24-year-old Yu Zhu is a security guard. Her daily routine involves sitting around reading newspapers, effectively skipping 40 years of hard work compared to others. Perhaps the heavens couldn't...
Chapter 60 10.24+25 two updates in one
Each beach has its own unique characteristics. Compared with Area A, Yu Zhu prefers Area B. Who told her that she doesn't like to eat sea centipedes?
(Sea Centipede: You don't want to eat them, but you keep sending them flying? I'll beat you up with a stick! Are you polite? Your pet is just like you, sleeping soundly but you have to dig the centipede out! Cursing.jpg)
Unfortunately, Yu Zhu was deaf to the sea centipede's complaints and was completely focused on purchasing his new favorite. After catching the big crabs and razor clams, he put away the small item storage and walked straight inside.
The coconut trees here are the same as those in Area A, obviously the same species, but they look slightly different.
I always feel that the coconut trees in Area B are more proud. There is not much wind today, so why are they shaking their leaves?
This was also the first time the coconut tree saw humans, and it found that they were indeed as small, weak and short as the other trees had described.
A tree that can write its thoughts on its face shows that it has not experienced the beatings of society. A tree is also decorated with them, most likely they have never been picked, and even the coconuts are still hanging intact on the tree.
Yu Miaoxiao Zhu directly took out a simple hook, intending to show it off briefly.
Without blinking, she threw the hook upwards, and it easily and accurately caught the junction between the tree and the fruit.
This time it was the coconut tree's turn to be confused, to the point where it couldn't even figure out why it wanted to drop its leaves.
Coconut tree:?
How did she get that thing attached to it?
Is its nearly 15-meter height for nothing?
No tree had ever told it that humans in the outside world had this trick. They all said that humans were weak and that they had to shake the tree trunk and pray to obtain the coconuts they gave them.
Or they risk their lives to climb up the tree. Every coconut they pick requires a huge price to pay. No one is as "rough" as Yu Zhu.
Just as the coconut tree in Area B was daydreaming, it was as if someone had grabbed its throat and pulled it down suddenly. The tree trunk, which was not originally straight and had a natural curvature, was forced to bend at the waist, forming an amazing curve, shocking all the animals and plants in Area B.
The coconut trees near it seemed as if they wanted to be uprooted and run away, as far as they could!
Only after the coconuts were plucked down one by one did Yu Zhu retract his simple hook. The coconut tree suddenly rebounded, swaying violently and uncontrollably. When it finally regained its footing, it realized it had become shorter! The entire tree was several years old, and this was the first time in its life that it had endured such suffering!
Yu Zhu picked up the coconut, but she didn't put it into her inventory as usual. Instead, she clenched her fist and hit the heavy coconut with a hammer, directly hitting it head-on.
“Crack—”
As expected, the coconut's skin was cracked. She broke the shell with her bare hands, poked a hole with her fingertips, and drank the coconut juice from the hole.
Yu Zhu: I just want to try what this pretentious coconut tastes like.
It looked like a green-skinned coconut, juicy, sweet and quite delicious. She drank 200ml of it, broke the coconut in half and tasted the flesh. It was as tender and smooth as jelly, really good.
The remaining half was fed to Xinni. Seeing that she was drinking it happily, Yu Zhu was also in a good mood.
This coconut tree belongs to the palm family. The palm leaves that we usually pick up on the raft are the leaves from its branches.
The coconut tree, which had become bare without any fruit, saw the woman below, her eyes fixed on its branches and leaves.
This time the coconut tree stopped shaking. A man of wisdom and wisdom lost all his arrogance and started playing dead.
Look how cowardly it is. Yu Zhu doesn't need these few palm leaves, otherwise she would just get a few of them. She is being kind (actually, she is just being lazy). She is so kind. If it were another player, they might cut down the whole tree.
The crabs, who were originally doubtful about their lives like the coconut trees, also began to reflect. In their memories, the old crabs were always showing off in front of humans and had clamped off countless toes and fingers. But now, they were caught together with their claws. So, what went wrong?
