"Chilarious chirping chirping." A loud noise came from afar. Although the sound was sharp and harsh, it had some strange rhythms and ups and downs. It obviously had the most basic characteristics of the language, and of course, it was only the most basic characteristics. Panis frowned. He had a keen sense of smell. He had already smelled the smell on these mountain apes over a hundred meters away. Obviously, this smell was not so amazing.
After receiving the warning from the Night Owl, everyone did not choose to escape. First, because if they choose to escape into the forest now, it is the darkest time period, and it is difficult to ensure normal travel. Second, the forest is the territory of mountain apes, and fighting against mountain apes in the forest is the least ideal choice, and it is better to defend on the spot. The most important thing is the third point, mountain apes are not aggressive, and they can often choose to communicate with actions and graphics to a certain extent, so fighting may not necessarily occur. Even if a fight really occurs, life will often not endanger life. Therefore, no matter which reason, sticking in place is the best choice.
Soon, the mountain apes had advanced to the visible range between the woodlands. The appearance of the mountain apes is not much different from that of ordinary apes. The same brown-yellow body hair is also upright and can be hung to the forelimbs of the knees, and the same strong and developed lower limbs are difficult to distinguish from the appearance. The real difference is the subtleties. For example, although they are also mixed with ordinary apes, they move forward in a mixed way of walking limbs and walking upright, but the time for walking upright is far higher than that of ordinary apes. For example, although they are also noisy and scattered, they have a little more discipline and constraints than ordinary apes. For example, they prefer to climb on trees than ordinary apes, and mountain apes choose to walk on the ground more often. For example, several of the mountain apes have several thick bamboos on their backs, which is a behavior that ordinary apes cannot do.
"Yeah? Bamboo?" Panis was stunned when he saw the bamboo behind the mountain apes. He looked at their size, shrugged and sat down again: "It's okay, don't be nervous. This is a group of female mountain apes responsible for collecting plants. As long as they don't attack them on their own initiative, it will have no effect on us."
"Are you sure?" Dora stared at the group of apes that had already discovered everyone not far away, and asked with some doubt: "It's very dangerous to be unsuspecting."
"I'm pretty sure. Look at the bamboo behind them, which is their collection container, with an empty middle for fruits. And if you look at their size, the male apes will be thicker than them and their fur will be slightly darker than them." Panis said: "And if you choose a warning posture, you will convey a malicious signal. If they are more sensitive, it may induce their counterattack. This is a completely unnecessary battle, so sit down with peace of mind."
"He was right." Elad also nodded in support of Penis's point of view: "It is the best choice to ignore them at this time."
"Okay." Dora waved his hand hesitantly, signaling the mercenaries to sit down again, but his eyes still looked in the direction of the ape group intentionally or unintentionally.
At the same time, the ape group also discovered the human team and stopped moving forward. They gathered together and looked at the humans sitting together vigilantly, constantly communicating with screams and roars. After observing for a while, they found that the humans did not directly pounce on and attack like other monsters. Only then did they feel relieved to return to the forward formation. Several weak apes returned the same way, and most of the remaining avoided the crowd from the side of the mountain and sank into another jungle.
"It's really like you said." Dora exhaled: "Fortunately there is no need to fight. Although these monsters are only silver-level, if an encounter occurs, it will be troublesome if a large number of male apes are attracted."
"No, it's trouble now." Panis frowned and looked at the apes when they came with a bad face: "Did you notice the apes that returned the same way?"
"You mean, they went back to report the news?" Catherine was the first to understand Penis's implication: "Are they that smart?"
"They are very, very smart in the monsters." Panis said seriously: "Maybe they are so vigilant because we are too close to their habitat."
"Do you know where they live?" Elard exclaimed: "I haven't found it in so many years."
"I don't know either." Panis shook his head: "It's just a guess from their way."
"What happens when they go back to report the news?" Lina imitated Panis and looked into the distance, but only saw a sea of trees: "Will they send large troops to attack us?"
"Not that exaggerated." Panis shook his head and said, "The worst case is that the strong men in their population brought some more powerful apes to drive us out, and we were not allowed to enter the Broken Skull Hill again, but we were dispatching large troops for the sake of our few people."
"What should I do?" Catherine said in embarrassment: "It will be very troublesome if you can't enter the Broken Skull Hill."
"At worst, you can spend a few more days taking a detour. You don't have to worry about dietary supplies anyway." Panis spread his hands and changed his face to a relaxed smile: "This may not happen at all. Even if it happens, there are some ways to solve it. Even if it cannot be eliminated, you can still take a detour to where we are going, so there is no need for you to be so nervous."
