Chapter 153 Monkey Valley

This game is really full of dangers, Xiao Jie muttered to himself while looking at the screen.

You can encounter such unexpected events while traveling. It is a surprise to encounter a fortuitous encounter, but it is simply a shock to encounter such a situation.

You guys, a bunch of monsters, instead of just staying at home and waiting for adventurers to come and attack you, are actually running out to kill people and rob. Isn't that a bit too much for your job?

Xiao Jie secretly complained in his heart and sent a message to me, Yu Chengxian.

Yin Yue Sui Feng: Cheng Xian, how are you? Are you safe?

I Want to Become an Immortal: It’s safe now, there are no monsters around.

Yin Yue Sui Feng: Where are you now?
I want to become an immortal: Open the map I gave you, I am not far to the south of the pagoda.

Xiao Jie opened the map photo that I had sent him when I wanted to become an immortal. In the woods southeast of Luoyang Plain, one could indeed see the symbol of a pagoda. The map marked it as [Pagoda of Rebirth]. Further south was a patch of black fog, which was obviously an unexplored area.

Most of the areas on the map given by the village chief have been explored, and only the more dangerous adventure areas are black. This means that I may have entered a dangerous area in my quest to become an immortal, which makes him somewhat worried.

Yin Yue Sui Feng: Be careful and don’t walk around. I’ll come over to meet you soon.

I Want to Become an Immortal: Okay, Brother Feng, come here quickly, I have a task here.

Hmm? Xiao Jie was a little surprised. The tasks in this game are rare. I am very lucky to become an immortal.

He locked onto his target and galloped into the forest.

Xiao Jie didn't dare to go too deep and only moved along the edge of the forest where the trees were sparse. Occasionally, if he encountered one or two wild beasts, his warhorse would speed up and leave them behind.

It’s so cool to have a warhorse. It feels like you’re walking through a field of flowers without getting a single leaf on you.

The only thing you need to pay attention to is not to hit the tree, otherwise it is easy to get into trouble. However, with Xiao Jie's operation, as long as he concentrates, such low-level mistakes will not occur.

After running for about ten minutes, he could see the spire of the pagoda in the distance, towering above the forest, standing there in a dilapidated state. When he got closer, Xiao Jie discovered that the pagoda was actually a monster spawning point. The door of the pagoda was closed, and on the weed-covered square below the pagoda, there stood a fat monk with a lot of flesh on his body, stewing in a big pot.

Wujie (Cannibal Monk), Elite Level 19. HP: 1000.

There were a few skinny old monks around, eagerly waiting for the meal to be served.

When Wujie saw Xiao Jie, he burst into laughter and said, "My dear donor, it is fate that we meet. Why don't you stay and have a vegetarian meal before leaving?"

Xiao Jie didn't dare to stay, so he accelerated and bypassed the Pagoda of Rebirth, rushing south along a remote path. Monk Wujie chased him for a few steps and then gave up, turned around and walked back to his big pot.

Xiao Jie turned sideways and looked behind him, only to see that Monk Wujie was looking at the old monks one by one, and said with a smile: "As the Buddha said, cut meat to feed the eagle. You guys can fill my stomach, which is also a good deed." As he said that, he picked up an old monk and threw him into the pot. When the other old monks saw it, they were not panicked, but looked at the big pot greedily.

Xiao Jie's scalp tingled and he sped up again.

Fortunately, I didn’t encounter any particularly scary monsters after that. After comparing the map several times, I finally found the place where I wanted to become an immortal.

There was a bamboo forest in front of me. I was standing in front of the bamboo forest and talking to an NPC.

In front of the bamboo forest is the entrance to a valley sandwiched between two high mountains, and inside the valley is a dense forest.

Xiao Jie looked at the NPC carefully.

It turned out to be a man dressed as a woodcutter, with a piece of white cloth wrapped around his head, blood still seeping out of it. He was carrying a load of firewood behind him and had an axe hanging around his waist.

Zhang Dazhuang (Injured Woodcutter): Level 8, HP 210/240.

Ok, doesn't look threatening.

He ran over and jumped off his horse. I immediately shouted in surprise, "Brother Feng, you were so cool just now. Thanks to you for leading the monster away, otherwise I would be in danger."

"Why are you being so polite? We are all brothers. What's the situation with this person?"

Zhang Dazhuang (the injured woodcutter): "Ah, fellow returnees, it's great to see you. I've heard about your deeds. Can you do me a favor? My monkey escaped into the valley ahead and disappeared. Can you help me find it?"

"Your monkey?"

"Yes, that is the monkey I raised since it was young. It is very smart and clever. I don't know why it suddenly went crazy and escaped to the valley. If you can help me bring the monkey back, I am willing to teach you my ancestral martial arts."

"Ancestral martial arts?" Xiao Jie wondered if this was true, what kind of martial arts could a level 8 NPC have.

"Of course not. I am just a woodcutter. I also use knives to make a living. This martial art was suddenly realized by my grandfather when he was chopping wood. It is definitely very powerful."

System prompt: Trigger the task [Find the Monkey], help the woodcutter find the monkey 'Maomao' who is lost in the Monkey Valley.

Mission reward: Sword fighting skill × 1.

(The martial arts that you suddenly realized while chopping wood? Could it be that you can cut things in two with one blow?)

He was not very interested in the reward for this mission. Even if it was not a complete cut, it would probably be just a similar ordinary combat skill. It could not be said to be useless, but it was not of much value to him now.

But he was somewhat interested in Monkey Valley.

There must be a lot of monkeys living in the Monkey Valley. Maybe I can learn the recipe of monkey wine. If I can learn how to make monkey wine, that would be a real way to make money. Even if I have money, I'm afraid I won't be able to learn advanced martial arts.

"Why don't you go find it yourself?"

