At this time, as Lin Tianming finished speaking, Lin Tianyun and Qin Xi on the side were suddenly it has been more than a month since they entered the ancient demon secret realm, almost two months.
During this period, they rarely encountered human monks.
As for encountering human cultivators participating in a war, whether actively or passively, it is extremely rare.
And now, according to what Lin Tianming said, the movement in the distance was actually a group of monsters fighting with several human cultivators.
After learning this information, Lin Tianyun and Qin Xi immediately became interested.
In their eyes, they now also want to know what happened in that war.
They really want to know how many monsters and human cultivators there are on one side of the war, what the battle scene is like, and who will gain some advantages.
In addition, what are the specific reasons for the dispute and what benefits can the Lin family gain from it are also the points that Lin Tianyun and others are most concerned about.
In this expectation, Lin Tianyun said in an excited tone: "Sixth brother, how is the battle going?"
"What caused it?"
"Should we go take a look?"
"Maybe we can intervene and gain some benefits!"
Hearing this, Lin Tianming smiled slightly and said: "Haha..."
"Tianyun, don't worry!"
"The noise of the battle is becoming more and more obvious. The enemy is also moving quickly towards us. It seems that they have discovered our tracks."
"So, even if we want to retreat now, I'm afraid it's impossible!"
After saying this, Lin Tianming's eyes were fixed on a certain direction in front of him, and his expression became slightly serious.
At the same time, Lin Tianming took out the Tiangang Sword and held it in his hand, obviously ready to take action at any time.
After hearing Lin Tianming's words and seeing his serious expression, Lin Tianyun and Qin Xi's faces also became much more solemn.
Then, they both took out their respective magic weapons, staring into the distance, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.
Just like that, the three members of the Lin family looked into the distance.
At this time, in their sight, they could clearly see that the brilliant light in the distance was becoming more and more obvious, and the sound and fluctuations were becoming louder and louder.
In the blink of an eye, the movement appeared in everyone's sight, allowing them to clearly see everything happening before their eyes.
Looking at this time, the group in the distance was actually a group of black golden apes, there were as many as hundreds of them, and they were frantically chasing the four human Jindan monks.
The number of these black gold apes is huge, and their overall strength is extremely powerful. Lin Tianming only needs to make a brief investigation to find that there are more than thirty black gold apes in the group that have reached the third level.
Among them, the number of black gold apes that have reached the middle and late stages is close to half, and the other half is at the early third stage.
Apart from these third-level black apes, the other black apes are at least at the second level, and are obviously from the same ethnic group.
To this end, Lin Tianming searched his mind for some information records about the Black Golden Ape.
According to some historical records, in the current world of immortal cultivation, the black golden ape is indeed a social monster. Its adult stage is usually at the late third stage, and its individual strength is also very powerful.
Normally, the size of a Black Gold Apes group varies. The smaller groups may consist of only a dozen Black Gold Apes, and their overall strength is relatively average.
Larger populations have been recorded to have numbers of hundreds of individuals.
Take the current Black Gold Apes tribe for example. There are more than a hundred Black Gold Apes above the second level alone. If those that are still in their young stages are included, the size of the tribe is definitely more than three hundred, which is enough to be called a large tribe.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming couldn't help but be shocked.
The reason for this is that monsters like the Black Gold Ape are rare in the current world of immortal cultivation.
Especially a population of black apes of this size is extremely rare at present.
Therefore, the appearance of such a large group of black gold apes in front of Lin Tianming really shocked him a little.
But at the moment, the current situation does not allow him to think too much.
Because in front of these monsters, four human cultivators above the late Jindan stage were being hunted down madly.
Looking closely, each of these human cultivators had a pale face, had some injuries on their bodies, and their aura was obviously weak.
Obviously, these human monks suffered a lot under the pursuit of the black gold ape tribe.
As a result, these people fled in panic, looking quite embarrassed.
