Chapter 88: A Chance to Save a Life

When she realized this, Chu Long looked at Liu Yan and could not help but be secretly surprised.

Was Liu Yan really this strong?

Chu Long was quite puzzled as to what Liu Yan was doing, especially last night. She gradually realized that something was wrong. Liu Yan was getting faster and faster, and his strength was improving quickly, too.

In such a short period of time, how did he manage to get so much stronger?

Chu Long was really confused. Luckily, Liu Yan was a pretty trustworthy person, and he was still her teammate. Liu Yan’s own abilities and his rapid increase in strength were still good things.

Under the lead of the Golden-Armored Blue Ape, the three people and two fierce beasts passed through the tunnel of the Taiji Mountains.

The Golden-Armored Blue Ape roared a few times as it walked.

The few of them did not understand what the Golden-Armored Blue Ape said, but Liu Yan managed to guess what it meant through the Shadow Wolf. He explained, “The Golden-Armored Blue Ape is saying that it will suppress anyone here, and has ordered this tunnel to be guarded. No outsiders can pass through, and only a sufficiently strong Awakened is able to open the tunnel for three days.”

“In that case, the Awakened behind us can relax. They don’t have to fight with the Silverback and Golden-Armored Blue Apes to pass through this tunnel safely,” Chu Long analyzed.

“That’s right.” Liu Yan nodded slightly.

Right then, Liu Yan noticed what Chu Long was getting at. Should he negotiate with the Golden-Armored Blue Ape? It had forced a tie between Liu Yan and itself. Would the Ape have opened the tunnel to let Liu Yan pass anyway, since he was strong enough?

At first, Liu Yan thought that he gained some advantages, and did not expect that he would be the first to lose out. He only agreed to help the Golden-Armored Blue Ape remove some of the spells.

However, Liu Yan did not think too much about it. In any case, it would not do him any harm. He even had a chat with the Golden-Armored Blue Ape.

According to what the Golden-Armored Blue Ape said, it must have extraordinary strength. Restraining itself here reduced its strength by 90%.

In other words, if the Golden-SArmored Blue Ape hadn’t been suppressed and used its full strength, it would have been an extremely terrifying existence. It was so powerful that Liu Yan didn’t even dare to think about it.

The Taiji Mountains were very large, and the tunnel was very long. The trio wasn’t slow, but they still walked for over an hour before reaching the end of the tunnel.

The Golden-Armored Blue Ape stopped and turned to look at Liu Yan. Its meaning was self-evident. It was waiting for Liu Yan to fulfill his promise.

Although Liu Yan had been cheated, this was something he had agreed to, so Liu Yan would not go back on his word.

Liu Yan first went forward to cancel the temporary contract, but he was not very familiar with it. After a round of trial and error, the contract was somewhat canceled.

Liu Yan felt that some vague connection seemed to still exist between him and the Golden-Armored Blue Ape, but he did not know how to cancel it entirely.

However, the Golden-Armored Blue Ape did not seem to mind very much. It roared a few times.

Through telepathic communication with the Shadow Wolf, Liu Yan immediately understood what the Golden-Armored Blue Ape meant. It wanted Liu Yan to quickly help it come into contact with part of the suppression spell. The Ape had been suffering all this time, and was really uncomfortable.

“Alright, I’m coming.” As Liu Yan spoke, he dug out a few materials and helped the Golden-Armored Blue Ape remove the spells according to the magic theories he had learned.

A green hexagonal array appeared and enveloped the Golden-Armored Blue Ape.

Instantly, the Golden-Armored Blue Ape let out a series of earth-shattering roars. The entire mountain crevice reverberated, and even the ground shook slightly.

Liu Yan and the other two felt as if their eardrums were about to burst under the loud roar. They hurriedly covered their ears.

After a long while, the green hexagonal array disappeared, and the roars from the Golden-Armored Blue Ape gradually stopped.

The Ape, who had a pained expression just a moment ago, now looked at Liu Yan and roared a few times with joy.

Liu Yan glanced at the Shadow Wolf and immediately understood what the Golden-Armored Blue Ape meant. Although Liu Yan had only helped it resolve some of the magic spells, the Ape managed to release a lot of its strength. More importantly, Liu Yan had helped the Golden-Armored Blue Ape alleviate a lot of the pain caused by hatred.

The Golden-Armored Blue Ape was thanking Liu Yan. At the same time, in order to return the favour, the Golden-Armored Blue Ape indicated that Liu Yan could use the weak connection that still existed to summon it once when necessary in the future.

At the same time, the Golden-Armored Blue Ape told Liu Yan that it had already released a portion of its current strength. It could deal with Liu Yan very easily, and its strength was incomparably powerful.

When Liu Yan learned of this, his face was immediately filled with joy.

Naturally, Liu Yan did not doubt what the Golden-Armored Blue Ape said.

With the Golden-Armored Blue Ape’s help, Liu Yan could summon it for assistance when he encountered a powerful opponent or when he was in danger.

Although it could only be used once, this was a precious chance to save his life.

However, the temporary contract was different from the life-long master-slave contract. Liu Yan could summon the Shadow Wolf without limit.

However, this would not be possible under the temporary contract. Liu Yan had to learn the relevant spatial spell before he could do it.

Any spatial spell was extremely precious. The first three floors of the Tower could not see any, and only the upper floors of the Tower could get it.

Liu Yan secretly remembered this. In the future, he had to learn related spatial spells. Only then could he summon the Golden-Armored Blue Ape to give himself another trump card. This was an extra chance to save his life.

“Thank you. It’s getting late. Golden-Armored Blue Ape, we have to go too. See you again.” Liu Yan thanked the Golden-Armored Blue Ape and said goodbye.

The Golden-Armored Blue Ape waved his hand in a human-like manner, indicating his goodbyes. Then, with his signature fast speed, the Ape left along the mountain crevice.

With the terrifying speed it was known for, the Golden-Armored Blue Ape disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

Murong Xue and Chu Long, who were at the same spot, saw this scene and were shocked beyond words. They did not expect the Golden-Armored Blue Ape to have such a terrifying speed. This was completely beyond their imagination.

“How fast was that? That was scarily quick, how did it do that?” Chu Long’s face was filled with shock.

“With this speed, who else can be its opponent? Any opponent would have no way of resisting at all!” Murong Xue exclaimed.

Liu Yan did not say anything when he heard this. However, he was laughing to himself. After he had used his S-Grade skill, Sixteen Times the Speed of Sound, Liu Yan was able to achieve such insane speeds, although he might just be a little weaker than the Golden-Armored Blue Ape.

However, Liu Yan did not say much about this to the two girls.

Sixteen Times the Speed of Sound was the first S-Grade battle skill that Liu Yan obtained. It was pretty much Liu Yan’s trump card. Naturally, he was not about to show it off too freely.

“Alright, let’s continue with our journey.” Liu Yan said calmly.

The attentive Chu Long looked at the time and reminded the rest, “It is noontime now, and the fierce beasts in the Yang Region emerge most frequently and most strongly at this time. Should we hide now and leave later?”

“No need.”

“No need!”

Liu Yan and Murong Xue said simultaneously.

Liu Yan glanced at Murong Xue and then said to Chu Long, “It’s okay. We’re strong enough. Besides, we don’t have much time. We only have two or three days left. We should hurry up and get more yang cards.”

Chu Long thought that made sense. She nodded slightly and the three of them set off for the Yang Region.
