Chapter 158 The experiment was successful, but there was murder hidden in the dark!
The first demon ape that pounced in targeted a female student.

A pair of red-haired legs hooked around its neck and sharp claws began to scratch its face.

Large pieces of blood and flesh splattered.

A shrill wail pierced the sky.

An old professor nearby was about to go up to rescue him when he was knocked to the ground by another, stronger demon ape, which bit his neck with its mouth full of sharp teeth.

A moment of crisis.

An arrow flew like a dragon and accurately pierced the demon ape's head.

Gu Xiyue moved quickly, pulling the bowstring with three arrows on it at the same time, and shot and killed the three demon apes that wanted to attack the professors again.

However, the number of demon apes is too large.

They were frenzied and fearless, and dozens of them rushed towards Gu Xiyue.

Gu Xiyue was not good at close combat, so he could only retreat, and then counterattack with the power of the bow after he had some distance between them.

Qi Sui's side was also caught up in a melee.

A demon ape with long fangs and sharp claws flew towards Mo Ying.

Qi Sui's eyes were cold and cruel, his right arm muscles bulged with strength, and he swung it at the demon ape. His fist was flowing with brilliant internal energy light and shadow, like a rising sun.

The demon ape did not dodge or evade, but instead opened its mouth wide, as if wanting to swallow the fist directly.

Snapped--

It was like the sound of a watermelon falling to the ground and breaking.

Before the fists made contact, the demon ape's head was directly crushed by the extremely powerful wind and turned into a bloody mist.

"Profession [Berserker Tyrant] Experience +2"

Even the crazy apes were stunned for a moment by this ferocious punch.

"Oooooooo-"

On a big tree not far away, a demon ape that was obviously larger and nearly three meters tall roared.

The group of apes seemed to have received some kind of instructions. They no longer cared about Qi Sui, but instead frantically attacked other weak ordinary people.

"Is there a leader?"

Qi Sui's eyes were fixed on the giant red-haired ape.

The voice reached Mo Ying's ears: "Teacher, I'm sorry!"

"what?"

Mo Ying blinked blankly, not quite understanding what the boy meant.

But the next second, she felt a strong and sturdy arm wrapped around her waist, as if she was riding on a high-speed train. The scenery around her was rapidly receding, and her body actually appeared in mid-air.

Fortunately, she was not a weak girl. She did not scream out of control, but just hugged Qi Sui's waist even tighter, trying not to fall down.

The red-haired giant ape sensed the danger and began to flee madly into the forest.

But Qi Sui's speed was too fast. Every time he used the tree trunk to gain leverage, he could jump hundreds of meters away. He caught up with him in just a few flashes.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, the red-haired giant ape simply turned around and prepared for a desperate fight.

It opened its mouth wide and was about to bite, but was kicked in the abdomen by the right leg that was shining with internal energy.

That is a terrifying force of nearly one million pounds, over four hundred tons, enough to destroy the demon ape's body at the cellular level.

After a moment of stiffness.

The body of the red-haired giant ape exploded into a bloody mist, and Qi Sui used his mental power to throw it all onto the tree trunk nearby.

"Profession [Berserker Tyrant] Experience +12..."

"what!"

It was not until then that Mo Ying let out a small cry of surprise.

"Teacher, it's okay!"

Qi Sui simply said a few words of comfort and quickly returned with the woman.

Just as he expected, after losing their leader, the apes scattered like monkeys when a tree fell. Their fighting power was greatly reduced, and they soon fled in all directions under the shooting of the soldier squad, leaving behind a pile of corpses.

"Medic, come quickly and save the professor and students first!"

"Everyone else is on alert!"

The young captain was badly injured, with his right arm bitten off, but he still managed to hold on.

He kicked away the medical worker who was trying to stop his bleeding, pointed at a female student who had fallen to the ground and yelled, "Are you fucking deaf? I told you to save the students first!"

The medical worker then held back his grief, threw himself in front of the female student, took out a large amount of medical equipment from the first aid kit, and used it to stop the bleeding and treat her.

Qi Sui glanced at the somewhat messy scene.

Because of his timely action, there were not many casualties among professors and students. Two professors and five students were slightly injured, and only the female student who is being treated now was seriously injured.

But with the current level of medical care, there will definitely be no problem in saving lives.

As for the squad of soldiers standing in the front, the casualties were much more tragic.

Four people unfortunately died, seven others including the captain were seriously injured, and the others were also injured to varying degrees.

Gu Xiyue walked over with a strong bow on her back. Her body was covered in mud, but she was not injured. Not far away, there were sixteen demon apes with arrows stuck in their heads.

"Great!"

Qi Sui moved his mouth and secretly gave her a thumbs up.

The girl nodded slightly.

