Chapter 999 - The Talking White Ape
Chapter 999: The Talking White Ape
Even Yan Kuan had never seen a Level 5 magical beast before. The most powerful magical beast he had ever seen was a blue grade one, and he had never even fought one before. Now, he actually saw a dying white ape lying there. It was actually a Level 5 species… They had no idea how to describe their feelings at this moment.
This white ape was about the same size as Yan Kuan. It was at most half a head taller, and its entire body was covered in white fur. It was not as huge as they had imagined. Instead, it looked very ordinary… It was so ordinary that they would not even think that it was aggressive at first glance.
“Little monkey, do you want us to save it?”
The white ape did not speak from the beginning to the end. Instead, it looked at the little monkey with an extremely kind gaze. Even when it looked at them, there was a hint of a smile on its face. It was as if it was not afraid that they would take advantage of it to take advantage of its serious injuries to take away the crystal.
“Ji ji ji–”
Alright, they did not understand.
However, they roughly understood what it meant. It indeed wanted them to save it.
The two of them looked at each other before Yan Kuan walked forward. He looked at the wound of the white ape. Fortunately, its internal organs were not damaged, but the wound was too big. It was obvious that the wound had been there for some time and had not healed. Now, its skin and flesh were still split open.
“If it were a human, it would definitely be sutured directly. If a wild beast was injured, it would either heal itself or wait for death, not to mention such a big wound. This white ape probably really thought that it was going to die, so it was so calm.”
“But to injure a Level 5 crystal magical beast, it should be at least Level 5, right? There are actually Level 5 magical beasts on the second layer of the forest?”
“That’s not strange. Not all magical beasts have to stay in the third layer of the forest. Humans know that the big one is hidden in the city, and the small one is hidden in the wild, let alone animals. I’ve always felt that animals are smarter than humans.”
“Oh, then can this white ape’s wound be saved?”
“After suturing it and reducing the inflammation, it should be able to survive. After all, it’s a Level 5 magical beast. If it didn’t have a certain recovery system, it probably wouldn’t have lasted until now. Looking at the wound, it has been at least half a month.”
“Then let me do it. Your leg is not well. You even walked so much just now. Lie down and rest.”
“Little monkey, tell your friend that I will treat it.”
The little monkey could indeed understand her words. In addition, Shen Xiaoxiao also patted the medical kit. The little monkey really understood in an instant.
It did not know what it was saying to the white ape, but they saw the white ape turn its head to look at them. Its eyes were still unguarded, which made Shen Xiaoxiao and Yan Kuan feel at ease.
But then the white ape opened its mouth and gave them a fright:
“Sorry to trouble you, human friend.”
“You can speak human language?”
“The white ape and humans are of the same race, and I am a Level 5 magical beast. Naturally, I can understand human language. You don’t have to be surprised. The other Level 5 magical beasts will not understand.”
“Oh, I see. But, this, this, this is really bad.”
The white ape looked very tired. It slowly closed its eyes and did not speak. It was very relieved that they were treating it.
It could understand what they were saying, so it naturally understood what Shen Xiaoxiao and Yan Kuan had said just now. It must have also known that they had no intention of taking the other party’s crystal. Therefore, the white ape was relieved about them. This was probably also the reason.
The white ape’s wound was long, and it was not recovering very well. It must have split open many times, and some parts of it had already festered. Shen Xiaoxiao had to carefully scrape off the festering parts, shave off the white ape’s fur, and then reduce the inflammation. Only then did she slowly sew it up with a needle.
The pain throughout the entire process was imaginable, but the white ape still closed its eyes and did not say a word. This made Shen Xiaoxiao have no choice but to speed up her own speed.
It took her at least half an hour to stitch up the white ape’s wound. She even sprinkled some medicinal powder on the wound and wrapped it with white gauze several times before she was able to completely clean up the white ape’s wound.
“Alright, white ape, you don’t need to remove the stitches on your wound. Change the dressing every day. As long as you don’t move around and rest properly, you’ll be able to heal in seven days.”
Hearing that the wound would heal in seven days, the white ape opened his eyes and looked at them in surprise.
Shen Xiaoxiao took a pill and fed it to the white ape. After the white ape swallowed it, it said,”Good job, my friend.”
Hearing the white ape’s words, Shen Xiaoxiao smiled. Then, she packed the medicine box and sat beside Yan Kuan. Seeing that the wound on his leg did not open, she heaved a sigh of relief.
The white ape looked at the two’s actions and continued:
“You want to enter the third layer of the forest?”
“Yes.”
They did not hide their intentions. Moreover, they had wanted to do so in the first place. It was rare for them to meet a magical beast that could speak and understand human language, so they did not want to hide anything at all.
“Sigh, after I recover from my injuries, I’ll bring you there. With just the two of you, there’s absolutely no way you can enter.”
“How can you be so sure? Although there are many magical beasts, this is the second layer of the forest. We can deal with magical beasts too.”
The white ape heard their words and looked at the two of them. However, its gaze paused for a moment at Yan Kuan’s waist before it said with understanding,”So that’s how it is. Young friend, you have the Black Axe to split the mountain. As expected, you have nothing to fear.”
The two of them lowered their heads at the same time and looked at the black, transparent axe. This white ape was talking about this axe, right? What was the meaning of this?
“Young friend, you are indeed lucky. There is no need for me to worry about this. Let my grandson lead the way for you.”
This was naturally referring to the little monkey. However, the golden monkey and the white ape did not seem to be of the same breed. It was actually the grandson of the white ape. However, when they thought of the fact that the ancestors of the monkeys and humans were all the same… They did not bother with this question anymore.
“White Ape, you are a Level 5 magical beast. I want to ask you something. Is there a white dragon in the third layer forest?”
When it heard this, the white ape was first stunned. Then, they saw the different expression on the white ape’s face for the first time since they had entered this place.
“You are going for the White Dragon?”
“What’s wrong? Is there really a white dragon?”
“If you’re going for the white dragon, I advise you to turn back as soon as possible. The White Dragon is an ancient divine beast. Although it’s trapped in the World of Magical Beasts with the Ghost Pond Qilin, it’s not something you can provoke.”
So serious? But they weren’t going for the white dragon. They were going for the two dolls on the white dragon’s body.
However, Yan Kuan was still smart. He immediately changed the topic and said to the white ape,”I wonder, White Ape, do you know that there are two human children in the third layer forest?”
“Human? Impossible. Other than you, I have never seen a human who dared to enter this place. Of course, there was one who was robbed of the second layer forest’s treasure more than ten years ago.”
The white ape glanced at the black axe in Yan Kuan’s hand. Naturally, it knew that the human who had stolen the axe more than ten years ago was this kid in front of it. However, it did not expect that the human who had luckily escaped more than ten years ago would still dare to return after more than ten years. He was quite brave.
“Little friend, since you’ve been here before, you should know the dangers here, not to mention that this is the third layer of the forest?”
“To be honest, our children have gotten separated from us. Moreover, someone had seen them together with the White Dragon before. That’s why we wanted to enter the third layer of the forest.”
“That’s impossible. The White Dragon is trapped by the immortal binding rope and cannot leave the deep pool at all. How did you guys see it?”
