Chapter 301 The Monkey Told a Story
Instead of seeing a group of mutated squirrels, they saw fluffy heads with big eyes and thunderous noses.
"It's a monkey!" Yufei was initially surprised, but then, looking at the fruit trees covering the hillside, she began to understand.
But...they're just too cute! Those fluffy little heads, those innocent big eyes looking at you...
These are a group of baby monkeys, but Yufei finds it a bit strange. According to the general rules for baby monkeys on Earth, baby monkeys usually cling tightly to their mothers.
This increases the baby monkey's chances of survival and also gives it a sense of security.
It's impossible to raise them so freely, and yet they've become so... arrogant.
Yufei spotted the group of mutated squirrels amidst a shower of stones; they were extremely arrogant.
Yufei wondered what gave these little monkeys their confidence, but this time she wouldn't flee like she had when facing the mutated squirrels before.
Instead, she faced it head-on. She had a feeling that she had to pass through this orchard to meet Xie Yiren and He Junlin.
She trusted her intuition.
"Xiao Hei, are you ready? Can you do it?" Yufei asked Xiao Hei, sounding a little unsure.
"Meow~"
(A man can't say no)
Xiao Hei looked at Yu Fei speechlessly. What made Yu Fei distrust it so much? It was really annoying for the cat!
As he spoke, Xiao Hei switched modes, transforming into human form. Holding Yu Fei in one arm and wielding a bone fan in the other, he charged towards the orchard.
"Squeak~ squeak... squeak!!"
Little Black ignored the group of monkeys and charged towards the orchard, not even bothering to avoid them, as some monkeys were blocking its path.
Little Black charged straight at the group of monkeys, sending them squealing and some even tumbling to the ground.
"Squeak! Squeak! Roar~ Squeak squeak squeak!" As several baby monkeys fell to the ground, a group of angry female monkeys howled and charged towards Little Black.
She looks like the mother of these little monkeys.
Xiao Hei showed no mercy to the adult female monkeys as it had to the baby monkeys.
The bone fan swung at them a few times, and the strong wind it generated tore their skin and flesh apart.
Seeing that she was no match for the creature before her, the mother monkey stopped her futile attempts to stop Little Black and his companion, and instead let out urgent howls.
As if calling out for something, the urgent cries of the group of female monkeys...
From deep within the orchard came howling cries, echoing the mother monkey, though those cries were more rugged.
Moreover, the sound was getting closer and closer, and as it drew nearer, Yufei could feel the ground trembling.
Yufei looked up and saw a group of monkeys, about 5.6 meters tall, with incredibly strong biceps and pectoral muscles, swinging from tree branches toward Xiao Hei and his companion.
They formed a tight encirclement around Xiao Hei and Yu Fei, with multiple layers surrounding Xiao Hei completely.
Among a group of female monkeys, there was one that Yufei found rather pretty.
She approached the most robust male monkey in the group, looking rather weak and delicate.
It was as if she was crying and confiding in him, pointing at Xiao Hei as she spoke.
As the mother monkey became more and more agitated, the monkey's red face grew increasingly dark.
Xiao Hei's face grew increasingly dark.
"Little Black, why do I feel like that female monkey is looking down on us in front of that male monkey?"
Although Yufei couldn't understand what they were saying, judging from their body language and expressions, it didn't seem like anything good.
"Meow~"
(Isn't this obvious? -_-)
"Aww~ Aww!" The mother monkey complained for almost a minute. It seemed she had finally finished complaining.
It was obvious that the male monkey was quite angry. After the female monkey finished complaining, the male monkey gave a command, and all the other male monkeys sprang into action.
"He Junlin, do you think we'll end up growing old alone in this godforsaken place?"
While Xiao Hei, Yu Fei, and the group of monkeys were fighting, Xie Yiren was picking at the peanuts in her hand.
He spoke with concern while eating.
"I don't know, but we're definitely not going to get out anytime soon. You know how many times we've tried."
Unless our martial arts improve, or my Shurus awakens from his slumber.”
He Junlin rubbed his hair in frustration; the two of them had tried to break out of the monkey's lair more than once.
Each attempt ended in failure, and not only that, each breakout left him back in the spirit plant space covered in wounds, requiring a period of recuperation before he could fight again.
After several such encounters, his confidence was nearly shattered by these monkeys, and his summoned beast, Shurus, had remained unconscious ever since.
Although he received feedback from Shurus's consciousness that it was alright and that it had been repairing its domain.
But it's unclear when she'll wake up. Xie Yiren's Meifuyi, on the other hand, has woken up from her previous energy depletion, but her spatial teleportation cooldown is still running.
There's no way to take him with me.
They went back and forth again, and now Xie Yi felt like she was going to get moldy and grow weeds here.
But there was nothing they could do, nothing they could do.
"Sigh~ I wonder how Yufei is doing. I wonder if she was also teleported to this forest. She's just a young girl. I wonder if she can survive in this forest. Did she think of this spirit plant space when she was in danger?"
Considering their situation, He Junlin couldn't help but think of Yufei. Back on Earth, the highest order the authorities gave them was to protect Yufei.
But now they were trapped here and unable to move an inch, and they couldn't help but worry about Yufei, which made He Junlin increasingly anxious.
"Pah, pah, pah! Think of something positive! I believe Yufei is a lucky person, and I trust my straightforwardness as a woman. Whatever problems arise between us, she won't cause any trouble."
Through their time together, Xie Yiren felt that Yufei had many secrets and other means of self-protection.
Therefore, after they got separated, Xie Yiren wasn't worried that Yufei would encounter danger here.
"Huh?! Something seems to be happening outside; all the monkeys around us have left."
Xie Yiren originally wanted to discuss Yufei's matter with He Junlin, but then she discovered that something was going on outside, and that the situation was in their favor.
There was no time to discuss anything else, and she said to He Junlin with surprise...
"Okay! Let's go out!"
He Junlin naturally noticed what Xie Yiren had discovered, and couldn't wait to leave the spirit plant space after Xie Yiren finished speaking.
"Hey! Where are you going?"
"Let's go take a look."
Once outside the space, Xie Yiren noticed that He Junlin wasn't running away, but instead heading in the direction the monkey had gone.
Xie Yiren, puzzled, tugged at He Junlin's arm and asked, "What happened?" He Junlin replied matter-of-factly, "Of course, we should go to where the monkey left and see what happened."
"Are you crazy?! We finally got these monkeys to leave, why aren't we leaving instead of going to watch the fun?!" Xie Yiren looked at He Junlin with a "you're insane" expression.
This person shouldn't be the type to be so reckless. What's wrong with them today?
