Chapter 20: The Monster Mandrill

"Squeak."

The black shadows in the white fog made sharp and piercing sounds as they shuttled through the crowd. Their figures were ghostly and their movements were swift, leaving no time for others to react.

"Oh no, Master, be careful?!"

The guards from all the major families shouted loudly.

"what!"

"what!"

Screams rang out one after another, and blood was everywhere. Several guards and children of noble families who were unable to escape were caught. The huge force tore them apart alive, and flesh and blood flew everywhere. It was extremely brutal.

"Ah, there's a monster!"

"Don't come over here, run away!"

The scene was in great chaos, with the children of aristocratic families scrambling to flee, immediately disrupting the formation.

In the chaos, an arm with long black hair and sharp claws reached out to Fang Qingwei.

"Hmph, looking for death!"

Butler Mu, who had been guarding Fang Qingwei, suddenly became furious and slapped her.

"Roar!"

The black shadow flew backwards and crashed into the tree trunk with a ferocious roar.

Only then did people see what those monsters looked like.

His entire body was pitch black, and he was extremely thin, like a mountain monkey, with long arms and a face that resembled a human.

"Roar, roar!" The monster that was knocked away howled with its teeth bared, turned over in an instant, climbed up the tree trunk, and disappeared. Even a palm strike from a master in the spiritual realm failed to hurt it.

"Oh no! It's a monster mandrill!" The man was horrified.

"Trouble." Li Ping'an's face darkened and he said something bad. This kind of creature was mentioned in the books he had read.

The so-called mandrill is a kind of mountain monster. It is long and black, has great strength, and has a green face and fangs.

According to legend, it runs faster than a leopard and is so powerful that it can tear tigers and leopards apart with its bare hands. It is the king of the mountains and has a long lifespan. Many people who go up the mountain are killed by its sneak attacks.

Spirits and monsters are animals that have become spirits. They generally have powers above the level of gods. The outstanding ones among them have developed their brains and spirits, which are no worse than humans in terms of psychic powers and supernatural powers. They have the power to create illusions, confuse the mind, etc.

In the classification of reincarnations, spirits and monsters are life forms at the two-star to three-star level. The difference lies in whether they have mastered spiritual power and begun to come into contact with supernatural powers.

Going a step further, stepping into the realm of supernatural powers, and even being able to transform into a human, that is enough to be called a "demon", an existence above four stars.

The mandrill in front of them was not a powerful monster, but it was still very ferocious to people like them.

"Hoohoo!"

The attacking mandrills were exposed and no longer concealed themselves, charging straight into the crowd. Each of them was extremely powerful, stronger than many warriors with strong aura and inner strength. They had thick skin and tough flesh, and were difficult to be injured by ordinary swords and knives.

In this environment of deep mountains and old forests, it is even more difficult to cope with than for a warrior in the realm of divine bravery.

"Miss, let's go quickly."

Seeing the swarm of mandrills attacking, the face of the spiritual realm steward Mu changed drastically, and he retreated with Fang Qingwei.

He was not afraid of such mountain monsters when he met them in the past. He could escape if he could not defeat them. As long as he did not meet the monsters that could develop the brain and control the mind, he would have nothing to fear.

But now that the Second Miss was right beside him, he dared not linger here. He could only keep retreating, hoping to escape from the white fog, which would make it much easier to deal with in the open space.

Fang Qingwei was almost dumbfounded at this moment. She had never encountered such a thing before and could only be dragged away.

In the white fog, it was pitch dark and impossible to find the direction. Moreover, the crowd was in chaos and even the guards could hardly take care of anyone. The masters of the divine realm from several large families could not take care of anything and could only fight and retreat.

From time to time, people were pulled into the group of mandrills, and their bodies were separated amid screams.

Li Pingan was also in big trouble at this time.

"Roar!"

Suddenly he felt a gust of fishy wind, and a mandrill with black hair, a green face and fangs jumped down from above his head. Its sharp claws and fangs were like swords that could easily pierce through a human's flesh and blood.

Just as the ferocious claws were about to touch him, the gene lock was instantly unlocked.

At the critical moment, he raised the sword in his hand and barely blocked it.

"Crack, crack." The ferocious and sharp claws and the sword collided with each other, making a harsh sound. Li Ping'an only felt an extremely huge force pressing down from top to bottom, and the sword in his hand almost slipped out of his hand.

"Roar!" The mandrill roared ferociously, opened its bloody mouth, and stretched out its arms to grab him.

At this moment, the ferocious face of the mandrill was almost right in front of him. Li Pingan could see the bloody fangs in its mouth and smell the disgusting breath.

"Get out of my way!"

Li Ping'an roared, and the power from somewhere in his body suddenly burst out, knocking the mandrill away.

You can see that veins on his arms are bulging, his muscles are like rocks, and his whole body seems to have swelled. He looks ferocious and exudes a hideous aura.

The mandrill jumped onto the tree trunk with a strange cry, and we could only avoid its attack.

"Master, hurry up and leave. I'll stop them!"

Li Tianhai roared, swung the long sword in his hand, and slashed hard in the chaos. At this moment, he was surrounded by several mandrills.

The glaring blood spurted out, and they were already beginning to suffer injuries. The situation of those who were weaker was even more miserable. The number of people was decreasing rapidly. The children of the aristocratic families had never seen such a horrifying scene, and they all began to cry for their parents.

“Woohoo.”

The surrounding mandrills roared excitedly, as if they couldn't wait to enjoy the flesh and blood of these humans.

"Damn it!" Li Ping'an cursed, not daring to stay for long, and fled out in the crowd.

This is different from a pack of wolves. This pack of mandrills is powerful and numerous. He may not be able to win in a one-on-one fight. Moreover, they are intelligent and can attack a group of people in the fog in the mountains, so he can only escape.

"oops."

Fang Qingwei was separated from the crowd at some point and fell to the ground.

Butler Mu was very powerful and had long been targeted by a group of powerful mandrills. He was surrounded and unable to move forward.

"Miss, please hurry up." He shouted there, struggling to hold on.

A skinny mandrill jumped over him and attacked her with its fangs and claws bared.

Fang Qingwei's pupils dilated instantly and her hair stood on end.

"Shh!"

A sharp sword was thrown out and slashed at a wonderful angle. The sword light flashed by, and the mandrill screamed, blood splattered everywhere. A huge sword wound was left on its long black-haired arm, and it retreated with a strange cry.

"Why don't you get up? What are you doing there?"

Li Ping'an reached out and pulled Fang Qingwei up.

At the critical moment, he saw Fang Qingwei fall to the ground, and he slashed with his sword to save her.

Li Ping'an didn't think too much about it when he rescued the man, just thinking of it as a way to repay the favor of giving him the fire talisman.

"Thank you for saving me." Fang Qingwei stood up, still a little frightened. She had always lived a life of luxury and had never encountered such an emergency. She had powerful martial arts skills but couldn't use them. She was no better than Li Ping'an.

"Let's go quickly."

Her face was filled with panic, and she was obviously frightened. She pulled Li Ping'an and ran away.

At this moment, Fang Qingwei no longer cared about her manners. Her snow-white clothes and boots exquisitely inlaid with beautiful jade were all stained by the mud, and she looked in a miserable state.

Li Ping'an did not hesitate. He could not care about other people at the moment. This group of mandrills was beyond his ability to defeat.

Without these young masters and young ladies holding them back, the situation of those powerful guards might be better.

"Didn't your sister Fang Qingxue give you any magical powers or magic weapons?"

He yelled as the two men fled.

Fang Qingwei's eyes turned red with anxiety, and she also shouted: "If I had it, I would have used it long ago."
