Chapter Ninety-Six: Playing with the Nest Monkey
There was a dense squeezing sound ahead. There were a lot of monsters moving towards Jiang Li and the others at high speed, and they should be from the trees. The sound grew louder and louder, and the squeaks that mingled were clearly audible.
A huge black horse monkey appeared in front of everyone, and as it stopped on the branches, the horse monkeys behind also stopped, forming a half-moon-shaped encirclement around Jiang Li and the others.

You don't have to fight to know the result, and it is impossible for your team to withstand this group of monkeys. And it's clear that this Captain Monkey has an above-average level of intelligence. It is directing its own little brother to perfect the encirclement.
The people in the squad began to waver, they were all secretly blaming themselves, and they didn't know the mission carefully, and it seemed that they were going back to the city for free today for money.
"Don't lie, there's hope." Jiang Li signaled everyone to calm down in the team channel, and then walked to the front of the team.
"How about we take a gamble?"
All the people opened their eyes and looked at Jiang Li who came out of the crowd, this dark blade has a mental problem, gambling with monkeys, I have never heard of such a thing.
To everyone's surprise, the monkey leader suddenly quieted down, and all the monkeys around him quieted down. Qi Qi looked at their leader, his eyes full of longing.
Jiang Li also noticed the expressions of the monkeys around him, such a smart animal, he could even understand what he said.
The monkey leader jumped in front of Jiang Li from the tree, sat firmly on the ground, and his contemptuous expression was overflowing, as if he was laughing at Jiang Li for not being able to measure himself.
"Let's guess odds and evens." Jiang Li took out a bag of chestnut fruit from his backpack, which is a snack developed by Hope Hotel, which is almost the same as the sugar-fried chestnuts in the real world.
He handed the chestnut to the monkey leader and motioned for it to check the authenticity, and the monkey leader crushed the two chestnuts, and found that they were no different from the chestnuts he had eaten before, only sweeter.
Jiang Li dug a pit in the hard stone on the ground, and the mouth of the pit was tight enough for the monkey leader to clench his fists. He put a few handfuls of chestnuts into the pit.
"Let's see if you can catch it." Jiang Li turned to the monkey leader and said.
The monkey leader reached in and grabbed a handful, but because of the large number of grabbings, his hand was stuck in the hole and could not be taken out.
"You take it lightly, take it out and give it to you, don't worry. If you break it, you lose. ”
The monkey leader dropped the chestnut in his hand and grabbed some less, and when his hand was about to leave the hole, he found that he could take out more, so he went back and took a few more, and tried back and forth several times before he stood up and spread out his palm.
Jiang Li pretended to shake his head helplessly, and added some chestnuts to the pit.
"Okay, you catch, I'll guess. What are we betting on? ”
The monkey leader scratched his head, and then pointed at the people behind Jiang Li and grinned, the meaning was very clear, and he gambled on the lives of these people.
"That's not good, if I lose, you're going to kill us, if I win, you just let us go, you don't have to pay at all, what's the point of gambling? You've got to have something with you, we're gambling with our lives. ”
The monkey leader nodded, and asked his men to send a baggage, and opened it, and there were a lot of things inside.
These could be things that monkeys have robbed or won. Jiang Li found that there was a book in it, but since it was just a bet, he couldn't see the specific content of the book.
"That's it, it's just a gamble, I really don't care about the bet." Jiang Li put on a look of not looking down on the other party's bets.
The monkey leader was very dissatisfied with Jiang Li's words, but it was also very stingy and did not increase the stakes.
"Okay, let's start, you catch."
The monkey leader reached out and grabbed a handful from the pit, tried to take out his fist from the pit, and held his fist holding the chestnut with his other hand, signaling Jiang Lichai.
"Double!" Jiang Li shouted loudly, in fact, he already knew that the number of chestnuts in the monkey's hand should be 12.
The monkey is greedy by nature, and it just thinks that I should take as many chestnuts as I can out of the pit, and it doesn't think that because then the number of chestnuts in my hand will be fixed.
Sure enough, there were 12 chestnuts in the monkey's hands. The monkey leader angrily threw the chestnuts in his hand on the ground, but he immediately regretted picking them up again, after all, he had already eaten them, and these chestnuts were still very sweet.
Four times in a row, the monkey caught 12 chestnuts. Losing four times in a row made him very chagrined.
He grabbed the burden and threw it to the monkey behind him, then squeaked at Jiang Li a few times and pointed to the sky.
"You want to go back? Come back to me tomorrow? Alright then, you come back tomorrow. If you find me tomorrow, we'll gamble on something else. ”
Jiang Li didn't know if the monkey leader said that he would come to him tomorrow, but seeing the monkey leader leave with a group of monkeys, his heart relaxed. Escaped.
