Chapter 261: Chapter 228: The Little Monkey Shows off Again
This change didn\'t surprise Ye Chen too much, as he often observed the sleeping critter within the Heaven Spirit Ring and had noticed the little monkey\'s growth.
What truly astonished Ye Chen was that after the little one woke up from its deep sleep, it could actually speak!
Just now, the little one had even transmitted its voice to his mind!
"Yiya, Ye Chen! Ye Chen, are you hurt?"
The little one\'s childlike voice still echoed in Ye Chen\'s mind, an event that had never happened before!
Ye Chen had tried to communicate with the little monkey before, but the lively little creature could only understand him, not converse with him using words.
But now, the little monkey could speak, which of course thrilled Ye Chen beyond measure!
"Little monkey, was it you who transmitted your voice to me?" Ye Chen couldn\'t help but transmit his voice back to the little monkey.
"It was me, Ye Chen, it was me who transmitted my voice to you!" The little monkey flew out from the Heaven Spirit Ring and with a "shiliu" sound landed on Ye Chen\'s shoulder. Rubbing its head affectionately against Ye Chen\'s neck, it looked up at Ye Chen with its bright eyes, that gleamed like black jewels, all the while transmitting its voice to him.
Hearing the little monkey\'s voice again, Ye Chen was finally certain that the little critter could indeed talk!
The sudden appearance of the little monkey and its affectionate interaction with Ye Chen left the other Tomb Explorers utterly astonished.
They hadn\'t expected that Ye Chen carried such a strange little monkey on him.
Just from the golden glow emanating from the little monkey\'s body, its dazzling radiance and the golden light fluttering around, they could tell it was no ordinary creature.
They suspected it might be some kind of Divine Spirit Beast they had never heard of!
The Tomb Explorers were shocked, but the gathered Three Great Demon Towers—Tiger Demon Tower, Python Demon Tower, and Eagle Demon Tower—felt their minds recoil as if struck by lightning the moment they saw the little monkey, finding it almost impossible to breathe!
The Three Great Demon Towers even sensed a fatal threat emanating from this tiny golden monkey.
As if the golden monkey was their born nemesis!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
This inexplicable feeling even caused the Three Great Demon Towers, who had gathered together and were ready to strike Ye Chen simultaneously, to retreat several steps backward in horror.
They almost collided with one another in their panicked retreat!
In the end, the Three Great Demon Towers even felt an urge to flee. Had it not been for their duty to guard this ancient tomb under the order of Heavenly Saint Moya, they might have fled at first sight of the little monkey due to instinctual fear!
The Three Great Demon Towers were instinctively frightened of the little monkey!
"What... what exactly is it...?"
The Three Great Demon Towers sensed that the little monkey hadn\'t released any aura surpassing theirs, but strangely, it inspired fear at the very bottom of their hearts. This bewildering feeling made the Three Great Demon Towers keep retreating hundreds of meters before they could stand firm again, their demon eyes shimmering as they warily observed the little monkey.
It wasn\'t just the Three Great Demon Towers!
On the other side, the five other Demon Towers that had been ignoring Ye Chen and the others, who were carrying the bronze coffin, also turned their gazes toward Ye Chen for the first time when the little monkey appeared.
And in the eyes of these five Demon Towers, a look of fear was also evident!
Only when the light that had spread over the entire bronze coffin flickered and recaptured the attention of the five Demon Towers did they look away from the little monkey.
But upon closer inspection, one could see that even without looking at the little monkey, the five Demon Towers carrying the bronze coffin were trembling!
The actions of the Three Great Demon Towers and the abnormal behavior of the other five had already caught everyone\'s attention!
Fairy Nishang and the other Tomb Explorers noticed that the eight Demon Towers seemed to fear the little monkey.
This development made everyone\'s heart skip a beat; if this little monkey that suddenly appeared truly frightened the eight Demon Towers, the tide of battle might change!
Seeing this scene, Ye Chen\'s mind stirred.
"The little monkey is a descendant of a True Spirit, could it be that these Demon Towers are afraid of the True Spirit kind?"
Thinking this, Ye Chen transmitted to the little monkey, "Little monkey, do you recognize these demons?"
The golden little monkey standing on Ye Chen\'s shoulder shook its head: "Don\'t know them! But I suddenly felt a strange sensation and woke up. Ye Chen, did they hurt you? I feel like I can take them on!"
The little monkey\'s childish words caused Ye Chen to be taken aback.
Could it take on these Demon Towers?!
Keep in mind, these Demon Towers are all late-stage demons in the Rotating Pill phase. Even if the little monkey was a True Spirit, being so small, it couldn\'t possibly have become strong enough to face late-stage Rotating Pill demons!
Could there be some special ability that specifically counters these demons?
While Ye Chen was contemplating, the little monkey jumped down from his shoulder and flew into mid-air.
