The Adventure Clan

Mofan and his companions followed the footprints all the way into the heart of the forest. No one knew how long they had been walking, but the forest was extremely vast. Gradually, the sky began to glow with a faint light. Now, everyone was tired, thirsty and hungry.

So, when everyone reached the edge of a lake, Mofan proposed to Uncle Jun and the others, "Let's take a short break here. Let's have something to eat and drink some water here."

After a short rest, everyone continued on their way. As they walked, they came to a place filled with strangely shaped flowers. But Mo Fan suddenly signaled everyone to stop.

Uncle Jun asked, "What's going on?"

Mo Fan replied in a low voice, "Look at the footprints on the ground. They are all over the place, deep and shallow. It shows that the people who explored here must have encountered some danger and fled in all directions in a panic. Be quiet and be careful."

So everyone looked around, on high alert. Old Dog looked around but saw nothing but strangely shaped flowers as tall as people. He said, "You're being too paranoid. Are you afraid these strange plants will eat us?"

One of the black-clad men who followed Uncle Jun also teased, "Detective Mo Fan, we are all people who live by the sword. We've seen all kinds of big scenes. Are you too timid and overly cautious?" After that, the group of dark-clad men also burst into laughter.

Just as Uncle Jun was about to signal his men to be quiet, the strange flowers in the flower bed seemed to sense the arrival of people and all turned their heads towards Mo Fan and the others. Suddenly, the center of one of the flowers opened its wide mouth, revealing a tongue and teeth like a human. The black-clad man closest to the flower wasn't paying attention and was immediately swallowed by the flower, leaving only a scream.

Immediately, all the flowers opened their wide mouths and extended their vines to attack everyone. Mo Fan and the others quickly pulled out their guns from their pockets and shot at the man-eating flowers, but it seemed that the guns couldn't kill these carnivorous flowers. Everyone was scattered by the attack of the man-eating flowers, and their lives were in great danger.

At this moment, Qi Tian also showed his talent in combat and shouted loudly, "Everyone, quickly take out the big knives in your bags. It's no use attacking the heads of the flowers. Flowers survive through their roots. We have to cut off their roots to completely eliminate them."

Mo Fan and the others finally realized this and said in unison, "Right." So they all rolled and crawled to avoid the attacks of the man-eating flowers and reached the bottom of the flowers, cutting off their roots with one slash. The man-eating flowers indeed stopped attacking.

Unfortunately, there were just too many man-eating flowers here. No matter how Mo Fan and the others attacked, they couldn't eliminate them all. Old Dog, panting, rolled to Mo Fan's side and said, "Old Mo, if you don't come up with a way, we'll all run out of energy sooner or later and become food for these man-eating flowers."

Mo Fan also looked worriedly at Lin Jing, who was already too weak to move, and replied tiredly, "I know. You letme think about it." Suddenly, Mo Fan saw the river not far ahead and immediately came up with an idea in a moment of panic. He shouted loudly to everyone, "We shouldn't waste our time fighting these cannibal plants. Let's all jump into the river ahead. Only then do we have a chance of survival."

Then everyone started running towards the river. The cannibal plants kept extending their vines and constantly chased after Mo Fan and his group, trying to catch them. Just at the critical moment, everyone also reached the riverbank. Mo Fan shouted loudly, "Everyone jump!"

So, everyone jumped into the river.

However, the current of the river was extremely rapid. Everyone could only constantly hold onto floating logs and branches and other things in the river to maintain their buoyancy. After a while, the river speed gradually slowed down, and everyone finally landed on the shore from one place. Everyone collapsed on the grass on the riverbank, exhausted.

The old dog gasped and self-mockingly said, "Old Mo, from now on, you will be my father. Do whatever I tell you and my words are like iron laws. I won't laugh at you or disobey your orders anymore."

Mo Fan also self-mocked, "Old Dog, you've said this eight hundred times. Come on, you just forgot about today's events after saving your life. You're just not moved by the loss of a life.'"

Everyone heard the conversation of the two and laughed.

