The monkeys scattered, but Weiwei's lantern-sized eyes remained fixed on the Monkey King fleeing into the jungle. Weiwei charged straight after him, ignoring the others.
This monkey was noticeably larger than the rest and easy to distinguish, but he was also more cowardly.
When the monkeys had scattered earlier, the Monkey King had been the first to turn tail.
The Monkey King was fast, but Weiwei was faster.
Despite that enormous body, Weiwei was anything but slow. Like a bulldozer gone berserk, Weiwei plunged into the jungle, sending countless trees flying.
A few breaths later, Weiwei returned like a victorious general, the dying Monkey King clamped in that gaping maw. With a tail slapping the ground and eyes full of pride, Weiwei swaggered up to Chen Fan and spat the Monkey King out.
"Nicely done."
Chen Fan looked at Weiwei with a smile.
This was precisely why he had brought Weiwei along. An island this large might well have exotic beasts.
Buildings weren't the best way to deal with exotic beasts. They were intelligent; once they sensed danger, they wouldn't charge but would keep their distance instead. Although they posed no immediate threat, leaving them on the island would still mean trouble.
The best way to deal with exotic beasts was to bring along an even stronger one, like Weiwei.
Few exotic beasts could beat Weiwei. Even against one that could, Weiwei only needed to keep the enemy occupied. Once Chen Fan finished constructing his buildings, taking it down would be easy.
Now it seemed that bringing Weiwei had been an exceptionally wise decision.
"Domain Lord..."
Having narrowly escaped death, Zhou Mo and Wang Mazi supported each other as they approached him, gratitude flashing in their eyes. "Thank goodness you arrived in time, Domain Lord. Otherwise, we..."
"It's all right."
