There are more than thirty ‘human-faced man-eating apes’.
If they weren't wearing any clothes and were covered in thick, long hair, no matter their appearance or physique, people would think that they were just tall and thin humans.
Kewen turned his head and looked around, at the 'human-faced man-eating apes' that surrounded him and Erza, and then at the one on the other side of the blood pool that was serving as a guide.
Looking at the opponent's smooth arms, Kewen knew clearly that he probably shaved off the long hair on his body in order to pretend to be human.
"Unforgivable..."
At this time, Erza next to her lowered her head and murmured. Her long straight red hair fell down like a waterfall, covering her entire face, making it impossible to see her expression.
"Unforgivable!"
There was another low shout, and Erza raised her head suddenly, staring angrily at the guide across the blood pool. Then she gritted her teeth and raised her hand to unsheath the long sword at her waist with a clang.
The unsheathed long sword seemed to become a fuse, and more than thirty "human-faced man-eating apes" lowered their bodies and made an attack posture.
Ke Wen looked around at the 'human-faced man-eating ape' that was roaring in fright, and said softly: "Is it okay?"
"Please give them all to me!"
Erza grabbed the hilt of the sword with both hands, stood the knight's sword upright in front of her, and said in a deep and angry tone: "This time it's not a sparring session anymore! This time! It's a war!"
Ke Wen nodded slightly, took out the staff from his pocket, stood it on the ground, and said softly: "Just use it to your heart's content, I'll help you figure it out."
"scare--"
The guide 'Human-faced Ape' suddenly roared loudly again, then waved his palm in the direction of Coven and Erza, and gave the attack command with a ferocious expression: "Tear them apart!"
"scare--"
The other 'human-faced apes' suddenly moved in response to the roar and quickly charged towards Coven and Erza.
Seeing this, Erza shouted loudly, and instead of taking a defensive stance, she charged towards the several 'human-faced man-eating apes' on the right.
Her petite body instantly rushed between several monsters. Erza's eyes showed murderous intent and her sword-wielding arms were waving rapidly.
A chaotic sword light appeared in a short moment, and when Erza passed through the gap between the 'human-faced apes', huge sword marks and black-purple blood appeared on the chests of the four 'human-faced apes'.
Poofing out.
Erza did not go to watch the result of the battle. Instead, she turned around after landing and rushed towards the 'Guide Demon Ape' on the other side of the blood pool.
Kewen stood there, glanced at the 'human-faced man-eating apes' defeated by Erza, and then shook his head slightly helplessly.
Although Erza said "unforgivable", the sword force of her attack was not fatal. At most, it would seriously injure those "human-faced man-eating apes".
Withdrawing his gaze, Kewen looked at Erza's figure again, taking care of her at all times.
At this moment, nine 'human-faced man-eating apes' suddenly pounced from the left and back.
Reflecting the opponent's extremely clear offensive awareness in his mind, Ke Wen lifted the staff a little and quickly lowered it without looking back.
"There are many obstacles."
A 'bang bang' sound was heard, and the nine 'human-faced man-eating apes' hit the invisible barrier one after another.
"Growth rapidly."
Amidst the sound of "Crack", many vines suddenly shot out from under the ground, rising to a height of more than four meters in the blink of an eye.
"Quick imprisonment."
Many rattans seemed to turn into tentacles, quickly confining and binding the nine 'human-faced man-eating apes' that hit the ground.
"The Upside Down Golden Bell."
Ke Wen whispered the last spell, and the next moment, the bodies of nine 'human-faced man-eating apes' floated up from the ground, and were finally hung upside down in the air by numerous canes.
At the same time, in the short period of time when Kewen took care of nine 'human-faced apes', Erza seriously injured ten more.
Now, the only remaining 'human-faced man-eating apes' that can still move freely are the guide and five others around him.
"impossible!"
Seeing that most of the tribesmen were defeated in an instant, the guide man-eating ape couldn't help but scream in disbelief: "How is it possible with your strength!"
Then he looked at Erza who was slowly walking towards him, and screamed again: "You can barely defeat Greybearmon! How is that possible!"
"because……"
Erza whispered a word, and then she clenched the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands. Small veins and blood vessels instantly stood out on the back of her snow-white hands.
Staring at the slightly collapsed guide, Erza suddenly shouted in a deep voice: "This is not a sparring session!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Erza's petite body quickly charged forward.
"Scared——"
The remaining "human-faced apes" screamed in fear and launched a siege reflexively.
However, Erza, who was absolutely serious, was completely different from her usual self.
Facing the siege again, she concentrated on adjusting her body shape to avoid the vital points, exchanging injuries for injuries. With a few more wounds on her pretty face and forearms, she successfully chopped down all the 'human-faced apes' to the ground.
Standing in the middle of the screaming and struggling 'human-faced man-eating apes' that fell to the ground, Erza only held her sword with her right hand, looking down at the wizard ape.
