Let's start by analyzing the sun

"Whoosh!"

The slightly chilly morning breeze swiftly swept through the forest.

Vines stretched between the giant trees, swaying gently.

These vines, generally over four meters in diameter, served as roads through the forest.

Or rather—vine roads.

However.

Luo Jiuling knew that although the vines appeared heavy, they were actually much lighter than expected.

This was because the vines had a hollow structure, made up of many thinner vines intertwined.

This Xuan warrior, lucky to have survived, stood on a branch more than twenty meters thick, gazing at the boundless forest sea, and sighed silently.

Having arrived in the Senluo Realm for nearly a month, Luo Jiuling had gained a general understanding of the basic situation here.

For example.

The weather in this realm was very strange.

It almost never rained during the day, but at night there would be torrential rain, often lasting the entire night, only stopping at dawn.

Another example.

The environment in this realm was also very strange.

Beneath the towering forest, there were boundless water marshes everywhere.

There were no fish in the vast water marshes, only various kinds of hideous and terrifying water insects, in numbers too great to count.

A race called the "Spirit Monkey Clan" mainly lived in the canopy layer.

At night.

Many ferocious water insects would emerge from the water marshes, climbing up the tree trunks to hunt the Spirit Monkey Clan.

During the day.

Some Spirit Monkey Clan members would also descend to the surface of the water marshes to hunt some of the better-fleshed water insects for food.

In short.

The Spirit Monkey Clan and the Water Insect Clan were mortal enemies, having loved and killed each other for countless years.

After a few seconds.

"Awoo ah~"

A strange sound suddenly came from below.

It was the cry of the Spirit Monkey Clan.

Luo Jiuling immediately took out a wooden mask, put it on his face, and responded in a strange tone: "Awoo ah!"

By the way.

This Xuan warrior had personally witnessed General Du, in just three short days, decipher the language of the Spirit Monkey Clan, and even create a mark to understand the Spirit Monkey language.

The reason he could understand this "Awoo ah" was thanks to the help of the mark.

Subsequently.

General Du first tried to make contact with a Spirit Monkey tribe, and then used various means to successfully gain the tribe's respect.

To this.

Luo Jiuling admired him to the extreme.

This Xuan warrior thought to himself that if he had been stranded in the Senluo Realm alone, he would probably still be struggling to survive, and would definitely not be able to live so comfortably.

Soon.

"Awoo ah!"

"Awoo ah!"

The cries grew closer and closer.

More than a dozen furry fellows suddenly jumped up from below, appearing in front of Luo Jiuling.

It was the Spirit Monkey Clan.

They were generally around two meters tall, with tails about the same length as their height, and wore black wooden armor, covering their vital parts.

They also had a less noticeable but very important feature.

That was—the fur on their hands and feet was significantly thicker than on other parts of their bodies, and the color was also different.

Luo Jiuling had heard General Du's explanation, knowing that this was a very special "sticky fur" that could easily adhere to the surface of objects.

The Spirit Monkey Clan could survive in the canopy layer and move freely through the giant tree forest, and these sticky hairs played an irreplaceable role.

"Woo hoo!"

The leading Spirit Monkey greeted him.

"Woo hoo!"

Luo Jiuling slightly straightened his chest and responded in a low voice.

This Spirit Monkey was much more robust than the other members of his clan, and the black wooden armor he wore had exquisite patterns carved on its surface.

Just from this appearance, it could be judged that he obviously had a higher status in the clan.

Luo Jiuling knew that the other party's name was "Kanda", the eldest son of the Spirit Monkey tribe's chief, and also the future chief.

Using the Wanhao Clan's standards to evaluate.

Kanda's strength was far stronger than a warrior, only a line away from a Xuan warrior, and in the environment of the Senluo Realm, it was difficult for an ordinary Xuan warrior to defeat him.

At this time.

Kanda turned around and looked at his clan, waving his arm forcefully, his tone with a hint of command: "Awoo ho awoo!"

