C681 Guardian

In the center of Heartless Valley, next to a small lake, Qi Zhuohao was dodging back and forth. The huge dragon was unable to attack his true body. This huge dragon was only a martial skill. However, it was chasing after him crazily like a divine beast. The power of the martial skill's true meaning was not ordinary.

Finally, the huge dragon powerlessly fell into the lake. Countless Phantom Devil Qi returned to the surface of the lake. Qi Zhuohao stared at the lake with a solemn expression. His heart was nervous and terrified. A martial skill that contained the true meaning of a martial skill was so difficult to deal with. How strong was the owner of this martial skill? One had to know that to be able to avoid being swept by his heartforce, the strength of the 'thing' in the lake must be very terrifying!

The surface of the lake gradually returned to calm, just like the martial skill giant dragon had never appeared before. Qi Zhuohao was very puzzled and secretly sighed with emotion. "Is it over just like that? It shouldn't be!"

Qi Zhuohao still didn't dare to step into the sky above the lake. He was sure that 'thing' definitely wouldn't stop just like that. Once he tried to break into the lake, that 'thing' would definitely attack him. What should he do?

Although the lake wasn't big, the stone statue at the center of the lake wasn't close to the shore either. Qi Zhuohao obviously couldn't use the Vital Spirit to grab the bones. Hence... He had to go to the center of the lake, and he had to go to the center of the lake. He had to find the obstacle in the lake and kill it to solve his worries. Only then could he charge into the Hu alone!

There was no other way. The lake was enveloped by an incomparably dense and majestic Phantom Devil Qi. After entering the lake's range, Qi Zhuohao needed to use all his strength to deal with the invasion of the Phantom Devil Qi. Basically, he was unable to divert his attention to dealing with another obstacle in the lake. Hence... After finding and killing the obstacle in the lake, he dared to step into the lake.

Helplessly, Qi Zhuohao was unable to find the obstacle in the lake. He already knew that there were either divine beasts or human experts hiding in the lake. However, his' one with the world 'heartforce couldn't find them, so how could he kill them?

Of course, Qi Zhuohao wouldn't give up. His heartforce was constantly staring at everything in the lake. No movement could escape from his heartforce. He understood. No matter how good a person or beast was at hiding, as long as they moved, there would be ripples. The ripples that the Spiritual Sense could not detect, but his heartforce could easily capture them. He believed that he would definitely be able to find the owner of the martial skill, the Colossal Dragon.

In other words, the reason why Qi Zhuohao still hadn't discovered the figure of the 'hindrance' in the lake. That was because it was invisible and didn't move. Moreover, it possessed a strange ability to use martial skills. Only when it moved could Qi Zhuohao lock onto its position.

It turned out that Qi Zhuohao's deduction was correct. Opportunities were always left to those with perseverance. After Qi Zhuohao waited bitterly for three days, suddenly, a slight fluctuation at the bottom of the lake transmitted into his heartforce senses. Without any hesitation, Qi Zhuohao raised his hand and condensed the Vital Spirit Blade. He unleashed the Cloud Breaking Nine Circles Kill at the bottom of the lake.

Nine explosive sounds were heard. Water splashed everywhere on the surface of the lake, and a huge crater was created by the nine fire snakes in the corner of the lake. Immediately after that, a furious cry was heard. Following that, a blue figure turned into a stream of light and rushed out of the lake. It hovered in front of Qi Zhuohao.

It was a light blue ape. The ape was less than three meters tall. The muscles on its body were bulging and full of strength! It was a Second Level Divine Beast, and its three eyes were emitting a cold light. Qi Zhuohao felt as if he did not dare to look at it directly!

"Water Hidden Spirit Ape!" Qi Zhuohao's eyes widened. This was a Second Level Divine Beast level Water Hidden Spirit Ape! No wonder it could comprehend the true meaning of a martial skill. Qi Zhuohao instantly understood why his heartforce was almost unable to discover 'it'.

The Water Hidden Spirit Ape was a kind of ape that lived in water. It was extremely rare! The Water Hidden Spirit Ape had a special ability inherited from its bloodline, which was invisibility. As long as it was in water, the Water Hidden Spirit Ape could use the water element to perfectly conceal itself. It was extremely difficult to find the Heart Energy, the Spiritual Sense, and the Divine Sense. In this lake... Qi Zhuohao's Invisibility Technique was far from being as strong as the Water Hidden Spirit Ape.

