Chapter 25: Silver-Armed Demon Ape

"The King has summoned me to patrol the mountains~~~ Hm hm hm hm"

"Catch a demonic beast for dinner~ Lulu lulu lulu"

"The water in these mountains is incredibly sweet, and I envy neither mandarin ducks nor immortals~~ Hm hm hm lulu lulu."

In the jungle, Ye Xiyun sat on the boar's back, carrying a long spear. With the massive size of the boar, it was like a tank crashing through the jungle. Behind Ye Xiyun and the boar, seven piglets followed, responding with oinks and grunts to Ye Xiyun's singing.

At this moment, Ye Xiyun felt like he was invincible in the jungle.

I'm the King of the Jungle! (我是丛林之王)

He even had the leisure to pick some fruit from passing trees and take a couple of bites.

"This is outrageous! This is outrageous!" Inside the Elder's Hall, Sixth Elder waved his sleeves and said, "What is he doing? This is a trial, and he— he doesn't take our trial seriously."

"Sixth Junior Brother, don't be so agitated," Yunxiao Zhenren said to Sixth Elder. "The trial is about selecting suitable disciples and observing their talents and abilities. Hasn't he already demonstrated his abilities to us?"

"He demonstrated what?" Sixth Elder rolled his eyes and said, "Since the trial began, he's just been feeding a group of pigs. When he encountered a first-level demonic beast, he didn't even fight and just ran away. What abilities did he demonstrate? Pig farming? Well, Fourth Senior Brother's mountain could use a pig farmer."

"Pig farming is the job of miscellaneous disciples, Sixth Junior Brother. Why are you saying these things?" Fourth Elder, Song Zhiming, replied.

Among the seven elders of the Tianxuan Sect, Second Elder was in charge of punishments, Third Elder excelled in refining, Fifth Elder specialized in alchemy, Sixth Elder was proficient in talismans, Seventh Elder was a master of formations, Fourth Elder was obsessed with body refinement, and the Sect Leader, Yunxiao Zhenren, was the best in swordsmanship, an unparalleled swordsman. These seven people had all studied under the same master and had ventured through the cultivation world for several years before forming the Tianxuan Sect.

As for the pig farm on Fourth Elder Song Zhiming's mountain, it was indeed managed by miscellaneous disciples. The reason was that Fourth Elder's body refinement required a large amount of meat for nourishment, and continually consuming demonic beast meat was too extravagant. Therefore, Fourth Elder had specially trained a group of disciples to feed the pigs for him.

Now, Ye Xiyun's performance made Sixth Elder feel that he had no outstanding qualities and should just be sent to Fourth Elder's mountain to raise pigs.

"Sixth Senior Uncle, how can you say it's pig farming?" Yun Yao started speaking up for Ye Xiyun. "That big wild boar is, after all, a demonic beast. He easily tamed this group of demonic beasts. Second Senior Uncle, do you think he might have an affinity for animal taming?"

"Second Senior Brother, what do you think?" Yunxiao Zhenren turned to Second Elder and asked.

Second Elder looked at Ye Xiyun in the Qingyun Ancient Mirror and shook his head. "Animal taming talent requires an affinity with spiritual beasts, which can't be determined just by feeding a pig. However, this kid has indeed been lucky."

As Second Elder spoke, he even wore a rare smile.

But inside the Qingyun Ancient Mirror, amidst the treetops on Ye Xiyun's head, several shadowy figures were seen.

"Silver-Armed Demon Ape!" When several elders saw the creature appearing in the Qingyun Ancient Mirror, they couldn't help but laugh.

A first-level demonic beast, the Silver-Armed Demon Ape, was a relatively challenging creature to deal with in the wild. They usually lived in groups of three to five in the trees, with a body size ranging from two to three meters. They had black fur on their bodies, and only their arms had silver-white fur. Their physical qualities were strong, their nature was stubborn, and they were fierce and combative. Once caught by them, you would either be beaten half to death or scared away. It was difficult to get rid of them.

With Ye Xiyun riding the boar and appearing to be fearless in the jungle, he might lose this advantage when facing the Silver-Armed Demon Apes, which could easily climb trees.

As expected, just as the elders had anticipated, while Ye Xiyun was singing loudly while riding on the boar, one of the Silver-Armed Demon Apes leaped down from a tree and lunged at Ye Xiyun on the boar's back.

"What?" Ye Xiyun turned around, his face changing when he saw the Silver-Armed Demon Ape leaping towards him.

Inside Ye Xiyun, Hua Zhongxian began providing information about the Silver-Armed Demon Ape.

The demon ape grabbed the long spear in Ye Xiyun's hand, then flipped onto the boar's back and kicked Ye Xiyun off the boar with a powerful blow. Ye Xiyun, facing the demon ape's kick, promptly discarded his spear, crossed his arms over his chest, and was kicked by the demon ape like a projectile, crashing into a nearby ancient tree.

"Ugh! Cough, cough..." Upon being slammed against the tree, Ye Xiyun felt like his organs had just been rearranged, causing extreme discomfort. The wild boar, upon seeing this, was furious and about to attack, but it noticed the Silver-Armed Demon Ape and, seeing Ye Xiyun's condition, became enraged but found itself helpless. The Silver-Armed Demon Ape agilely climbed up a tree, evading the boar's attack.

After successfully ambushing Ye Xiyun, the Silver-Armed Demon Ape did not leave but picked some fruits from somewhere and continued to throw them at Ye Xiyun.

"Silver-Armed Demon Ape!" While Ye Xiyun evaded the demon ape's attacks, Hua Zhongxian inside him said, "A type of martial maniac demonic beast. They have stubborn and fierce personalities, are particularly combative, and once they latch onto someone, they either beat them half to death or submit. If not, they will continue to harass their target."

"Is there any way to deal with them?" Ye Xiyun asked.

"In general, low-level demonic beasts like these are easily beaten by cultivators and run away. There's a simple way to deal with them, so who needs to think of other methods?" Hua Zhongxian replied.

"The problem is, even if I can beat them, they are all in the trees. How do I fight them?" Ye Xiyun said.

"Don't worry, I told you that these monkeys are martial maniacs. As long as you show them martial etiquette, they will naturally come down from the trees and engage you one-on-one," Hua Zhongxian said.

"Do these monkeys have principles like that?" Ye Xiyun was momentarily surprised. He looked up at the Silver-Armed Demon Apes in the trees, took a stance, and gave a martial salute. Immediately, the troublesome monkeys on the trees stopped their antics.
