Chapter 2351 Temptation and peaceful coexistence (two chapters in one)
"Crack..."
The car tires rub against the road, making a series of sharp sounds that fall into people's ears and make them very uncomfortable.
When the car stopped, the investigator in the car immediately got out of the car, and then used mental perception to explore the surroundings.
"Captain, no psychic fluctuations were found." A young man said.
"I just discovered psychic energy fluctuations in that direction. It was moving very fast, and now it has disappeared for some reason." The middle-aged man raised his finger and pointed to a direction in front of him, and told his colleagues what he had sensed earlier.
.
The others looked at each other in confusion. Due to the difference in strength, their range of perception was limited. Now that the captain said this, they believed it, and they all became more vigilant.
The investigator stood there for two or three minutes and found nothing unusual, then decided to get back to the car.
The moment everyone opened the car door, a pale golden stream of light suddenly shot out from the grass on the side and hit the car on the road at an extremely fast speed.
"Be careful." The middle-aged man was the strongest. He sensed the approaching danger immediately, then shouted to his colleagues, then pulled out a diamond-shaped dart from his waist and threw it.
"call out……"
"boom."
The pale golden stream of light collided with the diamond-shaped darts, and then exploded.
"boom."
After the diamond-shaped dart broke through the pale golden stream of light, it continued to fly forward and hit a thick tree in the distance, directly blasting a hole in the trunk of the tree.
The middle-aged man used his eyes to signal his companions to counterattack from the position where the attack was launched.
"get out."
As the investigator shouted loudly, a green tornado ball flew out, rapidly expanded in mid-air, and rotated forward, crushing all the plants in its path.
"Roar……"
A beast roar sounded in the darkness, and then the investigators saw a black figure avoiding the cyclone ball, and then climbed onto a large tree nearby using hands and feet.
"It's a forest monkey."
The investigators saw a black figure in the distance. At first they couldn't see clearly what it meant because of the lack of light. It wasn't until the figure came out of the shadows and saw it clearly with the help of the moonlight that they instantly recognized the strange beast.
Forest monkeys are very common strange animals in this forest. They hate the cold, so when the cold wave came to the forest before, they ran out of the forest to live in warmer places.
Now that the temperature has risen, these strange beasts that left the forest to escape the cold began to return one after another.
After returning to the forest after not being in the forest for a long time, these forest monkeys found that there were many more strongholds in the forest, so they began to tentatively attack these strongholds.
In the past week, forest monkeys have been found around many of the investigators' bases.
Fortunately, although these strange beasts are numerous in number, they are not strong, so defeating them will not cost a lot of manpower and material resources.
But the forest monkey attacking in the night was different from those weak forest monkeys. It exuded powerful spiritual energy fluctuations.
"This forest monkey is so strong."
"I didn't expect that there would be forest monkeys in the early stages of the third stage nearby."
The investigators were discussing in a low voice. As the leader of the team, the middle-aged man's eyes flashed coldly, as if he was thinking about how to deal with the strange beast that attacked the car.
"Roar……"
The forest monkey roared several times at the investigator, then turned and retreated.
He jumped up from the tree and jumped to another tree not far away.
He raised his hand and grasped the hanging vines on the tree, moving it like a swing, and soon disappeared into the vast night.
"It just left."
"It was so fierce just now, I thought it was going to rush up and fight us."
"It's better to leave like this, so as not to waste our time returning to the base."
"Now that there is such a third-level strange beast appearing nearby, please report it later, and then send a special team to deal with it, otherwise it will cause some trouble."
The investigators returned to the car, started it and continued on their way.
When the cars on the road disappeared, a small bee suddenly flew up from a tree. This bee was about the size of an egg. It was considered very big on the Blue Star, but it was not that big in the spiritual world.
The bee quickly flew in the direction where the forest monkey had left. After a while, the woods below disappeared, and the eyes were wide open.
The forest monkey stood on a stone. The bee flew towards it quickly and landed on its shoulder.