Seeing this scene, Lin Tianming looked a little ugly.
But now, his focus is on the cultivation realm of these human cultivators.
According to his perception, among the four human cultivators being hunted by the black golden ape, there were two who had reached the great perfection of the golden elixir realm, and the remaining two were also in the late golden elixir realm.
Feeling this, Lin Tianming's expression couldn't help but change.
In his heart, he felt a little ashamed of these people's embarrassing escape.
You have to know that these four people are at least in the late Jindan stage, or even in the Jindan great perfection stage.
Especially the two of them, they have actually reached the Great Perfection of Golden Elixir, and their strength is obviously very impressive.
On this basis, if the four of them joined forces and fought to the death, they might not necessarily win, but at least they wouldn't be in such a miserable state.
It’s a pity that these four people were obviously frightened by the huge number of the Black Gold Ape tribe.
In addition, the strength of the black gold ape tribe is indeed very strong. The more than thirty third-level black gold apes alone are a powerful force that cannot be ignored.
If the remaining second-order black gold apes were added to the mix, given the monsters' fearless and ruthless nature, ordinary cultivators would indeed feel terrified if they encountered them.
Come to think of it, it's no wonder that these human Jindan cultivators, who clearly have considerable strength when they unite, were hunted down to this extent by these third-order monsters.
Just as Lin Tianming and his companions were thinking, the black gold ape tribe and four human cultivators in the distance had already arrived in front of them.
Immediately afterwards, the four human cultivators became excited when they saw Lin Tianming and the other two appear.
For a moment, the miserable looks on their faces gradually turned into some smiles.
From a distance, the fastest cultivator among the four flew towards Lin Tianming and shouted loudly.
"Fellow Daoist, please lend me a helping hand!"
"As long as you are willing to help and kill all these black golden apes, we are willing to give out three times the treasures obtained from their lair and trade with you fellow Taoists."
The moment he finished speaking, four human cultivators arrived one after another not far from Lin Tianming.
At this time, they were all panting, as if they had consumed a lot of energy in the previous escape. After hearing these words and looking at the appearance of those people, Lin Tianming did not respond immediately, but looked at them at this moment.
Through his investigation, he had already seen through the cultivation levels of these four people.
As for the origins of these four people, Lin Tianming was quite unfamiliar with them. It seemed that they were not from the immortal cultivation world of Jinfeng Country.
In addition, there is no specific intelligence information about these people in the territories of some countries where Lin Tianming has been.
Of course, these people should not have any hidden means that can escape Lin Tianming's detection.
After all, Lin Tianming has the assistance of the Five-Colored Eyes. In the current world of immortal cultivation, there are simply not many treasures that can hide from Lin Tianming's eyes.
And treasures that can hide from the detection of the Five-Colored Eye, or some secret techniques, are definitely not ordinary things.
If that is the case, then these unfamiliar faces are definitely not the cultivators of the same level that Lin Tianming is familiar with.
However, this also fully illustrates one point, that is, these Jindan stage people are unlikely to be members of the Blood Red Alliance.
On the contrary, among the Jindan-stage cultivators of the Blood Red Alliance, anyone who has reached the late Jindan stage of cultivation is the focus of the entire Lin family.
Not only the Lin family, but all major forces in the Qingzhou cultivation world will focus on collecting those who have reached the late Jindan stage or above.
However, there is no record of these people in the intelligence information controlled by the Lin family.
In this case, these four people are most likely not from Qingzhou.
Or in other words, they came from Qingzhou, but in the past hundred years, they basically did not stay in Qingzhou for long.
Only in this way, with the Lin family's current overall strength and ability to collect intelligence, would they not be without any intelligence information at all.
After understanding this, Lin Tianming was completely relieved as long as these people were not from the Blood Red Alliance, nor were they disciples of those Nascent Soul forces.
As a result, Lin Tianming's face immediately became gloomy.
Then, Lin Tianming snorted coldly.
