Socially anxious me transmigrated to a world of cultivation.

In a swamp in the Chaotic Forest, a huge ape-like monster lies dormant on the only piece of land in the center of the swamp.

Suddenly, several figures slowly landed on the edge of the swamp, one of them frowning.

"Wait here for Fan Ping."

Upon hearing his words, the other five did not refute him, but instead cautiously looked around.

After a long while, Pingfan arrived at the swamp and saw Zhang Shan and the others standing at the edge. He quickly ran over to them.

When Zhang Shan saw Pingfan arrive, he frowned slightly in displeasure, but said nothing.

After all, ordinary people rely on their legs to run, while they only need to use spiritual power to increase their speed.

And most importantly, we will need Pingfan, the body cultivator, later.

Zhang Shan looked at Pingfan and, seeing that he wasn't panting, pointed to the monster lying in the center of the swamp and slowly said.

"See that monster? You keep it occupied while we attack from the sidelines."

Pingfan looked at the monster he was pointing at and saw a monkey that looked like a small mountain lying on the ground.

Immediately, Pingfan was in a dilemma, looked at Zhang Shan, and said timidly.

"Young Master, I am only at the tenth level of Body Tempering; I'm afraid I cannot hold off this demonic beast."

Hearing Pingfan's timid words, Zhang Shan's face turned cold, and he said coldly.

"What are you afraid of? This monster's attacks aren't very strong. You just need to prevent it from attacking us."

Upon hearing this, Pingfan looked at the swamp again and said slowly.

"But this is a swamp. I'm just a body cultivator and can't fly, so I can't use my skills here."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shan waved his hand and said.

"Don't worry, I'll have someone freeze this swamp later."

Hearing Zhang Shan say this, Pingfan could only agree, but felt a little regretful.

I should have known better than to come along. I never imagined that Zhang Shan's recruitment of him had this hidden meaning.

Originally, Pingfan planned to join them and then use the monsters to eliminate them while they were fighting.

Unexpectedly, in the end, Pingfan became the tank, and they stood behind to deal damage.

After seeing that Pingfan agreed, Zhang Shan gave instructions to one of the five people.

"Just cast a spell to freeze the swamp, and don't worry about anything else."

After saying that, Zhang Shan looked at the other four people and said...

"The four of you will attack this monster together, using your most powerful moves."

After seeing that no one had any objections, Zhang Shan looked at the monkey lying in the center of the swamp and shouted.

"Do it!"

The next moment, the person who was instructed to cast a spell to freeze the swamp immediately activated their spiritual power and then slapped their hands onto the swamp.

In an instant, the entire swamp was covered with a thick layer of ice crystals.

When Pingfan saw this, he was slightly surprised, not expecting that this person was someone who cultivated ice-attribute techniques.

Seeing that the swamp was frozen, Zhang Shan looked at Pingfan and gestured for him to take action.

Although Pingfan was somewhat unwilling, he had no choice but to bow his head and grit his teeth and go for it.

A moment later, Pingfan stepped on the ice crystals and attacked the ape.

The monkey, which was lying on the ground asleep, sat up with a start when it felt a slight chill.

"roar~"

Upon seeing Pingfan charging towards him, he roared angrily, stood up, and slapped at the oncoming Pingfan.

As Pingfan gazed at the ape that stood up, a full five meters tall, his heart couldn't help but pound wildly.

After dodging the giant palm that came crashing down, Pingfan punched the ape in the calf.

"Bang~"

After a loud bang, a tingling sensation ran through Pingfan's fist, as if he had punched steel.

This seemingly ordinary action completely enraged the ape, which wildly swung its fists and began to punch Pingfan repeatedly.

Upon seeing the monkey's fist coming at him, Pingfan hurriedly dodged.

After dodging the incoming punches one after another, Pingfan realized that the ape didn't seem to be very fast.

As long as you remain ordinary and avoid mistakes, you can completely evade its attacks.

However, the physical defense of apes seems to be somewhat defying nature.

No matter how much force you use with an ordinary punch, it feels like you can't break through its defense.

After Pingfan's fist struck the ape's calf once more, Zhang Shan and the others finally launched their attack on the ape.

A dense barrage of spells rained down upon them.

Upon seeing this, Pingfan quickly distanced himself from the ape to avoid being attacked by magic.

The ape sensed the fluctuations in spiritual energy, looked up, and saw a dense array of spells attacking from all directions.

"roar~"

With a roar, he swung his fists and relentlessly bombarded the incoming spells.

"Bang~bang~bang~"

The ape's swinging fists shattered most of the spells, leaving only a small portion to bombard its body.

However, the ape was not harmed, but it was enraged. It abandoned its ordinary ways and attacked Zhang Shan and the others who had launched the spell.

Zhang Shan, who was not far away, shouted loudly when he saw the attacking monkeys.

"Fan Ping, stop him!"

Hearing Zhang Shan's shout, Pingfan could only block the monkey's path.

With his ordinary and insignificant body, the ape didn't take him seriously at all and kicked him away.

"Pfft~"

After being thrown back several meters, Pingfan managed to regain his balance and then spat out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing Pingfan being kicked away, Zhang Shan quickly ordered Yu E and the others to hold off the attacking monkeys.

After all, Zhang Shan was only in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and his body was not as strong as ordinary people. He could only rely on Yu E, who was in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, to resist the ape's attack.

"Bang~"

After Yu E and the others were knocked away by the ape, Zhang Shan looked at Ping Fan, who was still standing there, and coldly shouted.

"It's not dead yet, hurry up and get close to it."

Pingfan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and hurriedly ran towards the ape.

But as Pingfan ran with his head down, a faint, cold smile flickered across his lips.

Zhang Shan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Pingfan run towards the ape, and then looked at Yu E and the others who had been knocked away.

Upon seeing that Yu E and the others had only suffered minor injuries, he shouted sternly.

"Don't dawdle, attack the monster quickly!"

Just as Yu E and the others regained their footing, they heard Zhang Shan's shout. Without the slightest hesitation, they quickly flew to a suitable position and launched an attack on the ape.

At that moment, Pingfan entangled the ape again, repeatedly punching its calves.

This wasn't because he intentionally attacked the ape's calves; rather, given his height, he could only reach the ape's calves.

While the monkey was being held captive, Zhang Shan and the others continuously used magic to bombard it.

However, this time, Zhang Shan and the others dared not use those densely packed spells again.

Otherwise, if Pingfan runs away, these people will be in trouble again.

While dodging the monkeys' attacks, Pingfan was secretly plotting something.

"He was kicked away by the ape, but he doesn't seem to have been seriously injured."

"Since that's the case, then when we reveal an opening, we'll let the ape kick us away."

Thinking of this, Pingfan secretly observed the positions of the people behind him. When he saw that Zhang Shan was very close to him, a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"Bang~"

The next moment, Pingfan was kicked away by the ape and crashed heavily onto the ground more than ten meters away.

Then, upon seeing Zhang Shan in front of him, the ape immediately swung its fist and blasted it towards him.

"Bang~"
