Reverend Insanity - Chapter 240

Chapter 240: Arm Wrestling

Bandit monkeys were very strong and were as big as an elephant . Mature bandit monkey could reach ten meters of height and had bulging muscles all over their body . Their arms were over two times thicker than their legs and their tails were like iron rods, capable of pulverizing rocks .

The fur of bandit monkeys were golden with black tiger stripes covering their body . What was peculiar was the fur from their waist grew out naturally to cover the crotch and the butt area, just like a leather skirt .

Howl!

The monkey king of this bandit monkey group, suddenly opened its large mouth and gave a loud howl .

Its howl were as forceful as lions and tigers .

Houuuuuuuuu!

The monkey king's howl was answered by the other monkeys .

The howls created soundwaves which engulfed the surroundings, scattering the winds and clouds along with the dense white fog .

Within seconds, everyone's sights broadened and only then did they realize both sides of the passageway were filled with bandit monkeys; over a thousand bandit monkeys had surrounded the caravan .

They were enormous, the same size as the trees . Some young trees could only reach upto their waists .

In front of the caravan was the monkey king who had an even larger physique, and was boldly sitting on a stone bench . A gray stone wine jar that was as big as a water tank, was lying on its side, giving off a dense fragrance of alcohol .

The monkey king stopped after howling once, but the other bandit monkeys were still howling without stop .

This instead enhanced the monkey king's majesty .

Its eyes were sharp and bright, its gaze tranquil as it sat there without moving . In contrast, those ordinary bandit monkeys were getting restless as they stared at the caravan's goods, itching to have a go .

Wild beasts like monkey, fox and wolves possessed intelligence .

This bandit monkey king's intelligence might only be equal to three year old child and wasn't at the level of cunning lightning wolf, but it was enough for it communicate .

The leader of the caravan, Jia Long, narrowed his eyes at the monkey king and suddenly said: "Jia Yong, go . "

"Yes, chief . " Jia Yong stood up .

He was tall and fat, especially with his bulging stomach, but he was actually rather robust .

He was defensive Gu Master and his lifebound Gu was water armor Gu . He was a rank two Gu Master and was specialized in fighting in water . Once, when he was swimming in a river, he luckily encountered a boat-sized tortoise and killed it, obtaining a tortoise strength Gu from its body . After he used it, he was able to permanently gain the strength of a tortoise .

The monkey groups howled even more fiercely when they saw Jia Yong coming closer, their voices shaking the whole forest .

Jia Yong had a solemn expression as he lifted his sleeves and stood in front of the monkey king .

The monkey king was enormous and even while sitting, it was still taller than Jia Yong by a head .

It looked at Jia Yong and howled; several bandit monkeys immediately brought a stone table while panting hard .

The stone table was as large as a bed and was extremely heavy, producing a muffled sound as it landed on the ground .

Another two bandit monkeys came over and moved a stone stool, placing it in front of the monkey king .

The monkey king slammed at the stone table, the sounds produced was as if he had beaten a large drum .

Jia Yong gulped a mouthful of saliva and sat down . He placed his right elbow on the table and extended his forearm .

The monkey king similarly extended his left hand; two palms tightly grasped each other .

Beside the table was an elderly female bandit monkey who suddenly shouted .
 
Jia Yong and the monkey king heard the signal and immediately put strength in their arms, starting this uncommon style of strength contest .

Bandit monkeys respected strength and arm wrestling was their main social activity . Young monkeys could arm wrestle immediately after being born . Arm wrestling was not only a game for bandit monkeys, it was also commonly used method to resolve disputes .

In the past, the righteous Gu Master Sky Crown Marquis was only a rank five Gu Master, he naturally wasn't able to slaughter the mountain with this strength . It was this armwrestling custom of the bandit monkeys he used to reach the peak of the bandit monkey mountain and win against the monkey emperor . He was then able to obtain the monkey groups' approval and came to an agreement, opening the trade route .

From then on, any caravans that were passing through Fei Hou mountain would follow this agreement and arm wrestle with the bandit monkeys .

If they won, they would obtain the bandit monkeys' approval and be able to pass without paying the toll . If they lost, they would have to let the monkey group take a portion of their goods .

With this, the caravans could carry out their business and the bandit monkeys were also happy to be able to get benefits .

As the years went by and the caravans abided by the agreement, the trade route began to gradually flourish, and the agreement also gradually stabilized .

Jia Yong, sitting opposite the monkey king, was flushed red, his expression was twisted as he was already using all his strength .

However, he still couldn't resist the monkey king's strength, and his arm began to gradually incline to the side until finally the monkey king's arm slammed Jia Yong's arm to the table .

Victory!

Monkey king stood up and excitedly beat his chest with his fists .

The rest of the monkeys were howling and screeching; the noise was frightening .

Jia Yong walked back to the caravan with his head lowered . The bandit monkeys teased and taunted him while he was walking back - some lifted their leather skirt, showing their butts at Jia Yong; some made faces; and some shook their fingers at him .

"To think there would be a day where I am ridiculed by a bunch of beasts…" Jia Yong gave a helpless sigh with a bitter smile on his face .

Jia Long showed no expression, and just raised his hand .

Jia Clan's troops began to move forward, the monkeys flocked towards them and began to wantonly take goods from the wagons .

Jia Clan had already made careful considerations; they covered the high quality coal stones with a layer of colorful and gorgeous silk and thin fabric . The monkeys were all attracted by these colorful cloth, and let go of the more valuable ash-grey high quality coal stones .

The monkeys were very happy with their choices, playing around with the cloths . Many wrapped the cloth around their arms, waists and even draped the cloth over their shoulders; the whole scene was noisy and chaotic .

"Where is Jia Ping?" Jia Long shouted with a heavy voice .

