Chapter 1061: Sculptor Gorilla
Sam and the team moved that very afternoon after they got enough information from the merchants. They used the divine dimension to reach the next realm.
But they didn't go for the temple immediately, as much as the merchants gave the information, it is clearly not sufficient to make a move, they must first enter the city to get some more detailed info before proceeding with their tasks.
While the team entered the city with the temple, Sam and Sia are roaming in the forests as they looked around.
There is one more piece of information that they got from the merchants and that is the other main business in the vicinity of the city and it turned out to be the fruits.
The forests surrounding the city have some wild fruits that could only be grown in natural conditions, they are not suitable for making orchards.
And these fruits are of quite a high level that they are mostly used for making medicine, no one ever dares to eat them directly.
When Sam heard this he couldn't help but feel a bit hungry. If such fruit is grown in the divine dimension, the wine that could be made from it would on a whole different level. So, he immediately decided to try and find the trees from the forest, even if he cannot just uproot the trees because of their rarity, a twig is sufficient for him as long as it can be planted.
And Sia the one with the ambition of becoming a great liquor maker would never miss such an opportunity.
Sam let the ape out to find the fruit trees. He is the best at this job.
They stayed in the forest until evening and they were quite busy with their jobs. Just before they were about to go to the city and get to their main job, the ape suddenly became aggressive and started looking around sniffing for the scent. Its expression showed extreme anger.
This is very for him to behave like that. After all, Ape's character mellowed a lot as he practiced making liquor. It is an art that he is practicing diligently, this made his mind to evolve further and made him more gentle and thoughtful.
He even stopped most of his petty squabbles with Yanwu who steals his wine again and again.
For him to react like this, Sam couldn't help but frown. He tried to calm him down and asked.
"What happened?"
Sam asked the ape and the latter replied as he pointed at a specific direction.
Sam frowned and said.
"Let us go and check then. Don't worry. No matter who it is, I will help them as long as you say so."
The aggression of the ape mellowed down a bit as he started running. Sia and Sam followed behind them, Sia with her shadow technique and Sam on his hoverboard.
Soon, they arrived at the location, they at the edge of a small cliff. It is not that large. They could clearly see what is happening beneath.
There are two people one from the Winged race and another one from the Demi Giant race both of them seemed to be only Consummate stage cultivators. They are quite weak. But that is not what caught their attention.
At this moment, there is an ape near them. It is only of Mortal Plane Transcendent stage. It is currently weeping as there are many injuries on its body.
It limped towards a tree within the valley and plucked a fruit before bringing it back to the two people. It bowed on the floor and offered the fruit to them as it begged in its own language.
It has grey stone-colored fur and it looked more like a gorilla.
Sam was stunned when he saw this. This is one of the high-level races.
They are called Sculptor gorillas. These are not supposed to be anywhere near this realm. Their blood superiority is right beside the Golden Ape.
They are extremely good at stone sculpting. They stay in small families, mostly with few males and few female gorillas with their children. They only do a few things, cultivate fruit, roam around the forest and sculpt whatever they saw in the forest on the rocks and mountains. They would migrate to a different place to sculpt where there is no stone structure in their vicinity or if there are fruits in their surroundings.
They don't eat meat and only survive on fruit. They are better than Golden Ape in finding the fruits and such. They don't interact with other creatures that much and they don't have any enmity with others as well. Since they don't depend on meat and stay close to each other, the other beasts also don't hunt them for food.
But there is one drawback in these creatures, they don't like to fight. They get hurt when they saw others killing each other. They even thank the trees that offer them fruits and that is not just figuratively, it is literally.
Because of their abilities, they offer better fruits for other beast races in the forest in exchange for protection and they make wine that could heal other beasts when they are injured. They are one of the most peaceful creatures to ever exist.
They cannot see anyone getting hurt.
For that reason, the tribe is in one of the most secured locations in higher realms and the beasts of the forest protect this tribe properly.
For such a creature to suffer like this, Sam couldn't help but feel a bit angry. He didn't even know how the gorilla appeared here, but from the looks of it, it is not having a good time.
"What do you want to leave?" The demi giant asked the gorilla with a smug expression.
Gorilla nodded with tears in his eyes.
"Okay then leave."
The Gorilla felt surprised but it bowed once again and slowly walked away, time to time it turned back and looked at the duo as if it is afraid that they would go back on their words. Once it is at a fair distance away, it was about to start running, at this moment, the winged race guy threw a chain sickle at the gorilla.
It stuck into the leg of the gorilla and Sam's party understood how the limp appeared.
The muscles of the gorilla are strong and the sickle managed to get stuck there. The Demi-Giant help the chain and started dragging the gorilla.
"GRRRAAAA... Grraaw."
The gorilla started screaming in pain as it tried to move forward, it once again resorted to begging and pleading.
Ape wanted to move out immediately, but he looked at Sam for approval. Sam nodded and the ape disappeared in a golden flash.
With a chop from his arm the chain was cut and the ape walked towards the Gorilla.
When the gorilla saw the ape, it was frightened at first, but when he noticed that they are of a similar kind, and also very strong, it became a bit courageous.
Ape sat beside the gorilla and checked the wounds, before yelling at Sam.
Sam and Sia slid down the cliff. Sam went to the Gorilla and Sia went to the two brats who wanted to run away. She made them faint instantly and looked after them so that they won't escape.
Sam examined the injuries and couldn't help but frown once again. There is a special poison on the chain sickle blade that would enhance the pain. He couldn't help but get angrier as he observed the condition of the gorilla.
He instantly put him to sleep before carrying out the treatment.
There are some places that need some surgery. These guys are using different poisons on the gorillas which made the flesh change in many places. These pieces of flesh need to be removed. Sam finished everything and took out some medicine to heal the gorilla completely.
Only after the gorilla completely woke up did his frown relax.
He let the ape coax the gorilla and let him rest before walking towards the two people who are currently tied laying down on the ground.
Sam threw a splash of water to wake them up.
They woke up in shock and looked around. Then they realized where they were and what they were doing.
They looked at Sam and Sia before pointing their fingers at them. The Demi giant yelled.
"Who are you? Why are you interfering in our matters? Are you trying to steal our gorilla? You better give it back or..."
Before he could speak, the demi giant and the winged race guy felt like they saw a flash before their eyes, and their arms which they extended to point their fingers at Sam were chopped off.
They didn't even realize it immediately and it took some time for them to react.
"AAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHH..."
"NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO...."
Two screams echoed in the valley they are in, the winged race guy desperately opened his wings and wanted to fly away. Sam just waved his hand and two wind blades cut the wings down making him crash into the ground.
