By that ti, he was level 60 and extrely tired. If he wasn’t a Lightning Apostle and didn’t have the attribute boosts from Elliot’s levels, he would have definitely fallen in the forest.
“And you still had the nerve to think about challenging the Ant Queen.” Wu Kong chided himself as he sped through the rocky terrain that stretched out endlessly for many, many kiloters. He still had a long way to go before he reached the forest where Elliot said the Behemoth Lightning Apes had made their lair.
Suddenly, Wu Kong stopped dead in his tracks. His powerful nose had caught the scent of an extrely powerful beast.
He glanced around warily, but there were nothing but trees and rocks around him. Even though the moon was shining brightly, he was a monkey, and monkeys didn’t have the best night vision.
Wu Kong imdiately climbed up a tree to hide himself, observe the area for a while and also to give himself a chance to recover to his peak condition.
For a few minutes, absolutely nothing happened.
And then one giant mountain goat filled with horrible wounds appeared as it made its way out of the forest. It staggered weakly and walked unstably away into the distance.
After a few more minutes, a few more random animals also appeared and dispersed around the area. A few human beings made it out too. They were the extrely lucky few who had survived the ant invasion of the forest.
Wu Kong simply rested on the tree and munched on a food bar which Elliot had given him. He could feel a rising sense of excitent building in his system as the scent of the powerful creature slowly but surely beca stronger.
The beast must have been attracted by the powerful sll of blood emanating from the forest where the ants were feasting with all of their might.
True enough, a mighty roar soon resounded from the direction where the giant mountain goat had disappeared to, followed by the distinct death cry of a mountain goat for a quick second before it was cut off.
The beast had arrived.
Wu Kong remained on his tree and kept a vigilant lookout in the direction from whence the roar ca from. His mind raced to do the math.
“If it appears in one minute, then it must be a huge beast that’s able to eat that giant goat in one bite. I can’t deal with such an enemy. If it appears in five minutes, then it’s still plenty huge, and I probably also can’t deal with it. However, if it appears in ten minutes, I should be able to deal with it.” Wu Kong mumbled to himself.
One minute passed. Then two minutes. Then three. Very soon, eight minutes passed, and still no sign of the beast.
Wu Kong was about to nod and sigh with relief when a huge silhouette appeared in the darkness. His heart imdiately fell.
It was a tiger of so sort, but much bigger. It was probably around the size of Elliot’s Primal Feline Warrior.
It fell directly in between the categories “Avoid fighting at all costs” and “You can kill it, go ahead”.
“You just can’t make life easy for , can you?” Wu Kong muttered at his fate. “Should I fight or not?”
The Mutated Sabertooth Tiger Lord raised its ferocious head and sniffed the air a couple of tis.
Wu Kong knew exactly what he slled. The sll of blood coming from the forest was extrely overpowering, and it was probably the only thing it was interested in.
Wu Kong had no doubt that the tiger could sll him. But he was desperately hoping that the tiger was hungry and would focus on getting an easy al.
In the best case scenario, the tiger would be thinking, “Why should I chase after an irritating monkey all over the mountain when there’s a feast to crash just a short distance away?”
And apparently, much to Wu Kong’s joy and relief, the tiger was extrely hungry.
After sniffing in his direction once, the Mutated Sabertooth Tiger Lord turned towards the forest and began to run towards it.
Wu Kong grinned. When it cos back out wounded and tired a few hours later, he would et with a fully recovered Wu Kong ready to reap its pathetic life.
Life worked in many mysterious ways. The smartest did not always co out with the best plans, and the strongest did not always make it to the end. A combination of circumstance, preparation, and of course a huge generous dose of luck mattered much, much more than personal strength.
And that night, an extrely powerful beast would fall to an intelligent, patient, and extrely lucky monkey.

“Wu Kong? You’re still fighting this late at night? How are you doing?” Elliot asked with a slightly concerned voice in his mind space.
“I’m not really fighting, Master. I’m just cleaning up after a bunch of ants.” Wu Kong chuckled. “Don’t worry, I’m totally fine.”
“Of course, Master.” Wu Kong imdiately agreed.
“Find a place to sleep and have a good rest. If things continue the way it went today, the second day of the Apocalypse would be an extrely crazy day, full of dangerous beasts everywhere.” Elliot told Wu Kong.
“Yes Master.”
