At this time, Lin Tianming was hovering in the air, looking at the scene below with his sharp his gaze, the land beneath his feet was in a mess, with corpses and broken limbs of black golden apes everywhere. The scene looked extremely miserable.
The earth returned to a period of peace, and not a single black ape survived the hands of the human monks.
The only black ape that escaped, which was also the leader of the black ape tribe, had a very small chance of surviving Wang Yaowu's hands.
According to Lin Tianming's prediction, the leader of the black ape had already been seriously injured, and it was basically impossible for him to escape from the hands of Wang Yaowu who was in his prime.
In this situation, the escaped black golden ape leader is probably in great danger.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming looked in the direction where the black ape leader fled.
Sure enough, after a while, Wang Yaowu flew towards this side from the edge of the sky, dragging a huge corpse behind him.
The corpse was huge in size, and it was undoubtedly the escaped black golden ape leader.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming smiled slightly, thinking that it was not as he expected. Wang Yaowu killed the leader of the black golden ape in almost no time and brought his body back to the battlefield intact.
After calming down a little, Lin Tianming withdrew his gaze.
At this time, Lin Tianyun and Qin Xi, who had just finished the battle on the other side, also came to Lin Tianming.
Seeing the person coming, Lin Tianming nodded slightly. Even though he didn't say anything, Lin Tianyun and Qin Xi had already realized Lin Tianming's true thoughts.
So, Lin Tianyun and Qin Xi also nodded in response.
And then, the returning Wang Yaowu threw the body of the Black Golden Ape leader on the ground, making a loud noise that attracted everyone's attention.
Then, the monk named Xu looked at Wang Yaowu's actions and couldn't help laughing, with an excited smile on his face.
“Fellow Daoist Wang, you are indeed very powerful.
"It seems that you didn't spend much effort or time to easily kill this powerful black ape leader!"
The cultivator named Xu exclaimed in admiration, his words full of compliments.
As soon as he finished speaking, the monk named Xiang on the other side heard these words and also complimented him.
"Friend Xu is right!"
"In my opinion, Brother Daoist Wang is definitely the most powerful among us."
"Take the leader of the Black Gold Ape tribe for example. His fighting power is quite strong. An ordinary third-stage late-stage demon beast would not be able to defeat the leader of the Black Gold Ape even once."
"However, even such a powerful third-level monster was eventually defeated and fled by Daoist Fellow Wang."
"In the end, despite all the efforts, the leader of the Black Gold Ape still failed to escape from Daoist Brother Wang's grasp?"
When Wang Yaowu heard these words, he was very pleased, but his expression remained unchanged.
And then, Wang Yaowu quickly waved his hand, and then responded modestly: "Haha..."
"No, no... It was just a bit of luck."
"Fellow Daoist Xu and Fellow Daoist Xiang really think highly of me!"
After saying this, Wang Yaowu's expression returned to normal, and he seemed not to have taken the compliments to heart.
However, in his heart, he was indeed a little excited at this moment, and at the same time he was very satisfied with the actions of the two monks who spoke.
After finally calming down a little, Wang Yaowu smiled slightly and then took the initiative to change the subject.
"My fellow Taoists, this great battle has completely ended. The entire Black Gold Ape tribe has been wiped out."
"And now, the trouble that stood in our way has been resolved."
"Next, let's clean up the battlefield as quickly as possible, and then go to the nest of the black gold ape tribe together to collect all the valuable ebony wood."
"After we've done all this, we'll divide up our respective interests, and then we can each do our own thing."
After saying this, Wang Yaowu's eyes wandered over the crowd, as if waiting for their opinions and responses.
After hearing these words, the cultivators named Xu and Xiang responded immediately.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, what you said makes sense!"
"You know, this ancient demon secret realm is extremely dangerous, and is always accompanied by unknown crises."
"On this basis, something unforeseen may happen at any time, thus disrupting our plans."
"So, we should really hurry up and clean up the battlefield, and then collect our respective benefits."
"After we've done this, if everyone is willing to continue cooperating, we can continue to practice treasure hunting together."
"And if you don't want to travel together, you can go your separate ways."
"In a word, it's better not to waste everyone's time."
As soon as the words fell, the monk surnamed Xiang quickly took over the conversation.
"Yeah……"
"Let's hurry up!"
“Haha… there are quite a lot of ebony trees, and the value of each one is not low. Even some Yuanying early stage strongmen would be tempted if they saw it.”
"After all, these ebony trees are very useful, and their accumulated value is not low."
"At least in the eyes of cultivators like me, such a profit is extremely rare."
"With these ebony trees, even if we don't get other high-value treasures, our trip will be worthwhile."
After saying this, the monk surnamed Xiang showed an impatient expression, as if he was full of anticipation for the upcoming treasure-collecting process.
Not only him, but several other people who heard these words, although they did not say a word, the expressions on their faces actually said it all.
Including Lin Tianming and the other two, everyone had an excited look on their faces, basically expressing their true thoughts.
For this reason, Wang Yaowu also saw this and nodded immediately.
At this moment, he couldn't help but secretly think in his heart that these people were too stingy to have such a goal, and they were simply short-sighted.
Moreover, it is no wonder that the strength of several of them is just like this. Although some of them are at the same level of cultivation as him, there is a clear gap in strength.
On this point, Wang Yaowu was undoubtedly arrogant in his heart.
However, for the sake of harmony, Wang Yaowu did not express his inner thoughts. Instead, he followed the advice of the monks and began to proceed to the next step.
At this point, Wang Yaowu looked at everyone present again.
Afterwards, Wang Yaowu slowly said, "What everyone said makes sense. I think so too."
"So next, let's act quickly and clean up this battlefield first." "Afterwards, we will go to the nest of the Black Gold Ape tribe together."
