Chapter 348 - 193: Guidance from Dan God_1
Upon returning to the Cave Mansion, Lin Yi didn’t hesitate to step into the Dan God Secret Realm with Zhi Ling. The awakening of the Little Fellow’s Lightning Mink Bloodline had been in progress for ten years, and by now, its speed could match that of an ordinary Flying Sword.
The concentration of a Monster Beast’s bloodline not only affected the Cultivation Speed, but also the strength of their bloodline power. The higher the concentration, the higher the Cultivation Speed, and the stronger the bloodline power would be.
Previously, when Zhi Ling’s speed was slow, the electric light that flickered over its body could be seen, but now that it was going so fast, an ordinary eye couldn’t spot the electricity at all. You could say it has become a little Lightning Flash in mink disguise.
When Lin Yi arrived at the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden, he saw a golden ape squatting among the herbs. Occasionally, it would use its fist to pound the ground, while a Green Giant Python not too far away would sometimes cast a cold glance at the ape.
The golden ape had several injuries, its fur fallen off while the scales of the Green Giant Python had been torn off in several places.
Seeing this, Lin Yi soon understood what must have happened. Most likely, the golden ape wanted to take over the guarding of the Medicine Garden, but the Green Giant Python wanted to stay, which led the two guardian beasts into a clash.
The difference in their sizes reminded him of a scene from a movie, ‘King Kong vs The Giant Lizard’. However, in this instance, the Green Giant Python was much larger than the Giant Lizard, and the body of the Golden Ape was much smaller than King Kong.
Within the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden, there were three different Guardian Beasts: the Green Giant Python, the Golden Spirit Ape, and a White Spirit Deer.
The rotation of the three Spirit Beasts was based on the opening of the Secret Realm. Each time before the Secret Realm opened, a rotation would take place.
Before the Secret Realm opened in the Heng Yuan World, it was the White Deer’s turn to guard the Medicine Garden. However, after discussing, the Green Giant Python had decided to stay behind and guard instead.
The last time the Secret Realm opened in the Xuan Tian Realm, it was the turn of this Golden Spirit Ape, but after negotiating with the Green Giant Python, the Python continued its guard duty.
It seemed now that the Golden Ape was regretting and wanted to take a turn outside.
During his time in the Dan God Secret Realm, Lin Yi had visited both the Golden Ape and White Deer, the two other Guardian Beasts. The Ape seemed quite straightforward and acted vigorously, and they got along well.
As for the White Deer, it appeared to be detached from worldly affairs, seemingly uninterested in anything, spending its days cultivating in the Cave Mansion. Even the food he left at its doorstep remained untouched.
“Ahem, Senior Green Python, Senior Golden Ape, what happened?” Lin Yi cleared his throat and asked.
Seeing Lin Yi, the Golden Ape looked delighted. With one leap, it jumped in front of him, pounded its chest, and said, “Lin Yi, I want to eat. This python is a jerk, hogging the Garden and refusing to leave. And we had a fight.”
“Senior Golden Ape, both you and the Senior Green Python are my friends; friends should not fight,” Lin Yi said with a smile. In general, Monster Beasts gained the ability to speak human language only when they had achieved Transformation.
However, Ape Clan Monsters were different. They were very similar to humans; after 100 years of Cultivation, they could speak human language.
At this point, the Green Python also slithered over slowly, giving the Golden Ape a cold look.
The Golden Ape did not back down and pounded its chest in a defiant challenge.
The Green Python ignored it, casting a Divine Intent towards Lin Yi, “Lin Yi, will you let Zhi Ling come out? I have something to tell you.”
Lin Yi nodded and released Zhi Ling from the Spirit Pet Column. After coming out, Zhi Ling looked around and raced over to the head of the Green Python at lightning speed, then disappeared and reappeared on the shoulder of the Golden Ape.
He had also taken Zhi Ling to visit the Golden Ape and White Deer before. However, the White Deer had never shown up, while the Golden Ape and Zhi Ling had a great time together.
The Golden Ape, waving its hand and grinning, greeted Zhi Ling and then glared at the Green Giant Python, “You little green snake, you’ve had enough time with Zhi Ling. Now it’s my turn!”
The Green Giant Python, expressionless, glanced at it, hissed a couple of times, and began to emit a Divine Intent to the Golden Ape, which seemed to be explaining the precautions for spending time with Zhi Ling.
The Golden Ape looked serious and said, “I understand, I will certainly practice with Zhi Ling.”
The Green Python nodded, then directed a Divine Intent to Zhi Ling and Lin Yi, seeming to say that it would be closing off for some time to Cultivate. From here on out, this stinking squirrel would be keeping company with and Cultivating with Zhi Ling.
Zhi Ling looked reluctant, zoomed to the side of the Green Python, and used its little paws to hug its body. However, its tiny paws couldn’t even wrap around the skin of the giant python.
“Senior Green Python, I will bring Zhi Ling to visit you often,” Lin Yi made a bow with clasped hands. The next time the Dan God Secret Realm opens, it would be more than ten years from now.
The Green Python lowered its head and lightly licked Zhi Ling with its tongue. Then it slowly slithered down from the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden.
Zhi Ling stood by the edge, looking down, and her eyes were full of reluctance.
At this moment, The Golden Ape came over and gently patted Zhi Ling, “Zhi Ling, from now on I will play with you. No need to think about that guy.”