Suddenly, as if she thought of something, she turned her head to one side, leaving him with a delicate and cold profile, and it was obvious that she was still angry.

At this moment, a figure fell from the sky.

It’s the martial arts master Su Jixiang!

His face was grim, his clothes were stained with blood, and in his hand he was holding a black-feathered bird with a broken neck.

After seeing the situation on the field, his nervous expression eased a little.

Luckily fortunately!

Nothing happened to the professors!
You have to know that these people are the pillars of Xia's scientific research community. Even if one of them dies, it will be a painful loss that Xia can hardly bear. Even as a martial arts master, he cannot afford such consequences.

"Senior Su, this bird is..."

Qi Sui's eyes narrowed slightly.

Even though it had lost its vitality, this bird still exuded an indescribable sense of terrifying oppression, which was stronger than the alien red abyss eagle-faced beast seen in the Qingziling secret realm that year.

Especially the pair of sharp claws, shining with black light, condensing powerful supernatural power.

"The alien species had been hovering in the air long before you were attacked. I chased it and took some effort to kill it. I didn't expect something would happen here so soon!" Su Jixiang sighed.

He was forced to take action.

Air to ground, we have an absolute advantage.

Among all the people present, the only one who had the ability to cross the void and fight him was the Grandmaster.

The seriously injured female student finally woke up after emergency rescue. She was Professor Miao Qing's student named Zhou Shuhan, and it was she who first questioned Qi Sui.

Zhou Shuhan's right calf was eaten completely by the demon ape, and her left ear was torn off. The worst thing was that her originally pretty face was now covered with dense claw marks, and she was definitely disfigured.

For a beauty-loving girl in her early twenties, this was more painful than killing her. Professor Miao Qing whispered to comfort her: "Shuhan, as long as you are alive, it is more important than anything else. Don't worry, the school will work hard to help you restore your appearance."

"Teacher, don't worry. I won't be depressed. Compared to those soldiers who sacrificed their lives to save us, why should I be sad?" Zhou Shuhan's eyes were dazed and her tone was very light.

Her voice made many people present burst into applause.

Even Qi Sui was a little surprised.

I can't tell, but this classmate Zhou has a very high level of ideological awareness.

Su Jixiang also nodded approvingly and said to the young captain: "Blade, take the wounded and retreat to the outside of the secret realm. Let the War Tiger Squad come in. You should take good care of your injuries. The country will not forget your contributions!"

"Yes!"

The young captain saluted reluctantly despite his serious injuries.

After a simple treatment by the medical staff, the wounded were sent to stretchers. But when it was Zhou Shuhan's turn, she firmly refused and said, "I won't leave. I want to stay with my teacher and classmates until the experiment is completed!"

"This……"

Everyone looked at each other.

Her mentor Miao Qing went up to her and tried to persuade her a few more times, but was unable to change the girl's determination to stand with the team.

Seeing this, Su Jixiang shouted, "Okay, women are as brave as men and have a lot of morale. Then stay here, medic, and you will be responsible for classmate Zhou Shuhan's injuries!"

He could see that the girl's injuries were only superficial, and although they looked terrible, they would not be life-threatening as long as the bleeding could be stopped successfully.

With Zhou Shuhan setting an example here, many professors and students who wanted to leave early because of minor injuries or fright had no choice but to stay.

Mo Ying, who had been staying close to Qi Sui and remained silent, suddenly took a step forward and asked, "Mr. Su, may I ask if the group of apes and giant birds just now were a premeditated attack on our teachers and students?"

Her words touched the hearts of many people!
"A premeditated attack? Probably not!"

Su Jixiang frowned and said, "The transmission channel of Yushan Secret Realm is heavily guarded. It is impossible for anyone with unknown identity to be allowed in. And these apes and birds are all native beasts living in this big forest!"

"They must have been startled by the explosion you caused earlier and were attracted here."

After hearing the man's explanation, many professors' worries were relieved.

Cheng Guoqiang was relieved, and forced a smile on his face, saying jokingly: "Teacher Mo, the explosion just now shouldn't happen again, right? If it happens again, my old bones won't be able to withstand it!"

"No, the explosion procedure only has that step, and it has been completed!" Mo Ying said.

"Okay, then let's insist on completing the experiment. We can't let the blood of the soldiers, Zhou Zihan and other professors and classmates be shed in vain. What do you agree?" Cheng Guoqiang said loudly.

"it is good!"

The flagging morale was boosted again.

The fear in everyone's eyes disappeared and their fighting spirit was rekindled.

Qi Sui stroked his chin and looked at Cheng Guoqiang a few more times. He was worthy of the position of the head of the Apocalypse Department. He was really good at manipulating people's hearts.

