Chapter 648: Rise of the Planet of the Apes [647]

"Hoo!"

A slightly chilly morning breeze swiftly brushed through the forest.

The vines that stretched between the giant trees gently swayed along with it.

These vines had a diameter of over four meters and served as pathways between the forests.

Or rather, vine paths.

However, Luo Jiuling knew that although the vines appeared heavy, they were actually much lighter than expected.

This was because the vines had a hollow structure, made up of many thinner vines twisted together.

Luo Jiuling, the lucky Xuan Shi who managed to save his life, stood on a tree branch over twenty meters thick, gazing at the boundless sea of trees, and let out a silent sigh.

It had been almost a month since he arrived in the Sen Luo Realm, and he had gained a rough understanding of the basic situation here.

For example, the weather in this realm was extremely peculiar.

It hardly rained during the day, but at night, there would be torrential downpours that often lasted the entire night until dawn.

Another example was the strange environment of this realm.

Beneath the towering forests, there were endless swamps.

There were no fish in the vast swamps, only various terrifying water insects, too numerous to count.

A race called the "Spirit Monkey Tribe" mainly lived in the canopy.

At night, many ferocious water insects would emerge from the swamps and climb up the tree trunks to hunt the Spirit Monkey Tribe.

During the day, some members of the Spirit Monkey Tribe would descend to the surface of the swamps to hunt some of the better meaty water insects as food.

In short, the Spirit Monkey Tribe and the water insect tribe were archenemies, engaged in a love-hate relationship for countless millennia.

After a few seconds, a strange sound suddenly came from below.

This was the cry of the Spirit Monkey Tribe.

Luo Jiuling immediately took out a wooden mask and put it on his face, then responded in a strange tone, "Ao Ah!"

By the way, this Xuan Shi had witnessed with his own eyes how the Grand Commander managed to decipher the language of the Spirit Monkey Tribe in just three days and created a mark that could understand their language.

The reason he could understand the sound "Ao Ah" was thanks to the assistance of the mark.

After that, the Grand Commander attempted to make contact with a branch of the Spirit Monkey Tribe and used various means to gain their respect, successfully.

Luo Jiuling admired this greatly.

He thought to himself that if he were alone and stranded in the Sen Luo Realm, he would probably still be struggling to survive and would never be able to adapt so easily.

Soon, "Ao Ah!"

"Ao Ah!"

The cries grew closer.

Over a dozen furry creatures suddenly leaped up from below and appeared in front of Luo Jiuling.

They were the Spirit Monkey Tribe.

They were generally about two meters tall, with tails about the same length as their height. They wore black wooden armor that covered their vital areas.

They also had a not-so-noticeable but very important feature.

That was the hair on their hands and feet, which was noticeably thicker and had a different color than the hair on other parts of their bodies.

Luo Jiuling had heard the Grand Commander's explanation and knew that this was a very special "sticky hair" that could easily adhere to the surface of objects.

The Spirit Monkey Tribe could live in the canopy and move freely in the giant tree forest, thanks to the use of this sticky hair.

"Wu Ao!"

The leader of the Spirit Monkey Tribe greeted with a howl.

"Wu Ao!"

Luo Jiuling slightly straightened his chest and responded in a deep voice.

The size of this spiritual monkey is much larger than other members of the same clan, and it is wearing a black wooden armor with exquisite carvings on the surface.

Just by its appearance alone, it can be determined that its status in the clan is obviously higher.

Luo Jiuling knew that the other party's name was "Kanda," the eldest son of the spiritual monkey tribe leader and the future tribe leader.

Evaluated by the standards of the Wan Hao clan.

Kanda's strength is far superior to that of warriors and is only one step away from Xuan Shi. Even in the environment of the Sen Luo realm, it is difficult for an ordinary Xuan Shi to defeat it.

At this moment.

Kanda turned around and looked at his fellow clan members, waving his arm forcefully, with a commanding tone: "Aohe ah!"