"Have they left?"
"Buzz..."
"Very good, you can continue to monitor that place. If you have any new information, report to me immediately."
"Buzz..."
The bee flew up from the forest monkey's shoulder, and then flew towards the investigator's stronghold in the distance.
After his men left, the forest monkey jumped down from the big rock. After landing, he ran towards a certain place at an extremely fast speed.
As time passed, the moon in the sky moved a long distance, and some places in the forest were splashed with moonlight and looked hazy.
The forest monkey traveled over the mountains and ridges for more than two hours before arriving at a remote location in the northwest corner of the forest.
Going further, we will leave the forest, and a lake appears in front of us.
This lake is very large, covering more than one million acres.
The moon shines on the lake, and the waves are sparkling, making people have the urge to jump into the lake and swim.
The forest monkey came to the lake and roared.
"Roar……"
The roar of the beast spread to the depths of the lake, and before long, the water was churning.
"Wow, wow, wow..."
Waves of water rose up one after another, then spread in all directions, and then a huge shadow emerged from the water.
A giant turtle stuck out its head and looked towards the lake shore. When it saw the forest monkey, it immediately swam over and said.
"Why are you here at my place so late at night?"
The forest monkey said, "I want to go to the other side of the lake. Please give me a ride."
"What did you say?" The giant turtle was very angry after hearing this, because it felt that the other party regarded it as a means of transportation. It was so angry that it wanted to teach the other party a lesson.
"I have to report something important to that adult. If I am delayed, then..." the forest monkey said calmly.
The giant turtle, which was already full of anger, immediately stopped after hearing this, and then snorted coldly in order not to lose face.
"For the sake of that adult, I'll give you a ride."
The forest monkey smiled, then jumped up and jumped on the back of the giant turtle.
This giant turtle was more than 20 meters long. The forest monkey jumped on the turtle shell and sat down directly, then closed its eyes and rested, waiting to reach the other side.
"Wow, wow, wow..."
The giant turtle swung its limbs and began to swim. Although the speed was very fast, it was not much faster than the swimming speed of other creatures in the water.
Suddenly, a pale golden light appeared on the limbs of this strange beast, and then the speed of the strange beast's swimming in the water suddenly doubled.
"call……"
The breeze blowing on the face is very comfortable, but when the wind speed increases, it becomes a little uncomfortable when it blows on the face again.
The forest monkey's hair was blown by the wind. It opened its eyes and looked down, muttering in its heart, "This old guy wants to show me some color!"
The two strange beasts were fighting each other. More than half an hour passed, and the end of the endless lake surface could be seen.
"We're here, get out of here." The giant tortoise shouted to the forest monkey on its back after it landed on the shore.
"Thank you, when we go back..." After the forest monkey landed on the shore, he was about to say that he would trouble him when he went back, but the other party dived directly into the water and disappeared without a trace.
"How stingy." The forest monkey chuckled, then jumped up, jumped to a tree not far away, and moved quickly towards the quiet place ahead.
…………
Originally, after nightfall, some small insects in the forest were very active, and their squeaking sounds would not stop for a moment.
However, there was one place where there was no sound of insects at all, and not even a trace of roars of beasts could be heard. Only the occasional gust of wind and the rustling of plants echoed in this area.
Suddenly, a figure jumped down from the tree and trampled the branches on the ground after landing.
"Click."
The sound of branches breaking was heard, and a rock in front made a clicking sound.
"What's the matter?" A dull voice came from the rock. This huge rock turned out to be a strange beast. If you don't observe it carefully, its appearance is really the same as the rock.
"Sir, you asked me to investigate the situation of those guys before. I have been investigating for the past few days..." The forest monkey bent down and said respectfully.
"Oh?" The clicking sound coming from the rock became louder and louder, and within a few seconds, a strange beast with a bulge all over its body that was the same color as the rock stood up on the ground.
Forest Monkey continued to report, “The stronghold built by those guys is very tightly defended and there is no way to get close.