Take a moment to tidy up. Then everyone got up and looked around. At this point, there are no longer any directional indications. When everyone was at a loss as to where to go next.

Uncle Jun took out the compass and spoke first, "While we were walking, I was constantly observing the direction indicated by the compass. The footprints that guided us earlier were roughly heading southeast. So, either we should continue in the southeast direction or... What do you all think?"

Mofan replied, "Then everything will be done according to your wishes." So everyone continued to move in the southeast direction.

As they walked along, they came to a place where there were many peach trees. These peach trees were not very tall, about two meters in height, and their shapes were no different from normal peach trees.

Due to the recent battle and the continuous walking, the water they had consumed was almost exhausted. They were both thirsty and tired. Seeing these peach trees full of peaches, everyone's eyes lit up immediately. But everyone seemed to have become cautious. To avoid these peach trees having any strange properties, they all turned to look at Mofan. The old dog asked in a low voice first, "Old Mofan, I don't think the shapes of these peach trees are as strange as the man-eating flowers just now. Do you have any way to test if these peach trees are okay?"

Mofan thought for a moment and then turned to look at Qitian. Qi Tian understood the meaning and nodded. He picked up several stones from the roadside. Qi Tian gathered his strength and threw the stones forcefully at the peach tree. The peach tree, under the impact of the stones, shook all over, but after the shaking, it gradually returned to calmness.

The old dog immediately beamed with joy and said, "The peach tree is fine. Let's all go and pick the peaches right away." So the old dog and the group of black-clad men quickly rushed over and, hopping around, plucked the peaches from the tree.

Just as they were happily picking the peaches, suddenly a voice sounded, saying, "Who is it? Who the hell is disturbing my sleep?"

The old dog, looking puzzled, asked the others, "Did you hear the sound? It seemed that someone was saying they were disturbing his sleep."

Just as everyone was wondering where the sound was coming from, one of the men in black said fearfully, "It's these peach trees speaking. It's these peach trees speaking."

Suddenly, everyone noticed that in the middle of each of these peach trees, a pair of large black eyes had opened. The peach trees all stood up, and their roots had left the soil and became their "feet". These peach trees all angrily and hurriedly addressed Mofan and the others, "Who are you guys? Why did you intrude into our peach grove?"

The old dog suddenly said with a frightened but smiling expression, "Brother Tree, don't be angry. I'll return the peaches to you. Adults don't hold grudges against those who are not responsible. We just were extremely thirsty and tired, so we borrowed a few peaches from you for a while." After saying that, all the people respectfully handed the peaches in their hands to these talking peach trees.

The leader of the peach tree tribe, seeing the peach trees in the hands of the old dogs, was furious. With a swing of a branch, it directly knocked one of the black-clad men to the ground.

At this moment, Uncle Jun whispered to Mo Fan, "Do you have any other solutions?" Mo Fan saw that the big battle was about to start again. Turning around, he whispered to QiTian, " 'Dull Gourd', how are we going to deal with these peach trees this time?"

Qi Tian looked at these two-meter-tall peach trees and said, "These peach trees are very tall and their trunks are very thick. Even with a knife, it's impossible to cut them down. So there is only one way to deal with them."

The old dog immediately asked, "What should we do?"

Qi Tian replied, "Just run."

Before the others could start making fun of Qi Tian's answer. The peach tree began to wave its branches and attack Mofan and his companions.

Mofan quickly said, "Everyone, hurry up and run towards the forest. The forest has many obstacles. These tall peach trees inside must be moving more slowly. If we jump into the river, these trees are naturally buoyant and would actually be more helpful for us to catch them."

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but marvel at how Maofan could remain so calm and composed in such a short time and under such urgent circumstances, and come up with a plan to escape. So all the people hurriedly headed towards the depths of the forest together.

Sure enough, the forest was filled with all kinds of plants, and the ground was not flat. For the huge peach trees, this greatly restricted their movement speed. One of the peach trees, who seemed to be the leader, shouted angrily, "When we catch you guys, we'll definitely tear you apart into eight pieces."

