Chapter 3562 Let You Off
As soon as the boundary barrier was laid, the spirit monkeys screeched anxiously immediately and jumped up and down, ran around, and made it even more difficult to catch the original monkey.
"The fourth monkey on the left side of the second tree up ahead." Xuanyuan Mo Ze"s voice drifted out, his eyes focused ahead of him.
Feng Jiu"s eyes flickered, and her lips curled into a smile: "Got it!" In the next moment, her figure flew out and her spirit intent locked onto the monkey. With a wave of her hand, a small cl.u.s.ter of flames sprang up and flew out at a speed that couldn"t be avoided.
"Squeak squeak!"
The monkeys were frightened and moved around to avoid the flames when they saw it headed their way. The one that Feng Jiu was staring at squeaked and hooked its tail on a branch, then it jumped down. But at this moment, the cl.u.s.ter of flames ignited on the fur on the monkey"s tail and it screeched at the scalding pain.
"Squeak!"
A sharp screech came out from the monkey"s mouth, and in a blink of an eye, the monkey"s fur caught fire, and a burning smell filled the air.
The surrounding monkeys were dumbfounded. Several of the larger monkeys came to their senses quickly and rushed over to that monkey"s side and tried to put out the flames. However, no matter how much they tried, be it patting their hands on the monkey or using leaves, or grabbing the soil from the ground, they were unable to extinguish the flames.
"Squeak squeak squeak, squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak…"
The monkeys screeched angrily and suddenly surrounded Feng Jiu. They bared their claws and teeth as they rushed towards her.
Upon seeing this, Xuanyuan Mo Ze"s face darkened, then he let out a cold snort, accompanied by the pressure on him which spread out like water ripples.
The monkeys trembled when they saw this, and they squatted down one by one, not daring to raise their heads.
Feng Jiu raised her hand, and the flames went out. All the fur on the little monkey"s body was gone. Apart from a slight burn on its skin, it was not seriously injured. After all, she was merciful.
"Squeak squeak…"
The little monkey"s head shrank back and it screeched as it lay on the ground. When it saw Feng Jiu walking over to it, its body shrank back slightly, and a hint of guilt appeared in its eyes.
"Hand it over." Feng Jiu said as she looked down at the little monkey.
"Squeak squeak." It screeched twice, then flinched and turned away, obviously unwilling to hand it over.
"No?" Feng Jiu sneered, then with a movement of her hand, a cl.u.s.ter of flames danced at her fingertips.
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
The little spirit monkey screeched in panic when it saw the flames, then it opened its mouth and spat the eight trigram mirror back out and handed it to her.
"And?" Feng Jiu glanced at it: "Where are your treasures? Don"t think that you can get away with just returning my things after stealing it." As she spoke, she played with the flames on her fingertips threateningly.
"Squeak squeak!"
The little monkey seemed very angry, but it was also afraid of the flames on her fingertips. Finally, it opened its mouth and spat out more than twenty things, including beads, magical artefacts, and also s.h.i.+ny gold coins and crystal cores.
Feng Jiu"s eyes flickered as she looked down at the pile of things, then she knelt down and glanced at the little monkey: "I didn"t realise you had hidden so many treasures. Is this it?"
"Squeak!" The little spirit monkey screeched hastily and waved its hands while stepping back.
"Fine! I"ll let you off!"
