Stone Monkey Finds a Home

About half an hour later, A Shui and the Stone Monkey's hands were full of peaches.

"Come on, I'll take you back to our home."

A Shui spoke to the Stone Monkey, and then walked ahead to lead the way.

Upon hearing this, the Stone Monkey quickly followed.

After another hour and a half of trekking, A Shui and the Stone Monkey returned to their tribe safely, carrying the peaches.

"Have you seen where our clan chief is?"

Upon arriving here, A Shui immediately grabbed a tribesman and asked him for the tribesman's current location.

"The chieftain is at his house; I just came from there."

The captured tribesman immediately answered A Shui's question.

"Let's go. I'll take you to see the chieftain now and ask him to allow you to join our tribe."

Upon hearing the answer, A Shui quickly pulled the Stone Monkey along and said...

He didn't ask any further questions afterward, letting A Shui pull him towards the clan chief's house.

"Chieftain, Chieftain, are you there? I have something to report to you."

Upon arriving at the cave where the chieftain resided, A Shui immediately called out to him.

"I'm here, A Shui, what's up? Why are you in such a hurry?"

The clan chief, still somewhat impatient with the situation, said...

"Chief, look, when I went out to find food today, I unexpectedly found a little monkey."

"I asked him if he had any family, and he told me he popped out of a rock. Look how pitiful he is, he knows nothing, he must have been abandoned by his parents."

He pointed at the Stone Monkey, wiped away his tears, and said, his voice trembling with emotion.

"Greetings, Chieftain."

Afterwards, he timidly uttered those three words.

"Okay, okay, you're okay too."

After hearing A Shui's story, the team leader was deeply moved. It was so pitiful that he was abandoned by his parents at such a young age.

"From this day forward, you are a member of our community. From this day forward, we are all your family."

At this moment, the clan chief grasped the hand of the person who had just left and said...

I have a family now.

After hearing what the team leader said, she immediately hugged him and excitedly shouted, her voice filled with excitement but also revealing some uncertainty.

"Yes, yes, we are all your family."

The clan chief patted him on the back and said.

Afterwards, Zhizhu settled down in this big family, going out to pick fruit with A Shui every day, and playing with the other little monkeys in the group in his spare time, living a carefree life.

The cold winters and hot summers, autumns and springs, more than a decade has passed in the blink of an eye. The child I was back then has now grown up.

Because of its Numinous Stone Monkey nature, its physical attributes far surpass those of other monkeys. Its strength is almost comparable to that of a black bear in the mountains, but its agility is far superior to that of a black bear.

During a previous fruit-picking trip, A Shui was accidentally pounced on by a black bear hiding in the bushes. Fortunately, Stone Monkey was following behind him. Upon seeing A Shui being pounced on, Shi Hou immediately rushed over and kicked away the black bear that was trying to bite off A Shui's neck.

"You'd better get back to your pack as soon as possible; I can shake off this black bear."

After saying this to A Shui, the Stone Monkey immediately charged towards the black bear.

A Shui had no other choice but to run towards the direction of the tribe.

Because of the Numinous Stone Monkey's physique, his kick made the black bear dizzy and disoriented. It took him a while to find the culprit who had ambushed him.

Then the black bear ran up to the Stone Monkey and leaped up, trying to pounce on him. But what happened next left the monkey completely dumbfounded. The bear caught the monkey's paws with its own arms, even forcing the monkey to take several steps back. Keep in mind, this was a black bear, three or four times the size of an ordinary monkey, not to mention its strength.

An ordinary monkey would be shattered if it were to be struck by his palm, even if it didn't die. However, the monkey in front of him was able to respond to his double palm strikes after he jumped up, and instead of retreating a single step, it flipped itself back.

The black bear seemed unconvinced, then roared and charged at Shi again.

However, the Stone Monkey nimbly dodged the attack, then grabbed his fur and mounted him on his back, before beginning to punch him repeatedly in the head.

The black bear, in pain, jumped and hopped, trying to throw the bear off its back. However, in the process of jumping, the bear reacted quickly, grabbed a large rock, and smashed it down on the bear's head.

The first blow left the black bear dizzy and weak, almost collapsing. But before he could recover, the Stone Monkey struck him a second time, this time smashing his head open and drawing blood everywhere.

Immediately afterwards, he struck the bear a third and fourth time. Blood flowed continuously from the bear's head, and its skull began to deform. At this point, the bear was completely powerless, collapsed to the ground, and weakly begged for mercy, hoping that the time would let it go.

But things didn't go as he wished. Not long ago, this black bear ate one of his tribesmen. When he first joined the tribe, that tribesman, A Shui, took care of him in every way, but unfortunately, he was eaten by this black bear. Today, he will avenge his dead tribesman.

Then the Stone Monkey smashed the bear a fifth and a sixth time, a total of ten times. The black bear was already dead; its head was completely twisted, and all the contents of its brain had spilled out, making it utterly disgusting.

"Stone Monkey, where are you?"

A Shui's voice came from afar.

It turned out that while fleeing, someone realized that even they couldn't handle the black bear, let alone the Stone Monkey, which was smaller than them. How could they possibly withstand it?

So he wanted to come back and see if the Stone Monkey had escaped safely. If he had, then everyone would be happy; if not, then he would die with the Stone Monkey.

He returned here with a heavy heart, and what he saw next, though disgusting, made him incredibly happy.

The Stone Monkey was riding on the black bear's neck, smashing its head with stones. The black bear was already dead, but the monkey continued to smash its head tirelessly afterward.

"Stone Monkey, stop right now, he's completely dead."

"If you keep smashing it like that, the smell of blood will attract other black bears. I see you're tired too, let's hurry up and leave, and eat something to replenish our energy."

Knowing the profound meaning behind it, A Shui quickly circled the Stone Monkey.

"Eat something?"

Upon hearing those three words, the Stone Monkey snapped out of his daze and immediately dropped the blood-stained stone in his hand, walking towards A Shui.

"Let's go, let's go! I'm starving after A Shui killed that black bear."

The Stone Monkey hurriedly urged A Shui to take him to find food.
