"Human, why are you here?!"
A wave of icy words abruptly surfaced in his mind.
His gaze instantly locked onto the beastly figure that had spoken.
They looked somewhat like gorillas, yet they all walked upright on two legs, and their eyes carried an air of intelligence.
The tuft of white fur on their foreheads looked rather comical.
"I was merely passing through. I was greatly astonished when I saw this tree and couldn't resist coming over to take a look," Chen Mo said with a smile.
He showed not the slightest awareness of being surrounded.

This surprised Chen Mo somewhat. If one ignored the other party's appearance, he was practically no different from a human.
Coupled with Supreme Grandmaster-level combat
