Chapter 1275 - 1270: Monkey King
Chapter 1275 - 1270: Monkey King
One hour later.
Qin Hao could no longer squat on the ground.
He could only lie straight with his belly bulging, his mouth still covered in juice and fruit pulp.
So far, Qin Hao had consumed a total of ten peaches.
And the amount of Spiritual Qi in his body was a fifth higher than before.
The progress seemed small, but in reality, he could use more Spiritual Qi, and his strength had increased further.
Unfortunately, because he had consumed too many Immortal Peaches, he was temporarily unable to digest them, with his belly resembling that of a pregnant woman.
"Sigh, the path to increasing Spiritual Qi doesn’t seem that simple!"
Lying on the ground, Qin Hao’s face was full of helplessness: "With my abnormal physique, consuming eleven in an hour is already the limit. It’s no easy feat if I want to double my Spiritual Qi. And to break through my current state, who knows how long that will take!"
"Moreover, everything has its limits. Although these peaches are effective for increasing Spiritual Qi now, who knows if they’ll stop working in the future?"
He initially thought he could become an Immortal by eating peaches directly, but now it seemed he was thinking too much.
Feeling this way, Qin Hao felt a sense of loss in his heart.
Just then.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
The sound of monkeys calling came from not far away.
Qin Hao was startled instinctively.
Why are there monkeys in the cave?
Could it be the Monkey King?
He recalled that Ah Sang had just told him that the king of this valley was a monkey that had gained a spirit. The natives called it the Monkey King, and they usually avoided it at all costs, not daring to provoke it.
In this forest, any beast that could be called "king" was exceptionally powerful.
The Elephant King was proof of this.
And the fact that the Monkey King could have its own territory in such a dangerous area meant its strength was undoubtedly formidable.
Considering this, Qin Hao’s heart sank.
"I’m so bloated right now that I can barely walk. Am I really going to become meat on the Monkey King’s chopping board?"
At that moment, Qin Hao truly regretted eating so many peaches.
What frightened him even more was that the "squeak" sounds were getting closer.
In addition, there was a whistling sound.
At the point where Qin Hao was complaining bitterly, he finally saw out of the corner of his eye a humanoid creature approaching from a distance.
As Ah Sang had described, the Monkey King was indeed a huge monkey.
Even when hunched over, it was about 1.7 meters tall, with both hands clasped behind its back, wearing clothes made from animal hides, sharp features with slightly yellow fur that looked a bit golden.
If not looked at closely, outsiders could easily mistake the Monkey King for a human being.
Because, apart from its furry exterior, its behavior was completely human-like.
Interestingly enough, this monkey had a leisurely expression on its face, even pouting its lips and making sharp sounds as if whistling.
Damn it, is this the Monkey King patrolling its territory?
Did I just have to bump into it?
Qin Hao was full of complaints in his heart. In the next moment, the Monkey King stopped in its tracks and gave him a strange look.
It looked at the human in front of it with puzzlement, its expression a bit bewildered.
Could it be that my notoriety isn’t fierce enough, that those shameless humans still dare to come mess with me?
While thinking this, the Monkey King saw the human’s belly heaving and immediately got angry, exposing two sharp fangs.
This human! With such a big belly! Just how many of my peaches did you eat!
"Howl, howl!"
Enraged, the Monkey King began to beat its chest, its actions entirely like a gorilla in fury, with no semblance of a monkey left!
"Damn!"
Qin Hao was almost scared to tears.
The Monkey King’s body was quite lean; he initially thought it was a beast known for speed.
But who would have thought, the power of its fist beating against its chest was so strong, causing the air to tremble and eardrums to hurt; Qin Hao couldn’t guarantee if his own strength was greater!
"Are all beasts here freaks? A massive elephant was enough of a monstrosity! Now there’s another monstrous Monkey King? What’s going on?"
Qin Hao genuinely felt like crying without tears.
More crucially, the Monkey King seemed extremely angry, slowly approaching with a menacing face.
"Mmm, mmm!"
Qin Hao whimpered, trying to soften the Monkey King’s heart with his acting.
Unfortunately, the Monkey King was a beast; it knew nothing about kindness or human emotions.
After a few steps, it approached Qin Hao, its bared teeth incredibly sharp.
"Monkey King, spare me..."
Unable to move, Qin Hao could only pathetically plead for mercy.
"Squeak, squeak!"
The Monkey King seemed surprised. Usually, the natives would be scared shitless when they saw it, let alone dare to speak.
This human seemed unusual!
Although surprised, that was all it felt.
The Monkey King wasn’t about to let Qin Hao go just because he was a bit special.
To it, humans and the giant elephant were equally detestable. If given the chance, it would certainly tear out their hearts and eat them raw.
As expected, the Monkey King extended its claw toward Qin Hao’s chest.
If nothing unexpected happened, as long as it exerted force, Qin Hao’s heart would be crushed.
At that moment, Qin Hao felt what true despair was.
He was renowned in the Dark World, a hero from Huaxia, idolized by countless young people.
With so many nicknames to his name, his life could be considered honorable and grand.
But dying on this secluded island, at the hands of an oddly shaped monkey, seemed anything but fulfilling.
What’s more, whenever he thought about the many wives back home waiting for his love, his heart clenched with pain.
Struck by emotion, he wailed with a face full of sorrow: "I’m not willing to accept this! There are so many wives at home waiting for me to love them! Yet I can only let them be widows! I’m not willing! I’m not afraid of anyone else! But to be treated like this by these beasts! Even that massive elephant calf couldn’t kill me! Why should I die at the hands of this monkey!"
Perhaps his acting was too perfect.
The extended hand of the Monkey King paused.
Qin Hao clearly saw a human-like surprise appear on the monkey’s face.
"Squeak, squeak!"
The Monkey King made a strange gesture.
Qin Hao blinked: "Squeak, squeak? Are you saying you’re sparing me?"
Just as he finished speaking, the Monkey King reached out and tapped him on the forehead.
"Ouch, don’t hit me, let’s talk this out!"
Qin Hao yelped in pain, feeling speechless.
In the past, he was always the one out there tapping on others’ foreheads.
Now he had a taste of being "abused."
How heartbreaking!
"Squeak, squeak!"
The Monkey King continued to gesture, making a circular motion.
Qin Hao was left in a cloud of confusion, thinking carefully about his earlier complaints, he widened his eyes: "Is your gesture implying the Elephant King?"
Upon hearing "Elephant King," the Monkey King bared its teeth in obvious fury.
Qin Hao was immediately startled; like the elephant calf, it could understand human speech and seemed to hold a grudge against the Elephant King?
Thinking this, he subconsciously asked: "Brother Monkey, do you have a grudge against the Elephant King?"
