Purgatory

Chapter 10
"Well, I know."

Pang Jian admitted softly.

The gray ape in the cage is the leader of a group of apes in the Cenji Mountains. Before it became the king of the apes, it fought a white bear and was seriously injured, and was rescued by the young Pang Jian and his father.

At that time, the reason why his father was willing to rescue him was because he saw that the gray ape had a high spirituality.

Afterwards, this gray ape with ice-blue eyes became his partner in the Cenji Mountains.

From then on, he never hunted down the group of apes led by the gray ape. Sometimes when he was in danger while hunting, the gray ape would rescue him when he saw it.

Two years ago, after he hunted a mountain leopard alone, he was maliciously targeted by other old hunters in Linshan Town.

The old Orion bullied him when he was young, and saw that his father had been missing for a long time, so he wanted to snatch the mountain leopard he shot.

When he was desperately fighting back and was about to lose, he got the help of Gray Ape and his group of apes.

After that conflict, the three hunters who were notorious in Linshan Town disappeared forever in the forest.

Seeing that Gray Ape was imprisoned in an iron cage and became a prisoner of Shangguan's family, Pang Jian, who had been hiding behind him, suddenly stepped forward.

"The gray ape?"

As soon as he moved, Zhou Qingchen was startled too. Looking at the solemn expression on his face, he asked in surprise, "Do you recognize him?"

"Friend." Pang Jian replied seriously.

"friend……"

Zhou Qingchen was thoughtful.

Shangguan Qin, who was in front of everyone, had a charming face full of strangeness, and said casually: "This gray ape and its subordinates attacked us not long ago. The group of apes under its subordinates has not been contaminated by the evil in the mist. The power was quickly wiped out by us."

"As for this gray ape with ice-blue pupils..."

Shangguanqin pursed her lips, looked at Pang Jian, then at Zhou Qingchen, and said with a smile, "It seems to be spiritual."

"Spiritual?"

Zhou Qingchen was slightly moved.

Shangguanqin nodded slightly, looked at the bright eyes, and explained with a smile: "After we captured it, we tried various methods, and we are sure that it has extremely high intelligence and spirituality. You also know that the wisdom of apes It's already tall, but it's much taller than ordinary apes."

Zhou Qingchen came to a sudden: "It seems that it has transformed into a spirit beast."

There are many precedents of beasts transforming in places with rich aura of heaven and earth, or under the shroud of "strange fog".

Beasts that cannot cleanse the filth in the aura, although they are extremely ferocious and powerful, are defined as ferocious beasts because they cannot communicate.

Ferocious beasts are difficult to tame and discipline, and have no value in keeping alive for practitioners.

Spirit beasts are different.

Once the spirit beast is tamed, it can become the practitioner's partner and can drive the spirit beast to do many things.

Shangguanqin captured this gray ape alive, and it should be ready to take it out and tame it completely so that it can be used by their Shangguan family.

"Oh my friend……"

Zhou Qingchen rubbed his chin, sometimes looked at the gray ape in the iron cage, and sometimes looked at Pang Jian, weighing the value of the two in his heart, thinking whether he should redeem the gray ape from Shangguanqin's hands.

The gray ape with spirituality that fell into the hands of the Shangguan family is naturally of high value, and I'm afraid it won't be possible to get it back if you don't pay a price.

And Pang Jian's fierceness in assassinating He Ziren, as well as his familiarity with the Cenji Mountains, are of certain value, and he does intend to attract Pang Jian.

It's just that Pang Jian's cultivation talent is indeed not good, and unless there is an adventure against the sky in the future, his achievements will still be limited.

After deliberating for a while, Zhou Qingchen was moved with compassion because of the word "friend", and said, "Aunt Qin, can this gray ape give up his love? You heard it just now, my little brother said, Gray Ape is his friend."

Ning Yao, Ning Yuanshan and the others felt incomprehensible at this moment, and did not understand why Zhou Qingchen suddenly looked at Pang Jian differently.

