Somewhere in Monkey Mountain——
There was a sound of trickling water outside, and it was dark inside, with only a ray of light coming from the cave entrance.
A golden monkey with a round belly was lying on a flat stone, with a dozen large peaches placed beside it.
After he finished eating one, he reached out and took another peach, putting it in his mouth and biting it, enjoying himself very much.
Then, there was a sound of wet footsteps on the ground.
A monkey, soaking wet, scratched his cheek as he approached. When he saw the golden monkey inside, his eyes lit up.
"What's the matter?" The golden monkey lying on the rock heard the sound and hummed without looking at it.
The monkey mumbled and talked, using his hands and feet, gesticulating and looking very lively.
What it said made the golden monkey, which was eating a peach with relish, stop and turn its gaze to it.
There was a hint of curiosity and surprise in his eyes, "What, there's a very beautiful female?"
The monkey just nodded.
The golden monkey was stunned for a moment, then continued, "I'm here now. I'll definitely leave soon anyway." After a few seconds, he continued, "By the way, is there only one female? Are there other orcs?"
The monkey made another sound, and suddenly, a look of fear appeared in its eyes.
The golden monkey looked at his frightened expression and put the peach aside. "Is there a powerful male beast accompanying a female?"
The monkey nodded again.
"Since they came together, they can leave faster. Don't worry, they will be out of here soon."
This is a remote area with very few wild animals. There is no food except peaches. Any orcs passing by here will be attracted by this prosperous paradise at first.
After a long time, before reaching the deep end, one will leave due to various negative aspects.
Because there is no accommodation provided here, they all doze on trees, lie on the ground, or in caves. In short, there are no complete houses.
Naturally, all the orcs who come here will not stay too long. At most, they will pick some peaches from the trees to fill their stomachs.
But peaches are not suitable for them, and peaches are the food they have been eating since they were young. They have lived here for a long time and have become accustomed to it.
"Let them do whatever they want. Don't disturb me while I'm eating peaches. They'll leave soon anyway. Don't panic." The golden monkey touched his bloated belly and burped loudly.
Beautiful female...
The more beautiful the female is, the faster she will leave Monkey Mountain. Which female would stay here for so long? At most, she would appreciate the beautiful peach blossoms for a while.
Not to mention staying here for a night, there are many insects at night, and her male beast will definitely carry her away in a hurry during the night.
The golden monkey smiled, his face showing the same confidence in himself as always. After eating the peach and satisfying his stomach, he closed his eyes, looking very happy.
Seeing that he was preparing to rest, the monkey crossed the waterfall cascading from the top of the mountain and left.
......
Shen Qi casually grabbed a peach from the tree. The peach was almost bigger than her hand.
I took a bite and it was crispy, sweet and juicy. It didn't feel soft and mushy, but had a very crisp bite.
Shen Qi raised an eyebrow and looked at the peach flesh in her hand.
Turning his head to look at Yuan Ze beside him, he said, "This peach is delicious. Why don't you pick one and try it?"
"I'm not hungry." Yuanze glanced at her bitten peach, then shifted his gaze back.
Shen Qi nodded, continued to nibble on the peach with a hint of sweet fragrance, and looked around.
She found that apart from the monkeys who had warmly entertained her at the beginning, she had not seen any other living creatures, not even a single wild animal.
The dark clouds in the sky began to creep out, hiding the white clouds.
As the sky gradually darkened, Shen Qi sat up in an open space with sparse weeds.
Yuanze stood in front of her, his eyes lowered. "How do I find the grass you need?"
Shen Qi swallowed the peach meat and said, "It's almost dark. Let's camp here for the night. Monkey Mountain is not like our tribe. We don't have fire to illuminate it. It's a waste of effort to look for it now."
It's so dark, I don't know how long it will take to search. It's better to sleep for a night and make plans later. Even with a torch, it can only illuminate a small area. The chance of finding the right person by relying on this weak light is very slim.
Yuan Ze raised his head, and the sky quickly turned dark. He lowered his head to look at her and said, "You stay here. I will be back soon."
Yuan Ze just turned around and took a step before adding, "Make a fire. It will be easier for me to find you when I come."
Shen Qi didn't know what he was going to do, but she responded.
After she finished eating the plump and juicy peach, she quickly found a bunch of dry sticks, piled them together, added some hay, and quickly lit them with a lighter.
The flames quickly ignited, the fire gradually grew bigger, burning fiercely, emitting a warm light, illuminating everything around.
Shen Qi sat under the tree, leaning against the thick trunk, his hands crossed behind his head, watching the sparks flying, which seemed to be shining with life-like power in the darkness.
While she was watching, Yuanze came back. She looked to the other side and saw that he was holding a small rabbit in his hand.
There were fresh bloodstains on the snow-white fur.
Yuan Ze saw her lowering her eyes again and said, "Roast this rabbit and eat it. I barely found one after leaving Monkey Mountain."
Shen Qi raised an eyebrow, took the rabbit from his hand, cleaned the fur, and roasted the whole thing.
Not long after, the rabbit's skin was roasted and blackened. Shen Qi cut it open with a knife and saw that the meat inside was not bloody, and the meat was very tender and cooked.
"It's ready, come and eat." Shen Qi looked at Yuan Ze who had his eyes closed.
Without opening his eyes, he uttered a few words through his thin lips, "I have already eaten. This rabbit is for you."
Shen Qi was slightly surprised, then said: "I'm full too."
Yuan Ze slowly opened his narrow, long, almond-shaped eyes and looked at her, frowning slightly. "What did you eat?"
"peach."
"Will this fill you up?"
"The peaches here are bigger than other fruits. One is enough to fill you up." And the peach she picked was much smaller than those on other trees.
One was just enough to satisfy her hunger, and now she had no desire to eat anything else.
He brought back this rabbit, and it was actually prepared for her?
Yuan Ze frowned again, "Then you lost it."
Shen Qi looked at the rabbit that hadn't been eaten a single bite, and said softly, "Save it. You can eat it tomorrow morning. Wrap it in clean leaves first."
After saying that, she stuck the wooden stick into the ground, found a clean large leaf, wrapped the rabbit meat in it, and tied it with a straw rope to prevent insects from getting in.
After finishing, she leaned against the tree again, closed her eyes and rested, ready to wait until tomorrow morning to look for the fairy grass again.
