Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

"Don't just stand there! Take us away!" Xu Si urged.

Xiao Li didn't say anything; as a subordinate, he only needed to follow orders. He immediately took action, went to the center of the group, and said to everyone, "Quickly, grab me!"

Before heading into the mountains, the group had a brief introduction. Everyone present knew what Xiao Li's specialty was, so they didn't hesitate and grabbed his arm.

"Sigh~"

Xiao Li gasped in shock. The force with which his teammate gripped his arm was... no, it was considerable!

He had the illusion that his arm was about to be crushed, but unfortunately he didn't have time to object. The ferocious ape pounced on them, its sharp claws already within reach, and in two or three seconds, they would be on his face.

"Hold on tight, Little Li's flying car, start it..."

As he spoke, the belt around his waist suddenly glowed, and five faintly glowing ropes quickly extended and wrapped around the waists of Zhang Chulan and the others.

At the same time, Xiao Li lightly pushed off the ground, and his whole body shot out like an arrow, taking five people with him and disappearing from the spot in an instant.

The monkeys that pounced from all directions missed their target, fell to the ground, and then piled up on top of each other.

Meanwhile, Xiao Li had already led Zhang Chulan and the others to run a kilometer away, then switched from speed mode to normal running mode, and continued to lead everyone forward.

Feeling like a balloon floating in the air, Zhang Chulan looked at the scenery on both sides and quickly retreated, feeling that his current movement speed was comparable to that of a high-speed train.

Of course, it could also be his imagination.

When the speed reaches a certain point, the scenery in your field of vision will appear to be rapidly receding and blurry.

A while later, Xiao Li suddenly stopped running. Zhang Chulan and the others reacted quickly and took countermeasures to try to stop him from rushing forward...

Unfortunately, the rope was a bit short. Before they could even demonstrate their skills, the rope taut, and the force of the forward thrust acted on Zhang Chulan and the others' abdomens, causing them to open their mouths, feel an urge to vomit, involuntarily stick their tongues out, and widen their eyes slightly...

Then, several forces were transmitted to Xiao Li through the rope. Although he had expected it, he still couldn't withstand it and was pulled forward by the group, staggering and running, and then... fell to the ground.

The others either fell to the ground or crashed into the rock face.

In short, no one was unharmed.

The monkeys, who had been on high alert, watched as their enemies fell to the ground one after another, their expressions one of utter bewilderment as they tilted their heads...

"Ugh! How embarrassing." ×2

Zhang Chulan and Xu Si were thinking the same thing at the same time.

Feng Baobao stood up nonchalantly, her gaze sweeping over the valley that looked as if it had been cleaved open by a knife. The monkeys seemed to sense something from her and slowly walked to her side.

He didn't call out to her, nor did he look at her; he just quietly squatted down beside her.

The ropes binding everyone disappeared, and the rest of the people got up from the ground one after another. They all looked at Xiao Li for a while, and although their gazes did not contain any extra meaning, they brought Xiao Li an extraordinary sense of oppression.

A moment later, everyone looked away and turned to look at Feng Baobao. They were quite surprised by the harmonious scene between humans and monkeys. Just a minute earlier, another group of monkeys had looked at them as if they were enemies.

"What's going on?" Xiao Li asked Xu Si. "Does your employee have the ability to control animals?"

Xu Si was equally curious, and he didn't reply to Xiao Li's question, pondering the reason why the monkeys were so friendly.

Xiao Zizai stared at the unusually large ape, which was taller than Feng Baobao even when it was squatting, with a somewhat serious expression.

These monkeys are stronger than the previous ones!

Old Meng wondered if Feng Baobao possessed a similar extraordinary ability to communicate with and control animals.

Zhang Chulan walked towards Feng Baobao. As he approached, the monkeys suddenly turned their heads and stared at him expressionlessly.

An oppressive feeling instantly descended, causing Zhang Chulan to stop in his tracks and silently stare at the monkey troop...

what happened?

Why do I feel like these monkeys aren't being very friendly to me?!

Hey! Are these monkeys biased towards girls and dislike boys?

Zhang Chulan turned his gaze to Xu Si, tilting his head slightly towards the direction of the monkey troop.

Xu Si, who instantly understood the meaning behind Zhang Chulan's actions, was speechless for a moment. He took a few steps forward and headed towards the location of the monkey troop. Then, the monkey troop that had been watching Zhang Chulan turned their attention to Xu Si.

Staring at him with indifferent eyes, he felt a heavy sense of oppression, as if taking another step forward would result in being swarmed and beaten by a group of monkeys.

The others tried it too, and the result was the same.

Only Feng Baobao could get along harmoniously with the monkey troop.

There must be something wrong here.

The group thought to themselves, and instead of dwelling on the matter, turned their attention to the valley.

"It seems your guess was correct."

Xiao Zizai pushed up his slipped glasses, stared at the strange carvings on the rock wall for a while, his expression unchanged.

