As the new king appeared, the monkeys all followed the new king and left the forest glade where the blood of the new king was flowing just now.
Even the old monkeys who had accompanied the old king for more than ten years did not violate the survival rules of the monkey group at this time.
The old king, who had been abandoned by all his people, although his eyes were full of loneliness and unwillingness, he just watched the monkeys go away quietly without making a sound.
"It's also your child. Your child has replaced you as the king of the monkeys. What are you unwilling to do?"
"Can't you survive without the monkeys?"
"Have you forgotten how you lived before you became the king of the monkeys?"
Zhou Chun looked at the diamond monkey on the ground who was extremely lonely due to failure, and asked a series of questions in a low tone.
He was using the bestiality language of apes, so he wasn't afraid that the monkeys wouldn't understand.
After hearing what he said, the diamond monkey also reacted quickly.
I saw his eyes turning, with a look of vague memories appearing in them, as if some dusty memories were awakened by Zhou Chun's words.
Then it looked at the human in front of it.
Although more than ten years have passed, Zhou Chun's face has become much younger after building the foundation, and it is still almost the same as when he met the Diamond Monkey at the beginning of the year.
Therefore, the monkey recognized him at once by recalling the past.
Of course it has always recognized Zhou Zhengyong.
After recognizing Zhou Chun at this time, he remembered that Zhou Chun had just saved him from his son.
There was also a hint of gratitude in the eyes of the diamond monkey.
It suddenly stood up, knelt down on the ground towards Zhou Chun, and kowtowed to Zhou Chun respectfully.
At the same time, he shouted: "Thank you for your previous rescue. I owe you a life. Please let me follow you in the future to repay your kindness!"
"Oh, are you willing to be my spiritual pet?"
Zhou Chun looked at the diamond monkey with a surprised expression. It was hard to believe that this monkey, who was used to being free, would be willing to take the initiative to end such a restraint.
"It's not a spiritual pet, it's just following you to fight for you!"
Diamond Monkey shook his head slightly and corrected Zhou Chun's statement.
It has led the monkeys in the Zhou Family Animal Park for so many years and has seen many newly born monkeys being taken away by Zhou Zhengyong. Of course, it understands what spiritual pets mean.
And just as Zhou Chun thought, how could it be willing to take the initiative to become a human spiritual pet if it was used to being free?
"Then forget it. With your current strength, following me will only be a drag."
Zhou Chun waved his hand and lost interest in an instant.
In fact, even if the diamond monkey is willing to be his spiritual pet, he still has to consider whether to accept it.
After all, he is now a foundation-building monk and the deputy patriarch of the Zhou family. For the third spiritual pet, he can choose an intermediate monster or even a high-level monster!
If he chooses a low-level monster like the Diamond Monkey, he will have to spend more time looking for spiritual objects for its breakthrough evolution.
It seemed that he did not expect that he would refuse with such a reason, and King Kong Monkey was stunned for a moment.
Then his eyes suddenly showed an extremely dark look.
Sure enough, once he loses his position as the monkey king, not only will the monkeys leave him, but even these humans will consider him a loser and look down on him!
With this thought in its mind, it felt that the life of a monkey was no longer interesting, and there was nothing left to commemorate!
Of course, this change in emotion cannot be hidden from Zhou Chun's eyes.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Chun thought for a while, then looked at it and said: "Although you can't provide me with any help in combat, if you are willing, you can guard the cave for me in the future, and I will also give you some help.
"
"What does guarding the cave mean?"
The diamond monkey looked at Zhou Chun with doubtful eyes, not knowing what he meant.
"You can understand it as helping me guard my territory!"
Zhou Chun explained in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, the Vajra Monkey immediately nodded in understanding and said, "Okay, then I will guard the cave for you from now on."
After one person and one monkey reached an agreement, Zhou Chun first sent the Diamond Monkey to Feishifeng and asked the [Aoki Spirit Monkey] to train him.
After the training was complete, he took the monkey back to Pagoda Peak to guard the Zhongping Hall, which was like finding him another job with food and accommodation included.
When Zhou Chun came down from Feishifeng and returned to the Monkey Park, the new king, the Scarlet Flame Diamond Monkey, was already having a celebration banquet with the monkeys.
The wound on its left face was still wrapped with a bandage, but that didn't affect its happy mood at all.
He was surrounded by a group of monkeys in the center. On each side, there was a female monkey with shiny fur grooming him and catching insects. The other demon monkeys gathered berries and food and presented them to the new king.
At this time, you can see the status of the monkeys in the monkey group.
