Monarch Of Time

Chapter 349 - 349 Grabbing the spoils

The ʼsnow apeʼ seemed to have noticed that something was wrong, as it hurriedly moved to the side almost out of instinct, but since its attention had already been focused on Chen Yan who had collapsed on the ground this whole time, the early rank 5 magic beastʼs was a step too late.

The pill bottle filled with the poison from the ʼSoul poisoning hell grassʼ appeared inside the ʼsnow apeʼsʼ body, before the space tear closed.

As the small bottle landed on the powerful rank 5 magic beastʼs body, it broke into many small pieces before the dark purple liquid inside it started to seep inside the ʼsnow apeʼsʼ body.

Groaarr

Cries filled with pain and endless killing intent erupted from the powerful magic beastʼs body, as the ʼsnow apeʼ started to roll on the ground in pain.

The potency of the poison from the ʼSoul Poisoning soul grassʼ however, was strong enough to kill even a middle rank 5 ʼsnow apeʼ, let alone an early rank 5 one.

The ʼsnow apeʼsʼ cries lasted for less than 20 breaths of time, before the powerful rank 5 magic beast lifelessly collapsed on the ground.

Chen Yan who had just stood up, couldnʼt believe the scene in front of his eyes, but the injuries on his c.h.e.s.t told him that everything he saw was real.

The 2 powerful rank 5 magic beasts that had almost killed him and his sister the last time that they were in this place, were now lying motionless on the ground.

Of course, the black-robed peak rank 9 Spirit realm expert didnʼt feel any sense of pity for the 2 powerful rank 5 magic beasts in front of him.

The nature of magic beasts was to devour other humans and magic beasts alike.

Even if Chen Yan didnʼt invade their mountain, the ʼsnow apesʼ would occasionally roam around the ʼTen thousand beastsʼ mountain rangeʼ and hunt humans and other magic beasts by themselves.

At the same time, his eyes were instead focused at the top of the mountain, where the 2 stalks of ʼicicle soul grassʼ were waiting for them.

However, due to his injuries, Chen Yan could only suppress his d.e.s.i.r.e to get the stalk of grass as soon as possible, and instead, he sat on the snowy ground and consumed a high-grade rank 4 healing pill.

Liu Mei and Chen Wuying who were still inside the forest, quickly approached the snow mountain in front of them, as they both went close to Shun Long and Chen Yan accordingly.

Shun Long smiled at Liu Mei who had executed the plan in the best way possible.

He clearly knew that Liu Mei had personally controlled the 2 undead knights that had thrown the 2 bottles of the ʼSoul Poisoning hell grassʼ poison to the first ʼsnow apeʼ using her own spiritual strength.

From the start, Shun Longʼs plan had been to have Liu Mei send her undead army up to follow after them, a few minutes after he and Chen Yan had started to climb the mountain, and intercept the ʼsnow apeʼ that would soon chase them.

Liu Mei took this chance to imbue her spiritual strength in 2 of her undead knights and personally control them during the fight, which was why she could hit the gigantic 7m(22.9ft) tall ʼsnow apeʼ with the second bottle that was filled with the poison of the ʼSoul poisoning hell grassʼ.

Of course, if the middle rank 5 ʼsnow apeʼ hadnʼt placed its attention on Shun Long and Chen Yan who had acted as bait during that time, it wouldnʼt have been caught off-guard by the 2 ʼweakʼ undead knights that were hiding the poison inside their armor no matter whether it was a sneak attack or not.

This was the main reason why Shun Long had placed his attention on him and Chen Yan heading up the mountain first.

Even then, Shun Long wasnʼt completely certain that the ʼsnow apeʼ would have been caught off-guard and get hit by the poison, but that there was simply a high chance of it happening.

At the same time, Liu Mei also realized the importance of swordsmanship when she was controlling the bodies of the undead knights.

After all, each of her black-armored knights was wielding a 2m(6.6ft) long black greatsword.

Although her combat strength would definitely rise when she used her own spiritual strength and qi to control her undead knights, she also needed to be proficient in the weapons that they used to control them better.

Although she didnʼt directly fight by having her undead knights control their swords this time, this didnʼt lower the importance of this matter.

With a light smile on his face, Shun Long first placed the bodies of the early rank 5 and the middle rank 5 ʼsnow apesʼ inside the ʼStone of Timeʼ, before he climbed the snow mountain heading towards its peak.

Neither Chen Yan nor Chen Wuying objected when they saw Shun Long taking the bodies of the 2 powerful rank 5 magic beasts.

After all, Chen Yan didnʼt care about the rank 5 magic beasts that much.

Instead, what he fervently wanted, was the ʼicicle soul grassʼ so he could break through to the Nascent Soul stage in one go.

Of course, the bodies of the rank 5 ʼsnow apesʼ were extremely useful to Shun Long. After all, he was planning to use the ʼsnow apesʼ beast cores to refine the ʼDragonblood grassʼ into pills.

A couple of minutes later, without facing any obstruction, Shun Long arrived at the mountainʼs peak, where 2 stalks of crystal-like grass were growing from the small crevice.

With a light smile on his face, Shun Long carefully dug out the 2 crystal-like rank 5 medicinal herbs from the crevice, before he placed one stalk inside the herb garden in the ʼStone of Timeʼ.

After taking another look at the mountain peak and making sure that there was nothing else of value in this place, Shun Long headed back to the foot of the snow mountain.

Seeing Shun Long returning from the peak of the mountain, Chen Yan was completely unable to conceal the fervent look in his eyes as he stared at the crystal-like grass in Shun Longʼs hands.

Ignoring his injuries, the peak rank 9 Spirit realm cultivator stood up hurriedly, as he smiled and said

ʼʼBrother Shun!ʼʼ

Shun Long nodded his head at the black-robed young man, before he tossed him the stalk of the ʼicicle soul grassʼ in his hands.

No matter what, since he had promised to give it to him and Chen Yan had also participated in the fight against the ʼsnow apesʼ, Shun Long wouldnʼt go back on his word.

Holding the rank 5 ʼicicle soul grassʼ in his hands, an excited expression had appeared in Chen Yanʼs eyes as he cupped his hands in thanks.

Then, with a smile on his face, the young man looked at Shun Long and Liu Mei who still had the white veil on her face before he asked curiously

ʼʼBrother Shun, sister Liu, me and my sister are going to return back to the ʼHeavenʼs Dome cityʼ! Do you want to come with us?ʼʼ
