Huo Miao’s voice was loud, not only did Mu Mingxuan and the others hear it, but even the playful little monkey frolicking in the forest heard it.
It stopped in its tracks, looked around curiously, changed its original route, and cautiously approached in the direction of Huo Miao.
At this moment, upon hearing the noise, Huo Ziheng and Mu Mingxuan quickly ran over, "Where?"
Mu Mingxuan, "Miaomiao, is it a rabbit or a chicken?"
Although both were hard to catch, what if they did catch one!
"There, just after I called out, it hid behind the tree." Huo Miao raised her hand and pointed to the left front: "It was too far away, I couldn’t see clearly what it was."
"Hid behind the tree?" Huo Ziheng felt this was really strange. He and Mu Mingxuan looked in the direction Huo Miao was pointing, just in time to see a golden-furred little monkey swiftly climbing a tree and then agilely moving through the forest. Judging by the direction it was heading, it was actually running toward them.
Mu Mingxuan fell silent for a moment, "Miaomiao, the game you mentioned, it wouldn’t happen to be that monkey, would it?"
How could that be? How could what she had just seen possibly be a monkey!
Huo Miao’s eyes widened as she watched the little monkey running toward them. She initially wanted to shake her head in denial, but then suddenly noted that the color of the monkey’s fur seemed to match the game she had just seen.
Huo Miao didn’t speak, but Mu Mingxuan and Huo Ziheng glimpsed something from her expression.
"What’s wrong? Why are you all standing here motionless? Where’s the game?" Jian Tian Tian, trailing a few steps behind, ran over, panting.
"Miaomiao mistook something, there’s no game, just a little monkey," Huo Ziheng said.
"Ah?" Jian Tian Tian’s expression was slightly stunned, and at a glance, she saw the little monkey getting closer to them.
Huo Miao glared at the little monkey running toward them, feeling somewhat embarrassed about losing face.
She had just been complaining about the wild vegetables Jian Tian Tian found, and now, the game she had finally spotted turned out to be a false alarm!
"What a letdown! All that excitement for nothing!" Huo Miao angrily picked up a stone and threw it at the monkey.
Huo Ziheng and Mu Mingxuan, who were next to her, wanted to stop her, but it was too late.
[!!! Does Huo Miao have a problem? How is it the monkey’s fault that she was seeing things?]
[Hahaha, she actually threw a stone at the monkey, does she know what kind of monkey this is?]
[6, better run now or you’ll suffer the consequences]
Huo Miao’s casual toss, and the stone whisked past the monkey.
The curious little monkey that had run over stopped, turned back to look at the stone that had nearly hit it on the ground.
Realizing it was an attack from a strange human, the little monkey’s gaze suddenly changed.
It bared its teeth at Huo Miao and the others, lifted its two short hands, and bounced on the spot, looking fierce and threatening.
"Such a little monkey, and it dares to provoke us," Huo Miao snorted. "It’s a pity it’s not a wild boar or a rabbit, we could have eaten those after catching them."
Mu Mingxuan, frowning while staring at the little monkey that seemed to be in a fury, said with uncertainty, "That looks like..."
Before he finished speaking, the little monkey suddenly leapt high, grabbed a vine in midair, swung its body, and suddenly launched at them!
It jumped right onto Huo Miao’s shoulder and furiously scratched at her head.
Huo Miao screamed in terror, while Mu Mingxuan and the others were also startled.
Jian Tian Tian quickly ran to the side, but Huo Ziheng and Mu Mingxuan, after coming to their senses, immediately reached out to grab the monkey.
But the little monkey was very agile. It climbed all over Huo Miao, and just before Mu Mingxuan could catch it, it stood on Huo Miao’s head and then jumped onto Mu Mingxuan, unleashing a fierce attack.
Mu Mingxuan felt a stinging pain on his face, grabbed the monkey off himself and flung it hard to the ground.
The little monkey made a snarling noise and quickly escaped the area by swinging on a vine.
Huo Ziheng hurriedly asked, "Miaomiao, Mingxuan, are you both alright?"
Jian Tian Tian, who was originally hiding to the side, also moved forward.
"I am not okay! I feel like I’m about to die from the pain!" Huo Miao lifted her face, whimpering.
Huo Ziheng took one look and immediately gasped.
Huo Miao’s previously smooth and tender face was now covered in a dense mass of swollen scratches, some of which even seemed to have broken the skin. Mu Mingxuan was not in a much better state than Huo Miao; not only was his face scratched by the monkey, but his neck was also covered in scratches, presenting a ghastly sight.
Mu Mingxuan kept a stern face and completed his earlier unfinished sentence, "That was a monkey from Emei Mountain, small in size but very high in attack power and with a strong sense of revenge, able to kill animals twice its size."
