Chapter 746: Ape Planet Crisis
Chapter 746: Ape Planet Crisis
The call ended.
Lindsey didn't rush into action immediately.
First, he thoroughly searched the floating island he was currently on.
After confirming there were no additional gains here, he sat cross-legged in the center of the floating island, where he had prepared a strategic map, quietly waiting for the next spatial transformation.
"Let's try to find the floating island with the lake of flesh and blood first."
"Confirm the location change and the time interval."
Lindsey opened his Strategic Map and tried to locate the previously charted passage in the central world.
Unfortunately, he hadn't found his target yet.
Two hours later, the special spatial ripples appeared again.
The ground beneath Lindsey's feet transformed once more, and the nearby map was again shrouded by the war fog.
"..."
"Two hours?"
"If it happens again in two hours, we can first determine the time interval."
Lindsey summarized the pattern and walked towards the front of the island, preparing to open the map of this floating island.
This time, the island he arrived at was slightly better than the previous one.
Instead of barren land, dense bushes grew around the area.
Lindsey switched to the Adventure Map, and his eyes lit up instantly.
"Finally, something alive!"
Lindsey took a step forward.
On the Adventure Map, there were around twenty red markers and two yellow ones.
Usually, red markers on the map weren't a good sign.
But what Lindsey needed most at the moment was information.
With the possibility of terrain changes in just two hours, he couldn't afford to enter stealth mode; instead, he carefully observed.
He rushed directly to the marked locations.
And then, Lindsey witnessed a cruel scene.
The red markers represented a group of monsters, led by a robust male silverback gorilla with black fur, whose Essence was at the 5th Stage.
The gorilla tribe it led was quite powerful.
Excluding the weak and young, all the adult individuals were at the 4th Stage.
They surrounded the south bank of a lake.
These cruel monsters kept picking up stones from the ground and throwing them at the human figure on the lakeside.
The nearby ground was littered with severed limbs, all belonging to humans killed by these monsters.
Their target was a person crouching on the ground.
Although Lindsey could sense the Essence in the human, they were too weak to resist, lying prone, shielding another person beneath them. The man endured the silverback gorillas' attacks, his body covered in wounds, but he remained unmoved.
"..."
Lindsey's mood, which had improved due to the favorable environment, plummeted in an instant.
If it was a matter of survival of the fittest, it was the way of nature.
But these silverback gorillas, clearly possessing some level of intelligence, were toying with humans, their ground covered in severed limbs, not even considering them as food.
"..."
In silence, Lindsey raised his arm.
As if holding the Flame Bow, Lindsey equipped the Spider Nightshade, which increased attack speed.
The next moment, the sound of silverback gorillas throwing stones was drowned out by a sudden rain of fire.
With a flex of Lindsey's arm, ordinary arrows were transformed by the effect of two longbows into clusters of flames, turning the entire sky and surroundings red.
The common silverback gorillas could dodge.
But these arrows fell like a torrential rain, each with tracking abilities.
They soon hit their targets, and the Flame Arrows burned the silver and black fur into charcoal upon contact, followed by their bodies exploding from the intense heat.
In an instant, the lakeside scene transformed.
The only Fifth Stage Gorilla Chieftain managed to deflect the flame-forged arrows with a swing of its arm.
But before it could ensure its safety, it reacted.
The once mighty Gorilla tribe now lay in ruins, with only the chieftain left standing.
"..."
In a flash, the chieftain's savage nature was revealed.
It spotted Lindsey appearing in the distance and immediately spread its arms, letting out a loud roar:
"Hooo! Eeeee!"
"..."
Lindsey continued approaching with steady footsteps.
Seeing this, the chieftain, fearing for its tribe's revenge, turned and fled.
Without hesitation, the chieftain began to run.
Unfortunately for the chieftain, Lindsey would not let such a brutal beast escape.
Lindsey drew his bow, and three Flame Rockets sped towards the chieftain's silver back. Lindsey himself accelerated, charging forward, closing in on the three fiery trails he had just released.
"Eee—"
The chieftain kept turning as it ran.
But the arrows fired by the Sunflame Archer had tracking abilities.
Unaware of this, the chieftain couldn't change its body temperature, and the flames locked onto it from behind.
Occasionally, it glanced back, seeing Lindsey's relentless pursuit.
"..."
The chieftain's eyes were filled with panic.
This unexpected enemy now held a purple-black longsword, its blade emitting a chilling glow that sent shivers down one's spine.
"Roar—"
Realizing escape was impossible, the chieftain's essence began to condense.
It turned and roared, and with a loud cry, the three fire arrows exploded, creating three scorching fireballs.
Then, it waved its palm.
With immense strength, its arm swelled, nearly deforming, as it prepared to pounce on Lindsey.
- Concentration Mode.
The chieftain's counterattack halted.
With Lindsey's current skill set, dealing with ordinary Fifth Stage Awakened beings was effortless.
Not to mention these beasts with only innate skills.
In the near-frozen flow of time, Lindsey's sword slashed, and the chieftain, unable to resist, was split in two by the cold blade in mid-air, almost wasting the effect of the Extinction Blade.
Swish—
Lindsey exited Concentration Mode and sheathed his weapon.
He patted the gorilla's corpse, and the fresh materials were instantly stored.
[Gear/Material: Gorilla Muscle Fibers]
[Increases Strength by 5 points when equipped; effect doubles when activated on hands. Can also be used as a material to craft other items.]
[A unique gear that enhances strength by modifying muscles, valuable.]
He then checked the synthesis formula.
[1 Gorilla Muscle Fibers + 1 Gorilla Reinforced Bones + 1 Gorilla Hide = Gigantopithecus Arm]
In just a few minutes, Lindsey had eliminated numerous beasts.
His Hunting Log gained the title of Ape Slayer, along with a reward item.
[Gear: Ape Glove]
[Increases Agility by 3 points when equipped, enhancing movement speed in forests.]
[An old item of average value.]
Lindsey quickly reviewed his haul.
He took out a healing potion and rushed towards the prone figure:
"Hey, are you okay?"
"Hang in there!"
