When Chu Jun touched the foot of the mountain, the sky had already revealed a pale belly. It was almost dawn. The exhausted Chu Jun washed his face by the stream and continued to search for the direction where the light had fallen last night.

Suddenly, several beast roars came from the front. The number of roars should be more than three. Chu Jun's footsteps paused for a moment. He carefully listened for a while and decisively avoided the other direction. However, after walking a few steps, Chu Jun heard a woman shouting at him. He thought to himself, "Could it be Ning Yun (girl in red)?"

Chu Jun carefully rubbed his waist towards the place where the sound came from. A few spirit beast corpses were scattered across the open space in the forest, and the surrounding trees showed signs of being burned. A palace-dressed maiden with a long sword leaned against a giant tree and confronted three red-furred fire apes. A gray-feathered crane lay on the ground with a dying aura. It seemed that it was not long before it died.

The three fire apes gritted their teeth and roared, but they still didn't dare to step forward, as if they were very afraid of the girl in the palace dress. The palace-dressed girl's left arm was injured, and half of her sleeves were soaked in bright red blood.

After a moment of stalemate, the three fire apes finally couldn't help but pounce from three directions, their movements quick and agile. Chu Jun secretly said, "It's over!"

The palace-dressed girl let out a tender shout as her figure flew up. The longsword in her hand swung out three fist-sized lightning balls, striking at the three fire apes. The three fire apes howled miserably as they fell to the ground and trembled. The blue and white arcs on their bodies flickered non-stop, and the fur on the spot where the ball of lightning struck them was completely charred.

Chu Jun secretly said, "Could this be an immortal technique?"

The girl in palace clothes landed from the sky and staggered to the ground. Her face was as pale as paper, and she didn't even have the strength to stand up. Clearly, she was at the end of her rope. The electric arcs on the three fire apes gradually disappeared, and they were actually struggling to get up. The palace-dressed girl tried several times to stand up and kill the three fire apes, but all of them failed.

Chu Jun did not hesitate any longer. He pulled out his military stab and rushed over. He raised his saber and stabbed the three fire apes that had yet to recover to death. His technique was clean and agile. Seeing that Chu Jun was actually here to help her, the girl in palace clothes heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you!" Her voice was gentle and pleasant to hear, giving people the feeling of being bathed in the spring breeze.

"No need … thank you!" The moment Chu Jun turned around, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Chu Jun didn't see the face of the girl in palace attire because he was far away from her just now and was on the side. At this moment, when he looked at her closely, his eyes immediately lit up with astonishment. Chu Jun originally thought that the red-clothed girl Ning Yun was already considered pretty, but when compared to this woman in front of him, her expression immediately dimmed. Under her faint eyebrows, there was a pair of misty eyes. Her jade nose was small and straight, and her white jade-like face was decorated with a small mouth like a diamond horn. Her temperament was gentle and tranquil, pure and sparkling like the best jade.

She was absolutely stunning, but so was she!

When Chu Jun saw that the young lady in the palace dress frowned slightly and vividly, he finally woke up. It was inappropriate for him to stare at her like this. He turned his gaze away and said, "You're injured. Do you need any help?"

"No need, I can do it myself. Please protect me for a while!" The girl in the palace dress said softly. Her voice was as gentle as jade, and it was very comfortable to hear, making people unable to bear to refuse.

Chu Jun nodded, turned around, and walked to the distant side with his back facing the girl in the palace dress. The girl in the palace dress hesitated for a moment and struggled to move behind the tree. Only then did she subdue the clothes on her shoulders, revealing her fragrant shoulders that bullied Saixue. There was a bloody wound on the jade-like arm of the pink lotus root.

The girl in the palace dress took out a Golden Injury Pill and crushed it on the wound. Her cherry lips were tightly pursed, and her picturesque eyebrows knitted slightly due to the pain. Her appearance was extremely moving. The girl in the palace dress poked her head out worriedly and glanced at Chu Jun in the distance. Seeing him standing there honestly, she quickly took off her entire coat and tore off a piece of cloth to bandage up the wound.