Mofan was running while shouting to everyone, "Keep running forward and don't look back." As they kept running, they entered a place with a waterfall, a wide grassland, little rabbits running on the ground, and butterflies and birds flying around. It seemed like a paradise out of this world.

At this moment, Mo Fan looked behind him. Surprisingly, all the peach trees that had been chasing him earlier had now completely vanished.

Lin Jing walked up to Mo Fan and asked, "Why didn't they come after us?" Mofan replied, "I don't know either. Perhaps they were so exhausted from the chase in the forest that they gave up."

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, with no one having an answer.

At this point, Uncle Jun said, "Anyway, it's good that they didn't come after us again."

So everyone settled down in this idyllic place that felt like a paradise. Only Qi Tian noticed that Mo Fan looked a little worried. Qi Tian quietly approached Mo Fan and whispered, "Do you think you've figured something out?"

Mo Fan also replied in a low voice, "I think these peach trees not coming is surely for some more important reason. This place looks beautiful, but there must be greater danger hidden within. We must remain vigilant. But anyway, everyone is very tired. Let's let them have a good rest first. We'll come back later and walk around this area thoroughly to check it out."

Just at that moment, deep within the forest, one of the peach trees asked the leading one, "Boss, are we not going to chase after them anymore?"

The leading peach tree replied, "Do we really need to chase after them? The place they went to is a hundred times more dangerous than ours. I'm afraid there won't be any survivors. Let's go back." With those words, a group of peach trees disappeared into the depths of the forest.

......

When it was discovered that they were out of danger, this group of people found a relatively secluded place to rest for the night. The next morning, Mo Fan quickly packed up Qi Tian and Old Dog and headed out to scout the area. He wanted to see if there were any dangers hidden here and also to see if he could find the way to the ancient castle mentioned in the ancient scrolls. Mofan said to his uncle, "Everyone, please rest here for now. I, Qi Tian and Old Dog will go and explore the surrounding area first. You should wait for us here until we come back."

Uncle Jun said with concern, "Then you must be very careful when you're done."

Lin Jing saw that Mo Fan and the other two were about to leave, so she quickly followed them. Mofan suddenly heard the sound of someone following behind him. Turning around, he saw Lin Jing and said, "Jing, why are you following us? You should know that this island is very dangerous. We don't know what other dangers we might encounter later either. In case there is really some danger later on, we might not be able to protect you."

Lin Jing replied, "Although this island is dangerous, it has many very strange and highly valuable things. I want to go out with you and explore around. This will be of great help for me to collect research materials. Moreover, I don't think I need your protection. I can take care of myself."

Mofan said angrily," Why are you so stubborn? When facing danger, instead of being as bold as you are now, you might actually lose your life. Besides... " Mofan didn't finish his sentence. Suddenly, he used his fighting skills to attack Lin Jing. Although Lin Jing had also practiced traditional Chinese martial arts for several years, in front of the three of them who had been adventuring for a long time and who were martial artists, she seemed rather vulnerable.

Lin Jing also used her fighting skills to counterattack against Mofan's attack. Actually, she knew in her heart that Mofan just wanted to test her skills to make her know how to give up when facing difficulties and not really do her any harm. But compared to Mofan's excellent skills, she was still quite far behind. In just two or three steps, she was attacked by Mofan and lost her balance, almost falling to the ground. Seeing this, Mofan, before Lin Jing could land, grabbed her around the waist and gently put her on the ground. Mofan also knelt down and teased Lin Jing, saying, "Look, you can't even resist my moves. How much more so when you encounter even more terrifying non-human monsters. Then no one will be so kind as to put you on the ground for you."

Seeing Mofan teasing her like this, Lin Jing became even angrier. She sneered and turned around, walking in another direction.

Mofan also chased a few steps behind and shouted, "Hey, Lin Jing, wait a moment."

At this time, Qitian and the old dog who had been watching from the side also came forward and held Mofan. Qitian said, "Forget it. I think you have scared her already. She should have gone back on the way. Let's hurry to inspect the situation around, and don't delay any longer, as it will waste time and cause problems."