When we first met Zhou Qingchen, he obviously didn't pay attention to Pang Jian, but after the bloody incident at the pile of rocks, he took the initiative to go in to deliver meat, and he also gave the Dragon Spear.

Now, for the sake of Pang Jian, he wants to ask for that gray ape from Shangguan's family?
Ning Yao and the others did not know the reason.

The gray ape in the iron cage seemed to have really understood human nature. After Pang Jian said the word "friend", a pair of ice blue different pupils stared at Pang Jian for a long time without moving.

"Who is he?" Shangguanqin asked strangely.

"A hunter who is most familiar with the Cenji Mountains. We will rely on him for all our explorations of the Cenji Mountains!" Zhou Qingchen replied.

"Just... a hunter?"

Shangguanqin was surprised and puzzled.

She thought for a while, looked at the bones near the Wuding ferry, the blood moon price tag on her clothes, and the black pennant flying on the ferry, and suddenly changed the subject: "Qing Chen, how long have you been here? What are they doing?" dead?"

"I just came here not long ago. It was like this before we came. All the utensils on the corpses were still there when we came. I feel that they were also the flesh and blood that were attacked and eaten by wild beasts." Han Duping said flatteringly.

"You all know the relationship between our Shangguan family and Blood Moon."

Shangguanqin rubbed her forehead, made a look of embarrassment, and looked at the huge uncertain ferry.

"How about this, I hope that the artifacts you searched from the blood moon's corpse can be sold to our Shangguan family after leaving the Cenji Mountains. Next, we will search for this indeterminate ferry. The things inside include this ferry, Our Shangguan family must submit it to Blood Moon."

"how?"

Shangguanqin just looked at Zhou Qingchen and asked.

She chose to ignore the opinions of Ning Yuanshan, Ning Yao, and Han Duping.

"How does this work?"

Han Duping couldn't bear it anymore, and felt that the conditions offered by Shangguanqin were indeed a bit harsh.

The size of the Indeterminate Ferry is huge, and it would be difficult for people in the lower realms to fly it if they did not obtain the secret method of the blood moon.

The Zhou family would probably find it difficult to take down this special ferry, and they would not let it go if they took down the Blood Moon.

But if there is a harvest in the cabin, since the Zhou family is the first to come, of course they should get a share, and the Shangguan family behind can not take all the cheap.

A gray ape that has just acquired spirituality has not shown its potential and is of little value. Shangguanqin is a lion.

"it is good."

To everyone's surprise, Zhou Qingchen agreed without hesitation, and immediately pointed to the iron cage, signaling to Pang Jian, "It belongs to you now."

"Thank you."

Pang Jian, who was taciturn, thanked him earnestly this time, and said in a deep voice, "I will think carefully about what you said in the stone pile."

For the gray ape he cared about, Zhou Qingchen was able to give up such a big benefit, which really moved him a little.

Pang Jian, who had thanked him, got off his horse and came to the iron cage under everyone's strange eyes.

Seeing that Shangguanqin nodded in agreement, the big man with muscular muscles like a tower handed the iron chain tied to the cage to Pang Jian, ready to hand over.

Pang Jian shook his head, instead of going to pick up the iron chain, he looked at the gray ape in front of the cage.

The gray ape with ice blue eyes also looked at him in the cage, with a bit of sadness in his cold eyes, as if he was still mourning the death of his species.

After Pang Jian and Gray Ape looked at each other for a moment, they unlocked the lock on the top of the cage and lifted the lid.

"Well!"

The eyes of many onlookers were strange.

"Hide and stay away, don't show up again in the near future." Pang Jian softly instructed the gray ape in the cage.

The gray ape seemed to understand what he said, and when he finished speaking, he nodded in a humane way, and immediately rushed out, rushing towards the densely wooded mountains.

It turned back from time to time and looked at the practitioners of Shangguan's family, its ice-blue pupils were full of fierceness.

"This gray ape is very dangerous, and his spirituality has improved very quickly. I regret it a bit."

