Chapter 400: Monkey
Chu Tian sat in the airship at forty thousand meters, moving forward at a set speed. The entire trip was very uneventful, not even shaking once in the past two days. Her either looked at the scenery or called Yingying and the young miss to pass the time.
The airship’s design was already very perfect.
The only thing to be dissatisfied with was.
It was too slow!
Of course, speed was perspective. It had to be known that the distance travelled by the airship in two days was equal to a horse travelling for ten days. The Forest of Chaos was not flat and had a complicated terrain, as well as many hidden dangers. If a normal horse, or even a wolf or leopard demon beast travelled through here, even riding a level two flying beast, it would take them a week to travel this distance.
With this comparison, could the airship still be called slow?
Not to mention that the airship had one superiority no mount could compare to which was absolute safety.
Because the airship safely cruised at thirty-forty thousand meters, the air here was very thin compared to the ground. Even if those demon beasts with wings used ten times their strength, they would not even be able to fly at half speed and perhaps they wouldn’t even be able to fly.
But for the airship, because the air was less dense up here, there was less resistance and turbulence, allowing it to fly even faster.
Only a top class life form like a dragon relying on spirit energy or a special power could fly this high, but there weren’t many of these legendary life forms on the continent. For this airship that was several tens of thousands of meters up to meet this kind of danger was minimal.
“Chairman, we’re almost there!”
“This is the airspace close to Green City. Because we don’t know the terrain down below, we can’t safely land. We ask the chairman to fly down.”
Several griffin knights in charge of the airship opened a cabin door for Chu Tian. This was the griffins’ stable and behind them was the cabin. When looking through the transparent glass, the entire sky was filled with a blue and white colour.
This was not the dark blue sky scene from the ground.
This was because a plane had a circle or an ellipse covering their space and time. If one looked at it from a creator’s angle, they would see a large bubble formed from space and time energy, but there were many materials inside of the bubble.
The turbid and heavy materials at the bottom formed the vast continent and the energy gathered above formed the sun, the air, and etc. Since ancient times, no one had measured this distance, of course a person couldn’t measure the distance of the sky. This was because space and time was in a fourth dimension and people living in a three dimensional world could not perceive the fourth dimension, being unable to feel the space and time structure. It was like how a person in a picture could not understand the three dimensional world.
Light and thunder, these positive energies belonged to the peak of the heavens.
Darkness and death, these negative energies sunk to the bottom of the earth.
Wind, fire, water, and earth, these common elements filled the entire space. This was the fundamental world theory that Chu Tian understood. This world was incomparably vast and complicated, but in the end it was ruled by the same laws.
“I don’t need a mount!”
“I’ll directly go down!”
Chu Tian rejected riding on the griffin and he opened the door to the outside. Looking down at the vast earth beneath him, he directly jumped down. Several griffin knights called out in shock, but couldn’t stop him in time. Chu Tian spread his limbs as he fell to the earth like a meteor.
Any kind of mount was just unnecessary.
He quickly hit the clouds and passed through the formess clouds, feeling a soft and smooth feeling running through his body. The large ground was quickly being enlarged in his eyes.
It’s about time!
Chu Tian took out a talisman and put it on himself. It was like his weight was reduced as he fell to the ground like a leaf, finally falling into the sea of trees. He cracked several branches with his speed and finally fell to the ground. Although he had the Feather Fall Talisman to reduce his weight, jumping from so high up, he still created a large hole in the ground where he landed.
It was a safe landing.
Chu Tian fixed his clothes and came out of the hole.
80% of the Forest of the Chaos was covered in trees, but the trees growing here were different. The distance between trees was much larger and they were tall and straight, with solid and strong trunks, looking like there were made of steel.
The spiritual energy here was very abundant and even normal plants would experience not small changes.
Chu Tian judged his location, this should be the north west of Green City, it was at least one-two hundred kilometers away. However, Chu Tian didn’t care because he never planned on entering Green City. This journey alone was mainly for collecting information.
When Chu Tian was prepared to leave.
The little fox drilled its head out and called out, “Zhi, zhi!”
Chu Tian immediately stopped. The little fox’s senses were sharper than his and would always detect danger before Chu Tian.
Almost at the same time.
A sense of danger enveloped him.