After seeing what happened to the coconut tree, the crabs finally realized what they had done wrong! It was pure bad luck! They had encountered a tough opponent and there was no way to deal with it.
Yu Zhu sat on the ground, put his hands behind his head, and leaned against the coconut tree, waiting patiently for Xinni to finish eating before setting off again with her.
The animals and plants on the beach breathed a sigh of relief: This woman is finally gone.
Putting the remaining 4 coconuts into the inventory, Yu Zhu led Xinni further inside.
There are not as many trees at the entrance as in Area A. Not long after walking, I heard the sound of dripping water and found that it was a stream flowing from above. The fresh water resources are more abundant than in Area A.
The further you go inside, the more trees there are. The trunks are generally thicker and the branches are lush. You can see many thick vines hanging down, and from time to time you can hear the rustling sound of leaves blown by the wind.
After leaving the beach and walking for about ten minutes, Yu Zhu didn't find any traces of small animals, which was very strange.
Moreover, Yu Zhu always felt that something was staring at her, but when she looked over, she could see nothing.
She couldn't help but look down at Xinni and found that it was also in a state of alert. This aroused Yu Zhu's curiosity, and she also had some guesses in her heart.
Until Yu Zhu walked to the upper reaches of the stream and saw a banana grove with a long bunch of bananas. Who was this tempting? Then she took the bait without hesitation.
As soon as the people here stood still, Xinni bared her teeth and made a threatening sound.
The next second, a banana peel hit Yu Zhu, but she dodged it by turning her head.
Yu Zhu finally saw the other party's true appearance, it was indeed a monkey.
With a typical orange beard, red nose and lips, blue ridges running vertically down the sides of the nose, and a brightly colored face, this male mandrill stands about 1 meter tall. Known as the "Big Painted Face" among monkeys, it has a large, long head and a ghostly appearance, hence its name. It has a very high IQ and is one of the most intelligent monkeys, but it's also the fiercest and largest, with a violent, aggressive, and aggressive personality.
This mandrill is obviously much larger than the one in the zoo. It is normal to think about it. All the tough guys on the intermediate islands have advanced without exception, and some have even advanced in groups, such as our own Italian bees. The mandrill in front of us is one of them.
These male mandrills should be guards. They have strong bodies and bulging muscles. Their fighting ability is no less than that of large beasts. Now they look at Yu Zhu with contempt. Throwing banana peels at her is both a joke and a warning.
That look seemed to be saying: Who dares to trespass into the territory of these mandrills?
Mandrills are omnivorous animals. In addition to eating plants and fruits, they also eat some invertebrates. No wonder there are not even any birds nearby. I guess all the bird eggs have been taken out.
This area should be the territory of mandrills. Animals have a strong sense of territory, but Yu Zhu has already come this far, and she can't turn back. That would be a waste of time. What's more, she really wants to eat bananas.
Look, this food must be so delicious to make the mandrills grow so fat.
The mandrill did not see Yu Zhu fleeing as it wished, and it was instantly enraged and began to roar angrily. It was obvious that it had a very bad temper.
Of course, Yu Zhu's temper is not that good either. She doesn't hold grudges and will take revenge on the spot if she has any.
In front of the mandrill, she took out a mangosteen from the backpack behind her. In order to save space in the inventory, she deliberately put some fruits in the woven backpack so that she could eat them whenever she wanted.
Yu Zhu crushed the purple-black shell with one hand and ate the snow-white flesh inside one by one, enjoying it very much.
The mandrill probably didn't have any mangosteens. It was puzzled and bewildered by Yu Zhu's behavior. It clearly couldn't understand her behavior. It was yelling at her, so why didn't she run away? What was she doing? What was she eating?
This made the roaring mandrill quite embarrassed. It closed its mouth again and stared at Yu Zhu with a fierce look.
