Laden looked at the large arms falling down at him as they cast a shadow that completely blocked out the sun.
"It seems he is a sore loser," Laden said with a frown, his legs preparing to burst away from his spot.
With a kick of his leg, Laden applied an imnse amount of force to the ground and generated enough power to push him away from the attack range.
"Do we really have to battle the monkey leader when we are surrounded by his whole group?" Laden said while clenching his teeth.
"It doesn’t matter at all; we shall fight and win them all," Pri shouted.
In his position, Laden’s body remained close to the ground as he was ready to sprint away at any sign of attack from the beast.
But instead of the golden-furred monkey’s leader attacking again, it just stood there with his eyes locked on Laden. Laden could even observe its muscles being relaxed, like it had no intention of attacking anymore.
!
The beast leader let out a short harrumph before heading back to its seat.
"Is it over? Aren’t we fighting anymore?" Laden wondered.
Wooohohohoo!
The monkey that had led Laden into all of this ss ca to him again, making loud noises and making celebratory and welcoming gestures.
The four monkeys that had been previously carrying the makeshift throne quickly got back to their position, raising it on their shoulders and turning around to carry their leader away.
Laden remained in his spot, having no idea what he was supposed to do now; should he just wait or leave without saying anything?
Wohohooh haaaaa!
The monkey’s noise attracted Laden’s attention again when Laden noticed what the monkey was telling him.
"Don’t tell it wants to follow them?" Laden muttered.
"The last ti I followed you, I ended up here arm wrestling your leader to save myself."
"There’s no way I will be going with you," Laden thought.
"We need to see this to the end, Laden. Stop being a baby and follow him. We won the wrestling in the end, didn’t we?" Pri finally said.
But this ti Laden didn’t imdiately move; instead, he still seed a little hesitant about the idea of following that sore loser leader of a forbidden place sowhere he doesn’t know.
"How about this: if we get sothing good, I will tell you a very juicy secret," Pri proposed.
"Juicy Secret? Spill it now," Laden said anxiously.
"No no no, only if we get sothing good," Pri said with a firm tone.
"Alright, alright, we better not get into any unnecessary danger," Laden finally agreed.
After talking it all out with Pri, Laden finally got the confidence to actually follow the beast leader. As a result of their slow pace, the group hadn’t moved a far distance, so Laden was able to quickly catch up to them.
"Where are we going?" Laden asked the monkey.
Woohooo! Hahahaha!
The only responses Laden received were only so excited chatters and nothing else.
"What was I doing talking to a monkey?" Laden said self-deprecatingly.
It seems their destination wasn’t too far from where the main groups were, as Laden could see a cave a bit to the front, which appeared to be the destination.
"Ohhh, I am being invited to the leaders above," he thought.
It was now obvious Laden didn’t an any harm, so he also had no plan of harming them. It seems they have tested his strength and have deed him worthy.
"I wonder what is in there?" Laden let his mind wander a little.
"It better be so weird monkey harem," Laden thought as his mind wandered off to so mangas he had read in his previous life.
"It shouldn’t be so, should it?"
"Quit thinking of dumb and useless stuff and focus," Pri berated.
While Laden’s mind had been busy wandering off, they had gotten close to the cave entrance, allowing Laden to see a bit of the inside.
"This is a strange place," Laden wondered.
The inside of the cave was extrely dark; from his peak, Laden couldn’t see more than a ter into the cave, signifying how low the visibility actually was.
Laden maintained his composure while also making sure he was as alert as he could get.
They finally arrive at the actual entrance to the cave, and what Laden felt imdiately made him open his mouth in shock.
"Can you feel it, Pri?" Laden asked.
"Yes, I can. I told you we would be getting sothing good."
Coming out of the cage was a large amount of spirit energy, massive enough to make Pri and Laden feel their skins tingle a little.
"Yes, it seems you were right."
The monkey convoy didn’t stop when they arrived at the entrance; instead, they directly dived into the dark cave.
"We are going in."
The inside of the tunnel-like cave appeared much brighter than Laden had seen previously; there were glowing crystals sticking off the wall that were sparsely spread out.
They were just enough to make visibility possible and few enough to prevent the cave from being excessively lit.
After paying a bit of attention to the crystals, Laden’s attention was quickly grabbed by sothing off into the distance.
A bit off in front of them was a bright point of light, making it difficult for Laden to get any detail on where that place was and from the lack of reduction in their pace and the direction they were headed.
"We are going there," Laden muttered.
Despite not seeing any detail of the distant light, Laden knew that most of the spirit energy here was coming towards him from what he felt.
They quickly arrived at that point of light, which Laden noticed to be like an enlarged portion of the passage.
This enlarged part was extrely brightly lit, and Laden’s eyes were stuck on the source of light.
It was an extrely large piece of crystal that was hanging down from the ceiling; its size was comparable to all the crystals Laden had seen earlier and more.
"Laden, Laden, Laden!" Pri suddenly shouted.
"Get that fruit... Imdiately," his voice laced with undeniable excitent.
