Chapter 214 The Monkey Troops Undergo a Dramatic Change

When the rain stopped, it was already afternoon.

The afternoon sun gently poured down on the earth, as if draping the whole world in a dreamlike golden veil, and every corner was filled with a warm and pleasant atmosphere.

Lu Fan and An Lan had just finished organizing the supplies, straightened up, stretched lazily, and were about to enjoy this rare moment of leisure.

Just then, a familiar voice drifted over.

The two looked up at the sound and were pleasantly surprised to find that it was the Monkey King leading two monkeys to the sanctuary.

"Hey friend, what brings you here!" Lu Fan greeted him with a big smile, quickly stepping forward.

Behind the Monkey King, two monkeys steadily carried a basket filled to the brim with all kinds of fruit.

The bananas were a bright yellow, the kiwis were fuzzy, and the apples were a rosy red—the colors were vibrant and beautiful.

"Wow, they've brought us fruit!" An Lan walked over quickly, her eyes filled with undisguised joy as she looked at the abundant "gift."

[Wilderness Survival Announcement]

Chinese contestant Lu Fan triggers a 10,000-fold return.

[Banana 14* Ten Million]

[Kiwifruit 6*10 million]

[iPhone 7* 10 million]

However, what shocked the two even more was that the fruit was actually transported there by monkeys in baskets.

"Wait, they've actually learned to weave baskets?" Lu Fan's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

His thoughts instantly drifted back to the scene where he had taught the monkeys to weave. He had only demonstrated it a few times, but the little guys had actually learned it.

This curiosity instantly ignited Lu Fan's desire to explore. He eagerly turned to look at An Lan, his eyes shining: "Let's go, let's go see them. Maybe there's an even bigger surprise waiting for us."

An Lan nodded vigorously, her heart also filled with curiosity.

"Friend, could you show us around your home?"

The Monkey King readily agreed and patted his chest.

So the two followed the monkey king toward the monkey troop's cave.

Along the way, dappled sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, creating patches of golden light.

As Lu Fan and An Lan strolled through the area, it felt as if they had stepped into a dreamlike fairytale world, tranquil and beautiful.

Before long, they arrived at the monkeys' habitat.

The changes here are tremendous. The monkeys have built simple houses out of wood next to what used to be a crude cave.

Although it looks a bit rough, it exudes a strong sense of life, making it warm and lovely.

A group of monkeys were sitting together, holding vines and branches, intently weaving baskets and similar objects.

Although their movements were not very skillful, and they would stop from time to time to think, they did each step very well and were extremely serious.

"Amazing, truly amazing! They are simply born learners!" Lu Fan exclaimed, his tone full of admiration.

Further in, they saw a monkey intently guarding a fire, on which sat some unknown pieces of meat, sizzling and emitting a fragrant aroma.

The monkey skillfully flipped the pieces of meat, occasionally sprinkling on spices gathered from the wild. Its movements were fluid and graceful, clearly those of a seasoned pro.

At this moment, the live stream chat room completely erupted in chaos.

The audience was stunned by this scene, and the barrage of comments flooded in like a tidal wave.

"Are these still the monkeys I know? Are they evolving into humans?!"

"It's amazing! These monkeys are incredibly intelligent!"

"Didn't they say that spirits weren't allowed after the founding of the People's Republic of China? What's going on here?"

Upon seeing this scene, Zhao Hangjun also showed an incredulous expression and excitedly said to the camera: "Dear viewers, what you are seeing now is absolutely unprecedented."

This group of monkeys has begun to develop their own civilization. They have learned to make tools, build shelters, and even master cooking skills.

This is an extremely rare phenomenon even in animal behavior research!

Lu Fan and An Lan continued to move among the monkeys, observing their every move with great interest.

They were pleasantly surprised to find that there seemed to be a simple division of labor within the monkey troop.

Besides the monkeys weaving and roasting meat, there are also those responsible for gathering food and caring for the cubs. Each monkey is busy in its own position, performing its duties in an orderly manner.

"Look, that little monkey is imitating the big monkey weaving," An Lan said, gently nudging Lu Fan and pointing to a little monkey hiding in a corner.

The little monkey was tightly clutching a vine in its hand, trying its best to imitate the big monkey next to it, tying knots and wrapping it around.

Its movements were a little clumsy, but its eyes were full of focus and longing, making people smile.

Lu Fan stepped forward and gently patted the little monkey's head.

The little monkey raised its head and squeaked twice at him, as if it were greeting him warmly.

"These monkeys are really beyond my expectations," Lu Fan said with a smile, his face beaming with warmth.

After spending some time with the monkey troop, Lu Fan and An Lan decided to have a good chat with the monkey king to see if they could uncover more secrets about the troop.

They found a clean spot to sit down, and the Monkey King, along with several older monkeys, gathered around.

The Monkey King was extremely excited and immediately began to gesture wildly.

Through the monkey king's vivid description, Lu Fan and An Lan roughly understood that since they taught the monkeys how to weave last time, the monkeys had developed a strong interest in these skills.

They kept trying and practicing, and gradually mastered the skills of weaving.

The reason for building the house was that I remembered the general steps when I helped Lu Fan build his house last time.

Grilling meat is even simpler. Ever since Lu Fan gave them flint and they learned to use fire, they have started to imitate Lu Fan in grilling meat.

After learning all this, Lu Fan and An Lan were even more impressed by the wisdom and creativity of the monkey troop.

They deeply realized that although these monkeys do not have the complex language and thinking of humans, they have their own unique ways of learning and survival wisdom, and are equally worthy of respect.

"Perhaps we really should re-examine these animal friends."

An Lan remarked with emotion, "They are not just simple creatures; they also have their own culture and society."

Lu Fan nodded vigorously in agreement: "That's right. Compared to them, we humans are sometimes too arrogant."

They always think of themselves as the most intelligent of all beings, yet often overlook the wisdom and potential of other creatures.

Just then, a little monkey hopped over, carrying a newly woven basket in its hands, and carefully handed it to Lu Fan.

Lu Fan took the basket, his heart filled with gratitude.

He looked at the little monkey, smiled gently, and said, "Thank you, little guy, this is the most precious gift I have ever received."

[Found Supplies Card]

Um?

Lu Fan looked down in confusion and saw another little monkey running excitedly to him, clutching a card tightly in its hand.

It was the same one that had been sent to the shelter for rescue due to hypothermia.

It tilted its head back, raised its hands high, and its face was full of expectation, as if it was secretly competing with the little monkey that delivered the basket, wanting to get more praise from Lu Fan.
