Chapter 427: The Monkey Tribe’s Dilemma
After hearing what the golden monkey said, the white ape's face darkened.
The monkey tribe has lost its former glory. Since the death of the Great Sage Tongfeng, no top-level warriors have emerged.
Originally the top race among the demons, it has fallen to a weak race that can be bullied by everyone.
The territory has also been moved again and again, and it has been excluded from the core circle to the fourth circle.
After the Monkey King, who reached the seventh-level demon beast in the previous generation, led the elite of the tribe to participate in the battle for the saint and died, the strongest person in the monkey tribe now is him, the sixth-level elder who stayed behind.
In the past five hundred years, they have suffered humiliation and oppression. Whenever there is a war between the major races, the monkey tribe is used as cannon fodder, which makes the already declining monkey tribe even worse.
"Yesterday, the crocodile tribe came to ask for 5,000 monkeys, and today the rhino tribe comes again? Do they regard us monkeys as slaves?" The white ape snorted coldly, obviously very annoyed.
"Elder, how many of the brothers they borrowed over the years have come back alive? They don't care about our lives at all!" Tears flowed from the corners of the golden monkey's eyes.
"We have no emperor in the monkey tribe, so they bully us at will. Our king also died for the demon tribe in the battle for the saint!"
After hearing the words of the golden monkey, a trace of sadness appeared on the white ape's face.
He looked up at the sky, and tears quietly fell: "Great Sage! Please show your power! If this continues, the monkey tribe will be extinct!"
The golden monkey was also infected by this grief and anger, and he cried out of grief.
Mo Fan was a little puzzled when he saw this.
From their words, it seems that the monkey tribe is not living a good life. They are bullied every now and then.
He couldn't help but ask: "Elder, what's going on?"
"Alas, you don't understand." The white ape sighed and didn't answer Mo Fan's question.
Turning to the golden monkey, he asked, "Who from the rhino tribe is asking for people?"
"The great leader of the rhino tribe, Xi Bo, is probably close to the sixth level." The golden monkey replied.
"Let's go and take a look." The white ape shook his head.
The rhino tribe lives in the fifth circle, and any leader is close to the sixth level. The leaders of the monkey tribe are generally at the fifth level like the golden monkey.
How can we have an equal dialogue with them?
The monkey tribe now has nothing left except the last glory of this holy land.
A few people followed the white ape out of the holy land and came to the open space in the jungle.
This is the real territory of the monkey tribe, called Monkey Mountain. A thousand miles around is their sphere of influence, and there are 100,000 monkeys living there.
In the middle of the open space in Monkey Mountain, a group of hundreds of monkeys trembled in front of a burly man.
The burly man had a human body and a rhino head, a high nose tip and a crystal sharp horn, and bulging muscles all over his body, which was very majestic.
It was a peak fifth-level monster that was close to transformation.
He grabbed the wine barrel on the wooden table and drank the monkey wine without even looking at the fruits on the table.
The monkeys around were generally at the fourth level, and there were only a few at the fifth level, and they did not dare to look directly at this domineering man.
Seeing the arrival of the white ape, they seemed to have found their backbone and gathered around.
"Commander Xi Bo, what advice do you have for my monkey tribe this time?" The white ape stepped forward and arched his hands, asking softly.
He was not afraid of Xi Bo, but of the power behind them.
The battle for the sainthood is a purgatory for the tribes of the demon country.
Although their strength is not inferior to that of the human race, the laws of the demon tribe are more barbaric.
If the strong men in the tribe died in the battle for the sainthood, it would be bad luck and the whole tribe would suffer.
Therefore, it is common in the demon country that the monkey tribe is oppressed because of the death of the strong men in the tribe.
The rulers at the core of power encourage fighting and do not take it seriously.
Seeing the white ape coming, the strong man of the rhino tribe stood up suddenly, pointed at the white ape and cursed: "Why are you so slow, old man, making this commander wait so long?"
"Hurry up and persuade 5,000 monkeys to join me in the war, and by the way, fill me with 100 barrels of your monkey wine."
"If you dare to disobey me, I will report to His Majesty the Rhino King and destroy your monkey tribe!"
As he said that, he gulped down another big mouthful of monkey wine, and laughed: "You monkeys are not good at fighting, but you are first-class at brewing wine."
The tone of his voice when talking to the white ape was very arrogant, and he didn't look like he was in awe of a strong man who was much stronger than himself.
The white ape frowned slightly, took two steps forward and said: "Commander Xibo, our monkey tribe has fought for the nobles many times, and we have suffered heavy casualties. The crocodile tribe came to demand 5,000 the other day. If we give you another 5,000, I'm afraid you won't be able to defend your own territory."
"We are honoring you with 200 barrels of monkey wine. Please say a few good words for our monkey tribe in front of His Majesty the Rhino King."
The white ape suppressed his anger and said in a flattering tone.
Xi Bo was furious when he heard this, and slammed the table: "Are you kidding me?"
"Don't you know that the crocodile tribe and my rhino tribe are at war? How dare you lend soldiers to the crocodile tribe? Are you trying to unite with the crocodile tribe to destroy my rhino tribe?"
"You don't know how to live or die!"
The white ape said hurriedly: "No, no, it's just that our monkey tribe really doesn't have that many warriors."
"I don't care how many warriors you have, 10,000! I want 10,000 monkey warriors, one less, you can wait for the rhino army to come!"
Xi Bo was furious and doubled the number of people.
In his opinion, the crocodile tribe had already borrowed 5,000. If he also brought 5,000, he would have no advantage. He must have twice as many as the crocodile tribe to have a chance of winning!
He didn't consider how many warriors were left in the monkey tribe.
After hearing Xibo's overbearing words, the white ape's face became even uglier.
The monkeys on the side started to curse: "Ten thousand warriors, our entire monkey tribe may not have ten thousand warriors!"
"You devils who eat people without spitting out bones, you don't care about the life and death of our monkey tribe at all!"
"If the Monkey King is still here, if the Ventilation Great Sage has not fallen! How dare you come to my monkey tribe to make trouble?"
...
The monkeys were excited, but they completely angered Xibo.
"Hahahaha... Can you monkey tribe only guard those old glories?"
"Ventilation Great Sage? Ventilation Great Sage has fallen for thousands or tens of thousands of years, you were not born at that time!"
"My rhino tribe is compassionate and gives you an opportunity to show your own value. You don't know how to cherish it, but you deliberately resist!"
"Okay, okay! You wait for my rhino army to flatten the monkey mountain!"
"Let's see if your Ventilation Great Sage can save you!"
After that, Xibo ran away and stopped bargaining with the monkey tribe.
The white ape's face was so gloomy that it looked like water was about to drip out. As he watched Xi Bo walk away with big strides, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
He gritted his teeth fiercely, and a beam of white light spit out from his mouth, piercing Xi Bo's chest in the distance.
Xi Bo didn't expect that the oppressed monkey tribe would dare to rise up and even kill him.
He pointed at the white ape in disbelief and fell to the ground unwillingly.
