Chapter 373: The Increase in Ape Gods’ Strength

Translator: Mercurial_ Editor: DarkGem

At that moment, Li Yunmu wasn’t at Blue Moon Island, but in mid sea region which was ten kilometers to the west.

Before departing, he had some matters to which he needed to attend. Given that he hadn’t come to check on the Refining Pagoda for a long time, there was a lot of blood essence from vicious beasts which had accumulated within it.

Li Yunmu collected all of it in a jade bottle and immersed them in the spring water in his heavenly world, thus ensuring that the blood essence wouldn’t decay for the time being.

Apart from that, Li Yunmu had another objective, and it was to ask for the reports of external crises from the patrolling ape gods.

The leader of the patrol squad was known as Mountain Ape. It was the name given to it by Li Yunmu for its clever and wise actions. In truth, he had named all the leaders of the hunting squad, rescue squad, and patrolling squad as Ba Ape, Virtuous Ape, and Mountain Ape respectively.

"You are saying that around ten days ago, there were people from outside who had snuck in to investigate our mid sea region?"

"Hou hou..."

Mountain Ape promptly nodded with a low howl.

Although Li Yunmu couldn’t clearly understand what the howls meant, it was ape gods’ language. Since with the soul imprints the ape gods had been bound to his heavenly world, he could understand the fluctuations in their mood according to their howls and roughly understand the idea they wanted to convey.

Mountain Ape occasionally used low-pitched howls, and sometimes used two high-pitched howls, and then sometimes anger would appear on its face. Before long, the leader of the hunting squad, Ba Ape, also joined in.

An ominous glint flitted across the eyes of Ba Ape.

It meant that if not for master’s command to not make any large movements so that they could gain a lot of wealth without anyone learning of it, Ba Ape would’ve already led the ape gods to kill those damned greedy humans.

Virtuous Ape was the leader of the rescue squad, and his character was as his name suggested. He was extremely kind, one the few among the ape gods who were famous for their savageness.

But its kindness wasn’t for outsiders, but fellow companions. That’s why, strictly speaking, it wasn’t that kind-hearted to strangers. Rather, it was even more cruel and scheming than Ba Ape.

Apart from not knowing how to speak the human language, the wisdom and intellect of ape gods wasn’t much inferior to that of humans after they awakened their ancestral bloodlines with the help of divine blood.

But Li Yunmu stopped the three from making any movements.

"We will continue with the initial precautions and make sure no actions are taken in vain. Mountain Ape, starting from now, your patrolling squad must be more vigilant of the surroundings. We cannot allow them to come here and discover the secret of Refining Pagoda.

"Alright then, we won’t deal with the outsiders spying on us for the time being. This place is too close to Blue Moon Island, so wait for me to return and then we will look for another suitable place..."

Li Yunmu stopped the three apes from dealing with the outsiders. In fact, Li Yunmu had already prepared himself mentally that this region couldn’t conceal their secret for a long time.

With the three hundred ape gods and shadows going on a killing spree every day for a few months, it was foreordained that this region’s ecological equilibrium would be disrupted.

Thus, the flux experts of Blue Moon Sect coming here to investigate it was perfectly normal.

Since the other party only peeped on them from the distance, not daring to show themselves, it meant that they weren’t very formidable. They didn’t have the confidence to confront the couple hundred of ape gods.

According to Li Yunmu’s guess, the reason why those people had checked here was probably because they were curious about the sudden appearance of the ape gods. Thus, it wasn’t yet the time to make a move. Li Yunmu just decided that after he returned, he would change their hunting ground as soon as possible.

After all, when all was said and done, this place was too close to Blue Moon Island. Even if the group of tiger fishes obstructed people from coming over, it wouldn’t continue for a long time.

Leading the three ape gods, Li Yunmu entered the Refining Pagoda’s ground level. After getting out of the sea water, he began to closely inspect the situation of Ba Ape, Virtuous Ape, and Mountain Ape.

"Not bad, you have greatly progressed recently."

The system quickly scanned the three ape gods and then transferred the final data to Li Yunmu.

The increase in the physical strength of these three apes was unusually fast. Although it hadn’t increased at the rocket speed like that of Li Yunmu, their development was still far superior to that of normal humans.

Within a brief period of two-three months, the physical strength of the three ape gods had already been upgraded to nineteen oxen from twelve.

Ba Ape who had superior talent compared to others had already reached twenty-three oxen.

When the system sent the data back to Li Yunmu, he was extremely astonished, but the system’s full analysis allowed him to understand how that happened.

First reason behind the great increase in strength was that the ape gods were considered as talented dimensional beasts in the Fifth DImension. Therefore, after they arrived in the Original World and ate extreme grade power grain, their talent in physical strength began to display itself. Thus, eating three grains of extreme grade power grain every day was behind the quick increase in their strength.

The second reason was that the ape gods had been staying at mid sea region which was three thousand meters below the surface for the last couple months and were constantly enduring the enormous pressure.

Confronting this powerful pressure for a long time had increased the quality of their body and caused it to undergo an evolution. The period of a couple months was short and their evolution was quite minor, but given that their environment had changed, it was sufficient to make their physical bodies even more tyrannical .

It could be seen as a necessary adaption of a specie toward environment change which was a natural law.

According to the system, the more potential a specie was, the more difficult it was to predict their future development.

The third reason was that his creatures had swallowed divine blood and thus awakened their ancestral bloodline. In addition to that, they had been battling within vicious beasts every day, so their physical strength was bound to increase quickly.
