The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 419 I’m not that kind of person

At the Dry Bone Realm Ranch, a group of six or seven people approached the Ape King's Lair cautiously. It had been a month since they last left the Ape King's Lair. The only teams left at the ranch were Shangguan Heng and Pan Chengfeng's teams. Oh, and there was also a team from the Qingyun Sect. After learning what had happened, Yang Fang also insisted on staying to help. After all, Pan Chengfeng was captured by the Ape King in order to save them.

A group of people followed Shangguan Heng. When they were 10,000 meters away from the Ape King's lair, Shangguan Heng stopped and turned to say to everyone, "The Ape King is very sensitive. You guys stay here to support us. Fairy Xin'er, come with me to check the situation. This time we are here to negotiate with the Ape King. Don't take action unless it is absolutely necessary." Several Void Refining cultivators nodded in agreement. Yang Fang worriedly asked, "Brother Heng, is the Ape King really still intelligent?" Shangguan Heng confirmed again, "It should be correct. I have come here several times these days. Junior brother is fine for the time being, but the Ape King won't let him leave."

Xin'er said anxiously, "Brother Shangguan, let's go over and take a look. If the ape king has intelligence, I should be able to persuade it to let Chengfeng go." Shangguan Heng smiled and said, "I know Fairy Xin'er's ability, but this ape king has the blood of ancient Titans. It is extremely arrogant and powerful. Don't anger it." Xin'er nodded and said, "I know. As long as Chengfeng is fine, I can agree to any conditions it offers."

After Pan Chengfeng was captured by the Ape King, Shangguan Heng originally wanted to secretly rescue Pan Chengfeng without telling anyone. As a result, it took a long time, and finally Shangguan Heng could no longer hide the truth, so he had to tell Xin'er the truth. Xin'er fainted when she knew Pan Chengfeng was in trouble. Everyone was in a panic before they woke Xin'er up. After that, there was this negotiation with the Ape King.

Shangguan Heng didn't agree at first, but was finally persuaded by Xin'er. No one here can communicate with the Ape King except her. If they tried to rescue Pan Chengfeng from the Ape King by force, whether they could rescue him or not was another matter, but a war would definitely break out, and it was unknown how many people would die. Moreover, even if everyone fought hard, the chances of defeating the Ape King were slim. It would be better to let her try and see if it could be resolved peacefully.

Pan Chengfeng has been captured in the Ape King's lair for a month. In addition to not being able to leave the lair 10,000 meters, the Ape King did not restrict Pan Chengfeng's movements. After Pan Chengfeng got the red vine stem, he did not sit idle and used it directly. The effect was surprisingly good~ Pan Chengfeng had just advanced to the fourth level of body refining not long ago. After taking the red vine stem, he immediately reached the middle stage of the fourth level of body refining, and his pure physical strength reached 370,000! A full increase of 50,000 strength. With the blessing of the boxing gloves, Pan Chengfeng can now punch with a huge force of 480,000. Moreover, the red vine stem itself is also full of spiritual power, and his cultivation level has also broken through to the third level of Jindan.

After Pan Chengfeng excitedly threw a set of turtle punches, he put his hands on his hips and laughed, "My strength has improved again! Big guy, did you see that?" The Ape King lay on his side and picked his nose. A piece of nose as big as Pan Chengfeng's fist was dug out. The Ape King flicked his little finger lightly, and the big nose booger flew out, aiming at Pan Chengfeng's face. Pan Chengfeng screamed, "You bastard!"

Pan Chengfeng dodged the Ape King's big booger with a narrow escape, then somersaulted to his feet and said angrily, "You disgusting thing! You hit me in the face with such a big booger!" The Ape King clapped his hands happily when he saw Pan Chengfeng 'performing' again. Then he reached out and grabbed Pan Chengfeng in his hand and squeezed him, feeling that he was more elastic than before. He shouted excitedly. Pan Chengfeng's strength had improved, so his body was naturally tougher and must be more elastic than before.

Pan Chengfeng struggled desperately in the Ape King's hands, but he couldn't move at all. He said angrily: "You said you couldn't pinch me! Why are you pinching me? Stop pinching! Damn, this is my head, be careful not to crush it..." The Ape King poked Pan Chengfeng's head with his finger and felt that this toy was more fun than before. He excitedly pounded his chest with one hand and shouted "Oh oh".

In the distance, Xin'er saw the gorilla holding Pan Chengfeng and dancing with joy, and whispered: "It seems very happy, Chengfeng will be okay, right?" Shangguan Heng said awkwardly: "Don't worry, this Ape King treats me as a plaything, and often plays with me like this..." Just as the two were talking, the Ape King suddenly stopped shouting and looked towards the position of Shangguan Heng and Xin'er. The Ape King, who wanted to get angry, actually suppressed his anger after realizing that Xin'er was special.