"In this case, the crisis is over. Let's hurry up and carry out the experiment. We will continue to strengthen our defense and do our best to ensure everyone's safety!" Su Jixiang said loudly.

"Qi Sui, let's go back to the experiment and prepare to record the data!"

Mo Ying turned and left.

Qi Sui followed immediately, but some doubts still remained in his eyes. The explosion might indeed attract ferocious beasts, but wasn't the timing of the appearance of the apes and birds a little too coincidental?
The mineral veins and the experimental equipment that had been built were not damaged by the attack from the apes just now.

The central reaction temperature is still rising.

Finally, the first Heng Crystal broke through the energy endurance point and transformed into a pool of golden liquid energy, and then vaporized into a ball of golden mist floating in the air.

Like falling dominoes, more and more Heng Crystals were vaporized into golden mist and floated up.

"Okay, it worked!"

"It worked! The experiment was perfect!"

"Great! The Hengjing ore vein that used to take a lot of manpower and time to mine can now be completed in just a few days!"

"This experiment is simply the key to unlocking a huge energy treasure. With so many temporary secret realms and so many Hengjing mineral veins, our Great Xia country will no longer have to worry about energy problems in the future."

"Technology is taking off! Technology is changing! Technology is changing! It will start today!"

"We are fortunate to witness this historic moment, and even more fortunate to be a part of making history!"

"..."

The crowd was engulfed in a sea of ​​cheers, completely forgetting the danger that had just occurred.

Many professors choked up and shed tears of excitement.

In fact, many of them have already achieved success and fame, and they are willing to rush to the front line even though they know that there are unpredictable dangers in the secret realm, all for the pure heart of scientific research.

……

Deep in the dense forest hundreds of kilometers away from the Hengjing mine.

A strong wind suddenly blew up, and a very light black mist floated over.

When the black mist dissipated, four figures with different appearances appeared out of thin air.

"Oh~Praise the Beast God, the first wave of operations failed!"

The person who spoke was a very skinny and hunchbacked man.

His hair was gray, his eyes were deeply sunken, his face was covered with countless worm-like wrinkles, and he was holding a red recorder in his hand, which was wrapped in black mist.

next to.

A tall man with blond hair, blue eyes and pale skin crossed his arms and sneered.

"Is this what the core missionary of the Beast God Cult is capable of? A giant ape at the level of a martial artist, with a group of apes at the level of a martial artist student, wants to crush them? You underestimate the power of the Xia people, don't you?"

Zhu Fan tightly grasped the recorder, but instead of getting angry, he frowned and muttered, "The martial arts master was attracted away. Although the monkeys are a little weaker, they should be able to deal with ordinary people without any problems!"

"It's a pity that the giant ape was also killed, otherwise we should be able to find out what happened from its brain."

"Okay, both of you stop arguing. Although this operation has failed, it is not completely without gain. At least we have confirmed that the defense of these professors is only that of a martial arts master!" The person who spoke was covered in a black robe and did not speak the Xia language.

The level of Yushan Secret Realm is not too high, and the highest power it can bear is that of a martial arts master.

If a supernatural being wants to break in, the secret passage is likely to collapse.

The tall, white-skinned man clenched his fists and said, "If you ask me, just go ahead and kill them. I'll hold Su Jixiang back, and you guys go kill everyone else!"

"Idiot, are you crazy?"

The man in black robes glanced at him coldly and said, "We have all seen Su Jixiang's information. He is a martial arts master who has been crowned as an emperor. He is an existence that is almost invincible under the extraordinary level."

"You want to hold him off? Even if the four of us attack him together, we still can't defeat him!"

"So what do you think we should do? We can't just keep wasting time here. The experiment over there will be completed soon. If we let them walk out of the secret realm alive, we won't have a chance to take action!"

The tall man, Virawut, said with an unhappy face: "I don't need to tell you what the consequences will be if you fail to complete the task assigned by the Divine Court!"

Zhu Fan said at this time: "I have a plan. We have the extraordinary divine object given by the Divine Court, the Dark Demon Cloak. We can use it to conceal our bodies and take the opportunity to approach those scientific researchers. Then, before Su Jixiang can react, we can kill them all!"

"Idiot! Do you really think Su Jixiang's Sky Domain is just for show? As long as he is nearby, he can stop us with just a thought!" Nicota, the man in black robe, said unhappily.

"Now, the most ideal method is to lure Su Jixiang away!"

"But after the failure of the first wave of operations, he must have become alert. It is almost impossible for him to repeat the same trick again."

"So, there is only one possibility of success left, and that is to find a way to delay him and buy enough time for others to kill everyone!"

At this point, Nicota's eyes fell on the last figure, and he said sincerely: "As for this matter, only you can do it, Professor Akagi Goro!"
