With the help of the local hunters, Ang Lee and his group of more than 200 people finally found a group of cute golden monkeys. Ang Lee used the binoculars to observe carefully, counting the number of golden monkeys in the group.
"Twenty-six. That's a lot, really a lot! We're going to be rich this time. "
After Li An finished looking at each golden monkey, he was incomparably happy. He was grinning from ear to ear. With these golden monkeys, he would be able to build a Mountain of Flowers and Fruits when he returned. In other words, it was a large fake mountain. Li An's mansion had a lot of courtyards. Just one courtyard was enough, or he could build it in the largest backyard.
"What's this? How many monkeys can we see from so far away? "
"I've never seen it, never seen it."
A few hunters whispered to each other in a low voice, appearing to be very curious.
Ang Lee naturally heard their conversation. He gently put down the binoculars in his hand and said with a smile, "This is a telescope. It can zoom in ten times. Come on! Let them experience it. "
Several guards behind him took off their binoculars and handed them to the hunters, letting them experience the feeling of clairvoyance.
Several hunters picked up the binoculars very carefully, fearing that they would break this valuable thing.
Just from the appearance, they could tell that these binoculars must be very expensive. It was a valuable item that they could not afford to buy or compensate for.
"It's clear. It's really clear."
"This is the legendary clairvoyance! It's amazing. "
"It can see so far and so clearly."
"If you bring this thing with you when hunting, you can see the prey clearly no matter how deep they hide."
Several hunters were so happy that their saliva almost flowed down. It was a pity that such a good thing could not be given to the hunters. Although it was not worth much, Ang Lee had a limited number of binoculars when he set out. The guards under him also needed this thing, so naturally, he could not give it away casually.
"Here."
After the hunters were excited for a while, they suddenly realized that they were a little rude. After all, these binoculars did not belong to them. They could not play with them all the time. After experiencing it once, they had to return it.
"How is it? It's clear enough, right? "
Ang Lee said with a smile.
"It's clear."
"Yes."
The hunters said timidly.
Ang Lee smiled, looked at the hunters, and asked, "In your opinion, how should we deploy to drive all these monkeys to the edge of the cliff and not let them run to other places?"
The tall hunter said, "That won't be difficult. We just need to block off the surrounding passages and move forward step by step. We're all familiar with the terrain, so we can split up and lead the way. We'll definitely be able to drive these golden monkeys to the edge of the cliff."
Ang Lee nodded. "Alright, let's do that. Let's begin the deployment …"
In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Li An divided the Dragon Martial Army into many groups. Each group was led by a hunter to a different area to set up an ambush. Those who weren't led by a hunter would quietly circle around the monkey to set up an ambush. They would quietly form an encirclement outside of the monkey's detection range and block off the other escape route, forcing the monkey to retreat all the way to the edge of the cliff.
Because the area was too big, each group only had about ten people. The group led by Ang Lee was no exception.
The monkeys all stayed in the trees. If they wanted to drive them away, they would not be able to do it by shouting from under the trees. The monkeys had always been dismissive of beasts that did not know how to climb trees. Since they could not climb up, they would just sit quietly on the treetops and watch them go crazy. The monkeys loved to see beasts that wanted to eat them but could not do anything about it.
Therefore, if they wanted to drive the monkeys to the edge of the cliff, they had to make the monkeys feel threatened. A threat that they would lose their lives if they did not escape as soon as possible. This threat could be an arrow or a hunter who knew how to climb trees.
Although the villagers in the vicinity rarely hunted monkeys, there were still a few hunters who occasionally hunted monkeys on a whim to show that they were better than other hunters and win the heart of a young lady.
Therefore, the monkeys were still afraid of the hunters' arrows. This was especially true for the older monkeys. It was very likely that they had experienced the crisis of being chased by the hunters. They were all survivors who had survived the hunters' arrows. Their companions might have lost their lives to the hunters' arrows. They had seen their companions killed by the hunters' arrows with their own eyes. It was easy to imagine the fear in their hearts.
