Chapter 287 Return to 3
Everyone had smiles on their faces and were preparing to continue walking down the mountain.
Ye Jingmo's expression changed slightly. He heard rustling sounds coming from the forest, which was a bad sign.
He looked back and saw something flash by in the thick fog, its movement surprisingly fast.
"alert……"
Before his voice could even finish...
With a "whoosh," the sound of something cutting through the air was heard.
The object hit the unsuspecting Wang Tang on the forehead, and a red bump instantly appeared on his forehead, with some splinters on it.
Wang Tang touched the swelling and pulled out the splinter. His face turned ugly. "Damn, what is that?"
He looked down at the thing that had attacked him on the ground: a round, black fruit with some spiky skin. He rubbed it between his feet; the fruit was very hard.
Everyone looked around warily, their bodies tense, as if trying to find the source of the attack on Wang Tang.
"Chirp chirp chirp..."
A commotion erupted from all directions around them.
Jiang Li immediately shone her flashlight on the tree, where countless monkeys were climbing, each holding a black fruit.
The furry monkey grinned and scurried about on the branches, making the thick branches creak under its weight.
"My goodness, how come there are so many monkeys?!"
Zhang Tianmeng stared in disbelief at the sheer number of monkeys; it was practically the underworld of the animals.
Wang Hao's words were icy: "We may have strayed into their territory by mistake. Everyone, retreat slowly and do not use weapons unless absolutely necessary."
Before anyone could make a move, the monkeys threw the fruit they were holding down at them in a deluge.
"Whoo~"
Fu Qian groaned in pain. There were so many fruits that she dodged one side but not the other, and she was hit in several places by the fruits.
She felt that these fruits were like stones, hitting people and causing unbearable pain.
"Those damn monkeys."
Zhang Tianmeng cursed under her breath.
The group frantically dodged and weaved, trying to escape the forest, but the monkeys' attacks were too dense, leaving them no way to retreat.
"Captain Wang, we have no choice but to use weapons."
Liu Yu blocked a piece of fruit thrown at him with his elbow and shouted anxiously at Wang Hao.
Wang Hao gritted his teeth and, facing the dense troop of monkeys in the tree, could only give the order, "Bring out weapons for defense."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianmeng immediately drew his sword from his waist, saying, "I've been waiting for this for a long time, you monkey, watch my counterattack."
He aimed and shot at the monkey that was pounding the tree the most fiercely.
As soon as the gunshot rang out, the monkey fell from the tree, and the other monkeys around it immediately scattered.
After waiting for a while, a bold monkey ran to the tree and nudged the monkey that had fallen down with its paw. Finding no response, it started chirping angrily.
The monkey troop became even more agitated. Some monkeys jumped onto the trees behind their group, surrounding Jiang Li and the others and frantically throwing fruit into them, seemingly trying to trap them there.
Some monkeys even nimbly half-climbed down the tree, hooking their claws at the backpacks on their backs, trying to snatch them away.
"We can't let these monkeys touch the backpack."
When Wang Hao saw the monkeys' movements, his face darkened as if ink were about to drip from it.
The backpacks were filled with herbs; if these monkeys stole them, their trip would have been for nothing.
"Everyone, form a circle and surround Captain Wang inside, so that these monkeys don't touch him."
Jiang Li shouted loudly, "Wang Hao's backpack contains most of the herbs, which absolutely cannot be stolen."
"Move away from the tree, shoot at the monkeys in the tree at intervals, and slowly retreat."
Ye Jingmo, holding a pistol, saw a monkey dart down beside Jiang Li and reach out its claws to grab her. Without hesitation, he fired the shot.
The monkey immediately lost its grip on the tree trunk, fell off, twitched twice on the ground, and then became still.
