Chapter 87: Deal, A Temporary Contract!
The Golden-Armored Blue Ape looked at Liu Yan in surprise.
Liu Yan was clearly unable to keep up just a short while ago, but he suddenly became so much faster and was now on par with the Golden-Armored Blue Ape.
The Golden-Armored Blue Ape would never guess that it was the reason why Liu Yan improved on his speed so quickly.
Just then, Liu Yan was in a dilemma. He knew that if they continued to fight, it would be impossible to determine a winner between the two of them even if they went all out.
This was the first time Liu Yan had encountered a fierce beast of this calibre. He could not defeat it at all.
Right as Liu Yan was at a loss, he suddenly sensed that the Shadow Wolf was about to emerge.
Liu Yan decided to take a gamble, and released the Shadow Wolf.
Even if the Shadow Wolf transformed into the Ice and Fire Two-Headed Wolf, its combat strength was not as good as Liu Yan’s. Naturally, it was not enough to deal with the Golden-Armored Blue Ape. Liu Yan released the Shadow Wolf to see what it wanted to do.
After the Shadow Wolf emerged, it communicated with the Golden-Armored Blue Ape for a while. They were both fierce beasts, so they could talk to each other.
After a series of strange noises, the Shadow Wolf looked at Liu Yan and conveyed a message from the Golden-Armored Blue ape.
Even though Liu Yan could not understand what the Shadow Wolf was saying, he could make vague guesses about what it was getting at because of their contract and telepathy.
Basically, the Golden-Armored Blue Ape was trying to say that it was currently under the control of the magic spell, and ninety percent of its abilities were suppressed. It was constantly being tortured and was in great pain. If not for the magic spell, the Golden-Armored Blue Ape would have killed Liu Yan long ago.
However, the Golden-Armored Blue Ape also admitted that it was impressive for Liu Yan to have such strength at his tender age.
After Liu Yan learned the message that the Golden-Armored Blue Ape had, he was immediately surprised.
He did not expect that the Golden-Armored Blue Ape could show such strength even after being suppressed by a magic curse. Liu Yan needed to use all his might to fight the Ape.
If the Golden-Armored Blue Ape were unrestricted and could unleash its full strength, Liu Yan would not have been its match.
Liu Yan now understood why all the indicators showed that all the information about the Golden-Armored Blue Ape was unknown.
This Golden-Armored Blue Ape was already an existence that far surpassed the need for grades and levels.
However, after learning that the Golden-Armored Blue Ape had been restricted and tortured by the magic spell, Liu Yan came up with an idea and informed the Shadow Wolf at once.
Basically, because Liu Yan had previously learned about the hunting class, he could use the magic theories he learned to help the Golden-Armored Blue Ape when it came into contact with the magic spell.
Although Liu Yan could only remove some of the spells, this was better than nothing. If Liu Yan could suppress the spell’s effects, more of the Golden-Armored Blue Ape’s strength would be released.
Most importantly, the spells would stop torturing the Golden-Armored Blue Ape, and it would feel much better.
However, there was a prerequisite for all of this. Both parties had to sign a temporary contract, and the Golden-Armored Blue Ape would have to help Liu Yan and the others pass through the Taiji Mountains and enter the Yang Region.
Otherwise, if Liu Yan helped the Golden-Armored Blue Ape by removing the spell’s restrictions completely, the Ape would become a lot stronger. By then, Liu Yan would be no match for the Golden-Armored Blue Ape. Then, the chances of Liu Yan passing through the Taiji Mountains and getting into the Yang Region would fall drastically.
After the Shadow Wolf conveyed Liu Yan’s intentions to the Golden-Armored Blue Ape, the Ape looked at Liu Yan in surprise. It did not think that Liu Yan would actually be able to help it remove some of the restrictions. Even just a small part would satisfy the Golden-Armored Blue Ape.
The Golden-Armored Blue Ape thought briefly about Liu Yan’s terms of exchange. It knew that Liu Yan was quite strong, and it believed Liu Yan when he said he could remove the spell’s restrictions.
In addition, although Liu Yan had fought with and teased the Silverback Blue Apes for the entire night, he did not harm any of them.
