Chapter 29: The Monkey's Nest
It was the first time in Dulang's life that he saw so many monkeys.
There were so many monkeys that half of the mountain was covered with monkeys.
This is poking the monkey's nest.
Du Lang's scalp tingled when he saw this.
The monkeys in front of me were holding torches in their hands and circling around the campfire.
"Junior Brother Ye..." Zhang Zhuo tried to thank him.
Before he could finish his words, he was punched by the monkey.
Zhang Zhuo successfully shut up and took small steps to Du Lang's side.
The two stood together, feeling reserved and helpless.
Ye Xingzhou, wearing a grass wreath woven by little monkeys on his head, walked out from the crowd of monkeys.
The Monkey King was so happy that he lost his mind and almost got so excited that he ordered the monkeys to roast the two men over a fire as a sacrifice.
"Two brothers, don't be nervous. I've sent monkeys to stand guard. They'll be the first to know if anyone breaks in."
Du Lang hesitated to speak.
"Junior brother, are you... okay?"
"Me?" Ye Xingzhou sat down on a rock. "I'm fine."
Zhang Zhuo tilted his head and asked, "Du Lang, why didn't the monkey hit you when you spoke?"
Du Lang looked at the grass ring on Ye Xingzhou's head and said, "Maybe you spoke before Junior Brother Ye opened his mouth."
So this group of monkeys regard Ye Xingzhou as the monkey king?
Zhang Zhuo had to look at this junior brother who was rumored to be a good-for-nothing differently.
He was extremely surprised. "Junior Brother Ye, how did you tame these wild monkeys?"
Dulang was equally curious.
Ye Xingzhou didn't hide it, "Of course I bribed him with bananas."
"But that banana grove is next to the Lingxi herd."
"I know."
The Lingxi group is very averse to outsiders approaching. How did Ye Xingzhou bypass the Lingxi group and pick the bananas?
Could it be that he has conquered Lingxi?
This outrageous guess arose in Du Lang's mind, but it was particularly reasonable when applied to Ye Xingzhou.
Subduing Lingxi is already a more restrained act than throwing feces tonight.
This mental state is truly ahead of its time.
Zhang Zhuo was confused by what he heard, but it did not stop him from admiring Ye Xingzhou.
His junior fellow apprentice became the Monkey King without relying on beast taming techniques!
I'm not a loser!
After leaving the secret realm, he must clear his junior brother's name.
"Junior brother, if you need any help, just tell me. I will do my best to help you as long as I can."
Ye Xingzhou was not polite and directly extended Erkang's hand.
"Give me a token."
He didn't save people for nothing.
When he came back, he looked at the rankings. Zhang Zhuo had seven tokens and Du Lang had six tokens.
Five tokens are required to pass the test, and it won’t make any difference if Ye Xingzhou takes one.
Zhang Zhuo had no complaints and decisively took out a token.
So does Dulang.
However, Ye Xingzhou refused Du Lang's token.
"Brother Du, there's no need for the token. Just keep an eye out for Ren Wangzhu and Meng Zhi for me."
Du Lang had helped him when the barrier was broken before.
This time it can be considered offset.
Du Lang cupped his hands and said, "I'll keep an eye on it."
Ye Xingzhou peeled a banana and asked, "What's wrong with Fang Rong today?"
Speaking of Fang Rong, Du Lang frowned. "He deliberately set up a trap to spread rumors to lure others to pick the Seven Star Grass, then pretended to be injured to lower their guard and take the opportunity to steal the token."
"The number of people eliminated in the past two days was too fast. He alone doesn't have that much ability. I suspect there are other people working with him."
The biggest changes in the current rankings are Fang Rong and Xiang Xiuyuan.
Lu Yue still has fifteen tokens.
Xiang Xiuyuan is an outer sect alchemy disciple, and is in the early stage of foundation building.
Lu Yue is an outer sect swordsman disciple, and is in the middle stage of foundation building.
The bone and tendon powder that Fang Rong used today is only available to Dan cultivators, and the person most suspected is more likely to be Xiang Xiuyuan.
Du Lang hesitated, "Xiang Xiuyuan's cold personality doesn't seem like someone who would seek cooperation."
"Let's talk about it when we meet tomorrow."