"Okay, keep eating." Catherine trusted every judgment of Panis and no longer had a nervous expression: "No matter what happens, you must be full. Even if you fight, you must be full before you have the strength. Don't look at it, eat quickly."
As a certain wizard scholar once said in his psychological research, things that may have problems will always go wrong. The more you worry about it happening, the more it will happen. Shortly after everyone finished their meal, the night owl who had climbed up the tree to watch out again issued an alarm, and more than ten mountain apes were rushing toward this place.
"It's really troublesome." Catherine took off her shield helplessly: "Is this a fight necessary?"
"Fighting seems to be difficult to avoid." Panis thought for a while and suddenly laughed: "But it doesn't matter, there is a good way to solve it, although we have to fight."
"Good way?" Everyone looked suspiciously at Panis pulling the Fantasy Fox aside, whispering something, and occasionally pointing at Dora with their fingers. The Fantasy Fox shook his head and refused at first, but he seemed to be persuaded by Panis very quickly and asked Panis. Panis took out the paper and pen, and hurriedly drew a picture and handed it to the Fantasy Fox. When the Fantasy Fox took the picture, his expression on his face wanted to laugh but forced him to hold it back was very wonderful.
"Hey, what are you two thinking about?" Dora asked dissatisfiedly when she saw the two of them returning, "I have to say it secretly."
"Can't say it." Panis mysteriously raised his finger and shook it gently: "Absolutely, it won't work if you say it. Don't worry, even if I want to harm you, the Fantasy Fox will not agree to it right?"

"Dongdong, dongdong, dongdong." The mountain apes in the distance were not so running, but rather jumping. With the help of vines and trunks in the dense forest, the ten apes seemed to fly, and jumped a few meters in the dense forest, which was surprisingly fast. Panis had a very correct concern before. At such a speed, if he was chased in the mountains and forests, he would never be able to escape.
The ten male apes that ran over were significantly stronger than the previous group of female apes. The one in the lead was more than two meters tall, with thick and powerful limbs, and an inverted triangle body shape. Even if covered with brown and yellow hair, you can still vaguely see the knotted muscles below. Although their bodies are thick, they leaps like flying in the forest. Obviously, their bodies are flexible and their reaction speed is amazingly fast.
"Roar, squeak, squeak." The various screams of varying heights clearly penetrated into everyone's ears through dozens of meters. Catherine covered her forehead with a melancholy face and sighed: "They are really... too noisy."
"Actually, it's still okay now." Panis twitched: "You haven't spyed on their settlements, so it's really lively. Hundreds of apes can make the entire settlements noisy than the market area of the Capital of Knowledge. The most important thing is that they can still live on their own, which is not easy."
"Ten golden levels, I really value us." Catherine looked at the running group of apes: "But it should be no problem. You can win, after all, they are still a monster, and there is no fighting spirit."
"No need to be so troublesome." Panis stood beside Catherine calmly with her chest in her arms, and gave a glimpse of the fantasy fox. The fantasy fox sighed helplessly, formed several spell seals on her hands, and cast an unknown magic. Seeing that the fantasy fox had done all this, Panis smiled and said, "Their leaders may take the initiative to ask for a duel later. Thank you for your hard work, Catherine."
"I'll do it? OK, no problem." Catherine agreed without hesitation: "But, are you so sure? You always feel that something bad is being done, and you're going to play with me again?"
"Haha, how could I be so kind to fool people?" Panis looked at the sky and whistled a few times as if nothing had happened: "If you want to play, you will be fooling the monkey on the other side."
"I don't believe it." Catherine glared at Panis with a laugh and cry, and told her, "Remember not too much."
"Don't worry." Panis raised his hand and pointed: "They are here."
The apes, who were not far away, leaped vigorously and jumped more than ten meters in the air, falling from the sky like dark clouds. A large area of blackness was pressed down, and when they landed, it made a dull sound, splashing a lot of gravel on the ground.
"Roar roar." The leading ape hit his chest with both hands, raised his head and made a huge roar. The other nine stood behind him and cooperated with him. Seeing the ape group's every move, Panis suddenly frowned and said to Catherine in a low voice: "I'm trouble. The leader actually led the team out. Their chief's strength is not simple, high-level gold, and he can simply use rough fighting spirit, which is not easy to deal with."
"Do I have to be empty-handed?" Catherine asked.
"How is that possible?" Panis shook his head and said, "You can use weapons."
"Then I won't lose." Catherine ignited a fighting spirit and said confidently: "If the sword and shield are in hand, I won't lose to any enemy within the golden rank."