Ang Lee had not used a bow for a long time. However, this was a basic skill for him. No matter how long he had not used it, he would not feel the slightest bit rusty.
After getting close enough, Ang Lee's group alerted the monkeys. From their nervous cries, it was obvious that the monkeys were nervous and uneasy.
These cries were not only to remind their companions of their nervousness, but also to warn Ang Lee's group to stay away. It could also be said that they were angry and opposed to the hunters' approach.
It was like a weak country that had been invaded. They would constantly protest and abuse the invading country. However, this would not change anything. The invading enemy would not stop their invasion, and their protests would appear to be useless and weak.
This was a world where strength spoke. Without strength, it meant that one had no right to speak. All protests and anger were useless, futile and meaningless.
At this moment, Ang Lee was equivalent to an invader. Ang Lee's goal was to capture this group of golden-haired monkeys and then raise them in his residence. Regardless of whether the monkeys were willing or not, their angry cries and protests would not change Ang Lee's original intentions. In fact, they were not even the slightest bit effective.
As Ang Lee fired a whistling arrow into the sky, the two hundred or so people's encirclement officially began. Other than the hidden troops, the rest began to close in on the monkeys step by step. They made noises and raised flags in the direction the monkeys were escaping in, causing the monkeys to feel immense pressure and have no choice but to escape in the direction of the cliff.
Of course, at the beginning, the monkeys still wanted to persist and were unwilling to escape in such a sorry state. However, Ang Lee naturally had a way to make these monkeys obediently escape.
"Give me the heavy arrows."
Ang Lee held Jiu Dan's strong bow in his left hand and took the heavy arrows from the guards with his right. He was prepared to give these monkeys a greeting gift.
"At such a distance, how is this possible …"
When the tall hunter saw Li An trying to intimidate the monkey with a bow and arrow from such a long distance away, he couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
"Ka ka ka …"
Because he used too much force, the bow in Ang Lee's hand creaked as he pulled. At this time, the strength contained in the bow was enough to bounce the heavy arrows hundreds of meters away. This strength was much greater than that of a normal bow and arrow. Naturally, the range was also much greater. With Ang Lee's skill, the accuracy of the arrows would not be bad. Although it couldn't be said to be perfect, it wasn't too far off and definitely wouldn't accidentally injure the monkeys.
"Whoosh …"
With incomparable strength, the heavy arrow quickly flew towards a large tree where the monkeys were perched. It steadily pierced into a thick branch. Because the arrow was strong enough and the arrowhead was sharp enough, after piercing into the thick branch, it directly pierced through the thick branch and came out the other side.
There were a few golden monkeys squatting on this thick branch, which really gave the little monkeys a fright.
Following that, Ang Lee continuously shot several heavy arrows, each one piercing deeply into the tree trunk and branches, very close to the monkeys. Of course, with Ang Lee's skill, he naturally wouldn't make such a low-level mistake. Ang Lee only did this because he was confident. If he wasn't, he wouldn't have dared to take such a risk.
As expected, the golden-haired monkeys were shocked. Although they were only animals, there was no way they wouldn't understand what these arrows meant. Looking at the arrow heads and straight shafts, the group of golden-haired monkeys were shocked. This was especially true for the older monkeys who had seen their companions killed by arrows with their own eyes. They were even more terrified.
With a shout, all the monkeys fled from the big tree under their feet, fleeing into the distance. Naturally, all the troops chased after them, and from time to time, they would fire a threatening arrow to force the monkeys to continue fleeing.
In the rugged mountains, the monkeys' movement speed was much faster than that of humans, and they were also much calmer. Therefore, the monkeys fled at a moderate pace, stopping from time to time to observe the situation, so that they could find a better escape route.
Monkeys weren't humans, and they didn't think too far ahead. They could only avoid wherever there was a threat, and escape to a non-threatening area. There were people in all directions, but there was no movement in the direction of the cliff. There was also a small path at the edge of the cliff, and it was completely possible to escape through it. Therefore, the group of monkeys naturally fled in the direction of the cliff without any hesitation.
