My Misfortune Crushed Instances-Chapter 279: Like Staking a Mark on a Wanted Man!

"Oh?"

Upon hearing Li Rui's words, Yuan Bu felt a bit displeased but still said, "What brilliant idea do you have, sir?"

With this, Li Rui's eloquence and expressive talent could come into play.

"The Flying Leopard Race is arrogant and unreasonable; today they demand our Powerful Ape Race to retreat, and tomorrow they will seize the sacred place for cultivation. Elder, why negotiate with such ruffians? Don't you know that yielding to the enemy is like fighting fire with fire; as long as the wood isn't consumed, the fire won't extinguish."

Li Rui said, "As things stand, unless we strike fear into them with sheer force, they may bring about our extermination sooner or later."

Yuan Ju couldn't help but nod, while Yuan Bu said, "You think I don't know that? The problem is, who will fight? Our Powerful Ape Race was once strong, but we have long since declined. The five generals of the Flying Leopard Race are each more formidable than the last. The disaster of Fei Lian is imminent, so how should we fight?"

Li Rui sneered, "I regard Fei Lian as a mere show-off, and I am willing to present his head as an offering under your tent."

You haven't even met him, so what are you observing?!

Both Monkey Demons quietly complained to themselves.

Yuan Ju coughed and said, "Honored guest, you may not know, but the Flying Leopard Demon you captured by the spring is insignificant, vastly inferior compared to the Flying Leopard General."

Li Rui waved his hand, "I have my own plans; let the Great King send Yuan Gang to lead the way for me."

Since he intended to build his reputation here, he might as well help them resolve their crisis first and then figure out the whereabouts of treasures in this Divine Wood Forest.

Yuan Ju thought to himself: Although Fei Lian is formidable, he is also quite strong. From the descriptions, he might not be much inferior to me; maybe he can indeed repel the enemy.

He wasn't some Holy Monkey, so of course, he was happy to have someone volunteer to help. After thanking him, he summoned Yuan Gang and some armored Monkey Demons to accompany him.

"I urge the honored guest to cherish himself and not be reckless. If... if you're overmatched, retreat quickly."

He was quite conscientious, not tricking people into risking their lives.

Li Rui thought that no matter how strong those Flying Leopard Demons were, they couldn't be that strong. He had already felt this during the confrontation at the water source; the ordinary Flying Leopard Demons were at most level thirty or forty.

He wanted to resolve the situation quickly, get the information first.

Yuan Gang said while hurrying on the road, "Honored guest, you must not underestimate the enemy. The Flying Leopard Race has five great generals, each extremely formidable and difficult to deal with."

"I understand, I won't be reckless."

"That's good, very good."

The group sprinted through the forest and soon arrived at the scene of the incident.

They saw a large number of the Flying Leopard Demon Race making noise. In the center of the encirclement, a giant ape as tall as two or three floors was baring its teeth and brandishing its fists. As it advanced, the defending Flying Leopard Demons retreated, but in another direction, they encircled again, making the situation look grim.

This giant fighter didn't seem to be from the Powerful Ape Race, Li Rui judged that this demon was approximately level 45, a large elite monster.

In front of the encirclement, a large flying leopard demon with gray bone armor stood on two feet, holding a fine steel broadsword, commanding his subordinates to attack.

"Fei Lian! You attack my clan members for no reason, what are you up to!"

Yuan Gang shouted angrily, stepping forward to challenge.

The opposing Leopard Demon roared a few times, Li Rui couldn't understand, but he saw all the accompanying Monkey Demons turn red-faced, their fur standing up, obviously furious. It probably wasn't anything pleasant.

Yuan Gang already took a rattan spear and moved forward.

This weapon was a product of the Divine Wood Forest, assisted by the Ape Race crafts, hard as iron, sharp enough to cut hair.

Fei Lian naturally wasn't afraid; the Powerful Ape clan was already a spent force, and aside from the Great King Yuan Ju and the giant warrior, no one else was a match for the five Flying Generals.

