Chapter 236 A Forced Encounter with a Vicious Monkey (Part 2)

Startled by the mischievous monkey's antics, the octopus had to use two of its claws to deal with him. However, its remaining claws still tightly gripped Murong Dubai. The monkey was displeased and continued to pull on the other claws as well as the monkey's other claws. The octopus became increasingly anxious as it struggled to cope, and its movements became somewhat chaotic. At this moment, Murong Junlan's thin rope swung over again, leaving the octopus attacked from both sides. However, it still relentlessly clung to Murong Dubai and refused to let go.

With a snap, the octopus's back was pierced by the rope, a sharp pain shooting through it. The octopus went berserk, tightening its claws around Murong Dubai's neck, causing the veins to bulge and making it difficult to breathe. At that moment, the gorilla charged forward again, also enraged. It refused to believe that an octopus could hold a person, let alone withstand Murong Junlan's thin rope. The gorilla had fought Murong Junlan countless times, and they were even evenly matched.

That last rope hurt enough, didn't it? Look, Murong Junlan's second rope is coming. Let's see how many ropes you can withstand before you fall. With this wicked thought, this mischievous monkey actually pushed the octopus tentacles that had just been torn off towards the rope when Murong Junlan swung the rope.

The push didn't scare the octopus away, but it startled Murong Junlan. His original intention in throwing out the thin rope was to threaten the octopus into putting Murong Dubai down. Little did he know that it would actually catch the rope. The rope hit the octopus, and he really couldn't bear to hurt Murong Junlan. Although he had some opinions about the Pavilion Master, he didn't intend to deal with the Pavilion Master's subordinates. At most, he just wanted to scare the octopus away and save Murong Dubai.

Just as the octopus turned its back to prepare to take the rope head-on, Murong Junlan suddenly pulled it up, and the rope instantly sprang up. It looked like the octopus had already dodged the rope, but unexpectedly, the mischievous monkey who was rushing up pulled the other end of the rope and swung it at the octopus again. The force of the swing left Murong Junlan speechless.

"You impudent monkey!" Murong Junlan cursed under his breath. He quickly pulled the rope up again, intending to pull it back, but the monkey on the other end held on tightly. Murong Junlan had no choice but to use his internal force to force the monkey to let go. Feeling the pressure of the internal force, the monkey not only refused to release its grip but also stubbornly swung the rope wildly. Murong Junlan was furious and commanded the monkey:

"Let go."

Ha, you tell me to let go, why don't you tell it to let go? The monkey's stubbornness erupted instantly. It muttered and cursed under its breath, meaning it was very dissatisfied with Murong Junlan calling it a monkey. It thought to itself, "I just won't let go, what can you do about it?"

"Release..." Murong Junlan was about to shout again when the gorilla suddenly swung the thin rope at the octopus. It was a specially made steel wire rope, and if it hit the octopus's wingless and boneless flesh again, it would really tear a gash. However, Murong Junlan was a bit far away from the octopus, and he couldn't pull the rope back no matter how hard he tried. He only managed to say "Release," but before he could finish the word "rope," he heard another "smack," followed by a scream.

Murong Junlan closed his eyes, not wanting to see the outcome he didn't want to see. When he opened his eyes, he was surprised to see the octopus roll several more feet forward, almost reaching the entrance of the Dark Woodcutter Temple. A fireball beside it lay flat on the ground. Murong Junlan understood; the arrow must have struck the fireball guard.

Murong Junlan hesitated for a moment. He suddenly wondered whether he should rescue Murong Dubai or be captured with him before trying to rescue him. But before he could finish his hesitation, the group of fireball guards had already rushed over aggressively. He had no choice but to forcefully pull back the thin rope. The mischievous monkey was also pulled upside down, like a hungry monkey trying to defecate.

Seizing the opportunity, the octopus rolled out of the Dark Wood Temple gate. Hong Xiuying, who was standing nearby, became anxious and chased after it on her own, even though she hadn't received any orders from Murong Junlan. The martial monks also began to fight the fireball guards.

In the chaos, the octopus, carrying Murong Dubai, also tumbled down the mountain. Just as it was covered in wounds from thorns, Murong Junlan and Princess Yan'er appeared before it.