Those monster monkeys that offer food and are devoured by the Red Flame Vajra Monkey can sit down close to it and then enjoy the excess food on site.
Those demon monkeys who offered food but the Red Flame Diamond Monkey only tasted it briefly and then threw it away could only pick up the thrown food secretly and sit down on the edge.
After offering the food, the red flame Vajra Monkey showed no interest in even tasting it. Instead, it knelt on the ground with frightened eyes and begged the Crimson Flame Vajra Monkey for mercy.
These monster monkeys either had a grudge against the Scarlet Flame Vajra Monkey before, or they were loyal subordinates of the old monkey king, and the Crimson Flame Vajra Monkey did not like them.
If they were in the wild, the Red Flame Diamond Monkeys would drive them away from the monkey group even if they did not kill them at this time.
But since these monster monkeys are the property of the Zhou family, Zhou Zhengyong will naturally not let them be lost for no reason.
Therefore, with Zhou Zhengyong's intervention, the Scarlet Flame Diamond Monkey did not drive these monster monkeys away in the end, but only reduced their status to the lowest, requiring the most labor in the monkey group and having no mating rights.
"Brother Yong, look at this red flame diamond monkey, when he becomes the monkey queen, when can he mate with the female monkey?"
In the distance, while Zhou Chun was watching the celebration banquet held by the monkeys for the new king, he also asked Zhou Zhengyong beside him about the important matter of the reproduction of the monkeys.
When Zhou Zhengyong heard what he said, he immediately replied: "It should be soon. You see, it is letting the female monkey sit next to her to comb her fur and catch insects, which means that he is already interested in the female monkey."
After that, he added: "Let me observe it for a few more days. If it doesn't act, I will try it with some drugs."
"It's best to let it mate with the female monkey on its own. After so many years of waiting, we don't miss the last bit of time."
Zhou Chun shook his head slightly, indicating that there was no need to use drugs.
Drugs used to arouse the arousal of monsters are usually used on mature monsters that are not in estrus.
No one knows whether the Red Flame Diamond Monkey has reached its maturity stage. If drugs are used to force it to go into heat and mate with the female monkey, even if the female monkey does get pregnant, the fetus may have certain blood defects.
If this kind of thing really happens, it will cause losses to the family.
"Okay, I understand."
Zhou Zhengyong responded and wrote down the matter.
At this time, Zhou Chun seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly said: "By the way, nephew Xinlan should be involved in spiritual practice now, right? Brother Yong, you should be more careful about this. It's best to let your sister-in-law give you more advice.
Let him enter the Tao as soon as possible."
Hearing what he said, Zhou Zhengyong immediately laughed and said: "You don't need to tell me, Thirteenth Brother, his mother cares more about it than anyone else!"
Then he looked at Zhou Chun with some curiosity and asked, "But Thirteenth Brother, you have so many things to worry about every day, why do you suddenly talk about this?"
"If the Crimson Flame Vajra Monkey can really reproduce and breed, and nephew Xinlan can enter Taoism and practice before the second Crimson Flame Vajra Monkey is born, Brother Yong, as long as you do some good family deeds, I will be sure to help you let him
His contract is the first spiritual pet!"
Zhou Chun didn't shy away from anything and directly stated his plan.
"Thirteenth brother, you..."
Zhou Zhengyong looked at Zhou Chun with his mouth slightly open, his eyes full of emotion.
As a father and the manager of the monkey park, he did not dare to think about this matter.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Chun would take the initiative to help him worry about this matter, which made him extremely moved.
"Brother Yong, you don't need to say anything. Although I am doing this because of our friendship, it is also because nephew Xinlan has good qualifications and good conditions. He fully meets the requirements of the Red Flame Diamond Monkey Contract."
Zhou Chun waved his hand, indicating to Zhou Zhengyong that there was no need to say more words of thanks, and he directly stated the reason.
Then he waved his hand and said: "In short, whether this matter can be accomplished depends on whether the Red Flame Diamond Monkey can successfully reproduce the population, and secondly, nephew Xinlan himself must strive for success and enter the Tao as soon as possible!"
"I understand, I will supervise these two things with all my strength, and I will not let my thirteenth brother, your hard work go in vain!"
Zhou Zhengyong nodded solemnly and kept this gratitude in his heart.
After parting ways with Zhou Zhengyong, Zhou Chun even took a special look at the fragrant musk deer he brought back.
As the most precious free-range monster in the animal garden and even the Zhou family, the fragrant musk deer has set aside a separate habitat and arranged for special personnel to monitor it.
