Monarch Of Time

Chapter 344 - 344 Cooperating

Shun Long was stunned when he heard Chen Yanʼs last sentence, as he seemed to have understood why their group had failed.

A pair of ʼsnow apesʼ?

Shun Long knew that the snow apes were at least rank 5 magic beasts in their a.d.u.l.thood.

Almost as if he had guessed Shun Longʼs thoughts, Chen Yan continued with a mocking expression on his face

ʼʼAs brother Shun can guess, the ʼsnow apesʼ had reached the rank 5, and their strength was equivalent to powerful Nascent Soul stage expertsʼ.

Not only were we unable to get close to the ʼicicle soul grassʼ, but we almost died in the process.

We were lucky that the ʼsnow apesʼ werenʼt willing to chase us too far from the mountain, in case that someone else tried to steal the stalks of the grass from them during that time!ʼʼ

Shun Long nodded his head, before he fell silent for a few moments, as different possibilities flashed through his mind

Although it was rare, it wasnʼt impossible for a stalk of ʼicicle soul grassʼ to appear in this ʼTen thousand beastsʼ mountain rangeʼ.

As for the ʼsnow apesʼ, it was natural for Chen Yan and his group to be unable to face off against them.

After all, ʼsnow apesʼ were indeed rank 5 magic beasts and they werenʼt among the weakest ones.

Even an early Nascent Soul stage expert wouldnʼt necessarily be able to stay alive, if they had to fight against 2 early rank 5 ʼsnow apesʼ head-on.

If these apes had reached the middle or the late-stages, then the situation would be even worse.

Even Shun Long and Liu Mei couldnʼt ensure their safety facing off against 2 powerful rank 5 ʼsnow apesʼ, even with the poison from the ʼSoul poisoning hell grassʼ.

Looking at Chen Yan in front of him, Shun Long stared at the manʼs eyes before he asked seriously

ʼʼWas that man named Hao Chin part of your group when you found the ʼicicle soul grassʼ?ʼʼ

A wary smile once again appeared in Chen Yanʼs face, and nodding his head he said with a pained look on his face

ʼʼBrother Shun is right...ʼʼ

Shun Long nodded his head without saying anything else in response, as he thought seriously for a few moments.

ʼʼIndeed, if Hao Chin and that peak rank 6 Spirit realm cultivator who was along with him also knew about this matter, then it makes sense for Chen Yan to share this information with me and Meiʼer instead of trying to keep it to himself.

After all, for 2 stalks of ʼicicle soul grassʼ, itʼs very likely that, that Hao Chin will also try to recruit a stronger group and try to steal them, before Chen Yan even has a chance to do so.

Of course, I canʼt rule out the fact that this may actually be a trap... but in the end, there is no reason to refuse.ʼʼ

As these thoughts flashed through Shun Longʼs mind, he finally turned his eyes to look at the anxious Chen Yan who was waiting for his answer, as well as Liu Mei who knew that Shun Long was analyzing the situation and had stayed silent.

ʼʼWe can split the stalks of ʼicicle soul grassʼ evenly.

However, I need both of the beast cores of the ʼsnow apesʼ. Of course, if there is any part of their body that you need, then you can take it as well.ʼʼ

Chen Yan stared at Shun Long with a dumbfounded expression on his face.

2 breaths of time later, he hurriedly shook his head, before he waved his hands and said in a tone that didnʼt conceal his fear in the slightest

ʼʼNo, brother Shun, a stalk of ʼicicle soul grassʼ is actually more than enough!ʼʼ

Chen Yan couldnʼt believe how crazy Shun Long actually was, and stared at him and the young woman next to him with hints of fear in his eyes.

He was planning to hunt the rank 5 ʼsnow apesʼ?

Chen Yanʼs own plan had been to attract the ʼsnow apesʼʼ attention, before Shun Long or himself moved to steal the stalks of ʼicicle soul grassʼ under their noses.

As for the matter of hunting the ʼsnow apesʼ, this possibility didnʼt even flash through the black-robed manʼs mind.

After all, the ʼsnow apesʼ were powerful rank 5 magic beasts.

Even if he used all of his tricks, Chen Yan wouldnʼt be able to last more than a couple breaths of time against them!

Chen Yanʼs eyes landed on the crazy young man and young woman in front of him, before he shook his head while an ugly smile was now plastered on his face.

No matter what, this was his only hope of obtaining the ʼicicle soul grassʼ.

If he waited until he left the ʼTen thousand beastsʼ mountain regionʼ and gathered his own team, in case that Hao Chin had already found a way to steal the ʼicicle soul grassʼ by then, Chen Yan would most likely regret this for the rest of his life.

Since he had no other option, he could only hope that Shun Longʼs poison would be effective enough to deal with the ʼsnow apesʼ.

Seeing that Chen Yan had agreed, Shun Long nodded his head as this was within his expectations.

With Chen Yanʼs strength, he was probably just a step away from entering the Nascent Soul stage. If he really obtained the ʼicicle soul grassʼ, then he would most likely be able to breakthrough the moment that he consumed it.

Even within the Heavenʼs Dome cityʼ, Shun Long assumed that Chen Yan wouldnʼt be too weak among the peak rank 9 Spirit realm cultivators.

After taking a look at Chen Yanʼs sister, Chen Wuying and saw that she was still unconscious, Shun Long had a calm look on his face as he turned his eyes towards the black-robed Chen Yan and said calmly

ʼʼLetʼs head towards that mountain right now!ʼʼ