As if seeing the mandrill's curiosity, Yu Zhu explained it for free.
The next second, an empty mangosteen shell hit its forehead.
Yu Zhu: "Is it fun?"
Mandrill: ???
It was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became furious and let out another shrill roar.
A mandrill behind him had already run to inform the Monkey King.
The mandrill that was hit on the head took the lead in attacking Yu Zhu, followed by other brothers.
It grabbed the vines beside the tree and swung back and forth in the air. After a few swings, it came to Yu Zhu's side.
Yu Zhu's wooden spear was caught by the leading mandrill No. 1 just after it was thrust forward at such a fast speed. It broke the tip easily like breaking chopsticks.
The mandrill roared extremely arrogantly, holding on to one end of the wooden spear tightly, as if it wanted to compete with Yu Zhu. It did not think that Yu Zhu had any chance of winning.
Yu Zhu: "You have to hold it steady."
Mandrill:?
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Zhu took advantage of the force of the mandrill's pole and rushed towards it. He jumped into the air with both feet and kicked the mandrill and the monkey away together.
Just from this one strike, one can feel the extraordinary force.
The mandrill was kicked onto a tree several meters away. Its head was in a daze, its sternum was broken, and its mouth, nose and internal organs were bleeding, making it unable to move and fainted.
The battle has begun.
Yu Zhu took out a brand new wooden spear. She knew that the mandrill's strength could destroy wooden weapons, but as long as she was fast enough, it would be enough.
Facing the oncoming Mandrill No. 2, Yu Zhu swung his spear like a spear and launched a series of deadly stabs, stabbing more than ten times in a few seconds.
The mandrill scratched several times with its claws, but only caught air. It was almost cross-eyed. It scratched the monkey hair in front of it in frustration and felt a wet spot. There were several blood holes there, and blood was oozing out...
It rolled its eyes and fell down.
In less than half a minute, Yu Zhu killed two mandrills in succession, leaving three.
One of them was fighting back and forth with Xinni.
As a cub, Xinni obviously could not beat an adult mandrill, but what it did was to interfere. Using its speed advantage, it prevented the mandrill from dealing with Yu Zhu, which also attracted a fighting force for Yu Zhu.
There were still two left to attack from both sides. Yu Zhu jumped into the air and narrowly avoided them. He raised his spear and stabbed it to the side, piercing the shoulder of Mandrill No. 3 on the left, and then kicked Mandrill No. 4 on the right hard in the head.
Mandrill No. 3 screamed in pain and fell to the ground with his arms folded. Mandrill No. 4 had several teeth kicked out and his mouth was full of blood. Yu Zhu was saved.
She landed lightly on the ground, took out her intermediate bow and arrow, and shot an arrow at Mandrill No. 5 that was chasing Sinni, hitting it right in the bend of its hind legs and knocking it to its knees. The stone arrow pierced through its flesh and bones, pinning it firmly to the ground.
It took a total of three minutes. By the time Yu Zhu had dealt with the guarding monkeys, the Monkey King and his subjects had arrived one after another.
Looking around, there were at least 2-3 monkeys hanging on every tree.
Why could Yu Zhu recognize the Monkey King at first sight?
Of course, it is the most conspicuous one, with the most gorgeous and huge patterns on its face.
This is the case for many males in nature. They often need beautiful appearance to attract females. For example, only male peacocks can spread their tails.
Being able to become the Monkey King must have more than just this advantage. It is also the largest, strongest and most flamboyant in the tribe.
The Mandrill King looked at his five fallen subjects with a gloomy expression. From the rise and fall of his chest, it was obvious that he was very angry. He raised his hand slightly, and the mandrills behind him slowly scattered and moved towards Yu Zhu. His intention was obvious: to surround Yu Zhu, the culprit.
Yu Zhu immediately raised his intermediate bow and arrow and aimed at the Mandrill King, unlike those who were just putting on a show.
