"Shan Zaizai, my goodness! Hurry, why would you go to the base of the Stinky Fruit Tree? Get back quickly!"
Ge Ye and his two companions traced Ji Nuan's scent and found her beneath the Stinky Fruit Tree, eating Stinky Fruits. They blanched with fright.
Upon hearing their voices, Ji Nuan turned around and cheerfully waved her fruit at Ge Ye.
But to her surprise, Ge Ye was pointing behind her with a horrified expression, screaming at her to run.
Reflexively, Ji Nuan looked back and met a pair of ominous blood-colored eyes. A beastly ape, taller and sturdier than her, was charging at her with flailing limbs.
Even more of these apes were crowding the tree behind her, their red eyes glaring menacingly and their screams echoing in the air.
Their rough, black fur rippled as they sprinted, and saliva dripped onto the undergrowth below from the corners of their mouths. Their shining white sharp teeth glinted coldly in the sporadic slays of sunlight.
