*CRASH*
*CRACK*
Sam flew across the forest as he crashed into a large tree. The tree cracked in the middle and he fell on the ground with face first.
He stood up and looked into a distance coldly. There are some purple figures jumping one tree to another clearly visible to him. One such figure swung with the help of a tree branch that is relatively lower and launched itself on to Sam.
Sam activated metallic fusion and punched right at the purple figure which shot through the air and crashed into the trees nearby.
But it didn't stay there, it jumped once again and stood on a branch as it looked at Sam baring its teeth.
The purple figure is a primate. An Orangutan to be precise. It is also not too big. It is just a little bit bigger than a normal orangutan back on earth around 1.8 meters tall.
Yesterday, Sam has finally found the traces of the bear type beasts. He is actually very surprised by the delay because from what Shork said, the bears are not exactly scarce and he noticed bears of all cultivation levels.
Even the Consummate level ones.
But now that Sam is here. There is not a single sign of a bear. In this one month, there are no results and the mercenaries and individuals that came after him became a nuisance.
That is the reason he let the Wights out and let them deal with all these people. The Wights are on a spree. Each tree here has so much vitality that they would take months to absorb one completely and digest it. And a single tree would help them with break through. Some trees are even so good and nutritious to them that they might accelerate their breakthrough.
So, they are doing all the miscelanous things.
After this constant futile search, he finally found the traces of bares. The feces, the claw marks on the trees and territorial scent they leave with the urine. He saw all of them. But the bears are nowhere to be seen.
When he followed the traces, he finally came across the beasts, but they are not the bears he wanted. Rather they are the primates in front of him.
Not only the encounter was a surprise, it was actually a planned surprise.
The apes ambushed him out of nowhere and he crashed into the tree like this.
He is actually cautious, they are actually able to merge with the trees that he needed to use energy vision to distinguish their presence from the trees, but it was already too late by them and they already started pounding the crap out of him.
If not for his defense the attacks would have torn the Pre-transcendent cultivator apart.
Not only are they using the trees to their advantage they are even physically strong and active. It would be hard for an elite squad to escape the ambush.
Luck was on Sam's side as the concentrated attacks threw him out of the ambush zone and his strong physique and endurance helped him survive.
He is really angry at them.
He didn't provoke them, neither did he try to hunt them. In fact, as soon as he spotted them, he was already retreating, but these monkeys didn't leave him.
Generally, the Orangutans are peace-loving primates, except for this one.
These things don't have any sense propriety and don't have any respect for bloodline superiority and such.
Their sense are sharp in many ways except for recognizing superior beings. These are in a sense beasts similar to the Great Black Sharks.
Both don't care about the bloodline hierarchy.
But in some ways these things are worse than sharks. At least those sharks only hunt to eat and fight when provoked or to protect themselves, on the other hand these Purple Orangutans are a greedy bunch.
They will keep on eating as long as there is food. They will invade other territories and try to conquer the other race. And these things are omnivores. They eat meat like they are eating fruit. They have the worst qualities of the human combined with the worst qualities of the monkeys.
These things are a night mare for anyone that encounters them. The most irritating thing is that they are wood elemental beasts and they are extremely advantageous in forests. Now that Sam saw them, he is sure that the Green Cloaks must have learned their forest fighting techniques through these beasts.
Currently, the Wights are busy in some other area fighting with a batch of mercenaries and also cultivating.
It would be annoying to fight these beasts alone in a place like this.
Sam took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He used the crystal table to check the surrounding area for any other creature's presence.
Within the range there are only orangutans, no human, no elf, no centaur.
He looked at the beasts that are hanging over the trees, or sitting on the rocks or even the ground trying to surround all the while competing amongst themselves who could finish him off as if he is a dead man is pissing Sam off a bit.
These monkeys are not stupid after all. At least if they are stupid, he could have forgiven them easily. But they are intelligent and clearly a bit arrogant.
Sam waved his hand and Ape came out of the divine dimension. He is currently eating his meal and he has a bunch of fruits in his hands, when he saw all the orangutans that are looking at him with confusion, he looked at Sam in askance.
Sam gave him a look and the ape stuffed his face with the fruits and started munching on them and got ready to fight.
Sam and the ape got ready and the Orangutans are still confused by their actions and just like that, the fight started.
The ape is far bigger than the orangutans and its strength is clearly superior. It is also good with trees, jumping, climbing. Except for the wood elemental use, they have no advantage.
The Orangutans that are coming are receiving the most vicious punches they have ever experienced in their lives as they came at the Ape from all the sides.
Sam didn't go on full aggressive and hand and to hand. First he activated the wind element and jumped on to the trees. As he ran around the wind blades rolled around cutting down the branches and roots that are aiming for him along with disrupting the rhythm of the orangutans.
Soon the Orangutans caught up to him a bit and are about to attack him. Sam is currently stand him on the tree and jumped down as if he gave up the fight, when orangutans followed him, he waved his hand and Yanwu came out of the divine dimension.
The golden flames made the trees catch fire and the bunch of orangutans that jumped towards Sam are all the in mid-air completely unable to escape.
The screams of the monkeys resounded in the forest. Sam let Yanwu do his own thing. He started setting the Monkeys on fire along with the trees they are standing on. But the trees are too big to burn completely and faster so it is taking a bit of time.
But that is enough.
Sam's actions enraged the rest of the monkeys and they became more aggressive, he even watched as more and more orangutans joined the first group.
The monkeys are only growing numbers as the time went on.
Sam picked the tallest tree in surroundings and started climbing it up.
The trunk is large enough to be considered a wall and he used the metal element to use his hands as climbing spikes and started climbing upwards.
The Orangutans who are good at climbing swiftly followed as the height increased the trunk started to thin down and become less and less plausible for more monkeys to fit.
So after reaching a certain height, Sam looked at the large number of monkeys that are along the trunk climbing mindless and smirked before kicking and trunk and jumping outwards.
With a wave of his hands, Sky appeared out of the divine dimension and his wings started glowing with wind elemental energy.
Sam held on to Sky's back and both of them dove down with Sky's wing cutting the trunk vertically downwards and the Monkeys that are in the way of that started jumping down.
But Sky is faster than them and Sam Jumped down from the sky and let Dia out who increased the gravity around the tree.
Not only is the trunk falling down rapidly to the two sides, the monkeys are also falling down because of the gravity and right when they were about to hit the ground with the increased the force, earthen spikes came out of the grown crucifying them on the spot.
Sky, dropped Sam off and started assisting Yanwu.
The Monkeys that are chasing Sam reduced by half and they are looking at him angrily.
They are really angry to the point Sam can even see their eyes turning red and hear their teeth grinding.