Jia Ping slowly walked out, his body was starkly in contrast to Jia Yong, he was thin as stick and looked extremely fragile .

"I will avenge you . " He patted Jia Yong's shoulder as he walked past him .

"This will naturally be easily over with Brother Jia Ping making a move . " Jia Yong cupped his hands and gave a forced smile .

Jia clansmen let out a breath of relief upon seeing Jia Ping moving out; their expressions clearly easing up .

The bandit monkeys let out odd yells when they saw Jia Ping's physique, their gazes filled with contempt and disdain .

Monkey King was already sitting down, he indifferently lifted the wine jar and drank a mouthful of monkey wine .

"They are indeed animals, judging people by appearances . " Jia Long sneered .

Jia Ping looked weak, but actually possessed strength of two bears . It was just that he used tendon coiling Gu which intertwined his whole muscles and tendons just like tree roots, and thus compressing his muscles .

Jia Ping sat down and stretched his arm .

His arm wasn't even a quarter of the monkey king's arm . However, after they started, the deadlock only lasted a moment before the monkey king was defeated .

Instantly, the howls and screeches of the monkeys stopped .

The monkey king's eyes were opened as wide as saucers, revealing an incredulous expression .

Jia Long chuckled and waved his hand, signalling the troop to continue moving .

The monkeys that were blocking the path automatically made a way and didn't make any moves . When a portion of Jia clan's troops moved forward, the monkeys howled and again blocked the path .

The monkey king wasn't convinced in its loss as it slammed the stone table and challenged Jia Ping .

Jia Ping had a smile on his face as he gained another victory .

"Everyone, I am going to move first . " Jia Long cupped his hands and after calling out to the others, the Jia clan's troops and wagons passed through the checkpoint .

"Alright, next it is my Lin Clan's turn . Lin Dong!" Lin clan's vice leader shouted .

The others didn't argue, they had already discussed the order of the caravan .

Time continued to pass and parts of the caravan had also moved forward .

To pass through the Fei Hou mountain and decrease the losses to the minimum, all the great clans nurtured a lot of specific Gu Masters .

Ox strength, Tiger strength, Elephant strength, Python strength, Horse strength… the Gu Masters possessing these went to compete, each showing their talents; some lost and some won .

Most of the people had passed through the checkpoint . Finally, it was Zhang Clan's turn .

Zhang Zhu didn't look good, he was a healing Gu Master and wasn't good at strength aspect .

Moreover, when arm wrestling with the monkey king, one could only use their strength and not the Gu worms . If they were discovered to have cheated by using Gu worms, they would be attacked and killed by the monkey groups .

The troops Zhang clan brought in this caravan didn't have any other Gu Masters except him, a rank three Gu Master . Thus, they were the weakest in strength in the whole caravan .

Shang Xin Ci did not have an easy life in Zhang Clan, and was shunted aside for being an illegitimate child . The situation had become worse after her mother died of illness .

In light of her mother's will, Shang Xin Ci sold the family assets and organized this caravan .

Most of Zhang Clan's people looked forward to this disgrace of the clan dying outside . Thus, they didn't send any Gu Masters to reinforce her .

"Uncle Zhang Zhu doesn't need to worry too much, they are nothing more than goods, it is okay as long as people are safe . " Shang Xin Ci had a delicate heart, she softly consoled Zhang Zhu when she noticed his expression .

"The only one remaining is Zhang Clan . "

"Tsk, tsk no need to watch, they are sure to lose . I am quite familiar with that Zhang Zhu . "

"It is said that Zhang Clan's girl organized this merchant group by herself . Hence, there is only Zhang Zhu to put up a front .

Many Gu Master stood behind the checkpoint, waiting to see a good show .

They had all, more or less, lost some goods, their mood were naturally not too good .

Comparison produces happiness, the unlucky people often felt relieved by seeing a more unlucky person .

Many were looking at Zhang Clan, trying to find comfort in their hearts .

"Goods can be lost, only lives are truly important . Uncle Zhang Zhu, you don't need to go, we will just let these monkey groups take the goods . " Shang Xin Ci said .

"Sigh, miss, you don't know . We can't pass through without competing, these monkeys are very obstinate, we must arm wrestle . Miss, we can lose but we can't let others belittle us . I will go!" Zhang Zhu cupped his hands and forced himself to walk out .

"Wait, wait!" Right at this time, Fang Yuan walked out of the crowd .

"Miss Zhang, you are my benefactor . Let me be the one to go . " He cupped his hands and said to Shang Xin Ci .

"You?" The servant girl Xiao Die rolled her eyes, "You are not a Gu Master, don't add trouble at this time of crisis!"

Shang Xin Ci smiled: "Hei Tu, I have received your intention . This isn't a joke, the monkey king has great strength, didn't you see some of those Gu Masters' arms fractured?"

"Miss, even if my arms fracture, I will repay you . " Fang Yuan persevered .

"You, how can you be like this, not knowing your limitations . If your arm gets fractured, wouldn't it be my missy who has to waste time healing you?" Xiao Die waved her hand in disgust, "Don't stir trouble . "

"Lady Zhang, you don't know, I have always had extraordinary strength since young, even adults didn't have as much strength as me when I was a kid . I must go this time!" Fang Yuan then turned and walked towards the monkey king .

"Hei Tu!" Shang Xin Ci wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Zhang Zhu .

"Miss, he is not a moron, he definitely has some confidence . Sometimes, we need to believe in others . " Zhang Zhu persuaded .

In fact, he had no faith in Fang Yuan . He only thought this would teach a good lesson to these mortals who had brought him trouble .

"Eh, look, Zhang Clan actually sent out a servant!"

"Haha, Zhang Clan has no people left, they are sending out a servant to lose face?"

Fang Yuan's figure soon attracted the attention of the others .
