Chapter 102: Upright Monkey

Along the way, Xu Nian was not idle, and kept asking around, trying to get some information from Zuo Qiuyue.

But unfortunately, Zuo Qiuyue didn't know anything, and didn't even know where he was going. He only knew a satellite positioning coordinate.

Zuo Qiuyue was also very curious about why Xu Nian suddenly appeared in the forbidden crystal tunnel outside the Crystal City, but Xu Nian was vague about it.

It's not that he didn't want to say it, but it was really hard to say about Song Fangqin, and he didn't want more people to know about it.

But he confirmed from Zuo Qiuyue about the red hilt. The so-called one solution means to unlock the first spiritual lock.

For example, the red mole on Zuo Qiuyue's forehead is the state of not being solved. Once it is solved, it will become

"What will it become?"

Xu Nian saw that Zuo Qiuyue didn't say anything while talking, so he asked.

Zuo Qiuyue rolled his eyes while driving along with the navigation: "Anyway, you just need to know that I am just an ordinary pioneer who has just solved the first solution not long ago. As for the form of the first solution, I... I have no obligation to tell you."

Xu Nian seemed to understand something, and said strangely: "It seems that your first solution is not ordinary, Qiuyue!"

"Humph!"

Zuo Qiuyue responded with a cold snort.

Xu Nian laughed, and suddenly thought of something, and said strangely: "Then why can you solve and unsolve freely, but I can't return to the unsolved state?"

Zuo Qiuyue rolled his eyes again: "I asked you to learn more from Sister Tang, but you didn't want to. Now you don't know anything, right? Idiot, if you want to be free and liberated, you must first think about it!"

"Think?"

The next moment, Xu Nian seemed to think of something, looking at the red hilt in his hand, and the image of a rattle appeared in his mind.

The black light flashed on the red hilt, and it turned into the shape of a rattle again.

"So simple?"

Xu Nian was surprised.

"What else do you think?"

Zuoqiuyue said unhappily: "But if you want to unlock it again, you will have to use your spiritual power, and it consumes a lot. It is best not to release your spiritual power until the battle."

Xu Nian nodded, thinking of the advancement and the so-called soul ruler that Yu Man had mentioned before, and asked casually: "Qiuyue, in addition to unlocking the spiritual lock, do our pioneers have other ways to improve their abilities? For example, advancement?"

"Advancement? What is that?"

Zuoqiuyue looked back at Xu Nian in confusion.

Xu Nian was stunned and smiled: "Nothing, just curious."

"Tsk, I think you just read too many novels, there is no such thing as advancement, just unlocking the spiritual lock is enough for a pioneer Qiongqi to achieve in his lifetime."

"That's true."

Xu Nian seemed to understand something, and stopped talking, but closed his eyes to rest.

Zuoqiuyue saw Xu Nian's tired face. Although he didn't know what happened, he thought it wouldn't be simple, so he stopped disturbing Xu Nian's rest and started driving seriously.

Until the evening, she followed the navigation to the foot of a mountain, and then woke Xu Nian from her sleep in confusion.

"Xu Nian, we're here."

Xu Nian slowly opened his eyes and stretched. He looked out through the window for a few times and said in surprise: "What mountain is this?"

"I don't know. I only know that there is a small city called Huangcheng nearby. Although the economic development is relatively backward, it is not next to the city wall like our Rongcheng, so it is considered comfortable."

"Is that so!"

Xu Nian thought about it, got out of the car, and was about to say something when he saw Zuo Qiuyue waving at him in the driver's seat, and then immediately drove away from his sight.

Xu Nian opened his mouth, but finally shook his head helplessly and walked towards the mountain road alone.

Lonely brave man, lonely brave man, now it seems that he really deserves the name!

Since he didn't know where the crouching shadow was waiting for him, he didn't care. With the attitude of browsing the scenery, he chose to go up the mountain alone.

The mountain at this time was not as lively as the scenic viewing area before the disaster. Although there was no erosion of mysterious energy inside the city wall, everything here had undergone unimaginable changes before the city wall was built, so the previous scene of crowds of people was completely gone. Xu Nian did not find even one person all the way.

He was relaxed, walking towards the top of the mountain alone.

Suddenly, he paused and squinted at a monkey standing on a step. For a moment, he even forgot to take out the rattle in his pocket.

The monkey in front of him was not the naughty mountain monkey before the disaster. At this moment, what appeared in front of Xu Nian was an upright monkey that was as tall as an adult, standing upright, holding a wooden stick.

The most terrifying thing was the wisdom in the eyes of this upright monkey, which shocked Xu Nian so much that he could not speak.

Is this an alien creature?

Xu Nian did not act rashly, but just slightly moved his right hand closer to the pocket where the rattle was placed.

The upright monkey also did not move. It was unknown whether it was observing Xu Nian or what. Anyway, after staring at Xu Nian for a while, it suddenly howled a few times.

The leaves of the forest rustled, and then, one after another, upright monkeys rushed out of the forest holding various weapons.

These upright monkeys were about the same height as the one just now. Some held sticks, some held knives, and even some held guns.

That's right, they were rifles used by the army in the past, not long guns of cold weapons.

Xu Nian was simply amazed. He counted them roughly and found that there were at least 20 to 30 monkeys, and each of them seemed to have wisdom. After surrounding him, they did not attack immediately, but waited silently.

Xu Nian seemed to understand something. He looked outside the encirclement and saw a tall monkey at least twice as big as the surrounding upright monkeys carrying a big axe and walking down the mountain with a tiger skin.

That's right!

It walked down!

It was no different from humans.

The upright monkeys around saw this and respectfully made way for the tall monkey like soldiers welcoming a marshal.

Xu Nian took a breath and looked at the monkey. He immediately felt a strong mental pressure.

He was shocked and hurriedly moved the mental power in his body to his eyes. Only then did he resist the power and looked over again with a blank face.

He had already seen that this tall monkey with an axe in his hand was probably the king of this group of monkeys.

The tall monkey walked slowly to Xu Nian, looked at Xu Nian for a while, and said in a muffled voice: "Human, why do you want to enter my territory?"

"Can you speak?"

The tall monkey's eyes flashed, and continued: "Human, no matter what your purpose is here, I give you two choices, either leave here or die!"

Xu Nian took a breath and grinned: "What if I don't choose either?"
