Chapter 400: Chapter 454: The Shadow Reappears, Cannibal Ape!

Their eyes bulged and blood spurted from their mouths and noses.

Though already dead, their bodies still stood erect, blocking the path of the Poison Wolf.

"Foolish creatures!"

A bright white light flared from the Poison Wolf’s feet as he violently kicked the two corpses away for dozens of meters, striding towards Jiang Yifei. However, the surroundings were a vast expanse of forest, with no sign of anyone.

"Damn it, he got away."

Using the moonlight, the Poison Wolf scanned the area with his eyes.

"Forget it, as long as he dares to vie for the Essence Fruit, we’ll inevitably meet again. It won’t be too late to kill him then," Chen Nan said.

The Poison Wolf nodded, "That’s the only way."

At this moment, the two Eighth Layer Heaven Martial Artists walked over. The one with lighter injuries bowed with a fist and said, "Thank you both for saving our lives! My name is Wang Zhen, and this is my younger brother, Wang Han."

"No need for courtesies. Jiang Yifei is my enemy as well. Do not take it to heart," Chen Nan said with a faint smile. However, just at that moment—

"Swoosh..."

A figure moved, the same shadow that had appeared twice before, once again flashed by in front of them, its speed so fast it was like lightning.

"Who exactly are you? Show yourself!" Chen Nan called out.

His voice echoed in the forest, with silence all around, no movement whatsoever, as if that shadow had never appeared at all.

"Let’s stick together and move on," Chen Nan suggested to the two Eighth Layer Heaven Martial Artists.

After all, now deep within the Qianzhong Mountain Range, no one knew what dangers lay ahead; having two more friends was definitely better than having two more enemies.

"We could ask for nothing better!"

Wang Zhen quickly agreed, supporting his injured brother, Wang Han, as they proceeded with Chen Nan.

For a long time afterward, the shadow did not reappear, until everyone had slightly relaxed their vigilance—

"Hiss..."

The shadow appeared once more, this time not just flitting around, but directly pouncing on the severely injured Wang Han. Before anyone could react, a palm-sized bloody hole was torn in Wang Han’s chest, his heart plucked out by the shadow.

"Boom..."

Chen Nan and the Poison Wolf almost acted at the same time, their unmatchable Hand Power shaking the Void as they tore towards the shadow.

Yet, the speed of the shadow was simply too fast. After taking Wang Han’s heart, it flashed and vanished once again into the forest.

"Thud..."

Wang Han’s corpse fell to the ground, the fresh blood staining the dry branches underneath red.

"Little Han!"

Wang Zhen roared hoarsely, embracing the body of his brother and bursting into tears.

"What in the world is this thing? Its speed is so fast," Chen Nan said, looking around, the forest eerily strange.

After being silent for a while, the Poison Wolf spoke, "This damn thing only strikes from the shadows and doesn’t dare to confront us openly. It probably just has speed to its advantage; its strength may not be that great. Everyone be cautious, and we should be able to handle it."

After comforting Wang Zhen for a while, the three of them set off again.

As for the body of Wang Han, pressured by time, they had no choice but to leave it in the forest.

"Little Han, I swear I will avenge you," Wang Zhen promised through gritted teeth, clenching his fists.

After walking about two li, suddenly a "swoosh" sound was heard, and a white light shot from up ahead, smashing towards Wang Zhen’s face.

Wang Zhen hurriedly raised his fist to strike.

"Crack..."

The crisp sound echoed, Wang Zhen smashed the white light onto the ground with a punch, sending it rolling out more than ten meters away—it turned out to be a White Bone Skull!

How could a Skull fly over from out of nowhere?

Everyone furrowed their brows, but in the next moment, several more sounds of slicing through the air came, and three beams of white light quickly rushed towards them, aiming at Chen Nan and the other two.

"Snap, snap, snap..."

The three of them swung their fists simultaneously, directly shattering the white beams, and three Skulls fell to the ground.

However, at the same time, that dark shadow flashed again, pouncing straight towards Wang Zhen.

Wang Zhen was deeply shocked. He had just shattered the Skull and hadn’t even retracted his fist when he faced the attack of the dark shadow. Hastily defending, he found himself a step too slow; with a "pu," blood sprayed as the claw of the shadow had already pierced into his chest and clutched his heart.

"Hiss..."

Blood gushed, and Wang Zhen’s heart was gruesomely ripped out by the shadow.

Clutching his bleeding heart, he tried to escape, but by then Chen Nan and Poison Wolf’s attacks had arrived.

"Boom!"

The two experts struck with full force, landing a blow on the dark shadow.

"Roar!"

The shadow let out a mournful scream as it was sent flying more than a hundred meters by their joint attack, tumbling to the ground where it lay motionless.

Chen Nan and Poison Wolf exchanged glances and hurriedly rushed towards the shadow.

This time, they finally saw the true face of the dark shadow—it was actually a black-furred monkey with exceedingly sharp claws.

"This is a Cannibal Ape," said Poison Wolf.

Chen Nan nodded, "The ancient texts record that the speed of these Cannibal Apes can reach up to fifty times that of a human."

"Those Wang brothers have turned into scapegoats. Otherwise, given the Cannibal Ape’s speed, we would likely have been injured even if we didn’t die," Poison Wolf said.

"There might be more ahead; we need to be careful and cautious," Chen Nan said. "Otherwise, if we don’t get the Essence Fruit and instead lose our lives here, that would be a huge loss."

"One or two are manageable, but I hope we don’t encounter a whole troop. Otherwise, it’s really going to be trouble..."

As Poison Wolf was speaking, they felt a surge of dark shadows from behind, seemingly a large group of Cannibal Apes pouncing towards them.

"Shit, you jinx!" Chen Nan activated his True Qi, on guard.

Poison Wolf’s expression changed too, "What are you waiting for, run!"

"Run my ass, even if we tire ourselves to death, we can’t outrun these damn monkeys," Chen Nan was already prepared for battle.

"What’s the hurry, I brought grenades!"

Poison Wolf grabbed from his waist and pulled out two grenades, handing one to Chen Nan, "Let’s run first. When they catch up, just throw it behind us and blow these damn things to pieces."

Chen Nan hastily took the grenade, "Damn, it’s not ’damn’, they’re apes, not dogs."

"Damn, what time is it and you’re still arguing with me, just run!" Poison Wolf grabbed two grenades and bolted forward.

The brothers ran side by side for more than ten meters when Chen Nan looked back to see at least eight Cannibal Apes that had by now come within twenty meters of them, with the distance closing rapidly.

"First, each of us throws one. Blast these damn eight to death," roared Poison Wolf.

"It’s apes, not damn!"

"Screw your chatter, just throw!"

After pulling the pins and waiting two seconds, they both threw the grenades behind them, landing perfectly in front of the advancing Cannibal Apes.

The Cannibal Apes had no idea what these objects were, mistaking them for rocks, and paid them no mind as they charged toward the grenades, and then—tragedy struck.

"Boom..."
