Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao - Chapter 4362

Chapter 4362: Killing a bird
Editor: Henyee Translations

The matter was not so easily resolved.

By the looks of it, now that the problem of the hostage was resolved, the monkeys were about to launch a revengeful offensive.

However, the nearby fire trees had already been cleared, and there were no weapons that could be used for attack. Thus, these monkeys only glared at them angrily, but did not immediately attack.

It was also because of this that Ling Han didn’t pay much attention to them. He simply looked at the fruit in his hand.

“Luan Xing, here.” He stuffed the fruit into the empress’ hands. Because this was a Four Star Celestial medicine, it could benefit a True Self Tier, but the effects would be much worse for a Spiritual Transformation Tier.

Hence, to make the most of it, it must be given to the empress or Hu Niu.

“Since these monkeys can bring a celestial fruit, I believe that they can bring a second and third celestial fruit.” Ling Han’s eyes shone, “Who knows, there may even be Five Star celestial fruits!”

If it was five stars, then he, the large black dog, Chi Menghan and the others would be able to consume it.

He strode forward, planning to rob a few more “monkeys”.

The large black dog and little azure dragon followed. The perverted pig naturally wouldn’t do anything dangerous even if he was beaten to death. Meanwhile, Chi Menghan stayed behind to guard the main camp, preventing the monkeys from turning the tables and taking a hostage themselves.

Ling Han had already walked to the tree. At this moment, with a command from the Monkey King, the monkeys in the vicinity immediately began to shake their branches.

The fiery leaves fell, and it was as if the whole world were on fire.

Ling Han smiled faintly as he unleashed his murderous aura into the sky.

Pa, pa, pa! Like raindrops, the monkeys instantly fell from the trees.

Most of these monkeys were at the True Self Tier, so how could they possibly block the murderous aura’s attack? Upon contact, they naturally fell unconscious.

This time, the monkeys were dumbfounded.

Er, just now, only one of his companions had fallen into Ling Han’s hands, but now, there were as many as… ithey could not be counted on one hand.

Ling Han returned with his “trophies”, then crooked a finger at the Monkey King.

‘Come, go and get some fruits to trade.’

If the fierce beasts he was facing were like the firebirds, they would definitely not know what he meant, but monkeys were different. They were very smart.

The Monkey King let out a sharp cry, and instantly, all the monkeys retreated one after another like birds startled by a bowstring.

It could be clearly seen that there was a commotion on the treetops, which was rapidly disappearing into the distance.

Like the firebirds, these monkeys were naturally immune to fire attacks.

Not long after, the monkeys had already returned.

This time, not only did the Monkey King land, but there were also seven giant monkeys following behind it. All of them were walking on three paws.

Coming close, the monkeys spread out their tightly clenched claws one after another. As expected, there was a fruit in every claw.

After completing the transaction again, Ling Han was very satisfied. Though the fruits he had traded were still only Four Star-level, it was still profitable to gain something without risking anything.

This time, after returning the “monkey hostages”, the monkeys no longer wanted to take revenge. With a whistle, they left one after another.

They couldn’t afford another loss.

Ling Han chuckled, and said, “This kind of monkey is indeed cute, so there’s no harm in giving me more.”

Everyone laughed as well. This time, it was a close call, and they had even earned a few Four Star celestial fruits.

They advanced very carefully, because the monkeys lived on the trees. If they were deliberately lying in ambush, it was really possible that they would catch them off guard.

After walking for a while, they heard a sharp whistle. A black dot appeared in the skies, and was presently moving rapidly.

Very quickly, the black dot enlarged. It was actually a giant bird with fiery red feathers. Its tail was extraordinarily long, and was at least four times the length of its body.

This giant bird descended rapidly, then stretched out its claws, and suddenly stopped on the tree trunk.

After the fiery tree trembled violently, a monkey appeared in the giant bird’s claws. It screamed a few times, and its body was pierced through by claws like Divine Metal. Its limbs instantly drooped.

All around them, the monkeys were in an uproar, screaming endlessly. However, the giant bird raised its head, looked around for a while, then lowered its head and used its sharp beak to tear open the monkey’s body, beginning to eat.

“Monkeys are so cute, why do you have to eat them!” Hu Niu called out from below.

Ling Han sighed. This girl was the least qualified to say such words. Along the way, who knew how many types of vicious beasts had been eaten by this little girl.

Now, it was rare for her to find a conscience.

Although the monkeys were furious, it was meaningless for them to charge forward to fight, whether it was because they were afraid of the giant bird or because their companion was already dead. Thus, they only let out sharp cries, but not one of them rushed over to fight.

“Ling Han, Niu wants to eat bird meat!” Hu Niu said as she pointed at the large bird, drooling. In the next instant, she returned to her gluttonous nature.

“All right.” Ling Han nodded. Relatively speaking, he was definitely more inclined towards the monkeys, even if the monkeys had made a move on him previously.

He leaped up, and xiu, he had already arrived at the top of the tree.

The giant bird stopped for a moment, and glanced at him. Then, it ignored him and began to eat on its own.

“Big bird… ptui!” Ling Han felt that this name was a little dirty, so he simply didn’t say anything else, and directly rushed up to make a move.

The giant bird stopped eating, opened its mouth, and hong, a flame shot out, turning into a spirit snake that pounced towards Ling Han.

Ling Han didn’t stop. Starlight Screen spread out. Peng, the flames hit him, yet they spread out in all directions, unable to wound him in the slightest.

In an instant, he had arrived in front of the giant bird, and brandished his fist in a punch.

They were both in the Spiritual Transformation Tier, so Ling Han was naturally unafraid of any opponent.

The large bird seemed to be shocked. Its attack was actually ineffective?

This time, it didn’t spit fire anymore. Instead, it directly pecked at Ling Han’s fist.

Spirit Transformation Tier vicious beasts didn’t have spiritual bodies, but in comparison, their own attacks were extremely powerful.

The sharpness of its beak was completely not inferior to a Celestial Tool of the same level!

“Heh, let’s compete.” Ling Han naturally wouldn’t cower, and he faced it head-on.

Peng!

The beak of the bird landed on the fist, and a blazing light exploded. Then, the giant bird was sent flying. Its beak was crooked, and blood was gushing out.

Ling Han smiled faintly. Though he had not recovered yet, and could only unleash half of his battle prowess, suppressing this giant bird was a piece of cake for him.

The large bird was shocked, and hurriedly flapped its wings. It did not even want its food anymore, and only wanted to leave this place.

“My Hu Niu still wants to eat bird meat, so how could I possibly let you go?” Ling Han shouted loudly, unleashing the barrage of murderous aura. Weng, the giant bird directly fell down from the skies.

It was dead.

Previously, those monkeys had only fainted and not died, completely because Ling Han had held back.

Ling Han brought the giant bird back to the ground, and Hu Niu was instantly overjoyed. Soon, she would be able to feast to her heart’s content.

Huala, the sound of rustling leaves could be heard, and the monkeys actually climbed down from the trees. Led by the Monkey King, they walked in front of Ling Han. They all stood on their hind legs, making a few gestures of bowing.

Ling Han chuckled, “If you want to thank me, bring more fruits.”

The monkeys didn’t understand. They bowed for a while longer, and this time, they dispersed quickly.

“Sigh, we’re talking a different language.” Ling Han shook his head, and began to pluck the feathers of the giant bird, preparing food.

To be honest, he was also a little hungry.

After a while, the tree leaves fluttered again, and the monkeys returned.
