Chapter 219 The King's Examination
"Roar!"

The roar of the king of monkeys echoed over the forest one after another, guiding the direction of the monkeys.

The monkeys swayed forward among the layers of branches and leaves, showing their racial talents to the fullest, and it is no exaggeration to say that the speed is flying.

However, Zhang Tian was hindered by the vegetation, gravel and terrain on the surface, and it was difficult to keep up with the speed of the monkey group. It didn't take long for him to be left behind by Da Zhuang and other macaques.

"woo woo woo woo!"

After all, Wuwu was talking about loyalty, and stopped every now and then to urge him to follow up.

Zhang Tian didn't use his full strength, he deliberately slowed down, firstly to remember the direction and route, and secondly to preserve his energy.

Climbing up steep slopes, crossing ridges, and crossing loose gravel piles, the terrain drops suddenly, and ditches formed by spring runoff from melting ice and snow and heavy rainfall are all over the slope, and streams flow down from the ditches into rivers at the bottom of the valley. .

The trees on the steep slope were sparse, so the monkeys had to run on hands and feet. Without the shade of the forest canopy, low shrubs, thorns and herbs could grow wildly, which seriously slowed down the monkeys’ walking speed. , so anxious that all the monkeys screamed.

Zhang Tian took the opportunity to catch up and followed the road opened by the monkeys to the bottom of the valley.

When I was on the mountainside, I saw thousands of apes sweeping across the hillside like sand and dust sweeping the earth. Hysterical cries echoed in the valley, excited, enthusiastic, impatient, fearful, frightened, angry... all the apes were crying. Struggling to vent their emotions, yelling and making a lot of noise.

At the foot of the mountain, the huge figure leaning against the rock and enjoying the shade of the trees is so conspicuous, especially compared with the nearby apes, it looks like a giant Buddha, making it hard not to notice it.

It really is a giant ape!
Zhang Tian's heart shuddered, and he inevitably became nervous.

When they got down to the bottom of the valley and squeezed into the group of monkeys, the cries became even more deafening, making him grow up two heads, and Zhang Tian wanted to plug his ears.

The monkeys who arrived late were also pushing hard.

For the apes, the giant ape is the "top stream" in the forest. It used to only be active in the southern part of the forest. It was hard to come to the north to hold a meeting. Naturally, this group of fanatical fans must try their best to grab a good position and pay close attention to the giant ape brother. The beauty of the prosperous age, if they can say a word to their brother, it will be enough for them to brag for a lifetime.

"Jeep!"

"Bah!"

Unqualified behaviors such as jumping in line and pushing hard caused angry shouts from the monkey group, and many monkeys even fought violently.

The monkeys present are all apes and live in the same area. They have similar languages, cultures and habits, but after all, they come from different ethnic groups. They usually fight for territory. No one is used to anyone who wants to show his strength with all his strength.

At this moment, the monkeys who pushed each other were taken aback, looking at the guy standing on two feet as if he had gone to the wrong set!
Humanity!Don't think that you won't be recognized by a macaque around your neck!

How did humans show up at the Ape Congress? !

The two sides engaged in a temporary truce, and the fighting turned into a commotion.

Zhang Tian didn't care about the eyes of the monkeys at all, he muttered in his mouth, shouted to give way in a cry that only apes could understand, and easily squeezed the monkeys away, and none of the monkeys dared to squeeze with him. Step back on both sides to make way for a passage.The apes in this area are often attacked by the riverside people. They hate and fear humans.

However, when they heard his cry, the monkeys felt puzzled again, wondering why this human being could understand the communication method of apes.

The group led by Da Zhuang occupies a relatively front position, and at this time they are baring their teeth and claws, calling out to the big man loudly.

Zhang Tian walked towards Da Zhuang, but his eyes lingered around the giant ape.

The closer you get, the more clearly you can see.

The giant ape is covered with orange hair, its head is almost as big as three human heads, its eyes and mouth protrude forward, its lower jaw is abnormally wide, and there are strong and bulging muscles attached to its cheeks and lower jaw, indicating that it has a strong bite force.

Under the big head is the same huge and strong body. Although it is in a sitting position, it is already several heads taller than Zhang Tian who is standing. Its forelimbs are thick and slender, much longer than its lower limbs. It is obvious that it usually walks on all fours. Lord, seldom stand.