Mofan could only helplessly turn around and lead QiTian and the Old Dog to continue walking forward. Mentally, he was thinking of going back to comfort Lin Jing and explain to her that he definitely didn't mean to humiliate her. He just worried about her safety and wanted her to give up when facing difficulties.

As for Lin Jing, she didn't go back. Although she was very angry, she didn't give up her original idea. Instead, she headed in another direction. She thought to herself, "If Mofan and his team don't want to take me along, then I'll go out by myself to explore the surrounding area and see if I can find any valuable research materials."

They didn't know how long they had been walking. Maofan and the other two were also getting a bit tired. So the three of them decided to stop in a thicket of bushes, take a break, have something to eat, and drink some water.

Suddenly, the old dog, who had been resting against a tree root, moved its nose and opened its eyes. It seemed to have smelled something very fragrant. Standing up, it sniffed the surrounding smells continuously and walked away on its own, following the scent. Mo Fan and Qi Tian saw the strange expression on the old dog's face and were also puzzled. Mo Fan asked, "Hey, old dog, what have you been doing?" The old dog didn't answer Mo Fan's question. Instead, he just waved its hand behind himself and then walked away by sniffing the air.

Qi Tian said to Mofan, "Forget it. You've known him for more than a day. He probably went to look for some delicious food again. This guy can endure almost any hardship, except for hunger." After listening, Mo Fan smiled understandingly and continued to drink water.

............

Let's turn back to Lin Jing. After she walked away by herself, she went to a forest on her own. She saw that the ground was covered with all kinds of strange fungi. So she excitedly picked some and collected them in the containers she had taken out from her carry-on bag, collecting them with great enthusiasm. Suddenly, Lin Jing seemed to hear some sound. She stood up and cautiously walked in the direction of the sound. Suddenly, she seemed to see a black mass lying on the ground.....

............

At this moment, on the side of the old dog, he didn't know how long his nose had followed the scent. Suddenly, as he was walking, he saw a fire. On top of the fire was a large pile of roasted chickens, and immediately the aroma of the roasted chickens and the tempting food attracted the old dog. The old dog still vigilantly looked around and found no one else. Thinking that there was no one around now, he decided to eat a few bites and then leave. The owner of the roasted chickens couldn't catch him. Just like this, the old dog walked to the fire, sat down, took out a dagger from his bag, grabbed a huge chicken leg, and forcefully cut it off with the knife. He ate voraciously, while shouting, "Ouch, it's hot! Delicious, delicious!"

The old dog was carefully savoring this unexpected delicacy, completely unaware that two huge creatures were quietly approaching from behind. Suddenly, a finger poked at the old dog's shoulder from behind. The old dog thought it was Mo Fan and Qi Tian who had arrived, and without looking back, he said, "Old Mo, 'Dull gourd', hurry up and come over and eat. These roasted chickens smell so good."

But then the huge finger continued to jab at the old dog's shoulder. The old dog, impatiently extending one hand, caught a finger that had landed on his shoulder and said impatiently, "You two stop bothering and come over here to eat right now."

Suddenly, the old dog realized that what it had caught was not right. This was not a human hand, but a finger. But it was definitely not a human finger. Human fingers couldn't be this thick. The old dog turned its head in terror slowly. It was so frightened that it scrambled away, dropping the chicken leg in its hand and falling onto the grass beside it. The old dog shouted, "Damn it! Gorilla, Gorilla!" There were actually two huge black gorillas at the back.

Two black gorillas, furious, addressed the old dog, "Who are these humans? How dare they intrude into our territory and steal our food?"

The old dog, upon hearing that the gorilla was actually speaking human language, became even more frightened and panicked. He shouted, "My goodness, it's two gorillas that can talk!" Today was really a freakish day.

The old dog pleaded, "Sorry, I ate your food without permission. I'll compensate you. You can have me do whatever you want as a way of making up for it."

Two gorillas were a male and a female. The male gorilla said, "Since you have eaten our lunch today, then you can stay and be our lunch." After saying that, the two orangutans each grabbed a small tree on either side and pulled hard, uprooting the trees and turning them into weapons in their hands. This clearly shows that the two orangutans were extremely strong.

