Chapter 611: Chapter 280: Upper Six_1

"Generally speaking, wild demons have a very strong sense of territory,"

Sitting in the grass with his notebook, Xiao Xiao stared at the green demon’s fire as he analyzed at a steady pace. "Whenever any two different wild demons encounter each other, there is bound to be a fight to the death. Thus, all different wild demons pay great attention to concepts such as boundaries and territories."

"Just like when we first discovered upon landing, the groups of wild demons we found during the divination were distributed far apart all around us. No two groups were living together."

"But now, this area, originally belonging to the vine monster, has been subjected to a series of unwelcome visitors..."

"Perhaps it’s because other demons knew that the vine monster was burned to death and they came to seize its territory?" Zhang Ji Xin suggested a highly believable guess.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Zheng Qing interrupted their discussions, saying seriously, "But we should speculate about this matter with the worst assumption... to face the worst-case scenario."

"The worst-case scenario is that we attracted these wild demons," Xiao Xiao naturally followed up and added, "This means that our current situation is extremely, extremely dangerous."

"If I remember correctly, the desire of demons for wizards is consistent, isn’t it?" Xin Fat Man hesitated before he raised a constructive disagreement, "Just like when we’re hungry and need to eat or thirsty and want to drink, demons chasing the scent of wizards should not be considered unusual..."

"Would you trust your safety to such a speculative guess?" Xiao Xiao retorted.

Both Zhang Ji Xin and Xin shook their heads immediately.

"All in all, the situation is a bit strange." Zheng Qing spoke again, further analyzing, "Remember before we entered, we all applied ointment that eliminates the scent of wizards on our bodies. Moreover, everyone carries a talisman that conceals mental waves and energy. Normally, the wild demons should not be able to detect our scent..."

"Let’s discuss this topic later." Zhang Ji Xin suddenly interrupted Zheng Qing’s analysis, looking nervously into the distance, murmured, "I wonder if I’m seeing things... Blue Bird, see if there’s a shadow on that Soharu tree?"

The Swordsman, who had been shutting his eyes to rest outside the discussion circle, opened his eyes and glanced in the direction indicated by Zhang Ji Xin.

"Monkey demon."

Blue Bird replied briefly, meanwhile he lifted the long sword in front of him, slowly untied the cloth strip on it.

The others looked at each other, rendered speechless.

With the swaying of the tree canopy not far away, soon, everyone could see the face of the monkey demon clearly.

It was a short grey macaque with a red face and a half-length tail, and it was well-proportioned. If not for its bloody red eyes, it would not have differed from a normal macaque.

"Where are the other monkeys?" Xiao Xiao looked left and right in surprise, "It should be a kind of gregarious creature, why do I only see one monkey?! Could it be a pioneering scout?"

"Whether it’s one or two, it’s a big problem," Zheng Qing took a stack of talismans out of his gray cloth bag, thought for a moment, put them back, and then took out a slingshot and a Fu bullet."

Considering the likelihood of more demons appearing soon, Zheng Qing must find a way to reduce the consumption of magic and spirit. Hence, he had to use this weapon that is still being tested.

"Doctor, be in charge of divination and further observation."

"Swordsman, search around for defense, also serving as the backup team."

"Fat Man, Elder, you two sweep left and right... Let me first drive that monkey down."

After assigning the tasks, Zheng Qing put a ’Binding Spell’ Fu bullet into the leather bag of the slingshot, slowly pulled back the elastic band, and aimed at the tall Soharu tree not far away.

"It feels like our positions in the hunting team have become completely chaotic," Zhang Ji Xin whispered in Fat Man’s ear, "I don’t feel like the main hunter, and the Swordsman doesn’t seem like a hunting assistant either."

"Survival is what matters." Fat Man shrugged.

Zheng Qing’s ears twitched, forcibly blocking the noise coming from both sides. Then he squinted his left eye and opened his equally red right eye - it might have been an illusion, but he found his vision in it seemed to be getting better recently – as he strove to aim at the monkey in the tree canopy.

"Protect the right life!" He prayed softly as his fingers let go, the light green bullet drawing a beautiful arch in the air before accurately hitting a branch of the Soharu tree.

"Pah!"

The Fu bullet shattered, creating a ring of green halo.

A large vine rushed out from the center of the halo, winding around the branches a couple of times before suddenly attacking the observing monkey.

"The accuracy is quite good." Zheng Qing nodded in satisfaction. As he felt the depletion of his spirit strength and magic power, he was increasingly satisfied, "It seems I’ll have to devote more time to this in the future."

On the Soharu tree...

The Monkey demon was startled by the vine, jumped up suddenly, trying to distance itself from the dangerous tree crown.

However, the emerging vine showed no hesitation. As if it had a mind of its own, the tip of the vine split into two, then four, and in the blink of an eye, branched out into many strands that formed a dense net of vines, swooping down onto the monkey demon in mid-air.

"Chee ya!!"

The Monkey demon screeched as it was trapped by the net of vines and pulled down from the tree.

"That was too easy... It feels less troublesome than a regular monkey," Xin Fat Man, not knowing when he had taken out a dried beef strip, commented vaguely as he chewed.

"Stay alert!" Zhang Ji Xin glared at him, "Stop eating all the time!"

"That’s exactly why I’m eating!" Fat man argued back defiantly, "Eating a bit when I’m nervous helps me concentrate..."

Zheng Qing ignored their argument, carefully observing the trapped monkey, and directed the vine net to drag it closer.

"You have ten minutes to deal with this monkey. The latest divination has come out." Sitting behind, Xiao Xiao still kept his head down. His bare, claw-like hands clutched a piece of dry beast bone that was slowly turning, making a crackling sound. "The top six - a dragon fighting in the wild, its blood black and yellow. ’Image’ says its way is exhausted."

As if to interpret his prophecy, the trapped Monkey demon suddenly revealed a human-like smirk on its face, and a surge of powerful demon energy erupted from its body.

"Aoo!!"

Accompanied by a roar filled with brutality, this originally small monkey inflated like a balloon, quickly breaking free from its binds and transforming into a seven-to-eight-meter-tall giant beast, tearing the vines around it to shreds.

"Oh boy!" Zhang Ji Xin exclaimed, "Now I know why it was a lone monkey."

"Damn it," Fat Man somehow stuffed the rest of the beef strip into his mouth in one gulp, chewed hard while he started to stretch, "Looks like we’re in big trouble."