Everyone present, whether Flying Leopard or Powerful Ape, knew this. Seeing Yuan Gang charge, the Monkey Demons naturally became anxious, while the Flying Leopard Demons looked on mockingly.

To them, it was just one more monkey to be beheaded.

But at this moment, there was an unknown factor in the forest: Li Rui, who had ventured in from the seaside.

He hadn't expected the monkey to be this impetuous, knowing the vast difference in strength between him and the opponent, yet still charging forward.

He had no choice but to activate the Shenxiao Thunderbolt Heart Scripture.

Swish! A flash of golden light surged towards Fei Lian.

This sudden change shocked all the demon races, especially Fei Lian, who originally thought to decapitate Yuan Gang with a slash and intimidate the Powerful Ape Race into quick submission. Unexpectedly, an incredibly terrifying force was upon him.

It felt akin to when Li Rui first encountered a bulldozer as a child.

"Roar!!"

Fei Lian, in a moment of cowardice, had no choice but to roar, trying to bolster his courage.

However, just as he bellowed, a fierce and dreadful face suddenly appeared before him, advancing unexpectedly and surpassing Yuan Gang, closing in first while raising a hand entwined with rolling golden thunder.

Level 5 Thunderbolt Palm!!

The speed was so swift that Fei Lian couldn't react, directly getting slapped in the face.

Now both the biggest handwrap and the Shenxiao Thunderbolt Heart Scripture were level 5, making the skill strength not low. Moreover, the manager's overcoat had an additional attribute for increased critical strike damage. Although there were no other enhancements, this increase in critical strike damage was already at 120%.

The current Li Rui was different from his time in the previous Secret Realm. Not only had his equipment been updated, but his attributes had significantly increased, and his skills were maxed.

This one slap, even the Cracked Fire Beast and General Bai Fei from before couldn't withstand directly; Fei Lian couldn't handle it at all.

Bang—

The head was directly slapped away, even the blood spraying out evaporated in the Divine Thunder.

To deal with such a demon race, Li Rui didn't even need to use Community Thunder. Turning to face the demons surrounding the giant warrior, he brandished a few Thunder Vortexes, instantly killing a dozen Flying Leopard Demons.

The remaining beseigers were scared out of their wits, lifted their legs, and fled in a frenzy, soon gliding away along the ground, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

Yuan Gang and the other Monkey Demons were amazed.

The Fei Lian, who was enough to kill their entire team of Monkey Demons, was actually slain with a slap!

"Chatter chatter chatter!!!"

All the Monkey Demons were jumping and cheering, making excited noises with their mouths.

Li Rui picked up Fei Lian's head and handed it to Yuan Gang, "Please quickly return and report back to the Great King."

"The honored guest is truly unparalleled in valor; the Great King should hold a banquet to celebrate the honored guest's victory!!"

Thud thud thud.

At this moment, the giant warrior walked over and kneeled down, bowing to Li Rui.

"Thank you very much for saving my life."

His voice was deep and powerful, matching his formidable appearance.

"There's no need for formalities, just a simple effort."

These words usually express modesty, but now they sounded a bit boastful because it indeed took just a simple effort to kill Fei Lian.

"The honored guest is right; let's head back first. Giant warrior, you mustn't neglect the honored guest."

The giant warrior chuckled and placed Li Rui on his shoulder.

Temporary mount +1.

Li Rui sat cross-legged on his shoulder and returned to the camp with the other monkeys. When that Fei Lian head was tossed into the ground, the crowd of monkeys erupted in celebration.

Yuan Ju and Yuan Bu, the two leading monkeys, were especially excited.

"Thank you, honored guest, for helping our race eliminate a major threat!"

[Details: Current affection level of the Powerful Ape Race in the Divine Wood Forest: Reverence.]

At this point, Yuan Bu no longer appeared as worried as before, expressing thanks multiple times and finally asking, "I heard the honored guest wishes to understand the world's great affairs. I have a map to present to the honored guest, hoping you will not refuse."