The ape king scratched his head, thought for a while, and suddenly let go of Pan Chengfeng, pointing at Xin'er. Pan Chengfeng was puzzled, not knowing what this big guy was going to do. But after extending his consciousness, he found Xin'er and Shangguan Heng. Pan Chengfeng said happily: "Xin'er? Why are you here? Hurry up and let this big guy let me go back~"

Shangguan Heng and Xin'er didn't hide their whereabouts, so they were easily discovered by the Ape King. Seeing the Ape King looking at them, they simply walked out openly. Pan Chengfeng came to Xin'er in a few quick steps, picked up Xin'er and turned her around several times, and said happily: "It's good that Xin'er is here, quickly translate it, this big guy keeps making noises, I don't know what he is saying." Xin'er was also very happy, she looked up and down at Pan Chengfeng and asked with concern: "Chengfeng, are you really okay?" Pan Chengfeng smiled and said: "More than okay, my strength has improved a lot, Xin'er didn't notice it?"

Shangguan Heng at the side said with a smile: "Junior brother has reached the third level of the Golden Core, and his magic power has become much stronger~" Pan Chengfeng said with a smile: "More than that, my body refining skills have also improved a little. The spiritual medicines here are all ten thousand years old, which are really good things~" As he said that, Pan Chengfeng made a 'slurp' sound, wiped his saliva and said: "Xin'er, think of a way to see if you can trick some spiritual medicines~" Shangguan Heng said worriedly: "Let Fairy Xin'er talk to the Ape King directly? Isn't it too risky?"

Pan Chengfeng said bluntly: "No, this big guy looks fierce, but it's not the kind of murderous monster. Instead, it's kind of cute." Shangguan Heng's eyes twitched, and he thought to himself: "Cute? I can't tell how cute it is." Xin'er nodded and said: "I'll go talk to it, Brother Shangguan, wait for me here." Seeing that Pan Chengfeng didn't object, Shangguan Heng didn't insist and reminded: "Be careful~"

Pan Chengfeng took Xin'er's hand and returned to the Ape King, shouting, "Big guy! This is my wife. What do you think? She's so beautiful, isn't she~" Xin'er's face turned slightly red, and she spoke fluent animal language: "Respected Ape King, my name is Liu Yuexin, and I'm Chengfeng's fiancée. I came here to ask you to release Chengfeng. No matter what the conditions are, I can agree to them." The Ape King pointed at Pan Chengfeng, then pointed to his own medicine mountain, and called out a few times.

Xin'er looked strange and translated, "It said you stole a lot of its spiritual medicines and couldn't leave?" Pan Chengfeng's old face turned red and he said angrily, "Nonsense! It's just a red vine stem, how could you steal anything else?!" Shangguan Heng, who was far away, naturally heard it too. He covered his face with one hand, shook his head and muttered, "It's already this time, and this kid is still thinking about stealing spiritual medicines?" The Ape King ignored Pan Chengfeng's sophistry and began to count the time and what spiritual medicine Pan Chengfeng stole. Xin'er translated, "On the first day, he stole a red vine stem, on the second day, he stole a Tianming grass, on the third day, he climbed up the Tianyuan tree and picked three Tianyuan fruits, on the fourth day..."

Pan Chengfeng's mouth twitched, and Xin'er was more and more frightened the more she listened. Pan Chengfeng had stolen more than thirty times, almost every day, and had stolen more than fifty kinds of precious medicines, and all of them were almost unique. The Ape King continued to count, and Pan Chengfeng couldn't hold his face anymore, and shouted: "Stop talking! Stop talking! You are 'fishing for law enforcement'!" Pan Chengfeng thought he was clean and tidy, and no one knew, but he didn't expect that everything was recorded in the other person's little notebook.

The Ape King clucked twice with pride, and Xin'er translated, "You can leave if you want. Return all the precious medicines to it and it will let you go. Otherwise, you will stay here with it for a thousand years." Pan Chengfeng objected, "Impossible. I'm only a golden elixir. I can't live for a thousand years. Besides, I will definitely go crazy if I stay in this damn place for a thousand years!" The Ape King continued to cluck, and Xin'er translated, "Then return the precious medicines to it and it will let you go." Pan Chengfeng's old face darkened, and he transmitted a voice to Xin'er, saying, "Ask it, besides the first two, is there a third kind?" Xin'er asked in confusion, "Chengfeng, why don't we just return the elixir to it?" Pan Chengfeng explained, "Why are you nagging it here if it can be returned? Most of the precious medicines have gone into my stomach. Otherwise, how could I improve my realm so quickly?!"

