# Chapter 452: Big Brother is Here?
The white-haired ape was stunned for a moment!
This was their gesture of submission to the leader!
It was very serious, alright?
Not asking you for stuff! Acting like this makes us feel so awkward!
But as soon as he saw the Dali Water in his hand, the white-haired ape's eyes lit up, and he got so excited that his white fur stood on end!
A gift from the divine?
And so many bottles?
So! All those sandbag beatings weren't for nothing!
Finally got the reward, huh?
He couldn't help but give Jiangnan a thumbs up!
He lowered his body, signaling Jiangnan to get on his shoulder, and kept turning his head back to raise his eyebrows!
Jiangnan was stunned!
Was he going to take him to see something good?
What good stuff? Core fragments? Awesome!
He teleported onto the white-haired ape's shoulder without hesitation: "Everyone follow!"
The white-haired ape stood up, pounded his chest, and roared, leading over three hundred ape小弟 toward the base camp at full speed!
The momentum was grand, and he looked every bit the ape king!
The volunteers were completely dumbfounded!
"What the hell? The whole ape clan recognized Nan Shen as their big brother?"
"How... how did he do that? I'm totally impressed!"
"In all these years since spiritual energy revived, this has never happened before!"
"Is Nan Shen going to start a new trend of humans taming spirit beasts?"
They were utterly shocked. Everything happening before their eyes was beyond comprehension!
Nobody knew that what happened today would, to some extent, lead the entire era forward!
Wu Liang grinned: "There's a lot you don't know yet!"
"Back when the spirit beasts in Thousand Island Lake were still Bronze and Silver level, Nan Ge had already bullied every single one of them!"
Everyone shuddered!
The volunteers' minds were still in a daze, not understanding how Jiangnan had become the ape king!
But they still quickly followed, wanting to see what was going on!
...
In the cave, Four Eyes was whimpering and sobbing. The stares from the silverback gorillas around him were terrifying!
They really were like steel knives scraping bones!
They were cracking their knuckles!
Death wasn't scary! Waiting for death was the scariest part!
I feel so unsafe right now!
Qin Shou curled his lip: "What are you crying for? Are you even a man? It's just a beating!"
Four Eyes panicked: "The fuck do you mean 'just a beating'? At a time like this, stop trying to act tough!"
Ye Xinghe said bitterly: "Looks like that white-haired ape went to pick up his big brother!"
Qi Yu's face turned pale: "The white-haired ape's big brother? Wouldn't he be even bigger? Could his fists flatten a person?"
Four Eyes's face went white, and he was trembling like a sieve!
"No no no! I'd rather have the white-haired ape! If his big brother comes, they won't need to take turns. One punch and I'm done!"
Just then!
Excited roars came from outside the cave. Everyone panicked!
The big brother was here!
...
Jiangnan sat on the white-haired ape's shoulder!
The white-haired ape pointed at the cave, looking proud!
Jiangnan swallowed: "Good stuff? In the cave? Is it core fragments?"
The white-haired ape nodded proudly and led Jiangnan into the cave!
Jiangnan rubbed his hands excitedly!
Core fragments? How much money would that be worth?
They went all the way to the deepest part of the cave!
Jiangnan stared at the ten people pinned to the ground and instantly froze!
This... this is the fucking good stuff you were talking about?
At that moment, Yu Qingqing and the others, who had been captured, stared at Jiangnan sitting on the white-haired ape's shoulder, their eyes nearly popping out!
Yu Qingqing: Σ(Ŏ口Ŏ|||)
Lin Yu: =͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇)
Du Yue: (*ﾟﾛﾟ)!!
Nan Shen? How could it be Nan Shen?
Jiangnan was the big brother the white-haired ape went to pick up?
How could he be the big brother of the whole ape group?
This was a Gold-level ape group!
At this moment, everyone's minds went blank from shock!
Nan Shen, sitting boldly on the white-haired ape's shoulder, looked so domineering!
Four Eyes was going crazy. Since he was being held down, he couldn't see what was happening behind him!
"What's wrong? Is the big brother here? Are his fists big?"
"Why are you all making that face? Say something!"
The others' bodies were stiff, and they nodded mechanically!
Qin Shou and the others freaked out!
How strong must this big brother be to scare them speechless?
The white-haired ape set Jiangnan down in front of Four Eyes and even pushed Jiangnan forward!
Clearly, he wanted Jiangnan to start the beating!
Four Eyes: !!!
It's over, it's over! I'm done for!
Jiangnan's face darkened: "Are you serious? Aren't you going to let them go?"
Qin Shou and the others froze when they heard Jiangnan's voice!
Nan Shen? Nan Shen was here?
What was going on?
The white-haired ape looked confused!
Jiangnan said darkly: "They're all my friends!"
Who would've thought that Ye Xinghe and the others, who an hour ago were shouting about sweeping through Duck Pear Island, would end up captured here!
Good thing he came!
Otherwise, they'd be beaten until they were doing backflips on the Naihe Bridge!
The white-haired ape was puzzled, but he didn't dare disobey Jiangnan's orders. He commanded his subordinates to release Four Eyes and the others!
Jiangnan covered his face: "Back then, I only asked you guys to help with the beatings because I was tired!"
"And you guys? You got addicted to it, didn't you? Turning it into a custom or something?"
The white-haired ape crouched on the ground, holding his head in grievance!
We... we just wanted to get gifts, alright? We wanted to drink Dali Water!
Ye Xinghe and the others were completely confused by the scene!
Was this for real?
Jiangnan? Jiangnan was their big brother?
Was this world so crazy?
The white-haired ape, who had been so arrogant just moments ago, was so obedient in front of Jiangnan?
"I'm lost!"
"Nan Shen! You're finally here! You scared me to death just now!"
"I just want to ask how you became their big brother!"
"Like big brother, like little brother... makes sense!"
Jiangnan rolled his eyes: "You've got nerve talking? You messed up, didn't you? I told you the spirit beasts here were savage!"
Ye Xinghe and the others blushed. This wasn't just messing up—they'd fallen into a ditch!
The group left the cave!
Wu Liang and the others were stunned to see that Jiangnan hadn't brought back core fragments but had instead brought out Ye Xinghe and the others!
"How were you guys inside?"
Everyone covered their faces: "Don't ask! We have dignity!"
This was a nightmare experience!
At that moment, the white-haired ape and his group were still reluctantly staring at the sandbags, looking eager to try!
Jiangnan was speechless. He slapped the white-haired ape hard on the back of the head!
"From now on, if you want Dali Water, just ask me directly. No more catching people and making them line up for beatings in the cave, got it?"
The white-haired ape swallowed and nodded blankly!
From now on, he wouldn't have to beat sandbags to get Dali Water?
There was such a good thing in the world?
The volunteers watching were dumbfounded. He really was like a big brother scolding his小弟!
How was he this strong?
"Oh yeah, you guys were the ones sending out the stone slabs, right? Did Xiong Er tell you to do that?"
"Where's Xiong Er?"
The white-haired ape got excited again, pounding his chest and pointing toward the back mountain!
That was also where the spiritual energy was densest!
Jiangnan's eyes sparkled. He teleported onto the white-haired ape's shoulder!
"Xiong Er is over there? Quick! Take us there!"
Ye Xinghe and the others watched the scene speechlessly!
Could these apes really understand human speech? And they even used tactics?
"What the hell is going on in Thousand Island Lake?"
"Did you guys notice some spirit beasts here are really smart?"
"Strange! Oh yeah, who's this Xiong Er that Nan Shen keeps talking about?"
Xia Yao snickered: "Wu Liang's nickname is Xiong Da. What do you think?"
