Chapter 6 - 6. Unknown Beast vs Four Tail Monkey

The beast sensed the descending Advay. She didn't do anything as of now, but gently lifted her egg to bring it back to the cave.

Her expression is that of confusion but became serious when she entered the space, below the cave, she was unable to sense any energy around her and all the minerals had become dim. She also found the disgusting aura of the human inside here.

She understood that it had to do something with the human and it also explains how her egg was outside the cave. When she came to this conclusion, her body shimmered with rage, as to how a puny human dare steal her unborn child and even touch her child's food.

She decided to give chase to punish, as well as recover the energy taken from here. She kept her egg inside the space and came out of the cave. After looking around, the beast picked up a boulder to cover the entrance. She had not done so previously as there is no animal who would dare to enter a beast's lair. She was about to chase after the human when she felt a tremor going underneath the forest.

She was already pissed and when she saw that the tremor was due to awakening of a beast, it got her more irritated. She first decided to take care of the beast then chase after the human. The beast can provide the energy her newborn needed when it will arrive in this world.

All the remaining twin tail monkeys and other animals in the forest had already scurried deep into their home. They had felt the aura of the ruler of this forest awakening from his slumber.

In the deepest part of the forest, a paradise could be seen, filled with waterfalls and exotic plants and trees. In the center of this place grew a huge tree, spread outwards for nearly a kilometer.

There are some higher level animals living in the outskirts of these trees. These animals are now quaking in fear as the king of this forest who was in deep slumber has awakened.

In the middle of the tree, there was a small single branch sprouting out from the trunk. On that trunk, a four tail monkey could be seen hanging down on his tails. The monkey was in deep slumber, when its eyes opened. It looked around for a second, then sensing an aura, it screeched in rage as if something had challenged its pride as a beast as well as the ruler of the area. It started swinging by the trees towards that direction to meet his enemy.

The four tail monkey beast was even smaller than the two tail monkeys. The beast was just one meter tall whereas the two tail monkeys are three meter in height.

The mother beast started moving fast towards the forest. She towers above every beast with a height of six meters. Her body is covered in scales, has claws for hands but the feet of an ape. Her face also resembles that of an ape. She was jumping on her two feet. to reach the forest. From her features it could be seen that she had a little of dragon blood in her.

She crashed into the forest, felling trees as she jumped. She had just entered the forest, when another aura of a beast was felt approaching from an opposite direction.

The beast was the four tail monkey, full white in color with drooping eyebrows. It's eyes were a little muddy. He was definitely an old beast.

The four tail monkey without a warning swiped his tail at that ape when he reached an attacking range. The ape blocked it directly with her body. It seemed like a single attack but by the time the tail had left the ape's body, nearly fifty white marks could be seen on her scale.

Though it didn't hurt the ape at all, it still slowed her momentum down. Angry at being slowed down, it released a roar. The four tail replied her with some sharp slashes, which destroyed her scales on her chest and arm. She responded with a stamp on the ground to jump ahead and reach the monkey quickly.

The four tail monkey was shocked, as it didn't expect the ape to come at him like this with that speed and tried to evade but it was slow by a beat. The ape sliced down with her claws, slashing away two of the monkey's tails. But the monkey did manage to escape.

It screeched in pain at the loss of its tail. It was angry at the ape but there was also a hidden fear in its eyes as the claw has easily sliced his body, drawing blood. It stared at the ape with caution and started having second thoughts about it.

The ape, seeing the four tail's hesitation, didn't want to give it any chance as the monkey is very fast inside the forest and it would definitely escape. Therefore, the ape started attacking fiercely, refusing it any chance to escape. The monkey can only defend itself by evading the attacks.

While the monkey was busy evading the attacks, the ape suddenly sprinted towards the monkey with increased speed as it was evading the attack. By the time, it noticed the ape was upon him, he had been taken by his neck.

The monkey struggled but to no avail as none of its attack managed to seriously injure the ape. The monkey soon stopped struggling. But if one look closely at the monkey's eye, it is seen that it's losing its luster. Its eyes were already muddy but it became muddier as if a cloud has covered the monkey's eyes.

While the ape was strangulating the four tail, a sudden beam was released from the eyes of monkey and passed through the ape's forehead. It was so fast that she was unable to react in time.

The monkey's eyes dimmed. The four tail thought he had escaped as the grip on his throat had loosened, he turned to escape when a foot descended upon his head, smashing it into a minced meat.

The last attack had seriously injured the ape, it had blood falling from its eyes. The beam had not left any visible wound but had done considerable internal damage. But the ape just stood there and roared, announcing its victory. She took the corpse of the four tail with her.

She reached the outskirts of forest and stopped. Her mouth opened and a red ring formed outside her mouth, which was propelled into the forest. Wherever the ring travelled, the trees and animals became ashes. By the time it stopped, it had destroyed half of the forest.

The ape then took the corpse and returned to the cave to dump the corpse for her unborn child. She then left again to go towards the plains as she had decided to kill the human.
