RITAAB 72.2

The first volley of sixteen people firing simultaneously, every shot a headshot, sixteen ordinary monkeys on the other side of the river dropped dead silently.

All the other monkeys reacted only to hide deeper into the forest. This was truly very shocking to them. After all, they are monkeys, no matter how intelligent they are, they couldn’t possibly know about guns and ammunition.

Wu Feiyang, “The monkeys have all hidden in the forest, you all wait a bit, see if they’ll come out again.”

The two highly reverted monkeys, with the other monkeys, hid deeper into the area, not only not coming out, but they couldn’t even be seen.

There was only the faint shadow of some monkeys, but they couldn’t aim at their heads. Wu Feiyang sighed, with each person only having ten bullets left, now they could only use one per person, the rest couldn’t be fired.

“In that case, just throw the grenades, tell all the flying beastmen to come, those with claws have priority, and tell them the contribution points for this mission will be high.”

But the number of willing participants was not many, the rest retreated when they knew they had to drop grenades over the monkey clan, in the end only one ordinary beastman in the form of a hawk was left.

“I’m willing to throw the grenades, Captain Wu, let me give it a try.”

Wu Feiyang, “Okay, you come over first, I’ll teach you how to use this grenade, so you don’t end up blowing yourself up.”

“Okay, Captain Wu, I’ll be sure to learn well.”

The grenade was actually just a hand grenade, but this hand grenade was the newest one developed, its explosive power was several times that of an ordinary hand grenade. After pulling the pin, it would explode in five seconds.

The hawk transformed into beast form, grabbed a grenade and flew towards the direction of the monkey clan. Here he needed to calculate the five seconds, but he didn’t need too long, as long as he could ensure the grenade in his claws would fall to the ground within five seconds.

He controlled his speed, hovered over the monkey clan, pulled the pin and released his claws, the grenade fell, the five seconds were enough for it to hit the ground, the monkeys there didn’t even have time to react before being blown up.

This directly killed thirteen or fourteen monkeys, and at least twenty more were seriously injured and immobilized, not to mention the lightly injured ones. All in all, the losses were quite severe.

You know, the monkeys hiding in the forest were all huddled together, so this one grenade could achieve such a great result. It might be that the snipers just scared them earlier, so when they hid deeper into the forest, many monkeys chose to crowd together, thinking it would give them more safety.

But little did they know, this was the ultimate reason for their heavy blow. Now less than half of the monkeys on the other side of the river were still unharmed, this was the perfect time to launch a surprise attack.

Wu Feiyang called down to the two waiting below, “How’s it? Can you go for a surprise attack now? The supporting monkeys haven’t approached yet.”

Xia Liansheng swished his tail and nodded, indicating it was okay, and Xie Sihan had no objections either. When they crossed the river, the sixteen snipers on the roof could provide cover, and if any monkeys approached the river bank trying to attack them, the snipers could take them down.

Of course, just sending the two of them over wouldn’t do. In addition to the two highly reverted monkeys, there were still forty to fifty ordinary monkeys left; they couldn’t let them interfere with the battle.

So in addition to the two of them, many useful ordinary beastmen were also deployed, a total of thirty, all seasoned fighters.

Xia Liansheng led them across the river, apart from spending a little time crossing the river, there were no other problems.

And the monkey clan did attack when they were crossing the river, their attack method was to gather stones and throw them, a simple but effective method, it was difficult for them to dodge while swimming in the river, as long as the aim was good, it would be a bullseye, let alone Xia Liansheng and Xie Sihan’s larger beast forms, making them even easier targets.

But fortunately, the snipers were powerful, the twenty-odd ordinary monkeys near the riverbank were all killed with headshots within ten seconds, not a single bullet wasted!

The only thing was that Xia Liansheng and Xie Sihan were each hit by two stones, their skulls slightly aching, but otherwise nothing serious.

They had just landed, when they encountered the two highly reverted monkeys not far from the riverbank, the two monkeys huddled together, their eyes coldly looking at Xia Liansheng and Xie Sihan.

It was easy to guess, among the beastmen that crossed the river, only the black panther and gray wolf were the most powerful, the rest of the animals were left to the ordinary monkeys behind them.

Xia Liansheng and Xie Sihan originally planned to fight one-on-one, but now seeing the two monkeys always sticking together, it meant they couldn’t separate these two monkeys.

If they didn’t want to be picked off one by one, they could only team up together.

