After fighting the elephants, Yang Wu walked for another day and a half, and finally came to the mountain he had seen two days ago in the twilight sunset.

People said that Wangshan ran away from a dead horse, but Yang Wu felt that it was a dead lion! He ran nearly 200 kilometers in two days to reach the foot of the mountain, and he was tired.

Yang Wu looked up and estimated that the mountain was more than 5,000 meters long, and in this savannah climate, the top of the mountain was still a perennial snow belt.

The vegetation in the high mountains has a natural zone that is vertically distributed from low to high:

Low mountain monsoon forest belt-montane evergreen broad-leaved forest belt-montane coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest belt-montane dark coniferous forest belt-alpine shrub meadow zone-alpine meadow zone-sub-glacial zone-ice and snow zone.

Of course, this is a relatively high mountain, like the nameless mountain in front of Yang Wu's eyes, the distribution from low to high is simpler:

Low mountain monsoon forest zone - montane evergreen broad-leaved forest zone - montane dark coniferous forest zone - alpine shrub meadow zone - ice and snow zone

At the foot of the mountain there is a large area of dense monsoon forest.

The monsoon forest community has significant seasonal variations:

In the dry season, most of the trees in the upper layer will lose their leaves, the canopy is sparse, and the herbs in the lower layer are yellow.

During the rainy season, the canopy is thicker and its season phase changes from yellowish-brown to green.

The community structure of the monsoon forest is also very simple, and there are few vines and epiphytes in the forest.

In most cases, the arbor layer has two layers of plants:

The first layer of trees is about 15 meters high, a few can reach more than 20 meters, the growth is relatively sparse, the crown is large, but not continuous, the trunk branches are low, the branches are curved, the bark is thick and rough, and the deciduous broad-leaved trees are more than the evergreen broad-leaved trees.

The second layer of trees is 4~10 meters high, and there are more evergreen broad-leaved trees than deciduous broad-leaved trees, and their growth is affected by the dense canopy of the upper layer.

And here is the home of baboons.

Baboons are a genus of the 1 genus of the Monkeyidae family of the Narrow-nosed Group of the primate ape suborder. They are larger in size, second only to orangutans among primates, with a body length of 50.8~114.2 cm, a tail length of 38.2~71.1 cm, and a weight of up to 60 kg.

Baboons are the only higher monkeys among the monkeys that live in large camps.

Baboons are also the most socially important of the monkeys, with a clear hierarchy and strict discipline, and the cruelty of punishment is frightening.

In the wild, after a cycle of several years, the group of baboons will fight, or divide into groups or change kings.

Because exchanging the old with the new, and the strong for the weak, is the law of the baboon kingdom.

Baboons are generally sexually mature around six years old, and their aggressiveness naturally has a reproductive factor of competing for mates.

Of course, the baboon herd is not always at war, and generally the new king will be very stable for a long time after the birth of the new king, and the population will grow rapidly as the reproduction increases.

At this time, the baboon king will also take the initiative to show friendship to the low-status male baboons and female baboons, and groom their hair, which results in more solidifying its status, and the group of baboons are also competing to pat the baboon king's "sycophant", the baboon king is only symbolically grooming the baboon, and the low-status baboon is doing his best, so the baboon king's hair is always smooth and smooth, the smoothest, and you can see it at a glance.

Baboons are mainly ground-based, but they also climb trees to sleep or forage for food.

They are good swimmers, which are uncommon among monkeys, and they can also make loud noises, either to warn the pack or to intimidate their opponents.

Baboons are generally active during the day and inhabit large branches or caves at night. Their diet consists of a variety of small animals and plants.

Baboons are social animals, usually 30~60 individuals in size, but there are also large groups of 200~300 individuals.

There are more females in the group, but males have a higher status.

Male baboons decide each other's class by fighting, and only high-ranking male baboons can mate with female baboons in heat.

The herd is led by older, sturdy males, with a watchman who warns of the coming predator, and when retreating, the females and juveniles are the first to be protected, and the males are behind to protect, roaring in intimidation and even fighting back.

Baboons are powerful and brave enough to pose a great threat to their intruders, so they do not have many natural enemies, and the main natural enemy is the leopard.

In this monsoon forest, there is a herd of baboons, and there are usually no large carnivores where there are baboons, so there is a lot of peace and tranquility here.

In late September, it is still the dry season, and the leaves of the large trees are sparse, but there are still green branches and foliage hanging from them.

The dusk yellow leaves are thickly spread on the originally damp ground, and from a high altitude it looks like a cake with yellow in the green, delicious and beautiful.

"Wow!~Wow!~"

Before Yang Wu could get closer, he was spotted by the baboons, who had special guards in their group, and would let out a loud roar when they saw a threat.

This is a medium-to-large group of more than 100 baboons, of which about one-third are males.

Hearing the guard's warning, all the baboons became alert, the female baboon and the baby baboon climbed the tree to hide, and the more than thirty adult male baboons surrounded Yang Wu on the tree and on the ground.

They roared loudly, baring their teeth and claws, intimidating Yang Wu, hoping to scare Yang Wu away in this way.

Yang Wu couldn't cry or laugh in his heart: "It's hard for Lao Tzu to cross the road and learn from the West! There are people who block the way everywhere! It's really special to have an inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood!!

It really fulfilled Taizu's life motto:

It's fun to fight with the sky!

It's fun to fight the ground!

It's a lot of fun to fight with people!

We have to fight for everything! We have to fight for everything! We have to fight one batch after another, and there seems to be an enemy that we can't fight, but what can we do?!

The significance of Yang Wushi's life lies in his belief in invincibility! Whoever stands in the way in front will be defeated! There will always be a day when they will be all afraid! There will always be an invincible day!

Yang Wu suddenly understood a little, his current self still didn't recognize it clearly, in fact, he was an intruder!

Even if he just wanted to get by, he didn't want to defeat anyone, grab anyone's status and territory.

But the other animals don't know it! They think it's a provocation! This is a challenge! This is an invasion! There's no hesitation, fight!

Yang Wu passively responded to the battle, and the result was naturally doomed. After all, Yang Wu is a lion who has opened his hanging, and he can't use common sense.

This series of things will make Yang Wu feel that how can there be so many unfriendly guys?! Why is it not peaceful along the way?! Why is it so difficult?!

But from another point of view, they were already there, and he would have to face these roadblocks, neither more nor less.

A poem by Cangyang Gyatso suddenly comes to mind:

You see/

Or don't see me/

I was right there/

Not sad or happy.

Yang Wu's heart suddenly brightened when he thought of this, this is like a game of fighting monsters, where you want to go, you have to defeat the roadblocks on this road, otherwise you will go back or stay to buy road wealth (life).
