He hurriedly followed the sound and turned several corners until he came upon a group of fiery red little monkeys jumping up and down, relentlessly attacking Liu Zong.
The incessant chittering was deafening as one monkey after another was flung away by Liu Zong's sword, only to get up unharmed and continue their assault.
Chitter!
Suddenly, a sharp scream rang out from behind Lin Xin.
Without looking, he swung his sword backward.
With a swish, the blade pierced through a small monkey and retracted.
Seeing that Liu Zong could still hold on, Lin Xin was not in a hurry. He raised his sword and carefully observed the small monkeys.
The monkeys were only the size of a human head. Despite a blade piercing its skull, one struggled violently. Its entire body was fiery red, and its tail ended with a small bunch of flames.
"Earth Fire Monkey?" Lin Xin, widely read and knowledgeable, recognized the species at a glance.
