His men were just waiting for that one sentence!
Upon hearing this, they quickly huddled together, forming a circle, and retreated while fighting back in the direction they had come from.
Because at this point their goals were aligned.
With everyone working together, they actually managed to slow down the attacks from the wild beasts!
The lynxes and wildcats, threatened by the bullets, stayed nearby, howling, and dared not rush in any further.
Jin Yunu was reluctant to let them die, so she commanded the cats to slowly approach, looking for the next opportunity to attack.
As Ma Zhenbang walked further and further into the distance, his figure disappeared from sight.
Luo Laowai asked unwillingly, "Are we just going to let them go like that?"
Although Chen Yulou was also unwilling, he had already made up his mind: "Don't worry, they will definitely not be able to escape from western Hunan!"
suddenly.
Chen Yulou spotted an unusual figure among the cats, nudged Li Xiaohu with his elbow, pointed, and asked, "Brother Xiaohu."
"Look at that cat, doesn't it look like the water-crossing gourd cat you mentioned?"
Li Xiaohu followed the gaze.
Sure enough, there was a cat with a peculiar appearance among the group of stray cats!
The cat was covered in gray and white markings, with particularly thick fur. It was large and fat, thin in the front and thick in the back, looking like a big gourd, and had a large and long tail behind it!
It was none other than the spirit cat that Li Xiaohu had mentioned back then, the water-crossing gourd cat!
Chen Yulou had kept this matter in mind, which is why he was able to spot this unusual cat at a glance, thanks to his exceptional eyesight...
But I was also a little surprised.
I never imagined that there really was such a legendary spirit cat in western Hunan!
Li Xiaohu was overjoyed and immediately had the idea of subduing him.
He hurriedly whistled a few strange whistles at the water-crossing gourd cat, trying to attract its attention.
"Whoosh! ~ Whoosh!"
As expected, the water-crossing gourd cat noticed Li Xiaohu and turned to look at him.
Just when Li Xiaohu thought victory was in his grasp.
Suddenly, loud shouts echoed from the surrounding woods!
"Drink ah ah ah!"
Immediately following, all the treetops trembled, and another flurry of birds took flight!
The sounds of "chirping and wailing" and "whimpering and spitting" rose and fell!
Looks like those monkeys and their offspring are here again!
Countless pebbles and stones flew out from the forest.
Not only did they catch Ma Zhenbang's group off guard, but they also startled all the cats on the ground!
"Meow!" "Roar!"
The wildcats hissed into the woods, then scattered and disappeared into the woods on the other side.
Even when those tigers were showing off to the monkeys in the forest, they were met with an even fiercer roar in response!
"Drink!"
Upon hearing the roar, the tigers had no choice but to jump into the woods on the other side.
The water-crossing gourd cat that Li Xiaohu had been keeping an eye on also ran away in the chaos.
Jin Yunu ran back to Li Xiaohu's side and meowed a few times.
Li Xiaohu suddenly looked nervously in the direction from which the roars came, and sighed inwardly.
"Why did you have to show up now of all times? Why not earlier or later?"
"What's going on?" Chen Yulou asked, puzzled.
Li Xiaohu glanced unwillingly in the direction the water-crossing gourd cat had gone, then shouted at Chen Yulou and the others, "Run!"
"The mountain king is here!"
"Mountain King?" Chen Yulou, Partridge Whistle, and the others all looked puzzled.
"There's no time to explain." Li Xiaohu didn't explain further, but turned and ran into the woods nearby, signaling everyone to hide first.
Chen Yulou and the others had no choice but to follow suit.
Then they all hid in the shadows, quietly observing the movements of Ma Zhenbang and his gang.
Chen Yulou suddenly spotted a huge white figure in the mountains!
"Look over there!"
The white figure twirled and leaped among the trees, rushing down the mountain at an incredible speed!

Chapter 84 - The White-Haired Old Ape Who Is Either a Demon or an Immortal! (Please Subscribe to All Chapters!)
The white figure looked humanoid, yet it was far too enormous!
From a distance, it looks like a giant.
It's probably much larger than Kunlun Moller.
Furthermore, its arms were very thick and long, but one arm was always hanging down, as if it were injured.
"That's?!" Partridge Whistle realized that something was wrong with the figure.
He is extremely sensitive to demonic energy.
The moment I spotted that figure, I sensed a strong demonic aura.
“A spirit!” Li Xiaohu confirmed his guess and said, “It looks like an old white-haired ape.”
"Perhaps it is the monkey king of this group of monkeys."
Chen Yulou asked, somewhat puzzled, "But why are these monkeys attacking us?"
Partridge Whistle explained, "These monkeys can be found in many places."
"They are very intelligent and will specifically rob passing merchants on mountain roads, stealing food, drinks, and even clothes."
"Then they would disguise themselves as humans and continue robbing people in the mountains."
"However, those monkeys are very cunning. They will specifically target groups with few people. Once there are many people, or if there are weapons that they are afraid of, they will give up."
Chen Yulou also sensed something was wrong with 21 and continued to ask, "Even without Ma Zhenbang and the others, we still have more than a hundred people!"
"What's more, Ma Zhenbang brought several hundred people with him, yet they weren't afraid at all!"
"They even chased us all the way here to fight!"
Luo Laowai found it amusing and jokingly remarked, "These monkeys are really clever."
"Could it be that they've set their sights on our treasures and are planning to rob us?"
Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle shook their heads and smiled upon hearing this.
They simply couldn't imagine it.
What use are those monkeys to rob those gold, silver, and precious artifacts?
But Li Xiaohu said something unexpected.
"These monkeys are indeed here to steal the treasure."
"Huh?" Chen Yulou, Partridge Whistle, and the others were stunned for a moment and asked the question that had been bothering them.
Li Xiaohu continued to explain, "If it weren't for the desire to steal the treasure, they wouldn't have come out in full force, and even the Monkey King would have come."
“However…” Li Xiaohu suddenly changed the subject, “They are not after those gold, silver, jewels, or other precious items.”
"It's for those precious elixirs, spiritual medicines, and medicinal herbs!"
These words only deepened the bandits' confusion.
"Ok?"
Chen Yulou asked incredulously, "Why did they forcibly seize those precious elixirs, spiritual medicines, medicinal herbs, and immortal plants?"
"Could it be that they also want to consume elixirs to seek immortality and then cultivate to attain enlightenment?"
"More or less." Li Xiaohu's words once again made Chen Yulou and the others widen their eyes.
Could it be that these mountain monkeys have really mastered the art of cultivation?
Li Xiaohu explained, "Look at the right arm of that white-haired old ape, isn't it drooping?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the white-haired old ape and noticed that its right arm was hanging limply at its sides.
Li Xiaohu continued, "It's injured."
