Bandit monkeys had strong bodies and were as large as elephants. Adult bandit monkeys were ten feet tall and had bulging muscles. Their upper arms were twice as thick as their lower limbs, and their tails were like iron rods that could smash mountain rocks.
Bandit monkeys had golden fur that was covered with black tiger stripes. What was strange was that fur would naturally grow from their waist, covering their crotch and tail like a leather skirt.
Howl!
This bandit monkey group's monkey king suddenly opened its huge mouth and let out a loud and clear howl.
Their howl was as forceful as a lion or tiger's.
Howl howl howl …
The monkey king's howl caused the monkeys to respond.
For a moment, the wind and clouds surged and the sound waves spread, causing the white fog to disperse by a lot.
Everyone's field of vision suddenly widened, only then did they realize that both sides of the mountain path were filled with bandit monkeys. More than a thousand bandit monkeys had surrounded the caravan.
Their bodies were huge and the trees were as tall as their heads. Some saplings only reached their waist.
At the front of the caravan, the even larger monkey king was sitting on a stone stool. A grey stone wine jar that looked like a water jar was placed beside it, emitting a strong wine fragrance.
After the monkey king howled, it closed its mouth. The other bandit monkeys were still howling.
This instead showed the monkey king's imposing manner.
Its gaze was calm and its eyes shone with brilliance as it sat motionlessly. In contrast, those ordinary bandit monkeys were staring at the caravan's goods, looking restless and eager to try.
Monkeys, foxes, lycanthropes, these wild beasts all had intelligence.
This bandit monkey king's intelligence was only comparable to a three year old child and not as good as the lightning lycanthropes, but it was smart enough to communicate.
The caravan leader Jia Long squinted his eyes and looked at the monkey king, suddenly saying: "Jia Yong, you go."
"Yes, leader." Jia Yong stood up.
He was tall and fat, with a big belly, and looked very sturdy.
He was a defense type Gu Master and his vital Gu was water armor Gu. He was a Rank two Gu Master and specialized in water battles. One time, he was swimming in the river and killed a turtle the size of a small boat. From its body, he obtained a turtle strength Gu. After using it, he gained a permanent turtle strength.
Seeing Jia Yong approaching, the monkeys' roars suddenly became louder, the sound waves shaking the forest.
Jia Yong had a solemn expression on his face. He rolled up his sleeves and stood before the Monkey King.
The Monkey King had a huge body. Even though it was sitting down, it was still a head taller than Jia Yong.
It looked at Jia Yong and roared. Immediately, several bandit monkeys carried a stone table and walked over, huffing and puffing.
The stone table was as large as a bed and extremely heavy. When it landed on the ground, a muffled sound could be heard.
Two more bandit monkeys brought over stone stools. They were placed in front of the Monkey King.
The Monkey King patted the stone table, and the banging sound was like the beating of a drum.
Jia Yong swallowed his saliva and sat down. He extended his right arm and placed his elbow on the table.
The Monkey King also stretched out his left hand and clasped his hands together.
A female bandit monkey beside him suddenly screamed.
When Jia Yong and the Monkey King heard this model, they exerted their strength at the same time and started this unique contest.
The bandit monkeys revered strength, and arm wrestling was the most important social activity among the monkeys. The little monkey could arm wrestle as soon as it was born. Arm wrestling was not only a game among the bandit monkeys, it was also a common method to resolve disputes.
Back then, the righteous Gu Master Heaven Crown Marquis only had rank five cultivation. With such strength, he naturally could not fight his way to the peak. He used this custom of the bandit monkeys to arm wrestle until he reached the peak of Fei Hou mountain and defeated the Monkey Emperor. Then, he obtained the recognition of the monkey group and made an agreement to open a trade route.
From then on, all caravans that entered and exited Fei Hou mountain had to follow this agreement and arm wrestle with the bandit monkeys.
The winner would obtain the recognition of the bandit monkeys and be exempted from tolls. The loser would have to let the monkeys take a portion of the goods.
This way, the caravans could do business and the bandit monkeys could also taste the benefits, never getting tired of it.
For many years, the caravans complied with the agreement. The trade route gradually prospered and the agreement gradually stabilized.
Beside the stone table, Jia Yong's face was flushed red and his expression was distorted. He had already used all his strength.
But he still could not resist the monkey king's strength. His arm gradually tilted to the side, and finally, with a bang, the monkey king's arm pressed down on Jia Yong.
Victory!
The monkey king stood up and happily pounded its chest with its fists.
The monkey group shouted loudly, their momentum was shocking.
Jia Yong lowered his head and retreated. On the way back, the bandit monkeys on both sides mocked him to the extreme. Some lifted their leather skirts and revealed their red buttocks, facing Jia Yong, some made faces, and some wagged their fingers.
"To think that there would be a day when I would be mocked by animals …" Jia Yong sighed helplessly, a bitter smile on his face.
Jia Long was expressionless and waved his hand behind him.
The group that belonged to the Jia Clan began to move forward. The monkeys swarmed forward and plucked the goods from the open caravans.
The Jia Clan played a trick and covered the fine coal stones with a layer of gorgeous silk and silk cloth. The monkeys' attention was attracted by the colorful cloth and they let go of the gray fine coal stones that had a higher market price.
The monkey group played wantonly. Many of them wrapped the cloth around their arms, waist, and back. The scene was extremely noisy.
"Where is Jia Ping?" Jia Long shouted in a deep voice.
