As the spring water flowed from the cliff into the pool, it masked our sounds, and soaking in the water also masked our smell. It was dark at night, and we were hiding in the water, so we couldn't see any clues. The eyes of an orangutan function almost the same as those of a human, so when there was no movement here for a long time, it went to look elsewhere.

I vaguely heard the sound, and then I came out. The girls immediately got up from the water, gasping for breath.

"I'll go and listen for any noise. You guys stay on guard in the water at all times. If I'm discovered, you guys immediately continue to soak in the water." I whispered to Yunwen beside me, and Yunwen passed it on to Bailu, who then passed it on to Yingchun.

After they basically heard everything, they nodded at me.

I slowly went ashore and listened towards the house. There was no sound of movement for the time being, but I could faintly hear their humming and humming. I thought they must be communicating in some way at this moment. I took out my hands and counted on them: one, two, three, four, five, a total of five orangutans. Although their voices were all the same, they were of different thicknesses and the sound quality was somewhat different.

The difference is just like the different voices of human speech.

The cries lasted for a moment, and soon they went upstairs one by one. When the last one went upstairs, I once again heard the slight sound of the jade halberd touching my skin. It was it!

After making sure they went upstairs and left, I stretched out my arms towards the girls, closed my fingers, and waved them towards my body. When Bai Lu saw this, she immediately followed with the girls. We returned to the house, and then I continued to use the special forces' gestures, making the advance gesture, the stop gesture, and the silence gesture. Bai Lu fully cooperated with me and instructed the other girls to obey.

Then, there were a few clanging sounds from the rooftop. I guess someone must have been crawling away from the cliff. I returned to the Eight Immortals Table and found the Golden Que Sword. I used the Qi in my body to make it glow. This didn't take much of my energy, as I could see from the time I broke into the monkey forest and the dangerous area at night. As long as I didn't use it too frequently or converted it into physical energy, it wouldn't cause much harm to my body.

The light illuminated the area near the table, and I saw that nothing was missing. Even the dishes were still hot. But at this moment, I suddenly felt something was wrong. The hot food had been moved, but the position of the earthen plate had obviously been moved, which meant that they had just touched.

There were five gorillas in total, four of them were clearly looking in four directions, so what was the other one doing? Could it be?

This is how the position of the dish is changed!

If you understand sacrifice, you will definitely understand the meaning of fire. This is a huge turning point in the transformation of human beings from apes to humans since ancient times. It is also a symbol of the growth of wisdom. The orangutan wearing a jade dagger touched the place where the food plate was and felt the warmth on it. He might know that people were nearby, and then communicated with the tribe and left. This logic does not make sense.

Or maybe I'm overthinking it. How could an ape know the meaning of hot and cold food? But I still feel creepy.

"I haven't seen you for half a month. Why did five or six scouts suddenly come to raid us today? What's going on?" I muttered to myself.

The girls also quietly came over and asked me, "Brother Zhou Bo, what's going on?"

"There is no situation for now, but we cannot judge the intelligence level of the gorillas, so our crisis is not over. If they become suspicious and understand some principles, our place may have been completely exposed. We can't live here, and we can only hide in the cellar tomorrow." I said.

"But if we go down, what should we do during the hottest days of summer?" Yunwen asked.

I really haven’t thought about this.

"It's just a horse. If it dies, it dies. Our own lives are more important. Why do we have the time to worry about it? Listen to Brother Zhou Bo. Let's take care of ourselves first and hide in the cellar." Song Yingchun said.

"That won't work. Those gorillas are extremely brutal and won't let Sanfu go. I saved it, and I can't just watch it die. I have to think of a way." Yunwen said quickly.

"If Sister Yunwen is worried, why don't we release it late at night and let it fend for itself?" Song Bailu asked tentatively.

"Nowadays, wild beasts are rampant. It is the time when jackals and wild dogs are out and about. If we let it out, it will surely be eaten to pieces. We can't do this. Zhou Bo, please help persuade it. Don't let them treat Sanfu like this, okay? It has finally gotten better mentally recently and is not so frightened. If it is surprised again, I'm afraid it won't be able to bear it." Yunwen quickly turned to me, holding my hand and begging.

I really wanted to help, but the situation was not so easy to have the best of both worlds. I was a little hesitant. I only had one choice between a human and a horse. After all, the horse could not go down to the entrance of the tunnel.

"Oh, Zhang Yunwen! Don't be too greedy. Just because Zhou Bo is nice to you, you can do whatever you want. This is not allowed, and that is not allowed! Do you want us all to be killed by the rocks thrown by the gorillas like those wolf spiders? If you don't want to go down, don't drag Zhou Bo down. He still has to take care of us. If you want to save your horse, go and save it yourself!" Song Yingchun immediately grabbed my other elbow and confronted Yunwen.

"Okay, Yingchun, don't talk about your sister Yunwen like that. Yunwen girl, think about it again. Horses have their own lives. When we can't save ourselves, we can't take care of them. I suggest you release them and let them decide their own fate, okay?" Bai Lu said.

Yunwen was sobbing with tears in her eyes. She begged me, "Zhou Bo, Zhou Bo! Please talk to them. Sanfu saved my life. You told me that. If I just abandon it and let it die, I would be worse than an animal. I will agree to anything you ask of me. I can be your slave. I just ask you to think of a way to protect it, okay?"

I held her hand tightly, and she looked at me pitifully. I felt a little bit reluctant and held it in for a long time. I really couldn't say those realistic words.

At this moment, the sound of Sanfu's roar was heard outside, and the sound of it banging against the pillars of the wooden shed was heard. It was obvious that it was very restless!

"Can it understand human language?" Yingchun asked doubtfully.

But Yunwen and I knew what it meant. It was not that it understood our conversation, but that something had scared it, and it was scared very badly.

With the intensity of this, there must be something threatening its life!

And the restlessness in my heart feels like it's about to burst out...

"The dog days!" Yunwen rushed out of the door regardless of everything.

I hurried to stop her, but Yunwen had already opened the door. When she opened it, we all gasped, and the cold air was enough to choke us to death!

Under the moonlight, the front garden was filled with gorillas. Some were standing side by side fighting, some were divided into several rows, some were standing on the wall with rocks in their hands, and some were already standing not far in front of Yunwen, all of them staring at the group of us with terrifying and murderous eyes.

What's even more terrifying is that the gorilla standing in the front, closest to Yunwen, is muscular, tall and strong, with rough black fur that makes him stand out among the gorillas. The scar on his face and the familiar ferocious eyes make it impossible for me to mistake him. He is the dominant gorilla that has fought countless wolf spiders single-handedly. At this moment, Yunwen is only five or six steps away from him, so it is impossible for him to run away.

Yunwen stood there in shock, trembling all over, almost collapsing. I quietly picked up the Golden Sword in my hand and approached that place. Before I got close, I said to Bailu and Yingchun, "You two go through the back door and go around the water to the left. You will find a cave. Go down and hide there first. Come out when the situation becomes clear."

Bai Lu quickly asked me, "Brother Zhou Bo, what about you? Aren't you going with us?"

"Of course not. If I leave, Yunwen will be dead, right? Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly when they are not paying attention. Otherwise, I will be too busy to handle it later." I said.

Bailu nodded, and hurriedly and quietly took Yingchun to walk behind, but Yingchun turned her head, sighed, and said: "You will be killed by this woman sooner or later!"
