Chapter 86: How to capture an elephant

Chapter 86: How to capture an elephantIn fact, if Xu Hei were to encounter any threat, Man Jin would not hesitate to lend a hand. After all, this snake had done him a great favor, and he even planned to gift an ivory tusk in return.

But now, seeing the situation, it was clear that Xu Hei didn't need any help.

As the old ape threw his punch, his other hand tightly gripped a bone arrow, which was his true killing move.

Who would have thought that Xu Hei wouldn't confront him head-on but would retreat instead?

This cautious approach left the old ape with no chance to launch a sneak attack, making him extremely frustrated.

"Snake Demon, I don't want that territory anymore, so stop pushing me," the old ape said in a deep voice.

Xu Hei merely sneered.

"You lured the Golden Eagle to kill me, enticed the mongoose to kill me, and even tried to have the Wild Giant Elephant kill me. And now you say I'm the one being aggressive? Don't you find that laughable?"

Xu Hei had no intention of letting the old ape off and didn't want to waste words.

His eyes turned cold, and his flying sword shot out, accompanied by a dozen scales.

At the same time, a rock golem appeared, casting the Flying Stone Technique. Countless granite stones were hurled at the old ape, not aiming for the center but spreading out to block any possible escape routes.

Each flying stone had a Fire Explosion Talisman attached, which was no joke and could be deadly.

When Xu Hei made a move, it was a thunderous strike.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A series of violent explosions ensued. The old ape wielded a stick, continuously swinging it to deflect all the approaching magical artifacts and stones, but he was still severely affected, spitting blood and having countless wounds cut by the scales.

"Earth Prison Technique!"

With a thought, Xu Hei made the earth rise and wrap around the old ape.

The old ape was tenacious, pulling out a flying sword to cut through the Earth Prison Technique.

"Earth Sink!"

Xu Hei used another Earth Element Spell, turning the ground beneath the old ape into a swamp, swallowing him up while countless earth spikes pierced toward him.

Wind Blade Technique, Fire Snake Technique, Lightning Strike Technique... Xu Hei unleashed various spells as if they cost nothing. He even took pills and used all kinds of stored talismans, igniting and releasing them.

The granite golem kept throwing rocks with Fire Explosion Talismans at the old ape, smashing and detonating them. A small lizard also appeared, spitting spiritual light at the old ape.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

It was as if an army was besieging a single person, with continuous explosions and deafening roars, making it impossible to see anything clearly. The ground shook as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing.

In the sky, Man Jin was dumbfounded.

He had never seen a demonic beast fight like this.

A gang fight? No! A duel? That didn't seem right either!

Who fights like this?

This was beyond ridiculous! Even human battles weren't this absurd!

This was Xu Hei's full-force attack, holding nothing back and using all his killing moves. He was even prepared to take a Divine Explosion Pill to fight to the death.

But the old ape didn't seem worthy of that.

"I hate this!"

Finally, after a heart-wrenching scream, the old ape fell silent, his aura dissipating.

Xu Hei continued his assault until his True Qi was nearly exhausted. Only then did he take a Rejuvenation Pill and send the golem to investigate.

By now, the area ahead was a wasteland, leaving a massive crater a hundred feet wide, filled with pits and darkness, as if it had been bombarded by countless artillery shells, leaving nothing behind.

The old ape's flesh was gone, leaving only a headless skeleton, indicating that its bones were extraordinary and incredibly tough.

"This gift is too valuable," Xu Hei said.

"This is the rule set by our ancestors. Please accept it!"

Man Jin said solemnly, "Our elephant tribe survives by making many friends. When I fall in the future, my tusks will also be left to those who have done good for our tribe."

In truth, if he hadn't just witnessed that battle, he would have only given one tusk at most.

But after that battle, his perspective was shaken. Xu Hei was worth it.

Xu Hei no longer hesitated and put the tusks into his storage bag. Then, he took out some pills as a return gift.

"These pills have their effects written on the bottles. They should be useful to your elephant tribe."

Xu Hei had obtained so many pills from the Purple Mist Sect that he couldn't use them all. Sharing some was no big deal.

Xu Hei believed that saving the elephant herd was a simple act, and he needed to give something in return.

"This..."

Man Jin was stunned.

Pills were nothing to humans and could be easily obtained, but they were incredibly precious to demonic beasts, making it impossible for him to refuse—they were highly beneficial to his tribe.

Man Jin had given away many tusks, but this was the first time he had received a return gift, causing his emotions to surge and shaking him once again.

"Benefactor, how can I accept this?"

Man Jin said, his voice trembling with excitement.

Xu Hei smiled wryly. Despite his strength, Man Jin was straightforward and honest, holding no grudges and repaying kindness without any scheming.

For his benefactor, he had no reservations. Such precious tusks were given without hesitation.

The old ape had asked him to kill someone, and he had even come out personally, traveling a long distance.

"If you consider me a friend, there's no need to be polite," Xu Hei said.

Man Jin took a deep breath, put away the pills, and said firmly, "Benefactor, say no more. From now on, even if you ask me to climb a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of fire, I won't hesitate! You are my friend, and that is final!"
