The battle had reached a fever pitch. The macaques had all retreated back to the peach grove, and the hunting dogs had returned to the hunters' side. The three fierce dogs were working together to attack the white ape...
The white ape was fast and its attacks were threatening, making it difficult for the hounds to carry out their attacks so easily.
However, two fists can't fight four hands, especially since these are three fierce creatures. They were unable to completely subdue the white ape, but they did leave some injuries on its body.
Such an injury is not fatal, but it can make the white ape even angrier, causing it to lose its mind.
The white ape was nearing madness; it possessed the strength to roam freely in this mountain forest, which allowed it to develop the monkey troop it protected to this size.
But now, these damned creatures have stormed into its territory and slaughtered its monkey offspring.
The white ape wanted to avenge them, but it was powerless against these ferocious dogs. It dodged their attacks while letting out sharp howls.
The fierce dogs continued their unhurried attack. They had already taken control of the battle. With the combined strength of the three big guys, they believed that winning the battle was only a matter of time.
To their surprise, just as victory seemed within reach, the crowd suddenly began to shout…
"Demon King, come back... Seng... come back..."
"Ah Huang, come back... quick, Ah Huang, come back..."
The shouts of the crowd startled the three fierce dogs; they didn't understand why their owners were calling them back at this crucial moment.
Taking advantage of this moment of distraction, the white ape did not launch an attack, but instead leaped a few times to dodge the encirclement of the three fierce dogs.
"Ah Huang, come back."
Chen Chongshan called out to Ah Huang again, and this time, Ah Huang did not hesitate and turned around to run towards Chen Chongshan.
In Ah Huang's world, Chen Chongshan's orders always come first.
With Ah Huang leading the way, Sengge also ran back. Only the Demon King was still somewhat unwilling, but it knew that without the help of two assistants, it had no way to deal with this guy.
They've already wreaked havoc here today; they can retreat now.
After the Demon King returned from the other side of the stream, the peach blossom forest on the opposite bank finally returned to calm. The macaques that had gone back to hide popped their heads out again, curiously looking around.
The white ape stood on the large rock, coldly watching the crowd and dogs, wondering why they had suddenly retreated.
After a while, the pack of dogs remained quietly beside the group without making a move. Only then did the white ape relax its guard slightly, jump down from the large rock, and run to the corpses of the slaughtered macaques.
Looking at the mess on the ground and the corpses of seven or eight macaques, the white ape's face showed an extremely sorrowful expression.
The white ape bent down and carefully picked up the macaque's carcass, piece by piece, and carried it into the peach blossom forest. This action made the real people watching feel a little sad.
"Look, that guy seems to still be crying."
Suddenly, the moment the white ape turned to look down at everyone, Xu Jiaming shouted out. Then everyone looked closely and, sure enough, saw a few glistening teardrops on the white ape's face.
"This guy, could he really be a savage? I wonder if he can speak."
Liao Bin was a little scared, and then he spoke.
"Why don't you just talk to it and you'll find out?"
Xu Jiaming replied.
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
Xu Jiaming was only joking, but Liao Bin took it seriously. He nodded immediately, then walked to the stream and called out to the white ape just a few meters away, "Hey, can you talk?"
Upon hearing Liao Bin's shout, the white ape was clearly startled for a moment, and then looked towards the crowd. Its cold gaze even revealed obvious hostility.
Can you understand what I'm saying?
The white ape didn't move, so Liao Bin called out again.
"Roar...roar..."
Liao Bin's reiteration seemed to provoke the sorrowful white ape, which suddenly turned ferocious and roared at Liao Bin several times.
Liao Bin was startled. The Demon King made a move to rush out, but Liao Bin grabbed him in time.
"Forget it, Liao Bin, don't provoke it."
Xu Jiaming called out.
"Um."
Liao Bin nodded, returned to the group, and then asked, "What's next?"
"What else can we do? We've hunted an 800-pound wild boar, killed a bear, and even seen a savage. Our mission is accomplished. Let's go back."
Xu Jiaming replied with a smile.
"It's getting late, let's hurry back to camp. This is the deepest part of Shennongjia, there are too many wild animals in the deep mountains and dense forests, it's too dangerous to travel here at night."
Zhou Cong nodded and said.
"Okay, let's go."
Wenfei nodded, then turned around and walked back the way he came.
The stunning peach blossom forest was gradually hidden away by the dense mountains again, and Xu Jiaming was still regretting that he hadn't brought his phone or camera to record it all.
Just then, a series of mournful howls suddenly came from behind. It was the sound of the white ape, and soon, the group of macaques seemed to imitate it and also made such a terrifying sound.
"Damn it, this is terrifying! Let's get out of here, let's get out of here, this is truly a ghost story."
Xu Jiaming was somewhat frightened by the wailing, and he called out. The others nodded in agreement and quickened their pace.
Because of the large pack of dogs, they didn't encounter any danger along the way. Occasionally, one or two clueless creatures would pop out, but they were all driven away by the pack.
Everyone was in a hurry to get back to camp and didn't have much interest in hunting.
……………………
When they returned to the camp, it was already getting dark, and Lao Fu and Cao Yang were preparing dinner by the campfire.
Seeing everyone return, he breathed a long sigh of relief. It wasn't safe for the two of them and the heavily injured Dogo to stay here, and it was also worrying that this group of people had so recklessly rushed into the mountains.
Now that they have all returned safely, it's a huge weight lifted off my shoulders.
"So, did you catch the savage? Did you kill him?"
Old Fu went up to him and asked.
"It's not some savage at all, just a white ape."
Liao Bin shook his head and replied, "That thing has gained sentience and is practically a close relative of us. Killing it would be against all reason."
A white ape? Such a huge white ape?
Cao Yang asked with some doubt.
“We have wild boars weighing a thousand pounds, so this little white ape is nothing.”
