After rebirth, I picked up my mortal enemy as my apprentice Chapter 177

Although he had no intention of hiding it from her from the beginning, he was still surprised by the girl’s sharpness.

“There was indeed a fight in this cave last night. When I went out to collect some dry firewood and came back, two Heshan apes rushed in.”

“Heshan Ape?” Ke Jiu frowned.

The reason why Ke Jiu noticed that a battle had taken place while she was comatose was because her keen spiritual perception detected a faint demonic aura here.

Coupled with the obvious damage caused by fighting around the cave walls, it is easy to make people think of something.

However, Liuyun Mountain Range is the territory of Jinghang Sect, and some high-level monsters that pose a great threat to humans have basically been expelled.

The remaining monsters are the type that are not very intelligent or not very aggressive and know to retreat when they encounter humans.

“Did you provoke them?”

“I fainted last night. I was so focused on you that I didn’t have the time to provoke these monsters.”

“That’s right.” Ke Jiu nodded. In fact, she was just asking casually.

Ke Jiu had already thought about it. The white giant ape she faced when she was just teleported to this node the day before yesterday seemed to be the leader of this group of Heshan apes.

She snorted coldly.

“It really doesn’t know what’s good for it. I haven’t even bothered it yet, but it actually sent its men to bother me!”

Hearing that Ke Jiu seemed to have some problems with the white ape, the boy pricked up his ears curiously.

“Sister Nan, how did you become entangled with these white apes?”

Ke Jiu smiled faintly, but there was mockery in his eyes.

“Thanks to that white-haired ape, otherwise it would have taken me a while to find you.”

Ji Fan recalled the scene of her “falling from the sky” and instantly understood the grudge between Ke Jiu and Heshan Yuan.

“But most monsters are only sensitive to things within their own territories, and usually have no interest in things outside of their territories!

Why did he send his white ape to trouble you after you left? Sister Nan, did you steal the spiritual plant it was guarding when you came here? ”

“That’s not the case, it’s just…”

Ke Jiu thought of the green lotus in his body. Some spiritual plants can be very helpful for monsters to break through. They will not necessarily simply stay in their own area and not go out.

Could it be that the leader of the Heshan Ape has already sensed the green lotus in her body?

But the elders in the sect who had interacted with me before didn’t notice anything unusual about the green lotus on my body. Could a nearly innate demon beast have such a keen sense of perception?

“Forget it, there’s no point in thinking too much. I still remember the punch it gave me. When I recover, I’ll naturally make it pay.”

As she spoke, she raised her clenched fist with a gloomy face, as if she had already grasped the white ape in her hands.

The boy had been carefully observing her expression since a while ago.

Judging from the situation, there shouldn’t be any serious problem.

He advised: “Revenge and other matters should be considered later? Sister Nan, what is the most important thing for us now? Don’t delay the important things!”

“We? The most important thing…what do you mean?”

“Aren’t we currently taking the Dijinghang Sect’s disciple assessment? We should prioritize passing the assessment. Killing the monsters…even if we win, it won’t allow us to pass the assessment.”

“This is your idea, and has little to do with my reality.”

The boy was embarrassed.

“Sister Nan, you don’t seem to be very concerned about passing our sect’s assessment.

Do you feel that you will definitely go, or…”

Ke Jiu glanced at him and understood what he meant in his heart.

Maybe he thought she might have a backdoor, and this disciple assessment was just a formality.

But this time she just happened to feel proud.

“Why should I explain to you what I have done in my life?”

Ji Fan suddenly choked.

“Sister Nan, was there an immortal named Nan Xuan in your family before?”

“It seems that you also know this allusion.” Ke Jiu stretched out his fingertips and poked his head, “Stop talking nonsense and let’s go.”

“So should we go to the central area where the white fog is thin to find the space node or… go find the white ape first.”

Ke Jiu was the first to walk out of the cave.

“My intuition tells me that the area where the white ape is located is not far from the area of ​​this spatial node.”

Although he didn’t know where her intuition came from or how credible it was, the boy still nodded in agreement.

“Then let’s look for traces of the two white apes escaping last night and follow them all the way?”

“You lead the way!”

The boy took a deep breath and followed her to look outside the cave.

His eyes were fixed on the direction where the white ape had escaped last night, and he could vaguely make out two shallow claw marks in the mud and dead leaves on the ground.

It should be what was left behind by the two white apes when they fled in panic last night.

“Sister Nan, I found some traces. Please follow me.”

Ke Jiu also noticed traces of the Heshan Ape, but she felt very at ease and was very happy to let her apprentice do the work.

The air in the forest was moist and cool, and the leaves rustled in the wind.

The young man walked forward cautiously, carefully avoiding the dead branches on the ground to avoid making any noise that might alert the white ape hiding in the dark.

Not far away, he found a bush that was bent, obviously where a large creature had passed by.

Ji Fan was delighted and quickened his pace. As he went deeper into the dense forest, the soil on the ground became softer and the traces left by the Heshan Ape became more obvious.

Suddenly he stopped.

“Sister Nan, look there!”

“What did you find?”

“Here, in the broken branches under the big tree in front, there are a few white hairs. I think it is very likely that they were left by the Heshan ape last night.”

“What is the basis for that?”

The boy walked under the tree and touched the core of the tree where the bark had been torn off the trunk. He could feel the moisture inside which had not yet completely dried up.

“This place smells like saliva licked by Kuimu Wolf.”

“Kui Mulang?” Ke Jiu wondered why he suddenly brought up this.

“Kui Mulang particularly likes the blood of primates, especially monkeys. There are traces of its licking here. I guess… the injured Heshan ape last night should have been healed here.”

He looked at Ke Jiu.

“I have a hunch that the Heshan Ape’s territory should be not far from us, Sister Nan…we must be mentally prepared.”

“It’s just a little demon ape, nothing to worry about!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Fan turned his head suddenly as if he had sensed something.

There was a faint sound of calling from the distance.

“Help… Is there anyone? Someone come and save us…”

It was a female voice, and Ke Jiu felt vaguely familiar with it. Just as she was thinking about it, the voice became clearer.

“Save Xuan!”

She remembered who it was.
