Chapter 302 Reunion
"I felt that all these monkeys coming out meant something big had happened. I could get firsthand information, which would make it easier for us to escape."
Okay, you run first, I'll go check. Don't we have a cordless phone?
Thankfully, Yu'an bought this for us in case we encountered this situation, which makes it easier for us to stay in touch in this godforsaken place. I'm off!
After saying that, He Junlin nimbly headed in the direction the monkey troop had moved.
Xie Yiren hesitated for a moment. Reason told her she should leave, but her emotions prevented her from walking away alone.
She stamped her feet, sighed resignedly, and followed. If He Junlin encountered any trouble, she could lend a hand.
When He Junlin arrived at the place where the monkeys had gathered, he saw a dashing yet slightly disheveled figure appear before him.
It's Yufei and Xiaohei!
Xiao Hei originally thought that dealing with these monkeys would be a one-sided massacre, but he discovered that they were generally not very strong fighters.
However, these monkeys have somehow evolved intelligence comparable to humans, and they even understand strategy and tactics.
Little Black suffered some setbacks within their formation. Although it could still cope, its form appeared somewhat disheveled due to the protection it had been protected from.
He Junlin felt a sense of joy, like meeting old friends, as he saw Xiao Hei and Yu Fei.
His anxiety gradually turned into a sense of unease. He realized that although the monkeys couldn't defeat Xiao Hei and his companions, Xiao Hei seemed unable to break through their defenses.
Through this period of time, He Junlin, while not exactly an expert on the monkeys in this area, had gained some understanding of them. He sensed that these monkeys were determined to wear down Xiao Hei to death!
What... what should we do? If Shurus hadn't been unconscious, he would have rushed over without hesitation.
He and Xiao Hei fought side by side; now, if he goes out, he'll only cause it trouble and become another burden.
This was not what he wanted, so he could only worry anxiously from the shadows.
"Hoo~ Hoo meow"
(Damn it! These aren't monkeys, they're eels! They're so slippery, I'm really tiring.)
"Hey Blackie, want a piece of tuna to replenish your energy?"
Yufei noticed that Xiao Hei looked tired and asked worriedly.
"Meow~ Meow meow meow meow..."
(Not for now, it feels like a waste to use tuna to deal with them. If I get really annoyed, I'll activate my domain! But the domain can't encompass all the monkeys here at once.)
To deal with all the monkeys, I might need to open up several domains (it's a bit tiring).
It wasn't really keen on expanding its territory against this group of monkeys; there were just too many of them, and they never attacked together.
Under the command of the monkey king, they divided into several formations and took turns fighting it. After several rounds, it finally understood.
This monkey king was indeed clever; knowing they couldn't kill it, it employed a strategy of attrition to wear it down.
It knew that the key to defeating the monkeys was to kill their leader.
But this monkey king was even more agile than it! Oh! No! "Agile" isn't the right word; it should be described as slippery.
It's incredibly slippery; even though it's not as fast as the other animal, it just can't get close to it.
This also prevents it from getting into its territory; the range is always a little short.
Little Black was absolutely certain this was their first battle; otherwise, it would have thought they'd fought countless battles.
Having a thorough understanding of its skills and moves, dealing with it would be incredibly easy.
Xiao Hei knew this must be the monkey's talent.
Just as Xiao Hei was considering whether to visit the domain a few more times, a voice that Yu Fei recognized very well rang out from outside the monkeys' encirclement.
"Yufei, I'm here to help you!"
"It's Sister Xie Yiren."
Yufei's eyes lit up; she had finally found them—or rather, she had found Xie Yiren, one of them.
As Xie Yiren's voice rang out, Meifuyi flew from outside the monkey troop, carrying Xie Yiren, to Yufei's side.
There was no time for reminiscing. Meifu immediately cast a recovery buff on Xiao Hei.
Another enhancement buff was applied to it, and with several layers of Mefui's buffs stacked on, Xiao Hei felt an unprecedented sense of well-being.
It fought the monkey troop with renewed vigor, and its fighting power increased with its attack speed.
The monkey troop, which had been maintaining a balance in the fight, could no longer hold on and was being driven back by Xiao Hei.
The formation could no longer be maintained, and some monkeys were even knocked over by Xiao Hei, suffering serious injuries and losing their fighting ability.
"Roar~" Seeing that their forces were losing ground, the Monkey King gave up the fight. A group of monkeys, carrying the injured monkey on their backs, quickly fled among the fruit trees.
Little Black didn't chase them either. Little Black had learned a saying on Earth: "Don't pursue a desperate enemy."
Although it didn't know why, it didn't stop it from doing it.
After all, the buff from Mefui is time-limited; once it's gone, I'll feel like I've stepped in poop again.
No way!
"Meow~"
(Thank you, Meifuyi!)
Yes, it's a very polite cat; it even says thank you when a friend helps it.
"Ee~ee"
(No, you're welcome.) Meifuyi replied shyly, tugging at Xie Yiren's sleeve.
"Sister Yiren! I finally found you T^T You have no idea how hard Xiao Hei and I searched for you..."
While Xiao Hei and Mei Fuyi were talking, Yu Fei excitedly hugged Xie Yiren.
He excitedly recounted to Xie Yiren the experiences he had on his journey to find them.
Yufei spoke with great enthusiasm, her spittle flying as she spoke.
She was finally not alone anymore, although Xiao Hei had been with her during this time, but Xiao Hei wasn't speaking human language.
She still felt lonely, but now that she's found Yiren, she feels a sense of peace and security.
"Now it's Junlin's turn. Once we find him, we can leave. Cui Yu hasn't been able to contact us for a while; he must be getting impatient."
Yufei is now full of energy.
"Huh?! He Junlin drove in this direction before me!"
As she spoke, Xie Yiren looked around. She didn't believe He Junlin could get lost; after all, he was a detective.
As for whether she might be distracted by something else along the way, Xie Yiren wasn't so sure.
Xie Yiren was about to take out her cordless phone, tune to their call channel, and prepare to contact He Junlin.
A dejected male voice rang out from a tree.
"No need to call me, I'm here," came He Junlin's voice.
"He Junlin, what's wrong with you? You haven't made a sound for so long, and if you did, you'd be dead. Are you injured?!"
Xie Yiren looked at He Junlin suspiciously; she hadn't noticed any signs of a fight along the way.
"No, I'm not hurt. I'm just a little embarrassed to see Yufei. I feel so useless. I felt like I couldn't help at all in that fight!"
He Junlin said with a dejected look on his face.