Then, the little one looked at the Three Great Demon Towers in front of it and said, "Was it you who hurt Ye Chen?"
The voice of the little monkey was exceptionally youthful, yet it naturally carried a sense of inexplicable majesty!
Its voice fell upon the ears of the Three Great Demon Towers, who with a "thud, thud, thud," took several steps back!
Only when they remembered their own late-stage Dan rotation realm, and that they possessed the Heavenly Saint Level treasures bestowed by their master, which granted them Heavenly Saint Combat Power, did they feel they should not show weakness in front of this tiny monkey. Only then did the Three Great Demon Towers stand firm again.
The re-established Three Great Demon Towers said in a deep voice, "So what if we were the ones who injured him? He also injured us!"
Upon learning that the bloodstains on Ye Chen were indeed caused by these demons, the little monkey was infuriated in an instant.
The little monkey, only the size of two palms, made a "whoosh" sound and leapt onto the ground, where astonishing golden radiance erupted from its body in a blink of an eye!
The golden light soared into the sky, and a mysterious roar began to echo through the entire void!
At the same time, the small golden monkey suddenly grew in stature in an instant; in the blink of an eye, the monkey had grown to dozens of meters tall.
Even though it was still smaller than the Three Great Demon Towers, the authority and presence it emanated were even more intense than before!
Seeing the little monkey grow, Ye Chen was startled.
This was yet another new change of the little monkey since waking up. It seemed that the little fellow who had woken up from its slumber was truly different from before!
Ye Chen could no longer help but ask the little fellow what other changes it had undergone!
Before Ye Chen could inquire, the little monkey, after "speaking" and "increasing in size," underwent a third transformation.
Staring at the Three Great Demon Towers, the infuriated little monkey\'s eyes, as shiny as black gems, suddenly took on an otherworldly hue of fiery red.
In an instant, the monkey\'s eyes seemed to have turned into fire eyes!
Following that, three golden divine rays shot forth from those eyes, and in an instant, they burst out toward the Three Great Demon Towers.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The three astonishing divine rays from the monkey\'s eyes reached the Three Great Demon Towers in a flash.
The Three Great Demon Towers, despite possessing Heavenly Saint Level techniques, were immobilized by the Fire Eye Divine Light as if they were bound, unable to move an inch, and in the next moment, they were struck directly by the divine light.
The three rays of divine light burned holes straight through the bodies of the Three Great Demon Towers, creating three large hollows!
The scene shocked everyone!
Whether it was Fairy Nishang and other Tomb Explorers, Ye Chen, or even the Three Great Demon Towers themselves, none could believe it.
No one expected that the small monkey, with just one move, would cause harm to the Three Great Demon Towers, and what\'s more, they couldn\'t even move!
"What in the world is this divine light?"
This thought flashed through everyone\'s minds in an instant.
Then, two different emotions began to emerge between the two parties: Ye Chen\'s side shifted from shock to great joy, while the Three Great Demon Towers went from alarm to true terror!
The Three Great Demon Towers, with three large hollows now burnt into them by the Fire Eye Divine Light, turned tail and fled wildly as soon as they broke free from the immobility!
In their frenzied escape, they tried to replenish the huge hollows burned into them with their flowing demonic energy, but their aura was significantly weaker than before.
Indeed, the little monkey had caused damage to the Three Great Demon Towers in a single move!
Seeing the Three Great Demon Towers fleeing, and having finally found their weakness, how could Ye Chen let them escape so easily again?
"Little monkey, let\'s strike together and take them down!"
Boom!
Instantly, the power of the Heavenly Saint surged from Ye Chen, and he began to chase after the Three Great Demon Towers like a madman.
"Okay, Ye Chen!"
Of course, the little monkey would listen to Ye Chen\'s words.
The moment Ye Chen moved, the little monkey instantly shrank back to its original form, then with a flash, it also pursued the Three Great Demon Towers.
Even before its slumber, the little monkey had an unbelievably fast speed and could effortlessly take the water from the Fire Elemental Spring under the watch of the Willow Demon.
Now, after its metamorphosis from sleep, the little monkey\'s speed was even faster than before, almost as if it were darting through cracks in the void.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, the little monkey had unbelievably outstripped the lead of the Three Great Demon Towers and blocked their path.
Once more, the little monkey\'s body swelled in size and it shot the Fire Eye Divine Light at the Three Great Demon Towers!
While the Three Great Demon Towers were immobilized once again and burned by the Fire Eye Divine Light, Ye Chen, ablaze with the power of the Heavenly Saint, also joined the fray.
"Crimson Fire Sword, strike!"
In a flash, the Crimson Fire Flying Sword shot forth from the center of Ye Chen\'s brows, transforming into a stunning crimson light that slashed at the necks of the immobilized Three Great Demon Towers!
