Chapter 7: The Fiancee in the Mountains
Another roar was heard, and Ding Huan's face changed. He was sure that it was the roar of a ferocious ape.

There were no apes in Qianluo Mountain before, but after the earth's environment changed, two kinds of ferocious apes appeared in Qianluo Mountain, one is the giant ape, and the other is the brown ape.

Both Gigantopithecus and Brown Ape are extinct species, and Gigantopithecus is an ancient beast.

Even without mutation, these two apes are still very ferocious. After genetic mutation, these two apes became genetic beasts, and they can easily crush humans.

From the sound, Ding Huan guessed that it was most likely a giant ape, coming towards him.

At this moment, Ding Huan didn't dare to hesitate at all. He chose a direction and escaped quickly. He just hoped that the giant ape was not coming for him.

Logically speaking, the giant ape should not be coming for him. Apart from collecting some plants in Qianluo Mountain, he did not do anything to anger the giant ape.

Although Ding Huan was agile, the gap between his speed and that of the giant ape was too great. In just a few minutes, he saw the giant ape chasing him from behind.

Ding Huan didn't understand why the giant ape was chasing him. He didn't do anything to offend the giant ape.

Just when Ding Huan was getting extremely anxious, he saw a cave on the top of the side stone wall.

This cave was on the cliff, five meters above the ground. Ding Huan rushed over frantically, using his feet to gain strength from the cliff, and he actually hooked the entrance of the cave with his hands at once, then quickly turned over and rolled into the cave.

Boom boom boom! There was another loud noise outside. Apparently the giant ape was going crazy outside the cave. Fortunately, the entrance to the cave was not big. Although the giant ape could rush to the entrance, it could not use its strength to get in.

Ding Huan entered the cave and saw clearly that there were actually four people hiding in the cave, two women and two men. A tall and thin man was staring at him with a bad look in his eyes.

Ding Huan felt puzzled. This place could barely be considered deep in Qianluo Mountain, and almost no one came in. How come four of them came here at once?
"Get out! You've attracted a ferocious ape. You can deal with it yourself." Seeing that Ding Huan didn't say anything, the tall and thin man said bluntly.

"Joey, that ferocious ape is very scary. Going out will lead to death. There is a lot of space in here, so everyone just needs to hide. The ape will leave sooner or later. It can't stay outside forever." said a woman in blue who was sitting inside.

Ding Huan smelled a refreshing medicinal fragrance. His eyes fell on the backpack of another woman. The medicinal fragrance came from her backpack.

"You stole the giant ape's elixir?" Ding Huan suddenly understood.

He was a little apologetic at first, and he ignored the guy who called Joey to drink at him. Now he realized that the culprit was not him, but the guys in front of him.

The only thing he did wrong was that he chose the wrong direction when escaping.

"Be careful with your words, kid. What do you mean we stole the giant ape's elixir? This is what we dug up." The man who spoke was only about 1.6 meters tall, with a tough face and it was obvious that he was not a good person.

Ding Huan chuckled and said calmly, "If everyone wants to survive, send this herb out. Otherwise, no one here can survive."

"What do you mean?" Joey's tone was even more unfriendly, as if he was going to teach Ding Huan a lesson if they disagreed with him.

Ding Huan said calmly, "The elixir guarded by the giant ape is its lifeblood. Now it must have smelled the scent of its own medicinal materials. If you don't send the elixir out, the giant ape will block you at the entrance of the cave until it dies and won't leave."

Having said that, Ding Huan also secretly felt unlucky. If he fled in another direction, the giant ape would definitely not chase him.

“It’s not that serious, right?” said the woman with the herbs in her bag, frowning slightly as she spoke. It was obvious that she was reluctant to give away the herbs.

Although there was not enough light in the cave, Ding Huan could still see that the woman was very beautiful.

The proportions of her facial features are very well matched, and her figure is just right. If it weren't for her somewhat arrogant look, any man would be attracted to her.

"Qin Yi, why are you listening to this kid's nonsense. No matter how huge the ape is, it's just a beast. How much patience and brains can it have?" Joey glanced at Ding Huan unhappily, then turned and spoke softly to the woman.

"Yiyi, this may be true. Animals are sometimes more obsessed with their treasures than humans." The woman in blue spoke up for Ding Huan.

After she finished speaking, she turned to Ding Huan and asked, "Are you from Luohe? Are you here looking for medicinal herbs?"

Ding Huan had a good impression of the woman in blue. He nodded and said, "Yes, I'm from Luohe City. The prices of all kinds of wild medicinal herbs are very high now, so I wanted to try my luck in Qianluo Mountain. What about you?"

He also wanted to know where these guys came from, especially the one named Joey, who was as proud as a rooster.

"Kid, don't ask about our affairs." The short man with a fierce look stared at Ding Huan and said in a fierce tone.

Ding Huan was too lazy to pay attention to him, but his eyes turned to the giant ape that was frantically banging against the stone wall outside.

Before, Ding Huan had always thought that this must be the extinct Chinese giant ape. Now when he saw the appearance of this giant ape clearly, he was horrified.

Isn't this a giant ape? Why does it look like a giant golden ape?

Even if the environment on Earth suddenly changed, causing some creatures to revert to their ancestral form or even mutate, there shouldn't be a Great Wilderness Golden Ape? Has this species ever existed on Earth?

He had learned about the Great Wilderness Golden Ape when he was wandering in the universe. This ape was an alien species that existed almost only in legends. This ape was golden all over, as if it was covered with a golden blanket.

