Traveling through the first year of Panlong and Magnolia

Chapter 15: Level 7 Dark Ape

There are not many level 7 monsters in Mogan Forest, and it takes some effort to find one.

For three days, Andrew wandered in the area close to the center of the forest. For now, he didn't want to challenge the level 8 monster Wind Wing Tiger King. The strength of the level 8 monster is far beyond that of the level 7 monster. Whether it is strength or speed, it is much stronger.

In fact, for high-level Warcraft, the gap between each level is huge.

Unless Andrew's fighting spirit breaks through to level seven and becomes a high-level warrior, his chance of escaping from the Wind Wing Tiger King will be no more than 30%.

There is a large canyon in the south of Mogan Forest. Both sides of the canyon are steep rocks, and the stone walls are extremely smooth, as if they were cut by a knife or an axe. There are few trees on the edge of the canyon, and it looks very desolate. When Andrew walked here, he felt something in his heart and stopped.

At night, darkness fell again, and the Mogan Forest was completely silent. Apart from the sound of the wind, there were only the sounds of insects, one after another, like a symphony.

Andrew sat cross-legged on a large rock, honing his Dou Qi. In his body, two dragon-shaped Dou Qi intertwined and rotated, converging in his Dantian and merging into one. This is the fusion of thunder and fire Dou Qi.

After practicing, Andrew took out the big knife and started carving. In the darkness, with little light, Andrew still accurately carved the big stone in front of him. It took him an hour to carve the original ten-foot-square stone into the two-tailed golden snake he had killed before. The stone carving showed the moment when the two-tailed golden snake performed magic, vivid and lifelike.

"The basics are complete, I feel like I'm almost there!"

At the moment the stone carving was completed, Andrew suddenly had an epiphany. The perfection of the foundation means that the weapon in the hand has become a part of the body. The man is inseparable from the knife, and the knife is inseparable from the man. The man is the knife, and the knife is the man. This is the meaning of the perfection of the foundation.

The long sword in Andrew's hand was not a magic weapon, but just an ordinary weapon. Weapons were not spiritual, so it was even more difficult to achieve the unity of man and sword. With his comprehension, he had practiced sword for six years, but now he had only touched the threshold of basic perfection. He didn't know how far he was from being able to lift heavy objects with ease.

Even so, he was not in a hurry. In cultivation, mentality is a big issue. One should not be impatient or reckless. Instead, one should proceed step by step, and success will come naturally.

Looking at the starry sky, Andrew suddenly swung his sword. The speed and force of this sword were normal, but with this simple slash, the sword energy flew five meters and directly cut off a protruding stone pillar on the opposite canyon. With a "crash", the protruding boulder fell into the canyon. At night, the sound was heard very far, very far away.

After the blow, Andrew seemed to have lost his ability to move, standing there motionless. More than two hours later, he began to swing the sword again, making various movements, but this time, there was no sword energy. This state lasted until the next morning, until the rising sun pierced his eyes and woke him up.

"I am, enlightened?"

Andrew was pleasantly surprised. He looked carefully and found that his body had undergone earth-shaking changes. Looking at the world again, he suddenly felt that everything around him had never been so intimate and clear. To him, it was as if he had entered a new world. He understood that he had made a breakthrough!

Last night, for some reason, Andrew entered a state of "epiphany" by chance. His strength was originally high, his mental strength was strong, and his mastery of swordsmanship was not to mention. All conditions were at the spiritual point, and he was almost able to break through and become a high-level warrior. It was this point that stuck him and forced him to come out for training.

"Ten years of hard work are not as good as a sudden enlightenment. It really makes sense. Sudden enlightenment is so mysterious!"

Andrew sighed. This opportunity is hard to come by. It is both a talent and luck. It cannot be forced. The sudden enlightenment overnight allowed him to successfully achieve basic perfection. From today on, the bottleneck of high-level warriors no longer exists.

Andrew looked up to the sky and howled. He had been waiting for this day for a long time. He had left his hometown three years ago, fought against the Iron-clad Pig for life and death, and practiced hard for three years... Now, everything was worth it!

With the long sword on his back, Andrew jumped a few times and left the canyon. His fighting spirit was boiling, and his desire to fight soared, so he wanted to find a high-level monster to vent. In order to lure the high-level monster out, Andrew deliberately made a lot of noise and walked all the way.

"Come on, don't let me down! I feel it, in five days at most, my fighting spirit will be able to break through and I will be able to become a high-level warrior. Today is my last battle as a mid-level warrior!" Andrew's face was full of excitement.

"Today, I must fight a great battle and kill the high-level monster with the strength of a mid-level warrior. There will be no such opportunity in the future!"

Andrew knew that in Panlong, the cultivation levels were strict, and it was very difficult to challenge a higher level, especially in his situation. However, he also had the confidence.

