The old monkey led a group of people and continued to walk into the village. The monkeys who had gone out returned to their wives and children. Xiao Bin, who saw this scene, clicked his tongue in wonder.
As they walked, they suddenly saw a huge statue of a giant bear with the head of a monkey.
Wei Huo was curious. "What is this?"
The old monkey bowed deeply before the statue and said, "This is the Saint who brought our monkey civilization. Legend has it that he has a monkey's head and a bear's body. He taught us how to hunt, plant, and produce in the birthplace of our monkeys. Most importantly, he enlightened us with wisdom. It can be said that without this Saint, there would be no monkeys like us now." Wei Huo looked at the huge statue silently and felt emotional.
Wei Huo looked at the huge statue silently and felt a myriad of emotions in his heart. 500 years had passed just like that. Even if there was something left behind, it would have changed beyond recognition a long time ago.
The old monkey suddenly slammed its walking stick hard, and the ground shook. Soon, a group of little monkeys ran over with plates of fruits.
"This is our staple food, rice peaches. They're very sweet. Try them, dear guests." The old monkey pointed at a peach about the size of a lychee. Wei Huo took one and threw it into his mouth.
Wei Huo took one and threw it into his mouth. As soon as he bit down, the juice splashed in his mouth. The juice was sweet and delicious, and it was full of water. After swallowing the pulp, a cool aura surrounded his body. It was very comfortable. It would be even better if he ate it in summer.
The Tree-Man picked up a plate and poured it all into his mouth. He was too huge, and the plate of rice peaches was not enough to fill his teeth.
Xiao Bin tasted one too. It was so sweet that he could not speak.
The little monkeys served seven to eight types of fruits. Each of them tasted good and contained strong energy. They could be considered natural treasures. Wei Huo had an idea.
Wei Huo had an idea. "Do you trade the seedlings and seeds of these fruits? I can trade them with other things. "The old monkey laughed out loud.
"There are so many wild things in the mountains. There's no harm in giving you some. However, I'm very curious about your experiences along the way. I originally planned to travel around the world and witness all kinds of miracles, but I can't leave the monkeys unless a second Epic-ranked creature is born. I'm very curious about this world!"
During the conversation, the Tree-Man started telling his story. He used the imposing aura to spread information. As long as one was at the Epic stage, they would be able to understand the information.
Xiao Bin did not have the imposing aura, so he did not understand what the three of them were saying.
Wei Huo also tried to use this method to condense enough information and send it out with the imposing aura. This was a brand new communication method that was more efficient than language and words.
Which Epic-ranked creature had not lived for hundreds of years? If a story was told verbally, how long would it take? It was much faster to use the imposing aura to transmit information.
It was like compressing information in a computer and transmitting it over the Internet. The speed depended on the proficiency and strength of an Epic-ranked expert in using the imposing aura. Something that could not be explained in words for three days and three nights could be done in three minutes using the imposing aura.
Not only could it transmit language, but it could also transmit words, images, videos, smells, and sensations.
Wei Huo, the Tree-Man, and the old monkey were communicating with the imposing aura. Xiao Bin did not know what they were talking about, but he did not dare interrupt them. He just ate quietly and finished the plate of peaches.
At this time, a little monkey walked up with a plate. This time, the plate was filled with marble-sized bird eggs. Moreover, they were raw bird eggs.
The old monkey said, "These are the eggs of the Cuckoo Bird we raised. Try it. This is a delicacy that you will never be able to taste!"
The three of them did not move, mainly because they did not know how to eat it. The Tree-Man's mouth was too big, so they could not taste anything. Xiao Bin was not used to eating raw. The old monkey demonstrated to the three of them. It picked up an egg and threw it into its mouth to chew.
It ate the eggshell together. Wei Huo was curious.
Wei Huo was curious. "Did you raise birds and let them lay eggs?"
Apart from your appearance, what else are you different from humans?
The old monkey nodded. "That's right. Hundreds of years ago, a group of cuckoo birds came to Monkey Mountain. At the time, I wasn't at the Epic-ranked stage yet. We planned to kill them all and steal all their eggs. However, a monkey appeared among us. It said that not only could we not kill them, but we had to protect them and leave one egg behind every time we threw them."
Xiao Bin was shocked. Only then did he understand that this was how the monkeys had given birth to civilization.
At that moment, a group of monkeys arrived at the square with small bronze drums. They were about the size of Lao Gan Ma's glass jars. They were made of brass and covered with pig skin. They were made into a small wooden stick that would make a drum sound when it was beaten.
Upon seeing this, even Wei Huo and the Tree-Man were shocked, let alone Xiao Bin.
The Tree-Man asked in shock, "Is this the legendary musical instrument?"
A few monkeys ran out of the group of monkeys. They started doing somersaults, doing handstands, and jumping. They seemed to be unable to keep up with the beat, but there was a pattern to it.
"Scary!" Xiao Bin frowned.
"Interesting!" The Tree-Man was happy.
"That's right," Wei Huo said calmly.
After the three of them were done talking, Wei Huo indicated that he wanted to visit the monkey village. The old monkey welcomed him. The tree walked to the entrance of the village. It was not interested in visiting. It was thinking about musical instruments, songs, and dances alone.
Wei Huo and Xiao Bin visited the monkey village. Xiao Bin said softly, "These monkeys are too scary. They are almost the same as humans. If we give them another few hundred years, will they drive spaceships everywhere? But the good thing is that they are quite friendly. "
"Friendly?" Wei Huo stopped in his tracks and asked, "If it weren't for the Tree-Man and me, and you were the only one who encountered the monkeys, what do you think would have happened?"
Xiao Bin was stunned.
Wei Huo then asked, "Let me ask you another question. If you were an Epic-ranked expert and the old monkey king was dead, what would you do now?"
Xiao Bin fell silent.
Wei Huo said, "Why did the old monkey say that it could not leave the monkeys before the second Epic-ranked creature was born? That's because once it leaves, the monkeys might be destroyed today!"
Xiao Bin thought about it for a long time and said, "I understand. There is no good or evil in this world, only the strong and the weak. All the creatures and people we've encountered have been very kind to us. That's because you're strong enough, Brother Wei."