"Um."
It's late at night.
Du Lang is meditating and regulating his breathing.
Zhang Zhuo looked at the monkey at his feet, his hands itching, so he asked Ye Xingzhou for a banana to tease the monkey.
The monkey bared its teeth, jumped up and punched Zhang Zhuo.
Zhang Zhuo clutched his stomach and said, "I gave it a banana, why did this monkey hit me?"
He was beaten for speaking, and he was beaten for trying to please.
Does this monkey dislike him?
Ye Xingzhou patted the monkey's head and said, "It probably thought you were trying to bribe it to usurp the throne."
Zhang Zhuo was speechless for a moment.
This guy has a very strong possessiveness.

"Elder Sun, if Fang Rong passes the assessment and becomes your inner disciple in the future, you must teach him well."
Elder Sun looked constipated.
The scene of Fang Rong being doused with a bucket of excrement was still clearly imprinted in his mind.
Who dares to touch this?
Elder Sun: "This disciple has too many thoughts and needs to be evaluated."
Xiao Ping was watching the fun and didn't mind the big deal. "This is clearly a sign of both courage and strategy. Elder Sun, accepting Fang Rong is the icing on the cake for you."
Elder Sun must be secretly happy to have such a disciple.
Elder Sun said nothing.
Originally, he admired Fang Rong very much, but his methods were really not up to par.
Plus, Ye Xingzhou intervened and insisted on pouring manure on it.
The scene was so clear that I always felt uncomfortable when I saw Fang Rong afterwards.
Xiao Ping has accepted Ye Xingzhou's behavior of playing with shit.
It feels good just thinking about pouring shit on people you hate.
At this time, Zuo Chunhui, who was still eating cakes, really couldn't be ignored by everyone.
From grapes to pastries.
Elder Qi couldn't help but offer a false compliment, "Elder Zuo, bon appetite."
Zuo Chunhui raised his eyebrows and gave Elder Qi a look.
"You want to eat too?"
"No, no, no, just eat it yourself."
With this kind of psychological quality, he was too lazy to take a second look.
Zuo Chunhui narrowed his eyes indifferently, picked up the tea with his slender fingers, put the wall of the cup against his lips, and took a sip.

On the fifth day of the assessment, only fifty-four people remained.
The water waves rolled and a fourth-level spirit python appeared.
Wherever there is a fourth-level spiritual python, there must be opportunities.
The disciples present for the assessment, led by Lu Yue, discussed a temporary truce, gathered their men, and unanimously agreed to deal with the spiritual python first.
"Junior brother, I think there's a trick."
After what happened yesterday, Zhang Zhuo finally became smart.
Ye Xingzhou stood on the top of the mountain and looked towards the water. The situation below was clear to him.
The giant python was rolling around, its body was huge, and its jet-black scales were shining with strange colors under the sunlight. Upon closer inspection, it was found that the giant python's body under the water had four legs, and it was full of spiritual energy, and it seemed to be soaring into the sky.
"That's a Jiao, not a python."
"It's a tribulation."
Du Lang's eyelids twitched, "I can't go."
When a four-clawed dragon goes through tribulation, it will attract seven thunder tribulations.
At this time, the dragon is the weakest and its temper is also the most violent.
Even if he was weak, he was no match for a group of them in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
It is impossible for others not to know about this situation.
Lu Yue has a good relationship with people, and there are always some disciples who go to the water area with a lucky mentality. Seven or eight cultivators have gathered around the water area.
A layer of dark clouds had gathered in the originally clear sky, and there was a faint sound of muffled thunder.
It seems that they want to wait until the thunder strikes the dragon at its weakest before taking action.
If a thunderbolt strikes a person, at the very least, the Dantian and tendons will be completely destroyed, and at the worst, the soul will be completely destroyed.
Du Lang frowned, then relaxed the next second.
Everyone has his own destiny.
There is always a price to pay for greed.
Ye Xingzhou stared at the dark clouds in the sky in a trance.
"If the lightning strikes a tree, there will be ready-made lightning-struck wood."
Ye Xingzhou and Du Lang looked at each other, and then stared at the trees around the water in tacit understanding.
It's better to find a bargain than to lose your life.
