Chapter 1201 Corpse Ape

Shangguan Mo was delighted. He squatted down, gently stroked the Molten Crystal Ape's head, and praised it, "Well done!" The Molten Crystal Ape let out a low hum, as if in response to his praise. At this moment, the system screen flashed again, announcing, "Hidden chakra fluctuations detected nearby, potential danger." Shangguan Mo stood up cautiously, his eyes scanning the surroundings. Suddenly, the ground cracked, and several earth spikes shot out from all directions, piercing Shangguan Mo and the Molten Crystal Ape. "Melted Crystal Shield!" Shangguan Mo quickly ordered. The Molten Crystal Ape crossed its arms, and the core of its chest glowed brightly. An orange-red Molten Crystal Shield instantly formed, blocking all the earth spikes. Then, a stream of magma erupted from the stone ape's mouth, shooting towards the source of the earth spikes. Seeing his attack blocked, the ninja hiding in the shadows emerged, revealing himself to be a formidable jonin. He sneered, formed hand seals, and summoned a group of rock beasts, which pounced on Shangguan Mo. Shangguan Mo's eyes were determined as he addressed the Molten Crystal Ape, "Go! Show them our might!" With a furious roar, the Molten Crystal Ape charged once more, a new battle beginning. The Molten Crystal Ape charged into the herd of rock beasts, its immense strength crushing them with every punch. However, the rock beasts were too numerous to count, constantly swarming from all sides, gradually surrounding the Molten Crystal Ape. The jonin stood aside, a mocking smile playing at the corner of his mouth, as if he were certain of victory.

Seeing this, Shangguan Mo quickly formed hand seals and unleashed a ninjutsu. A massive wall of fire instantly appeared among the rock beasts, the scorching flames engulfing them with crackling sounds. Seizing this opportunity, the Molten Stone Ape broke through the encirclement and charged towards the jonin. The jonin's expression changed, and he hurriedly formed hand seals again, summoning a massive rock shield.

The molten crystal ape crashed into the shield, making a dull sound. But it did not retreat, but hugged the shield tightly with both arms, and pulled hard, actually tore the shield into two pieces. The jonin was horrified and turned around to escape. How could Shangguan Mo let him succeed? He flashed behind the jonin, condensed a chakra dagger in his hand, and stabbed the jonin's back fiercely. The jonin groaned and fell to the ground. The battle ended with their victory. Just when Shangguan Mo thought the battle was over, the system light screen flashed again: "A large amount of chakra fluctuations are detected approaching quickly." Shangguan Mo's face changed, and he saw dust flying in the distance, and a group of ninjas were rushing towards them. Among them, a tall ninja was particularly conspicuous. He exuded a powerful chakra aura, and he was obviously a tricky person at first glance.

"Looks like we're in big trouble." Shangguan Mo tightened his grip on the dagger, his gaze fixed firmly on the approaching ninjas. The Molten Crystal Ape also roared, ready to fight again.

The tall ninja came closer and said coldly: "You killed my companions, don't even think about leaving alive today." As he spoke, he formed seals with his hands, and the ground around him began to shake violently. Huge rocks rose from the ground and smashed towards Shangguan Mo and the Molten Crystal Stone Ape.

Shangguan Mo acted decisively, unleashing his fire-style ninjutsu once again. Flames collided with rock, stirring up a cloud of dust. As the smoke and dust thickened, he and the Molten Crystal Ape quickly adjusted their tactics, preparing for a new challenge. Whether they could once again overcome the dangers of this perilous battlefield remained uncertain.
