Chapter 150 Monkey Spirit or Human?
Lin Quan and the others got up again and headed deeper into the Twenty-Four Seasons Valley.

When the group arrived at the entrance to the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley, Lin Quan successfully saw his target.

Two upright-walking monkeys, almost the same size as humans!
At this moment, the two monkeys were squatting on the ground.

Upon seeing the arrival of the group, the two monkeys exchanged a glance and then stood up simultaneously.

The two monkeys looked at Lin Quan and the others, exchanged a glance, and then burst into laughter.

Finally, one of the monkeys actually started clapping.

Seeing the monkey's actions, Lin Quan and the others were also stunned.

Wang Ye: "Interesting! This monkey can not only laugh, it can even clap!"

Lin Quan smiled and turned to Lao Meng, saying, "It seems they've been waiting for quite some time."

"Alright, I originally thought we would have to go inside to see them."

"But now it seems that it's not necessary!"

"We can complete our mission here."

Old Meng took a deep breath, took off his glasses and wiped them, and then removed the biological sampling box and protective gear from his body.

With Lin Quan's encouraging gaze, he slowly stepped out of the line.

A wisp of gentle Qi slowly rose from the palm of his hand, outlining soft ripples in the air.

"careful!"

Zhang Lingyu subconsciously took half a step forward, but was stopped by Wang Ye's outstretched hand.

Wang Ye looked at Lao Meng and said, "Don't disturb him; he's trying to build a bridge of communication with the other party."

With each step Lao Meng took, his Qi spread out a little more.

When they were five meters away from the two monkeys, one of them suddenly let out a low cry, and the Qi in the air instantly became heavy.

Old Meng stood frozen in place, fine beads of sweat seeping from his forehead.

He could clearly feel that the other person's Qi was like an invisible net, scanning him from all angles.

Lin Quan's voice came from behind.

"Stay calm, they're testing your intentions."

Old Meng slowly closed his eyes, clearing his mind of all distractions. Scenes of observing animals in the laboratory flashed through his mind, including interactions with gorillas and recording the migration of birds.

Then, the biologist's methods came into play.

Old Meng's Qi became even purer and gentler, even incorporating a touch of curiosity and goodwill.

A moment later, the monkey, which had been grooming its nails, tilted its head and let out a series of clear cries.

The sound was no longer a simple beastly roar, but rather carried a certain rhythm, as if it were speaking a unique language.

Immediately afterwards, one of the monkeys slowly walked towards Lao Meng, each step carrying a strange rhythm that subtly resonated with Lao Meng's Qi fluctuations.

Lin Quan watched this scene, then turned to face V and Er Zhuang.

"Erzhuang, activate comprehensive monitoring, focusing on capturing their brainwaves and Qi field fluctuations."

"V, get ready for data modeling. Don't overlook any subtle changes."

Er Zhuang quickly pointed the camera at the two of them.

V also took out several sensors and pointed them at the two monkeys.

Zhang Lingyu's Adam's apple bobbed as he asked, "Chairman Lin, can Old Meng really communicate with them? This...this is beyond common sense."

After all, the monkeys in front of him were no ordinary creatures. The aura emanating from them even made this high-ranking master of Longhu Mountain feel a sense of oppression.

Lin Quan narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Lao Meng, and remained silent for a long time before speaking: "I can't be sure either."

"Old Meng has studied animal behavior for many years and has an extraordinary understanding of the emotional fluctuations and behavioral patterns of living beings. In the past, he could easily calm down frenzied wild beasts with his exquisite control of Qi."

"But these two... the intelligence in their eyes, the demeanor in their every move, clearly transcends animal instincts, more like beings who have stepped into the realm of the supernatural." "Perhaps, they really have become spirits, or special individuals born from some unknown force."

Ma Xianhong watched Lao Meng and the two monkeys with great interest.

"It would be incredibly interesting if we could figure out the reasons behind their mutations!"

Wang Ye sat cross-legged to the side, watching quietly.

Erzhuang and V's recording equipment continued to run, capturing every detail of this special exchange.

Apart from the faint sound of instruments running, there was no other noise. Everyone held their breath, witnessing this historic moment.

A slight smile finally appeared on Lao Meng's lips. He knew that this difficult communication had finally taken the first step towards success.

Old Meng stood facing the monkey that strolled forward.

The other monkey watched its companions and Lao Meng talk, its scarlet eyes darting around, occasionally glancing at Lin Quan and the others.

Lin Quan lowered his voice and ordered, "Erzhuang, turn on the infrared thermal imaging and EEG monitoring at full speed."

"V, analyze the flow patterns of their Qi, focusing on recording the frequency of language."

Erzhuang's fingers flew across the tablet, and the scanner controlled by V emitted a bright blue light, enveloping the entire scene in a halo of blue light.

Old Meng slowly extended his palm, a gesture of goodwill he had used in countless studies of animal behavior.

To everyone's surprise, the monkey also raised its forelimbs, its fingertips half an inch away from Old Meng's palm. After a moment's pause, it gently touched it.

Lü Liang's eyes widened as he exclaimed, "This...this is a handshake?"

"Have they really become sentient?!"

Upon hearing Lü Liang's words, Er Zhuang couldn't help but say, "Impossible! After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was no longer allowed for beings to become spirits!"

Just then, Old Meng suddenly spoke up: "They...they say they're waiting for their 'kin.'"

"They see themselves as different; they know they are different from other wild beasts!"

Upon hearing Lao Meng's words, Lin Quan couldn't help but look at the long, narrow Tongtian Valley behind the two monkeys.

These two are the only two monkeys in the entire troop that are able to live in Tongtian Valley.

The other monkeys weren't even qualified to enter Tongtian Valley!

More importantly, they can communicate.

If these two cannot communicate, then they remain nothing more than wild beasts.

Just like the two groups of monkeys outside Tongtian Valley, although they are different and some can even understand human speech, they are still wild beasts!
Why? Because being able to understand doesn't mean you've lost your wildness!
In contrast, these two are completely different!

Lin Quan's pupils contracted sharply, signaling Er Zhuang to bring the recording equipment closer.

Then Lin Quan said to Lao Meng, "Can I take some people with me?"

After listening, Old Meng turned to the two monkeys and asked, "Can I let them come over?"

One of the monkeys glanced at the other.

The other monkey hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Old Meng looked at Lin Quan and said, "Okay! Come on over!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Quan said to the people behind him, "Be careful, don't treat those two like monkeys, treat them like your own kind!"

"They are the outliers among the monkey troop."

"We are outcasts among people!"

After Lin Quan finished speaking, everyone nodded in unison.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Quan turned and walked towards Lao Meng.