This left a good impression on the Golden-Armored Blue Ape. These Silverback Blue Apes were its subordinates and its subjects, and the Golden-Armored Blue Ape cherished them deeply.
After some thinking, the Golden-Armored Blue Ape accepted Liu Yan’s conditions.
Liu Yan learned from the Shadow Wolf that the Golden-Armored Blue Ape had agreed. His face was instantly filled with joy. This way, everything would be resolved.
First, he told the Shadow Wolf to fetch Murong Xue and Chu Long. Then, Liu Yan himself approached the Golden-Armored Blue Ape and signed the temporary contract.
Unlike the contract that Liu Yan signed with the Shadow Wolf, this contract was only temporary. For a short time, the Golden-Armored Blue Ape would become Liu Yan’s pet. The contract would end when time was up or when it was canceled.
The Golden-Armored Blue Ape looked at the contract once more and when it confirmed that there was no problem, it agreed to sign the temporary contract.
A purple, hexagonal array appeared. A complex contract enveloped Liu Yan and the Golden-Armored Blue Ape.
Soon, the light disappeared, and the temporary contract was signed.
Unlike the lifetime contract between Liu Yan and the Shadow Wolf, where they would share a telepathic connection, there was no such connection between Liu Yan and the Golden-Armored Blue Ape.
However, Liu Yan could feel the existence and location of the Golden-Armored Blue Ape, and there was a rather weak connection.
At this time, the shadow wolf arrived with Murong Xue and Chu Long.
Seeing the Golden-Armored Blue Ape, the two women became nervous. This Golden-Armored Blue Ape’s aura was too strong, and it gave people a great sense of pressure.
They couldn’t even deal with the Silverback Blue Apes, let alone their superior.
The two women confused and did not quite understand why Liu Yan and the Golden-Armored Blue Ape were standing calmly without any conflict.
When Liu Yan saw Murong Xue and Chu Long arrive, he told them openly, “I have already made a deal with the Golden-Armored Blue Ape. We will let the Golden-Armored Blue Ape lead us through the tunnel of the Taiji Mountains and towards the Yang Region.”
“Really? That’s great!” When the two women heard this, their faces were instantly filled with excitement and joy.
The Golden-Armored Blue Ape roared a few times at the Silverback Blue Apes, probably instructing them to rest and wait at where they were. Then, the Golden-Armored Blue Ape gathered Liu Yan and the others. Together, they headed towards the Taiji Mountains.
Soon, following the Golden-Armored Blue Ape’s lead, Liu Yan and the others arrived in front of a tunnel. More accurately, this tunnel was a natural crack in the mountain.
The Taiji Mountains towered into the clouds, and many peaks were connected together.
And here, there was a rare crack in the mountain, which was about two meters wide. It was enough for Liu Yan and the others to pass through, and was just barely enough for the huge figure of the Golden-Armored Blue Ape to pass through.
The few of them followed behind the Golden-Armored Blue pe. Chu Long and Murong Xue looked at the Golden-Armored Blue Ape leading the way, their faces curious because it had stopped attacking them.
Murong Xue could not help but approach Liu Yan curiously. She asked in a low voice, “Liu Yan, how did you do it? Why did it stop attacking you?”
“Through my strength,” Liu Yan explained calmly. What he said was the truth.
If Liu Yan did not have enough strength to force a draw with the restrained Golden-Armored Blue Ape, it would not have given Liu Yan a chance to communicate. Naturally, it would not have been possible to make a deal. It was through Liu Yan were they able to successfully pass through the tunnel of the Taiji Mountains.
When Murong Xue heard this, her face was full of disbelief. In her opinion, the Golden-Armored Blue Ape was extremely powerful. While Liu Yan was powerful, his ability was far inferior to the Golden-Armored Blue Ape.
“If you don’t want to say it, just tell me you don’t want to. Why are you lying to me?” Murong Xue rolled her eyes at Liu Yan.
Chu Long, who was at the side, did not say anything. However, she stared at Liu Yan suspiciously. She and Liu Yan had grown up together, and so was more familiar with him. Chu Long knew that Liu Yan was not joking, but was serious.