"My fellow Taoists, you are leading the monster tribe here. Are you trying to drag us down with you?"
After hearing Lin Tianming's question and looking at his serious expression, the cultivator who spoke opposite him couldn't help but change his expression.
Obviously, he didn't expect Lin Tianming to be so tough.
However, now they are already at an absolute disadvantage, like a dog that has lost its home. If they do not find help in time, these black golden apes will definitely take their lives.
At the very least, they will be severely damaged.
As for how many people could escape and what state they could maintain, the leader did not have much confidence.
On the contrary, this cultivator was able to judge from the aura of Lin Tianming and the others that these people's strength was not weaker than theirs.
In this case, if they can ask Lin Tianming and the other two to help, then even if the strength of this group of black golden apes is very strong, they may not be a match for the seven of them combined.
Knowing this well, the leading Jindan cultivator couldn't help but ponder in his heart.
According to his thinking, could it be that the attitude of Lin Tianming and others was because the benefits he promised were not enough, so they showed no interest?
Or maybe the other people are also afraid of the powerful strength of the Black Gold Ape tribe?
Regarding this question, the leading Jindan cultivator was more inclined to the former.
Thinking of these questions, the man pondered for a moment, then said with an apologetic smile.
"Don't be angry, fellow Taoist!"
"To be honest, we had no choice but to lead the Black Gold Ape tribe here."
"I hope that fellow Daoist will help us once for all because we are all human beings."
"As long as we defeat these black gold apes, we will definitely give treasures to you fellow Taoists."
"And if we can kill all of these black gold apes, then we can give 40% of the large amount of black gold wood we found in their territory to you, how about that?"
After saying this, the leading Jindan cultivator quickly turned his gaze and looked at the other three Jindan cultivators beside him.
Immediately afterwards, the three people beside him also hurriedly bowed and clasped their hands, and then spoke one after another in agreement.
"Yes!"
"As long as you are willing to help, we can give you 40% of all the gains we found in this Black Gold Ape territory."
"Why don't you think about it carefully, fellow Taoist!"
"If we delay too long, I'm afraid this group of black-gold apes will launch another attack."
"So, fellow Taoists, it would be best if you make a decision as soon as possible."
At this time, after hearing these words, Lin Tianming's expression became a little more serious.
In these words, he also heard the other party's concession, but also heard the other party's threat.
It is obvious that these people are willing to sacrifice 10% of their interests in order to get Lin Tianming and others to help.
At the same time, they did not forget to move out the powerful Black Gold Ape tribe to put pressure on Lin Tianming.
If Lin Tianming just stands by and watches, he will definitely not let them participate when the benefits are distributed.
More importantly, the group of black apes had already rushed over and were only a few hundred feet away from where they were.
Next, no matter whether Lin Tianming takes action or not, it will not be an easy task for them to shake off the crazy attack of the black gold ape tribe.
The other party obviously understands this, which is why they use both soft and hard tactics at this critical juncture.
In response to this, Lin Tianming remained calm on the surface, but he was sneering in his heart.
In his opinion, the other party obviously didn't know their strength, let alone their methods.
They thought that just relying on this group of black apes would make the three members of the Lin family too fearful, so they had to join forces with a few others to save their lives.
Little did they know that if the three members of the Lin family fought with all their strength, even if they only relied on their strength, they would not necessarily be at a disadvantage in the battle with the Black Gold Ape tribe.
Even in Lin Tianming's eyes, the strength of the three of them was enough to defeat the black gold ape tribe.
By that time, there would be no need for these unfamiliar Jindan-stage cultivators to take action, and the Lin family would be able to escape unscathed, or even completely wipe out the black-gold ape tribe.
By then, all the ebony wood found in the territory of the ebony ape tribe will fall into the hands of the Lin family.
As for these unfamiliar Jindan cultivators, it is obviously impossible for them to gain benefits from the Lin family.