Chu Jun had been brought into the army since he was young, and the things he had come into contact with the most were all kinds of weapons and efficient killing methods. Although he was already an eighteen-year-old boy, he had yet to comprehend his emotions and desires. He had never thought of peeping at anything.

"My name is Zhao Yu!" The girl in the palace dress said generously. She changed into a light blue embroidered robe, which made her look even more gentle and extraordinary.

Chu Jun was staring straight at by her misty pair of starry eyes, and he actually felt his heart beating faster. He hurriedly moved his gaze away and said, "My name is Chu Jun!"

Zhao Yuqi smiled and said warmly, "Thank you for saving me just now. These three beast crystals will be your reward!" After saying that, he pointed at the three red-furred monster apes.

Chu Jun didn't hesitate to dig out the beast crystals from the heads of the three magical apes and put them away. At the same time, he digged out the remaining beast crystals from the corpses of the spirit beasts and handed them to Zhao Yu. Zhao Yu took the Beast Crystal and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. He was a little unable to see through this body cultivator who was dressed very differently. Three First Grade Beast Crystals was definitely a considerable amount of wealth for a First Grade Body Cultivator, but Chu Jun was not the slightest bit excited when he accepted the Beast Crystals, as if he didn't care at all.

"You came out alone to hunt?" Zhao Yuzhen tilted his head slightly and asked tentatively. It was truly puzzling that a First Grade Physique Cultivator appeared alone in the depths of the dangerous Spiritual Beast Mountain Range.

Chu Jun grinned and said, "I separated from my companions last night. They will come back to pick me up later!" As he spoke, he pointed at the summit.

Zhao Yu suddenly said, "Was it you who shouted last night?" Then he asked curiously, "You don't have a mount, how did you get off?"

This mountain peak was towering and steep, with strange vines and thorns blocking the path. It was hard to imagine anyone walking down the mountain under the condition of blind lights and black flames. Chu Jun shrugged his shoulders and said, "It wasn't until dawn that we arrived at the foot of the mountain!"

Chu Jun was a little embarrassed by Zhao Yu's slightly grateful eyes. He explained, "Actually, I thought that something had happened to my companion, so I rushed over to rescue him!"

A flush of red flashed across Zhao Yuqiao's face as she pursed her lips and smiled, "No matter what, I have to thank you!"

Before Zhao Yu could finish speaking, Chu Jun suddenly pounced towards her. Zhao Yucuo was caught off guard and was thrown to the ground on the spot. Zhao Yu felt that this fellow's lips had touched her cheek. She couldn't help but feel embarrassed and angry. She was about to use her strength to smash Chu Jun who was pressing down on her body away.

Boom!

The scorching fireball struck the tree behind the two of them. Instantly, flames flew and the entire tree started to burn. Chu Jun felt a burst of burning desire on his back. He couldn't help but snort as he rolled down from Zhao Yu's body and extinguished the flames on his back. A charred smell spread out in the air. Zhao Yu jumped up in horror, and the light in his hand flickered with an additional three-foot green edge.

Roar!

A giant ape with fiery red fur jumped down from the tree. Its fists knocked on its chest, and its eyes seemed to spit out fire, "Woo-hoo-hoo!"

"Fire Ape King!" Zhao Yu blurted out in shock.

The fire ape belonged to the first grade spirit beast, but the powerful fellow among the fire apes could advance to the second grade, and was known as the Fire Ape King. The Fire Ape King was capable of erupting with a simple fireball technique, and its strength was boundless. Its strength was comparable to an Immortal Cultivator at the Spirit Condensation Stage. Judging from the power of the fireball just now, this Fire Ape King's strength was equivalent to an Immortal Cultivator at the middle stage of Spirit Condensation. Zhao Yu's strength was just at the middle stage of Spirit Condensation. However, after a fierce battle, his Spiritual Energy had not fully recovered. Furthermore, his shoulder was injured. He was definitely not a match for this furious Fire Ape King.

