Chapter 181: Soothing touch (1/2)

Before all that information reached him, Michu ventured deeper into the monkey lands. He found himself at home, and his race screamed with happiness for visiting this place.

Alas, the polluted air diminished the excitement, and Michu seriously trod within the jungle.

At some point, Michu stumbled upon the village belonging to the monkey race.

The monkeys were going around hunched in their humanoid forms.

Their tails were down and dragged by their weak bodies... Their skin looked rough, and the dark circles vividly spread below their eyes.

If KongFu were here, he probably would've felt the indescribable pain swelling within his heart.

Michu could taste just a little of it, and he wasn't feeling content in the slightest, even if he could feel a little of KongFu's feelings.

He entered the village and extended his toward the old grandma.

He supported her and asked, ”Where is your house? I can carry you here.”

The old lady turned her eyes slowly toward Michu and looked at his face with palpable shock within her irises. She felt like the monkey prince, or at least the grandson of their monkey god, KongFu, had descended upon them.

No, this prince was looking far better than their previous gods!

No hint of suspiciousness nor danger transpired on her face as she nodded and thanked Michu, ”Just a few houses away.”

After the directions had been told, Michu took grandma onto his back and slowly carried her here amidst other monkeys in need.

Once Michu put the lady to the bed, he reached for her forehead and said, ”Has the poison killed someone already?” He wanted to know the casualties and their numbers.

As for the grandma, she didn't answer immediately.

Michu's hand was cold, and it soothed the pain she had been feeling for a long time. Therefore, the lady took her time, and Michu would never urge her or force her to speak! But seeing her relieved state and that some proper colors returned to her old face, Michu didn't dare to take away his hand and looked over the system messages.

Those flashed with good news!

[Your race can freeze the effects of The Snake Goddess' Poison.]

”The Snake Goddess...” Michu mumbled, then recalled KongFu's words.

By this time, the old grandma parted her lips, ”We haven't suffered many casualties... It's just that she is torturing us... After her plot went well and charmed our leader, she killed him mercilessly, then used his son as a toy. Son faced the same death later on, and... we are under her rule...”

”Thank you,” Michu nodded and took away his hand.

[Your soothing and divine touch will last for 24 hours.]

[23:59:10]

”Great!” Michu's elated voice brought faint laughter from the old grandma.

She asked, ”How long?”

”Just 24 hours, but I will fix it soon!” Michu explained and stood up.

For the remainder of the day, he visited every house and helped the villagers. From the old to the youngest, his hand landed on every forehead, where he spread his soothing effect of the future monkey god.

[You have received new believers.]

As the night approached, Michu reached out for Venomous to prepare for a plan.

He explained the situation, and her words were as such.

[Venomous: Let me infiltrate her lands then.]

[Michu: Would that be okay? I don't want monkeys to suffer more.]

[Venomous: If I appear before her, she will get suspicious, and who knows what she will do. I don't think she would find a connection to you or monkeys, but I won't risk it nonetheless. I want to infiltrate and learn the hierarchy, then I will think of a better plan.]

Yumi wouldn't risk anything, so the talk with 'her mother' wouldn't happen before the final battle.

She reassured her fiance and notified her party of her tomorrow's day.

For tomorrow, The Snake would become the spy!

-

Yumi was the second person to leave Michu's portal and appear in the monkey village.

Although she made sure not to appear before anyone as who knew what would occur due to her race, Michu was also keeping an eye on it.

He took her into his arms and jumped across the trees.

Her white hair was like the embodiment of freedom as it smoothly flew around under Michu's guidance.

She chuckled and closed her eyes, ”This air is kinda perfect for me.”

”It's polluted.”

”I am The Snake.”
