Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

"Chirp chirp..."

"Squeak..."

Wu Xie, who was envisioning a wonderful retirement, was startled by a somewhat jarring sound. Looking up, she saw several large monkeys with gray-black fur appear in her field of vision.

Suddenly, Wu Xie thought of the bandit monkey troop that should have appeared at this time and come to steal their equipment.

He had initially thought that the bandits' scenes might have been stolen by the golden monkey troop, but they still appeared.

These newly appeared monkeys were at least twice the size of the golden monkeys around them. Their gray-black fur was somewhat unkempt and they looked dirty. Their faces were contorted and they bared their teeth, making them less endearing than the elegant golden monkeys around them.

(Emei Mountain bandits VS snow-covered golden monkeys, come and choose your pick!)

Several large monkeys approached while making fierce chirping sounds, carrying a warning and a sense of expulsion. Their voices were sharp and piercing, and they seemed to be quite afraid of the golden monkeys.

The golden monkeys, who had been obediently clutching their peaches, became wary and carefully placed their precious peaches next to Su Li after the appearance of these larger monkeys. They then turned around and warned the approaching monkeys.

Looking at the two sides in front of him... well, the difference in height and build between the monkeys and horses, Wu Xie secretly felt a pang of worry for his own team of golden monkeys.

Both sides are named "Monkey," but why do they look a bit like a triad member's "Black Hair" versus a well-behaved schoolboy's "Yellow Hair"?

Judging from their imposing presence, the golden monkey team is likely to suffer a loss.

Both sides are currently in a standoff, and Wu Xie doesn't dare to make any big moves for fear of escalating the conflict. He secretly puts his hands behind his back and takes out the big white dog leg.

Seeing that their warnings had no effect on the golden monkeys, the large monkeys became visibly anxious and their voices grew increasingly shrill as they drew closer.

The piercing cry was extremely penetrating, carrying far through the mountains and forests and echoing for a long time.

At the same time, calls of the same frequency came from the distant mountains and forests, as if responding to the large monkeys.

It's obvious that the other side, sensing the situation was turning against them, was trying to call in reinforcements... oops, I mean, monkeys...

"Old Wu, hurry, hurry! They're calling for monkeys, a troop of monkeys!!!"

Startled by the distant shouts, Lao Yang dropped to the ground, as if he had thought of something that terrified him. He grabbed Wu Xie and tried to run away.

Unfortunately, it couldn't be pulled...

Wu Xie watched the approaching troop of monkeys warily, ignoring Lao Yang's tugging.

At this moment, Su Li, who maintained his weak persona, was like a classmate who was about to fight, and he was the weak little brother watching over someone's schoolbag, squatting on the side protecting the peaches that the golden monkey had given him.

He must have been craving it, because while Lao Yang wasn't paying attention, he took out a peach and started eating it himself.

He was watching the show openly and honestly, but he was practically invisible to the bandit monkeys; they didn't even glance in his direction.

Perhaps sensing that reinforcements were on their way, the large monkeys visibly gained more confidence, stopped probing, and suddenly sped up, charging towards Wuxie...

Lao Yang didn't expect that this group of fierce monkeys would come directly towards Wu Xie. He originally wanted to pull Wu Xie away again, but he didn't dare to go forward. Instead, he trembled and found a large rock to hide behind.

Innocent: ? ? ? ?

Wait, something's not right. Why are they coming for me? Aren't you guys fighting?

Obviously not, these big monkeys' target is Wuxie.

The two groups of monkeys switched from a standoff to an offensive and defensive stance, and their target was Wuxie.

Several golden monkeys seemed to be protecting our crystal, and pounced on the big monkey the moment it got close.

Don't let their cute appearance in front of Wu Xie and Su Li fool you; these golden monkeys may seem adorable and eager to be petted and given fruit, but they can be quite formidable when it comes to fighting.

Despite their large size difference, they fought back and forth, their sharp claws no less formidable than those of the larger monkeys, each strike leaving a bloody mark.

Monkeys may be born with a speed advantage, making them extremely fast fighters. The rapid clash between black and gold is quite visually striking.

In just five or six minutes of fighting, surprisingly, the smaller golden monkey had a slight advantage.

Perhaps it was the boost from Wu Xie's pat on the head yesterday, imbued with the spirit of beast taming, that made the golden monkeys feel exceptionally alert today.

Golden monkeys' agile movement allows them to effectively dodge attacks from sharp claws and even launch counterattacks.

Unfortunately, their good fortune didn't last long. Just as the golden monkeys had subdued the larger monkeys, the troop of monkeys that had been attracted by the larger monkeys' cries appeared before them.

Seeing the gray-black figure leaping and approaching through the shadows of the trees not far away, Wu Xie stood up and gripped the sharp blade in his hand tightly.

He drew his knife and charged forward the moment the monkeys approached.

The results of this period of training are now put to the test, and the blade reflects a silver light under the sunlight.

A silver light mixed with a hint of blood flashed before Wu Xie's eyes, and warm liquid splashed onto his face.

In the blink of an eye, the monkey, who had just fiercely charged forward, was already clutching its bleeding right arm and letting out a sharp, painful howl.

The severed claws, still in a scratching motion, lay on the ground, staining the surrounding grass with blood.

The feeling of cutting flesh with a sharp blade was unpleasant, even though it was just a monkey; its humanoid appearance still made Wu Xie somewhat uncomfortable.

However, he didn't have much time to react. The first monkeys to arrive at the battlefield ignored their companions who were being beaten by the golden monkeys, and were not intimidated by the sight of their companions with broken claws. They pounced on Wuxie the moment they arrived.

The increasing number of monkeys joining Wuxie is also putting more and more pressure on him. What happened to the supposed animal preference?

Hmm... how can prioritizing attacks not be considered a form of favoritism?

Just like when people like something, some people's liking is appreciation and care, while others' liking is about possessing and destroying it.

In the eyes of some animals, favoritism can also be interpreted as wanting to eat you...

For a monkey with bandit-like habits, if you like it, you'll definitely pack it up and take it away, even if you tear it into pieces and take it away...

Wu Xie, who was already struggling to cope, suddenly felt a flash of golden light in front of him. A large monkey that had just approached him was pounced two meters away by a golden monkey that suddenly appeared, and the two monkeys quickly started fighting.

Not only did the adult monkeys receive reinforcements, but the golden snub-nosed monkey troop, who were already reluctant to part with their precious darlings, were also nearby and quickly arrived at the battlefield upon hearing their companions' calls.

Without even needing to react, they charged straight at the big monkey.

The tribes living in the Qinling Mountains had probably clashed many times, and the fighting between the two sides became increasingly fierce. With the addition of Wuxie, who was wielding a sharp blade, the scene became increasingly bloody.