Its habitat is not only stocked with many snakes and insects that like to eat, but also a dozen common female musk deer that the Zhou family caught from various places.
It's just that although drugs have been used to aphrodisiac, and the fragrant musk deer has been mated with ordinary musk deer many times, no female musk deer has been able to conceive a musk deer so far.
However, mating between monster beasts and ordinary beasts is a matter of luck, so we can only keep trying.
Anyway, what is certain is that there is no reproductive isolation between monsters and beasts of the same kind!
After Zhou Chun inspected the place and saw that Xiang Lingshe's living conditions were fine, he left with peace of mind.
A few days later, Zhou Chun received news from Zhou Zhengyong that the Red Flame Diamond Monkey had begun to mate with the female monkey. The Beast Hall was also following up on the matter and would report relevant information in a timely manner.
The plan for capturing female wild deer from Lu Park was also quickly submitted. After Zhou Chun saw that it was OK, he called it to the Foreign Affairs Hall and was picked up by members of the Zhou family or some licensed cultivators.
That's right, the Zhou family has now begun to allow some casual cultivators who have gained the trust of the Zhou family to take over tasks from the Foreign Affairs Hall.
These are mainly some low-paying outing tasks that the Zhou family monks may not want to take, and forcibly assigning them will easily cause complaints from the clan members.
So Zhou Chun created a white list of casual cultivators. As long as the casual cultivators on the white list can accept some tasks from the Zhou Family Foreign Affairs Hall.
For those casual cultivators, as long as they can earn spiritual coins without any danger, the fatigue and hardship are nothing.
Things like capturing ordinary beasts, which require a lot of time but are low-reward, are looked down upon by the monks of the Zhou family, but in their eyes, it is a very good task.
Time is not valuable to them, but cultivation costs money!
So they are most willing to do something that is extremely difficult and can earn spiritual coins.
After all the internal reforms of the Zhou family were carried out in an orderly manner, Zhou Chun began to work on another important matter.
That was the secret deal with Lin Hongyu, the red dragon protector of Hualong Cult.
This matter attaches great importance to confidentiality and cannot allow ordinary tribesmen to participate. Many aspects can only be done by Zhou Chun himself.
For example, find the location of the confirmed transaction, determine the approximate time of the transaction, and the object to be arrested, etc.
For almost a month or two, Zhou Chun was busy with this matter.
After such a busy time, he felt that it was almost done, so he personally sent the transaction time and location to the other party according to the contact information Lin Hongyu had left.
Then when the time was almost up, the third elder of the Zhou family, Zhou Daoquan, secretly took the [Aoki Spirit Ape] and left Jiufeng Ridge.
…
Red Rock Mountains.
On a mountain peak more than a hundred miles northwest of Hongyafang City, three bandit cultivators were hiding among the treetops and grass, waiting for the "destined person" to pass by.
Those who work as bandit cultivators can endure loneliness.
Sometimes they can stay in the wild for ten days and a half.
If it doesn't open for three years, it will last for three years if it opens.
This is the most typical portrayal of the life of a bandit cultivator.
Sometimes once the order is done, you can really practice without going out for a year or two.
At this time, the three bandit cultivators on the mountain peak have been squatting for four or five days, but they have never encountered anyone passing by the mountain.
But they were all very patient and no one complained about it.
But while they were patiently waiting for their prey to appear, they did not realize that they had become prey in the eyes of others.
Um?
Suddenly, a bandit cultivator on the tree seemed to notice some movement and hurriedly opened his eyes to look where the movement came from.
Soon he saw a green-haired giant ape walking up from the mountain.
Seeing that it was a monster, a look of disappointment flashed in the bandit cultivator's eyes, but he still reminded his companions who were squatting nearby to be alert.
But just when several bandit cultivators were still hesitating whether to attack a monster beast, several green auras suddenly flew from a short distance and quickly turned into thorns and vines to tie them up.
"It's a second-level monster!"
A bandit cultivator let out an unbelievable exclamation.
Then, before they could struggle, they were already dizzy and began to fall asleep under the influence of the thorn toxin that pierced their skin.
When they closed their eyes, they only saw a green-haired giant ape walking up to them with cold eyes and lifting them up.
In this way, Zhou Daoquan, who was in the late stage of foundation building, conducted a reconnaissance search, and then marked the location for [Aoki Spirit Ape] to arrest him.
It took less than three days for all ten bandit cultivators to be caught and transferred to a special place for detention.
For the sake of safety, the final real deal will be handled by Zhou Mingde, the supreme elder of the Zhou family.