I tried to attack some people, and the strength they displayed was terrifying."
"..." The leader of the alien beasts remained silent, thought for a while, and then said.
"I didn't expect that when I woke up from my deep sleep this time, such a group of people appeared in the forest."
The forest monkey was also very surprised. It took its fellow monkeys out of the forest to escape the cold. When it came back, it found the straight roads built by the investigators. It was surprised at first, but then it understood what these roads were for and was shocked.
The pig-headed man had thought about developing this forest before, but in the end he gave up.
Unexpectedly, it was now being developed by another group of forces, and the development progress was far beyond what those pig-headed men could match before.
"After waiting for so many years, I finally waited until the soul bird died. I thought it would be my turn to rule here, but I didn't expect such a change.
What should we do next? Do you have any ideas?" asked the leader of the alien beasts.
"Those guys seemed to have had a big conflict with the pig-headed people before. We can use this to talk about cooperation with them," the forest monkey said.
"This..." The leader of the alien beasts hesitated after hearing this suggestion.
After all, the pig-headed people are very powerful in this area. If they cooperate with their enemies and are retaliated later, the consequences can be imagined.
The forest monkey saw the other party's hesitation, thought for a while and said.
"Those pig-headed men have been defeated. Now there are only a few pig-headed men left in the forest. If we reach cooperation with those guys and have their protection, the pig-headed men will not dare to attack us easily..."
The leader of the alien beasts was still very afraid of the pig-headed man and did not accept his subordinate's suggestion.
It shook its head and said, "Let's leave this matter like this for now. I'll make a decision after I think about it."
"Yes." The forest monkey nodded, then turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait a moment." The leader of the alien beasts shouted as his men were about to leave.
"Sir, what are your orders?" the forest monkey asked respectfully.
"You have tested those guys several times during this period. Now you withdraw your subordinates and stop testing them." The leader of the alien beasts ordered.
The forest monkey knew that the reason for doing this was so that neither party would offend, so as not to get burned. Fortunately, it did not have murderous intentions when it was tempted, so it didn't matter if it pulled back now.
"Yes." The forest monkey nodded, and then it did not leave, but waited to see if the other party had anything else to say.
The leader of the alien beasts was silent for a few minutes, and then spoke again.
"Go tell them not to conflict with them if you meet them."
For safety reasons, the leader of the alien beasts is really cautious in doing things. After this order is issued, alien beasts of the same level as the forest monkey will basically not attack the investigators again.
"Yes." The forest monkey nodded. This time the leader of the alien beasts had no orders to give, and then he left.
The surroundings became quiet again, and the leader of the alien beasts raised his head and looked at the moon in the sky, muttering to himself.
"If I want to sleep again, I might wake up next time and the situation in the forest will have changed again..."
…………
Early the next morning, the strongholds built by investigators in the forest gradually became noisy.
The investigator, who slept until dawn, started to carry out activities in the forest in accordance with the tasks assigned by his superiors after breakfast.
"Strange, there was a group of forest monkeys here before, why are they missing today?"
"That's right! Those forest monkeys used to harass us from time to time. I wanted to teach them a lesson today, but now there aren't any."
"It's not like they sensed that we were going to retaliate, so they withdrew in advance."
"Although those forest monkeys are a bit smart, their IQs shouldn't be that high. I think they might have been attacked by other strange beasts and all of them were eaten...?"
Since this kind of thing often happens in the forest, when the investigators saw that a group of forest monkeys that had gathered here before disappeared, they took it for granted that the group of forest monkeys had become a meal for other strange animals.
While these investigators were discussing, similar scenes occurred in various places in the forest.
From today on, the forest monkeys have basically reduced their activity range.
Even if they encounter investigators who are out on a mission, they will actively give in.
The investigators were originally quite disgusted with these annoying forest monkeys, but now that they have given in and no longer pose any threat, their attitude toward these forest monkeys has changed.
Sometimes, some investigators will throw the extra food they carry with them to some young forest monkeys.