Its face looks closer to that of an ape, but its figure has inherited the burly of an orangutan, and it has been carried forward. It looks like a hill when it sits there. feel oppressed.

Perhaps it was because they were both primates. Although the giant ape was far smaller than a mammoth, it shocked Zhang Tian even more.Zhang Tian was really afraid that it would stand up suddenly and spout words like Caesar in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes".

Fortunately, this scene did not happen. The giant ape didn't seem to see him, or maybe he didn't take him seriously. In short, he didn't show any strong hostility. He just concentrated on gnawing on the bamboo without raising his eyelids.

There is a pile of bamboo and bamboo shoots at its feet, and there is no bamboo forest nearby, so I don't know where it got it from.

The energy of bamboo is not high. Pandas eat at least [-] catties of bamboo a day, and spend more than half of their time eating. The size of the giant ape is larger than that of pandas. It can be imagined that it almost only does two things every day: eat and sleep .

Therefore, compared with the small apes, the great apes are much quieter, and they will never move if they can.

It's really unimaginable that such a Buddhist Monkey King would summon monkey grandchildren with great fanfare.

What's even more strange is that Zhang Tian didn't see the man-monkey that Da Zhuang said was the same as himself.

Zhang Tian's arrival startled the group of monkeys, they stopped for a moment, and then burst into louder cries.

The hostility that Zhang Tian felt from these monkeys was far stronger than that of the giant ape. He heard some monkeys shouting loudly, calling on everyone to take him down with the strength of the monkeys.

Some monkeys objected, saying that this guy understands the way of apes to communicate, and the macaques are also close to him. He also took the man-monkey next to the king of monkeys as an example. Maybe there are more than one such man-monkey.

The monkeys were chattering endlessly. They obviously couldn't make the decision, but they still chattered, talked loudly, expressed their opinions, and highlighted their sense of existence.

There was a mess, the scene was chaotic, and the giant ape that called the monkeys was only interested in enjoying the food, and had no intention of maintaining order in the scene, nor did it know what it was up to.

The apes present didn't care about this. Even if the king of monkeys didn't say a word, but simply performed eating and broadcasting, they were very happy, why not?This is a benefit that other monkeys cannot enjoy!No matter what the king of monkeys does is right, it pleases the monkeys.

"Gee chi! Chi chi!"

Da Zhuang drives away Wuwu forcefully, the big guy is its monkey citizen, only he can sit on his shoulders, and only he can lie in his arms, Wuwu's move is arrogance!Unforgivable!
Da Zhuang pulled Wuwu down fiercely, gave it two thumps, and then crawled into Zhang Tian's arms and lay down, looking like a pampered emperor.

"Woo! Woohoo!"

It ordered Zhang Tian to move forward, towards the king of monkeys.

The closer you get to the king of monkeys, the denser the apes are, and they are almost crowded into cakes. It is impossible for ordinary monkeys to pass through, but there is a big guy opening the way. He passes.

This is the advantage of being tall and strong. Da Zhuang looked down at the group of monkeys rushing to dodge, and was extremely proud.

Contacting the giant ape was exactly what Zhang Tian wanted to do. So far, the giant ape did not show any strong hostility, but he still kept his spirits up and approached slowly with vigilance.

Not long after, one person and one monkey reached the first row, only two or three steps away from the giant ape.

Looking at the huge monster in front of him, with the body odor of the giant ape pouring into his nostrils, Zhang Tian's nerves and muscles tensed involuntarily, and his heart pounded.

The monkeys in the front row complained loudly and bared their teeth at Da Zhuang. They ran desperately to grab the VIP seat. The stinky macaque ordered his subordinates to forcefully cut the queue and squeezed them until they deformed. What is the meaning?
The fans in the back row who were blocked by Zhang Tian were even more excited, picking up gravel and wood on the ground and throwing them at him, ordering him to go away.

Damn monkey!
Zhang Tian was very annoyed, he turned his head and screamed like Tarzan: "Oh!!!"

The loud voice spread far away, overshadowing the noisy monkey calls, and the monkeys all quieted down. This call originally meant to order the monkeys to be quiet.

The ears were finally quiet.

Zhang Tian smiled a little, and was about to turn around, when a more impassioned roar exploded behind his head, almost shattering his eardrums!

"Roar!"