"How are your injuries?" Zhao Yu asked with concern while being on guard against the Fire Ape King. At this time, she already knew that Chu Jun did not intentionally take advantage of her just now.

Chu Jun endured the pain in his back and stood up. He gritted his teeth and said, "He can still stand up!"

"This Fire Ape King is powerful. I'm not confident that I can defeat him. Hurry up and leave. I'll defend against it for a while!" Zhao Yu whispered.

Chu Jun knew that even if he stayed behind, he would not be able to help. He nodded and said, "Be careful!" After saying that, he quickly retreated.

Zhao Yu couldn't help but be slightly disappointed. Earlier, when Chu Jun was able to discover the Fire Ape King's ambush, she thought that Chu Jun was an expert who pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger. She didn't expect that he was a coward. He really left. He didn't know that Chu Jun's training since childhood was how to use the smallest price to obtain the greatest benefits, and he definitely wouldn't clash head-on with an opponent whose strength was greatly different.

The Fire Ape King didn't seem to put Chu Jun , a scum-level existence, in his eyes. His sharp gaze firmly locked onto Zhao Yu, completely ignoring the retreating Chu Jun .

Hu!

A fireball the size of a fist spat out from the Fire Ape King's mouth. Although Zhao Yu dodged in time, he was still swept away by the burst of fire and the blazing waves of air, and his body staggered to the ground. The Fire Ape King's eyes were extremely poisonous as he took a step forward and dug into Zhao Yu's eyes with his sharp claws. The sword in Zhao Yu's hand flickered with lightning as it sliced towards the Fire Ape King's sharp claws.

Chu Jun did not really leave. Instead, he circled around the distant tree and watched it change. Seeing the sword in Zhao Yu's hand causing the wind and thunder to howl, lightning flashed, and he couldn't help but be envious.

One man and one ape were fighting each other. Zhao Yu's figure gradually became sluggish. The lightning of the longsword seemed to be much weaker, and he almost got hit several times.

Chu Jun knew that if the fight continued, Zhao Yu would definitely die at the hands of the Fire Ape King. He hurriedly picked up two pieces of broken stones while he was still in danger and prepared to help. Not only were the members of the Snow Leopard Special Forces all sharpshooters, they also had their own unique skills. Chu Jun's ultimate skill was the Flying Locust Stone. Within a thirty meter radius, it had hundreds of strikes, and its lethality was comparable to a 54-type pistol. Of course, all of the locust stones Chu Jun used in the army were made of pure iron. Each of them was three to eight grades, and if thrown out within thirty meters, it could shatter the skull.

Zhao Yu felt more and more exhausted. He retreated step by step. Sweat oozed from his sparkling white pink cheeks, while the Fire Ape King seemed to have endless strength to grab the surrounding trees until they were covered in wood chips.

Zhao Yu let out a light shout as a miserable white lightning blade shot out from the sword in his hand, quickly piercing through the Fire Ape King's left shoulder. The Fire Ape King let out a miserable roar as he spat out a scorching fireball. Zhao Yu quickly jumped away, but it was still a little late. The fireball exploded right in front of him. Zhao Yu was sent flying by the power of the explosion and fell to the ground like a pendant butterfly. Green smoke gushed out from his clothes.

The Fire Ape King roared and flew forward, attempting to tear this hateful human into pieces. Chu Jun waved his hand, and the rubble in his hand shot out. The furious Fire Ape King didn't expect that scum-level fellow to dare to ambush him. He was hit in the right eye by a stone with a sharp horn. Immediately, blood and juice flew away, causing it to roar in pain. Zhao Yu took the opportunity to escape under the Fire Ape King's feet.

Hu! A broken stone flew over again with the sound of the wind, smashing into the Fire Ape King's head. The stone shattered into several pieces, but the Fire Ape King did not suffer any damage.

The furious Fire Ape King finally discovered Chu Jun 's location. He abandoned Zhao Yu, who was so close to him, and furiously rushed towards Chu Jun , who was hiding behind a tree and ambushing him.
