When Ye Feng turned around, sure enough, four monkeys were harassing him from behind…
Every now and then they would come up and scratch or claw at his legs...
His eyes remained fixed on Ye Feng, while he kept making "ooh ooh" sounds...
It was as if she was teasing him…
Every time Ye Feng tried to step forward and deliver a blow, they immediately retreated...
Both speed and reaction time are extremely fast…
Once Ye Feng stopped chasing them, the monkeys began to harass them even more aggressively…
Their coordinated attack perfectly illustrates what it means to retreat when the enemy advances and harass when the enemy is exhausted.
This is almost exactly the same attack pattern as the monkeys of Mount Emei.
At this moment, Ye Feng felt surrounded by enemies, although these monkeys couldn't cause him any real harm...
But it's annoying, and if you're always in a passive position, your stamina will be depleted very quickly...
After thinking it over, he made up his mind and decided to ignore the monkeys and focus on shooting at the trees.
Soon, several more monkeys were shot down…
Seeing that Ye Feng was ignoring them, the monkeys behind him rushed forward together.
Two of them grabbed Ye Feng's legs and started biting him.
The other two climbed onto his shoulders, ready to tear his head apart.
But Ye Feng suddenly grinned maliciously and immediately dropped the compound bow in his hand.
In an instant, he grabbed the monkey that was directly above his head with his left hand and pulled it forcefully forward...
With his right hand, he drew his Nepalese knife and stabbed fiercely...
"puff!"
The knife pierced the monkey's chest immediately...
At this moment, the two monkeys that were still clinging to his ankle and gnawing on it seemed to realize they had been tricked…
He immediately let go and tried to escape...
But Ye Feng wasn't about to give them that chance...
He quickly reached out and caught the monkey that was moving the most and was the most annoying to him...
"Let's see where you run this time!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the monkey, seeing its tail restrained, tried to turn around and bite...
Ye Feng grunted and suddenly swung his arm forward with force...
The monkey drew a semicircle in the air before crashing heavily to the ground.
Ye Feng then thrust out his knife, and the monkey screamed for a while before losing its life.
He originally wanted to look for the two monkeys behind him, but found that they had already escaped back to the tree.
"Hmph, you think you can just run away after you've finished? Not so easy!"
Ye Feng picked up his compound bow again and began firing at the monkey troop once more…
They are just animals with slightly higher intelligence, but compared to humans, they are still far inferior.
Soon, the monkey troop was shot down and scattered, while Ye Feng continued to relentlessly pursue them.
These guys are very territorial. If we don't scare them off, they'll definitely keep bothering us.
Five minutes later, the monkey troop gradually disappeared from sight, and the surroundings became quiet again.
At this moment, Ye Feng was standing in a relatively flat dense forest, staring blankly at the sky.
To be precise, it was staring blankly at the grapes on the five grapevines in front of him.
That's right, as he chased after them, he found what those Howler Monkeys were determined to protect at all costs.
Amazon grapes —
This tree has a low crown, but can grow to nearly 30 meters tall when mature.
The five trees in front of us are only about ten or twenty meters tall.
Their fruit is purplish-black, and a large clump hangs under almost every part of the canopy.
They look incredibly clear and sparkling, just like individual amethyst crystals.
Ye Feng couldn't help but swallow hard...
These grapes are extremely rich in nutrients…
It contains vitamins, minerals, amino acids, pigments, carbohydrates, and other trace elements.
They look and are about the same size as regular grapes, but their skin is about twice as thick.
The seeds are also quite large, about the size of a fingernail…
Moreover, the two fruits are different kinds...
Grapes belong to the Vitaceae family. The vines have very thin trunks and need external support to climb and grow.
However, Amazon grapes belong to the nettle family and grow into large, gray trees that reach waist-thickness when mature.
The flesh is sweet and very juicy, and I've heard it also has a faint minty flavor.
Ye Feng had heard of this kind of grape, but had never eaten it.
"Hehehe..."
He chuckled to himself, never expecting to find such a unique and advantageous resource.
It wasn't in vain that I went through so many hardships to get here.
He tossed the compound bow aside and, with a look of excitement on his face, quickly began to climb upwards…
The look in his eyes was even more excited than when he saw a 36D swimsuit beauty.
Before long, Ye Feng had climbed to the top of the tree…
The rich aroma of grapes constantly stimulated his senses, and he couldn't wait to quickly pick one...
As soon as he tore off a piece of the outer skin, the pale white juice flowed down his fingertips.
"What a shame to waste!" he said, pouting as he took a sip.
With a whoosh, "Ah!..."
Ye Feng let out a long, comfortable groan…
It's so sweet, it's fucking sweet...
At that moment, in his heart, this sweet juice was better than any nectar or dew in the world.
He had never felt his body crave sugar so much.
Ye Feng's brain kept issuing commands to him to eat.
So he grabbed the tree branch and started wolfing down his food right there on the tree...
The grapes have very plump flesh, like chewing jelly.
Finally, he got so desperate that he didn't even peel the skin off...
It wasn't until more than twenty minutes later that he let out a burp and slowly climbed down the tree...
Ye Feng smacked his lips, patted his protruding belly, and contentedly picked up the compound bow, then walked back behind the grapevines…
While eating, he took the opportunity to survey the surrounding terrain.
The five grapevines were found not far apart, and from above they formed a crescent shape.
Just over thirty meters behind these grapevines stands a lush camphor tree.
Including the highest point of the branches, it is about 40 meters tall. The branches are very thick.
It was even thicker than the elephant-leg trees in his previous camp.
It must have been quite a few years ago...
This tree is not only very resilient, but also has many branches, and its crown when mature is like an umbrella.
It would be perfect as the foundation for a treehouse…
Just as he was about to reach the tree, another cry came from the surrounding area…
The sound was somewhat shrill, and it sounded like the cry of a small animal.
And it was making a lot of noises, so there must have been more than one...
"Huh?"
Ye Feng frowned slightly, his curiosity leading him to follow the sound...
Before long, he found the source of the sound under a tree…
Those... were actually two baby howler monkeys.
Generally speaking, baby monkeys stay with their mothers, so why are they alone here?
"Could it be? Did I shoot his mother to death? Or did I scare her away?"
Ye Feng was slightly taken aback. At present... it seemed that only these two possibilities were most likely...
He stepped forward and took a closer look; the two monkeys were about the size of his palm…
