Chapter 377: Chapter 375: Chased up a Tree? I Always Suspected He Knew Kung Fu!

Wulingyuan Scenic Spot.

Monkeys are the majority here, you could say they are everywhere.

Even on the tourist walkways, many monkeys are begging for food.

The monkeys here are relatively mild-mannered, not as aggressive as the ones at Emei Mountain.

Not long after Xu Yang entered the mountain, he caught the attention of the monkey troops, with numerous monkeys sizing him up.

The livestream was running as usual.

"This mountain is really not easy to navigate," "The terrain is too steep and the vegetation lush, making ground travel inconvenient."

"This environment is perfect for moving about in the trees."

"So, it has become a monkey paradise."

Xu Yang explained to his online viewers.

There weren’t many open spaces in the mountain, Xu Yang stood on a slope, leaning against a large tree.

The view was pretty good, natural and fresh.

But Xu Yang had been to too many dangerous places before, and so this place didn’t seem all that spectacular in comparison.

Xu Yang had planned to come in for a livestream since he had some free time.

Since he had enough chances for treasure hunting, he decided to do a regular Treasure Hunting Task.

Xu Yang summoned the Treasure Compass and chose to use it.

[Triggered Treasure Hunting Task: Attack of the Monkey King!]

[Task Description: Reach the designated area, chase the specified monkey.]

[Task Reward: Monkey Wine Brewing Recipe*1]

[A magical brewing recipe that allows the adjustment of taste, sweetness, and alcohol concentration.]

Hearing this prompt, Xu Yang was somewhat surprised.

The reward for this task was not bad at all.

He was always interested in things that money couldn’t buy.

"Chasing a designated monkey sounds quite challenging,"

"Let’s go have a look."

So, Xu Yang continued farther into the mountain, entering deeper into the forest area, where the trees became larger and more robust.

And the number of monkeys was increasing.

These monkeys kept flitting around Xu Yang.

They were exceptionally agile, moving easily among the trees.

The drone broadcasted this scene live.

[Did Old Xu stir up a monkey’s nest? So many monkeys?]

[It feels like they’re up to no good!]

[Surely some monkey has already gone to report!]

[Hahaha, Old Xu is storming the Monkey Mountain!]

The monkeys of Wulingyuan were numerous, not as violent, but still with a touch of authority in their demeanor.

When the mountain has no tiger, monkeys assume the crown.

This saying isn’t groundless.

The viewers were having a great time watching.

So many monkeys surrounding Xu Yang gave off the vibe of "Xu Yang’s brave incursion into Huaguo Mountain."

Xu Yang didn’t have any strong feelings about monkeys; he neither liked nor disliked them, but he found them rather curious.

Soon, Xu Yang arrived at the designated area.

He only saw two very large trees in this area, with thick and broad branches.

But the system task hadn’t started yet, so he didn’t know which monkey he was supposed to chase.

Xu Yang, having nothing better to do, put down his backpack, took out his phone, and checked the live comments.

Just then, a mischievous monkey climbed down from the tree and stealthily made its way behind Xu Yang.

The drone captured this scene, and the viewers couldn’t help but snicker upon seeing the monkey.

That monkey had a heavy thieving vibe, looking sneaky as can be.

In fact, the monkey was indeed a little thief, creeping up behind Xu Yang and proceeding to unzip the backpack and rummage through it.

When Xu Yang turned around and saw this, he immediately shouted at it,

"Hey!"

The monkey, startled, snatched something from the backpack and turned to flee.

That something was Xu Yang’s outdoor flashlight.

The flashlight was particularly useful and very bright.

The monkey took the flashlight and ran.

"What the hell, put that down!"

Xu Yang called out in a hurry.

At that moment, the system task successfully triggered.

The task was to chase this monkey.

All you could see was the monkey climbing swiftly up the big tree, standing beside a few other monkeys, holding the flashlight, and laughing at Xu Yang with a "squeak squeak ha ha."

It laughed enormously, with its teeth clearly visible.

Seeing this scene, the viewers couldn’t hold back and erupted into laughter.

[Hahaha, this monkey is just too cute!]

[Old Xu’s met his Waterloo, never thought he’d be taken down by a monkey!]

[Looks like the Beast Taming Technique isn’t working!]

[He actually managed to steal something right out of Old Xu’s hands!]

The screen was filled with laughter.

This was a segment the viewers loved to see.

Everyone still preferred to see the host come up short, it just felt more satisfying that way.

But Xu Yang was clearly no ordinary person.

He put his phone in his pocket and murmured softly,

"This little guy actually stole my phone," "The battery in that phone is quite special, losing it wouldn’t be good for the soil in the forest."

"I’ve got to snatch it back."