The old dog knew that if he didn't find a way to escape, when the tree sticks in their hands fell down, his life would be over right here. So, the old dog's instinct for survival was aroused. The old dog suddenly had an idea and shouted to the orangutan, "Hey, you guys have arrived. Hurry up and deal with them."

The two black gorillas believed the old dog's words, turned their heads to look in the rear, and looked around but found nothing. Immediately, they realized they had been deceived. The two gorillas immediately turned their heads, only to find that the old dog had already run away. They quickly chased after him from behind and shouted, "You bastard, don't run!"

The old dog kept running along the road, desperately in the direction it had come from, not daring to take a breath, and while running, it kept shouting, Old Mo, 'Dull gourd', help! Help! There's a talking gorilla, there's a talking gorilla.

After a while, Mo Fan and his companions saw the old dog and ran back in a state of panic. Mofan asked in confusion, "Old dog, why are you so panicked? Where did you go just now?"

The old dog kept running and shouting, "Look behind you yourselves!"

Mo Fan and Qi Tian looked back together and were immediately startled. There were two huge gorillas, each holding a tree stick, chasing the old dog frantically back.

Mofan and QiTian quickly took out their pistols from their pockets and simultaneously fired at the black gorillas in the background. QiTian angrily scolded the old dog, saying, "What have you done this time to cause all these troubles?"

The old dog ran up to them and also pulled out his pistol, aiming it at the black gorillas. Then he said to QiTian, "Brother, it's not the time to settle scores. Let's think of a way to deal with these black gorillas right away."

Among them, the female black gorilla saw that each of them was holding a gun and pointing it at them. Although they were very strong, they inevitably caused some harm to them. So, to the male black gorilla beside her, she said, "Honey, humans have powerful weapons in their hands. Let's go back and gather people, then go and catch them. Anyway, they can't escape." After hearing this, the male black gorilla and the female black gorilla ran together towards the deeper part of the forest, disappearing from the sight of Mofan and his group.

The old dog let out a sigh of relief at this point and said, "It seems they were driven away by us. We should be safe now."

Mofan said, "I'm afraid it's not like that. I have a bad feeling. I suspect they have gone back to gather people."

Qi Tian also said to Mofan, "Just now, did you notice that I seemed to see those two black gorillas communicating through language?"

Mofan said, "You're right. I saw it too."

The old dog chimed in, "Exactly, you're right. They are indeed intelligent black gorillas who can speak."

Mofan said, "Let's hurry back and inform the elders. We should quickly find a place to hide."

After saying that, the three of them quickly ran back to the group of people led by Uncle Jun. When Uncle Jun saw the three of them panting and running back, he looked panicked and asked anxiously, "Your faces don't look right. Has something happened?"

Mofan briefly recounted what had happened just now to Uncle Jun and his companions. This immediately frightened them into a state of stunned silence. They all hurriedly packed their bags and prepared to find a safe place to hide.

Mofan suddenly remembered and asked, "Where is Lin Jing? Where has she gone? Why didn't I see her?"

Uncle Jun replied, "Didn't I see her running to you guys this morning? Why didn't she come back with you guys?"

Mofan muttered a curse at himself, "Damn it!" Then he turned to the group and said, "You all go and find a place to hide. I'll go look for Lin Jing. While I'm out, you can make some marks along the way. We'll find you. As for what kind of marks to make, Qi Tian and Old Dog will handle it."

Just as everyone was about to proceed according to the plan. Suddenly, the gorillas that had just been chasing them ran out. One of the gorillas said, "They are here. Everyone, hurry up and surround them." Suddenly, a group of animals rushed out around Mo Fan and his companions. There were leopards, tigers, lions, and huge black bears... Of course, there was also that gorillas which had just chased after them, as well as their fellow creatures.

When Uncle Jun saw this, he immediately called on everyone and said, "Everyone, take out your weapons and ammunition and get ready to shoot."