She always acted without hesitation and without saying a word. With lightning speed, she shot an arrow, which brushed past the monkey hair on the side of the mandrill king's face and hit the tree behind it. The arrow made a violent buzzing sound, demonstrating her unique strength and speed.
Yu Zhu deliberately missed the target. She couldn't just kill the Monkey King as soon as she came up, right?
She can't stand these monkeys going crazy. Monkeys are a very united species and they will definitely avenge the Monkey King.
In fact, Yu Zhu's attack power is not higher than these intermediate beasts, but she has weapons, brains, and skills, which can help her win.
Seeing Yu Zhu attacking the Mandrill King, his people were furious, roaring one after another. Although they did not speak the same language, they could tell from the tone of their voices that the curses were very ugly.
Yu Zhu: It doesn’t matter. I don’t understand it anyway.
The Mandrill King was much calmer. He tried his best to suppress the shock in his heart. Yu Zhu's attack really stunned him. It did not play according to the routine at all.
Since it can become the Monkey King, it is obviously not stupid. Yu Zhu is somewhat beyond its expectations, forcing the Mandrill King to re-weigh the pros and cons.
This shouldn't be a problem it should consider. After all, the enemy has reached its doorstep, so why not fight back?
Although they look rather reckless and behave rather recklessly, the five lying below are living examples, but the Monkey King considers himself to be the wisest of the entire monkey group.
When the opponent is not a threat, you can naturally fight however you want, but hasn't the situation changed?
At this time, the mandrills howling and rushing nearby were really noisy, chattering so loudly that it was so noisy!
The mandrill king could no longer bear it and no longer needed to endure it. He raised his head and roared. His voice was indeed louder than that of other mandrills, which scared them into silence. They all looked at each other and became more obedient. They dared not to act rashly again.
No matter how entangled it is, it is all for its people. The Mandrill King originally thought that the battle could still be won, but the casualties would be heavy. Humans are very cunning. But now it has begun to doubt its monkey life. Can the brains of the reckless men really win?
Seeing that the baboon king looked like he had eight hundred thoughts in his mind, Yu Zhu instinctively told him not to let it think anymore.
She raised her hand and pointed at the five monkeys on the ground, breaking the silence first: "Aren't you going to save them?"
Yu Zhu didn't kill them, but he injured them badly, and they would take at least ten days or half a month to recover.
She just wanted to make them unable to move for a short period of time, not to take their lives. If she really killed the monkeys, it would be a mortal enemy.
She wasn't here to challenge the king, she was just passing by innocently (?) and wanted to try some local specialties. Yu Zhu wasn't sure if the Mandrill King could understand her, but she still had to speak. It wasn't a good idea to remain silent all the time.
Unexpectedly, the Mandrill King waved his arms, and many monkeys jumped down from the trees and picked up the five wounded.
Then, the Mandrill King roared at Yu Zhu a few more times, whether it was a warning, a threat, or a thank you (?
Yu Zhu is the latter.
She directly stated her purpose: "I want to eat bananas."
Mandrill King:?
Yu Zhu: "Banana, Bunana, do you understand?"
Mandrill King: ???
For a moment, Yu Zhu felt that he had misunderstood it. With such a big clown face and such a stupid expression, how smart could it be?
Yu Zhu had no choice but to lower his head and kick the banana peel thrown by a monkey. "Give me some of this stuff. The one in the second row of the third column by the door is pretty good."
Mandrill King: Are you here to shop?
Just when Yu Zhu was thinking about how to make it understand, the Mandrill King stared at her in silence for a long time, and finally gave a few instructions to the monkeys beside him.
The mandrill who received the task had a head full of black question marks, and he wanted to scratch his scalp off. It was too brain-burning.
A minute later, Yu Zhu received what she wanted. From a distance, the banana seemed quite big, but when she looked closer, it was even bigger.
The plump bananas are curved into a crescent shape and are golden in color. I can smell their sweet flavor before I even eat them. It turns out that these mandrills are eating good food.
