Song Mi’er led Hao’er and the other two around the area but saw no other beasts. She suggested to them, "Why don’t we look for some ingredients or supplies nearby? There shouldn’t be any fierce beasts around here."
Hao’er glanced around and said, "Sister Mi’er, don’t worry about us. We can protect ourselves. You go gather ingredients! The three of us want to explore a bit further."
"But..." Song Mi’er hesitated. After all, the danger here was lurking—who knew what might suddenly appear?
"Sister Mi’er, don’t worry! We’ll protect ourselves," Yue’er said with a bright smile.
"We came out to test how much our skills have improved. We can’t always rely on you to protect us," Muchen added.
Seeing this, Mi’er glanced at the three of them before finally saying, "Alright then! But you must be careful. If you encounter a fierce beast you can’t handle, run back immediately. Safety comes first."
"Got it." The three responded, exchanging glances as a hint of amusement flashed in their eyes.
"We’ll follow you!" the two Jingwei birds told Hao’er and the others. "Our Master ordered us to protect you."
Hao’er and the others exchanged a glance with the two Jingwei before nodding. They continued forward. After traveling a considerable distance, Hao’er turned to Muchen and Muyue. "Should we stay together or split up?"
Muchen and Muyue looked at each other, considered for a moment, then said, "Let’s stick together for now. We’ll see if any fierce beasts appear."
"Alright." Hao’er nodded and continued forward.
Truthfully, given their current skills and strength, he felt quite confident even if they split up. Moreover, Yue’er now had an exceptionally powerful contract beast, so there was no need to worry about her.
"Did you hear something?" Muchen stopped and looked toward a certain spot in the forest.
Hearing this, Hao’er and Yue’er also stopped and listened intently. Faint, faint sounds drifted out from the dense foliage.
"Sounds like monkeys," Yue’er remarked, glancing at them. "Could it be that group of Golden Silk Monkeys from earlier?"
"Let’s go check." " Hao’er said, leading them toward the source of the sound.
The two Jingwei following behind overheard their conversation and immediately stepped forward to block their path. They addressed Hao’er: "Young Master Chen, those Golden Silk Spirit Monkeys are not gentle creatures. On the contrary, they are combative and live in large groups. If we pursue them, it would be unwise."
Hearing this, Hao’er replied, "There were roughly thirty to fifty monkeys earlier. Even if we find their main nest, there couldn’t be more than fifty or sixty. These Golden Silk Monkeys are gregarious creatures, but their groups never exceed a hundred. They’re combative—perfect for us to hone our skills."
"But..." They tried to protest, only to see the three already striding ahead. Reluctantly, they followed.
Within the dense forest, towering trees formed a natural canopy of green leaves. Even at midday, only faint sunlight filtered through the thick foliage, casting slanted patches of light.
A damp air hung heavy, carrying the faint scent of decaying leaves mingled with earthiness, carried by the gentle breeze.
Around a tree so massive three men couldn’t encircle it, a troop of Golden Silk Monkeys leaped and darted through the branches...
