Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Red-Haired Night Monkey
Lightning tore through the dark clouds, and dull thunder roared like cannons. The trees were blown away by the wind and crumbling. The dark sky seemed to be about to collapse.
"Evolved?"
I stuck my crimson sword into the ground, trying to stabilize my weak body.
In an instant, I saw that the body of this white-haired night monkey beast had doubled, its limbs became thicker, and the white hair on its body instantly turned bright red, as if it had been stained with blood. The exposed fangs stretched out and shimmered with a terrifying cold light.
The red-haired night monkey beast had a fierce gaze, and its fists that were vertically above its knees slammed into the ground, and with a "boom", the whole earth trembled.
I glanced around, and the group of monkeys that had been surrounding me had all stepped back a few meters, standing on the branches and watching from afar, they were also afraid of the red-haired beast.
Perhaps it was the sword that made the red-haired night monkey beast feel the pain, and now it became cautious, picked up the one-meter-thick trunk next to it, and used its dark and wrinkled hand to pick up the excess branches, and confronted me.
I pulled out the crimson sword stuck in the ground, and I didn't take the initiative to attack, and the red-haired night monkey beast had a wooden stick in my hand, making it even more difficult for me to get close.
"Wow~Wow"
"Wow~Woo~"
Just when I didn't know how to respond, the silent monkeys around me suddenly became irritable, jumping back and forth in the branches, roaring one after another.
Hearing the sound, the red-haired night monkey beast seemed to have received an emergency signal, threw away the tree trunk in its hand, and hurriedly ran to the northeast.
At this time, the surrounding black-pressed monkey group followed the red-haired night monkey beast as if the tide was receding.
After a long time, when I was sure that there was no more night monkey beast, my whole body instantly knelt down, supporting my body with my sword and about to fall to the ground, a wave of heat swelled in my stomach, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.
I stood up in pain, I didn't know what caused the monkeys to retreat, but I knew that the night monkeys weren't going to give up.
I pulled a white pill out of my bosom, hesitated for a moment, and then swallowed it back to my stomach, which Yeante had given me during the battle against Seramand in the mines.
With the white pill in my stomach, I only felt that the pain in my whole body was gradually reducing, and my strength was slowly recovering.
If we take advantage of this interval, we should have enough time to get out of here, but the sky is overcast, and there must be a heavy rain soon, and the forest is dark and gloomy, and some rain-loving reptile poison all burrows out of the ground and hides in the dark, and the road is very dangerous at this time.
I looked at the direction of the retreat of the night monkey herd, thought twice, and jumped in pursuit.
I followed the call of the night monkey beast and finally came to a halt in a relatively flat area. I didn't go too far to avoid being spotted by the monkeys, looked around, and then landed lightly on a large tree with dense foliage.
Through the foliage of the forest, I could see a raised hill, hidden among some unknown plants and grass, which was difficult to spot unless I looked closely.
Presumably, this is the cave where the night monkey beast lives, and there are some huge rocks scattered around it, and the stones are covered with blood.
The red-haired night monkey beast stood at the entrance of the cave, and one by one the night monkey beasts came out of the cave one after another, and placed the remains of those bitten only fur and broken bones in front of the red-haired night monkey beast.
I looked closely, and I could tell from the stumps and broken arms that they were still small, and they should be some juvenile night monkeys.
The monkeys collectively bowed their heads, and all of them fell silent.
I already understood the reason for the night monkeymon's hasty retreat, but I wondered what it was that would dare to attack the night monkeymon's lair.
As a rapid "whoosh" sound came from the cave, a slightly larger night monkey beast hurriedly ran out and handed a handful of hair to the red-haired night monkey beast.
"Ataruga?"
I was shocked to the hard tan mane that was clearly left behind by Ataruga.
Taking advantage of the opportunity for the night monkey herd to come out of the cave en masse, raid the cave of the night monkey beast and slaughter their cubs, this Ataruga is clearly not a brainless beast.
In this way, it seems that Ataruga appeared in Mount Kiridake, not because he was lost, but for another purpose.
Suddenly, the monkeys roared again and rushed towards where I was.
"Oops"
The night monkeys' keen sense of smell is already aware of my presence, and if they catch me, it is unknown whether they will be the target of their revenge.
I hurriedly jumped up, threw the fluorite in my hand towards the monkeys, and with a "boom", several large trees around me were broken by the shock wave of the explosion, and smashed to the ground with a "click".
The red-haired night monkey beast roared angrily, lifted the boulder scattered on the ground, and slammed it down on me.
I turned around with my sword and slashed at it, and the boulder was instantly split in half by the solid blade, but then the rain of stones smashed all over me.
With a "clang", my body broke through the block of the branch and smashed straight to the ground.
The surrounding monkeys instantly surrounded me, and before I could stand up, the red-haired night monkey beast jumped and appeared in front of me.
"Whew~"
The red-haired night monkey beast roared at my head, and the huge air currents enveloped the sound waves, making my head almost explode.
The black and oppressive monkeys took the opportunity to surround me, grinning their teeth, eager to immediately break my body into thousands of pieces to vent their inner anger.
"Wow~Wow"
The red-haired night monkey beast roared at the monkeys, and in an instant the monkeys jumped back to the branches and watched from afar.
I picked up the crimson sword that had fallen next to me, and took a few steps back, keeping a certain distance from it.
The red-haired night monkey creature glared angrily, its facial muscles trembled, its sharp fangs bared, and it roared in a low voice.
"Still coming?"
I clenched the crimson sword, my hands trembled slightly, staring at the behemoth in front of me, and cold sweat broke out on my forehead.
The force of a punch is three times higher than that of the white-haired night monkey in the red-haired state, and if it is hit again, it will no longer break a few ribs, but may break all the bones of the whole body.
The red-haired night monkey roared angrily and swung its fist straight at me, but instead of meeting it head-on, I instantly jumped up and landed behind it with the help of a tree trunk.
But it didn't seem to give me a chance to breathe, and as soon as I landed, the red-haired night monkey beast swung its fist again, and with a "whew", a huge black fist quickly passed in front of my eyes, only an inch away. If I hadn't dodged faster, this punch would have smashed my head.
The moment the red-haired monkey beast retracted its fist, I kicked it in the abdomen, and then swung its crimson sword, flashing quickly on it.
"Whew~"
The red-haired night monkey roared and threw its fist at me, but I didn't fight again, rolling in the air, and distancing myself from it again.
I stuck my crimson sword into the ground, steadied my extremely weak body, and stared up at the red-haired beast in front of me.
It took too much effort to swing the sword just now, causing the wound on his left arm to rupture, and blood slowly dripped from his fingers, like red flowers blooming on the ground.
The red-haired night monkey beast had obviously lost its patience, and with a roar, its huge body rushed towards me.
Suddenly, I felt a shake under my feet, as if something was about to break through the ground.
I glanced at the red-haired night monkey beast that was rushing at a rapid pace, and then looked down at my feet.
"Who could it be?"