It is known that every banana tree can produce a long bunch of bananas, and this tree is particularly productive. From top to bottom, there are a total of 8 bunches, and each bunch has about 15 bananas.
The mandrills are so strong that it takes two monkeys to carry them over.
Before Yu Zhu put it into his inventory, he knew that the island protection law was about to be triggered.
To this end, she first laid the groundwork in her mind: This is a gift from a good friend, and I can't refuse such kindness.
Implicit meaning: I didn’t pick the bananas myself, and it has nothing to do with the island protection law. If you have any problems, go find the mandrills, don’t come to me.
(The game has captured Yu Zhu's inner thoughts and has ten thousand words to complain about. What kind of friend is this? But due to the game's baggage, it can only find another way.)
【As a friend, you should have thought of a return gift】
Yu Zhu: Of course.
A group of mandrills were either standing or sitting on the trees, and they saw Yu Zhu wave his hand, and the long bunch of bananas on the ground disappeared.
Total harvest: 15000g bananas
Then she raised her right hand towards them and began to recite the lines with great emotion.
Yu Zhu: "With my sincere blessings, I hope my mandrill friends can spend every day happily in the jungle!"
【? 】
[That's it? That's all?]
Yu Zhu: Sincerity is precious, but blessings are more valuable.
【……】
(If I were a mandrill, I would fight you)
However, the Mandrill King did not think so. He felt that this human was quite interesting. Her skills, intentions and words were far beyond his expectations, which made him feel a little touched.
He then raised his hand, and after a while, the mandrill that had just gone to pick bananas came back with its companions, dragging a large bunch of watermelons.
As expected, whether it is humans or animals, they all like to hear flattery.
(The game was speechless for a moment. If it could make expressions, it would definitely be in a dilemma.)
Yu Zhu: Do you think I'm greedy? I just taught you not to be greedy yesterday. [You still know]
Yu Zhu: What the hell do you know? I earned all this through my own abilities, how could I be greedy? You should reflect on yourself and ask yourself if you've been working hard all these years instead of secretly embezzling money and letting me get caught. That's what greed is!
【……I was wrong】
Yu Zhu: Okay, go and reflect on yourself.
After she finished talking to the game, she diverted its attention and put all the watermelons into the inventory.
Total amount obtained: 15000g watermelon
The island protection law was not triggered on both occasions. Although Yu Zhu looked calm on the surface, he was already very happy in his heart.
However, she thought her eloquence was average, but this could make the Mandrill King so happy. It seemed that they had never been praised by anyone before.
Yu Zhu expressed his full understanding of this. After all, mandrills do look a bit scary, and because they have undergone evolution, they appear even more ferocious. However, they are not as difficult to communicate with as imagined. Perhaps this is also a manifestation of wisdom.
I don't know what this game reflected on, but my brain was working pretty fast and suddenly came up with another sentence.
【How about you praise them again? 】
Yu Zhu: No.
【Why? 】
Yu Zhu: Tell the truth only once.
【?】(So you won’t speak human language anymore?)
Yu Zhu: Well, actually, too much is as bad as too little. Why are you so stupid?
She could hardly stand this stupid game anymore, and she had no idea which idiot had invented it.
The game is completely dead now. Humans are too profound, and it will take it a long time to digest all of this.
At moments like this, if it were anyone else, even if they couldn't think of words, they would close their eyes and praise the King of Mandrills for being wise and powerful. After all, the King of Mandrills is so generous, and just by talking, they can get a lot of supplies. Who doesn't want to get more benefits?
But Yu Zhu is a principled person. When she says sincerity, she means it 100%. She won't praise the fruit against her conscience (mainly because you can't always grab a sheep and pluck it, you will be discovered).
In short, Yu Zhu was a person who knew when to quit. She felt that she had made enough money, so she prepared to continue on her journey. Turning back was impossible, so in order to save time, she planned to cross directly through the territory of the Mandrill King.
