Around a bonfire, people partook in the unique flavor of a T-rex steak.
“If anyone back on Earth saw them now, their eyes would pop out!”
Du Fei’s mouth was covered in grease, yet didn’t forget to cut Madam Ning’s portion into bite-sized chunks.
“This planet is very much alike the Earth of old. But one thing is certain, this is not Earth in the Mesozoic Era.”
Spiritual root’s Transfer took one to planets through space, not time.
Li Mo looked at the vast and glittering stars strewn across the night sky, finding them foreign.
Having enjoyed their T-rex barbecue, Li Mo placed a very hidden Stellar Orientation Array before going out exploring.
Du Fei, Madam Ning, the panda, Whitey, and Li Mo picked a random direction.
The aboriginal forest stretched far and wide. With T-rexes roaming everywhere, the six meter long sabertooth was like a kitty in a world where twenty-odd meter tall reptiles roamed.
But not one creature had awareness, thus unable to cultivate. They only met with wild animals, while not once seeing a spiritual beast or demon.
They had been walking for six hours already, yet the forest didn’t seem to end. Du Fei lit up and leaped.
He surveyed the horizon from up high and saw no end to the trees.
“This planet can’t be all covered in trees, right?” Du Fei landed, his brow cold with sweat. He was now in the fifth level and could fly, though only shortly, one minute tops.
Ning Xin frowned, “Difficult to say…”
“Roar~”
Panda raised a paw, requesting silence. Then he glued his ear to the ground.
“Roar~”
The panda jumped to his feet and pointed in a direction.
“And what does that mean? We can leave the forest if we go that way?”
The panda wrote in the air, “Monkeys howling.”
“Monkeys?”
“Not just one.” The panda added.
“Let’s take a look.” Li Mo took point.
Whitey followed him in silence. Since jade pipa and nine-headed pheasant’s betrayal, she became withdrawn, speaking but few words a day.
“Kiki~, why are you such dumb dogs? You can’t even learn such basic commands?”
“You damn beasts deserve a beating!”
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
A village appeared in front of them, with reeds as roofs and shoddy architecture.
Three meter tall monkeys, wearing leather apparel, walked around the village. Some were holding ropes tugging on humans walking on all fours.
The humans were men, women, old and young. But not one of them wore a stitch of clothing.
One monkey lashed with its whip at some humans, training them to obey commands.
“Sit! Shake hand! Lied down! Jump! Roll over!”
The beaten humans started moving according to the monkey’s commands.
“T-this…” Du Fei went slackjawed.
“Look there!” Ning Xin pointed.
What was even more shocking was the sight of humans enclosed in a pen and walking on all four like pigs. Whenever a human passed a monkey, they’d act like dogs meeting their master.
A group of monkeys were nitpicking about them. It was as if this was a pet store.
Bam!
To the shock of the gang, a whip sounded behind them. A black monkey stood there.
“You damn dogs, who told you to stand? A dog does not stand but crawls!”
“And you’re wearing clothes? Your punishment is beheading!”
The black monkey shrieked in fury then blew the whistle around its neck as it brandished its leather whip at Du Fei who was the closest.
“Brilliant Fist!”
Hum~
Du Fei flashed and his fist exploded in the black monkey’s face, causing it to falter for three steps before collapsing.
The loud noise caught the attention of the entire village. A thousand monkeys holding wooden and stone weapons howled at Li Mo’s group as they surrounded them.
“Dogs do not wear clothes! Your crimes condemn you! Kill them all!”
“Turn them into dogs and make an example out of them!”
“Attack~!”
Li Mo said, “Knock them out. Don’t kill anyone for now.”
“Got it!”
Du Fei charged while glowing, then he burst with light. Every single monkey the light touched was now seizing on the ground.
The monkeys did not know how to cultivate, relying purely on instinct. With Du Fei’s level, a single fist was more than enough to wipe them all out.
When the light show faded, all monkeys were unconscious.
Du Fei was puzzled, “What’s wrong with this planet? How are humans a monkey’s slaves?”
Entering the village, they discovered this scene played everywhere they passed.
Du Fei released the enslaved humans, but he couldn’t even communicate with them. Every one of them panicked and scampered away, running out of the village.
Du Fei looked for a long time, but there was no sign of writing anywhere, until he stumbled upon a temple with an odd statue.
It was five meters tall, with three heads and six arms. It was a monkey statue wielding three clubs.
The three headed and six armed monkey statue was made of unknown material. It was pitch-black and very sturdy. Du Fei’s all out punch couldn’t even dent it.
“Bro Mo, look at this!”
Du Fei walked out of the temple while holding the statue.
“Kiki~”
The monkeys in hiding were moved at the sight of the statue, prostrating on the spot.
Seeing this monkey statue, Li Mo’s face changed. An old and secret rumor came to mind.
The legend of Sage Spirit Monkey, one of the ten sacred beasts, spoke of having the three heads and six arms trait. They weren’t just for decoration either. This trait of Sage Spirit Monkey made him akin to three opponents of the same realm.
When both fighters were of equal strength, the result would come down to one’s martial arts and secret magical arts. But against a Sage Spirit Monkey, it was the same as fighting three people.
They said the three heads and six arm trait allowed one to split in three, or make three become one. When it was used, one’s power rose three times.
‘Are these monkeys the descendants of Sage Spirit Monkey?’
“Warrior monkey Yi Yijiu(T/N: lit. one hundtred million and nine), wielding the blood of the ancestor, please return and kill these foolish dogs!”
“Fighting monkey Yi Yijiu, wielding the blood of the ancestor, please return!
The monkeys began calling out all around them.
“Bro Mo, what are they yelling at?”
Li Mo’s heart skipped a beat, “This is bad. Ready your earth qi jade!”
