Slash-!


    Blood spurted out like a fountain as the two monkey monsters were decisively laid to rest by Mo Mian’s sword.


    As much as the party members would like to study them further, this was neither the time nor place for that.


    Who knew how much time they had before the other monkeys realised that these two had gone missing?


    After keeping the carcasses away in their spatial items, the group immediately started moving once again.


    This time, however, Chu Han was the one taking the lead.


    He had always been the most observant member of the Mystic Cavalry, so he was naturally the best person to take charge now.

    “Aaahhhh!” the man screamed in horror while desperately holding onto the wooden bars for dear life.


    Splash-!


    The huge wooden cage fell into the stream below, causing water to erupt like a fountain.


    Inside the cage, the man almost had the air knocked out of his lungs as he slammed against the wooden bars upon impact with the water surface.


    Yet no matter how much it hurt, the man simply did not have the luxury of time to slowly nurse his injuries.


    The pain was one thing. But if he did not do anything to help himself now, the only end waiting for him would be drowning in the stream!


    Thankfully, the wooden cage had enough buoyancy to return to the surface of the stream.


    Not just that, but the old monkey on the tree also maintained its grip on the other end of the rope, preventing the huge wooden cage from being washed away by the flow of water.


    However, the problem was that most of the wooden cage remained underwater while only a small portion of it remained above the surface.


    This meant that the man only had that little space to manoeuvre as he desperately tried to keep his head within the little pocket of air accessible within the confines of the cage.


    And in the flowing stream, the cage did not remain stationary.


    Affected by the water flow, the wooden cage kept spinning around on the surface of the water.


    This meant that the man in the cage could not simply hold himself close against the wooden bars on top, but had to keep shifting around the cage in his continued attempts to locate the only pocket of air accessible to him.


    “N-! O-! H-! elp-!” the man shouted as he tried his best to keep his head above the surface of the water, involuntarily swallowing huge amounts of water in the process.


    </a> As for the man in the cage, he was simply a source of entertainment – existing for the sole purpose of relieving boredom in their mundane lives.
