When Zhuge Ming made a breakthrough, Dongfang Qing, who had been rescued by the two Kings and taken to the cave, also woke up.
"Huh? Why am I not dead?"
Dongfang Qing rubbed her eyes, bewildered and unable to comprehend how she survived.
She slowly got up, looked at Ye Qiu, about to say something, but then stopped, her eyes moistening.
Dongfang Qing finally saw the female Long-armed Ape among the two Kings!
At this moment, the giant form of the female Long-armed Ape had become emaciated, its skin clinging to bones, limbs resembling withered branches.
Dongfang Qing quickly understood what had happened, tears flowing uncontrollably.
"You, you saved my life."
"You… actually sacrificed your own life to save me."
"I'm so sorry."
Dongfang Qing knelt beside the female Long-armed Ape's body, her eyes full of guilt, speaking amidst sobs.
"Wuwu."
The male Long-armed Ape, holding its child, called out twice, appearing very sad, yet still gently patted Dongfang Qing's shoulder, seemingly comforting her.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Dongfang Qing continued to kneel there, repeatedly apologizing.
The male Long-armed Ape looked towards Ye Qiu, pointing at Dongfang Qing, hoping Ye Qiu could come to console her.
However, Ye Qiu did not act, knowing that at this moment, Dongfang Qing needed some quiet time.
Dongfang Qing knelt by the female Long-armed Ape's body for half a day before standing up and jumping into Ye Qiu's arms, "Ye Qiu, I'm such a disaster, I'm such a disaster.
I caused its death, why do you think it did that? Why sacrifice its life to save me?"
"You saved their child, and when they saw us in crisis, perhaps this was the only way to give them peace." Ye Qiu didn't know how to comfort Dongfang Qing with any other reason.
The death of the female Long-armed Ape pained him greatly, filling him with extreme anger!
Damn Zhuge Ming siblings!
Truly damn them!
If these siblings hadn't followed us into the Secret Realm, how could such a tragedy have occurred?
"Zhuge Ming, Zhuge Ling, I, Ye Qiu, will not rest until I kill you!"
Ye Qiu clenched his fists tightly, vowing silently!
At this moment, the male Long-armed Ape gently pushed Ye Qiu.
"What's the matter?" Ye Qiu asked.
The male Long-armed Ape turned to face the wall, extending its right hand, drawing crosses on the rock wall with its fingers.
"It wants you to help kill Zhuge Ming and his group." Dongfang Qing immediately understood the male Long-armed Ape's intention.
"Don't worry, I will!"
Ye Qiu nodded heavily, resolutely saying, "Even if we don't encounter them again in this Secret Realm, I will still get their damned lives after we leave!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The male Long-armed Ape pounded its chest with all its might, seemingly expressing its gratitude to Ye Qiu.
Then, it pointed a finger at the giant rocks blocking the cave.
Understanding its meaning, Ye Qiu nodded slightly, saying, "That's right, there's not much use in continuing to hide inside this cave, it's time we parted ways, rest assured, I will help you kill those people from the Zhuge Clan no matter what!"
The male Long-armed Ape nodded heavily, dragged Dongfang Qing over, spread its arms wide, and with a powerful push, pressed Ye Qiu and Dongfang Qing tightly together.
"It's asking us to embrace each other," Dongfang Qing whispered, unsure why the male Long-armed Ape would do so.
"Just do it."
Ye Qiu said calmly, not believing the male Long-armed Ape would do anything harmful to him or Dongfang Qing.
The two embraced tightly.
The male Long-armed Ape's lips curled into a slight smile, then it swiftly turned and smashed a fist onto the boulders blocking the cave entrance.
Boom!!!
A deafening sound followed as the boulders blocking the cave shattered instantly, revealing the cave's entrance!
Immediately after, Ye Qiu saw a large number of mutant beasts gathered outside, all of them with eyes full of madness, clearly having caught the scent of his blood, provoked and unwilling to leave.
Fortunately, the two King Golden-haired Long-armed Apes possessed enough deterrence to prevent those mutant beasts from forcibly breaking into the cave.
Roar!!! Roar!!!
The male Long-armed Ape roared twice, pounding its massive fists against its chest, exuding the majesty of a King, driving away a large number of mutant beasts ahead.
Returning to its senses, it grabbed Ye Qiu by the collar, lifting both him and Dongfang Qing who were embracing each other, and hurled them towards the center of the Secret Realm.
The Golden-haired Long-armed Ape, endowed with divine strength from birth, coupled with Ye Qiu not resisting, caused them to be fiercely thrown miles away.
After a perfect arc in the air, Ye Qiu landed steadily, holding Dongfang Qing.
Immediately, they found themselves once again surrounded by a large number of mutant beasts!
"Let's head for the center of the Secret Realm!" Dongfang Qing pointed towards the Secret Realm's center, murderous intent evident as she spoke, "If I can successfully attain the Fang Family's legacy, the two of us together can definitely wipe out Zhuge Ming and his group without a trace!"
Ye Qiu coldly scanned the surrounding mutant beasts, spoke in a low voice, "Let's carve a blood path then!"
"Yes!"
Dongfang Qing nodded emphatically, facing the surrounding dense and ferocious mutant beasts without a trace of fear in her eyes!
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The two shouted lowly and then charged towards the center area of the Secret Realm!
The number of mutant beasts was enormous, a skyful, but Ye Qiu and Dongfang Qing's offensive was incredibly fierce. No sooner had they ventured into the mutant beast swarm, they slaughtered nearly a hundred King Realm and weaker mutant beasts in mere seconds!
Roar!!! Roar!!!
Their offensive quickly drew the attention of Half-Step Divinity Transformation level mutant beasts, followed by a chorus of enraged roars as a dozen of these formidable creatures launched an assault!
"Die!!"
Ye Qiu's mind was filled with the tragic scene of the female Long-armed Ape's death, his heart ablaze with anger, this rage unleashing all his strength, his massive fists pounding out like a storm!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Furious power erupted, causing the ground around them to continuously crack open, and every punch of Ye Qiu's fiercely struck the Half-Step Divinity Transformation level mutant beasts!
Each punch brutally exploded one of these Half-Step Divinity Transformation level mutant beasts!
Flesh and blood flew everywhere!
Ye Qiu and Dongfang Qing's ruthless slaughter, trampling over the bodies of mutant beasts, carved out a bloody path!
However, the journey towards the center point was no longer as smoothly unstoppable at the beginning!
Just like the previous entrance into Shao's Secret Realm, the closer they moved to the center, the more numerous the Half-Step Divinity Transformation level mutant beasts became, and their strength grew ever more formidable!
With the increasing strength of the mutant beasts, injuries began to appear on both Ye Qiu and Dongfang Qing's bodies.
After traversing two-thirds of the way, Dongfang Qing could no longer withstand the ferocious attacks of the mutant beasts, being ambushed and bitten on the shoulder by a leopard, sustaining severe injuries!
