The fox has no bad intentions

Chapter 367 Negotiation Expert
"I confessed! I confessed everything!"

"Get this monstrosity out of here, it's starting to grow mushrooms!"

The giant salamander was leaping and bounding in the stream, its body arched high, almost as if it were about to start breathing.

The fungus spreading within the parasite's body, after absorbing nutrients from the giant salamander's mucus, grows rapidly and begins to sprout brightly colored mushrooms on the giant salamander's body.

"Look! See? This is how intelligence is obtained."

Master Fuli looked proud and addressed the Monkey King, telling them to come and watch carefully, learning frame by frame.

"Parasyte, stop growing mushrooms. We'll need to ask it for information later."

Monkey King: "."

While Master Fuli's words make some sense, according to the Monkey King's knowledge...

Lord Fuli defeated a powerful spirit beast to obtain information about the precious herb, which led to the discovery of the ultimate cause of the anomalies within the Qinling Mountains. Later, he even rode a guardian-level spirit beast like a horse at the Qinling Panda Ecological Base to obtain information that the precious herb might be related to the crested ibis.

Regardless of whether the giant salamander in front of us has reached the level of a guardian.

Its specialized jet propulsion capability alone is beyond what firearms and chemical weapons can handle.

Its body is covered in defensive mucus, giving the giant salamander a very high margin for error, as well as the ability to use ranged attacks.

In the realm of spirit beasts, the ability to get directions from "locals" only occurs when there is a significant disparity in strength.

"Let's talk about it! About the Treasure Grass." An Sheng gestured for the fungal parasite beast to restrain itself.

"huhuhuhu"

The panting giant salamander lay down in the stream, glanced at the parasite hanging in front of its eyes, and completely lost the will to struggle. The whole salamander began to give up.

"I don't know if there's any special connection between the crested ibis and the precious herb, but if you want to know where you can find a lot of precious herb, you can go to the [Bashan Tiankeng] inside human mouths to look for it."

“I’ve been to Bashan through caves. The number of precious herbs in the forests there is far greater than in the Qinling Mountains outside. But there’s a swarm of blood-sucking mosquitoes playing their violins there, making the whole sinkhole buzz.”

The giant salamander stretched out its limbs, lay down on the ground, drank two mouthfuls of the stream, and then told what it knew.

Judging from its language and word choice.

The giant salamander should be very familiar with human society, as it can use many terms related to human society.

"Gone?"

"Gone!"

The fox and the giant salamander stared at each other. The giant salamander widened its intelligent little eyes and stared back at the fox.

"Um, Mr. Fortune Fox, could you please ask the giant salamander why it's forcing these macaques to help it build its so-called Dragon Palace?"

Although the golden monkeys help translate and the monkey king understands what the giant salamander is saying, if it wants to ask questions, it depends on whether the giant salamander is in the mood to answer.

"Hey!"

Master Fuli looked at the giant salamander and called out.

"The water quality here is good, and I like the clear spring water flowing out here, but the temperature in the cave is too low. I also want to enjoy the spring water here while basking in the sun."

The giant salamander glanced at the monkey king and reluctantly said, "Before I moved here, I lived in the breeding farm watching TV. I know monkeys are relatively intelligent, so I'm asking them to help me think of a solution."

"In the end, they were all rascals, and all they did all day long was get horny and scratch their crotches, and that was all they did."

The giant salamander's words struck the monkey king like a thunderbolt, and he squatted down, clutching his head with a bitter expression.

Waaaaah. We really tried our best, but the stones we piled up really do collapse. We've started to think about why the stones collapse.

Giant salamanders belong to the Cryptobranchidae family and are ancient creatures that can be traced back to the Devonian period of the Paleozoic Era. They are very picky about the water quality of their living environment, generally preferring to live in water temperatures of 10 to 25 degrees Celsius and disliking direct sunlight.

The giant salamander, which calls itself the Dragon King, really likes the water quality in this cave, but the water in the cave is too cold. Other giant salamanders might just have to bear with it, since with their abilities, they can only bully small fish and shrimp.

But the giant salamander is different; it is not without the means to enjoy something better.

So, it captured a group of monkeys and made them build a palace that looked like a breeding farm, just to make itself happy.

It turns out.

All the nutrients that these mischievous monkeys used to consume were poured into the monkey head mushrooms, leaving none for the monkey heads themselves.

