System: Replicating The Heavens

Chapter 29 Ch 29: Escape

In the dark and humid forest, at this moment, a scene of an 'escape and chase' was playing out.

Alex acted as the "fisherman" who harvested and smoothly took the Blood Crystal Lotus into his pocket. But he was not surely the winner, and a new crisis followed.

Clearly, the three people behind him had some experience in tracking through the jungle. It would be hard to get rid of them all at once.

"These three are all very strong in fighting. All of them are at the Innate Realm. I'm only at the Level 9 of the Foundation Establishment Realm. If I were to fight them head-on, I have no chance of winning!" Alex thought, a serious look emerging on his face.

When Alex was following behind the bandits, he didn't choose to copy any treasures from them. Because, first, there was not anything worth copying from them, and the second, he had to save energy points to copy treasures from someone who could really bring him great benefits.

"I can't go on like this. I'll be caught up sooner or later." Alex was anxious. Should he hand over the Blood Crystal Lotus?

Just as Alex was deep in thought, a grey Demonic Beast suddenly appeared in the grass in front of him. It was a grey monkey, about the size of a 15-16 years old human, with sharp claws on its hands and feet.

Grey Spirit Monkey, a Level 2 Demonic Beast.

Alex thought up an idea and a cunning smile appeared on his face.

"That guy changed his direction."

Xin Wen, who was tracking Alex, said. Lin Hai and Ze Shang also nodded their heads. Looking at the ground and the footprints on the tree trunk, they could clearly determine the opponent's escape route.

"Let's see how long he can run for." A cold glint flashed past Ze Shang's eyes and he quickened his pace.

After about the time it took to make a cup of tea, a figure hopping up and down in the forest came into their sight.

"Hmph! We finally found this bastard. Let's see where else you can escape?" Ze Shang took the lead and flew forward, and shouted: "If you don't want to die, then immediately stop."

The man ignored him and continued to rush forward.

"You asked for it."

Ze Shang's expression turned cold and a sharp Longsword immediately appeared in his palm.

The surging Strength of Innate Realm was released and within a second, he slashed the sword. A powerful air wave slashed out and directly hit the enemy's back.

"Hiss!"

The sharp sword pierced through the enemy's body as a miserable and strange cry rang out.

"Ze Shang, well done." Xin Wen praised.

Ze Shang's face revealed a proud smile when he heard the praise. However, when the three arrived and took a closer look, they were all panic-stricken.

What they saw was a grey-haired monkey lying on the ground. This grey-haired monkey was still wearing the clothes of a human and human's shoes.

"How could this happen?"

Xin Wen and Lin Hai looked at each other in dismay. When they looked again, they saw that the tail of the grey monkey had been burnt and they could still smell a bit of the burnt smell.

"So that's how it is!" Lin Hai heaved a long sigh of relief. He was both angry and impressed at the same time. "What a good trick for escaping. We were all deceived."

It was unknown when the three had started to track down a monkey.

The man forced his clothes and shoes on the monkey and used the fire to burn the monkey's tail. The moment the tail caught fire, the monkey immediately jumped up and down in pain and started running all over the place.

This trick was indeed brilliant. It was truly unbelievable!

"Damnable bastard!" Ze Shang clenched his fists creaked and his face was so cold that it looked as though it was covered in a layer of ice. "If I don't take back the Blood Crystal Lotus, I, Ze Shang, will never rest."

At this moment, Alex, who had changed into a new pair of shoes and clothes, had already changed into another route and left.

Thinking about the expressions of the three people when they saw that the one being followed was a grey-haired monkey, Alex could not help but reveal a faint smile.

"I wonder which academy these three people are from? Forget it. I'll just leave as soon as I can!"

Alex immediately chose a direction and headed towards the outskirts of the Dark Mountain Range.

After spending some time, Alex successfully obtained the Blood Crystal Lotus. The process was even more unexpected than what he had imagined. Even Alex had not expected that it would be so easy.

Of course, only Alex would dare to do this. If it were any other cultivator with Level 9 Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation base, they would definitely not dare to do such a thing.

The spear that killed the bald bandit was a non-stop and efficient move. Although the bald bandit was in panic while running, he still had the cultivation at the First Level of Enlightenment Stage. So Alex cannot slow down his kill a little bit. Yet right then, Alex unhesitatingly thrust the spear into the bald man's throat.

And then, his technique, confusing the followers with a monkey, caused those who were pursuing him to secretly praise in amazement.

Therefore, Alex was able to obtain the Blood Crystal Lotus because of his extraordinary courage and wisdom.

However, for Alex, who was visiting the Dark Mountain Range for the first time, there was still a problem.

"Did I go the wrong way again?"

Looking at the deep and dark forest in front of him, Alex could not help but frown. He had been wandering in this forest for a long time. He was helpless as he could not tell where he was going. In addition to the various fumes that pervaded the forest, in the end, Alex could not even tell north, south, east, and west.

"It seems like my luck isn't as good as I imagined."

Alex carried the spear behind his back, constantly observing his surroundings, and revealing a sense of caution.

The surrounding environment was somewhat different from the outside. It was very quiet here and the trees were also much taller than the outside. At a glance, not even an ordinary flying beast could be seen.

"Since I'm already lost, It's better to follow the map of those bandits and take away the treasure they were talking about."

When Alex killed the bald bandit, he had also removed the spatial ring and wore it on his finger. Inside the spatial ring, other than a few treasures that could increase his cultivation easily, there was also a map. This map was goven the bald bandit by the Vice President of Merchant Alliance.
