Chapter 7: Fire
Gan Ping was only nine years old, and he was still a child, and he couldn't help but laugh happily when he saw this cute monkey so spiritual. I saw that the monkey was jumping, and suddenly fell from the branch, Gan Ping hurriedly stretched out his hand to catch it, but he didn't expect the monkey to take advantage of the momentum to pounce, and got into Gan Ping's arms, Gan Ping hurriedly hugged it, put it in his arms and looked at it carefully.
Strange to say, this monkey ran and jumped on the tree, very lively, but as soon as it fell into Ganping's arms, he honestly remained motionless, and only looked at Ganping's face with a pair of black eyes.
Seeing its pitiful appearance, Gan Ping couldn't help but stretch out his hand, nodded his nostrils, and scolded with a smile: "Little trickster." The monkey immediately grabbed Gan Ping's finger tightly, and shook it so much that Gan Ping giggled, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and the haze of many days was swept away.
If there is a monk who is good at identifying spirit animals, he will definitely call out the name of this red-haired monkey, the fire monkey. There are spirit beasts and demon beasts in the heavens and the earth, and the demon beasts are the collective name of the fierce and vicious beasts that gather in the roaring mountains and forests and hurt people's lives. Spirit animals, on the other hand, have a much gentler personality and never take the initiative to harm humans.
This fire monkey is one of them, with the blood of the ancient divine beast Hercules Ape, although the body is petite, but the strength is infinite, and is naturally good at using the fire attribute aura, born for the fire attribute of people or things forward, but it is very rare, there have been monks to capture, used to guard the Dan furnace, and I don't know why there is one here, and found Xiao Ganping.
After playing with the unknown monkey for a while, Gan Ping reluctantly put it on the ground, "Little monkey, go home quickly, I'm leaving." Although I like this monkey very much, but the sky has darkened, if this little monkey does not return to the monkey group quickly, there may be some danger, even if there is some reluctance, but the kind-hearted Gan Ping still plans to let it go.
The fire monkey squatted on the ground, staring at Gan Ping with a pair of dark eyes, scratching the top of his head again, as if he didn't understand what Gan Ping meant, but then screamed and threw himself into Gan Ping's arms again.
After several times, Gan Ping found that the fire monkey was relying on himself and did not leave, so in desperation, he had to let it jump around on his shoulder, turn around and walk in the direction of travel.
Originally, Gan Ping thought that if he was far away from the woods, the monkey would be impatient and leave, but he didn't expect to walk all the way for a long time, until it was dark, and the monkey on his shoulder had no intention of turning back, so he couldn't help but murmur in his heart, could it be that this is an isolated monkey?
How did he know that this fire monkey was born and raised, and he had no fixed place to live, so he didn't care where he went, and suddenly met Xiao Ganping, who was the body of the fire spirit, and he was willing to leave.
The weather is gradually getting colder, and it is calculated that he has been traveling in this mountain forest for more than 20 days, and Ganping has also encountered a lot of wild beasts along the way, but there is no trace of people.
After a whistle, a hairy monkey's head appeared from the tree in front of him, and then a fiery red monkey with a whole body of less than half a foot danced out, holding two wild fruits in its paws, and the monkey threw one to Ganping, and then squatted on the tree and feasted on it.
Gan Ping took the wild fruit, wiped it with his hand, and gnawed it up, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the wild fruit is getting fewer and fewer, if it weren't for the fire to find food for himself, maybe he would have to go hungry.
Huo'er, is the name that Gan Ping gave to the fire monkey, it is strange to say, this monkey was alive and round play with Gan Ping at the beginning, one day I found a small red wild fruit out of nowhere, Gan Ping looked at the little wild fruit did not have anything good, and threw it to Huo'er, the monkey ate it and plunged into Gan Ping's arms, fell asleep, and slept for many days in a row. At first, Gan Ping thought that there was something wrong with Huo'er, so he turned the sleeping monkey over and over again and checked it several times, and finally could only reluctantly admit that this little slacker was just asleep. So he put it in his arms and let it sleep, the monkey only woke up two days ago, but what Gan Ping didn't expect was that the monkey slept for several days in a row, and the original dark red fur actually became brighter, turning into a fiery red color, and the body was also shortened, which couldn't help but make him secretly worried, worried about whether Huo'er was sick, but the spirit of jumping up and down after this troublemaker woke up made Gan Ping feel relieved.
This fire monkey didn't know what to eat, and after this deep sleep, he was more alert than before, and he was more popular, because every day by Ganping's side, nourished by the breath of the fire spirit's body, he was also more dependent on Xiao Ganping.
After eating the fruit, the fire squeaked and danced on the tree, apparently wanting to play with Gan Ping, and Gan Ping said helplessly: "Huo'er, come down, change your way." The monkey obviously didn't quite understand, and looked at Gan Ping very suspiciously, not understanding why Gan Ping didn't play with him this time.
