Without hesitation, Shen Luo bent over to pick up the two children, swiftly brought them into his courtyard, and settled them in his own house.
“Both of you, stay here and don’t leave the house until I’ve driven away the monsters and return to treat your injuries,” Shen Luo instructed.
“Immortal brother, you can rest assured that we will stay here obediently, and I will protect Bell,” Little Fish replied, with a determined look on his little face.
The color of pain on Bell’s face had also subsided a lot, and she quickly nodded vigorously.
Shen Luo gave a smile to the two children, then turned around and left, applying the Chasing Wind Step, he didn’t take the main road, but instead leapt straight in various places in the village, heading straight towards the village entrance.
Previously, when chased by the Mad Leopard, his desperate escape had inadvertently allowed him to comprehend some of the true meanings of Chasing Wind Step. With his now breakthrough in cultivation to the Grain Avoidance Stage, his physical condition improved, which also significantly helped his footwork.
At this moment, he was leaping on the rooftops of the village, his figure was light and his speed was quite astonishing.
The villagers he encountered along the way could only hear the sound of wind passing by their ears, and when they turned to look, Shen Luo had long gone, and they couldn’t even catch sight of his shadow.
In just seven or eight breaths, he had already reached the entrance of the village.
At the entrance of the village, there was already a cry of killing. The sturdier villagers were holding all kinds of wooden spears or crude crossbows, fighting with some demonic beasts.The attacking beasts were exactly like the grey-haired monkeys he had encountered before, their numbers had more than doubled.
Luckily there were no giant flying birds, these monkeys hadn’t attacked the village yet, however, this time the number of monkeys was too large. A dozen grey monkeys stood in the distance, continuously throwing stones that landed on the fence of the village entrance, producing a dense “bang bang” sound.
In addition, there were a dozen more who had already rushed to the fence, swinging their stone clubs and viciously smashing against the fence.
The fence was shaking unceasingly, as if it couldn’t bear the onslaught.
The people on the high platform behind the fence were desperately shooting arrows and hurling long spears, trying to drive away those grey monkeys smashing the fence, but their efforts were not effective.
Ying Luo was standing on the high platform at the moment, but he wasn’t casting fireball spells to attack the grey monkeys below, instead, his face showed tension as he vigilantly stared at the distance, as if on alert for something.
“Master Shen!”
The people at the entrance quickly noticed Shen Luo’s arrival and were filled with surprise and joy.
Shen Luo glanced around and quickly grasped the situation. He stood still, made a gesture with both hands.
A white water stream was ejected from the well nearest to the entrance, then it split into four and turned into four water arrows.
“Go!”
With a simple flick of Shen Luo’s fingers, the four water arrows immediately burst out, shooting through the gaps in the fence and hitting the chests of the four grey monkeys that were attacking the fence.
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
The speed of the water arrows was too fast, the four grey monkeys had absolutely no chance to react. Their bodies were thrown out, a blood hole as large as a bowl’s mouth was burst open on their chests. They struggled a few times upon landing, and then lay motionless.
The people of Longevity Village, after witnessing this, cheered joyfully after a moment of shock.
The group of monkeys outside were both startled and angry, constantly beating their chests and howling at Shen Luo.
Shen Luo ignored them, his figure darted to the vicinity of the fence, he leapt up to the high platform next to Ying Luo, and following Ying Luo’s gaze, he set his sights in the distance.
Upon a chaotic pile of stones a few dozen feet outside the village, a huge ape over ten feet tall with an entirely black body and deep green eyes stood toweringly, staring intently at Ying Luo. Its eyes contained none of the typical brutality of the Gray Apes, instead they were clear, indicating great spiritual wisdom.
The enormous size and its calm green gaze put a lot of pressure on Ying Luo, causing her fair forehead to glisten with sweat.
Just as Shen Luo looked out at the Black Giant Ape, it turned its gaze towards him as well.
With no change in expression, Shen Luo waved his hand, performing the seal in his hand once more. A stream of water shot from a nearby well, transforming into four water arrows that aimed at the four gray apes in the distance that were throwing stones, cleanly piercing them through once more.
Seeing this, a trace of murderous intent flashed through the green eyes of the Black Giant Ape. It wildly beat its chest and let out a high, resounding cry.
Outside the village, the apes, as if hearing a command, halted their attacks, turning to retreat in the distance.
At that moment, four more water arrows cut through the void, overtaking the gray apes running far away in the blink of an eye. They pierced through the apes’ backs, spraying a trail of blood.
Without even a chance to let out a scream, the four gray apes fell dead instantly.
“Roar!”
Seeing this from a distance, fury blazed in the eyes of the Black Giant Ape, it swung its powerful arms.
A black shadow flew forward, making a piercing sound as it broke through the air. To an astonishing degree, the speed was like a bolt of black lightning; it covered dozens of feet in the blink of an eye, coming just a few feet before Shen Luo. It was a black stone roughly the size of a human head.
Before the black stone could reach, a gust of wind had already struck him, causing his clothes to flutter.
Surprised, Shen Luo was about to cast Water Repelling Barrier, his figure flickering with blue light, when a ball of red flame flew over from beside him and blocked the black stone.
The loud explosion echoed as the black stone shattered in the flames!
However, the flames were obviously at a disadvantage, the fragmented flames were pressed backward by the vigorous gust of wind stirred up by the stone.
Countless fragments of black stone were wrapped in the gust, and after being struck by the fireball, they landed slightly off in another part of the fence.
Immediately some people took hits to their thighs or arms on the high platform along the fence, causing screams as they fell. They were drenched in blood, and one person who was hit in the chest had even been flung backward by the force.
Seeing this, Shen Luo’s gaze turned cold.
“Big Brother Shen, be careful. That black ape is the Ape King, an extremely strong beast. It’s already in the Grain Avoidance Stage,” warned Ying Luo, her face unusually grim.
“Did it come to take revenge for the gray apes we killed a few days ago?” Shen Luo said, looking towards the black ape.
Seeing that the black stone was unsuccessful, a low roar emanated from the Black Giant Ape in the distance, and it reached out for another black stone.
“Most likely, yes. Ape-type Demonic Beasts usually move in groups and are very vengeful. The village is really in danger today.” Ying Luo spoke quietly as if she was afraid the others nearby would hear and lose their morale.
“Since it is a revengeful Demon, it must be completely eliminated,” Shen Luo stated gravely.
“What?” Hearing these words, Ying Luo was stunned as if she did not understand Shen Luo’s intentions.
“You just guard here. I’ll be back soon”. Shen Luo didn’t explain further and before he finished speaking, he had already leaped off the high platform and landed outside the village. Taking quick strides, he started moving towards the direction of the Black Giant Ape.
At the same time, a sharp noise came from a nearby well and water streams shot out once more. They coalesced into a water dragon in mid-air, coiling and dancing around him.