As for the Water Hidden Spirit Ape, it was gifted with natural talent, and its comprehension ability was extremely strong. It also possessed a Xiantian bloodline martial skill, the Dragon Transformation skill. Its cultivation speed was also very fast. It was normal for this Second Level Divine Beast at the Second Level Divine Beast realm to be able to comprehend the true meaning of a martial skill. An extremely rare First Grade Divine Beast Stage Water Hidden Spirit Ape could even comprehend the true meaning of the Dragon Transformation skill.

Once one comprehended the true meaning of a martial skill, using the true meaning of a martial skill to draw upon the power of heaven and earth to control the surrounding laws and elements was not surprising. It had to be known that the Phantom Devil Qi in the lake actually belonged to the fog. And the fog belonged to the water element.

"Since that giant dragon was cast out by this Water Hidden Spirit Ape, then the Phantom Devil Qi emitted from the lake had nothing to do with it. There should be some kind of evil thing like the 'Ghost Stone' in the depths of the lake! " Qi Zhuohao thought in his heart. The Phantom Devil Qi had no use for him. His Phantom Bamboo had already matured, so he did not need the Phantom Devil Qi. Therefore, his mental energy didn't discover the source of the Phantom Devil Qi. He did not care, nor would he deliberately search for it. Because evil beings were worthless!

"Human brat, you are not bad! You can actually discover my existence, but you're very stupid. I have already warned you, you should back off. The treasure in the center of the lake is not something a mere transcendent martial artist like you can obtain."

Qi Zhuohao and the Water Hidden Spirit Ape stared at each other for a moment. Finally, the Water Hidden Spirit Ape spoke in an angry voice. It was a Second Level Divine Beast, so it was very normal for it to speak in human language. It was said that a Divine Beast could transform into a human form after cultivating to the extreme. It was almost no different from a human!

The Water Hidden Spirit Ape's eyes were filled with a fierce light. It did not put Qi Zhuohao in its eyes at all. Three days ago, after using the Dragon Transformation skill, it no longer bothered with Qi Zhuohao and chose to continue sleeping. Unexpectedly, Qi Zhuohao accidentally caught its position by stretching his body. Although Qi Zhuohao did not injure it when it was attacked by Qi Zhuohao... What?

"Senior, I have no intention of becoming your enemy. That bone is very important to me. Please forgive me for being lenient to you. I can't thank you enough!"

Qi Zhuohao did not dare to be neglectful. He hurriedly cupped his fist toward the Water Hidden Spirit Ape and spoke in a very polite tone. If it was a First Grade Divine Beast, he would undoubtedly kill it without a second thought. However, this Water Hidden Spirit Ape was a Second Level Divine Beast. Even if Qi Zhuohao used the Desolate Cauldron and Fury Skill, he might not be able to kill this Water Hidden Spirit Ape. If he couldn't kill this Water Hidden Spirit Ape, Qi Zhuohao would be in danger.

The invisibility ability of the Water Hidden Spirit Ape and its attack power were unparalleled. Qi Zhuohao understood in his heart that the Water Hidden Spirit Ape was speaking the truth. Three days ago, the Water Hidden Spirit Ape was indeed warning him and not attacking with all its strength. Otherwise, he would not be able to dodge the giant dragon's attack!

Qi Zhuohao's realm was still too low. He was still alright when facing a First Grade God Beast. Facing a Second Level Divine Beast realm Water Hidden Spirit Ape, Qi Zhuohao basically had no chance of winning. Of course, he had the Fire Crystal Coffin to protect his life, but the key was not his goal. Bones were the only thing that mattered.

The Water Hidden Spirit Ape was not an ordinary Divine Beast. Qi Zhuohao had already treated him as a human expert!

"Kid, so you're so afraid of death? What a joke! How dare you attack me? This is a capital offense! Also... This bone is something left behind by my master. Only perfection-stage Soul Formation experts are qualified to obtain it. Even though you are the first person to come here, you still do not have the qualifications to take it away. Die!"