With Chu Tian’s strength, a normal level one or level two demon beast, or an Awakened Soul Cultivator could not threaten him. So for him to feel this kind of sense of danger, it had to be an existence with a decent amount of strength.
He pulled out his sword and turned around, sending out a sword glow.
Pa!
The sword qi flew out like a whip towards the person ambushing him.
This powerful energy tore several trees to pieces instantly, but the creature ambushing him only flew back with a cry. Turning in the air, it quickly ran away.
“What is it?”
Chu Tian did not see what the other side look like, so it could be imagined how fast it was.
The little fox waved its tail and made a gesture of scratching its head, which looked very strange. Chu Tian doubtfully asked, “Monkey?”
The little fox nodded.
This monkey that could block a slash from Chu Tian was not a simple monkey.
The little fox took out its eyeball. When the eyeball swept out around them, the little fox suddenly opened wide as it immediately shouted, telling Chu Tian to run.
Too late.
Angry sharp howls came from all around them.
Chu Tian’s brows jumped up. Could it be he landed in the middle of a bunch of monkeys?
Countless white forms appeared as these monkeys moved faster than the speed of light. So when the monkeys’ cries reached his ears, the figures had already disappeared as they charged out at him.
A white claw scratched through the air.
Chu Tian quickly used his Netherworld Sword to block in front of him. The four-five claw glows sent out an intense power that pushed Chu Tian back several steps, but Chu Tian reacted fast and immediately turned his hand to slash back.
The Netherworld Sword released stronger sword qi this time. The monkey was sent flying by the sword qi, shattering a tree to pieces. The monkey was covered in blood and there was Netherworld Flames on its fur. It did not immediately die and rolled around on the ground screaming, trying to put out the Netherworld Flame on its body.
Chu Tian’s sword qi could easily tear apart iron.
This monkey had taken a slash head on, but not only was it not split in two, it was rolling around the ground struggling. This powerful defense and strong vitality made one very shocked.
These monkeys moved at around the speed of sound, but they didn’t make a single sound when they moved, like they were using a high level movement technique. The claw glow they were using seemed to be some kind of technique.
It would be fine if there were one or two of these strong monkeys.
But once there were a lot of them, perhaps even a high level True Spirit Realm expert should not think of leaving. There were shadows constantly jumping out of the forest, so there must be several dozen of them.
It should have been Chu Tian’s slash against these monkeys that caused the ones in the forest to turn aggressive. However, they did slowly approach, so Chu Tian could see the monkeys’ real appearance.
The monkey was ash white and about a meter tall. Although it was not big, it was very nimble and its body was covered in a layer of white light.
Several of the monkeys spat out a white spiritual energy which grouped around the burning monkey screaming on the ground like clouds. The Netherworld Flames burning him were extinguished and it stood up in just a little while. Its skin was burned and it looked a little funny, but it bared its teeth and looked very energetic.
Chu Tian was a little surprised seeing this.
They could heal each other?
Chu Tian had not seen this kind of demon beast before, but from the skills they’ve displayed, the monkeys were not in the True Spirit Realm and were in Awakened Soul Realm. They also had unusual speed and were tough demon beasts, so it was naturally hard to deal with them.
Truly worthy of being the depths of the Forest of Chaos.
Even a random monkey’s nest was this hard to deal with. If he met a super level beast, Chu Tian’s life would be lost.
No other way.
He could only use a bit of strength!
The Demon God’s Sword soared into the sky.
Chu Tian gave a low roar as flames surrounded his body, instantly releasing the Flame Demon Transformation. Chu Tian was only in the peak 9th Awakened Soul Layer, but he instantly reached a state that could compare with True Spirit Cultivators. These monkeys were fast, but after Chu Tian used the Flame Demon Transformation and used the powers of the Netherworld Sword Art, he did not fear them!
These Spiritual Monkeys sensed an aura of danger and their hairs jumped up as they roared out, like they were prepared to go all out against Chu Tian.
“Stop!”
A voice suddenly came from the forest.
When the monkey’s heard this voice, their killing intents disappeared as they all moved back. Chu Tian was a but stunned seeing this. Could it be this wasn’t a demon beast lair and these monkeys were raised by someone?
Several people came out of the woods and when they saw Chu Tian, there was a bit of vigilance in their eyes.
