Chapter 43: Impossible Skill

After the black ball of light flew seven to eight meters straight, it exploded in the air with a poof.

It was like unscrewing the cap of a soda bottle that had been shaken for a long time. The sound of the explosion above his head was extremely soft compared to the roar of Ah Zhou.

A layer of translucent black light that could be seen by the naked eye radiated in the surroundings with the center of the explosion as the node. Finally, it enveloped a spherical region of nearly five meters.

There were originally fifty to sixty Scavenger Hummingbirds flying in the spherical area. After the darkness eroded them, they flapped twice and lost their vital signs one after another. They fell straight from the sky.

Looking at the “rain of Hummingbirds” in the sky, Bai Wushang didn’t hide nor dodge. He was dumbstruck.

“What’s going on?”

“What happened?”

Two questions came out of his mouth one after another.

After using its ‘ultimate skill’, Ah Zhou coughed heavily about two times and raised its head with its hand on its throat. It looked at its masterpiece in disbelief.

“You… You didn’t learn another new skill, right? Black ball of light… Area-radiation damage… I think I remember it…”

Bai Wushuang’s attention quickly shifted to the Eye of Perception and jumped to the “Skills” column.

At the very end, a brand new skill could be seen.

“Dark Wave Ball? Is it a dark attribute skill???”

Bai Wushang was so shocked that he could not close his mouth. His heart slowed down twice. “There’s no reason. Theoretically speaking, you can’t learn this skill…”

Just as he was shocked for a moment, a hummingbird with a larger body suddenly cried out. Then, the surrounding small birds all flew up and lined up in an orderly manner, following behind the large bird and flying into the distance.

Glancing at the hummingbirds that were as large as dark clouds, Bai Wushang did not care whether they were full or scared away. His thoughts were focused on the Demon Ape.

“There was a report in the ‘Theory of Evolution’ that said that the Demon Ape was the offspring of the blood ape and the Dark Demon more than a thousand years ago. Its gene sequence was stable, and it inherited many advantages from its parents. For example, the blood ape’s recovery ability, the Dark Demon’s power, and even its appearance was the combination of both characteristics…”

“But! The Demon Ape did not inherit the dark attribute power of the Dark Demon. It only looked black… logically speaking, unless it mutated or a top-tier Master used some extreme methods, it would be impossible for the Demon Ape to learn a dark attribute skill by itself…”

Thinking of this, Bai Wushang suddenly said to Ah Zhou, “Ah Zhou, can you use that skill again?”

The Demon Ape scratched its head, feeling a little embarrassed. It pointed at its own throat and gestured for a long time.

Bai Wushang looked at it for a while and suddenly said, “You mean, it’s not ready yet, so you have to wait for a while?”

The Demon Ape nodded vigorously, its mouth humming. It seemed that its vocal cords had suffered some damage, so it could not roar.

“I know. It seems that this skill has a certain time interval between use…”

Bai Wushang rubbed his temples and said with some distress, “Could it be that this is also the special part of the extreme species? Sigh, I failed so badly as a Master… I didn’t understand the secrets of Milky Way in the first place, and now I also don’t understand you…”

The Demon Ape came over. It controlled its strength and patted Bai Wushang gently as if to express some kind of consolation, telling him not to be troubled.

“Alright, I’m fine. If I can’t figure it out, then I can’t figure it out… in terms of the result, you’ve become a little stronger. This is something worth being happy about…”

Bai Wushang took a deep breath and adjusted his emotions before continuing, “Since the Scavenger Hummingbirds have all left, then let’s hurry up and bury your people!” freewebnovel. com

“Wu Wu!” Ah Zhou nodded its head vigorously.

After spending about twenty minutes, Bai Wushang assisted the Demon Ape and dug a very, very deep hole.

Both man and beast worked together to lift the corpses and place the six Demon Ape carcasses into the hole.

Before turning over the soil to bury them, Bai Wushang even specifically sprinkled some kind of plant powder. It could cover the smell for a short period, preventing small animals from digging underground.

“Alright, this method of burial might be a little pretentious for transcendent creatures that live in nature.”

Bai Wushang wiped the dirt off his hands with a leaf, raised his head and smiled at Ah Zhou, “However, it can also be considered a ceremony to fulfil half of your wishes.”

The Demon Ape stared at the small mound of dirt on the ground. Its right eye was red and swollen, and there were traces of tears in it.

After a moment of silence, it raised its head and silently roared towards the sky.

After it regained its calm, the sadness hidden deep in Ah Zhou’s eyes faded a little. Instead, it looked at Bai Wushang with an additional look.

“You’re also looking forward to it, right? The other half of your wishes is to chase after the remaining Swift Wind Sword Wolves and finish this matter!”

Bai Wushang smiled slightly, but he changed the topic, “However, today is already the sixth day. My scent pouch has lost its effect. Now, any transcendent creature, including other humans, may become our enemy.”

“You haven’t fully recovered yet. No… Even if you’re at your peak, we can’t be too anxious to do anything. We must plan before we act… After all, there will be a mountain taller than another mountain. Who knows, there might be a mature form hidden somewhere. We still can’t defeat that kind of fellow at the moment.”

“I plan to relearn your skills before hunting the Sword Wolf. I’ll try my best to fully understand your abilities. Only then can I make a better judgment when we are in danger…”

Bai Wushang slowly explained his logic and thoughts. He was afraid that the Demon Ape would not understand what he was saying, so he imitated it and gestured with his hands and feet.

The reason why it was so difficult to communicate at this moment was that Bai Wushang’s compatibility with the Demon Ape was not high enough.

When humans and pet beasts signed a contract, even the most ignorant transcendent creature would be able to understand the Master’s simple commands. fre(e)webnovel.com

But what was even more complicated was when it involved intelligence and the compatibility between humans and pets.

Intelligence, literally speaking, referred to the intelligence of the pet beast. This was something that the Demon Ape possessed. It was equivalent to a ten-year-old human child now, and it would become even more intelligent as it grew in the future.

Compatibility was another important attribute factor.

It existed in six realms, and each realm granted different changes between humans and pets.

For example, Bai Wushang and Milky Way, because they were life-bound summoners, their innate compatibility was very high. They were directly in the third realm — “Psychic”, and had activated “Weak Telepathy”.

With this ability, Bai Wushang and Milky Way could communicate simple emotions and ideas through their thoughts, making communication easier and more accurate.

As for the Demon Ape, Bai Wushang estimated that because the level of intelligence of the Demon Ape was high enough, and he had given his all sincerely, he should have already passed the first stage, “Lack of Trust”, and entered the second stage, “Stability”..
