Chu Tian saw it was about to die and took a step forward.
Just as he was about to check on it.
*Swish...*
The creature sprang up and leaped back again.
*Squawk... Ooh-ooh-ooh...*
It started flailing about again.
Chu Tian stopped in his tracks. This thing had appeared suddenly.
Its behavior was even stranger, leaving everyone baffled for a moment.
However, it seemed to mean no harm.
He wondered if there were any other companions around.
"Diandian... what's wrong... Diandian..."
As Chu Tian was pondering, Nie Yun's cry suddenly rang out.
This startled everyone greatly.
Diandian, in Nie Yun's arms, began to convulse, frothing at the mouth.
Chu Tian thought, "Here it comes, what I feared."
He quickly stepped forward, pinched Diandian's mouth open, and inserted a chopstick horizontally for her to bite down on.
This was to prevent her from biting her tongue during the convulsions.
"Chu Tian... what should we do?" Nie Yun cried, tears streaming down her face.
Having lost her anchor, she grabbed Chu Tian's clothes and asked.
Chu Tian thought, "How would I know what to do?"
At this moment, he didn't know what to say.
If he were to comfort her by saying it would be fine, Diandian's condition didn't look like it.
But if he said it was serious, Nie Yun might become even more heartbroken.
*Squawk... Ooh-ooh...*
The strange monkey let out another cry.
It clapped its hands as if laughing.
"You beast..." Old Yang raised his spear, ready to drive it away.
Chu Tian quickly pulled him back.
He stood up, his brow furrowed.
Just now, this monkey had been lying on the ground, convulsing and frothing at the mouth.
Wasn't that exactly like Diandian's current state?
Could it be...
His eyes lit up at this thought.
He took a step forward, squatted down, and asked the monkey.
"Were you trying to tell us that she was about to have an episode, weren't you?"
*Squawk... Ooh-ooh...*
The monkey let out a series of calls and hopped about.
It patted its own head with its palm.
Then, it pointed at Diandian, and then at Chu Tian.
More precisely, it pointed at the banana in Chu Tian's hand.
"You want this?"
Chu Tian held the banana up in front of him.
"Chu Tian, this is just a greedy beast. You should come and look at Diandian."
"Think of a way to save this child..."
Old Yang also realized the monkey was here for food.
It was likely attracted by the smell when Chu Tian took out the banana.
Chu Tian thought, "Damn it..."
He knew that if this seed were taken outside, it could secure a lifetime of wealth and honor in any city.
The ability to sense the Qi of heaven and earth on this sea of death was incredibly desirable.
Being able to sense the Qi of heaven and earth meant one could become a priest.
Any priest would be highly sought after.
However, on the entire sea of death, the number of priests could be counted on one's fingers.
Yet, before him, Chu Tian showed no greed for this item.
"Thank you..." Nie Yun said to Chu Tian.
*Squawk-squawk... Ooh-ooh...*
As they were marveling, the monkey suddenly became impatient.
It let out a series of sounds.
"It's asking if we want to eat it. If so, we need to hurry, it was just dug up and the spiritual energy will dissipate soon!"
Diandian translated weakly.
Chu Tian also noticed that the faint glow on the seed had dimmed considerably.
He quickly nodded.
Nie Yun also brought Diandian, whom she was holding, forward.
However, the monkey seemed unwilling.
It had heard that this seed was of great value in the eyes of these people.
Its eyes rolled, and it began to gesture to Chu Tian.
*Squawk-squawk... Ooh-ooh...*
After gesturing, it tilted its head and looked at Diandian.
Its meaning was clear: "You translate!"
But Diandian showed reluctance.
"Diandian, what is it saying?"
Diandian hesitated!
*Squawk-squawk... Ooh-ooh...* The monkey began to urge Diandian.
Chu Tian also said to Diandian, "It's okay, you can say it!"
He had a suspicion in his heart.
"It... says it wants ten bunches of bananas, and also, Uncle Chu Tian's peach juice, at least five bottles."
"But... that's Diandian's favorite drink! Diandian doesn't want to exchange it!"
As soon as she spoke, Chu Tian smiled.
Even Old Yang and Nie Yun chuckled.
It turned out the little girl was unwilling to part with the peach juice.
