RITAAB 73.1

Chapter 73.1

If even this doesn’t work, how are mutant beastmen supposed to live in the future? It’s just that she didn’t expect this time that the monkey clan would come for revenge.

Especially in the situation where their combat power was clearly insufficient in the early stage.

If Liu Zhongyuan’s team were here, these two monkeys would be a piece of cake for Qin Jiulin or Liu Zhongyuan. But Liu Zhongyuan’s team was sent out on a mission, what kind of mission she didn’t know, and it wasn’t something she could know either, so now they could only rely on themselves to deal with the current difficulties.

If possible, she still feels that she should have just left back then without dealing with that monkey, then they wouldn’t be in this mess now.

If someone dies because of this, or if this base suffers a major loss, she would truly be unforgivable. Although Xie Sihan didn’t feel that she was completely wrong, she knew this trouble was caused by her.

If it was someone else who caused the trouble, she probably would have said the same things she overheard others say before, criticizing the one who brought the trouble.

Xia Liansheng swished his tail, and the gray wolf Xie Sihan on the ground quickly refocused, if she got distracted now, and something went wrong as a result, wouldn’t that be like a case of sinking the boat in the gutter?

These two monkeys were not something simple to deal with either. Xie Sihan stared intently at the two monkeys still in the trees, it’s not that they weren’t strong in combat power.

But they just wouldn’t initiate the attack, every time Xia Liansheng found the opportunity to attack, they would quickly dodge. Judging from their dodging speed and technique, these two monkeys were definitely strong!

Not to mention Xie Sihan, even Xia Liansheng was quite puzzled, now before attacking he would think it through carefully, could these two monkeys have some plot, waiting for him to become anxious and lose his composure or expose a weakness, then kill him effortlessly?

Xia Liansheng guessed right this time, the two reverted monkeys had this plan in mind. Now Xia Liansheng was tense, and the huge gray wolf on the ground was eyeing them vigilantly.

If they caught an opportunity, the two monkeys would certainly severely injure, if not kill them, so they were now trying their best to avoid direct confrontation with Xia Liansheng.

They were using their own advantages to keep dodging, making the enemy anxious, and once they were anxious, their subsequent attacks might become chaotic, in which case the gray wolf assisting on the ground might not be able to keep up.

Their method was not bad, but the ones facing them were not real panthers and gray wolves, but two people. Xia Liansheng, in the face of this situation, instead of becoming anxious as the monkeys had hoped, became even more cautious, confirming with Xie Sihan on the ground before every move.

This way, the two sides had been chasing and evading for more than half an hour, but still hadn’t officially engaged in battle, both sides were starting to get impatient.

The other beastmen observing from afar had also changed from their initial tense state to resting together, occasionally glancing over, wondering when they would start fighting?!

Xia Liansheng dared not make any big moves now, not even daring to take a deep breath, his breathing was very slow, so that his posture wouldn’t change too much.

As for the gray wolf standing on the ground, because she had been constantly looking up, she felt her neck might not be able to support it anymore, she had no choice but to take a few steps on the ground, shaking her head to relieve it.

But letting this drag on was not a solution either, after all, the monkey reinforcements might arrive soon, if they wanted to win, they had to finish the battle before the monkey reinforcements arrived.

At the very least, they had to injure one of the monkeys, so as to weaken their combat power.

Xia Liansheng gritted his teeth, he decided to go for a quick victory. After confirming with Xie Sihan on the ground that there were no problems, he finally launched the attack. This time when he pounced, the monkey still dodged to another tree like before, perhaps it was out of habit, every time the black panther didn’t continue to chase after the initial dodge.

But this time… it could be said that Xia Liansheng got lucky. After pouncing and missing, instead of just standing there like before, he pushed off the tree branch with his hind legs, and sank his teeth into the slightly slower monkey’s hind leg!

Although the black panther’s size was not as large as Qin Jiulin’s tiger, this bite was fierce enough to break the monkey’s hind leg bone.

The monkey with the broken leg let out a piercing scream, startling the distant beastmen, they all shifted their gaze towards Xia Liansheng, and by the time they saw, Xia Liansheng had already released his mouth without any greed for glory, distancing himself to a nearby tree, looking quite cautious, while Xie Sihan was still dutifully guarding at the foot of the tree.

