Chapter 702 - 702 Monster Ape
702 Monster Ape
The more Ji Han spoke, the sadder she became. In the end, she squatted on the ground and sobbed.
Lu Benwei pursed his lips helplessly.
“Ji Han, don’t you realize that the people who died were all young girls like you?”
Ji Han raised her head with tears in her eyes.
“What I mean is, perhaps the condition your tribe reached with the Monster Ape is to sacrifice young girls like you.”
After a pause, Lu Benwei did not say the word “rape”.
“Nonsense!” Ji Han stood up from the ground.
She put her hands on her hips and accused Lu Benwei. “The tribe leader and my parents will harm me? Besides, the Monster Ape has protected us so many times. I won’t allow you to slander it.”
Lu Benwei sighed helplessly. “But think about it carefully. Why do those girls never come back every year when they go out to pay the tribute?”
Ji Han’s face turned red. She suddenly realized that something was wrong.
After that, she raised her voice. “Naturally, they were too weak and lost their lives in the vast mountains.”
Lu Benwei was speechless and pursed his lips.
Ji Han was too naive to the point of stupidity.
Patting the dust off her butt, Ji Han looked at the moon and said, “It’s late. I should leave. Thanks for the food.”
After saying that, she bowed to Lu Benwei.
Lu Benwei sighed helplessly. “I’ll go with you. There are too many fierce people on the road.”
“No need. You were disrespectful to the spirit just now. I’m afraid you’ll do something extreme!” Ji Han’s voice was very cold.
When Lu Benwei heard this, he was instantly furious. ‘Damn it. I reminded you out of kindness, but you treated me as a heartless person!’
“Alright then. I hope you can successfully summon the Monster Ape,” Lu Benwei said and left without looking back.
The moment Lu Benwei turned around, Ji Han smiled sweetly as she looked at Lu Benwei’s departing back.
“Thank you, Hongyi. You might be the last friend I know. I’m sorry!”
Two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks. Then, she wiped away her tears and showed a determined expression. She looked carefree, but she was meticulous.
How could she not know that her sisters were sacrificed to the Monster Ape by the tribe members and became the spirit’s food?
Ji Han went deep into the valley and followed the route marked on the map in her hand to find the habitat of the Monster Apes.
Along the way, she carefully explored, afraid that she would encounter a terrifying monster and cause all her previous efforts to be wasted.
“This, why are there so many monster corpses along the way?”
Ji Han’s small mouth was agape.
She had seen many fierce monsters killed by Lu Benwei, but she did not know that it was Lu Benwei who did it.
“This is the Sword-wielding Iron Vulture. It was born with a sword, but it was also born to fight. But not long ago, his sternum was smashed flat,” Ji Han said in surprise, “Who did this?”
Then, she continued to move forward and saw many monster corpses.
“This is the corpse of the Blood Wolf. It looks like it’s at least level 60. However, if it were to fight a level-70 human expert, even the elders of those large tribes would’ve to retreat. Now, its body has been smashed to pieces.”
She walked forward and checked the corpse of the Blood Wolf while enduring the rotten smell.
“The heart of the Blood Wolf hasn’t been taken away. It can strengthen the blood of a person by several times. Even in a big country, it’s a rare existence!”
Ji Han’s black eyes were filled with surprise. However, it soon dimmed. Soon, Ji Han had a guess.
“Could it be Hongyi?” Ji Han tilted her head and muttered.
“His origins are very mysterious. He might come from a big country like the Ming Country. It’s reasonable that he might not take a fancy to the heart of the Blood Wolf.”
Shaking her head, she denied it. “No, Hongyi looks the same age as me. Even if he’s the most peerless prodigy in the Ming Country, it’s impossible for him to defeat the Blood Wolf with his bare hands.”
As she walked, she came to the front of a cave. From afar, she could smell the thick stench of the monster inside.
Ji Han really wanted to take a deep breath and gather her courage. However, the stench made her give up on that idea.
“Spirit Lord, are you there?” Ji Han tiptoed and peered into the cave.
“Spirit Lord, are you there?” Ji Han called out softly again.
There was no response for a long time, but Ji Han could clearly feel the heavy breathing coming from the cave.
“Spirit Lord?” Ji Han called out and carefully probed the cave.
Finally, in the innermost part of the cave, he saw the Monster Ape curled up in a corner, holding its head with both hands and trembling.
“Too terrifying, simply too terrifying!” the Monster Ape spoke in human language, its voice filled with fear.
He was three meters tall, and his arms were thicker than a human thigh. This was because it had two triangular ears and two chilling fangs that curled up from its lower jaw. That was how the Monster Ape got its name.
“Spirit Lord, what’s wrong?” Ji Han used her fingertips to carefully poke the back of the Monster Ape.
“Ah!” the Devil Ape let out a loud cry, and the stone walls of the entire cave trembled. historical
Its black fur stood on end.
“Spare me, expert! Spare me, expert!” the Monster Ape turned around and said in horror.
Soon, he saw the appearance of another person. It was not the human expert he had seen before, but a human girl wearing an animal skin dress.
The Monster Ape’s eyes immediately lit up, and it sized up Ji Han with a lewd gaze.
“And you are?”
Ji Han was stunned for a moment before she heaved a sigh of relief. She tried her best to ensure that she was not afraid. She had come here with the determination to die, to fight for a sliver of hope for the Ji Tribe.
With a thud, she knelt and said sincerely, “I’m Ji Han of the Ji Tribe. I’m offering a tribute to you on behalf of the Ji Tribe. Please come out of the mountain and protect the Ji Tribe!”
..
On the other side, Lu Benwei felt extremely depressed. He had reminded her out of kindness, but she treated him like a donkey’s liver.
“Hey, stop hiding! Come out!” Lu Benwei shouted. The soft sand in front of him flowed down like quicksand.
A giant red scorpion crawled out of the sand. It looked like it was made of lava, and every joint of its body was ferocious, shining with red flames.
“Come here, let me beat you up!” Lu Benwei ordered.
Every joint of the giant red scorpion was trembling, but it did not dare to disobey. Following the beating, the red scorpion was beaten until its head was bleeding. Its bones and soul were trembling.
” I ask you, where’s the Monster Ape in the mountains?”