His heart seemed to stop suddenly, and he immediately raised his hands to cover his ears. The big man lying in his arms immediately fell into a free fall, and fell hard. He didn't care about the big man, and quickly covered his ears.

Zhang Tian's heart reached his throat, he felt that the giant ape was very close to him, and he could even feel its breath clearly, but fortunately the giant ape was a vegetarian, otherwise the breath alone would have knocked him out.

Hostility has grown slightly.

Zhang Tian didn't dare to act rashly, even though the roar had stopped, he didn't turn his head to check the situation.

The monkeys around him spread out one after another to make an open space, but Da Zhuang didn't retreat, and once the sound stopped, he climbed onto Zhang Tian's shoulder again.

This is a good opportunity to show his face in front of the king of monkeys, how could he miss it!

Zhang Tian heard Da Zhuang's chirping call, and he knew that Da Zhuang was explaining the cause and effect to the great ape, and asked him if he was a macaque.

The cry stopped, followed by heavy footsteps.

From the corner of his eye, Zhang Tian caught a glimpse of the four-legged giant ape slowly walking around from behind to the front, as if he was looking at himself carefully.

In the blink of an eye, its huge body came into Zhang Tian's sight. Even in a crawling posture, it was almost as tall as him, and each of its two forelimbs was thicker than his waist!
The giant ape's big face was very close, as if it was sniffing the scent on his body, the scorching snort sprayed on his face, with moist water vapor.

Zhang Tianxia held his breath consciously. It was impossible to say that he was not disturbed, but he still maintained his composure.

The giant ape walked around Zhang Tian for a half circle as if looking at a rare treasure, and then announced in a cry that can only be understood by an ape: "He is not our kind! He is a human!"

Angry roars erupted in the valley, and the anger accumulated by the monkey group over the years against the riverside people broke out in an instant, clamoring to show this hateful human being a good look!
Zhang Tian's heart sank, but he felt that the hostility of the giant ape did not increase because of this.

The giant ape roared, and the angry group of monkeys returned to silence.

Da Zhuang heaved a sigh of relief when he learned the truth. The big man was not a macaque, so his throne was secure. But thinking that he would lose a strong monkey citizen and "mount" from now on, he was a little bit unwilling to give up. He muttered and asked why humans could understand How do apes communicate?
After all, the giant ape is well-informed, and immediately said: "He is a human who grew up in the forest, a human who was raised by apes! In the forest, there is a human who was raised by wolves, and now there is another one who was raised by apes." Big human!"

The monkey group exploded immediately, and Zhang Tian was also shocked.

Human beings raised by wolves...Obviously, the giant ape refers to the child that Aba had seen before.Was it a wolf boy?

A monkey shouted loudly, claiming that he was not a human raised by apes, he was a human who had just come to this forest recently, a group of alien humans had recently entered this forest, and he had never seen them before.

Immediately there was a cry of approbation, and all the monkeys who participated in the attack came forward to testify.

Now the giant ape can't figure it out.

It's not the first time it has seen a human who knows monkey language. In fact, because the little guy grew up in the forest, he knows a lot of "languages", so he thinks the human in front of him is in the same situation.

If not, why?

Great apes are smarter than other monkeys, but obviously not smart enough.

However, it gave Zhang Tian a new way of thinking, and he called out loudly: "I am a human who grew up in the forest! Not in this forest, but in another forest! I was raised by apes! Not you , another group of apes!"

The group of monkeys was silent for a while, they didn't fully understand the call of the big man, they couldn't understand things they hadn't seen before, in their cognition, this is the forest, out of the forest is the grassland, this forest and another What does forest mean?
But the giant ape understood. It has been to far away places, seen another forest, and knows that this world is very vast, and this forest is not its entirety.

Zhang Tian also knew that the giant ape could understand.Aba said that he found the giant's footprints in the mountains, which means that the giant ape has been to the land of the grassland people. There is no bamboo forest there, so it is impossible for the giant ape to live there. It is very likely that the giant ape in front of him passed through the underground cave Went there for a stroll.It should know that the forest is more than this one.

The giant ape fell silent, and then circled around Zhang Tian. After three circles, it snorted vigorously.

It can't judge whether what he said is true or false, and it doesn't dare to make a judgment easily. Human beings are very cunning, and it knows this very well.

It decided to take him to the little fellow, who was the wisest animal in the forest, and must know whether he was telling the truth or not.
