Chapter 143: The Giant Monkey Tribe
Dak and Yupanki have had a hard journey in their quest for the mark Enya had left behind.
This is the depths of Kutbarozze, where hidden dark pools and mud puddles abound, and the slightest carelessness will sink into them, and the various creatures are getting bigger and bigger, and their temperaments are becoming more and more ferocious, and if it weren't for the strength of the two of them, they would have died here long ago.
For three whole days, not a single person was seen, only the white-edged skeleton that occasionally showed out of the quagmire reminded them of the danger everywhere.
Food and water are plentiful, and with the help of Brasmus, the two of them can easily find plants and animals that can be eaten, although most of the water here is poisonous, but for Dark, who can easily make dark hell tequila, distilled water is not a problem. So you don't have to worry about eating and drinking for the time being.
The biggest problem now is that the connection is severed, the team chat is meaningless, and there is no contact with anywhere, Enya and Isabella are not within the communication range, so that although the demon's magic energy is sufficient, there is only direction, no distance, and the communication tower cannot be easily established.
Fortunately, Enya is more reliable in doing things, the mark is very clear, peel off a piece of bark, draw a huge "T", and the two can easily move forward along the mark.
In front of a large tree, the two stopped and looked up at the two identical "T" marks that appeared at the same time.
Yupanki scratched his head: "What's the matter? She kept two?"
Duck smiled: "This still needs to be asked, it must have been discovered by the giant monkey, and the front is just over her, so she had to use this method to deceive us - the mark below is real." β
"Why?"
"Enya's mark is that the trunk is cut very smoothly, and the mark is cut neatly with the tip of a knife, and she must have left a small piece of giant spider silk in the deepest part, so if you look in another direction, you will find that the mark is shiny inside, and if it is a false mark, the edge is rough, and there are clay and fine sand grains in the deepest part, which must have been scratched by a giant monkey with a fingernail. β
Yupanji praised: "You are very good at observation. β
"Laughing, I'm a beginner alchemist now, I still have this bit of eyesight, and these little tricks of the giant monkey are useless...... Wait, what's going on?"
Skirting the tree, Duck looked in amazement at the large forest in front of him, densely packed, with a "T" mark on almost every tree!
Yupanki laughed.
Duck smiled bitterly: "Recognize them one by one, is this to recognize the rhythm of the earth, these guys, really work hard." After laughing, he looked up and shouted to the top of the tree, "Hey, the guest has arrived at the door, why don't you hurry up and greet him?"
Before the words fell, a giant monkey jumped down from the tree, covered in long red hair, and a lock of purple hair in the middle of its head.
When Duck saw it, he smiled and said, "It turned out to be an old acquaintance - an old monkey, how is it, it's not bad these days, right?"
The red-haired monkey leaned at him, and let out a breath from his nostrils, "snorting".
"Ouch, the priest who caught us still looks like we owe eight hundred pounds, forget it, for the sake of sincerity, you take this. β
With a wave of his hand, Duck tossed over a dozen spell units made by Nicholas that the red-haired monkey had used.
The red-haired monkey came out of its claws like electricity, crackling for a while, and put more than a dozen spell units into its claws.
"Now, it's time to take us to your nest...... No, no, you're at home, right?"
The red-haired monkey snorted again, ignored him, made a "please" gesture to Yupanki, and then led the way in front of himselfβwalking on two legs like a human.
Yu Panji said in the team chat: "Why are you so polite to me?"
"Then you don't need to ask, when it sees you, it's like seeing a relative. β
"Get out. β
"No kidding, this guy must have something to do with the original Atlas Army. You're a red man in the army, and I guess it knows you. β
"Possibly- why do I think this guy walks so badly?"
"Monkeys, it's normal to walk on all fours, but walking on two legs will definitely be uncomfortable for a long time. With that, Duck raised his voice and said to the red-haired monkey, "Hey, don't feel uncomfortable, relax, how comfortable you can go." β
As soon as this sentence came out, the red-haired monkey's whole body stiffened and stopped.
Duck was stunned, what, I said the wrong thing, hurt its self-esteem? yes, although this guy is in the form of a monkey, he is actually a human being, but ...... I'm not wrong, am I?
The red-haired monkey turned around slowly, and there were tears in his eyes.
Duck was embarrassed: "This and this, I'm sorry, I don't mean anything else! Hind legs, or hind legs, hind legs are good! You have two legs, I have four legs! Yu Panki, hurry up, guests are as they please, lie down!"
The red-haired monkey sneered, then stared at Duck with a straight face, not speaking.
Duck said: "The joke ends here, we are here to help you solve the problem, if you get too entangled in the details, Kuruma will be killed!"
The red-haired monkey nodded, stared at Yupanki embarrassedly, and led the way with a four-limbed stance.
Both Darker and Yupanki sighed secretly.
By all indications, this is indeed a tribe permanently solidified by failed Transfiguration. Poor man, as a human being, he has to accept the body of a monkey!
The two of them walked for more than half an hour, and a bare clearing appeared in front of them, trees had been cut down, and there were more than 20 low and crude grass huts scattered in the clearing. The largest one in the middle looks like the abode of the Monkey King.
Duck said in the team chat: "The monkeys here are all arborealus, and in the form of monkeys, it is not easy to think about housing." β
Yupanki said: "But how can I see that those straw huts are empty?"
Enya's voice suddenly came from the team chat: "Yes, it's all empty, and most of the members can't stand the life on the ground anymore and live in the trees." β
"Enya, are you alright? Where are you now? Isabella?"
"We're all fine, we'll see you later, Isabella is treating the monkeys and I'm helping. If we don't help, these people who have become monkeys will soon become real monkeys. Go and meet their leader first. β
The red-haired monkey led the two to the largest hut and pointed to the door. Duck knocked politely on the door, and an old man's kind voice came from inside: "Come in." β
Duck and Yupanki pushed the door in, and on a broken chair sat a half-human, half-monkey monster with a normal human old man on its upper body, with a hairy monkey body from the chest down.
At the sight of the old man's appearance, both of them chuckled in their hearts.
There is no intermediate level of Transfiguration, either a human or a target animal, there is basically no half-human and half-beast situation, if it appears, the body of man and beast cannot coexist for a long time, and it will inevitably die of rapid exhaustion.
The old man smiled and stretched out his arms to the two: "Welcome two friends from afar, greetings to Karafermi of the Turansova tribe!"