"There are many monkeys living in that valley. When they get close to me, they throw stones at me. Look, my head is broken. How can I dare to go in?"

There are really monkeys, not bad, worth a visit.

Look at the time, it’s only two o’clock, there’s still some time before dark.

Xiao Jie clicked to accept the task.

"Okay, we brothers will take care of this matter. Let's go in and take a look."

I Want to Become an Immortal was a little surprised, "Ah, why do you suddenly want to do this task, the reward is not that good." "I am mainly interested in the monkeys in the Monkey Valley. If this task is easy to do, I will do it by the way." He didn't care much about this combat skill. What good skills can a woodcutter have? The main reason is that the price of monkey wine is rising steadily now, and Xiao Jie can't help but want to find a monkey to talk to. Moreover, he has never seen a monkey in this game, so he can't help but feel a little curious. This monkey has hands and feet. If it can be caught as a pet, I wonder what skills it has.

I want to become an immortal, and then the two of them walked towards the valley.

The woodcutter shouted from behind, "Be careful, those monkeys are very fierce."

Xiao Jie didn't take it too seriously. This guy was just a level 8 civilian. He was able to walk out alive and only lost a few dozen points of blood. There was nothing for him to be afraid of.

Besides, he has the ability to speak animal language, but to be on the safe side, Xiao Jie still summoned Big Bear.

The pet will automatically disappear when it is too far away from its owner. When traveling, because you have to ride a horse, the pet will disappear every time you run.

Fortunately, you can summon it again at any time by using the summon pet skill.

The two men and the bear walked towards the valley, observing the mountains on both sides as they walked. The Monkey Valley was surrounded by steep mountains on both sides and was very steep.

Inside the valley was a dense forest, tall and steep, with dense branches and leaves blocking out the sunlight, making the surroundings appear quite dim.

"Gugu ga ga!" A strange cry made Xiao Jie look up, and he saw a big monkey lying on the tree, carrying a straw bag full of stones.

Stone Slinger: Level 6, HP 120.

Now I feel more relieved. It's just a level 6 monster. But I'm here to learn skills, so I'd better be polite.

"Don't do it, I mean no harm." Xiao Jie shouted loudly.

"Gugugugu, you can speak our language? What are you? A human? A big monkey?"

"I am a human being, but I know a little bit of monkey language."

"What are you doing here, human?"

"I'm here to look for a lost monkey."

"Gugugugu, there are monkeys everywhere here. Does the monkey you are looking for have a name?"

"It's called Maomao."

"Gu-gu-ga-ga, gu-gu-ga-ga, looking for Maomao, looking for Maomao! Someone is looking for Maomao." The monkey suddenly screamed like crazy, knocking the tree trunk desperately with the stone in his hand. A rustling sound was heard among the woods. Countless monkeys came out of the valley, swinging on the branches, and hanging densely on the surrounding woods.

Xiao Jie secretly thought that this was not good. Although these monkeys were not of high level, only about level six or seven, they were all hanging on the trees, and most of them were ranged monsters. It would be very difficult to deal with them if they really came to a fight.

"Get out of here human, there's nothing furry here."

"Get out!"

Something is wrong! Why are you so excited? Is there something special about this Maomao?
The originally neutral monkeys instantly all turned into red monsters.

Holy shit, what's going on?
Xiao Jie was shocked, and the next second a stone flew towards him.

The stone was not very accurate, and Xiao Jie dodged it by crouching down. However, I was hit twice by Yu Chengxian, but fortunately the damage was not high, and I only lost a few drops of blood. The two of them hurriedly raised their shields.

Stones rained down on him.

The shields were smashed with clanging sounds.

Xiong Dake had no shield to protect him, and was hit seven or eight times at once, howling in anger.

"Fuck, these monkeys are crazy, retreat quickly."

Even if you have a bow and arrow, it will be useless at this time. The opponent's attack is too fierce. If you fight back, you will definitely be hit by crazy fire. With this little blood, you can't shoot so many monkeys.

The two men retreated with their backs to back, holding up their shields for defense, but they were still hit several times. Fortunately, the monkey's damage was not high, and the two men escaped from Monkey Valley in embarrassment.

Xiao Jie looked at his health and found that it had only dropped by a dozen points, but the durability of his shield was almost broken.

Xiao Jie looked towards the valley with lingering fear.

"Damn it! I didn't expect a group of monkeys to be so deadly. By the way, why are these monkeys so excited?"

I, Yuchengxian, guessed, "Could it be that this Maomao is also a monkey prince or something?"

Xiao Jie thought that there were not so many princes. Besides, Maomao was raised by a woodcutter since he was a child, so how could he be a monkey prince?

Besides, there can’t be any royal family among monkeys.

"Could it be that the woodcutter abused the monkeys, and then Maomao told the monkeys in the valley, so the monkeys all wanted to avenge their own tribe?"

Xiao Jie thought to himself that maybe that was possible.

"How about this, you and Xiong Da wait outside, I'll go in and investigate alone."

"Ah, Brother Feng, those monkeys are hard to deal with! And they're already hostile. Won't you be attacked if you go in?"

"Don't be afraid, I know animal language, and I also have this."

Xiao Jie opened the equipment bar and directly activated the equipment effect of the Phantom Pearl - transforming into a human form!
[Transform into human form: Allows you to randomly transform into a human form and make it fit in with the surrounding environment. ]

With a puff, Xiao Jie was covered with white mist. When the mist dissipated, he turned into a savage.

He has a bronze body, eight-pack abs, wears animal skin shorts, a rattan belt, has bare hands and feet, and his hair is loose. At first glance, he looks like Tarzan.

Oh my god, Xiao Jie was a little surprised, the effect of this thing that fits in with the surrounding environment is really magical, it is so smart that it can even conjure up this savage.
