Chapter 9: The Great Serpent

In the past few days, the strange and contradictory experience has made Ma Yun dazed and stunned, but he quickly got out of that state, washed his face with puddle water, and he became the same Ma Yun again: calm, calm, and indifferent. It doesn't matter where it is, whether it's another world or not, whether it's a crossing, whoever it is, who the body is, who the soul is. In his heart, he is still the same person: his principles of doing things, his attitude towards things, no matter when and where, are all unchanged and come from his heart.

When he accepted all this calmly from the bottom of his heart, his state of mind also underwent a subtle change unconsciously. In the days that followed, Jack Ma lived with the monkeys.

His most popular thing is to help the monkeys make a fire and roast food, at first it was bugs, and then I don't know where the monkeys caught some small animals, and even let him help roast fruits. Ma Yun knows very well that "it is better to teach a fish than to teach a fish", especially when he saw that the little monkey was very interested in making fire, and every time he let the little monkey learn to make a fire, a few days later, the little monkey actually made a fire by himself, which caused the monkeys to boil.

Since then, more and more monkeys have begun to learn to make fires, especially after the baby monkeys have learned, it is even more convenient and quick to guide other monkeys to learn. Seeing that the monkeys had mastered the skill of making fire, Ma Yun handed over the flint and iron pieces to the Monkey King. This fire is extremely important for the monkeys, and this flint and steel is also a consumable thing, so it is better to use it sparingly. The Monkey King was overjoyed.

After living in this forest for a while, Ma Yun's skills have become a lot more flexible, he can climb a big tree in a few clicks, and he can swing a few feet away with a rattan tug, and he has fully integrated into his current life. Of course, he was not idle, but he found the great river he had seen before, and walked down the river for a day, until at last the river suddenly flowed into a great crack in the ground, which was bottomless, and left only a great echo of the rumbling, and he went upstream, and walked for two days, and at last found that the river was flowing out of a huge pool, and in the middle of the pool there was a thick column of water, and there was a water gushing out of the ground.

Walking out of the river here doesn't work. He climbed to the highest mountain nearby, and then he found himself deep in the mountains, with peaks rising and falling on all sides, among which there seemed to be a taller mountain on the west side, a hundred miles away by his intuition, and although the view was obscured by the clouds, the shadow of the huge mountain could still be faintly seen.

"Let me rub it, how big is this mountain, which direction can get out of here faster!" Ma Yun had no idea for a while. "Uncle, cross over, cross over, reborn will be reborn, can you get a better place, this whole wilderness, you can't even see a figure, you won't be on the planet of the apes." Ma Yun suddenly remembered a movie he had watched, "Planet of the Apes", which was about a certain planet where there were no humans, only apes, and apes ruled that planet. "If I really get to a place where there are no humans, then I won't be a monkey in the zoo, and everyone will treat me like a monkey!"

This time, Ma Yun went out to visit a few mountains, but still found nothing. When he returned to the dense forest of the monkeys, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. In the past, monkeys were everywhere in the dense forest, but now they are familiar with Ma Yun, and occasionally they will play tricks on Ma Yun and throw a fruit pit or something at him. But now the forest is quiet, and there is not a single monkey to be seen.

"Could it be that they have all been summoned by the Monkey King?" hurriedly quickened his pace and hurried towards the giant tree where the Monkey King was. At a distance from the giant tree, I heard the neighing of many monkeys, and the sound sounded a little sad. When I got closer, I saw that the monkeys were all squatting on the ground, and the strong monkey king was lying motionless on the ground, the originally neat and shiny monkey hair became messy, and a large piece of skin fell off his shoulders, revealing the white bones of the forest, and the blood that flowed out of it was actually jet black. The snow-white monkey was smashing some flowers and plants with stones, and then applying those things to the wound.

What worries Ma Yun even more is that the Monkey King's original red face is now also black, although Ma Yun has not seen what the poisoned person looks like, but he also knows that the Monkey King is poisoned, and the poison is quite deep. Compared to the trauma on the shoulder, the poison is more dangerous. The herb of the snow-white old monkey is also magical, and the wound on the shoulder of the monkey king will not bleed after being applied soon, but the face is still black, and the toxicity has not been relieved much. With the wisdom of these monkeys, although they can learn to make fire, there is still a gap between their abilities and those of humans.

The snow-white old monkey also seemed to have noticed that the effect of the herbs was not good, and he kept screaming. After a while, he seemed to remember something, and jumped up the giant tree. The snow-white monkey may have been too old and was noticeably clumsy and sluggish in its jumping, but fortunately, it eventually disappeared into the canopy. Not long after, with the shaking of the branches, the old monkey jumped down from the giant tree again, and there was a dark green object in his hand that looked like an egg.

Walking next to the Monkey King, one hand broke open the Monkey King's mouth, and the other hand pinched the dark green object, and a fishy black and thick smelly liquid squirted out of the dark green object and flowed into the Monkey King's mouth. Ma Yun stood not far away, smelling the fishy smell, and suddenly felt a little dizzy in his head, and a little nauseous in his chest, and couldn't help but feel that the liquid was so toxic.