Several Spirit Monkeys quickly took off the baskets on their backs, quickly placed them in front of Luo Jiuling, and then opened the basket lids.

Luo Jiuling nodded to Kanda and hammered his chest: "Awoo ho!"

This word meant—thank you.

Kanda's furry face showed a smile, and he waved his claws: "Awoo ho a!"

Meaning—you're welcome!

Luo Jiuling glanced at the baskets again, and immediately saw all kinds of melons and fruits, as well as some items wrapped in leaves.

He knew very well that this was the meat of the water insects.

And these things were the offerings of the Spirit Monkey tribe.

General Du had given the tribe a lot of help, and the monkeys would send some food every two days to express their respect.

"Gulp~"

Many Spirit Monkeys peeked at the baskets, swallowing their saliva.

The Senluo Realm did not have abundant products, and these were the best ingredients, which even the patriarch could not enjoy every day.

When these furry fellows saw them, of course they would drool.

Kanda's expression became a little humble: "May I ask if the Venerable One has any teachings?"

The "Venerable One" in this sentence naturally refers to General Du.

Luo Jiuling spoke in broken Spirit Monkey language, stumbling and saying: "The Venerable One foresaw yesterday that two souls of your tribe have passed away."

Kanda's expression suddenly changed, and a monkey face showed obvious surprise, even a monkey tail unconsciously swayed.

The rest of the Spirit Monkeys also appeared in a commotion.

Luo Jiuling watched this scene, and his admiration for General Du increased.

Kanda swung his tail and his tone became a little low: "The Venerable One is right, last night a gathering point of my clan was attacked by water insects, and two Spirit Monkeys died of poisoning."

Many of the water insects in the swamp have extremely violent toxicity, and being bitten is a complete death sentence.

Luo Jiuling pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The Venerable One said that if the heads of the poisoned are brought back as soon as possible, perhaps he can find a way to save them."

As soon as these words came out.

All the Spirit Monkeys were shocked.

The Spirit Monkeys have a strong vitality, and even if their heads are cut off, they can live for a while, but they will eventually die.

What the Xuan warrior said really subverted their understanding.

Luo Jiuling did not keep them in suspense, and gave a rough explanation: "The Venerable One has a way to implant the head into another Spirit Monkey to maintain life.

"This way, the Venerable One will have enough time to study and cultivate the body, and then implant the head back to completely restore it."

A group of Spirit Monkeys were almost dumbfounded.

Such incredible means were really beyond their imagination.

Luo Jiuling paused and added: "This is the 'Head Transplant Rebirth Technique' envisioned by the Venerable One, and the Venerable One said that he has more than 90% certainty of researching it."

"Bang! Bang!"

Kanda hammered his chest twice, his big monkey eyes full of excitement.

He knelt on one knee with a "pa", and his attitude became more respectful: "I understand! Please express my clan's gratitude to the Venerable One!"

This guy was not stupid, naturally knowing that if the head transplant rebirth technique was successfully researched, many Spirit Monkeys destined to die would have the opportunity to survive, thereby making the clan stronger.

In a word.

This was a secret technique that could change the fate of the clan, and no matter how high it was valued, it was not an overestimation.

The two sides exchanged for a while.

Kanda respectfully saluted and left with his clan.

Luo Jiuling knew that he was benefiting from General Du's light, and Kanda would show respect to him.

He watched the Spirit Monkeys leave, looked at the green sky, and murmured in a low voice: "I always feel that General Du's sudden launch of the head transplant rebirth technique seems to have ulterior motives."

This Xuan warrior had been staying by General Du's side every day recently, and under the influence of what he saw and heard, he had a very deep understanding of General Du's methods.

Many of General Du's actions, which seemed to be unintentional at first, later made people feel amazing when they looked back.

All of this.

Really made Luo Jiuling admire him to the point where he couldn't admire him anymore.

No wonder in the Youmiao Realm, General Du led the war zone to fight one brilliant victory after another.
