It was smart enough and seemed to understand human behavior very well. This long-clawed monkey seemed to know a lot.
Shao Xuan stared at the long-clawed monkey, staring at it until all of its hair almost stood up.
It originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but it didn't expect to fall into Shao Xuan's hands. The long-clawed monkey was now very scared. It was still okay when it was caught by those people. It still had the confidence to think of various ways to escape. However, facing Shao Xuan, it felt a lot of pressure.
After holding back for a long time, the long-clawed monkey let out a vague cry, as if it was still quibbling.
"Not giving it?" Shao Xuan glanced at the long-clawed monkey. "Fine, I'll just kill you."
Seeing that Shao Xuan was about to use his knife, the long-clawed monkey became anxious. It let out a few hurried screams. Its eyes were full of pleading as it looked at Shao Xuan. Its eyes reflected light, as if they were full of stars. People who saw these eyes would inexplicably feel a soft feeling in their heart.
Shao Xuan was also shaken for a moment, but soon he knew that this was a psychological attack. This long-clawed monkey had a lot of cards up its sleeve!
Sure enough, seeing that Shao Xuan recovered in the blink of an eye, the long-clawed monkey's eyes changed. Its eyes that were like a vast starry sky suddenly brewed a storm like a hurricane. Its face also became ferocious. It opened its mouth wide, revealing two rows of teeth. Four long fangs filled the surrounding air with a bloody aura. If the long-clawed monkey's eyes were as bright and clear as a child's, then now it was like an evil spirit in a scorching hell.
Such a sudden change would cause a psychological impact and pressure on people. In the face of such a change, some timid people would be scared out of their wits and would be affected for a long time. Their behavior would also be affected due to panic and make mistakes.
Shao Xuan slightly stepped back, but he didn't panic. He raised his hand and placed it not far from the long-clawed monkey's forehead. Under the fierce gaze of the long-clawed monkey, a blue flame emerged from his palm.
The long-clawed monkey's ghost-like expression stiffened, and the viciousness in its eyes completely disappeared, leaving only fear. A sharp cry came from its throat as it tried its best to move its legs to avoid Shao Xuan's palm. It wanted to leave this place, but it was bound by the vines and couldn't break free. It couldn't run at all.
"What do you think? The choice is up to you. If you tell me honestly, I can let you go. But if you still want to hide it, then don't blame me, "Shao Xuan said.
This time, the long-clawed monkey didn't have the slightest bit of wishful thinking. It knew what that flame was, but it didn't expect to see it in the forest. It was extremely disgusted and afraid of that blue flame. Humming and trembling, as if it had made up its mind, the long-clawed monkey adjusted its posture. Its stomach swelled and contracted, as if something was squirming inside. Then, something not much bigger than an adult's fist rolled out of the monkey's mouth.
Shao Xuan frowned as he tore off a leaf from a nearby tree. He picked up the thing that rolled out and wiped off the mucus on the outside.
"Fruit?" Shao Xuan was puzzled.
Because the fruit had a thick layer of skin, even if it was swallowed by the long-clawed monkey, it wasn't digested.
After wiping off the outer layer of dirt, a faint fragrance came out. It wasn't strong, but it was intoxicating.
Although he didn't know what it was, the previous behavior of the five people and the long-clawed monkey's painful expression told Shao Xuan that this fruit was very special. Whether it was for humans or berserk beasts, it would certainly have great benefits.
While Shao Xuan was observing the fruit, the long-clawed monkey was restless. From time to time, it quickly glanced at Shao Xuan, but it didn't dare to look directly at him. Its claws dug into the ground, but it didn't dare to directly stretch out its claws. It was afraid that Shao Xuan would really cut off its claws.
"Those people were looking for this?" Shao Xuan held the fruit and looked at the long-clawed monkey.
The long-clawed monkey nodded again and again.
Shao Xuan nodded, and then under the reluctant gaze of the long-clawed monkey, he wrapped the fruit in clean leaves and put it in his animal skin bag.
Seeing Shao Xuan looking at itself again, the long-clawed monkey quickly withdrew its gaze from the fruit. Its body curled up and looked at Shao Xuan eagerly, waiting for Shao Xuan to fulfill his promise.
Shao Xuan didn't really want to enslave this long-clawed monkey. He didn't plan to enslave a second slave. He didn't know much about slavery. After inquiring about Ji Ju's words, he found that there were a lot of things involved. If he didn't pay attention, he might get himself into trouble. For things that he didn't know much about, Shao Xuan still treated with a cautious attitude.
Picking up the stone knife, under the frightened eyes of the long-clawed monkey, Shao Xuan waved it.
The long-clawed monkey, who closed its eyes in fear, felt the bindings on its body loosen. It suddenly opened its eyes, and a flash of joy appeared in its eyes. For a moment, it thought about whether or not to grab the fruit back, but it still rejected the idea. This person was different from the people it had met before. It was lucky to escape this time. If it were to court death again, it would probably become this person's food.
No longer thinking about it, the long-clawed monkey suppressed the emotions in its heart. It was about to leave when it heard Shao Xuan say, "Wait a minute."
The long-clawed monkey's footsteps stiffened. It turned around like a rusty robot, wondering if Shao Xuan was going back on his word.