Jia Ping slowly walked out. He formed a sharp contrast with Jia Yong. He was as thin as a match and seemed extremely weak.
"I have come to take revenge for you." He walked past Jia Yong and casually patted his shoulder.
"With big brother Jia Ping here, it will naturally be a piece of cake." Jia Yong cupped his fists and smiled bitterly.
Jia Clan members sighed in relief when they saw Jia Ping, showing a relieved expression.
Seeing Jia Ping's arrival, the monkey group let out strange cries filled with contempt and disdain.
The monkey king had already sat down and unconcernedly lifted the wine jar and drank a mouthful of monkey wine.
"In the end, you are still animals, judging people by their appearance." Jia Long sneered.
This Jia Ping looked thin and weak, but he actually had the strength of two bears. He only used the tendon coiling Gu, causing the tendons in his body to twist like tree roots, thus compressing his muscles.
Jia Ping sat down and stretched out his hand.
His hand was not even a quarter of the monkey king's claw. But after exerting his strength, he only lasted for a moment before he defeated the monkey king.
For a moment, the monkey group's roars stopped.
The monkey king's eyes were wide open, showing an expression of disbelief.
Jia Long chuckled and waved his hand, indicating the group to continue moving forward.
The monkeys blocking the road automatically gave way, but did not make a move. Jia Clan's group moved forward for a small distance before the monkey group called out and blocked the road again.
The monkey king patted the stone table, refusing to believe it and challenged Jia Ping.
Jia Ping had a smile on his face. Another victory.
"Everyone, I will be going first." Jia Long cupped his fists. After saying goodbye, Jia Clan's group passed this round.
"Alright, it is our Lin Clan's turn. Lin Dong! "Lin Clan's vice leader shouted.
The others did not argue, the caravan had already discussed the order.
As time passed, the caravan moved forward section by section.
To pass Fei Hou mountain and minimize losses, each clan specially nurtured many Gu Masters.
Bull strength, tiger strength, elephant strength, python strength, horse strength … Gu Masters went up one by one, each displaying their abilities, winning and losing.
Most people passed the round, and it was finally Zhang Clan's group's turn.
Zhang Zhu's expression did not look good. He was a healing type Gu Master and did not specialize in strength.
Moreover, he could only use his own strength to arm-wrestle with the monkey king and could not use Gu worms. Once discovered, it would be considered cheating and would attract the monkey group's attack.
In this Zhang Clan caravan, other than him, a Rank three, there were no other Gu Masters. Thus, in the caravan, his strength was at the bottom.
Shang Xin Ci's life in Zhang Clan was not good, and as an illegitimate child, she was ostracized. Especially after her mother passed away, the situation became even worse.
According to her mother's will, Shang Xin Ci sold her family assets and established this caravan.
Many Zhang Clan members wished for this disgrace of the clan to die outside. Thus, they did not send any Gu Masters in.
"Uncle Zhang Zhu, don't worry, they are just some goods. As long as you are here, it's fine. "Shang Xin Ci was very attentive, noticing Zhang Zhu's expression, she softly consoled him.
"Finally, only Zhang Clan is left."
"Tsk tsk, no need to look, they are bound to lose. I know that Zhang Zhu better. "
"Zhang Clan's caravan is said to be organized by Zhang Clan's girl. Thus, only Zhang Zhu is left to keep up appearances. "
Many Gu Masters stood behind the round, looking over with the thought of watching a show.
They had more or less lost some goods, so their moods were naturally not good.
Comparison produces happiness, unlucky people would often feel better after seeing even more unlucky people.
Many people looked towards Zhang Clan's caravan, seeking comfort in their hearts.
"The goods are dead, human lives are more important. Uncle Zhang Zhu, you don't need to go up, we can let the monkey group take the goods. "Shang Xin Ci said.
"Sigh, Miss doesn't know. If we don't compete, we won't be able to pass. These monkeys are stubborn, we have to wrestle. Miss, even if we lose, we can't lose. We can't let others look down on us, I will go now! "Zhang Zhu cupped his fists, bracing himself to go up.
"Wait!" Right at this time, Fang Yuan came out from the crowd.
"Miss Zhang, you've saved my life before. Let me go this time. "He cupped his fists.
"With just you?" Servant Xiao Die rolled her eyes, "It's already this time, you are not a Gu Master, don't add to the mess!"
Shang Xin Ci also smiled: "Hei Tu, I appreciate your intention. This is not a joke, the monkey king has great strength, didn't you see the Gu Masters in front have broken bones? "
"Miss, even if I break bones, I will still repay you." Fang Yuan insisted.
"How can you be like this, you don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. If you break bones, it would be my family's miss who needs to treat you. "Xiao Die waved her hand in disgust," Don't come and make trouble, okay? "
"Miss Zhang, you don't know. My strength has surpassed ordinary people since I was young, even adults didn't have as much strength as me. This time, I will definitely go! "Saying so, Fang Yuan turned around and walked towards the monkey king.
"Hei Tu!" Shang Xin Ci wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Zhang Zhu.
"Miss, he is not an idiot, he definitely has the confidence to stand up. Sometimes, we need to believe in others. "Zhang Zhu persuaded.
In fact, he had no confidence in Fang Yuan. He only felt that it was good to take this chance to teach this mortal a lesson.
"Yi, look, the Zhang Clan actually sent out a servant!"
"Haha, Zhang Clan has no one, so they sent a servant to embarrass themselves?"