The snow-white old monkey couldn't squeeze out the liquid anymore, so he threw it aside, and he stood nervously next to him and kept walking. I don't know what the black liquid is, it actually works well, after ten minutes, the monkey king's black face has a faint red, the originally undulating chest has also calmed down, and the motionless body has gradually reacted, and after more than ten minutes, the monkey king finally opened his eyes, looked weakly at the old monkey next to him and the monkeys around him, and let out a soft scream.

Seeing the Monkey King wake up, the monkeys boiled with joy. Looking at the appearance of the Monkey King, the toxicity has been resolved, and it should be fine as long as he cultivates for a period of time. In addition to teaching them how to make fires, Ma also plans to teach them to make and use some simple tools, such as making quenched spears, but they have never had a sword or anything like that to chop wood. Now that I see that the Monkey King has been hit hard by this, there must be powerful natural enemies around, and it is still necessary to improve the ability of the monkey group.

Just as Ma Yun was thinking, the monkeys suddenly became agitated again, and they all looked in one direction, Ma Yun followed the sound and was immediately surprised: I saw a big snake with the thickness of a bucket wrapped around a big tree, the snake body was about ten meters long, the snake head was as big as a grinding plate, the triangular head was covered with red and green stripes, and it was a highly poisonous thing at a glance.

"I'm rubbing, such a big poisonous snake, it's not a python, it's unimaginable. What the hell is this place? ”

Seeing the monkey king lying on the ground, the big snake was very happy, and slowly climbed down from the tree and climbed towards the monkey king. How could the monkeys allow the big snake to eat the monkey king, and suddenly some of the stronger monkeys rushed forward with their sticks, and the smaller monkeys also threw stones from a distance.

It's just that the tail of the big snake swept violently, and most of the monkeys that rushed over were swept back backwards before they could get close, and occasionally a few dexterous monkeys avoided the snake's tail and were able to get close to the body of the big snake, raising the stick in their hands and smashing it hard. The serpent let out an angry cry, and its huge tail swept fiercely towards the monkeys. The monkeys were immediately pumped into the air, and then fell heavily to the ground, unable to move.

As for the stones thrown by the monkey in the distance, the big snake didn't pay attention to it at all, and let the stones smash indiscriminately on his body, but proudly raised the snake's head higher.

Seeing this, the snow-white old monkey let out a loud roar, and the panicked monkeys quieted down and retreated into the distance one after another. For a while, only the old monkey Ma Yun and the monkey king lying on the ground were left in the clearing.

Ma Yun smiled bitterly, and he didn't know what to do for a while. To his relief, the little monkey that had already retreated turned back at this time, standing next to the snow-white old monkey, grinning at the big snake.

The snow-white old monkey no longer has that old state at the moment, but stands there straight, with a cold light in his eyes. The big snake also noticed the abnormality of the old monkey, and actually stopped, staring at the old monkey with venomous eyes.

The weak monkey king lay on the ground, roaring at the snow-white old monkey, with an anxious look in his eyes. The old monkey looked at the monkey king on the ground, and shook his head anthropomorphically, and Ma Yun was surprised when he saw it. "This old monkey is almost fine!"

The big snake didn't move, but the old monkey moved first, and only a few meters in front of the big snake in a flash, and the action was so fast that Ma Yun only saw a shadow. The big snake reacted very quickly, the old monkey body started the moment it swung its tail, this time the speed of swinging the tail was much faster than the previous deal with the monkeys, but the old monkey was more keen, and when the tail was almost hitting the body, another flash reached the head of the big snake, and then raised his claws and smashed it fiercely towards the back of the big snake's head. Ma Yun was even more convinced of his judgment, this old monkey was extremely intelligent, and he actually knew the seven inches of the attack on the big snake.

The big snake hurriedly turned its head and opened its mouth to bite the old monkey, and the old monkey's original full force had to be hastily withdrawn and jumped to the side. Then he jumped up again and attacked Qicun from the other direction, and the big snake used both head and tail, so that the old monkey could not get close. Repeated like this many times, neither the big snake nor the old monkey could help each other, but kept biting, jumping, and slapping.

This time the old monkey made a shape and wanted to attack the seven inches of the big snake, and the big snake used its tail to pump to the old monkey, never thought that the old monkey suddenly changed direction, and hit the tail of the snake fiercely, this blow seemed to be extremely powerful, the big snake actually let out a sad roar, and attacked the old monkey even more manically. Helplessly, the old monkey was extremely keen, and the attack of the big snake dodged every time, but it was the old monkey who was virtual and real, and the sound was striking west, each time it seemed to attack seven inches, but in fact it attacked the other parts of the big snake, making the big snake embarrassed, and the scales of the palm fell down several pieces.

After about half an hour, the big snake shrank into a ball, and no longer attacked with its body, but met the old monkey who jumped over with its big mouth, and occasionally spewed out a pale black poisonous gas from the big mouth, and the old monkey seemed to be very afraid of the poisonous gas, and hid far away every time. In this way, the snake and the monkey stalemate for another half an hour, and no one could help anyone, but the big snake seemed to have the intention of retreating, and its body began to move slowly into the distance. Seeing this, the old monkey's eyes showed a look of joy.

Just as the big snake was about to leave, the old monkey's body, which was originally imposing, suddenly trembled, and the cold aura on his body disappeared a lot.
