Crossing the wilderness to survive, starting with a broken kitchen knife.

Zhang Shi used the same trick again, flashing behind an ordinary mandrill and killing it. The mandrill leader was once again left empty-handed.

After being repeatedly teased by Zhang Shi, the leader of the mandrills felt insulted and even more furious. However, unlike the other beasts, it didn't rush forward recklessly. Instead, it used its brains and turned to run towards the soldiers.

If I can't catch you, I will catch your men. This is called tit for tat.

Elsewhere, Zhao Feng, wielding a great axe, was engaged in a fierce battle among a pack of mandrills when a powerful punch came crashing down on him like a cannonball. Zhao Feng sensed the danger, but didn't flinch. He also exerted all his strength, sweeping the axe across and striking the heavy punch.

With a resounding "duang," Zhao Feng's axe flew out of his hand, and his body was sent flying with tremendous force. The mandrill leader screamed miserably, and a deep wound appeared on his palm, deep enough to see the bone, and blood was flowing out.

Seeing this, Zhang Shi quickly dodged behind the leader of the mandrills, intending to kill him with a single blow. However, the monkey was well prepared. As soon as Zhang Shi dodged, he was struck by one of its green palms, sending him flying. Zhang Shi collapsed to the ground, feeling excruciating pain and unable to move. He hadn't been prepared for this sudden attack, and if it weren't for the protection of his black light armor, his bones would have shattered.

Zhao Feng, who was standing by, was not seriously injured. He was helped up by the soldiers, took a few deep breaths, and mentally calculated how many times he had flown out in the past few days.

The mandrill leader succeeded in his attack and attempted to follow up to finish off Zhang Shi. The soldiers nearby concentrated their firepower, firing countless muskets at it. The steel balls, carrying powerful kinetic energy, struck the unsuspecting mandrill leader, leaving blood and flesh flying everywhere. Countless holes appeared on its back, and it howled in pain, but it did not stop.

Seeing the situation dire, Zhao Feng recklessly hurled his axe at the mandrill leader, but it was clearly too late. At the crucial moment, the tiger head on Zhang Shi's black light armor flashed with a dazzling light. Pipi transformed into a streak of light, emerging from the White Tiger dimension and slamming into the mandrill leader's legs. The leader lost his balance and fell to the ground, where the flint axe followed, striking him squarely on the buttocks. Instantly, a deafening scream echoed throughout the forest, frightening the mandrills into abandoning their attack and fleeing.

Zhang Shi's eyes lit up. Enduring the pain, he left a shadow behind him, then flashed to the back of the mandrill leader and slashed with his sword, neatly severing a thick hind leg. The mandrill leader, in agony, lashed out frantically, but Zhang Shi had already flashed away. Then came the fatal triple-strike arrow from the shadow. The mandrill leader didn't dodge or evade. The arrow struck its chest, the energy bolt easily shattering its chest, sending a shower of blood down its spine.

Before the baboon leader could react, Zhang Shi completed the transformation with the shadow in an instant, and then moved as fast as the wind. Old Duan flashed with a cold light and cut off the baboon leader's head with one knife.

Seeing their leader dead, the remaining mandrills climbed up the trees and retreated in panic. Zhang Shi squatted on the ground, panting, while Pipi licked his visor worriedly.

Zhang Shi took out some food and medicine from his backpack and swallowed it in one gulp. His pain immediately eased a lot. Although he could still feel bursts of pain, it no longer affected his movements.

Zhao Feng walked forward, shook off the blood on the axe, put it away, and turned to look at Zhang Shi.

"Shi Tou, how are you? Are you seriously injured? Are you in any trouble?"

Zhang Shi looked at the still energetic Zhao Feng, feeling somewhat envious of his physique. Zhao Feng had flown countless times in the past two days, but he always recovered after a short rest, a true blood cow.

Zhang Shi looked at the baboon leader, and with a thought, the huge corpse was automatically transformed into a collectible trophy by the system.

[Mandrill's Token (Green) x1: A special token dropped after killing the Mandrill leader. With four tokens, you can summon the rare BOSS, the Mandrill King.]

[Monkey Wine 1kg (Green) x 1: This wine is made from crushed fruits. It can enhance physical strength and resistance to blows, and quickly recover from injuries.]

The mountain-sized mandrill leader only dropped these two items, and Zhao Feng was quite dissatisfied.

"This thing is much harder to deal with than zombies of the same level. Why is it so stingy that it didn't drop anything useful?"

Zhang Shi picked up the leather bag containing monkey wine and smelled it. A rich fruity aroma hit his nose. Zhang Shi's mouth immediately became salivating. He quickly took off his mask and took a big gulp of wine.

The wine, upon entering his mouth, was as sweet as fruit pulp. As Zhang Shi swallowed it, it transformed into a warm current, slowly flowing down his esophagus into his stomach. Zhang Shi felt a sense of relief, his pain vanishing. A surge of energy surged from his lower abdomen, and his body suddenly felt full of vitality.

"Brother Feng, try it, this thing is even more awesome than spiritual energy!"

Zhao Feng took a sip out of curiosity and felt a surge of endless energy. He quickly downed another half-pack of wine. A moment later, Zhao Feng's face flushed, and he fidgeted. He stroked his axe with both hands, eager to charge into the pack of mandrills and slaughter them all. Unfortunately, the mandrills had already dispersed, so Zhao Feng could only rush into a dense forest, axe in hand, to chop down trees and vent his energy.

The medicine in the monkey wine was too strong. Zhang Shi guessed that he had drunk too much at one time, so he snatched the wine bag back, found the injured soldiers, and fed each of them a small sip of the wine to heal their wounds.

Soon, the soldiers stood up again with vigor and energy, and Zhang Shi felt relieved.

Elsewhere, Zhao Feng had already cleared a small patch of trees, creating a wide path for everyone. Seeing his complexion return to normal, Zhang Shi pulled him back and prepared to continue exploring deeper into the forest.

"Judging from the number and size of these mandrills, there shouldn't be any other particularly powerful beasts nearby."

Zhang Shi deduced that this should be the territory of the mandrill tribe, and there should be quite a few elite monsters like the Hulk.

"This elite monster is quite difficult to defeat. The final boss it summons must be extremely powerful. In my opinion, it would be safer for us to send people over."

Zhao Feng had a very clear understanding of the strength of the mandrill leader. He knew that ordinary soldiers would be unable to make any difference against this elite monster, no matter how many of them there were.

Zhang Shi thought about it for a while and shook his head.

Although the protective light curtain is still effective, a trustworthy person still needs to be left at home and in the mining area to guard them. After all, the wilderness world is in a special period now, and all forces are expanding rapidly. Zhang Shi is worried that if they all go out, their home will be robbed by accident.
