Chapter 316 - Targeting to Kill the Ape King (1/2)
To let Bai Qingqing feel better, Curtis was generous to let Parker have her. Bai Qingqing said as she leaned against Parker’s warm chest, “Do you guys think that the ape king’s reputation will be able to compare against Winston after this?”
Parker gave it some thought before saying with affirmation, “To the beastmen who didn’t know anything, Winston will seem a lot more amazing. He was able to detect the flooding and drought earlier than the ape king did. He also gave an outstanding contribution to farming. Although the ape king managed to call for the clouds, he only gave everyone hope and there weren’t any direct benefits. On the other hand, Winston managed to lead everyone to call for rain. Furthermore, it was with all the beastmen’s participation. Not only did they get the rain they wanted, but the comradeship they shared from standing alongside each other would also let the beastmen be more partial toward Winston.”
Parker explained rationally.
Bai Qingqing tightened her small, pale fist, exerting so much force that her joints turned even paler. “Then there wouldn’t be any chaos if the ape king is killed now, right?”
Curtis threw a glance toward Bai Qingqing before standing up.
Bai Qingqing immediately understood his intentions and quickly said, “Take a rest for a day. Wait for Winston to go along.”
Curtis’s thin and pale lips curled into a confident and contemptuous smile. “There’s no need to go to the extent to kill him.”
Parker wanted to go as well but was ordered by Curtis to stay at home to protect Bai Qingqing. After Curtis went out, he also called Winston over to get him to protect her.
The ape king’s face was like that of a vicious ghost under a transparent crystal’s soft glow in the dark room. He put the transparent crystal into his mouth. As the light source was gone, the room instantly sank into pitch-black darkness.
Gradually, the light from the night sky spread to this place and the ape king’s face appeared once more. He touched his own face and his expression became twisted.
No, this was still not enough. He was just a little short!
When water flowed into the river, he knew that he was in danger. He decisively took out all of his transparent crystals, including the one he had gotten after combing through the tiger castle. He ate all of them but was still unable to break through the two-striped bottleneck.
He could sense that the energy level in his body was full, and he was just one step away. If he could get another beast king’s transparent crystals, he’d definitely be able to advance to become a three-striped beastman!
