Chapter 61: Dare to Hurt My Monkey?

The sudden voice startled both Elijah and Vesta.

The two immediately split to opposite sides, watching their backs warily:

"Who's there?!"

"Just an ordinary passerby..."

A handsome young man in a white T-shirt shrugged, smiling at the blond man on the left: "You are Elijah?"

Elijah narrowed his eyes, pointing his revolver at Lin Yu, and said coldly, "You know me?"

Lin Yu smiled and said, "Of course I do. The famous Nathan Guard. To be honest, I'm quite interested in Nathan Island. Perhaps I'll pay a visit when I have time in the future..."

"Is that so?" Elijah sneered. "Then you'd better think carefully!"

"Nathan Island is not only the island of the Mutants, but also a place forgotten by the world. Any Mutant who boards Nathan Island on their own will be deemed to have renounced their nationality and identity, becoming a stateless person with nowhere to go..."

"I know that, of course..."

Lin Yu bent down without a care, soothing the restless golden snub-nosed monkey at his feet, and chuckled softly: "Don't worry, don't worry. With me here, your kin won't die. If you don't believe me, take a closer look~"

Upon hearing this, not only the golden snub-nosed monkey, but even Elijah and Vesta were stunned.

The next second, the monkey whose body had been pierced by Elijah's shot let out a weak cry, then, to the shocked gaze of the two, staggered to its feet!

Moreover, along the entire mountain path, all the fallen golden snub-nosed monkeys "revived."

Twisted limbs returned to normal, dislocated joints all healed, and even broken limbs and blood-filled holes in their bodies grew and mended at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"What is going on?!"

Including Elijah and Vesta, all the Chinese and foreign Mutants present showed expressions of shock.

Lin Yu naturally would not explain to these people what "healing magic" was.

He patted the head of the golden snub-nosed monkey beside him, stood up, and said with a smile: "Alright, stop attacking them. They were just taking money to do a job; they didn't mean to invade your territory."

"Besides, from now on, this is no longer your territory either."

"Your leader has already agreed to me and will lead the entire tribe to move to another place..."

Leader? Moving?

The troop of monkeys looked at each other, seeming not to understand the meaning of the words.

Seeing this, the monkey beside Lin Yu instantly flew into a rage, waving its fists and chattering and screeching.

Hearing this, the troop of monkeys widened their eyes, glaring angrily at this monkey, and also began to screech and chatter.

In an instant, the entire valley fell into the chaos of ape cries.

Elijah and the others exchanged a glance, silently gathering together, wary of the agitated troop of monkeys around them.

A massive wave of mental fluctuations entered his mind, making Lin Yu's forehead vein throb.

He snorted coldly, and terrifying spiritual power spread out like a tide, instantly covering the entire valley.

"I said he is the leader, so he is the leader!"

"What... do you have objections?"

A terrifying aura spread out recklessly, filling the valley's atmospheric formation, blocking out the sun and sky.

Elijah and the others had just entered the valley and had not yet merged with the atmospheric formation, so they could not fully feel this aura; they could only vaguely sense that the surrounding environment had changed, giving them an extremely ominous premonition.

In comparison, the monkeys within the atmospheric formation felt it even more deeply.

In their eyes, countless huge black shadows suddenly stretched out behind Lin Yu, clawing and waving like a demon god, twisting and writhing, arrogantly blocking out the entire sky...

In the original work, as long as one passed through the valley by the correct route, one could gain the recognition of these monkeys.

But what Lin Yu had done had long exceeded the scope of recognition.

In an instant, all the monkeys shut their mouths, crouched on the ground in terror, and trembled uncontrollably.

Seeing this scene, the golden snub-nosed monkey in front of Lin Yu became arrogant instead, chattering loudly with a face full of pride.

Lin Yu's lips twitched; he reached out, grabbed it by the scruff of its neck, lifted it up, and said in a bad mood:

"Stop acting like a fox borrowing the tiger's might here. Hurry up and take them all away, go back to the place just now."

"Chirp chirp!"

The golden snub-nosed monkey quickly agreed, then dropped to the ground, shouted twice at the troop of monkeys, used all four limbs, and ran back the way they came.

The troop of monkeys, still crouching on the ground, looked at each other; after hesitating for a moment, they all stood up, glanced cautiously at Lin Yu, and then turned and disappeared into the forest and rock walls.

"Alright!"

Lin Yu lightly clapped his hands, drawing the attention of the foreign Mutants, and then said with a smile: "Since the monkey problem has been solved, shouldn't we settle the final account?"

"..."

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.

Elijah's face darkened, as if he understood something.

But some people completely failed to understand Lin Yu's meaning, such as that American who used telekinesis.

Nash frowned and said, "Settle what final account? What exactly are you talking about?"

Lin Yu said with a smile: "Of course, the medical expenses and mental damage compensation for the monkeys."

"What?!"

Everyone widened their eyes, looking at Lin Yu in disbelief.

Nash shouted angrily: "It was them who attacked us!"

"Wasn't it you who invaded their territory first?"

Lin Yu glanced at him and said, "I remember you're American. According to the laws in your country, shouldn't a homeowner have the right to shoot dead anyone who illegally intrudes?"

Elijah's face beside him darkened: "You also said we were just taking money to do a job, not intentionally intruding here. Besides, they are just a group of monkeys, not—"

"They are my monkeys!"

Lin Yu said to him with a calm expression.

At these words, everyone's hearts sank, and they all prepared for battle.

Just then, Lin Yu's attitude shifted again. He smiled and looked at the crowd, saying, "How about this? I won't ask for much. Just leave behind the Cultivation Techniques of your respective schools, and I guarantee you will all leave safely!"

"Dream on!"

Nash sneered, and the pebbles floating beside him instantly shot out.

Lin Yu stood there regretfully. Without making any move, the pebbles rushing through the air shattered with a boom, turning into a cloud of dust about three feet in front of him.

"What a pity. You have made the worst choice..."

Before his words ended, a blurred figure suddenly appeared behind Nash.

Before Nash could react, a hand blade wrapped in poisonous Qi struck his neck.

"Ugh!"

Nash's eyes widened suddenly, turning bloodshot, and he collapsed to the ground in an instant.

Chanon, standing nearby, whipped his head around, only to find the attacker had already vanished.

"An ambush!"

"Damn it, he isn't alone!"

Chanon, a Muay Thai master, roared in anger and then swung his fist violently at the air.

A whistling gust of force followed his fist, blasting forward and instantly revealing a distorted, blurred figure.

"There he is!"

Accompanying Chanon's shout, Elijah quickly raised his revolver and pulled the trigger at that blurred figure.

"Bang!"

The bullet, engraved with runes, left the muzzle, accelerated again in mid-air, and shot away as a streak of red light.

He He Jingfeng, hidden within the Illusion Body Barrier, was caught off guard and failed to dodge the impact of that red streak.

But before the bullet struck his body, two slender fingers suddenly appeared, gently pinching the bullet.

"A golden bullet..."

Lin Yu, having appeared before He He Jingfeng at some unknown moment, examined the deformed bullet between his fingers with interest.

Such incredible speed!

Everyone looked at Lin Yu in shock.

He He Jingfeng, maintaining his blurred form, said in a low voice, "Sorry, Lin Dage. This situation really isn't suitable for me."

"No need to apologize. Who told you to be an assassin..."

Lin Yu said with a smile, "Besides, you didn't have any significant emotional fluctuation just now. Even without me, you could have handled that bullet yourself, right?"
