Chapter 177: 1,000-year Purple Zoysia

Liu Feng stood to the front while Lan Xuanyu took the rear. Through the golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass, they were able to pull Qian Lei forward with an extremely fast speed, but they dropped their safety level as well.

Qian Lei squinted his eyes that darted about, silently grasping his surroundings. He had no need to expend any effort on his part and thus placed his perception on their surroundings.

Not long after traveling forward, the trio heard a low rumble toward their left. Qian Lei immediately turned his head to the direction and whispered. “Danger.”

Liu Feng immediately stopped as the three concealed their aura and squatted down beneath a bush.

“Should I summon?” Qian Lei asked Lan Xuanyu.

“Wait a minute. Liu Feng, take a look.” Lan Xuanyu turned and gestured to Liu Feng.

Liu Feng nodded his head and took off with the golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass on his waist. Taking the opportunity while the buff had not ended, he quickly charged towards the location of the sound.

After two shuffles, Liu Feng’s figure disappeared.

Qian Lei had his Coin of Summoning in hand, ready to summon at a moment’s notice. Liu Feng came back shortly.

“There are two soul beasts fighting as though they are competing for something. They are not weak. I believe both of them are at about 1,000-years. One of them is a Gold Silk Ape and the other is a Palm Tree Bear. They are not extremely strong soul beasts, but the two are engaged in an intense battle. Both of them are injured.”

Agility-type soul masters were most adept for reconnaissance. With Liu Feng’s description, Lan Xuanyu and Qian Lei immediately understood the situation. Their eyes lit up.

1,000-year soul beasts were the strongest opponents the three could face under normal circumstances at the moment. And there were two of them with heaven-bestowed luck as they were attempting to kill each other. If they were able to kill the two of them, the amount of points given would definitely be beneficial to them.

Lan Xuanyu immediately made the decision and spoke softly. “Let’s go take a look.”

Under Liu Feng’s guide, the three made their way quietly over to the two 1,000-year soul beasts.

It was not far, and very soon, they heard the roars and low rumbles produced by the soul beasts colliding.

Lan Xuanyu tugged on the golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass and alerted Liu Feng and Qian Lei, who immediately slowed down. Lan Xuanyu pointed to the Coin of Summoning. Qian Lei nodded his head and kept the coin.

They were close! They were able to clearly feel the shockwaves produced by the battle ahead of them, and the rumblings and roars were even more apparent. Under Liu Feng’s guide, the three hid behind a large tree and peeked.

In the distance, a large patch of shrubs were in a mess. Two large figures collided into each other and separated repeatedly as though they were fighting to their hearts’ content.

The Gold Silk Ape, also called the Gold Silk Devil Ape, was extremely eye-catching with its golden fur. With sunlight beaming down at it, it made it as though the ape was emitting light. It had a stature of about two meters tall with long and lanky arms. Whenever it jumped, it looked like a golden beam of light. It was extremely fast and would occasionally vault by relying on the large tree branches to change direction. Its arms were like iron hammers.

The gold fur on its body was not only beautiful but also had extremely strong defense capabilities. The Gold Silk Ape was also able to shoot out its furs like rays of light the size of a hair. It had a formidable close- and mid-range ability. But ordinarily, Gold Silk Apes treasured their own fur and would never release them so easily.

It was faced against the Palm Tree Bear, which had a stature of over four meters and was completely covered in sepia-colored fur. It had light brown eyes and had a V-shaped scar on its chest. Strangely, the V-shaped scar emitted a faint revolving light. It was not fast but was extremely strong. A few strikes from the Gold Silk Ape onto its body would occasionally produce a low sound, but the attacks were only able to cause the Palm Tree Bear to retreat and were unable to inflict severe injuries. But the seemingly foolish-looking attacks from the Palm Tree Bear were unable to land onto the Gold Silk Ape at all.

Overall, the Palm Tree Bear stood in place and remained unmoved while staring down at the Gold Silk Ape that was constantly moving about and attacking. As long as the Gold Silk Ape made any signs of approach, the Palm Tree Bear would wave its powerful arms to defend and counterattack.

The two soul beasts had wounds all over their bodies. The Gold Silk Ape had three large claw marks on its shoulder that extended down to its entire chest with blood flowing out of it. Obviously, the Palm Tree Bear had managed to land a strike. The Palm Tree Bear had an eye closed with blood flowing out from it as well as gold hair all over its neck. Evidently, it had been blinded by the Gold Silk Ape’s hair.

The two 1,000-year soul beasts had obviously gone all-out, as they collided against each other ferociously. With the shockwaves that radiated all around, the surrounding plants were either smashed or destroyed.

Qian Lei looked at Lan Xuanyu in excitement as though hinting on when they could take action.

Lan Xuanyu immediately shook his head.

What kind of joke was he trying to pull; a cornered beast would still fight and a dying soul beast’s counterattack was the most terrifying. Additionally, they did not have the Emerald Demon Bird or any killing-type soul beasts on hand. Lan Xuanyu reckoned it would be difficult to participate in the battle.

Qian Lei’s earthen dragon-type soul beasts were all 100-year soul beasts and were nothing in the face of two 1,000-year soul beasts fighting with their lives on the line. It was clearly not the right time to make a move.

Furthermore, Lan Xuanyu found it strange that both the Gold Silk Ape and Palm Tree Bear were amiable soul beasts not fond of fighting and would never initiate a battle. But they were engaged in the intense battle; there had to be a reason for it.

To not observe carefully under such a circumstance was definitely not a smart move.

So he gestured to his teammates to wait and carefully observed the battle.

Lan Xuanyu quickly discovered a problem.

The 1,000-year Palm Tree Bear stood to fight, but it never left its position at all. It did not move a single jot. It only swung its upper body and brandished its claws.

The Palm Tree Bear had an innate Soul Skill of Gravity Control and was able to increase the gravity in a certain area. This was the reason that the Gold Silk Ape was still struck despite its speed.

But Lan Xuanyu realized that the Palm Tree Bear hardly used its innate Soul Skill as though it was worried for something.

He indicated for Liu Feng and Qian Lei to remain as he quietly detoured around for a change in angle.

After roughly 10 meters out, he detoured around the side of the 1,000-year Palm Tree Bear and discovered the crux of the issue.

He saw a type of plant between the 1,000-year Palm Tree Bear’s legs.

The plant was small and looked extremely miniscule compared to the large Palm Tree Bear’s body. It was roughly 30 cm tall — completely dark purple with a parasol-shaped top, and the bottom connected to the ground. By its side was a snapped-off large tree. Lan Xuanyu was unsure which soul beast was the culprit. This meant that the unique plant was originally growing beneath the large tree.

Lan Xuanyu had gone through a few documents regarding immortal herbs. He immediately understood why the two soul beasts were engaged in such an intense battle.

The unique plant on the ground should be a Purple Zoysia, an immortal herb. By the looks of it, it should be at a maturity of 1,000 years. It was definitely a top-notch herb for Soul Masters and soul beasts. At a 1,000-year, any soul beast that consumed it would gain an increase in a 1,000 years. On the other hand, the herb provided many benefits to the human body if a human consumed it.

The two 1,000-year soul beasts were obviously fighting for the Purple Zoysia. Who wouldn’t want an increase of 1,000 years in cultivation? But the herb was extremely powerful and strong in its dosage and required time to be consumed. One had to be at an absolutely safe location before consuming it. Otherwise, the individual would not have any capability to fight and could be killed by anyone. That was the reason why the two soul beasts were engaged in the battle: They wanted to either chase or kill the other party before taking the Purple Zoysia away.
