Ancient Eden - Chapter 124
Chapter 124
(39.2)
Mu Qing was really a bit angry now. Monkeys messing things up, she had not told Li Mang about it, thinking that this was not a particularly big deal, for she did not want him to be distracted. At most she just had to run over there and drive them away herself.
But by the look of things now, it seemed this group of monkeys was getting increasingly bolder and no longer afraid of her, getting absolutely unrestrained. If she didn’t teach them a lesson, in a few days, if the cave where they stored the food was discovered by them, she was afraid they would come to loot it. At that time, she alone would not be able to withstand against them all.
Mu Qing didn’t dare to throw stones at the monkeys to drive them away for fear that they would throw them back and hit her, so she just picked a large piece of firewood to drive them away. At this time she suddenly heard a roar behind her.
The roar was deep and low, but long-lasting and full of majestic anger. Mu Qing was startled and looked back, only to realize that it was actually Xiao Hei who heard the commotion and rushed over here.
Xiao Hei’s two front paws and shoulders were slightly crouched down, and its pair of eyes were staring fixedly at the monkeys, like it was ready to pounce at them at any moment.
Mu Qing was extremely surprised that Xiao Hei could actually make such a roar. She had gotten used to the whimpering sound it usually made with its throat when it was following her, she felt like Xiao Hei was always acting spoiled all the time.
The monkeys were obviously as shocked by the roar as Mu Qing was. Soon, without knowing which one led the way, all the monkeys darted desperately while squealing towards the high trees where they usually perched, and in a flash, they were up in the trees, jumping around on the branches, looking a bit uneasy.
Mu Qing was both surprised and delighted, she never thought that this group of monkeys would actually be afraid of the angry Xiao Hei. Turning back, she wanted to reward it, Xiao Hei usually loved nothing more than to rub itself in her arms and have her stroke its fur.
But unexpectedly, perhaps due to the fact that previously she had blamed Xiao Hei for something it did not do, so it kept a grudge against the monkeys for making it take the blame, but Xiao Hei made a low roar, and quickly rushed to the tree. When Mu Qing finally realized what was happening, she saw that Xiao Hei had already climbed up the tree, made a leap, and bit the back of the neck of a small monkey that could not run away in time.
Xiao Hei descended the tree and flung the monkey in his mouth to her feet, holding it down with its paws, before looking up at her and letting out its usual whimpering low cry, sounding a little like it was pandering to her.
Several deep teeth marks appeared on the little monkey’s neck and blood kept gushing out from them. Probably paralyzed from fear, it did not try to escape even as Xiao Hei let go of it, it just shrank and shivered.
Mu Qing squatted down, and lifted up Xiao Hei’s black paws to look at them, and saw that the sharp claws that were usually hidden in the soles of the thick cushion of flesh were now sticking out, like a set of iron hooks. Just now, it must have used its claws to climb up the trunk of the tree. When she touched it, the claws immediately retracted again.
Mu Qing rubbed Xiao Hei’s head. Xiao Hei looked extremely excited, and lowered its head, seemingly wanting to snap the little monkey’s neck.
The monkeys on the tree, after the shock, started squeaking and shouting in their direction, but they just didn’t dare to come down. One female monkey, however, suddenly became rash and restless, she leaped down from a high branch, fell to the ground and rolled around a few times. Not even caring about the pain, she immediately rushed and then stopped at five to six meters away from Mu Qing, her eyes staring at the little monkey on the ground, squeaking anxiously.
Xiao Hei was interrupted and looked very unhappy. Looking up at the female monkey, another deep and low roaring sound came from his throat, full of threatening intent.
The female monkey looked a little frightened, but instead of leaving, she slowly approached, her eyes looking at Mu Qing from time to time, as if she was begging for pity.