Several spiritual monkeys quickly took off the backpacks on their backs and quickly placed them in front of Luo Jiuling, then opened the backpack covers.

Luo Jiuling nodded to Kanda and patted his chest with his hand: "Ahe!"

The meaning of this word is - thank you.

Kanda's furry face showed a smile and waved his paw: "Ahe a!"

Meaning - you're welcome!

Luo Jiuling glanced at the backpack and immediately saw various fruits and some items wrapped in leaves.

He knew very well that this was the flesh of the water worms.

And these things are the offerings of the spiritual monkey tribe.

The Grand Commander has given a lot of help to this tribe, and in order to express their respect, the spiritual monkeys would send some food every two days.

"Gudong~"

Many spiritual monkeys stole glances at the backpack and swallowed their saliva.

The resources in the Sen Luo realm are not abundant, and these are the top-quality ingredients that even the tribe leader cannot enjoy every day.

These furry guys would naturally drool when they see them.

Kanda's expression became a bit humble: "May I ask for the teachings, Elder?"

The "Elder" in this sentence naturally refers to the Grand Commander.

Luo Jiuling spoke in broken spiritual monkey language and said: "The Elder foresaw that two souls of the noble clan passed away yesterday."

Kanda's face immediately changed, and his furry monkey face showed an obvious look of surprise, even his monkey tail couldn't help but sway.

The other spiritual monkeys also became restless.

Luo Jiuling watched this scene and admired the Grand Commander even more.

Kanda swayed his tail and his tone became a bit heavy: "The Elder is right. Last night, one of our gathering points was attacked by water worms, and two spiritual monkeys were poisoned and died."

Many water worms in the swamp have extremely strong toxicity. Once bitten, there is no hope of survival.

Luo Jiuling pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The Elder said that if the heads of the poisoned individuals are brought back as soon as possible, perhaps he can find a way to save them."

As soon as these words came out.

All the spiritual monkeys were shocked.

The vitality of the spiritual monkeys is quite tenacious. Even if their heads are cut off, they can still live for a period of time, but they are ultimately doomed to die.

What the Xuan Shi said truly subverted their understanding.

Luo Jiuling didn't keep them in suspense and briefly explained: "The Elder has a way to implant the head into another spiritual monkey's body to maintain life."

"In this way, the Elder will have enough time to study and cultivate a new body, and then implant the head back, completely restoring them."

A group of spiritual monkeys were dumbfounded.

This incredible method truly exceeded their imagination.

Luo Jiuling paused and added: "This is the Elder's envisioned 'Rebirth by Head Transplantation' technique, and the Elder said there is more than a 90% chance of success in research."

"Bang! Bang!"

Kanda patted his chest forcefully, and his big monkey eyes were full of excitement.

With a "pa," it knelt down on one knee, showing even more respect: "I understand! Please express our gratitude to the Elder on behalf of our tribe!"

This guy is not a fool and naturally knows that if the Head Transplantation technique is successfully researched, many doomed spiritual monkeys will have a chance to survive, making their tribe even stronger.

In one sentence.

This is a secret technique that can change the fate of their tribe, and it is not an exaggeration to overestimate it.

After some more communication.

Kanda respectfully bowed and left with his tribe.

Luo Jiuling knew that it was because of the Grand Commander's influence that Kanda showed respect to him.

He watched the spiritual monkeys leave, his gaze turned to the emerald green sky, and muttered softly: "I always feel that the Grand Commander suddenly brought up the Rebirth by Head Transplantation technique, and his intentions seem to be not so simple."

This Xuan Shi has been staying by the Grand Commander's side recently, and under his influence, he has gained a deep understanding of the Grand Commander's methods.

Many of the Grand Commander's actions seemed casual at first, but looking back, they gave people a sense of astonishment.

All these things.

Truly made Luo Jiuling admire him beyond measure.

No wonder when he was in the You Miao realm, the Grand Commander led the battle zone to achieve one brilliant victory after another.