"no, do not want!"
The guide covered the diagonal scars on its chest, fluttering its legs and rubbing its body, trying to get away from Erza, and at the same time begging for mercy with a horrified look on its face: "I, I am not one of them! Look! I have no hair!"
I am human!"
"I won't be fooled again!"
Erza whispered in a low voice, then gritted her teeth, raised her sword, and stabbed it hard.
With a 'pop' sound, the sword blade easily broke through the muscles and bones, and instantly pierced the chest of the wizard ape.
After a scream, the wizarding ape suddenly rolled his eyes, his body became limp, and he could no longer move.
"call……"
Erza kept her movements for a while to adapt, then exhaled a breath, pulled the sword out of the opponent's chest, and turned to look at Coven.
Ke Wen had always been paying attention to Erza's every move. When he saw this, his figure instantly disappeared from the spot and reappeared in front of Erza in an instant.
The staff in his hand swayed gently, and the spell was released, removing the dust from Erza's body.
Then, Ke Wen took out a bottle of magic potion from his pocket, handed it to Erza and said, "Put some potion on it."
"Oh, thank you."
Her usual cute look returned slightly, Erza reached out to take the potion and thanked Kewen.
"Let's go." Ke Wen raised his eyes to look at the 'horn'-shaped mountain peak in the distance, and urged: "Let's apply medicine while we are on our way, and complete the task as soon as possible."
"good!"
Erza had just 'killed', so her mind was very confused, and she did whatever Coven said.
Turning around and walking toward the front of the canyon, Erza opened the medicine bottle and poured it carefully onto her forearm.
Ke Wen stepped forward to follow. After walking a few hundred meters away, he suddenly hit the ground with a little force while walking.
For a moment, the blood pool behind him was where Ke Wen was standing.
A flame suddenly swayed out of the ground, then grew rapidly, and soon turned into a giant flame python.
The flame python straightened its upper body and made an observation gesture, then suddenly swooped down, winding in a circle along the blood pool, covering all the bodies of the 'human-faced man-eating apes'.
Screams rang out one after another, and the bodies of all the 'human-faced man-eating apes' turned into pillars of fire, running and struggling, and gradually fell to the ground.
Even the guide demon ape that was supposed to be stabbed to death by Erza screamed and stood up in the flames. After a while, he fell to the ground again like the other demon apes, and his body gradually turned into ashes in the fire.
.
After all the 'human-faced man-eating apes' dissipated into nothingness, the flame python dived again and threw itself into the blood pool.
Not long after, the blood and the 'Demon Blood Flower' in the blood pool quickly evaporated, leaving only a large pit more than two meters deep in place.
In the center of the bottom of the pit, a spark swayed and danced for a moment, then disappeared with a 'pop'.
"Kewen, Kewen?"
At the exit of the canyon, Erza greeted in confusion.
"Huh?" Kewen suddenly came to his senses, turned to Erza and asked: "What's wrong?"
"Why are you in a daze?" Erza raised the empty potion bottle in her hand: "Do you still have the potion? This bottle is used up."
"Oh, there's more." Ke Wen responded and took out a bottle of magic potion from his pocket again.
Erza reached out to take it, opened the cork and asked curiously: "Where did you buy this potion? The therapeutic effect is amazing!"
As she spoke, Erza raised her forearm and stretched it out in front of Ke Wen.
"Look." Erza showed off the smooth skin of her forearm: "The previous wounds have disappeared!"
Seeing this, Ke Wen smiled: "I made it myself, and I will give you some more later."
"Then I can't have it." Erza immediately shook her head.
Withdrawing her arm, Erza continued to apply the potion on the small wound on her cheek, and said at the same time: "The elder father has taught us that we cannot take advantage of our companions. How much does your potion cost? I will use the money with you from now on."
Just buy it.”
"Then let's talk about it later." Ke Wen quickened his pace slightly: "Let's go, let's complete the task as soon as possible."
Erza hurriedly chased after her: "Wait a minute, slow down, I'm still applying medicine, help me see if the wounds are all covered..."
…
After more than two hours, the two finally found the target of their trip - Udeum Epiphylla - halfway up the mountainside of Niujiao Mountain.
There are seven petals in seven colors, and the whole flower is glowing with a hazy glow. No wonder someone would pay such a high price to buy it. Even Ke Wen thought it was beautiful.
Erza took out the flower pot and flower soil from her backpack, and carefully planted the broken flower branches into the flower pot.
With the magic flower soil of this kind, the short-lived 'Ultimate Epiphyllum' can always remain in full bloom.
Then the two of them searched again and found two other epiphyllums that happened to be in full bloom and planted them.
Then, Kewen pushed his palm in the air to open the portal.
The two of them walked into the portal one after another and returned to the guild hall in an instant. Before they could stand still, they suddenly heard many mocking and laughing sounds in the guild...