"Looks like it’s time to get moving."

Xu Yang’s words had just dropped, and the netizens were puzzling over what he meant.

The next second, they saw Xu Yang leap straight out.

Xu Yang was fast.

He got to the base of the tree, pushed off with his foot, grabbed with both hands, and immediately started climbing swiftly up the tree.

Monkeys weren’t the only ones who could climb trees.

Holy crap!

The netizens were stunned, their eyes wide open.

Everyone had almost forgotten that Xu Yang was also a tree-climbing expert.

He used to climb very high when he collected Birch Mushrooms in the mountains.

But how could human tree-climbing skills compare to those of monkeys, whose bodies are lighter and arms longer, naturally suited for moving in the trees?

A tinge of shock emerged in everyone’s eyes.

The monkey thief was startled to see Xu Yang rapidly climbing up.

Something wasn’t right!

It had seen so many humans, but never one who could climb trees.

This area was a scenic spot, and monkeys had seen too many humans, but most humans were quite scared of monkeys.

Some would even scream twice before scurrying away at the monkey’s approach.

Unfortunately for them, Xu Yang was different; he had lived in the mountains for a long time and was incredibly agile.

With a few climbs, he was almost reaching out to grab the monkey thief.

The monkeys in the trees were so startled they scattered, and the surrounding monkeys also hid in fright.

If you could climb trees, then the monkeys really had to weigh their options.

Just like gorillas prey on monkeys, without the advantage of tree climbing, monkeys were at a disadvantage.

One could only see the monkey thief holding the flashlight, desperately running towards another tree.

The branches of the two large trees crossed each other, allowing it to leap across.

Xu Yang didn’t slow down either, running along the branches; he naturally couldn’t jump from high to high, as the upper branches were too thin.

But jumping from this tree to another was still doable.

Xu Yang landed on a lower fork of the other tree and then climbed up quickly again.

His skills left the netizens gaping.

The monkey thief was so scared it let out shrill screams.

In its panic, it even forgot to drop the flashlight, so one hand less made its climbing precarious, and it lost its grip, falling from the tree.

Xu Yang, right below, reacted quickly and grabbed it by the back of its neck.

Seeing Xu Yang holding the monkey, the audience in the live-stream were astounded.

What the hell?!

What have we just witnessed?

Is this even humanly possible?

What secret powers is he hiding?

This is incredible!

Running up a tree to catch a monkey?

Everyone was flabbergasted.

Xu Yang looked at the monkey in his hand, calmly took the flashlight from it, and then placed it on the trunk of a nearby tree.

Once on the tree, the monkey thief was so frightened it dashed away without daring to look back.

Its bright red buttocks were especially conspicuous.

Well done, why would you even provoke him!

The surrounding monkeys were also uncertain.

Moments ago these monkeys were a bit arrogant, each of them following Xu Yang as if to reprimand him for entering their territory.

But now, the monkeys didn’t dare to make any significant movements.

Some baby monkeys were held tightly by their mothers, motionless.

Xu Yang’s displayed ability was truly that of a Monkey King level.

Even better than a Monkey King.

If he lived here, this group of monkeys would indeed have to acknowledge him as their king.

Of course, Xu Yang had no interest whatsoever in being Monkey King.

"Luckily I got it back, this monkey is really brazen, stealing my stuff without me noticing."

Xu Yang climbed down from the tree and casually uttered a sentence.

The bullet screens exploded.

[Holy crap! Brother Yang, how many skills are you hiding!]

[With those skills, you must have been Horses’ Fortune in a past life!]

[Could it be the reincarnation of Brother Monkey?]

[Seriously, is that Qinggong? I’ve never seen anyone climb trees like that!]

[I’ve always suspected he knows Martial Arts, definitely from some secret sect!]

The netizens were all discussing it.

Xu Yang saw the bullet screens and was quite impressed by everyone’s imagination.

It didn’t matter, though; he was used to it.

After all, online, he was always known for these things.

The scenery of the Deep Mountain No-man’s Land in Wuling Yuan was not as beautiful as the scenery of the scenic spot.

The scenic area was built with a walkway around the mountains, where you could see further and the view was prettier.

There wasn’t much special inside the mountains.

Xu Yang walked for a while, feeling it was somewhat uninteresting.

"The scenery here is actually pretty good, but there’s a slight sense of calm in the mountains."

"There are just a lot of monkeys."

"I’d better walk towards the outskirts of the mountains."

Xu Yang planned to leave.

Simply completing a Treasure Hunting Task was enough after all, he hadn’t come here to explore this mountain.

He headed towards the forest area, and the live-stream content he brought continued to surprise people.

Watching his experiences in the Deep Mountain No-man’s Land was truly an extraordinary pleasure.