Yu Zhu: "King Mandrill, thank you for your generosity. Please allow me and my beloved pet to pass through your territory and head deeper into the forest. We have no ill intentions, this is just a matter of convenience."
(This straight ball hit the monkey in the face. It will shine brightly if it gets some sunshine, and it will climb up if it gets a pole.)
The most infuriating thing is that every time the game thought Yu Zhu was going to fail, the Mandrill King actually agreed.
Yu Zhu: "I just like communicating with smart monkeys."
The Mandrill King snorted twice, seeming to be a bit proud.
(game:?)
This incident fully demonstrates the importance of communication. When the numbers of the two sides were unequal, Yu Zhu was still willing to communicate in a civilized manner (first firing arrows to intimidate, then acting according to the situation).
The originally tense atmosphere was broken by the direct ball.
Among the mandrills, there are smart ones and big fools. The smart ones obeyed the advice of the mandrill king, while the big fools were confused while obeying. They were enemies one second and friends the next. They couldn't understand it at all, but they could only hold it in.
Before leaving, Yu Zhu leaned over and touched Xinni's head. The man and the leopard looked at each other, and Xinni rubbed Yu Zhu's calf gently with her tail.
She could sense its nervousness, and it could sense the sweat on her palms, but they were both born with talent for acting. After all, they were about to enter the territory of monkeys, not just any monkeys, but the territory of the phantom mandrills.
As the saying goes: It is better to encounter a jackal than a mandrill.
Of course, this is all feudal superstition in Yu Zhu's view. Although she is wearing a sea survival game, she still holds high the banner of believing in science (firmly)
Analyzing rationally, she is indeed taking a risk, but she will also arrange a way out for herself.
While stroking Xinni's head, he openly took out the small item library and made 200 arrows, 10 stone axes + stone pickaxes + wooden spears.
Perhaps Yu Zhu was too slow, the Mandrill King roared again.
Yu Zhu turned around and said, "Perhaps, do you know Draven?"
Mandrill King:?
Yu Zhu: "One axe kills one small mandrill."
Mandrill King: ???
Yu Zhu: "Please be patient, I was just joking."
"Actually, I'm making arrows. I'm going to make 999 of them."
Mandrill King: ...?
Why can you be so calm and say such cruel words?
Humans are so terrifying.
He had some evil thoughts and wanted to find a chance to get rid of Yu Zhu's baboon king, but he felt that the hairless skin on his face that was scraped off by the arrow became cold.
After arranging all the weapons in place, Yu Zhu stopped sweating and felt relieved. She had never felt so at ease before. If the Mandrill King dared to go back on his word, she wouldn't mind dressing it up as a hedgehog and even doing some cosplay to keep up with the fashion!
In short, Yu Zhu is a person that gives the Mandrill King both headaches and confusion. It is already one of the most intelligent monkeys, but it can't understand her and has no idea what she is thinking. She obviously gives the monkey a sincere feeling, but there is also an unspeakable sense of danger.
Although mandrills are moody, ferocious and violent, at least they really laugh when they laugh and really get angry when they get angry.
Yu Zhu was different. He was clearly smiling, and the curve of his mouth didn't change, but the more the Mandrill King looked at him, the more he felt creepy.
If the game knew what the Mandrill King was thinking, it would probably become a public topic between the two of them, as they were both being fooled by Yu Zhu.
Yu Zhu: You are getting hairy simply because you don't pay attention to your hygiene. You should just take a bath more often and then find a monkey to rub your back.
After a long wait (just a few minutes actually), the Mandrill King became increasingly impatient.
Because Yu Zhu had made bananas and watermelons disappear with her bare hands before, the Mandrill King had no doubt that she was lying.
Humans have magic, and who knows where it might be hiding.
Finally, Yu Zhu took Xinni out. She walked beside the Mandrill King, followed by a group of monkeys in the trees and on the ground.
This was the first time the mandrills welcomed guests, and everyone was in a very complicated mood. It was also the first time they had encountered someone so brave.
