The young woman blinked, and Philip let go of her.
“That’s the big guy! It has taken that thing. Let’s look for it quickly. Maybe it’s around somewhere.”
Licht took a deep breath and pointed at the bloodthirsty demon ape.
“Is that thing you mentioned the one in its hand?”
The demon ape was holding a treasure box in its hand, which looked quite natural if one did not observe carefully.
The stone box looked like an ax in the demon ape’s hands, and it was using the box to eat the Timberwolf.
Before the three could react, the lower-level beasts in the surroundings prostrated on the ground while shaking all over. Roars filled the woods, which seemed a bit intimidating.
Philip said, “Are those beasts going to mess with that big guy?”
“No, they’re waiting for the demon ape to finish eating and get the leftovers,” Licht said.
The beasts that had not developed an intelligence hovered around the demon ape anxiously, but none of them dared to go forward. Even though the demon ape was in bad shape, they were intimidated from the bottom of their hearts.
Eating high-level beasts could help improve their levels. Therefore, everyone was anxiously waiting for the leftovers.
Licht said, “These things have not developed intelligence. If the demon ape gives an order, all of them will attack us.”
“What is that thing? If we can’t deal with it, let’s back off. There’s no need to put our lives at stake because of a small thing.”
Licht had a point.
The young woman said, “I was looking for the Elemental Fruit, and I saw a stone box popping out from the ground. Then, they started fighting. Although I don’t know what that box is, it must be very important, or two overlords wouldn’t have fought over it.”
Overlord beasts were at the nine-star level!
They dominated one area and could command all the beasts!
Philip nodded and said, “I’ll lure these beasts away, and you two get ready to grab that box.”
He schooled his thoughts and slipped away quietly. He found a place convenient to make a retreat and spread his chimera wings. He hovered in the air and smiled down at the demon ape.
The rules of wind intertwined between his wings. Two forces mingled with each other, and a series of wind blades hit the demon ape endlessly.
Although the wind blades were mixed with the rules of wind, the effect on the demon ape was not very strong. After all, Philip had not fully comprehended the laws of wind.
The demon ape’s thick hide was strong enough to withstand these overwhelming wind blades. Even so, it was a huge mistake to disturb its meal.
The demon ape squatted on the ground, kicked off forcefully, and zoomed toward Philip.
Its roar was like a command, and all the surrounding beasts chased after Philip. The demon ape followed closely behind.
Philip flapped his wings and lured the beasts far away.
The demon ape did not continue the pursuit but returned to its cave with the Timberwolf on its shoulders. It flung the Timberwolf on the ground and the stone box into a corner before falling asleep.
During its sleep, elemental energy appeared all over the demon ape’s body.
The arm that broke during the fight with the Timberwolf just now was slowly healing. Its body was also purging some smelly residue.