Perhaps there was a trace of hope in their hearts! Perhaps it was to prevent the little monkeys from falling behind, but the group of monkeys would stop to rest for a while. Seeing that the people behind them were catching up, they continued to flee into the distance. Perhaps they thought that after a while, the hunters would give up. In addition, they were faster on the treetops. Although they were fleeing, they weren't that nervous. If these monkeys took the risk to break through from another direction, Ang Lee's plan to surround and capture them would be ruined. However, these monkeys' intelligence was obviously not that high. They didn't have the ability to analyze, and they just ran to where there was no movement.
It was said that monkeys and humans were similar in appearance, and they were both primates. However, the difference in intelligence between monkeys and humans was too great. They weren't even on the same order of magnitude. Monkeys would always be monkeys, and they couldn't be counted on to have the intelligence of humans, not even 1% of it.
At this time, they were very close to the edge of the cliff, and the tall trees were becoming fewer and fewer, leaving only some very short shrubs. These monkeys didn't realize the danger, and they continued to jump around the small trees. Soon, there was no path, and they could only come down from the trees and run along the ground. There was a small path in the distance, and as long as they crossed this path, they would enter a brand new forest. The terrain there was more complicated, and after entering the forest, their chances of escaping would be higher.
However, these cute monkeys didn't know that there were more than a dozen Dragon Martial Army soldiers with bows and arrows lying in ambush on this path. Once they entered this path, they would enter a dead end, and there was no way for them to escape.
The rest of the army closed in and sealed off the escape route of the monkeys. When more than a dozen Dragon Martial Army soldiers suddenly appeared on the path, the group of golden monkeys were frightened. They instinctively ran back, but there was no way back. More than two hundred people were pressing down on them, and the monkeys could only escape towards the protruding cliff. This was deliberately left for them to escape, so that they could be easily captured.
The space at the edge of the cliff wasn't big, and more than two hundred people pressed down on them, blocking the escape route of the monkeys. These monkeys had no hope of escaping, so they could only obediently become Ang Lee's pets.
"Haha! Finally blocked. None of these cute monkeys can escape. Let me count and see if there are twenty-six of them. "
Ang Lee happily reached out his hand to count. There were indeed twenty-six monkeys. Among them, there were six babies, and three of them hadn't been weaned yet. They were lying in the arms of their mother monkeys in fear.
"Not one less. There are twenty-six of them."
Chen Long said.
Now, the twenty-six monkeys were like turtles in a jar. Naturally, the army wasn't in a hurry. After all, they would be able to capture these monkeys soon, so waiting a little longer wouldn't hurt.
However, these little monkeys in front of them were different. Their eyes were full of fear, abnormal fear, a kind of desperate fear. They also knew that behind them was a cliff, and there were too many people in front of them. They were completely blocked. They absolutely couldn't escape from the cracks of the people. How could they not know the height of the cliff?
"Pay attention. Don't let these monkeys escape."
Chen Long ordered.
More than two hundred people moved forward steadily, and the protrusion of the cliff was less than a hundred meters wide. On average, one person was responsible for half a meter of width. With so many people, the monkeys had no chance to escape.
Seeing that there was no way to escape, the monkeys could only retreat step by step until they reached the edge of the cliff. Because there was no road behind them, the monkeys were restless, but there was nothing they could do. They had no way to solve the crisis in front of them. They could only shout anxiously, trying to make the people in front of them leave.
More than a dozen soldiers walked forward with a small net. If these monkeys refused to jump off the cliff, they would catch them one by one. Anyway, it was the same. As long as they caught them, it didn't matter what method they used.
Seeing that someone was approaching with a net, the monkeys became even more restless and started to circle back and forth. Some of the monkeys were so nervous that they directly fell off the cliff. In fact, they fell into the net below. As for the monkeys that were unwilling to jump off the cliff, they were finally caught by the soldiers with a small net. All 26 monkeys were caught in the end, which made Li An very satisfied.