The two black gorillas that were just chasing Mofan were probably the leaders of this group of animals. Only the male black gorilla could be heard shouting, "Let's attack them together! But be careful, humans have advanced weapons in their hands."

Uncle Jun said to Mo Fan beside him, "It seems that not only these gorillas can speak, but other animals can do so as well. This is crazy! What kind of place is this? I had never seen these strange animals before."

Mofan turned to Jun Shu and said, "Did you see many strange animals before?"

Uncle Jun said," At most, I would only see very large animals that I couldn't even name. But such animals capable of having mental exchanges, this is the first time we have encountered such creatures."

As soon as they finished speaking. These animals rushed forward all at once and attacked Mofan and his companions. Suddenly, there was a burst of flames everywhere, along with the howls of the animals, the agonizing cries of the injured, and the thuds of bullets and shells.

Gradually, the bullets of Mo Fan and his men became increasingly scarce, and the circle of their encirclement kept shrinking. They were on the verge of danger. At that moment, the most skilled Qi Tian took out a grenade from his pocket. With his agile movements, he quickly climbed up a tree and detonated the grenade, throwing it at the continuously approaching animals. This caused them to scatter in all directions, fleeing in panic.

The leading male black gorilla waved his hand and shouted, "Everyone, retreat back first." Perhaps the animals didn't expect that humans had such powerful weapons. At this moment, Mo Fan and his team finally let out a brief sigh of relief. They helped the injured companion who had fallen to the ground to stand up, and then tightly gathered around each other, remaining vigilant.

The leading black gorilla menacingly addressed Mofan and the others, "Your weapons may be powerful, but they will eventually run out. Why don't you surrender and reduce the casualties?"

Mofan shouted at the black gorilla, "We have no reason to fight with you. Why do you attack us? Even though you are numerous, we have limited ammunition, but surely you will suffer many casualties. Why do we have to end up both losing? Why don't we both back off and let us leave? We will definitely not do anything to harm you either."

The black gorilla sneered, "Can you trust what humans say? You know, here, among all these animals, none of us has not been tortured by the people in the castle. You must be in the same group as them."

Mofan immediately had many questions and asked, "Are you saying that you know where the castle is? There are people who tortured you inside, or that there are people living there?"

The black gorilla and the animals looked puzzled. The black gorilla said doubtfully, "You mean you are looking for the castle? You are not in the same group as them, right?"

The old dog answered first, "We don't even know them. We just arrived. There are things of ours that are lost there. We are here to look for them."

Just as the leading male black gorilla continued to ask in confusion, "Are you telling the truth? How can we prove that what you said is true?"

Just as everyone was debating the authenticity of their words, an elderly white gorilla walked over and said to the leading black gorilla, "Leader, your child is missing. It must be that these humans have taken them away."

Suddenly, the male black gorilla roared at Mo Fan and his companions, "Humans really aren't trustworthy. Hand over my child to me right now, or I will definitely tear you all apart." After saying this, he waved his hand to signal the animals to launch the final attack.

Mo Fan shouted, "What child? We didn't catch your child. This must be a misunderstanding."

But at this point, the animals were no longer willing to believe what Mo Fan and his companions said. Each of them was ready to act and bring the matter to a final conclusion.

..........................................................................................

Just at this critical moment, the entire team of Mofan also believed that they were likely to lose their lives here today.

Suddenly a voice rang out: "Dad, stop! This is just a misunderstanding." At this moment, Lin Jing was holding a black gorilla about four or five years old in her arms and was shouting at the male gorillas who were leading the group.

All eyes were focused on Lin Jing and the young gorilla in her arms, causing them to stop their duel. One could see that the young gorilla's left leg was wrapped in a bandage, indicating that it had been injured in an accident. It was obvious that Lin Jing had treated this young gorilla.

Lin Jing slowly walked up to the male and female gorillas and returned the infant gorilla in her arms to them. She said, "While I was walking in the forest, I suddenly saw your son who had injured his leg. So I treated and bandaged his wound. Just as I was about to take him to meet his parents, I heard some commotion here. I guessed that it must be you guys looking for the child.

