the territory of another late-stage Spirit Summoning demon cultivator.

This demon is named the Illusory Night Butterfly. Although its cultivation is limited, it is far less terrifying than the Heaven-Burning Violent Ape.

But he also has extraordinary abilities; he possesses illusion magic and can kill people without them even realizing it.

Even the large and powerful animal traps avoided them.

Li Xiangming immediately became alert; he didn't want to fight such a monster again.

"We're leaving here."

He whispered an instruction, and the three of them left cautiously.

Strangely, while monsters were rampaging in other places, the territory of the Illusory Night Butterfly remained empty.

Could it be that it's not in their territory?

Li Xiangming guessed that it was because the Burning Sky Violent Ape had also left its territory.

This is an exception. What exactly happened at Puyin Mountain?
Unable to figure it out, Li Xiangming could only stop thinking for the time being and focus on getting on his way.

After a while, the three left the territory of the Illusory Night Butterfly, and then walked for quite some time before the Green Cloud Flying Boat finally finished charging.

Li Xiangming finally felt relieved.

But another unexpected event occurred.

"Oh!"

A huge explosion and the roar of apes echoed from afar.

Li Xiangming's expression changed. The ape's cry was undoubtedly from the Burning Sky Violent Ape, but the explosion sounded like the sound of a Flame Explosion Talisman.

So at least one person has been caught up by the Blazing Sky Ape.

"what to do."

Tang Xueyan also thought of this and bit her lip.

Li Xiangming was conflicted. The exit of Puyin Mountain was just around the corner. As long as he pretended not to hear it, he could return home smoothly, and no one would blame him afterward.

After all, this is a demon cultivator in the Bone Fusion stage. How can he, a mere Qi Refining eighth-level cultivator, possibly contend with it?

But if he leaves, either Li Xiangru or Li Xianghua will be doomed.

"Stop dreaming. Even if you stay, you can't accomplish anything."

"Even so, can you just stand by and watch them die? You know you were the one who invited them into Puyin Mountain!" "Better to sacrifice my fellow Daoists than myself. I'm in this state, what else can I do?"

“If you don’t go to save people, how will you face your family in the future? You will be haunted by inner demons and never have peace.”

"Bullshit, this is the best choice I made after weighing the pros and cons. It's better for one person to die than two, and my family will understand."

"."

In an instant, Li Xiangming was torn between his conscience and his will.

Just as he was feeling uneasy, the evil green-robed figure began to stir, and countless wicked thoughts quietly awakened.

The Dust-Free Pearl shone brightly, but it began to dim after only a few breaths.

"shut up!"

Li Xiangming's face contorted with rage as he roared.

Tang Xueyan, who was standing to the side, was startled and couldn't help but take a step back.

The Li Xiangming in front of me suddenly seemed like a stranger.

After a while, Li Xiangming's expression returned to calm. He gripped the Dust-Free Bead in front of his collarbone and took a few deep breaths.

"Xueyan, go out first and notify the animal trapping room."

Tang Xueyan knew immediately that Li Xiangming planned to go back to rescue people. She glanced at Nie Rong, who was standing silently beside her, and shook her head.

"You go out with Nie Rong."

Li Xiangming glanced at her, knowing she was worried about Nie Rong.

"Can you do it alone?"

Tang Xueyan was still somewhat conflicted.

"I have a flying boat."

After saying this, Li Xiangming no longer hesitated, summoned the Green Cloud Flying Boat, and flew towards the sound of the explosion.

Soon, Li Xiangming arrived at the battlefield.

Everywhere you look, there are flames and devastation.

The Fiery Sky Ape spread its arms wide and pounded its fists into a semi-transparent light screen.

"Enchantment?"

Li Xiangming was surprised, not expecting to see the barrier. But when he saw Li Xianghua inside the barrier, he wasn't so surprised.

Barriers are also a branch of formations, and they are particularly good at defense.

However, setting up a barrier usually takes a huge amount of time, much longer than setting up an array.

Li Xianghua was able to set up a barrier under the attack of the Burning Sky Violent Ape, proving himself to be a genius of formations.

However, the next second, Li Xiangming's expression turned horrified.

As the raging ape brought down its fists, the barrier instantly dimmed and nearly shattered.

Fortunately, Li Xianghua stood in front of the barrier, continuously channeling his magic power into it.

The moment the Fiery Sky Ape stopped, the barrier returned to normal.

But Li Xianghua coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Blood formed a pool at his feet, staining another figure red as well.

"Fourth brother?"

With a quick glance, Li Xiangming not only discovered Li Xianghua struggling to survive, but also Li Xiangru lying on the ground, unable to get up.

"damn it."

Li Xiangming retracted the flying boat, leaped down from the air, and shot several Fiery Iron Arrows into the back of the Burning Sky Violent Ape's neck.

However, the Frostbite Iron Arrow could not harm the Burning Sky Ape at all; it was deflected almost instantly upon impact.

Fortunately, the explosive talisman tied to the arrow did not lose its effect and exploded as expected.

Hidden among the Explosive Talismans is a Tier 2 Explosive Talisman.

The Blazing Sky Ape could treat the Fiery Talisman as a mere tickle, but it couldn't ignore the Flame Burst Talisman. It immediately staggered and turned around to glare fiercely at Li Xiangming.

"brute!"

Li Xiangming cursed loudly, made a hand seal to cast the Fog Movement Technique, and at the same time used the Fog Concealment Talisman.

He was well-prepared for this mission to capture the Blackwater Serpent, and he carried many talismans.

However, the ever-effective Mist-Traveling Technique was completely ineffective against the Blazing Sky Ape.

The beast bared its teeth and roared, and a powerful gust of air dispersed most of the mist.

Instead, Li Xiangming had to leave his hiding place, fearing that he would be found out.

"Xiangming, run!"