It was good that Xia Liansheng had retreated quickly just now, otherwise the other monkey’s claws would have come down on him, the timing was just a second apart. Xie Sihan didn’t find an opportunity to attack, but her presence successfully intimidated the two monkeys, at least they didn’t pursue Xia Liansheng.

Xia Liansheng let out a sigh of relief, resting on the tree branch for a while. One of the monkeys had a broken leg, although it didn’t seem to have a big impact on them, after all, monkeys use all four limbs and their tails for climbing trees.

Now with one leg missing, the problem wasn’t big, but… it was still impactful. As Xia Liansheng caught his breath, his eyes were firmly fixed on these two monkeys, the one with the broken leg was now glaring at him with bloodshot eyes, as if it would tear him apart the next moment.

Before, the hatred and bloodlust in the eyes of these two monkeys were all directed at Xie Sihan, it seems he has also helped divert some of that resentment.

Qi Yu went forward to observe the situation, and soon returned to where Liu Zhongyuan’s team was.

Qin Jiulin, “How’s the situation?”

Qi Yu, “The monkeys are indeed heading towards the base, I saw them join up with less than ten monkeys, those few monkeys that joined them were coming from the direction of the base, they looked very disheveled.”

“Seems like they were driven away by the soldiers and beastmen at the base, this batch of monkeys looks like they’re going to the base to fight, what should we do, brother Qin? Should we hurry back or…”

Qin Jiulin, “At our current speed, it’ll take us a little more than an hour to get there…”

Mo Xinghui, “How about this, I’ll go back first, you all catch up quickly behind me…”

Qin Jiulin blinked, “Zhongyuan, me and Mo Xinghui will go back first, you lead Zhang Yuankai and catch up behind us, with your size on the way, no animal would dare to cause you trouble.”

As for Zhang Yuankai, the pangolin’s speed is not enough, going back first probably wouldn’t be of much use.

Liu Zhongyuan gently swished his tail, signaling his agreement, Qin Jiulin smiled, “Don’t worry, you know my strength, since it’s like this, then we’ll go first.”

“Oh right, Qi Yu, you don’t need to rush back, stay here and keep an eye on the situation around Zhongyuan.”

Qi Yu, “Okay, I understand.”

With that, Qin Jiulin and Mo Xinghui transformed into their beast forms and quickly disappeared into the forest, their speed was very fast, it was just a blink of an eye before they were gone.

Zhang Yuankai, “So fast, I wish I could have that kind of speed, but unfortunately I don’t…”

Qi Yu, “I’ll take to the sky… I’m going up.”

Liu Zhongyuan continued hurrying with the boxes on his back, and Zhang Yuankai transformed into a pangolin form, nestled securely between the scales, not causing any trouble.

The snow leopard’s speed was also not to be underestimated, speaking of which, feline animals all seem to be very fast. The two of them didn’t take long before they saw the silhouettes of the monkeys at the foot of the mountain ahead.

But the silhouettes of the monkeys quickly disappeared, the two exchanged a glance and continued on, trying to catch up to them before they reached the edge of the base.

On Xia Liansheng’s side, the stalemate was still maintained. The monkey with the bitten leg had several large gashes from Xia Liansheng’s teeth, now unable to stop the bleeding, the blood kept dripping to the ground, making the bloody smell around them very strong, giving them all the urge to kill.

Xie Sihan in particular stared intently at the bleeding leg of the monkey, now wishing she could just go up and bite the two monkeys to death, but Xia Liansheng on that side was still motionless, was he still resting?

Soon, both of them noticed some sounds coming from the distance. From their long observation of the monkey clan, Xia Liansheng and Xie Sihan naturally knew what those sounds were – the movement of the monkey clan in the forest.

In other words, these two monkeys had really waited for their reinforcements! So what should they do now? Retreat now? If they don’t retreat, then…

But at this moment, the two monkeys suddenly changed their previous attitude and tactics, and now they started to attack actively. Just as Xia Liansheng’s ears twitched to listen to the sound, the two monkeys launched an attack on Xia Liansheng.

Xia Liansheng jumped up with the fastest speed, reflexively flipping his body in the air, landing lightly on the trunk of another nearby tree, while Xie Sihan quickly positioned herself between the two trees, blocking the monkeys’ continuing attack.

If they dared to come towards Xia Liansheng now, they would be met with Xie Sihan’s gaping jaws, unlike Xia Liansheng’s black panther, which could only bite off or break one leg, Xie Sihan could directly bite them in half with one bite!
