Cheng Han's declaration that "the Spirit Monkey Clan ought to flourish" was like a boulder cast into the water, immediately stirring up fierce undercurrents.
Two days later.
The Water Swamp cleanup project finally neared its end.
In full public view.
A Spirit Monkey named A Dun, who had fortunately advanced to become a Spirit Shepherd, suddenly broke into a fierce argument with Kanda, the young chieftain of his tribe.
"Ah-ao ah-woo..."
"Heh-ah-da-ao..."
Kanda's father was also a Spirit Shepherd, so he did not fear A Dun. Neither side would yield, and their quarrel grew increasingly heated.
The several hundred Fur Monkeys nearby all stopped what they were doing and pricked up their ears to listen.
Luo Jiuling frowned and loudly shouted, "Hey!"
The two Spirit Monkeys stopped arguing only because he was a trusted subordinate of the Venerable One, though they still glared furiously at each other.
Watching this coldly, Luo Jiuling keenly realized just how enormous the gap was between himself and the Grand General Overseer.
An hour later.
The Water Swamp had been cleared.
The waters that had once been covered by dense vegetation had become a rather clear small lake.
Luo Jiuling forcefully swung his arm and ordered, "Ah-ao!"
The Spirit Monkeys immediately took out Wooden Staffs, each one covered in densely carved patterns.
These were the third kind of Spirit Tool Cheng Han had taught them—the Spirit Wood Staff.
Afterward.
A group of Fur Monkeys spread out around the lake's edge, then jumped into the lake with splashes and planted the staffs into the mud at the bottom.
Very soon.
Transcendental Fluctuations surged beneath the water.
Black trees emerged one after another from the surface, shooting past thirty meters in height within barely a dozen seconds, each with a diameter of no less than five meters.
