As soon as the crowd moved slightly, the macaques on the other side became excited and started picking up stones and throwing them at each other again.

Just as the monkeys were celebrating, Zhou Cong suddenly raised his hunting rifle and fired several shots into the sky above them.

The unsilenced shotgun emitted a deafening roar, the crisp sound echoing through the valley, stunning all the macaques.

Some of them were confused and didn't know what was going on. Some macaques were so frightened that they jumped up and down and fled back to the peach blossom forest.

Even the large white ape that had been sitting steadily on the rock was startled by Zhou Cong's actions.

It often wanders around in the mountains and forests, and sometimes even ventures into the outermost parts of the mountains and forests. It has seen the hunting rifle that Zhou Cong is carrying, and it knows that it is a powerful weapon.

Even wild boars weighing seven or eight hundred pounds, and those silly but tough-skinned black bears, could hardly withstand this guy. It and its monkey offspring certainly could not resist its power either.

The white ape leaped off the rock and hid behind it, then roared at the group of macaques, seemingly issuing another command.

Upon receiving the order, the macaques retreated from the stream to behind various large rocks.

"Damn, these guys actually have some kind of intelligence. Are they going to play a defensive game against us?"

Liao Bin said with a sullen face, cursing under his breath.

"Damn it, have these things become sentient?"

Xu Jiaming also cursed gruffly. Just as the group reached the stream, the macaques launched another attack from behind the rocks.

Small stones remain their best weapon, an inexhaustible source of resources.

The rain of stones erupted at the group again, stinging them painfully. This drove the already furious dogs into a frenzy.

With their owner encouraging them, they became much more confident, and some even rushed across the stream without a care in the world.

As soon as the guard dogs started moving, the smaller hunting dogs followed suit.

They are not very effective against wild beasts, but they can hold their own against a group of wild monkeys.

Macaques are not very heavy, and in a one-on-one situation, a Xia Si dog would have a clear advantage. Moreover, a brindle dog is even stronger than a Xia Si dog.

The fierce dogs ignored everything, and the Demon King charged ahead. Its immediate target was not the white ape, but the macaques who were still throwing stones.

These wretched creatures had already enraged the fierce dogs, and now they were going to vent their anger.

Seeing the fierce dogs launch an attack, the white ape suddenly let out a long howl, and all the macaques began to retreat rapidly into the depths of the peach blossom forest.

The white ape was well aware of the fighting prowess of these fierce dogs; its monkey offspring would have little chance against the enraged beasts.

The macaques quickened their retreat, and the fierce dogs, no longer bothered by the stones, moved even faster.

The demon king charged into the middle of the monkey troop first, then used his extreme speed to pounce on a macaque and bite its throat.

The terrified macaque let out a scream, and then fell silent. Its body was utterly vulnerable before the demon king's fangs.

Soon, Ah Huang and Sengge also made their attacks. Ah Huang bit off the arm of a macaque, and Sengge tore off the thigh of a macaque.

It was a bloody massacre, and the beagle dogs rushed over, surrounding even more macaques.

Their attacks are not as sharp, but their teeth can still inflict some fatal wounds on the macaque's fragile body.

The panicked troop of macaques tried to retaliate, but their efforts seemed futile against the relentless, ferocious dogs.

Blood stained the fallen petals beneath the peach blossoms; the ferocious dogs were in a bloodthirsty frenzy, and the open ground was littered with the corpses of macaques.

This scene drove the white ape to madness. It let out a furious scream, then brandished its fists and charged at the pack of dogs...

The hounds knew how terrifying this creature was, and they were the first to dodge it. The Demon King, who had been watching the white ape closely, let out a roar, alerted his two companions, and then went to meet the white ape first.

Seeing the approaching Demon King, the white ape's eyes blazed with fire. It swung its fist and punched the Demon King with incredible speed.

However, the Demon King, who was prepared, dodged the attack in advance. It knew how amazing the strength of this guy's arms was, and if it hit him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The Demon King dodged, and the white ape wanted to continue chasing him, but Ah Huang had already rushed up and pounced on the white ape, which nimbly dodged.

The white ape possessed extreme agility, so such attacks posed little threat to it. However, the hounds were not fighting it one-on-one; they held a significant numerical advantage.

The white ape had just dodged Ah Huang's attack when Sengge's attack came again.

The continuous attacks from the three fierce dogs were overwhelming even for the extremely fast white ape, leaving it with few opportunities to attack as it struggled to dodge.

It was already consumed by rage and had lost its composure, so such an attack posed even less of a threat...

On the opposite bank of the stream, everyone was watching the battle. Xu Jiaming had originally wanted to record it with his phone, but at this crucial moment, he realized that all their phones and communication devices were still left in the camp and had not been brought over.

They had seen the large white ape up close, but even now, they still couldn't tell whether it was a white ape or a savage.

In fact, the legendary wild men all had ape-like faces, or perhaps those wild men were just referring to this great white ape.

"What should we do? Should we just shoot it, kill it, and then take it out?"

Looking at the scene before him, Liao Bin asked hesitantly.

"No, don't shoot."

Upon hearing this, Chen Chongshan hurriedly shook his head, and Xu Jiaming, Zhou Cong, Wu Kai, and others beside him also shook their heads.

Xu Jiaming paused and said, "Whether this guy is a white ape or a savage, he already has intelligence. Let these dogs fight him. There's no need to kill him. He might be much older than us."

"Well, let's spare its life. This paradise needs someone to take care of it."

Wenfei nodded as well.

"Then...call the dog back?"

Liao Bin hesitated for a moment, then asked.