"You're smart." Lei Rang walked up to Jiang Li and nodded with satisfaction.
Jiang Li took all the things he won in front of Lei Rang, after all, the mercenary contract was very clear, everything he got along the way belonged to Lei Rang, and even the things he collected in the fight had to be what Lei Rang didn't need to put away by himself.
"If you win, keep it for yourself." As the prince of Fajar, Lei Jean is still very generous.
The deeper they went, the slower the speed at which everyone marched, and even Jiang Li could not get to the front of the team to participate in the reconnaissance activities. The only person in the team who didn't have a mission was the Blue Note.
The first day was quiet, and the mercenary team didn't have any trouble other than the monkeys in the brigade.
The forest in the early morning was very cold, and although he was in the tent, Jiang Li was still awakened by the cold. He stepped out of the tent and saw Howl, the vigil, and a priest chatting to pass the time.
"I'm awake, none of you have rested enough, and then go to sleep, we'll have two more hours before we leave."
"Thank you Darkblade Boss for that, I still have something I want to do, I'm sorry for you." The priest was not polite, and turned and walked back to his tent.
"Brother Darkblade must have taken on this mission for some other reason, right?" Howling asked Jiang Li with a smile.
As the boss of the family of gods, it is impossible for Darkblade to run for days for a dozen gold coins, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that there must be another reason.
"Hehe, I'm just guessing, I haven't verified it yet." Jiang Li was very curious about this warrior, in the battle ahead, Jiang Li found that the roaring technique was very outstanding, and the skills were also very comprehensive, and he had learned the free skills of the warrior such as drawing the knife and slashing.
"Don't talk about me, you're not the one who lacks these dozen gold coins." A skill book like Drawing a Sword and Slashing costs thousands of gold coins for a single book.
"I've been in the Elven Forest for some days, and I'm looking for an NPC named Themis, but this quest has no beginning or end, and only a rough location is given, whether Themis is male or female, I don't know. In the area given by the mission, this fat chef's shop is the most special, and I have been keeping an eye on him. ”
"Who is the man looking for Themis?" Themis had a close relationship with Rejan, and he had to ask.
"It's a very special group of elves, and the priests who gave me the task called themselves the Dark Moon Elves, probably a branch of the elves." The elves are a large race, and there are many side tribes.
"Hehe, the person you are looking for is still in the city, it's a woman." Jiang Li said mysteriously.
"Female? The owner of the hotel? Howling reacted instantly, there was not only one strange chef in that small shop, but the boss was also very strange, such a beautiful woman really shouldn't be arranged in a small restaurant.
Jiang Li was noncommittal, "I see that brother, you are good, why are you still alone?" ”
"I'm looking for someone, a brother in reality, I can't contact him, so I'm here to continue looking, entering the family will be subject to a lot of constraints, it's better to be alone." It can be seen that the roar is still very straightforward.
"What kind of person, maybe I can help."
"I'm so stupid, I've forgotten that you're the patriarch of the family of gods, wait for me." Howling got into his tent and took out a painting, this is a sketch, the man in the painting is extremely ugly, seven points are not like a person, three points are like a ghost, if it is the same as the painting, then you don't need to wear makeup to play Zhong Kui.
Jiang Li recognized his identity at a glance when he saw the man in the painting, this person's name was Ghost Axe Shengong, an orc bull-headed berserker, and he should still be in the orc steppe tribe now. He's also a good blacksmith, but his main focus is on combat, so he didn't further his education in crafting. Devil Axe is also a well-known casual player, he finally settled in the Behemoth Alliance, and he should still be alone.
"Find this person, do you want to go to his family?" Jiang Li is still more talented, and if such a big warrior is not recruited, he will be suspected of tyrannical things.
"I really didn't think about it, if he wanted, I really wanted to go to your god family to have a look, I heard that your family is very strong, accept people to take the exam, and the examiner can let the people who participate in the assessment choose, and only after three battles and two wins can you enter the family. There are so many people who have failed, and I really want to see how your family can have so many strong priests. ”
Of course, the most common person who is bullied by the two is the priest, and it is only natural for Howling to think so.
"I don't think anyone will choose a pastor for all three of them. I really haven't seen the family exam, I'll check it out when I have time. Jiang Li felt that he was a little too irresponsible, and he had basically never done the work of the family for so long.
"Haha, you're wrong, there really is, I know that one person has lost two games in a row to the priest, and the third one has no face." Howling laughed wildly when he mentioned this, presumably it was his enemy.
Jiang Li really didn't know that the family's exam could be so unique.
