"Try not to cause conflicts. The mandrills are a very low-key race. There is no record of hurting anyone in the records. They mostly hide from humans." Goddess Tongming reminded.
Knowing that Zhan Yue had been discovered, he no longer hid, but got out generously.
Under the dark forest under the blood moon, the two monsters each held a lantern, emitting a dim light. With this light, Zhan Yue could see the two people clearly. They looked very similar, but their statures were slightly different. One was taller and one short, one was thin and the other was fat. They were much smaller than humans, like larger monkeys. The monster's upper body was naked and hairy, its lower body was covered by a dress made of animal skin, and its skin was the color of yellow withered turf. Even the taller mandrill only reached Zhan Yue's chest.
The disk-like face has a pair of big eyes, and the ears are also slender. Their noses are very prominent, much larger than humans. They look very funny. If I use one word to describe them, they are ugly. What's more important is that they don't have tails and stand upright, so they are closer to humans than monkeys.
"I've met... I've met two mountain gods..." Zhan Yue showed great awe.
"Eh? What's going on with this guy? I haven't figured out how to trick him yet, and he's already been fooled." The fat mandrill named Ding Ding asked in confusion.
"Whatever, maybe he's stupid, I'm afraid our looks scared him." The thin mandrill named Dangdang looked at Zhan Yue and asked, "How do you know we are mountain gods?"
"Um" Zhan Yue's mind was racing, and then he smiled flatteringly: "How dare ordinary humans go out in the middle of the night? Even if they go up the mountain, they will find a place to hide with me. These two generous people walk at night, and they look so wise. Shenwu is the same as the legendary mountain god, so I guessed that you are the mountain god."
"Dangdang, what does Ying Ming Shen Wu mean?" Fat Mandrill asked.
"It means...it means that we are like the king, and the king often says that he is wise and powerful." Thin Mandrill Dangdang explained.
The fat mandrill Ding Ding was very impressed by the words, and even his aura became a little stronger, as if he had really become a king.
"Human, do you have any wine with you?" Dingding asked.
"Well, I got lost in the mountains and was forced to spend the night here. I didn't bring any wine with me, but there is a lot of good wine in the village." Zhan Yue replied.
"Now that we have met the mountain god, there is no reason why we should not pay tribute. Go back and get some wine..." the thin mandrill Dangdang said hurriedly.
"No, no, what if he runs away after coming down the mountain?" Dingding asked.
"That's right. How about we go with him? But the king won't let us get close to human villages. Last time, a few of them stole human chickens without good reason. When they came back, they were punished by the king."
Seeing the entanglement between these two monsters, Zhan Yue secretly thought that it was not good, so he said: "You two great gods don't have to be entangled. I will prepare wine for you after I come down from the mountain. If you get the wine and give me some benefits, can I still not come?" ?”
Dingding slapped his thigh and said, "What a great idea! Human beings are all greedy for money. I lied to him and said that when he gives us wine, we will give him a lot of money."
So Dingding turned around and said to Zhan Yue: "Go and get some wine, the more the better. As mountain gods, we will definitely repay you. When the time comes, we will give you as many amethyst coins as a mountain, which is called Bring the amethyst coins."
Zhan Yue rolled his eyes, they started conspiring loudly again, and were they such outrageous lies? Fortunately, their IQs are not very high.
"It's settled, you have to come." Na Dangdang also agreed to the plan.
Zhan Yue was speechless. How could a race with such a low IQ survive to this day?
"Well, if I come back, how will I find you? This mountain is so big." Zhan Yue asked again. He thought this mandrill clan was very interesting. He would meet them in the future when he was strong enough.
"Yes, you are a good person, but you reminded me. Take this sign, and just hang it under a tree here tomorrow night, and we will find it naturally. Remember to act at night." After that, Ding Ding then took a wooden sign and handed it to Zhan Yue.
Zhan Yue looked at the wooden sign and was very surprised. The two characters engraved on it were not the characters of the world of spirits, but looked like a mysterious character that he had studied with his teacher in the original world.
"Barbecue?" Zhan Yue recalled the research in his memory and said it subconsciously. It seemed that this was what these two weird words meant.
"Do you know the words on this wooden sign?" the two mandrills said with bright eyes.
"No...I don't know him." Zhan Yue secretly thought something was wrong.
"Don't try to lie to us. We have all seen it. You clearly recognized the words on this wooden sign! Dangdang, we are prosperous!" The mandrill named Dingding looked at Zhan Yue as if he were a rare treasure.
"No..." Zhan Yue didn't expect that his knowledge would harm him, so he ran away immediately.
But he saw the mandrill named Ding Ding escape into the earth in an instant, and then catch up with Zhan Yue. He stretched out a pair of hands from the ground, causing Zhan Yue to fall over. Then a linen bag filled Zhan Yue. Originally, the two of them were preparing to drink wine.
"Escape from the Earth?" Zhan Yue didn't expect this mandrill to have such a method.
"Carry it away, carry it away! We have made a meritorious service!" The two of them carried the linen bags and quickly headed towards the mountain.
"What should we do?" He didn't know anything about mandrills, and he was afraid that he would suffer big losses if he actually fought.
"Don't be afraid, let's see what they want to do? If there is real danger, I will take action." The voice of the Transparent Goddess reassured Zhan Yue. She seemed to be interested in this race, and now was the best time to learn about them.
"You can help me from such a distance?" Zhan Yue said in surprise.
"Don't worry, I have a backup plan. I will keep an eye on you until you are safe." The Tongming Goddess said. She was very thoughtful. She didn't tell Zhan Yue the truth before because she was afraid that Zhan Yue would know that she had her own protection. He was acting unscrupulously, but there was no need to keep it a secret in front of him.
The two mandrill tribesmen ran along and sang happily.
"Hey, my luck is really good today; well, the two of us have done a great job; well, we will sit in the front row for meals from now on~~~~"
Zhan Yue only felt that his body was bumping all the way. He was caught carrying a bag and was very uncomfortable at the moment. According to the feeling, he seemed to be getting lower and lower, as if he was going down the mountain. Although there was a space ring, in order to hide it from others, Zhan Yue also carried a bag. Only very important things were put in the ring, and other items were in the bag.
After a long time, Zhan Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief and finally stopped.
"You two, what good things have you brought back?" A voice sounded.
"Xiao Mumu, what does it have to do with you? We have to go back and rest."
"Little Wood? You used to call me Brother Wood, but now am I too timid?"
"You are just a stinky gatekeeper. In two days you will have to call me Brother Dingding and him Brother Dangdang."
"Bah, you two bastards deserve to be called brother. Come on in, I'm going to close the door."
As Zhan Yue listened to these conversations, he seemed to be carried into the mandrill clan's lair.