Gan Ping said to the monkey: "Huo'er, come down, it's time to go, you can't play." "Days of running made Xiao Gan Ping grow up rapidly, with the two masters of the Yuan Shen fragments and experience, after this journey of hardships, has gradually emerged, the mind is no longer just a nine-year-old child.
Reaching out to catch the fire that jumped down, he turned and walked forward, the monkey nested in Gan Ping's arms, as if wondering why his master was so worried, and couldn't help but touch Gan Ping's face with his furry little paws.
Gan Ping was scratched by it, so he pressed the funny nose that was facing the sky, and said with a smile: "You little slippery head, let me take you all day long, if only our speed could be faster." ”
Hearing Gan Ping's words, Huo'er scratched his head, the little monkey had a thoughtful look on his face, Gan Ping looked funny, knocked on its head and said, "Could it be that you really have a way?" As soon as the words fell, the fiery monkey jumped up from his arms, rushed onto the branch, jumped repeatedly, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Gan Ping hurriedly shouted: "Huo'er, Huo'er." Looking at the fiery red shadow that was not seen in the distance, he couldn't help sighing, touching his forehead, with a helpless face, what does this monkey want to do, it's okay, let's rest first.
Finding a slightly flat root, Gan Ping leaned obliquely on the trunk, his eyes glancing around, bored in a daze. The wild monkey should have come back in a moment, and sure enough, after a while, Gan Ping heard the familiar squeak, which sounded very excited, and he hurriedly stood up and looked in the direction of the call.
A huge figure ran in the distance, which couldn't help but startle Gan Ping, and hurriedly took a closer look. The one who rushed over was actually a huge black panther, one zhang long, two huge blue eyes on the huge leopard's head, staring at himself, his vigorous body muscles and joints, every time he jumped, there was a distance of more than ten zhang, and he was running towards this side.
Along the way, Gan Ping also saw a lot of fierce beasts, but he had never seen such a huge and ferocious black panther, and he couldn't help but secretly complain, and he didn't know if he could defeat it. Along the way, there were no more ferocious beasts killed by Gan Ping, and since he discovered his divine power, he kicked away when he encountered a fierce beast that wanted to attack him, but he had never seen such a giant black panther.
Just when Gan Ping was ready to desperately try to let the leopard go, the huge beast suddenly stopped in front of him, "Squeak!" After hearing a familiar monkey call, the black panther actually leaned down and obediently lay on the ground. At this time, Gan Ping found that the fire that was squatting on the top of the leopard's head, a fiery red fur was particularly conspicuous against the background of the black leopard, and Gan Ping did not find it just now because of nervousness.
Looking blankly at the fire that was showing off above the leopard's head, Gan Ping had a strange feeling in his heart, it seemed that Huo'er had subdued this big guy, so to speak, Huo'er must not be an ordinary monkey, he must have a great background.
The black panther who was jumping around at his feet was also very depressed, he was also the overlord of this area, he had practiced for more than a hundred years, and he was almost able to advance to the powerful existence of the demon beast, and he was sleeping in the cave in peace, but he didn't expect the guy above his head to suddenly break in and bring himself to the human in front of him, but he had no ability to resist at all, feeling the sharp monkey claw on his head, the black panther had no doubt that it could scratch his head, and couldn't help but resign himself to fate.
Gan Ping circled around the huge black panther twice, and was amazed, Huo'er was so good at catching such a big leopard and letting it obediently obey orders, I didn't expect it. He didn't know that this fire monkey was born with a spirit beast, and a few days ago he ate that strange fruit, and absorbed the power of the fire spirit in Gan Ping's arms to sleep, and when he woke up this time, he had awakened some of the bloodlines of the ancient inheritance, and the bloodline of the ancient divine beasts was coercive, which was something that the black panther who had not yet reached the strength of the low-level demon beast could withstand.
Gan Ping saw Huo'er repeatedly urging him to climb onto the leopard's body, and then he understood the meaning of this little monkey, it turned out that he caught this big guy because he wanted to use it to travel, and he couldn't help but pat his forehead, why didn't he think of it? Those tigers and leopards and other fierce beasts he had encountered before, just give them a little hardship, and it was not easy for him to subdue a tiger to travel with his own divine power? When Gan Ping was annoyed, he only heard the fire squeak and squeak, and urged Gan Ping to ride on the leopard.
Looking at the jumping fire, looking at the huge black panther lying on the ground and not daring to move, Gan Ping hurriedly climbed onto the leopard. Huo'er took out a thin branch from behind him, and whipped it at the leopard's huge head, and then grabbed the skin of the leopard's head with his small paws, and screamed proudly, and the leopard rushed forward like an arrow from the string.
Gan Ping almost dodged the leopard's body by this sudden acceleration, screamed, and hurriedly grabbed the leopard's fur under him. A black light and shadow passed by in the forest, nearly a hundred times faster than the speed of Ganping's advance, with Ganping's panicked shout, the monkey squeaked excitedly, and mixed with the leopard's painful roar, and disappeared in an instant.
