Chapter 28: The Crimson-Eyed Snow Ape Comes Seeking Help

  A giant white ape with red pupils suddenly turned its head back.

  It was over three meters tall, with snow-white fur all over its body, without any flaws. Just like a snowman, a pair of pale red eyes emitted light, which was particularly eye-catching in the dark snowy wind.

  Those red eyes, at first glance, made people feel a chill. But upon closer inspection, its eyes were warm and seemed to hold a hint of sadness. As soon as it saw them, it let out a loud "Hoo-hoo!" and took off in the direction Liu Yi and the others were heading, its limbs flying as it bounded through the snow.

  ……

  Liu Yi and others who were walking heard the distant roar, and they all stopped immediately. They looked at each other in dismay, saying: "What kind of monster is this?"

  Liu Yi shouted loudly: "The beasts that appear in such a place must be dangerous. Everyone get ready with your guns and prepare for battle!"

  The Tibetan antelope Xiao Ke, who was walking in the front, heard the roar and stopped his body, listened with his ears for a moment, and suddenly broke free from the rope with great force, instantly pulling the crowd of people into a chaotic mess.

  "Xiao Ke has gone mad!" Ma Liu Jia fell to the ground and took a mouthful of snow, wiping his mouth while shouting in dissatisfaction.

  Xiao Ke pulled everyone to the ground and didn't end its movement. It turned around, lowered its head, and dragged backwards. The rope tied to its horn was a slip knot, which wasn't secure in the first place. With Xiao Ke's pull, it instantly came loose.

  The little goat that had broken free of its restraints let out two triumphant "baa"s, then abandoned them and plunged headfirst into the wind and snow.

  "Liu Yi shouted: "Damn it! At the critical moment, you're abandoning us! Keke Xi, hurry up and call it back. If this guy gets eaten by a monster from afar, we're done for!"

  Kekesi listened, raised his head, put his hands around his mouth in a trumpet shape, and shouted again: "Oo oo oo, oo...", but this time the little Tibetan antelope did not return as obediently as before.

  Korksi called out for a while, but seeing no effect, he shrugged his shoulders in frustration and threw up his hands: "This guy must have heard some other call, he doesn't even want me as his master!"

  Liu Yi's heart skipped a beat as he said, "Could it be that Xiao Ke has crossed paths with its beast friends before, and the roar up ahead is them?"

  Malacca felt surprised and laughed: "This little fellow really has a 'beast pulse' that's very wide!"

  Professor Zhou Tao and Lu Zonghan also found Liu Yi's words more credible. If there was a huge danger in the front roar, even if they wanted to hide, they wouldn't have time, how could they happily run to seek death?

  With this thought, the crowd put down their worries and continued to move forward in the wind and snow. After about twenty minutes, they saw from afar that Xiao Ke, the Tibetan antelope, was leading a "red-blurred object" wrapped in the wind and snow, running towards them.

  Due to the great distance, the Snow Ape's body color blended with the surrounding snowflakes, and everyone only saw the bright light emitted from its pale red eyes.

  Malacca exclaimed: "My god, what's this thing?"

  Lu Zonghan said: "It's no longer strange to see what kind of weird things appear here, looking at Xiaoke's appearance, the two little things should be in good relationship, and they shouldn't harm us, right?"

  What he said was not very certain, beasts and beasts can become good friends, but humans and beasts are another matter. After all, the language barrier is a big problem. What if there's a misunderstanding during communication, and one party mistakenly thinks that humans pose a threat, and swallows them whole? It's entirely possible, considering even "beast tamers" have been killed by tigers, let alone these people who have hardly ever interacted with beasts.

  Professor Zhou smiled and said: "Since it's here, let's make the best of it! Don't worry unnecessarily! Let's just treat it with kindness!"

  Liu Yi and Malacca nodded in agreement on the side.

  "Red Pupil Snow Ape!" Kork exclaimed, pointing at the approaching ape: "Legend has it that it is a divine beast by the side of the Sun Mother Goddess, guiding humans to cross the sea of suffering and arrive at the bright paradise!"

  Keksi said as he knelt down to the ground, bowing his head in reverence towards the approaching Red Pupil Snow Ape, his eyes filled with utmost piety.

  Liu Yi and others, although they did not believe in the Sun Goddess, were also amazed by the endless divine objects around her. Their hearts filled with reverence, they naturally hid their weapons and looked up into the wind and snow, smiling at a distance to show their friendliness.

  At this moment, Cang Yang Xiao Ke and Hong Tong Xue Yuan had already run up to them.

  That tall red ape stood five meters in front of them, standing still. Xiao Ke circled around it non-stop, sniffing up and down, as if looking for something.

  The red snow monkey whispered "Hoo-hoo" to Xiaoke for a while, and Xiaoke seemed to understand what it was saying. It stood still, and the snow monkey reached out with its right palm to touch its head. Xiaoke immediately calmed down.

  The Snow Ape comforted Xiao Ke, then turned its light red eyes to size up Liu Yi and the others. It raised its right palm again, slapped its abdomen with force, making a "thud" sound, and its expression became extremely painful before returning to normal. With a slanted gaze, it pointed towards the distance.