This is just the surface. The reason why the Great Wilderness Golden Ape is called one of the ten divine species is because this ape has two terrifying abilities.

The first is that it is extremely powerful, and the second is that it has a vertical eye that can see through illusions. Ding Huan stared at the giant ape that was still hitting the cliff. There seemed to be a black line on the forehead of the giant ape, which was the location where the third eye of the Great Wilderness Golden Ape appeared.

The great golden ape in front of him has not yet developed a third eye, which means it is still a young ape.

Ding Huan took a deep breath. When he became stronger in the future, he would definitely get the power gene and the gene for exploring nothingness from the Great Wilderness Golden Ape.

The probability of encountering the Great Wilderness Golden Ape is not much greater than the probability of finding a grain of dust in the universe.

Even if others got the genes of the Great Wilderness Golden Ape, they would not be able to research and develop genetic medicine that could be integrated into the human body, but he could.

"Bai Chuanqiang, don't be so fierce all the time. Now is the time for us to work together, we must unite."

The woman in blue said something to the short man, then looked at Ding Huan and said, "My name is Liu Aimee. We are all from Yanjing and are traveling here."

Ding Huan felt that these people didn't seem to be here for tourism, but it had nothing to do with him.

Except for Liu Aimee, who he could still chat with, Ding Huan disliked the other three, so he simply walked aside and sat on a rock.

The woman named Qin Yi was unwilling to send the giant ape's medicinal materials out, so the Great Wilderness Golden Ape outside would not leave. It was unknown how long it would take. Since it was all going to take time, why waste more time talking about it?

No, the herbs in Qin Yi's bag are most likely the elixir that the Great Wilderness Golden Ape used to condense the Eye of Illusion. Thinking of this, Ding Huan's eyes subconsciously fell on Qin Yi's bag.

Now that the Great Wilderness Golden Ape has lost this magical medicine, there must be other ways to condense the Eye of Illusion.

But even if he got the blood of the Great Wilderness Golden Ape and developed the genetic medicine that could help the Great Wilderness Golden Ape see through illusions, without this elixir, the effect might be limited.

Then Ding Huan shook his head secretly. It was a pipe dream for him to get this medicinal herb now.

Ding Huan was thinking about this, and the first day passed with the sound of the Great Wilderness Golden Ape blasting the cave entrance. At night, it became quiet outside.

Ding Huan was sure that the golden ape was blocking the way outside, so he closed his eyes to rest and circulated his meridians. Although it couldn't improve anything, it would be good to promote blood circulation.

"The giant ape should have left, right? There has been no movement for a long time." Bai Chuanqiang felt a little hungry and couldn't help but say something.

"It definitely hasn't left. Not to mention that its treasure is with us, even if its treasure is not here, this giant ape is extremely vengeful. If we offend it, it will not give up just like that." Liu Aime replied.

Qin Yi said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I have caused trouble for everyone. If I hadn't come to Qianluo Mountain in Luohe City, everyone wouldn't be trapped in this place. Otherwise, I will return the herbs to the giant ape."

Joey said, "Even if we return the herbs to the giant ape now, I'm afraid we can't let it leave."

"Yiyi, we are all friends, so it would be polite to say that I'm implicating you. But I really don't know why you insisted on choosing Qianluo Mountain in Luohe City. In fact, there are many kinds of rare and mutated medicinal herbs in the Yanshan Mountains close to Yanjing." Liu Aimei said.

Qin Yi was silent for a while before she said, "I came here to see what my father told me my fiancé looks like. After I arrived in Luohe City, I learned that Ding Baishan, the founder of Baiyu Group, had disappeared a long time ago.

Ding Xiaotu, the heir of Baiyu Group and the son of Ding Baishan, was also kicked out of Baiyu Group. Today, Baiyu Group is Ding Jie's company, so I came here for nothing."

"Could the fiancé your father told you about be the Ding Xiaotu who was kicked out of Baiyu Group?" Liu Aimei asked in surprise.

Qin Yi smiled self-deprecatingly, "You're right, it's actually him. I can't say he's my fiancé, but my father allowed me to choose for myself, and this can only happen if I'm satisfied, so I came to take a look."

Ding Huan looked at Qin Yi again. This woman was indeed beautiful.

Luo Xinwei is much worse than her. Thinking about how she had licked Luo Xinwei for many years in her previous life, Ding Huan just shook her head. She is at that age where she doesn't know anything.

Ding Huan also understood what Qin Yi meant. Since he, Ding Huan, was not the heir of Baiyu Group, he was not qualified to be favored by Qin Yi, and she would not agree.

"Small places like Luohe..."

Bai Chuanqiang felt that what he said seemed a little wrong. Luohe was not a small place, so he simply said, "You can completely reject your father's proposal."

No one responded to Bai Chuanqiang's words. This was obviously not just a matter between two people, but definitely involved Qin Yi's family's industry and Baiyu Group's affairs.

"I heard that Ding Baishan has been missing for half a year. Uncle should have known about it before, right?" Liu Aime asked in confusion.

Qin Yi shook her head. "No, Uncle Ding came to my house half a year ago. He saw me..."

Qin Yi did not continue to speak, but Ding Huan, who was not far away, had some vague thoughts in his mind. Ding Baishan's visit to the Qin family in Yanjing was probably related to him.

Ding Baishan went to Yanjing to meet Qin Yi's father and even discussed his own affairs, otherwise Qin Yi would not have come to Luohe City.

Since Ding Baishan disappeared after going to the Qin family, it is very likely that Ding Baishan’s disappearance is related to the Qin family, but Qin Yi just doesn’t know it.
