At the entrance of the cave mansion, the treasures that had been piled up like mountains and discarded by Xu Fan were now ticulously organized. A small golden monkey sat in front of a heap of treasures, continuously devouring them.
The little monkey's posture was precisely what Xu Fan had been doing inside the cave mansion monts ago!
But the question is... where did this golden little monkey spring from?
In front of Xu Fan, thousands of exotic beasts trembled in fear, not daring to be the least bit impudent, yet this golden little monkey was completely indifferent to Xu Fan's presence, showcasing its mystical nature.
Ordinary exotic beasts, even the Beast King, could not swallow treasures and spiritual dicines incessantly like the golden monkey could, treasures and spiritual dicines laden with terrifying energy were like candies to it, swallowed without care.
This scene piqued Xu Fan's interest.
While cultivating the Beast Taming Art, Xu Fan learned of the existence of a golden ape thousands of years ago, whose strength was frighteningly fearso, single-handedly destroying the Myriad Beasts Sect. The golden monkey before him was clearly not that golden ape but could very likely be its descendant.
Xu Fan stood before the little monkey, fearing to scare it, gently asked, "Little fellow, can you understand what I'm saying?"
Exotic beasts could understand human speech, so surely such a mysterious little monkey could naturally understand what Xu Fan was saying.
However, Xu Fan's gentle deanor seed superfluous... the golden monkey appeared to disregard Xu Fan entirely, continuing to swallow treasures and spiritual dicines contentedly.
"Oh my, this little monkey knows no bounds."
Xu Fan felt a mont of speechlessness after being ignored by a little monkey, but naturally, he wouldn't hold a grudge against a monkey. His mind stirred, devising a plan.
"Little monkey, do you know whose treasures you are devouring?"
The golden monkey rolled its eyes, casually glanced at Xu Fan, already knowing these were indeed Xu Fan's treasures.
With this look, the golden monkey was clearly telling Xu Fan that it was eating his treasures—what could he do about it?
"Heh."
Xu Fan, once again underestimated, was not annoyed but instead said with a smile, "Little monkey, you're wrong. These treasures aren't mine; they belong to thousands of exotic beasts—they're rely temporary here to aid my breakthrough."
"Now that I've achieved a breakthrough, strictly speaking, these treasures belong to thousands of exotic beasts. You consud their treasures without their consent; when thousands of exotic beasts beco furious, I won't be able to save you..."
The golden monkey shivered, dropping the treasures to the ground, its expression turning into one of adorable panic.
"Haha!"
Xu Fan pointed at the frightened golden monkey, laughing heartily.
Xu Fan had long realized that this golden monkey was unafraid for two reasons: he hadn't shown any intimidating aura and the golden monkey was like a naïve newborn calf unafraid of the tiger.
Judging by the golden monkey's age, it was evidently an immature juvenile, its intelligence equivalent to a human child of seven or eight.
Thus, Xu Fan had the urge to tease this golden monkey.
"Chirp! Cackle!@!"
Evidently aware of Xu Fan's teasing, the golden monkey flew into a rage, throwing aside the treasure and reaching out with its claws toward Xu Fan.
As fast as a golden flash, the golden monkey swiftly arrived before Xu Fan.
However, when it ca to speed, how could Xu Fan lose to a little monkey?
With a blink of an eye, Xu Fan appeared behind the golden monkey, grabbing its tail and, with a gentle tug, lifted it upside down in the air.
This golden monkey's strength was roughly twice that of ordinary exotic beasts, weaker than the Beast King. Given its age, such strength was extraordinarily mystical, yet in front of Xu Fan, it still fell short.
"Chirp!!@waa!"
As Xu Fan held the golden monkey upside down, it shrieked in fear, struggling desperately but unable to escape Xu Fan's Five Finger Mountain.
"Dare to steal more food now?"
The golden monkey evidently realized this powerful being standing before it, quickly abandoning its disdain, raising its paws at Xu Fan in surrender.
"That's more like it!"
Seeing the golden monkey's respectful attitude, Xu Fan nodded in satisfaction, releasing the golden monkey.
Whoosh!
The golden monkey landed on the ground like a golden flash, zooming a hundred ters away in an instant. After running about three hundred ters, assuming it was safe, it turned back around and made a face at Xu Fan.
It was obvious Xu Fan's earlier act hadn't truly subdued the golden monkey.
"Mischievous."
Xu Fan smiled faintly, stepped forward, a slight vibration from the Fire Wings behind him, and in the blink of an eye, appeared again before the golden monkey.
The golden monkey, pulling a face, froze upon seeing Xu Fan suddenly reappear.
At its young age, the golden monkey couldn't understand how Xu Fan could have such terrifying speed.
Xu Fan smiled lightly, once more grabbing the golden monkey's tail, raising it upside down. Dangling before Xu Fan again, the golden monkey saw the smile on Xu Fan's face, seemingly more terrifying than a horrifying exotic beast, and scread in fear, almost bursting into tears.
Seeing the golden monkey's fearful expression, Xu Fan spared it the lecturing, but sternly said, "Hone your skills discreetly, don't be reckless, got it?"
The golden monkey, lacking the wisdom to comprehend Xu Fan's words, nonetheless nodded repeatedly.
"Go ho obediently now."
Xu Fan released the golden monkey once more, yet this ti, it scurried away without daring to be playful, turning into a golden flash as it escaped into the distance.
Watching the golden monkey's disappearing figure, the smile on Xu Fan's face gradually faded, replaced by intense cautiousness.
A suddenly appearing golden monkey—had Xu Fan not read the Beast Taming Art scroll, he might not have thought much of it. But now, Xu Fan was acutely aware sothing was amiss.
A juvenile golden monkey possessing near Beast King strength clearly was, without a doubt, a descendant of the golden ape! However, a more alarming issue is... could the golden ape from a thousand years ago still be alive?
The disturbance caused by the thousands of exotic beasts searching for treasures, if the golden ape from a thousand years ago is alive and remains within this relic, it surely knows!
This sudden appearance of the golden monkey—is it an invitation from the golden ape, or a test?