With a cold snort, the Water Hidden Spirit Ape stepped into the void and approached Qi Zhuohao step by step. It would not kill human warriors for no reason. However, for someone like Qi Zhuohao who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth to attack it, it must kill him!

The Water Hidden Spirit Ape knew that Qi Zhuohao was able to reach the center of the Heartless Valley. Qi Zhuohao's mind was extremely firm. Qi Zhuohao was able to find its location, even if it was because it was lazy and exposed its whereabouts. It was enough to prove that Qi Zhuohao was in the state of one with the world. In the Five Domains Continent... Besides its master, Qi Zhuohao was the only Heart Cultivation warrior who had reached the state of being one with nature.

In addition to the powerful martial skill Qi Zhuohao used, the Water Hidden Spirit Ape understood that this human was a genius. A Extraordinary Stage warrior actually possessed strength that ordinary Nan Shen warriors couldn't compare with. Unfortunately... It was all Qi Zhuohao's fault for being so audacious and unlucky!

Looking at the Water Hidden Spirit Ape approaching step by step, Qi Zhuohao's heart sank completely. This Water Hidden Spirit Ape was the contract divine beast of the senior who had left two bones behind. Its purpose was to protect the second bone. The senior had set the rules. He didn't have the right to take away the dried bones. However, when he attacked the Water Hidden Spirit Ape, it caused the Water Hidden Spirit Ape to hate him. He wanted to kill him.

"Senior, this junior has already obtained the first bone. Why can't this bone be given to this junior? The thing left behind by your master is something that those with the ability can obtain. Since I have come here, this bone should be mine. "2

Qi Zhuohao changed the topic and said loudly, "Senior, this junior has no intention of offending your dignity. The Phantom Devil Qi was being plundered in this lake. This junior thought that the thing hidden in the lake was an evil creature, which was why he decided to test it out. Senior, please forgive me! "

Qi Zhuohao really didn't want to make the Water Hidden Spirit Ape his enemy. Not only was he afraid of the Water Hidden Spirit Ape, but more importantly, once he clashed with the Water Hidden Spirit Ape again, it would be very difficult for him to obtain the skeleton.

When the Water Hidden Spirit Ape heard Qi Zhuohao's words, it paused for a moment, then looked at Qi Zhuohao with surprise. He said, "Kid, what did you say? The first skeleton was obtained by you, this is impossible! The Desolate Forbidden Land is guarded by Desolate Tower and a large amount of Desolate Beast. What ability do you have to reach the center of the Desolate Forbidden Land and take away the first skeleton?"

As his voice fell, the Water Hidden Spirit Ape finally realized that it shouldn't have asked these questions. The human kid in front of it couldn't be looked at in the eyes of ordinary people. This kid was able to reach the center of the Heartless Valley. Why couldn't he go to the depths of the Desolate Forbidden Land?

"Senior, what this junior said is the truth. Please take a look!" While speaking, Qi Zhuohao took out the bone. The two bones were exactly the same. The Water Hidden Spirit Ape stopped in its tracks. It seemed like he had a chance to obtain the second bone.

The Water Hidden Spirit Ape nodded. This was indeed the Golden Feather Skeleton. He retracted his gaze. It said faintly, "Kid, so what if you obtain the first skeleton? Your strength has yet to reach the Great Circle of the Nascent God Stage, so I can't go against Master's will and give this skeleton to you. Since you're a genius and have obtained the first skeleton, you can leave. I can spare your life! "

It could be seen that although the Water Hidden Spirit Ape's master had long passed away, the Water Hidden Spirit Ape obeyed its master's orders and would never disobey. The Water Hidden Spirit Ape's protection of this place for thousands of years was the best proof!

Qi Zhuohao had obtained the first skeleton. The Water Hidden Spirit Ape could ignore Qi Zhuohao's disrespect towards it, but it was impossible for Qi Zhuohao to take the second skeleton away from its hands.

The Water Hidden Spirit Ape was actually quite helpless. Its temper was very violent. Its heart was filled with a bloodthirsty nature. However, Qi Zhuohao was able to obtain the first piece of bone. It could be considered one of the fated people its master spoke of, so it couldn't kill Qi Zhuohao.

Of course, it had already given Qi Zhuohao the opportunity. Could Qi Zhuohao grasp it? This was not the problem it should be concerned about.
