Chapter 156: Chapter 111: The Caliber of This Strike
Amidst the Prince Snow Ape’s thunderous snores, time ticked by, second by second.
Suddenly, a Snowstorm Ape let out a muffled grunt and collapsed to its knees in agony.
Because the minced meat had been laced with Poisonous Bubble Crisps, it was devoured by the Personal Guards at almost the same time.
After the first Personal Guard clutched its stomach and fell to the ground in pain, many other Snowstorm Apes and Ice Storm Apes did the same.
The venom released by the Ten Thousand Corrosive Poison Mother contained Rule Authority with the effects of Erosion and Dissolution.
Even in a small dose, it still dissolved the stomachs of the Personal Guards who had eaten the minced meat in less than three minutes.
This process was bound to be excruciatingly painful!
But the Prince Snow Ape hated being disturbed while he slept more than anything.
In the past, if any Personal Guard made a sound that woke the sleeping Prince Snow Ape, they would usually end up as his next meal.
Under the Prince Snow Ape’s cruel discipline, many of the Snowstorm Apes and Ice Storm Apes made hardly any noise, even as they were poisoned to death and the Poison Chain conducted through them.
Zhong Yi had originally thought that the Prince Snow Ape’s Personal Guards would start wailing in agony and rolling on the ground the moment the poison took effect.
He never expected that their fear of the Prince Snow Ape would make them endure the pain in silence.
The plan was going much more smoothly than Zhong Yi had anticipated.
Zhong Ling sent out a few Blade Butterflies to observe the situation up close. Seeing that more than half of the Snowstorm Apes and Ice Storm Apes were already dead, she couldn’t help but glance at Shen Xuan beside her.
’Is this the kind of effect an SS Level Celestial Destiny Seeker can have in battle? The gap between a Celestial Destiny Seeker and an ordinary Guardian Beast Master really is immense!’
As more and more targets were killed by the Poison Chain, its lethality grew stronger and stronger.
When Zhong Yi saw that over eighty percent of the Personal Guards had been killed by the Poison Chain, yet the Prince Snow Ape hadn’t stopped snoring, he made an immediate decision.
"Ah Xuan, Xiaolingdang, we’re not staying in the Ice Cave any longer."
"We’re going out to face the Prince Snow Ape!"
"Ah Xuan, try to eliminate all the remaining Personal Guards as quickly as possible."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan immediately followed Zhong Yi’s instructions and sped up the Poison Chain’s conduction.
And in the process of the Poison Chain Conduction, he used his Beastmaster Talent, Poison Burst Calculation, on the elite Ice Storm Ape units.
By the time Zhong Yi and the others arrived before the snowy platform, only the carcasses of a few dozen Snowstorm Apes and Ice Storm Apes remained, not yet reduced to nothingness by the Rule Authority of the Ten Thousand Corrosive Poison Mother.
The Prince Snow Ape’s snores gradually quieted. At Zhong Yi’s command, Hong Ji climbed onto the snowy platform.
She stared silently at the slumbering Prince Snow Ape, not revealing the slightest hint of her presence.
Hong Ji had never tasted a Prince Snow Ape before.
Looking at the sleeping Prince Snow Ape, Hong Ji swallowed several times.
Despite the Prince Snow Ape radiating the aura of an Extraordinary Tier Peak, Hong Ji felt not a shred of fear—only an interest in her food.
A Demon like the Prince Snow Ape, capable of commanding thousands of Snowstorm Apes and Ice Storm Apes, has a weak spot during its Juvenile Stage: a hollow located beneath its neck, at the shoulder blades.
This hollow was even more vulnerable than the Prince Snow Ape’s eyes.
The hollow was densely packed with blood vessels but was not protected by a solid plate of bone. It was covered only by a layer of flexible cartilage.
The hollow’s purpose was to enhance the pumping capacity of the Prince Snow Ape’s heart.
The blood vessels converged there, allowing for faster blood flow.
This drove the Blood Qi throughout its body, enabling it to unleash greater power in battle.
Even in the Third Level Ice Cave Secret Realm, where the Prince Snow Ape had grown from its Juvenile Stage to adulthood, this weakness still remained.
The weakness in the hollow would only disappear once its Bloodline evolved into that of an Ice Ape Prince.
At that point, the Ice Ape Prince would become a truly formidable War Beast with virtually no weaknesses.
To defeat an Ice Ape Prince, one could only rely on a head-on confrontation.
Now that Zhong Yi knew the weakness of this Juvenile-Stage Prince Snow Ape, there was no reason not to exploit it.
No matter how the Prince Snow Ape shifted its position while sleeping, this hollow was always pressed beneath its body.
The Prince Snow Ape was normally very careful about protecting its weak spot.
Zhong Yi didn’t have Hong Ji attack immediately. He was waiting for the perfect moment—the instant the Prince Snow Ape woke up and stood, exposing the hollow beneath its neck at the shoulder blades—for Hong Ji to strike.
The moment the Prince Snow Ape began to stir, it didn’t immediately open its eyes.
Instead, it let out a sharp screech!
At this time, a Personal Guard was supposed to be waiting with a container made of ice and snow to serve it for its excretion.
But the lazy Prince Snow Ape waited for a good while with its eyes closed, and no Personal Guard came.
Annoyed, it pushed itself up and let out a furious roar.
When it opened its eyes, the Prince Snow Ape felt as if its entire world had come crashing down!
As far as it could see, its Personal Guards seemed to have vanished into thin air.
A short, slender creature clad in animal hides stood before it, momentarily dazing the Prince Snow Ape.
In the Prince Snow Ape’s memory, these hairless, two-legged creatures were a delicious food.
Just then, Hong Ji shot forward, a Bone Spike jutting out from the palm of her right hand.
Hong Ji’s body twisted nimbly, and she dove into the Prince Snow Ape’s embrace as if throwing herself into its arms.
But the Prince Snow Ape was, after all, a Demon that lived for battle. Even though it had just woken up and hadn’t grasped the situation, its right fist was already swinging fiercely toward Hong Ji.
