68: You're just going to leave me here and not care about me?

Perhaps due to low intelligence, the Elite Rank Ghost-Faced Apes did not react to Qin Yan's words; a group of monkeys directly surrounded Old Hei.

Subsequently, they all began to launch tentative attacks.

Yao Beast: Ghost-Faced Ape (Elite Rank Six-Star)

Skills:

Enraged Monkey Fist Lv9 (Active, sacrifices defensive attributes, increases strength by 50%, attack speed by 50%, lasts 1 minute.)

Ghost-Faced Illusion Lv3 (Active, causes the target to hallucinate, creating a fear effect, lasts 5 seconds)

Charged Embrace Fist Lv3 (Active, clasps both palms together, delivering a downward embrace fist to the target, damage increased by 300%)

Agile Steps Lv4 (Passive, in mountainous forest and cave areas, movement speed increased by 30%)

Gang Up (Passive, when the species attacks together, attack increased by 30%)

Potential: Elite Rank Nine-Star

More than a dozen Ghost-Faced Apes, most of their panel attributes were similar, around Elite Rank Five to Six-Star, and most of their potential could not reach Commander Rank.

This was normal ecology; only a few Commander Rank potential Yao Beasts could emerge from thousands of them.

Only Beast Tamer schools would have a concentration of Commander Rank Beast Tamers; these were carefully selected and were humanity's greatest trump card against Yao Beasts.

Lin Chuan glanced at the Ghost-Faced Ape's panel and then paid no further attention.

Wasn't this type of purely physical Yao Beast completely countered by Old Hei?

A few minutes later, the monkey group stopped one after another, looking at their fists, which were all skinned and bleeding. Yet, this Turtle seemed to be enjoying itself.

Its eyes were filled with mockery and disdain.

Can you do it, little monkeys?

After its initial panic, Old Hei was now completely calm.

A thousand of them?

What if there were ten thousand?

Its body was only so big, at most a dozen of them could hit it.

If it weren't for Lin Chuan's prohibition, it would have shrunk its body to the smallest size, and then these monkeys wouldn't be able to do anything to it.

The monkey group was enraged!

They all began to use their skills; those who could hit Old Hei continuously threw punches, creating a flurry of fist shadows.

Those on the periphery who couldn't reach him made fierce grimaces at Old Hei's eyes.

Ghost-Faced Illusion activated.

Unfortunately, it was ineffective.

Old Hei had mental immunity shared by Gray Snake; let alone Elite Rank, even Commander Rank skills within it were ineffective against him.

Qin Yan was unaware of this and asked, "Your Beast Tamer's Physical Body defense is incredible, but these monkeys can launch mental attacks. Fear status can interrupt or break some skill effects, so don't get caught off guard, haha..."

"It can do that..."

No wonder Qin Yan brought him here; he probably looked forward to seeing him make a fool of himself.

Once the skill buffs on Old Hei were cleared, relying only on Physical Body defense, he might not be able to withstand it.

"Old Hei, stop playing dead, get moving."

The monkey in front of Old Hei kept winking at him, acting like an idiot; Old Hei had long been sick of it.

Hearing Lin Chuan's command, he didn't hesitate and directly charged forward with his head.

This Ghost-Faced Ape, seeing Old Hei motionless, thought its skill had worked and was about to let out a loud howl.

Suddenly, Old Hei delivered a headbutt, sending it dozens of meters away, breaking several ribs, and spitting blood in mid-air.

However, that was all it was.

This thing had tough skin and thick flesh; relying solely on Old Hei's current speed and strength, he couldn't deliver a fatal blow.

Next, without sneak attacks or Taunt, it would be difficult for Old Hei to hit it again.

The monkey group was incredibly agile, constantly mocking Old Hei, as if they had found a new toy.

"It's not affected by the fear effect! It seems you still have some trump cards, kid!" Qin Yan smiled, feeling quite regretful that he couldn't see Lin Chuan get into trouble.

Then he said, "You play here slowly; I'll go explore other places."

Lin Chuan: "???"

"You're just going to leave me here?" Lin Chuan asked incredulously.

"Do you expect this old man to play house with you for a month?" Qin Yan's tone was even more incredulous.

He, the dignified president of District 81's Beast Tamer Association, was very busy!

"Don't worry, I left you a bodyguard. Otherwise, if something happened to you, Lan Lan would definitely not let me off. Besides, there are no other Monarch Rank Beast Tamers within a thousand li."

"Alright then."

Hearing Qin Yan's words, Lin Chuan felt a little relieved.

No wonder Qin Yan had prepared the storage ring and supplies in advance; he had long planned for Lin Chuan to survive in the wilderness alone.

Actually, it was better that Qin Yan left; Lin Chuan had only this tiny bit of trump cards, and they were almost all revealed.

Soon, the Eagle King spread its wings and soared high, carrying Qin Yan away.

Lin Chuan didn't know what kind of bodyguard Qin Yan had left, but it should be reliable. The valley, which was originally filled with insect chirps and bird calls, was now eerily silent.

A Diamond Rank Beast Tamer could contract a maximum of four Beast Tamers. Lin Chuan had already seen the Giant Rock Eagle King and the Ice Crystal Demon Python, so it was highly likely to be another Monarch Rank Beast Tamer that Lin Chuan hadn't seen.

"Old Hei, stop wasting your efforts, come back."

Saying that, he directly recalled Old Hei.

When the group of apes saw Old Hei suddenly disappear, they prepared to target Lin Chuan, their gazes filled with hostility.

Suddenly, several roars came from inside the cave; the monkey group seemed to receive some command and retreated directly into the cave.

Since he planned to stay here for a while, Lin Chuan at least had to first sort out his living arrangements.

Arriving at the base of a cliff, Lin Chuan summoned Old Hei.

"Old Hei, dig a hole."

"???"

Old Hei looked at his Turtle claws, gazing at Lin Chuan with intelligent eyes.

"Damn it!" Lin Chuan felt he was being looked down upon.

"Rise to three meters high, then ram it, can't you?"

"???"

Looking at the rocky cliff, Old Hei felt Lin Chuan was seriously ill.

Ultimately, under Lin Chuan's threats and the temptation of fruit, Old Hei still succumbed.

However, before ramming, Lin Chuan still maxed out Old Hei's Air-Treading Rapid Acceleration and Cranial Super Strength.

Air-Treading Rapid Acceleration Lv9 (Active, when limbs jump into the air, step on the air for a burst of acceleration, moving 500 meters forward within 3 seconds.)

Cranial Super Strength Lv9 (Passive, when attacking with the head, gains a fiftyfold strength enhancement.)

Then, he conveniently fed Old Hei to nine-star, which was an advance payment.

With both skills maxed, the rocket headbutt combo skill was the true ultimate complete form; he would make those monkeys look good later.

However, for now, he needed Old Hei to ram a hole first.

Lin Chuan had thought about looking for some animal's nest, but then decided against it.

On one hand, he searched around and didn't find any; on the other hand, the size might not be suitable, and besides, who knew what smells or dirt animals lived in, Lin Chuan was disgusted.

Old Hei first tentatively rammed a few times; it wasn't as hard as he imagined.

So, Old Hei then stepped on the gas and started ramming... "Boom" "Boom" "Boom"... Dozens of meters underground, inside a cave.

A pair of scarlet eyes slowly opened, sensed for a moment, and then paid no further attention.

In front of it, a pile of leftover Skeleton remained, with traces of blood on it.

Evidently, it had only recently died.

This Commander-level Demon Beast, which had fought with the Ghost-Faced Apes for decades, thus unknowingly became food.