Xia Liansheng swished his tail, tested his body slightly, and glanced at Xie Sihan, Xie Sihan was not stupid, she naturally knew Xia Liansheng’s meaning, nodding to indicate she understood and agreed.

Of course, what other option did she have now besides agreeing?

Facing these two highly reverted monkeys that insisted on fighting together, Xia Liansheng was helpless, these two monkeys were also good at climbing trees, but fortunately he was quite proficient at it too, since he had to climb trees frequently when carrying out missions.

Xie Sihan was a gray wolf, she couldn’t climb trees, so she could only follow Xia Liansheng, waiting for him to drive the monkeys down from the trees before she could launch an attack. Of course…

With her large size, she could still jump up to a certain height, although she couldn’t directly attack from the ground, she could at least provide cover for Xia Liansheng, so he wouldn’t be surrounded by the two monkeys.

The two sides were in a stalemate, neither making the first move, but just because they weren’t moving here doesn’t mean nothing was happening elsewhere, the ordinary beastmen have already engaged the ordinary monkeys.

The thirty-odd ordinary beastmen, half of them could climb trees, they attacked a few monkeys together on the trees, forcing them down to the ground for their companions below to deal with, then they went on to attack the other monkeys in the trees,

This strategy turned out to be quite effective. Although some were injured, there were no serious injuries or casualties, in fact it was because the remaining number of monkeys was not high, after they killed more than twenty, the remaining eight or nine monkeys fled into the depths of the forest without looking back.

It’s understandable, when it comes to running in the forest, the monkeys’ speed is really fast, they couldn’t catch up even if they tried. In the end, they just hid in the distance, watching the battle between Xia Liansheng’s team.

They didn’t go back directly because if the escaped monkeys came back, they might pose some obstruction to Xia Liansheng’s team, so they had to stay nearby, and then leave together with Xia Liansheng’s team later, but keeping a safe distance, otherwise they might get caught in the crossfire.

Some of the mutant beastmen present had not witnessed this kind of battle before, everyone was focusing intently, but the two monkeys and Xia Liansheng’s team still hadn’t truly engaged.

When Xia Liansheng was in the tree attacking those two monkeys, Xie Sihan would stay close to the large tree where the monkeys were, to prevent the two monkeys from flanking Xia Liansheng, but the monkeys would just flee to another tree.

They just wouldn’t make direct contact with Xia Liansheng, it was as if they were still choosing to delay time, even when all their ordinary monkeys behind them were dead or fled, they didn’t seem to care.

Could it be that the reinforcements coming are the powerful ones? But Lin Yuze had said earlier that he only saw one with signs of reversion, the rest were all ordinary monkeys.

Could it be that there are other highly reverted monkeys hidden among them that Lin Yuze didn’t see?

Xia Liansheng missed another swipe, those two monkeys would dodge every time he attacked, fleeing to another tree.

Back and forth, it must have been more than a dozen times, not only Xia Liansheng, even Xie Sihan was a bit impatient, but they dared not show any sign of distraction, if they were discovered, they had no doubt that these two monkeys would seize the opportunity and kill them.

Xia Liansheng was now somewhat irritated, the situation was at a stalemate, should they just keep waiting? The two monkeys looked very relaxed, but their side was very tense.

Just as Xia Liansheng narrowed his eyes, preparing to attack again, Xie Sihan down below gave a gentle call, Xia Liansheng didn’t look down, his eyes fixed on the monkeys.

But the idea he had just had to attack quickly had diminished a bit, he had been a bit impulsive earlier, and Xie Sihan must have noticed. After he calmed down, he saw that one of the monkeys had a stone gripped in its front paw at some point.

Because the monkey’s palms are really big, sometimes when they grab a stone, it’s not easy to notice.

Xia Liansheng swallowed hard, so that monkey had a stone in each of its paws, waiting for the moment when he became distracted?

If a stone that the monkey’s palm couldn’t even fully cover hit him at this close range, would he really be done for here?

Xia Liansheng focused his full attention on them again, the highly reverted monkeys were highly intelligent, they had been paying attention to Xia Liansheng and Xie Sihan on the ground the entire time.

Apparently they also noticed that Xia Liansheng had seen the stone in its paw, so they simply didn’t hide it anymore, casually placing their paws on it, as if displaying it openly.

Xie Sihan stared intently at these two monkeys, to be honest, this was all because of her own doing, but she really didn’t feel that it was all her fault.

What kind of era is this? Mutant beastmen have to eat the meat of reverted animals to recover quickly and last longer, this is something many people know.
