Chapter 279 Elite Apes



The more times the apes attacked however the smarter they would become as not all of them would join the attacks. The ones that had observed the battle would notify the ones that came after and they would only attack after their numbers were significantly higher compared to last time.

Right now however Reign and the others were standing on the branches in the jungle. The thick branches made it easy for Reign and the others to stand and they could actually move much more comfortably and without a lot of trouble. Soon Beast summoned his eagle and commanded it to fly above the jungle, the apes of course immediately attacked the poor beast but since Reign and the others had slaughtered a large group of them just a couple of seconds ago they were simply not a threat as all of their attacks were easily blocked.

The eagle spread its wings and soared above the jungle, Beast had of course used his ability and shared the eagle\'s vision. What he saw however shocked him greatly. The park that was situated in Doncaster had an area of about 1 square kilometer but what Beast could see was many times larger than that.

A huge and lush rainforest that spanned many miles could be seen below the eagle, there were no buildings that could be seen anywhere around them, instead the whole jungle was surrounded by huge rock walls that were easily above 1km in height. Multiple waterfalls could be seen around the jungle and there was an enormous tree far away from them. The tree was situated right in front of the huge rock wall and there was also a waterfall there.

Since that was the only place that was different in the whole jungle Reign and the others decided to go there. The journey towards the huge tree would take a while however as it was far away from them. The party was actually about ¼ of the way, slightly deviating towards the right side as they weren\'t able to move straight ahead without having anything to orient with.

Swoosh

Suddenly 3 humans-sized boulders were sent flying towards the eagle, the powerful beast flapped its wings and quickly evaded the boulders before looking down at where they were launched from. There were multiple apes about 400 meters away from Reign and the others, the interesting thing about these apes what that there were 3 that were bigger and had a lighter shade of fur amongst them.

The bigger apes were the ones that had launched the human-sized boulders toward the eagle. All of the apes had climbed atop the trees and were attacking the foreign monster that had appeared in their jungle. It wasn\'t as if they hadn\'t seen or fought flying monsters before, this whole jungle was once actually filled with all kinds of monsters, but the apes were the most powerful ones and after some time had passed they had almost completely annihilated the other monsters.

This was an issue for the apes as they actually loved eating meat. There were many fruits and berries that could be found and they had been surviving primarily on that for the last couple of days as finding prey was incredibly hard right now. The apes were getting restless and it was obvious that soon they would charge out of the jungle and attack the town.

Not only were they much stronger than other monsters but with the giant ape leading them they could completely obliterate anything that stood in their way. The small town would be almost completely flattened after they had finished and most of the monsters and humans living in it would be dead.

After spotting the eagle however the apes become very excited. They had hunted down all of the birds that could be found in the jungle, even though it was hard, by landing a solid stone or boulder on the bird it would fall down and they could eat it. For some time it was one of the things the apes did not only in order to get food but also for fun.

The eagle swooped down and disappeared into the jungle, Beast had immediately re-summoned it after it had disappeared from the sight of the group of apes. The reason he did so was simple, after seeing the eagle go down the apes would think it was either deathly scared or that perhaps one of their attacks had landed and now it was dead.

Reign and the others got ready and waited for the group to appear before they would launch a surprise attack. The number of apes in the group was about 30 and they would pose no threat to them even if they fought a frontal battle. There was no need to do so however as it would simply be quicker and easier to take them out via a surprise attack before moving towards the giant tree.

The apes soon arrived and started looking around for the eagle. Reign and the others had already hidden and were just waiting for a good opportunity to attack them. The three big apes were the primary targets for the surprise attack as the party wanted to take them down quickly as they didn\'t know exactly how powerful they were.

Their long-range attacks could even threaten Beast and Laura as the human-sized boulders flew rather fast through the air. Slowly the ape group was below them, some of the apes were of course on the many branches as they were searching for the eagle, none of them knew exactly where the monster would land after crashing down in the jungle. None of them thought that this was a trap however as they had never seen birds team up with any of the monsters that used to live in the jungle, they didn\'t even know what humans were and the only understanding they had of them was that they were amongst the weakest races that could be found in the town as some of the apes that went out and returned had seen them fight against the goblins and struggle.

Suddenly the apes heard a slight noise from above but before they could even check what it was they were greeted by a multitude of attacks. Beast had started the attack with his [ Rain of Arrows ], not only did the tens of arrows falling down on them surprise the apes but each of the arrows was able to pass through their thick fur and deal damage to them.

Of course, this kind of skill was more suited when fighting a big group of weak enemies and as such, it was simply unable to kill any of them, the shock it produced to the apes however was more than enough.

Reign, Wolf, and Shadow were targeting the three big apes and before the big guys could respond they had already appeared in front of them. The thick and powerful fur couldn\'t offer the three much defense against the powerful weapons they were up against and they immediately suffered some wounds.

The wounds however were not life-threatening and they simply served to get the apes angry. The apes immediately use their incredible physical power and attack their opponents, their powerful arms would create pits on the ground and even the tough threes couldn\'t withstand them. Of course, compared to Reign and the others the big, elite apes were simply not powerful enough.

Their movement was a bit sluggish when compared to theirs and they simply swung their arms around without a care in the world. This was where the difference in the experience came along, the apes had long since gotten used to fighting against weaker enemies and they didn\'t really know how to respond to those more powerful than them.

They were unable to land a single hit on any of the three in the end as not only were they weaker when it came to total stats, but their fighting experience and techniques were simply way too low. Without even needing to use any of their more powerful skills the three managed to decimate the apes in a minute.

After they had finished they turned around to help the others but there was simply no need to do so. The 30 or so apes were almost completely dead as the intense firepower of the rest of the group was simply impossible for them to withstand. Seeing that even the elite apes were powerless against Reign and the others made the apes that were hiding and following them nervous. Before they could do anything however they were attacked by Reign and Shadow whose speed made it almost impossible for the apes to get away.

After dealing with all of their enemies Reign and the others simply continued towards the giant tree after taking the valuable materials from the apes.