"After all the ebony wood is collected, we will share the profits among ourselves."
After saying this, Wang Yaowu took the lead in taking action.
After hearing these words and watching Wang Yaowu's actions, everyone present did not waste any more time.
So next, several cultivators named Xu started to get busy, each of them was cleaning up the corpses of the black gold apes in an area.
At the same time, Lin Tianming and others also started to take action.
However, the three of them were huddled together, as if they had some psychological defenses against Wang Yaowu and his companions.
Wang Yaowu saw all this but remained unmoved.
In this way, with the hard work of seven Jindan cultivators, it only took half a quarter of an hour to clean up the messy battlefield.
By this time, the tragic battlefield had changed greatly. The bodies of all the monsters had been collected, and some deep pits and gullies had been refilled.
As for the land that was stained red with blood, it returned to its normal color.
Looking back now, one can only find some traces of a great war on the earth, and other signs have basically disappeared.
After doing all this, the seven people gathered together again.
At this time, Wang Yaowu swept his eyes across the entire land, and after finding that there was almost nothing missing, he retracted his gaze and focused on Lin Tianming and the others.
Then, Wang Yaowu spoke again: "The battlefield has been cleared, and now we will proceed to the next treasure-hunting plan."
After saying this, Wang Yaowu took the lead and leaped, turning into a beam of blue light and shooting towards a certain direction.
After hearing these words and seeing Wang Yaowu's actions, the remaining six people began to act.
In the blink of an eye, six people followed Wang Yaowu's footsteps and chased in the direction he left.
Including Lin Tianming and the other three, they also followed the other group, fell to the last position, and soon disappeared in this world.
Then, Lin Tianming and his companions followed the other party and flew for half an hour, during which they walked a distance of three or four hundred miles, and finally arrived at a dense jungle.
At this time, Wang Yaowu was at the front, with the cultivator named Xu and Lin Tianming and others standing behind him.
During this period, everyone's eyes were searching privately, as if they wanted to see the geographical environment here.
However, Wang Yaowu and his companions all looked in one direction, and their goal was very clear, as if they had been here before.
In fact, they did come here for the second time.
However, the last time, they accidentally broke into this place and found traces of the ebony wood here, as well as a large group of ebony apes.
As a result, before they had time to conduct a thorough search, they were discovered by the Black Gold Apes, which led to a long-lasting hunt.
At that time, due to their insufficient overall strength and their unfamiliarity with the huge group of black gold apes, they were unwilling to risk their lives in a fight with this group of monsters.
In desperation, Wang Yaowu and others could only flee first and wait for an opportunity to make further plans later.
It was this kind of thinking that caused the four of them to be suppressed and beaten by the Black Gold Ape tribe. They paid a price for it and finally escaped several hundred miles away.
But it just so happened that they were completely at a disadvantage at that time. If they chose to fight a big battle with the Black Gold Ape tribe, there was a high probability that they would not be able to escape unscathed.
In fact, there is a high possibility that all four of them will be wiped out.
However, by coincidence, they happened to meet Lin Zai and several human cultivators, namely Lin Tianming and his two companions.
Therefore, Wang Yaowu and his companions did not need to think much and just thought about dealing with the Black Gold Ape tribe first.
In order to achieve this goal, they did not hesitate to promise huge benefits, and thus pulled Lin Tianming and others onto the same warship.
Now, they come here again, already standing in the perspective of the winner, which is a world of difference from their previous state of being like a stray dog.
Under such circumstances, when Wang Yaowu and his companions came here again, their curiosity was far less than that of Lin Tianming and his companions, so they looked towards the back of the stone forest at the first time.
Lin Tianming and his companions did not pay attention to the gazes of Wang Yaowu and his companions.
Because at this moment, they were all looking at this place.
Following their line of sight, there were a large number of towering trees in the jungle, as well as some strange mountains and rocks, forming some caves connected together.
In addition, many traces of the Black Golden Ape's life were found here.
And in some caves, there are a few scattered first-level black gold monkeys.
These black golden apes all looked extremely panicked, as if they had sensed the terrifying aura of the humans in front of them, so the moment they appeared, the black golden apes that remained here immediately began to flee.
In this regard, neither Wang Yaowu nor Lin Tianming and others paid any attention to these low-level black golden apes, allowing them to escape to the rear.
At this time, based on these circumstances, this place should be the lair of the Black Gold Ape tribe.
After understanding this, Lin Tianming turned his gaze to look further away.
Following his line of sight, there was still a dense forest within ten miles behind the stone forest.
However, the color of that patch of dense forest was extremely dark, and its color was extremely different from the dense forest outside.
Looking closely, standing in the dark dense forest were towering trees that were dozens of feet tall. Their branches and leaves were extremely black, and there were some very conspicuous lines at the bottom.
Seeing these towering trees, Lin Tianming's expression changed slightly.
"Ebonywood!"
"It is indeed ebony. Judging from the number of them, there are probably at least several hundred of them!"
"It's hard to imagine that there are so many ebony trees growing in a place like this. No wonder Wang Yaowu and his friends are so obsessed with this place."
"In order to obtain the ebony wood here, they even gave up 40% of their profits to seek help from outside forces."
"Now it seems that Wang Yaowu and his men are willing to give up. We can also see their determination."
At this time, seeing these forests of ebony trees, Lin Tianming was secretly amazed.
At the same time, Lin Tianyun and Qin Xi behind him also discovered the existence of this dense forest.
Including the ebony trees in the dense forest, they were also within their sight.
So in the following, the thoughts in Lin Tianyun and the others' minds were exactly the same as Lin Tianming's.
Obviously, both of them were also shocked by the huge number of ebony trees.