The young gorilla also chimed in to explain, "Dad and Mom, this lady said it was true. I sneaked out today to pick some fruit to eat. But because my tree-climbing skills weren't quite mature, my hands and feet slipped at once and I broke my left leg. Just then, this beautiful lady appeared and saved me. She and her companions must all be good people. You shouldn't be treating them unfairly."

At this moment, the female gorilla, as the mother, let out a sigh of relief and hugged her baby. Then, she thanked Lin Jing with gratitude, saying, "I'm truly very grateful for your help." And turning to the male gorilla, she said, "Honey, it seems we misunderstood someone good. We mustn't harm the humans who are helping our children."

So the male black gorilla shouted to all the animals, "Everyone, move back! Don't hurt them!" And he walked over to Mo Fan alone, extending a finger as if to indicate a gesture of reconciliation with Mo Fan. And said "Thank you". 

Mofan also reached out his hand and grasped the fingers of the black gorilla. He said, "It seems that our misunderstanding has been resolved."

As the other animals dispersed, MoFan began to communicate with the two remaining black gorillas and their children.

When the male gorilla learned that Mofan and his companions had been searching for the direction to the ancient castle, he said with curiosity and concern, "That place is very dangerous. It's better for you not to go there."

Mofan asked, "I once heard you say that you animals all suffered at the hands of the people in the ancient castle. Is that true? Who were the people inside and how did you manage to escape?"

The male black gorilla replied, "That's true. There are a group of very strange people living there. We are all descendants of animals that were previously captured and brought back. And we have heard from the older generation about the dangers there. It is said that they conducted various experiments on us. But for some reason, one day the ancient castle suddenly descended into chaos, and it seemed that they had vanished inside. Then many animals, in the midst of the chaos, escaped and from that moment on, we began to multiply here. "

Mofan pressed further, "Then do you know where the castle is?"

The male black gorilla, seeing that Mofan and his companions were so determined, could do nothing but point in one direction and say, "You should keep going straight in this direction. You will definitely be able to see that ancient castle. We have always regarded that place as a forbidden area and never ventured into it. If you insist on going there, I can only wish you good luck."

Mofan wrote down the direction and said to the apes, "Thank you for your guidance. I'm very glad to have met you."

After the communication was completed, when it was night, the animals brought a lot of food to Mofan and his group. It's hard to imagine that there was a group of animals and humans sitting together, eating, chatting, and some even playing with the humans. They all stayed awake until late at night before falling asleep together tiredly.

..........................................................................................

Late at night, Mo Fan quietly approached Lin Jing who was still awake. At this moment, Lin Jing was holding a notebook and quietly noting down what was happening here, as well as making data records of the plants she had recently collected. Mo Fan gently patted Lin Jing's shoulder and asked, "It's so late and you still haven't gone to sleep."

Lin Jing replied, "You didn't sleep either, did you? Do you have any business with me?" From her tone, it can be seen that Lin Jing is still angry about what happened in the morning.

Mofan said apologetically, "I owe you an apology. I'm here specifically to say sorry to you."

Lin Jing deliberately asked, "What have you done to wrong me?"

Mofan said, "I shouldn't have underestimated you today. I shouldn't have thought that your following would cause us any security problems. It was my arrogance and male chauvinism that led me to make such a mistake. In fact, you are our savior today. From now on, I will definitely respect you more and regard you as an excellent partner."

When Lin Jing heard Mo Fan's words, her inner dissatisfaction vanished immediately, and her feelings towards Mo Fan became even more favorable. She said gently, "Actually, it's not your fault. I know your intention was to care about my safety. In fact, if you hadn't tried to force me to leave, maybe I wouldn't have encountered the injured young gorilla, and we wouldn't have been able to get everyone out of danger either."

Mo Fan praised Lin Jing, saying, "You are truly a broad-minded and understanding intelligent woman."

At this moment, both of them looked at each other, and their faces gradually turned rosy. A strange seed was beginning to sprout in both of their hearts.

..........................................................................................