Xin'er opened her mouth slightly and asked, "Have you eaten twenty or thirty precious herbs raw these days?" Pan Chengfeng said helplessly, "What else can I do? I don't know how to make pills. If you had come a few days later, I would have been at the fourth level of the Golden Core!" He had thought that if he could improve his strength more, he would have a better chance of escaping, but it was still not enough for the Ape King to catch him. It was far from enough.

Xin'er looked at the Ape King and said apologetically, "Respected Ape King, Chengfeng can't stay here with you for a thousand years. He has eaten most of the elixir. Is there any other way?" The Ape King shook his head and uttered a few "ohs". Xin'er translated, "It said that it doesn't need anything, it just wants someone to play with it." Pan Chengfeng slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "That's easy. Let it go out with us!" Xin'er hurriedly communicated with the Ape King, but the Ape King suddenly looked sad and uttered a few "ohs".

Xin'er was slightly surprised and translated, "It said that all the monsters in here can't get out, and can't even get close to the barrier, otherwise they will be turned into ashes immediately!" Pan Chengfeng was surprised and said, "They actually have such restrictions. No wonder no monster has escaped from here for so many years. I didn't expect it to be like this."

The ape king continued to hum a few times, and Xin'er translated: "It said that this place used to be very beautiful, but it became like this after a world-destroying war." Pan Chengfeng hurriedly asked: "Ask it if it knows what's going on?" Xin'er hurriedly passed the message, and the ape king hummed a few times. Xin'er said: "It said it doesn't know, it was its parents who told it. Its parents are dead. Because it has awakened its special bloodline, it is not bound by the laws here. It can practice and advance, but it is very slow." Pan Chengfeng touched his chin with a little stubble and said: "There is no way to take them out, this is troublesome. Is it that all the creatures in here can't get out? That's not right, if that's the case, we shouldn't be able to get out after we come in, right? Or is it that the aura on its body causes the defensive power of the barrier to counterattack? If that's the case, I wonder if my spiritual consciousness clothes can help it cover up its aura and hide from the barrier?"

Thinking of using the spiritual clothes, Pan Chengfeng couldn't wait to try it out. If he could take the big guy out, wouldn't all the spiritual medicines on the mountain be his? The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a good chance. Pan Chengfeng shouted to the Ape King: "Big guy, if I can take you out, can you let me go?" The Ape King made a few noises, and Xin'er said: "It said you wanted to trick it again, it won't fall for your trick." Pan Chengfeng's old face darkened and said: "When did I ever trick you! You ate dozens of my monsters, and now you want to frame me!"

The ape king made a few audible sounds. Xin'er looked at Pan Chengfeng with strange eyes and said, "It said...it said you lied to it and said there were a lot of beautiful female gorillas out there who all liked big guys like it. It also said...it also said that the female gorillas out there could give birth to its babies. It could have as many as it liked, and also..." Pan Chengfeng's face flushed. He hurriedly interrupted Xin'er's next words and explained, "Xin'er, I just said some nonsense to it to save my life. Don't take it to heart. I'm not that kind of person!"

Xin'er's face flushed, and she whispered, "I know, Chengfeng, no need to explain." Pan Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the Ape King and said, "I didn't lie to you, why don't you come with me and try it now." The Ape King made a few confused noises, and Xin'er translated, "It asked how to try it?" Pan Chengfeng was secretly delighted and said, "First, make your size smaller. I can't handle a size this big." The Ape King's body shrank rapidly, and Pan Chengfeng's spiritual consciousness covered the Ape King and began to apply it layer by layer. After applying more than ten layers, Pan Chengfeng said, "Come with me to the valley and try it~"

After the Ape King was wrapped in the Spiritual Clothes, he was also shocked and uttered a few "ohs". Xin'er translated, "It asked you if you used this trick to steal the spiritual medicine before?" Pan Chengfeng immediately denied it, "Nonsense, I didn't steal it! Big guy, you are actually trapping me for law enforcement. In this case, it's not called stealing. You gave it to me willingly!" The Ape King uttered two "ohs". This time Xin'er didn't need to translate, because the Ape King's eyes were very clear. Pan Chengfeng said stubbornly, "Anyway, I didn't steal it!"

Shangguan Heng saw that the two people and the beast seemed to be leaving, so he quickly asked, "Junior brother? What are you doing?" Pan Chengfeng waved his hand and said, "Senior brother, wait here for a while, we will be back soon."
