Chapter 25
First Battle

In the primeval forest, A Bao was throwing a little tantrum because he couldn't find a wooden stump.

He was forcefully slapping the nearby trees, causing them to shake violently.

Suddenly, a series of cries came from above.

“Zhi zhi....”

In the next moment, a rain of fruits came crashing down on A Bao from above.

A Bao was stunned by the impact.

The viewers in the live stream were equally bewildered.

In unison, everyone looked up at the trees.

Then they gasped in surprise.

“What the hell! Monkeys? So many monkeys? Damn! And they're golden monkeys!”

“My goodness! So many wild golden monkeys! Their fur is so beautiful!”

“Wait, why are the golden monkeys throwing fruits at A Bao? Is this some kind of greeting between animals?”

“What kind of greeting is this! Clearly, A Bao has provoked them! He threw a fit and slapped the tree, scaring the golden monkeys!”

“What the hell! Is A Bao's first battle not against the leopard but against the golden monkeys?”

“Get fired up! A Bao, this group of mischievous monkeys dares to throw fruits at you, shouldn't you give them a body slam?”

“They have no respect for A Bao! You have to take them down! A Bao, can you tolerate this? I can't!”

“No problem! If we can't take down the leopard, we can at least have some fun with the golden monkeys; they all have 'gold' in their name, so they must be somewhat related!”

“Fight! Fight! It's on, A Bao vs. golden monkeys, both are national first-class protected animals, neither is more precious than the other!”

“I'm definitely betting on A Bao to win this round; he beat a pack of wolves, so why worry about a bunch of mischievous monkeys?”

...

A Bao, stunned by the fruit barrage.

Coming back to his senses, he raised his fluffy head and looked up at the trees.

Then he noticed a large group of golden monkeys chattering away in the branches.

While they chattered, they continued to throw fruits at him.

There was nothing he could do; after all, he had provoked them.

A Bao was already in a bad mood for not finding a wooden stump, and now he was being bombarded by golden monkeys.

Although his tough skin and thick flesh didn't feel pain, he was even angrier.

He began to slap the trees even harder.

This only made the golden monkeys angrier.

A new round of fruit rain came crashing down.

Some golden monkeys even climbed down to pick up stones and throw them at A Bao.

A Bao's temper flared, and he wanted to fight back.

After all, having beaten the wolf pack, A Bao was feeling incredibly confident.

However, the golden monkeys were not that foolish.

Seeing A Bao charging at them, they quickly climbed up the trees, and another round of fruit rain came pouring down.

A Bao wanted to climb the tree to chase after them, but it was of no use.

Because the golden monkeys were too agile.

They could easily jump from one tree to another.

A Bao had no way to retaliate and could only passively endure the hits.

Although it didn't hurt, it was infuriating!

Frustrated, A Bao rolled around on the ground, but there was nothing he could do.

The viewers in the live stream were collectively dumbfounded.

“What the hell!? A Bao is being completely dominated? Are you kidding me?”

“It's not surprising! Historically, ground-to-air battles have always been at a disadvantage! No matter how good A Bao's body slam is, the golden monkeys won't fight him head-on!”

“A Bao, full of ambition, set out for his first battle, originally intending to take on the leopard, but ended up getting pelted by golden monkeys!?”

“This is hilarious! Just as he sets out, he gets beaten up; what a wasted effort!”

“Haha, this is unexpectedly funny! If he can't even beat the golden monkeys, how can he take on the leopard? The leopard is even more agile than the monkeys!”

“Leopard: Hearing that you set out, I ran away overnight! Damn, are you telling me you can't even beat a monkey? Was my escape in vain?”

“To be fair! Analyzing the situation, A Bao really can't beat the leopard! His agility just doesn't match up!”

“Leopard: From now on, please call me Leopard Bro! Thank you! Little brother, I heard you're coming for me? Quite ambitious, huh?”

“At this rate, A Bao's vendetta will have to wait!”

“Stay calm, don't panic! A Bao, maybe you shouldn't set out just yet! Go back and find your master, learn some skills to increase your agility, then come out again!”

......

A Bao, on the ground, faced with the golden monkeys' aerial assault, had no way to retaliate.

He could only passively endure the hits.

No matter how angry he got, it was useless because the golden monkeys wouldn't engage him in a direct fight.

Later, under the command of the monkey king, the golden monkeys didn't even come down; they just stayed in the trees and continued their aerial assault on A Bao.

This left A Bao feeling utterly wronged.

This was a completely unequal fight.

There was nothing he could do; ground-to-air battles were just too difficult to win.

Although A Bao could climb trees and reach great heights.

Unfortunately, his opponents were golden monkeys!

They were the kings of the trees!

Climbing, jumping, and incredibly agile!

And there were so many of them, plus the monkey king coordinating everything!

The intelligence of the golden monkeys was not low, especially that of the monkey king.

Seeing the commotion A Bao was causing by slapping the trees, he realized A Bao was incredibly strong.

So the monkey king commanded all the monkeys not to confront A Bao directly but to carry out aerial attacks instead.

This decision left A Bao with no choice but to take the hits.

In the end, A Bao could only run away.

Unable to hit back, he had no choice but to flee; he couldn't just stand there and take the hits.

The group of golden monkeys chased A Bao for quite a distance before finally letting him go.

A Bao's first outing ended with him being sent back home!

In the evening, Lin Fan returned.

As soon as he got back, A Bao climbed over and hugged Lin Fan's leg with a pitiful expression.
