Starting as a Snake: Defying Heaven with Invincibility-Chapter 55 – Ancient Giant Ape Tribe
"Thank you, boss," Huang Mao said as he took the pill and swallowed it without hesitation.
The Blood Spirit Pill instantly transformed into pure medicinal power, flooding into every part of Huang Mao's body. His dislocated bones realigned themselves, and his previously broken body began to heal at an astonishing speed.
A flush of red appeared on Huang Mao's face. He could feel that not only was his body being repaired, but even the energy and blood lost during his berserk state were being replenished. As his energy reached its peak, it continued to grow, becoming even more vigorous than before.
"What a powerful pill. This must be a fourth-grade pill," Huang Mao thought with delight, wasting no time in refining the medicinal power.
He had a premonition that once he fully refined this Blood Spirit Pill, his berserk ability would reach a new level.
In Xiao Long's spiritual sense, he suddenly noticed a fluffy white shadow darting back. He chuckled softly, realizing that Xiao Bai had been lurking nearby all along. Even without showing himself, Huang Mao wouldn't have been in danger.
On the other side, the battle quickly reached a conclusion. The Vajra Ape had been smashed into a pulp by Da Hei, barely clinging to life, while Er Hei had simply swallowed the long-haired giant ape whole, his snake body swelling into an oval shape.
As for the weakest Vajra Ape, it was already trembling in fear, its legs shaking as if it had seen a ghost.
"Ah!" The Vajra Ape let out a strange cry and bolted, wishing it had more legs to run with.
"Leaving now? Don't you think it's a bit late?"
Whoosh!
Xiao Long transformed into a black shadow and shot past.
"Innate skill! Devour!"
The Vajra Ape vanished instantly.
"You have killed a level 11 wild creature, gaining 1500 experience!"

"You have devoured a level 11 wild creature, gaining 1500 experience!"
With a ready-made test subject, Xiao Long tried out the "Devour" skill and found it effective. Once the Vajra Ape entered his Inner World, it immediately dissolved into a pool of blood.
Just as described, devouring also grants experience.
"What happened here?" Xiao Long asked.
This place was on the outskirts of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, where even high-level demon beasts were rare, let alone a Demon General.
Yet suddenly, four Demon Generals appeared, including a tenth-level one. This was beyond bizarre.
"Boss," Da Hei transmitted, recounting the previous events from start to finish.
"I see," Xiao Long nodded.
So they were coveting his cave. How reckless.
However, Huang Mao's decision to let the Vajra Ape go was puzzling.
Xiao Long didn't believe in compassion among the same species. Even humans, who claim to be the most emotional creatures, kill their own kind, even family. Huang Mao must have had another reason.
By now, Huang Mao had finished refining the Blood Spirit Pill, his injuries fully healed. He roared and pounded his chest, his aura soaring to the sky. It seemed this severe injury had greatly benefited him.
"Boss, I have something to tell you."
Huang Mao looked at Xiao Long, suddenly serious.
"Go ahead," Xiao Long said calmly.
"Actually..." Huang Mao hesitated, finding it hard to speak. "I was cast out by my tribe."
"When I was born, I had strange memories in my mind. Through them, I learned to go berserk. Whenever I did, my tribe feared me. They called me a bastard, even the king of my tribe."
At the mention of "bastard," Huang Mao's expression changed, clearly feeling ashamed.
Xiao Long merely sneered, "Bastard? Huang Mao, you might not know this, but your bloodline is likely the last of the ancient giant ape tribe. Those fools only noticed your uniqueness but didn't realize you're a higher race than they are."
"Boss, I'm... from the ancient giant ape tribe?" Huang Mao was shocked. The term "ancient giant ape tribe" had only appeared in his fragmented, vague inherited memories from ancient times.
The ancient giant ape tribe was a divine beast race above many demon tribes. He was actually a descendant of the ancient giant ape tribe?

"Hmph! The 'Battle Saint Physique' I taught you is the ancient giant ape tribe's technique. Of course, I know you're from the ancient giant ape tribe," Xiao Long said with a cold smile.
Huang Mao suddenly realized why he mastered the Battle Saint Physique so quickly—it was tailored for his tribe.
"In terms of blood purity, they're the bastards. They should be ashamed, not you. As for driving you out, they just feared you'd grow strong and suppress them with your bloodline, seizing power."
Xiao Long saw through the lowly demon beasts' mentality.
Since birth, everyone in Huang Mao's tribe called him that, looked down on him. After such brainwashing, Huang Mao naturally felt inferior, even accepting his exile without complaint. Even now, he carried psychological scars.
But today, with Xiao Long's words, Huang Mao suddenly felt enlightened, as if a shackle in his heart had been unlocked.
"Just wait, you scum. I'll reclaim what I lost!" Knowing the truth, Huang Mao felt a surge of hot blood coursing through him.
Seeing this, Xiao Long pondered for a moment and had a brilliant idea. If he could use Huang Mao to take over the entire ape tribe and consolidate it into a powerful demon beast force, wouldn't that be wonderful?
Xiao Long had always fought against human sects alone since arriving in the Tianfeng Kingdom, with few allies. The ape tribe could casually dispatch a tenth-level Demon General, a force likely rivaling a one-star sect. Capturing it would bring unimaginable benefits.
"Boss, I have a request."
As Xiao Long was thinking, Huang Mao spoke earnestly, "I want to return to the ape tribe and reclaim what I lost. So, I need your help!"
Xiao Long replied calmly, "Even if you hadn't asked, I would have gone there. How can they run wild in my territory without paying a price?"
"Boss!" Huang Mao interrupted Xiao Long, saying solemnly, "I want to personally kill my tribe's king once I'm strong enough. I beg for your guidance!"
Xiao Long looked at Huang Mao in surprise. He hadn't expected Huang Mao to make such a request.
With only a fraction of his soul power restored, plus Xiao Bai, he could already storm the ape tribe for revenge. A mere Demon King tribe could be wiped out with a flick of his wrist. Yet Huang Mao wanted to wait until he was strong enough to act himself!
This determination was commendable.
After a moment of surprise, Xiao Long nodded, "Alright, but you must know, my training methods aren't something ordinary demon beasts can endure."
"Haha! Boss, you underestimate me. I'm a descendant of an ancient divine beast race. Why would I fear any training?" Huang Mao laughed heartily.