  Even if many people don't understand animal language, they can still understand what this giant ape means, which is that it has come to ask them for help.

  In front of this giant ape, everyone felt their own insignificance. It was estimated that with just one slap, it could crack a person's skull and make their brains burst out. Although the crowd was in a hurry to rush along and couldn't afford to delay for a moment, such a large ape asking for help would definitely grab Liu Yi and the others and take them away, even if they didn't want to go.

  Everyone looked at each other, nodded, and Liu Yi pulled up Kexi, who was kowtowing on the ground, and followed the retreating Ape King, advancing step by step with difficulty.

  That monkey looked anxious and suddenly rushed out, disappearing in a blink of an eye over 100 meters away.

  It "pattered, pattered, pattered" for a while, turned its head to take a look, and I was leaning on it. It had run out several hundred meters away from itself, and Liu Yi and others had just advanced about twenty meters ahead.

  It looked back at the people behind it with a puzzled expression, seemingly wondering why these two-legged creatures were moving so slowly. Then, to everyone's surprise, it turned around and swiftly ran back, grabbing Lu Zonghan, who was walking in front, under its arm, using one hand to propel itself forward while holding Lu Zonghan in place, and disappeared into the distance with Cangyangyuan following closely behind, vanishing from sight in the blink of an eye.

  "I'm going, is that all for us?" Malacca's voice had barely fallen when the giant ape turned back again, this time grabbing Malacca and dashing out with his shrieks.

  Liu Yi finally understood the monkey's meaning, it must be that he was disgusted with the slow pace of the crowd, so he transported them like ants moving house.

  Liu Yi was worried that Professor Zhou would not be able to withstand this approach, and when Xueyuan returned to catch Professor Zhou again, Liu Yi suddenly jumped between them and used his vocal skills to imitate Xueyuan's voice, shouting twice.

  The snow monkey tilted its head and looked at him for a moment, seemingly unable to understand what Liu Yi was saying, and stretched out its hand again to grab Professor Zhou Tao.

  Liu Yi suddenly became anxious, shook his head and pretended to be weak and feeble, then pointed at Professor Zhou Tao, then pointed at the armpit of the anxious person, then shook his head and waved his hand, and again pointed at the shoulder of the anxious person, nodding. The meaning is: "This old man is a patient, don't squeeze him under your arm, it will be fatal. You should support him to move forward!"

  Liu Yi knew that the ape's intelligence was extremely developed, but he still feared it wouldn't understand, so he repeated all his actions twice.

  Only the gibbon let out a loud "Hoo-hoo", as if it was fed up with Liu Yi's chatter, and with one swipe of its palm, it pushed him aside. Then, it gently picked up Professor Zhou Tao and cradled him in its arms, before turning around and running off with its feet flying through the air.

  The snow ape seemed to have just lightly swept, but Liu Yi felt a huge force and was directly swept ten meters away. His mouth was full of snow, he stood up, spat out the snow, and scolded at the back of the snow ape: "Damn you!"

  The snow ape, which had run tens of meters away, seemed to have understood his curse and turned its head back to him with a sly smile on its face. Liu saw this expression clearly and was instantly speechless.

  Thus, everyone arrived in front of a huge cave entrance with little wind and snow under the continuous ant migration of Yuki Saru.

  The entrance was very large, with a height of over ten meters. Standing in front of the entrance, Liu Yi felt like an ant.

  The snow ape stood at the entrance and made a "welcome" gesture, inviting them to enter. The crowd watched as the happy Tibetan antelope ran in quickly, and they followed suit, entering one after another.

  Entering the cave, walking five meters, turning a corner, a huge stone chamber appeared in front of everyone, and the companions were instantly stunned.

  This is no longer a habitat for beasts, and it's not much different from where humans live.

  A huge stone bed, a stone table and stools, and shelves carved directly into the rocky walls inside the cave to hold items. On the shelves were many bottles and jars carved out of stone. On the right-hand wall was an opening for a window that was over half a person's height, apparently for ventilation. You could see snowflakes fluttering outside the window, and occasionally some would sneak in and fall into the stone room, revealing a life that blended with nature.

  Liu Yi and the others saw that there was also a giant red-eyed snow ape lying on the stone bed, groaning in pain. It should be injured or ill. The previous red-eyed snow ape went out in the blizzard and rummaged through the accumulated snow to find something. It is estimated that it was looking for analgesic grass or other life-saving medicine.

  The snow monkey on the bed should be a female, seeing her partner bring guests from outside, wanting to get up and greet them. The male snow monkey saw this and quickly ran over to carefully help her up, their affectionate feelings were evident.

  It was only then that everyone noticed a huge black stain on the mother snow leopard's abdomen, which looked particularly unsightly against its snowy white fur and emitted a foul odor, clearly having become infected.

  Mother Snow Monkey is also extremely intelligent, she knows that Liu Yi and others are the saviors brought by her husband, and she actually picked up her front paws to make a bow to Liu Yi and others.

  Everyone was unsurprised that the giant ape had an extremely high IQ, because humans are just evolved apes anyway, so they all naturally returned a courtesy.