When the giant salamander talks about building the Dragon Palace, one out of every three sentences will inevitably involve an attack on the macaque's body.

Hericium erinaceus has received special attention.

"Master Fuli, the sinkhole in Bashan that the giant salamander mentioned is almost in Hanzhong. We need to walk more than ten kilometers of mountain road to reach our destination." The Monkey King took out his satellite phone, pulled up a high-precision map from the Security Bureau, drew a line, and marked his current location and the sinkhole that the giant salamander mentioned.

"More than ten kilometers of mountain road, do you think that's realistic?" An Sheng looked at the Monkey King's face, which was full of black lines.

The ordinary mountain road is only a dozen kilometers long, so I can just walk it. Anyway, I'm using a drone, so I don't need to walk on it myself.

However, given the stamina of the monkey king and his troop, it would take them more than ten kilometers to reach their destination in a completely primeval forest, and they would likely arrive around noon the next day.

"Yes, that's what I wanted to talk about."

The Monkey King nodded and said, "With our physical strength, we absolutely cannot reach it today. So, I think we should temporarily stop the human search and let the monkey troop explore the way while we call upon satellites in the sky to monitor the sinkhole around the clock."

The purpose of this trip is to find the source of the strange changes in the Qinling Mountains.

Currently, a lead has been found, and technological means can be used to conduct a comprehensive investigation.

According to the giant salamander, there was a swarm of mosquitoes, presumably possessed by spirits, in the primeval forest of that sinkhole. The Monkey King did not want to rashly engage in a conflict with the mosquito swarm.

The task of searching for the source of the Qinling anomaly is not actually the highest priority task in the Security Bureau.

Matters concerning the Emerging Agricultural Academy are what the Security Bureau is primarily focused on.

A hasty confrontation with the mosquito swarm could easily result in injuries and casualties, which would be detrimental to subsequent operations.

Anyway, the sinkhole is deserted. Once the incident at the New Agricultural Academy is over, we can lure out the mosquito swarm and deal with them with flamethrowers after we've identified the target.

"Okay, let's go back and eat!"

After listening to the Monkey King's analysis, An Sheng, who had originally wanted to run away when he heard that he still had to climb more than ten kilometers of mountain road, immediately agreed and prepared to go home for dinner.

However, before going home, An Sheng felt there was one more thing she needed to do.

The fungal parasite, under its own command, defeated the giant salamander.

But there was no activity on the wish list.

An Sheng wasn't sure whether the giant salamander was genuinely docile or lacked willpower because she hadn't defeated it herself.

An Sheng is going to test it out.

After discussing with Master Fuli, the Monkey King, who had temporarily suspended his mission, looked at the enormous creature lying in the stream.

"Ahem, Your Majesty the Dragon King."

The Monkey King looked at the giant salamander and said politely, "We just learned from the macaques that you want to build a palace that suits you? That's perfect, we are quite well-off and have a lot of connections in human society."

"We wish to invite the Dragon King to come out of seclusion. While you are away, we will help you build a Dragon Palace. Furthermore, during your time with us, we can collect the finest waters from across the land to supply the Dragon King with his needs."

The Monkey King extended an invitation to the giant salamander and began to explain the power of the Security Bureau.

just.

As the Monkey King was speaking, he suddenly noticed something amiss.

Behind the giant salamander, a tree fell over. The canopy that should have been on top was upside down, and the roots of the tree pointed straight towards the sky. The monkey king was stunned.

He looked down at the tree canopy and saw the old man Fuli standing upright, his two paws gripping the tree trunk, while the dog sneaked around to the back of the giant salamander.

"The Security Bureau? Pfft, I have no interest. Aren't your human cities polluted?"

"Boom-"

The giant salamander rolled its eyes, the Monkey King stared in disbelief, and the Fortune Fox scratched its head in bewilderment.

Good guy!
I've tried so hard, but I still can't get the willpower.

You big guy, why don't you have any ambition? You've grown so big for nothing.

"Master Fuli"

The Monkey King looked hesitant, then swallowed the words that were about to come out and prepared to call the helicopter.

No wonder Wang Qiqi said that.

If you encounter a problem that you can't handle, just ask the master. Master Fuli is extremely good at persuasion.

Isn't he good at persuasion?

He went up and knocked the person unconscious with one blow. The only one who could speak was Master Fuli; the other person couldn't even think.
