Chapter 24: Trap



Elder Jilian returned to his original position in a rage.

"For this election, after discussion between our two elders, we've decided to adopt a best-of-three format. Starting tomorrow, we'll have one race each day," said Elder Jilian. "The first race will be a 100-meter sprint, the second a tree climb, and the third a swimming race. Each morning, the races will begin at 8:00 AM. Please be mindful of the time; any latecomers will lose."

Upon hearing this, Monkey King pounded his chest with his hands and cried "Oh oh".

A group of flies smelled the scent and rushed towards Elder Jilian, scaring him so much that he ran away in panic.

"Big Monkey Xuxu, you have to work harder this time. I am very optimistic about you." Elder Kakarot patted Xuxu's shoulder.

After the monkey group disbanded, Xuxu and Dalongbao discussed as they walked.

"There aren't many open spaces in the orchard, and even fewer that are a hundred meters long. Let's go scout the terrain and make some arrangements."

"Master, whatever you say is what I will listen to you."

"I'll give you a gold coin, and you go to the grocery store and buy some things."

Xuxu threw a bag of gold coins to Dalong and then started strolling in the orchard.

An hour later, he had almost circled the entire monkey territory in the orchard and found two plots of land with tracks over a hundred meters long. One of the tracks was covered in garbage and certainly could not be used as a race track. So there was only the last track left.

After Xuxu and Dalongbao met up, they headed towards the track where they would be competing tomorrow.

"Have you bought the things?" Xuxu asked as they walked.

"Don't worry, there's only more, no less." Dalongbao replied, patting his chest.

On the track in the monkey tribe’s territory in the fruit forest.

"Master, this is transparent string." Dalongbao pulled out a ball of string. "We'll wrap it around the trees on either side of the 20-meter mark of the 100-meter track. Then we'll trip that golden monkey and you'll definitely win!"

"That's right, but this is the only trap that's not very stable," Xuxu said. "Take a hoe and dig a hole fifty meters down the track. Even if he's lucky enough not to trip over the transparent line, he'll still fall into it."

Dalongbao took out a hoe and ran to dig a hole about halfway along the track.

"How long will it take you to dig with such a small hoe?" Xuxu walked over to look.

"There's nothing we can do. The grocery store doesn't have a bigger hoe." Dalongbao said. He was also very distressed. After all, digging the ground could be done in half an hour. Who would be willing to work for two or three hours?

Xuxu leaned against a tree beside the track and closed his eyes to rest.

First install the transparent line on the big dragon bag, and then dig the hole.

"I'll dig, dig, dig." Dalongbao waved his hoe, "I'll dig, dig, dig again!"

"Bang—"

"Master, master, I think I dug up something?" Dalongbao said in surprise.

Xuxu opened his eyes and looked over.

"What did you find?" Xuxu asked.

The King Kong monkey hiding in the dark looked at Xuxu and the other man, laughing in his heart, and said to himself, "Don't think that you two are the only ones who know how to set traps. I came here to set a trap yesterday. After all, Jiren revealed the content of the game to it in advance."

"It's too dark, I can't see clearly. Let me dig it out first." Dalongbao said, and quickly dug out the thing, shook off the dirt, and observed the object in the moonlight.

"What is that?" Xuxu asked, leaning against the tree.

"Master, this thing looks like a landmine." said Dalongbao.

"Ah—then why don't you throw it away!" Xu Xu said anxiously, "Throw it away quickly!"

Dalongbao shuddered with fear and immediately threw it far away with all his strength.

The mine flew towards where Monkey King was.

boom--

A deafening explosion sounded, flames illuminated the dark sky, and dirt and wood chips flew everywhere.

The King Kong monkey was completely black, a horrible sight, but luckily its name was King Kong and its body was also King Kong, so it did not suffer much damage.

But it was it that planted the landmine, and it was just shooting itself in the foot!
