The forest was cloudy and mist, surprisingly quiet, no birdsong could be heard, and the light flickered on and off with the canopy. The damp earth smelled of decay.

"Elvis, there's no need to be so suspicious, don't worry, it's just baked, come and taste it, it tastes good"

I ignored Isaac, my eyes fixed on the black shadow not far away, and with a "whoosh" sound, the fluorite had exploded where the black shadow was, and the fire flashed, and the black shadow fell from the branch in response.

I jumped and rushed to see a squirrel-like thing lying in the grass, but slightly larger and fat. Seeing my arrival, he hurriedly got up and ran away in a puff of smoke.

"What's that?"

"I don't know, but it's not a night monkey".

I glanced at Xavier, whose sword was halfway drawn, and seeing that I was all right, he took it back.

"I'll just say don't be too nervous, the night monkey beasts come out in groups at night, and now in broad daylight, they all hide in the cave to sleep."

"Isaac, how did you catch this night monkey?". I asked.

"Brady and I were afraid of getting lost, so we followed the traces left by Ataruga to look for food, and happened to meet this night monkey beast, standing on the trunk of a tree that was broken by Ataruga, such a good opportunity, we naturally won't let it go, so we worked together to catch it." Isaac explained, wiping the grease from his mouth.

"I can only blame this night monkey beast for being unlucky, and it didn't kill itself when it came out in broad daylight."

Hearing this, I frowned, and I roughly understood the whole process, it must have been Ataruga who had made too much noise just now, which woke up the night monkey beast that was resting in a nearby cave, so I sent the night monkey beast that was eaten by Isaac to investigate the situation.

Daytime is not their activity time, and the forest is full of dangers, since they will send night monkey beasts out, then there must be some kind of agreement between them, if the monkeys sent out encounter accidents, that is, beyond this agreed time, presumably the night monkey beast group will make a response.

It's been about half an hour since Isaac returned, and I don't know how the group of night monkeys made an agreement, but I can't stay here for long.

"Pack your things and go find Elvia and Arna, get out of here"

"Don't worry, there's still so much meat to eat?"

"If you don't want to be eaten, leave quickly"

Seeing my cold expression and irrefutable tone, Isaac hurriedly shoved the strip of meat in his hand into his mouth, got up to extinguish the fire, and chased after me.

Dark clouds obscured the light, the forest was as black as splashed ink, and the humid air around it, combined with the smell of decomposing corpses, was disgusting. The wind blows behind you, the canopy shakes, and the leaves rustle, like the whispers of hellish ghosts, which makes people shudder.

"Still, is it late?"

I pulled the fluorite out of my bag, clenched it in my hand, and scanned my surroundings vigilantly, only to hear the sound of branches swaying, like some kind of creature jumping from branch to branch.

From time to time, there was a sharp pain in the arm, and with a little exertion, blood flowed out, staining the sleeves red over and over again.

Xavier gripped the hilt of his sword in his right hand and walked lightly, presumably sensing that something was following us.

Isaac and Brady couldn't help but be shocked when they saw our actions, and seemed to sense the seriousness of the problem, and clutched their weapons in their hands and protected them on their chests.

"Brother, we're here"

Elvia's voice rang out suddenly, and the thing that had been following us jumped away at the sound.

I breathed a sigh of relief and looked intently, only to see two people walking towards us with colorful flowers and plants in their hands.

"Brother, why don't you stay in the big tree, what are you doing here?"

I took the crimson sword Elvia handed me and returned the bag to her.

"We can't stay here anymore, now we're going to get out of here."

"What happened?". Arna sensed the seriousness of the matter in my eyes.

"The two of us caught a night monkey beast, roasted it and ate it, and then Elvis urged us to leave." Isaac explained.

"Night Monkey Beast? Don't they come out at night? ”

"Yes! So I can only blame it for being unlucky, and coming out in broad daylight is not just sending it to death." Isaac shrugged his shoulders and replied.

"The night monkey beast has a strong revenge mentality, although we have come to Mount Wuyue many times, but the number of times we have encountered the night monkey beast is very small, a single night monkey beast is easy to deal with, if you face the entire monkey group, I am afraid that the ability of a few of us will not be enough to deal with it, Elvis's worry is normal"

"Xavier, why have you become so nervous, it's not like your style." Isaac teased.

"Let's get out of here first"

I strapped the crimson sword on my back and looked up at the sky, which was overcast, and I was afraid that it would rain.

"Can you still hold on to your arm injury?" Arna's eyes flashed with concern, and she asked softly.

"Wait until you get out of here, Isaac, throw away all the night monkey meat on you."

"It's a pity to throw it away, just keep it for the road to eat"

"Yes! It took a lot of effort for both of us to catch it, and it was too wasteful to throw it away." Brady chimed in.

"If you want us all to die here, you can do it"

Although I have never seen a night monkey, I can see from the stump just now that the night monkey has large eyes and a long nose, which means that this monkey not only has excellent eyesight, but also has an extremely sensitive sense of smell.

"Okay, I'll throw it all away." Although Isaac was unwilling in his heart, he had no choice but to do it.

"Brother, where are we going now?"

I didn't answer, but turned to my head and asked, "Xavier, what is the general range of activities of the night monkey herd?" ”

"Centered on the cave where the monkeys are, a radius of 60 miles is the range of their activities."

I looked around, the movement of Ataruga just now could wake up the night monkey herd, forcing them to risk their lives to find out the situation, and it must have made them feel threatened, so that the cave where the night monkey herd lived would not be too far away.

If Isaac and the others had killed the night monkeys five miles away from us, and assumed ten miles from the cave of the night monkeys, the best situation would have been for us to go thirty-five miles further in the direction we are now.

The worst-case scenario is that we are heading towards the cave of the night monkey herd.

"Perhaps, it's really too late"

Thinking of this, I suddenly had a bad premonition in my heart. Because I missed one of the most important things, the night monkey beast is a social creature, and if it comes out to investigate the situation, it will definitely not send only one night monkey beast.

"Brother, what did you say?"

"Elvia, can you call the giant bird that brought you here?"

It has been too long since we killed the night monkey beast, and we can't get out of the night monkey beast's sphere of influence just by walking in the forest, and we are by no means the opponent of the monkey group on the ground, so we must immediately go to the air.

"No, they can't find us, only to the top of the mountain"

All of a sudden, we heard the wind blowing above us, dark clouds obscuring the sky, the forest was gloomy and gloomy, and it was unusually hot and sultry, and it seemed that a torrential rain was coming.

"What now?"

Xavier's face was cold, and he clenched the sword in his hand, presumably he also felt that the hidden darkness around him was about to move.

"Go back to where you came from"
