Chapter 23: Prey or Hunter?

“What? I’ll take Hu Tao down? What about you, brother?”

Zhang Xue’er was a little confused about what her brother was going to do and why he wanted her to do it.

“My goal is too big. Plus, I’m a mid-level cultivator. Even if I hide my strength, it’ll be like a fire in the night.

“There’s nowhere to hide. You’re smaller, and with Hu Tao, a cultivator with no fighting power, you can use her as bait.

“We can lure out some big guys, and then we can have a good meal.”

Zhang Yang turned his head and explained it to Zhang Xue’er.

His figure and the light of destiny that was released were too conspicuous, especially the aura of destiny that was emitted from his body was too strong.

Before the magical beasts got close, they would smell his fatal scent and hide.

Secondly, some small things that could not hide from Zhang Yang’s search were not enough for him to eat.

Therefore, Zhang Yang decided to use Zhang Xue’er and Hu Tao as bait to see if the child could fish out a big guy.


“I understand, brother.”

Zhang Xue’er brought Hu Tao and landed at the bottom. As her brother said, she just had to do as he said.

Bang!

Following Zhang Xue’er’s deliberate landing, it stirred up quite a bit of dust.

“Go down.”

Zhang Xue’er did not hold back and threw Hu Tao off her body.

“Ah!”

Hu Tao’s tender buttocks fell onto the hard ground, and she subconsciously cried out in pain.

A few tears appeared at the corners of her eyes, making her look delicate and pitiful.

Zhang Xue’er said disdainfully to Hu Tao’s actions,”Cowardly human. This little bit of pain is enough for you to shed tears.”

After hearing this, Hu Tao silently wiped the tears at the corners of her eyes, and said softly, “Sir, what are we going to do next?”

Having witnessed their powerful strength, the softness in Hu Tao’s heart was also revealed.

Hu Tao was a little puzzled. Where did that man go just now? Did he not come to hunt together?

The conversation between Zhang Yang and Zhang Xue’er just now was an exchange of spirit energy. With Hu Tao’s current level, he did not know what Zhang Yang and the others were talking about.

“What? Just stand still and don’t move. If you encounter danger, just scream out loud.”

After Zhang Xue’er instructed Hu Tao, she hid among the surrounding woods.

“What do you mean by don’t move…”

Hu Tao looked at Zhang Xue’er who had disappeared in front of him, as well as the surrounding eerie woods. Her legs started to tremble once again.

It was as if there were many eyes around, staring at her. There was a murderous intent hidden in the woods.

Gulp!

Hu Tao swallowed her saliva and hesitated for a long time on the spot. In the end, she still decided to take a few steps forward.

After taking a few steps, Hu Tao began to slowly sneak around.

About ten minutes later…

“I was wondering why I smelled an unfamiliar scent. Tsk, tsk, tsk, it’s actually a human!”

At this moment, a group of jungle monkeys walked out from the depths of the forest.

Jungle monkeys were the most common demonic beasts on this continent. Basically, there were such demonic beasts in the mountains and forests.

They belonged to the low class of demonic beasts, and their strength was only equivalent to that of a low-level cultivator.

There were only a few outliers, such as the jungle vajra, who were exceptionally strong.

Their entire body was green, and their eyes were sunken in as if they had shrunk. Their tails behind them seemed to have been broken.

“Let me guess, how did a weak cultivator like you get here?”

The leader of the jungle monkeys bared its three-inch long fangs, and its sunken eyes lit up with a dark green light.

This was the action of the jungle monkeys before they were ready to hunt!

“Ah! Help!”

Hu Tao had been pampered since she was young, so she had never seen such a scene. She turned around, screamed, then ran away.

“Monkeys! Chase after him! Remember! I want to eat his lower half of his body!”

The leader of the jungle monkeys wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and shouted at Hu Tao’s back.

“Wuwuwuwu! I want the hands!”

“I want the brain!”

“I want his body!”

Dozens of jungle monkeys jumped out and ran in Hu Tao’s direction.

This group of jungle monkeys were like starving wolves. Their eyes emitted a green light, and in the blink of an eye, they were about to catch up to Hu Tao.

Zhang Xue’er, who was hiding in the dark, was about to launch an attack, but in the next second…

Bang!

A five-meter-long bucktoothed boar rushed out, knocking away all the jungle monkeys that were about to pounce on Hu Tao.

“Ah!”

The jungle monkeys screamed and flew backward. There were holes in the chests of the few at the front, with green blood flowing out. It looked like there was no life left.

“Damn wild boar! This is the territory of our jungle monkeys!”

The leader of the jungle monkeys took out a mace from somewhere, roared and pointed it at the buck-toothed boar in front of him.

“Yours? With your skinny looks, how dare you say that this is your territory?”

The buck-toothed boar bared its ten one-meter-long tusks in disdain. They were already covered in green blood.

“Don’t be too arrogant, stupid pig!”

As the jungle monkeys spoke, they called their companions over and surrounded the buck-toothed boar. There were more than a hundred jungle monkeys surrounding the buck-toothed boar.

“Hmph!”

The buck-toothed boar took a step back. Five of its companions appeared behind it. One of them was seven meters long.

The buck-toothed boar also had a group of magical beasts that lived in groups. However, there were only six or seven of them in their group. The extras would be chased out to establish their own group.

“Wild monkey, get the hell out of here. I want this prey.”

The buck-toothed boar leader was also not willing to be outdone. Their bodies were there, which was much larger than a short creature like the jungle monkey.

A cultivator!

How long had it been? How long had it been since a cultivator entered the Jeroka Mountain Range?

Now that Hu Tao was the first cultivator they had seen in the past ten years, they naturally had to fight over him.

Cultivators were the best tonic for demonic beasts.

In the sky…

“As expected of the Lucky Lamb. At critical moments, there will always be stronger creatures on the scene.”


Zhang Yang saw it clearly from high up in the sky. Now that the prey had been lured out, he was ready to make his move! The jungle monkey looked at the five buck-toothed boars behind the buck-toothed boar leader and was already thinking of backing out.

If the enemy only had two buck-toothed boars, then the leader of the jungle monkeys would definitely attack without hesitation.

However, now that the buck-toothed boars were in a pack, the leader of the jungle monkeys did not want to take a big risk and snatch the food from the buck-toothed boar’s mouths.

“Let’s leave, monkey cubs!”

The leader of the jungle monkeys waved the mace in his hand and left with the unwilling monkey cubs.

As soon as the group of jungle monkeys left, the buck-toothed boar started eating the dead jungle monkey’s corpse.

The crisp sound of bones breaking rang in the buck-toothed boar’s mouth. At the same time, there was a continuous humming sound like that of a wild boar.

“It’s time to enjoy the fruits.”

The leader of the buck-toothed boar then turned around and looked at the weak cultivator.

Although this human did not even have the qualifications to stuff his teeth, he could still try something new.