"Do you know the Yanjiao tribe?" Shao Xuan asked.
The long-clawed monkey was stunned by this question, and then it raised its hand and pointed in a direction with some doubts. It made a "Squeak" sound, as if it didn't understand why Shao Xuan said this. Instead, it asked Shao Xuan if he was pointing in the direction of the Yanjiao tribe. It had seen the Yanjiao people and could feel that Shao Xuan and the Yanjiao people's breath were similar, so it was confused after hearing Shao Xuan's words.
"In that direction?" Shao Xuan looked, and it was consistent with the route he had decided on.
"Squeak!" The long-clawed monkey vigorously nodded. No matter what Shao Xuan meant, it just nodded.
"Okay, you can go." Shao Xuan waved his hand.
This time, the long-clawed monkey didn't leave step by step. Instead, it fiercely kicked its legs, and its figure flashed and disappeared. It ran very eagerly, and secretly decided that if it saw Shao Xuan in the future, it would take a detour.
After sorting out his things, Shao Xuan continued on his way.
The five people that Shao Xuan got rid of, after meeting up with their companions, looked around the forest, but didn't see Shao Xuan's figure. Seeing that the time set by the chief was getting closer and closer, they could only go back with a belly full of unwillingness.
They were the people of the Taihe tribe, which was adjacent to the Yanjiao tribe's territory. Quarrels were common. If the thing was stolen by someone else, it would be fine, but it just had to be a Yanjiao person, so they felt very sullen.
When the team that went out to hunt down the long-clawed monkey returned to the Taihe tribe, they told the chief and other elders that the operation had failed, and that the thing was stolen by a Yanjiao person. As expected, whether it was the chief or the several elders, they all had a belly full of sullen anger.
Previously, when a warrior of their tribe went out to hunt, he found a rare fruit that was about to ripen in the forest, but there were many fierce beasts lying in ambush around. With only two or three people, it was impossible to safely snatch it, so they immediately returned to the tribe and secretly told the chief.
The fruit was a kind of fruit that could gently improve the strength of a warrior. It was very rare because there were many animals in the forest that liked the fruit. The fruit was also very good for their improvement. Moreover, the smell of the fruit was very light, and the animals in the forest had a much more sensitive sense of smell than humans. Perhaps they could detect the movement of the fruit from thousands of miles away, but humans couldn't. This was also the reason why these animals could always find the fruit before humans. The reason why the fruit was rare was that after many fruits ripened, they would be snatched by various fierce beasts before humans could find them.
Historical experience and lessons taught the people of the Taihe tribe that after finding a good thing, the first thing to guard against was not the various fierce beasts lurking around the fruit, but their barbaric neighbor, the Yanjiao tribe. Therefore, in order to get the fruit back, after the chief and several elders of the Taihe tribe discussed with each other, they didn't make this matter public. Instead, they secretly sent a team to carefully avoid the sight of the Yanjiao tribe and secretly went to the place where the fruit was located. They would wait for the fruit to ripen and snatch it back. It just so happened that the Yanjiao tribe was in the middle of a hunting activity, so they didn't notice the movements of the Taihe tribe.
Unfortunately, when the people of the Taihe tribe were snatching the fruit, a very fast long-clawed monkey was one step ahead of them and swallowed the fruit. Therefore, two of them went back to the tribe to inform the chief of this matter, while the others chased after the long-clawed monkey. However, the long-clawed monkey was very fast in the forest, and it was very difficult for them to track it. They chased and chased and lost it, so they had to divide into several small teams to search for it.
The large forest was far away from the tribe, and the environment was relatively unfamiliar, so it was difficult for them to find it. Finally, the five people heard the movement and rushed over. They found the long-clawed monkey, but unfortunately, they couldn't snatch it.
Looking for the fruit, it was snatched by the long-clawed monkey.
Catching the long-clawed monkey, it was snatched by the Yanjiao tribe.
Snatching it from the Yanjiao tribe, they lost.
Snatching it, they couldn't snatch it.
Fight? They couldn't beat it.
They tried to guard against it, but in the end, they still couldn't guard against the Yanjiao tribe! How could they not be angry?
A gray-haired elder of the Taihe tribe felt the fire on his head, and his beard was sticking up. He pointed at the people who came back and scolded them, and finally concluded, "You can't even beat a Yanjiao tribe!"
The people who were being scolded lowered their heads, and thought in their hearts, "What do you mean by 'can't even beat a Yanjiao tribe'? Is it easy to beat a Yanjiao tribe? It's easy to say, but why don't you fight? Aren't you the same old man from Yanjiao every time? "
They only dared to think about it, but didn't dare to say it out loud. Not being able to beat a Yanjiao tribe was indeed not something to be proud of. Clearly, their tribe had more people than the Yanjiao tribe, so why was it that the Taihe tribe suffered most of the time?
And on the Yanjiao tribe's side, after a fierce hunting activity, the team also brought the prey back to the tribe. Along the way, they met a few old rivals of the Taihe tribe. Hearing the other party's sarcastic and sarcastic words, the leader of the team was baffled. He knew every word of the other party's words, but why couldn't he understand when they were connected?
Were these Taihe people crazy?
