In the moment when man and stone monkey locked eyes, the stone monkey's eyes suddenly brightened as if two golden vortexes came to life within them, spewing out copious amounts of light that scattered in all directions.
Shen Luo saw this and felt it odd, but did not take any action, simply quietly observing the changes.
As the golden light spread bit by bit, the originally grayish-white body of the stone monkey seemed to be painted over, slowly tinting with the color of golden fur, gradually becoming lively.
Just then, a sharp "squeak" suddenly sounded, and the stone monkey, with one arm hanging from the tree, shook its body and leaped straight out from the stone wall, pouncing towards Shen Luo.
Shen Luo, seeing this, remained calm and composed, slightly circulated his mana and raised his hand to block in front of himself.