"Hmm." Xu Si nodded slightly.

When he saw that so many mutated animals had mastered the method of refining Qi, he already felt that something was amiss.

Even if one ape awakens its mind and successfully masters the method of Qi cultivation, it would be very difficult to teach other apes Qi cultivation...

Because ordinary animals don't possess such high intelligence, even following instructions is difficult for them, making it hard for them to learn Qi cultivation...

Moreover, there is a threshold called "talent" for refining Qi.

The others were also intelligent, and they understood what the two meant from their conversation, so they all turned their gazes toward the valley.

Except for Feng Baobao, who was stroking the monkey's golden fur.

"Should we continue exploring?" Old Meng asked.

"There might be something even more dangerous ahead," Xiao Li guessed.

Xu Si thought for a moment and said, "Let's keep going! If we encounter a difficult enemy, we'll retreat."

“I have no objection,” Xiao Zizai said.

“…I can control some animals and send them to scout ahead first,” Old Meng suggested.

"I can also scout ahead. With my speed, I can escape even if I encounter enemies," Xiao Li volunteered.

"Old Meng's suggestion is fine, but Xiao Li, don't make things worse."

After the discussion ended, Lao Meng turned and walked back into the woods. A little while later, some animals ran out of the forest and headed towards the valley.

But before they could run into the valley, two monkeys appeared in their path, and with a series of "bang bang bang..." sounds, one animal after another was smashed away by the two monkeys.

Even the birds flying in the air were photographed by several other monkeys.

They are like soldiers guarding the valley, driving away anyone who tries to enter...

Using somewhat forceful methods!

"Are you confident you can defeat them?" Xu Si asked.

“Based on the speed they just showed, I can win against five or fewer,” Xiao Zizai replied.

“But there are more than twenty here,” Zhang Chulan said.

Chapter 238 Chu Lan, I am your grandfather

If the other individuals were at the same level of combat strength as Xiao Zizai, they could try a brute-force attack and perhaps break through the monkey troop's defensive line.

However, two members of the team are somewhat lacking in direct combat ability, so it is unlikely that they can break through the defensive line through a strong attack.

The only person who could possibly cross the valley unharmed...

Xiao Zizai and the others turned their gazes to Feng Baobao. Zhang Chulan and Xu Si slowly shook their heads, rejecting the other three's suggestion. They did not use the excuse that "Feng Baobao's personality is a bit silly, and it would be difficult for her to achieve anything by acting alone," but rather that "there may be danger on the other side of the valley, and it would be too dangerous for her to go alone."

No, perhaps both of these excuses are Zhang Chulan and Xu Si's true thoughts.

Unable to continue exploring, the group changed direction and began exploring the nearby mountains and forests.

The mountains and forests are filled with powerful mutated animals, each occupying a territory or forming a team to occupy another territory, silently absorbing "spiritual energy" to enhance their strength.

When Zhang Chulan and his group stepped into the area occupied by the mutated animals, the more docile ones would keep an eye on them, while the less docile ones would attack directly...

For example, a monkey troop that has become a "local tyrant" in the mountains.

Two days later, the temporary team split up. Zhang Chulan, Xu Si, and Feng Baobao went to Biyou Village, while the rest returned to the "company".

………………

On his way to Biyou Village, Zhang Chulan checked his missed calls. During the two days he was out of contact, three people had been looking for him: Wang Ye, Zhuge Qing, and Zhang Lingyu.

Zhang Chulan raised an eyebrow slightly, curious about why the three of them had come to him, and decided to ask.

Since we're friends, I should naturally help out if I can.

"Hey~ Master Wang, what can I do for you?"

Zhang Chulan spoke casually, indicating that he and Wang Ye had a relatively good relationship.

"I need your help with something."

"you say……"

Wang Ye began to recount his experiences, and Zhang Chulan listened in silence, a rough plan already forming in his mind.

"I have other tasks to attend to right now and am on my way to Biyou Village. I can't rush over to help right away. Please come to Biyou Village so we can meet and discuss this in detail."

Zhang Chulan explained his current situation and, knowing the circumstances Wang Ye was facing, offered a compromise: "As for your family, the 'company' will send some people to protect them."

Upon hearing Zhang Chulan's words, Xu Si met his gaze for a moment, then slowly nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

"Okay, see you in Biyou Village."

After saying that, the phone hung up.

Zhang Chulan continued to call back, and the second caller was Zhuge Qing.

"Hey~ what's up?"

"The matter has been resolved. See you in Biyou Village."

After saying that, the call ended abruptly. Listening to the dial tone, Zhang Chulan's expression became subtle. Could it be...?

Having already guessed, he dialed the third phone number. Of the three, his relationship with Zhang Lingyu was the most delicate. Although their relationship had eased a bit after the finals, they still didn't get along very well.

One is smooth-talking, the other is upright.

The compatibility is indeed not very good.