Under its fierce gaze, Shangguanqin felt an inexplicable chill, always feeling that letting this gray ape leave easily would cause trouble for herself.

"Okay, you can go to the Wuding Ferry to search now."

Zhou Qingchen also kept his promise, first let his loyal servants of the Zhou family leave the sailboat, and then waved to Pang Jian, signaling him to return to his side.

Pang Jian waited until there was no trace of the gray ape, and after confirming that Shangguan's house would be difficult to pursue, he returned to Zhou Qingchen's side.

"I'm surprised to be friends with a spiritual ape king." When Pang Jian came over, Zhou Qingchen opened his mouth and laughed heartily, and said, "Pang Jian, you're quite interesting."

In his mind, Pang Jian, who was hired by the Ning family, was already Zhou Qingchen's man.

Ning Yao could also see this.

Although she was the one who invited Pang Jian with a bag of silver, since Zhou Qingchen showed such an attitude, Pang Jian might be destined to go with Zhou Qingchen.

"You, you, and the few of you!"

Shangguanqin waved her snow-white jade arm, ordered a few people loyal to Shangguan's family, and ordered: "You go to the Wuding Ferry and check carefully to see what's inside."

Several people nodded in agreement, and immediately moved to the sailboat moored on the dead branches and sawdust.

Shangguanqin, who didn't have a mount, asked the others to stay where they were, while she came to Zhou Qingchen and Ning Yao.

At this time, she seemed to finally see Ning Yao, glanced at Ning Yao's slightly protruding breasts, and said meaningfully: "Hey, girl Ning, you have grown up too."

When Ning Yao was about to respond with a serious face, her face suddenly turned cold, and her tone was cold: "Ning Yuanshan, you are not dead yet?"

Ning Yuan Shanpi smiled and slapped a haha, and did not engage in verbal entanglement with her.

Everyone could see that Shangguanqin and the Ning family were not on the right track, and there was probably something wrong with them before.

"Qing Chen, what did you find on the way?"

Seeing that Ning Yuanshan didn't talk to her, Shangguanqin wasn't aggressive at all, and casually chatted with the young master of the Zhou family.

While they were chatting, the Shangguan family, the Zhou family and the Ning family were all paying attention to the movements of the Wuding ferry, watching the people loyal to the Shangguan family walk up the wooden ladder to the deck, and then dive from the deck into the cabin.

Pang Jian also learned from their conversation that the Shangguan family entered from the east of the Cenji Mountains and encountered many wild beasts on the way.

Like them, Shangguan's family hurried over after seeing the huge dry bones erected from a distance.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

When they talked about the mystery of the phoenix bone, from the cabin of the Wuding ferry, there was a terrifying sound of flesh and blood exploding.

Shangguan Qin suddenly changed color, and the rest of the people were also shocked.

Soon, thick blood shot out from the cabin like a blood arrow, with a strange and bloody look, pouring into the blood moon pattern on the pitch-black pennant one by one.

A blood-red crescent moon moving with the wind slowly swelled up inside the pennant after engulfing streaks of blood.

The gradually brighter blood-red light was released through the crescent moon, and the crescent moon also became a full moon in a short time.

It looked like a strange blood pupil embedded in the pitch-black pennant, faintly facing where everyone was.

The strange changes of this round of "blood moon" made everyone feel horrified. Everyone who looked at it felt stinging eyes, and their temples seemed to be pierced by two steel nails.

"Eye of Branding!"

Shangguanqin, who was terrified, was the first to calm down. She raised her hand and shouted at the black pennant whose crescent moon had turned into a full moon because of the blood seeping into it.

She was very excited, and her eyes were full of anticipation and longing, as if she was waiting for the favor of an evil god.

On the pennant, the terrifying blood eye slowly turned, searching for a target to freeze.

Suddenly, Pang Jian felt a heat in his chest, and his pupils were instantly stained red with thick blood.

He immediately looked at that strange blood eye, and scenes suddenly appeared in his mind, as if he was forcibly imbued with some kind of memory image.