The fusion of thunder and fire is his confidence!

Sure enough, the huge noise attracted a level seven magical beast, the Dark Demon Ape.

The Dark Demon Ape is a high-level demon beast in the Mogan Forest second only to the Wind Winged Tiger King. The Keri tribe had encountered it before and lost a lot of tribesmen before they escaped from its pursuit, so the Great Elder also has information about it.

Andrew recalled that the Dark Ape was a seventh-level magical beast of the Dark Element. It had a strong body, a brutal temperament, and a strong desire for revenge. Once it started a fight, it would not stop until death. In addition, its magic was also very strange, and it could spray black flames. The victim's body would remain intact, but he would be in excruciating pain until he died.

Looking at it, Andrew became eager to fight.

This dark demon ape was three meters tall, similar in shape to a human, and covered in black hair. It was stout, with bulging muscles all over its body, and full of strength. What Andrew cared about most was its eyes. The dark demon ape's eyes were red, and people could not forget them at first sight. Those eyes were full of brutality and destructive aura, which was breathtaking, worthy of being a dark demon beast.

Facing the seventh-level monster, Andrew took out his sword, paused, and attacked first. He had no worries or fears in his heart, and he carved as he pleased, with his sword skills as smooth as flowing water.

As soon as the Dark Demon Ape stood still, Andrew flashed behind it, using the explosive step. One step covered a hundred meters, and he arrived in an instant.

However, the Dark Ape also reacted quickly. It was a top-level level seven magical beast with a very strong fighting instinct. It stretched out its thick right arm and was about to grab Andrew.

Facing this grab, Andrew's expression remained unchanged. He moved his long sword, seemingly slowly but actually quickly slashing at the ape's arm. Green light flowed on the sword, and his fighting spirit was contained but not released, showing his strong control. This was the result of his breakthrough. If it was before last night, he could have done this with all his strength, but it would never be as easy as it is now.

The Dark Demon Ape was unaware of the terrifying power of this knife and did not move. In the blink of an eye, his right arm was chopped off.

"laugh!"

With a slight sound, the nearly two-meter-long ape arm was cut off by the long knife like tofu.

Andrew was not surprised by this knife. The power of the fusion of fighting spirit was absolutely terrifying. Even he did not know the limit. Especially the fusion of thunder and fire, even if it was a sixth-level fighting spirit, it was definitely not something a seventh-level monster could resist.

"If an eighth-level monster is hit, it will also be injured. I wonder if it can break through the defense of a ninth-level monster..." Andrew thought to himself.

After cutting off the ape's arm, Andrew did not pursue the victory, but retreated.

He didn't take the Dark Demon Ape seriously. Andrew wanted to get some exercise by fighting it this time. So, he wouldn't kill it so quickly.

"It is rumored that the Dark Demon Ape will go berserk after being injured, and its strength will increase dramatically. Come on!"

The demon ape with a broken arm paused for a moment, then it actually picked up the right arm, put it to its mouth, and started to bite it. The huge right arm was quickly eaten clean by it, leaving only a white bone.

"Ow!"

The demon ape waved the bones and screamed. The rocks and trees were crushed to pieces under its feet. A strong airflow appeared out of nowhere around it.

"It's getting more violent, and its aura is even more cruel. Dark elements are actually overflowing from its body. Is this a talent?"

Not far away, Andrew quietly watched its changes, guessing in his heart.

The Dark Demon Ape was indeed going berserk. After going berserk, its body grew half as tall as before, reaching more than four meters to nearly five meters, and its aura more than doubled. The only thing that remained unchanged was its eyes. No, its eyes had also changed, becoming more ferocious than before.

"Ow!"

With a roar, the Dark Demon Ape used the bone of its right arm as a weapon, swung it in a circle, and smashed it at Andrew. It was high above him and had great strength, so this smash was as powerful as thunder and lightning, and should not be underestimated. A huge sound of breaking through the air roared, and a strong wind was generated out of thin air.

Andrew was a little hesitant. Should he fight hard or dodge?

"I can't dodge, I want to feel its strength!" Andrew made a decision in an instant.

The green broadsword was raised, and the five-foot-long broadsword met the white bone stick without hesitation. Both sides abandoned other skills and speed and began the competition relying solely on strength.

"when!"

With a crisp sound, Andrew was knocked away by the dark ape's powerful force, and his feet plowed a deep trench on the ground.

"What great strength! It's worthy of being a top-level level seven monster. In terms of strength, I'm afraid even a level nine warrior can't compare to it!" Andrew thought to himself. This time, he truly appreciated the monster's talent for strength.

The Dark Demon Ape was relentless, and with one leap, it came to Andrew's top and smashed him hard again. In its eyes, Andrew was an existence that would never die, and killing him and eating him was the Dark Demon Ape's goal.
