Chapitre 5: Ape Demon King Kong! Horse Tripwire!
Éditeur: Atlas Studios
"The combat power of the ape avatar is far above mine. It's at least on the level of first-rate martial artists!"
Su Jie thought to himself.
The current strength of the ape avatar was definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary people. If Su Jie himself faced the ape avatar, he had no faith in withstanding the heavy punches of the ape avatar!
However, as it grew, new troubles came.
The first was how the appetite of the ape avatar meant that 100 pounds of meat every day was needed to support the attrition caused by its cultivation.
In terms of cost, even though pork was cheaper than beef, 100 pounds of pork still costed a tael of silver. In other words, the ape avatar spent 30 taels of silver a month on food alone!
Even though Su Wu worked in the Divine Constable Bureau, this was still considered a huge expense when fully accumulated.
In the future, the ape avatar's appetite would definitely increase, so Su Jie decided to send the ape avatar into the remote mountains and forests to hunt on its own. It was good to reduce the burden on him.
With the current strength of the ape avatar. It could easily kill a tiger, which was known as the king of beasts, not to mention ordinary jackals and beasts!
"The ape avatar can go to Yinchuan Mountain. Wild beasts are rampant there so there's should be enough food for it. I'll also make a trip to Heiye City in the meantime since it's the closest city. There should be pills for martial artists there."
Su Jie planned.
He would go out and send the ape avatar to Yinchuan Mountain while he himself will go to Heiye City to buy pills!
Su Jie immediately took a day off from cultivation. Before the dawn of the next day, Su Jie drove a carriage and left Qingshui Town.
In the carriage, the huge ape avatar had to curl up to sit.
"Go!"
Su Jie acted as the coachman and drove the carriage forward. He was slightly excited about the trip. After all, this was the first time he had gone to the outside world since he came to this world!
Three days later, outside Yinchuan Mountain.
On Yinchuan Mountain, poisonous bugs and wild beasts were rampant while humans were rarely seen. Only some hunting teams that relied on hunting for a living would enter Yinchuan Mountain. This was an excellent habitat for the ape avatar!
"Whew!"
Su Jie lifted the curtain of the carriage. The ape avatar stomped on the floor, causing the carriage to tremble violently. Its huge body rushed out of the carriage and landed heavily on the ground. In a few leaps, it used its huge hands and feet to disappear into the mountain path like a phantom.
"Harrumph!"
The yellow horse pulling the carriage neighed in shock. Su Jie had to comfort it repeatedly to calm it down.
In the Yinchuan Mountain, the ape avatar ran at high speed. The ape avatar felt like fish in water in this mountain range that was filled with Mother Nature's aura. It was as if he had returned home.
"Prey spotted!"
Su Jie's eyes suddenly lit up. Through the perspective of the ape avatar, he saw that there was a wild wolf enjoying a wild rabbit ten feet in front of the ape avatar under a big tree.
The wolf was huge for it was the size of an adult hound. Its fur was pale gray and it had sharp teeth.
When the ape avatar discovered the wild wolf, the wild wolf also discovered the existence of the ape avatar.
"Howl!"
The huge body of the ape avatar undoubtedly made the wild wolf feel extremely stressed. The wild wolf's fur stood on end and it howled. It bared its teeth, revealing its ferocious appearance as a show of force to make this ape retreat on its own.
However, the wild wolf's threatening posture simply taunted the ape avatar!
"BOOM!"
Without any warning, the ape avatar suddenly crossed a long distance while leaving behind an afterimage. Its right fist gravely struck the wild wolf's body as the air boomed around it.
BANG!
After a series of bone-shattering sounds, the wild wolf flew back seven or eight meters like a sandbag. It was as if it had been hit by a speeding truck. Its body was distorted beyond recognition. When it landed, it did not even have time to scream before it died!
This ferocious wild wolf was as weak as a baby in front of the ape avatar and could be crushed easily.
"Coo-ee!"
The ape avatar looked at the wolf's corpse and its stomach rumbled. Its appetite instinctively rose.
In the past, the ape avatar was fed by the Su family. At most, it had eaten raw meat. Now that it wanted to devour a wild beast, Su Jie was undoubtedly quite disgusted.
"Let's eat anyway. In the future, the ape avatar will have to survive in this deep forest. It has to eat raw meat and drink blood."
Su Jie finally made a decision. He controlled the ape avatar to start eating the wolf's corpse. From the perspective of the ape avatar, it was not disgusting at all!
"Let's go to Heiye City," Su Jie said after quickly withdrawing his consciousness.
The ape avatar ate everything, be it meat or vegetables. Both could be its food. It would definitely not be a problem for it to survive in Yinchuan Mountain. This way, Su Jie could save a lot of money.
Su Jie then set off for Heiye City. He took off the noose around the yellow horse's neck and temporarily placed the wooden carriage behind it in Yinchuan Mountain. This way, the yellow horse could travel faster. He could just retrieve the carriage when he returned.
After a day, Su Jie was still dozens of kilometers away from Heiye City. He galloped his horse and felt the wind brush past his face. He was quite excited. Many boys dreamed of riding a horse like this!
"Hmm?"
However, as they went through a path lined with trees, Su Jie was startled. He saw a thick hemp rope tied between two large trees. The rope was at the same height as the horse's legs. If he sped past and hit the rope, it would definitely trip the horse.
"Whew!"
Su Jie quickly tightened the reins. The yellow horse under him neighed and reared, almost throwing Su Jie off his horse, but he managed to stop it.
Su Jie's eyes focused slightly. He saw heads moving among the bushes that grew on both sides of the road. A good seven or eight men that were either tall or thin in plain clothes emerged. All of them held large shining knives.
"Are these … bandits?"
Su Jie thought of the term for them: 'Bandits!'
The group in front of him looked like bandits. They had set up a tripwire on the path and were carrying weapons. They were clearly a group of bandits!
"Get down, boy!"
This group of bandits quietly surrounded Su Jie. One of them, a man with a scar on his face, stared coldly at Su Jie and ordered.
"The outside world is too chaotic. The first time I come out, I meet bandits?" Su Jie felt helpless. He knew that the outside world was full of bandits, but he did not expect to meet bandits on his first trip out.
Su Jie subtly rolled his eyes and dismounted. He said with a fearful expression: "Gentlemen… don't kill me. I'll be obedient!"
"Boy, judging from your clothes, you must be from a well to do family. Hand over all the valuable things on you. We're only after money, not your life!"
The scar-faced man stared at Su Jie and said coldly.
"Little boy, listen to us and you won't lose your life!"
A man's sound could be heard behind a large tree to the side of the road.
The man was in his thirties or forties and looked like a refined scholar. He was tied to a big tree and was probably stopped and robbed by this group of bandits.
A cold look appeared in Su Jie's eyes. He had gone on this trip to purchase elixirs and had many banknotes with him. He would not let these bandits snatch them away!
