Chapter 313 - 310 Quite Weird
The monkey shrank its neck, looking pitiful as it said, "I apologize to you, I admit my wrong, can you let me go, please?"
"Letting you go is very simple," Gao Fei sneered, "Just help me with one thing and I'll let you go right away."
The monkey blinked, "What help?"
Gao Fei pointed to his chest, "Help me detoxify."
"I can't do that," the monkey shook its head vigorously, "I really can't do it. The poison you're afflicted with is too domineering, too powerful, I have no way..."
"Then I'm sorry," Gao Fei spread his hands and shrugged, "You can only die."
"Don't, don't be like this," the monkey hurriedly said, "Let's talk this over, please don't resort to violence."
"I've always been talking nicely; it's you... who's been playing tricks on me," Gao Fei hummed.
"I'm not playing any tricks," the monkey was on the verge of tears.
"In a word, help me detoxify and I'll let you go; if you don't help me, you have only one way to die," Gao Fei said menacingly. The monkey in front of him was his only hope for a cure, he couldn't let it go under any circumstances.
"You can't do this to me," the monkey cried out with its mouth agape, "Why are you bullying me! I'm just a little monkey, I'm not that capable."
"I don't care about that," Gao Fei snorted, "If you don't detoxify me, I won't let you go." So there it was, Gao Fei, shamelessly insisting.
"Even if you force me, I can't do anything," the monkey cried, "I... uh..." The monkey suddenly stopped crying, squinted its eyes, "I just remembered a place, maybe there we can find a way to detoxify."
"What place?" Gao Fei asked urgently.
"Pansi Cave," the monkey said three words.
"Pansi Cave? What's that? Make it clear," Gao Fei didn't understand.
"Pansi Cave is where the Beast King lives. The poison you're suffering from is related to the Beast King. If you go to Pansi Cave and look around, perhaps you'll find a way to detoxify?"
"That makes sense, clever little monkey," he said.
"It was just a burst of inspiration, or more accurately, it was fear that drove me. If I didn't come up with a way, you wouldn't let me go, and then I would have to desperately think of a solution. After thinking and thinking, I finally came up with one. I hope it can help you."
"Don't waste any more time, get up and lead the way. Take me to Pansi Cave."
"I have a wound on my back, and any light movement causes piercing pain."
"That's easy, I'll dress your wound to make sure it doesn't hurt anymore," Gao Fei bent down, reached out to grasp the darts, and with a gentle tug, the darts came out of the monkey's back. A stream of crimson blood sprang from the wound.
"Ah!!" The monkey screamed miserably.
"Endure it a little, it will be over soon." Gao Fei took out a bottle of medicinal powder from the Storage Ring, sprinkled it on the monkey's wound, then tore two strips of cloth from his clothing and dressed the wound with practiced skill, clearly an expert.
As a child, Gao Fei often fought and injured himself. Afterwards, he would find clean cloth to dress the wounds. Over time, his bandaging techniques became more and more skilled and proficient.
"There, it's done," Gao Fei gave the monkey a nudge with the tip of his foot, "Stop playing dead, get up quickly."
The monkey got up slowly, with a mournful expression on its face, "It really hurts."
"It's just a scratch and a bit of blood, and you're acting like you can't bear the pain, look at how pitiful you are," Gao Fei said with contempt.
"The entire dart was in my flesh, and you call that a scratch?" the monkey wailed, "I've lost at least a basin's worth of blood, how much blood do I even have in my body?"
"Enough, stop your yapping and let's go," Gao Fei waved his hand impatiently, "If you keep whining, I'll fill you with darts so you bleed out and die."
"Always threatening me, it's infuriating," the monkey huffed.
"You're not a human, you're a monkey, and I love bullying monkeys the most."
"..." In its heart, the monkey cursed Gao Fei roundly but only dared to do so in its thoughts; it wouldn't dare utter these words out loud, having been intimidated by Gao Fei.
The threat of being pierced and bled by darts would scare anyone.
...
The monkey trudged ahead unwillingly.
Gao Fei followed emotionlessly behind, "Don't even think about running away. If you fail, the consequences will be severe."
The monkey ignored Gao Fei.
"How far is it from here to Pansi Cave?"
"Very far."
"How far is very far?"
"At least a day's walk."
"A whole day? That long? Isn't there a shortcut?"
"No."
"Really no shortcuts?"
"My life is in your hands now, why would I dare to lie to you?"
"You'd better not," Gao Fei snorted, "Monkey, as long as you lead the way honestly, without any tricks, I naturally won't make things difficult for you."
"Ao wu..."
"Ao ao ao!!!"
"Wu wu wu!!!"
The roars of Ferocious Beasts came from ahead, shaking the heavens with their sound.
"Tell your kin." Gao Fei said indifferently, "they'd better not provoke me, or else I will not hesitate to kill them all, then roast and eat them."
The monkey cursed inwardly after that, then lifted its head and called out a few times, strangely enough, after the monkey called out, the roars of the Ferocious Beasts disappeared, as if they were never there.
"Wow, not bad at all," Gao Fei quirked his mouth, "With just a few casual calls, you stopped the Ferocious Beasts from roaring. Impressive."
The monkey pouted but said nothing. It was thoroughly annoyed with Gao Fei and didn't feel like paying him any attention.
...
One day later.
The monkey led Gao Fei to a cave dwelling.
"Here, this is Pansi Cave." The monkey pointed at the cave dwelling.
Gao Fei looked the cave dwelling up and down, "Does that bear live here?"
"Yes." The monkey nodded.
"Let's go, then. Let's go inside."
"I have to go in too?"
"Of course, you have to. I won't let you go until we find a way to deal with the poison."
"...You're being rather unreasonable!"
"So I'm unreasonable, what are you going to do about it?"
"..."
"Hurry up, stop dawdling."
Under Gao Fei's coercion, the monkey walked into the cave dwelling reluctantly.
"Forgot to ask you something," Gao Fei said while surveying the interior of the cave, "After that bear died, why didn't any Ferocious Beasts come to take over this cave dwelling? It seems like a nice place. It's spacious and pretty, with good ventilation too."
"No Ferocious Beast is willing to come."
"Why not?"
"Because this cave dwelling is ominous."
"Ominous?"
"This cave dwelling has been home to seven Beast Kings, and all seven of them met with unexpected deaths, very gruesome ones too. Many Ferocious Beasts discuss it, saying the cave has some evil quality, bringing misfortune to anyone who lives in it."
"That's pretty bizarre," Gao Fei raised an eyebrow, "So anyone who has lived in this cave died? That's too strange."
The monkey nodded, "Indeed, it is very strange."
