Volume 1, Born Lonely Chapter 73, Escape
Hearing Ma Yujian's shout, Chen Shuyu stood up from the spring and walked over to him.
Xu Bing also walked out of the cave and waited for the next step from the master.
Ma Yujian saw the two of them coming, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Okay, it's almost rested, now I'll take you out to have a good time, old man."
After Ma Yujian finished speaking, regardless of the reaction of the two, he flew directly towards the top of the cliff.
Xu Bing and the others were stunned for a moment when they heard Ma Yujian's words, but they didn't ask much, the two stepped on the magic weapon and followed together.
At this moment, in the north of this valley, about ten miles away from here. There is a high mountain here, and it is now noon, but it is very quiet on this peak.
At the top of this peak, there is an extremely thick tree, which is more than ten feet high.
At this moment, on one of the branches of the big tree, there was a figure lying lazily in it, holding a few bananas in his arms, peeling them one by one and sending them to his mouth.
The figure was small, covered in brown hair, and looked like a monkey.
Suddenly, from the south side of the peak, there was a whistling sound, and then I saw Ma Yujian's figure stop halfway up the mountain, looked back behind him, and shouted, "Can you two hurry up."
Xu Bing and Chen Shuyu had exhausted all their speed at the moment, but they still couldn't catch up with Ma Yujian in front, and the other party was still waiting for the two of them from time to time.
On the big tree at the top of the mountain, the monkey was eating a banana deliciously, but suddenly heard Ma Yujian's voice, suddenly stopped chewing in his mouth, got up and glared angrily in the direction from which the sound came, and let out a low threatening sound from his mouth.
When Xu Bing and the others caught up, Ma Yujian fell to the ground, and at the same time beckoned the two of them to come down as well, and the three of them walked towards the mountain peak at the same time.
Xu Bing had a little guess in his heart, and understood that this time maybe the master had found a demon beast again, and since then he has come to help himself and Chen Shuyu to cultivate, but he didn't ask too much.
However, Chen Shuyu didn't know about this, and after she landed, she asked Ma Yujian, who was leaving directly in front of her, "Elder Ma, where are you taking us?"
When Ma Yujian heard this, he didn't look back and said, "Oh, your unreliable master threw you to me, let my old man help you, this time, of course, I will help you break through your cultivation first."
When Chen Shuyu heard this, he also understood, hugged his fist at Ma Yujian's back, thanked him, and didn't ask any more questions.
And the monkey at the top of the mountain, after discovering that someone was here, also climbed a little higher up to the tree, and then stared closely at the direction where Ma Yujian's voice came just now, ready to fight at any time.
After half a pillar of incense, more than ten zhang away from the big tree where the monkey was, the figures of Ma Yujian and the three appeared.
After the monkey saw the three of them, he first noticed Ma Yujian, who was the leader, and Xu Bing and Chen Shuyu followed behind, occasionally blocked by Ma Yujian.
The monkey could feel that the cultivation of the old man in front of him was not weak, and even gave it a great sense of crisis. However, as the king of this mountain, it still did not flinch, only hesitated for a moment, and then roared a few times at Ma Yujian's location, in order to declare this place as its own territory and let them leave.
After hearing the monkey's call, all three stopped at the same time.
Chen Shuyu directly held the flying sword in his hand, obviously ready to fight. And Ma Yujian looked at the big tree where the monkey was with an indifferent face, and at a glance, he had already seen where the monkey was.
Just one glance made the sense of crisis in the monkey's heart even stronger. It couldn't see through the old man in front of it at all, but the sense of crisis was real, but it still endured the fear in its heart, stared at Ma Yujian, and roared again.
Behind Ma Yujian, Xu Bing also followed the prestige of the big tree in front of him, but he didn't see where the monkey was, just glanced at the big tree, looking for the source of the cry.
Because the scream, especially some of the anger mixed with a hint of reluctance and tenacity, made him feel somewhat familiar, as if he had heard the same cry somewhere before.
Ma Yujian looked at the monkey and smiled, muttered "interesting" to himself, and continued to walk up.
Xu Bing and the others followed behind them, also walking upward, and soon, the three of them approached the big tree and stopped when there were only four or five zhang left.
The monkey was already very hesitant in his heart, after all, in its perception, the old man in front of him was not something he could deal with, not to mention that there were two people behind him.
After seeing the three of them coming, the monkey was so frightened that he took half a step back. However, it seemed to have forgotten that it was on the tree at the moment, and this half-step exit caused its body to immediately lose its balance, and it almost fell off the branch.
But fortunately, the monkey reacted quickly, and the moment it fell backwards, its two hind paws grabbed the branch hard, and hung its whole body upside down on the branch, which also prevented it from falling.
And the movement of the monkey also attracted the attention of Xu Bing and Chen Shuyu. Originally, they didn't see the exact location of the monkey. But at this moment, he found the monkey's location.
Xu Bing followed the movement and saw that there was a monkey hanging upside down on the branch, which was tumbling upwards at the moment, and then it returned to the branch again and stabilized its body.
After looking at it for a while, Xu Bing realized that he had indeed seen the monkey in front of him before, which was why he felt that the cry was familiar before.
A few months ago, in the valley to the west of the Thunder Immortal Sect, it was the monkey in front of him who had been fighting with the white-clothed child for a long time.
Later, his cultivation was about to break through, and he fought with this monkey, although Xu Bing had been at a disadvantage in the battle, and his body was drenched in blood from the monkey's injury, but his strength to die in order to break through made the monkey have great fear in his heart, and finally chose to leave.
Seeing this monkey again at this moment, Xu Bing also sighed in his heart, in fact, this monkey can be regarded as a kindness to himself, after all, the battle with this monkey at that time made him break through his cultivation. However, remembering the embarrassed appearance of the monkey at that time, Xu Bing touched his nose in embarrassment.
Ma Yujian, who was in front of him, smiled again after seeing the monkey's embarrassment, and shouted at the monkey, "Little monkey, come to fight with my nephew today, let her break through her cultivation, old man, I will take them away, if you are disobedient, my old man has not tasted the taste of boiling monkey brains for a long time." Ma Yujian said and stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, as if he had regarded the monkey as a delicacy.
Such words and expressions made the monkey's body tremble. Although it can't speak, it can still understand human speech, and it can understand Ma Yujian's threat, and it believes that the old man in front of him does have such strength.
In desperation, the monkey could only admit it, and after a while, he fell from the tree.
Seeing this, Ma Yujian was also very satisfied, and said, "Well, yes, you little monkey still has a bit of eyesight, and I know that I never tell lies when I know the old man."
When the monkey heard this, he was also relieved, listening to the old man's words, it was obvious that if he had just chosen to escape, he would probably be caught by the other party and cooked directly, and it was also glad that he chose to give in. It only then did it look away and look at the two people behind it.
The first thing he saw was Chen Shuyu, and when he found that the other party did not let himself feel the crisis of cultivation, he turned his head again and looked at Xu Bing's place again.
However, Xu Bing's body was blocked by Ma Yujian, and only one arm could be seen, and the monkey moved a few inches to the right in curiosity and looked at Xu Bing again.
But then, at the moment when he saw Xu Bing's appearance, the monkey was like being struck by lightning, and his whole body trembled violently for a while, and then let out an unprecedented roar, but this roar no longer had the meaning of threat and fear, but an extreme grievance, and then it turned around directly, completely forgetting the previous threat of Ma Yujian, and fled directly in the opposite direction.
