Every cause must bear fruit, your catastrophe is me

In the vast and boundless forest, there are many cities, sects or villages established by humans. Even though they are guarded by human monks, they still encounter some powerful monsters from time to time.

Because he just came here not long ago, Tang Yin is not familiar with the topography of this continent, and he also learned from the mouth of the ancient ape that this forest spans thousands of miles and is located in Dongzhou, one of the five continents.

There are five regions in the Great Wilderness, which are the four states in the east, west, north, and south, plus the Shenzhou that is located in the center of the five states.

Every area is divided up by many powerful ethnic forces. In this era of monsters raging, most ordinary people are actually willing to move to those sect territories with powerful monks to seek shelter if conditions permit.

But human beings are human beings after all, how can they compare with those monsters who have cultivated into spirits?
In addition, the forest is as wide and boundless as the ocean, and there are countless monsters. Once discovered by those powerful monsters, there is only one dead end.

Therefore, even if many people want to leave here, they are powerless.

Everyone sticks together to form a human village. Once monsters attack, maybe the number of monsters can scare away some weak monsters.

"Brother Ancient Ape, you are not weak, and you are fully capable of leading the villagers you guard to escape out of the forest, but why haven't you led anyone away for hundreds of years?"

Tang Yin asked as he followed the ancient ape.

The latter was tall and walked extremely fast. Tang Yin hurried to keep up with his pace.

Hearing this, the ancient ape let out a wry smile, "I took them away before, but when I was in the territory of a nearby sect, because of my identity, I attracted the monks of that sect to pursue them."

"Even though the villagers kept explaining to me, they didn't listen at all, thinking that the villagers were confused by me."

"You also know this continent. In the eyes of the human race, our monster race is a different species. Once we are discovered, we will suffer disaster. Therefore, I put the villagers down and returned to the forest by myself."

Speaking of this, the eyes of the ancient ape flickered.

"But not long after I returned to the forest, I found that the villagers were driven back to the forest by the people from the human sect. They thought that the villagers were under my control and were human spies."

"Hehe, it's also ridiculous. Knowing that most of the people in the village are women and children, they still drove the villagers back to the forest, completely ignoring their lives."

"From then on, I no longer believed in these so-called human sects, so I led them to rebuild a new village."

"Fortunately, after training, my strength has also become stronger, so I followed the promise I made to my benefactor hundreds of years ago and stayed, guarding them for generations."

"I see."

Tang Yin suddenly realized, but also understood.

After being treated like that, the people in the village also lost confidence in those so-called sects. They would rather continue to live in the forest than seek the protection of those human monks.

Fortunately, the ancient ape has been guarding it, otherwise such a village would have been wiped out by the monsters in the forest for hundreds of years.

Following the ancient ape in the forest, after walking for about half an hour, a village hidden in the forest appeared in front of him.

Looking around, small fenced courtyards came into view, scattered all over the village.

I have to say that this place is indeed very hidden.

On the adjacent side is a cliff, surrounded by thick giant trees.

Moreover, the whole village is surrounded by dense circles of branches, even if it is a hundred meters away, it is difficult to find it.

There is only a narrow path to enter the village, and a half-meter-high stone tablet is erected on the path.

"Wood Spirit Village."

Tang Yin muttered the name of the village, and followed the ancient ape slowly towards the village.

At dusk, the setting sun stretched the shadows of the two people to a long distance, and reflected in the rice fields on both sides of the path, shining golden light.

The village is not that big, with less than [-] households, and some dried, invisible meat is hung in front of each house.

"Why is there no one?"

After entering, Tang Yin found that the whole village was empty, and it was strangely quiet.

"Because of the iron-toothed tiger's surprise attack today, I asked the villagers to hide temporarily."

The ancient ape smiled softly, and then let go of his voice and shouted to the village: "Everyone come out, the iron-toothed tigers have all been wiped out."

After the words fell, I saw a small head poking out of a fenced yard. After seeing the ancient ape at the entrance of the village, a three or four-year-old boy ran out eating his feet.

"Uncle Gu Yuan is back, Uncle Gu Ape is back!"

He squeaked and yelled as he ran this way.

At this time, several people from other yards poked their heads out quietly, and they all cheered when they saw the people at the entrance of the village.

"It's the ancient ape-sama!"

"Master Gu Ape drove the iron-toothed tiger away, we are safe!"

Ordinary people ran out of the house with excited faces, rushing towards this side one after another.

The ancient ape wanted to go forward to hug the little boy who ran out first, but considering that he still had blood stains on his body, he just squatted down and touched the boy's head, his eyes full of doting.

"Uncle Gu Yuan, why are you injured? Does it hurt?"

The little boy held his arm and raised his mouth, asking in a vague tone.

"It doesn't hurt, it's just a minor injury, it'll be fine after a night of rest."

The ancient ape smiled gently.

At this time, all the other villagers also came to surround the ancient ape in the middle and thanked him persistently.

Some villagers ran home immediately after discovering that the ancient ape was injured, took out some herbs for hemostasis, crushed them and applied them to him.

Looking at the ancient ape who was holding the moon, Tang Yin's mouth also raised a smile.

It was the first time for him to see humans and monsters get along so well.

"Master Gu Yuan saved the lives of the whole village again this time. We really don't know how to thank you."

An old man who seemed to be over sixty years old said that he was about to kneel down to him, and upon seeing this, the ancient ape quickly helped him up.

"The village chief doesn't have to be like this, it's all my job."

"Besides, it's not me who saved you today, but this little brother. If it wasn't for his help, maybe even I would die."

As he spoke, he pointed to Tang Yin who was at the outermost of the crowd.

Maybe it was too excited to see the ancient ape come back safely, so few people noticed that there was such a stranger here for a while.

However, after hearing Gu Yuan's introduction, he still turned all the villagers' attention to Tang Yin.

Looking carefully, this young man is slender, wearing a simple green shirt, with sharp sword eyebrows, a straight nose, and a well-defined face.

There is a unique aura exuding from all over his body, and he is not an ordinary person at first glance.

Could it be a human monk?
Thinking of the crowd, they quickly surrounded him.

"Little brother is really young and promising! This time you saved Master Gu Yuan and us all, the old man kowtows to you!"

"Master, hurry up and get up, it's a blessing for me to do this."

Tang Yin hurriedly helped him up, "I just happened to pass by to help out. It's even more admirable for Big Brother Gu Yuan to fight those iron-toothed tigers with their lives."
