[Transferring new information to the host in 1...2...3..]
Suddenly, Ji Yen felt some new information appearing in his head. It was the method of understanding the demoncbeast language. Every graded Demon Beasts are intelligent creatures. So they will eventually understand the language.
After digesting the information, Ji Yen flew in the air and headed right side of his territory.
As he flew past many area, he saw many animals. Some of them he did not even recognize.
Some were fighting, some were just eating.
As he kept flying, out of nowhere, he saw a familiar bird. More specifically, he saw a sparrow. It was one of his siblings, his parents took away.
Ji Yen thought for a moment, decided not in interact with it.
So he flew past the little sparrow and continued his journey towards the demon monkey's area.
About 30 minutes of flying at slower rate, Ji Yen saw a part of the forest.
It was filled with taller trees than other near parts of the forest. And it was also way denser than Ji Yen's territory.
Ji Yen enters the territory and kept flying towards a specific tree. The tree, he was heading for, was the biggest and the tallest in the territory of the demon monkey. It was the home of the demon monkey.
He kept approaching towards the tree.
When he was about 300 meters away from the tree, Ji Yen felt the breath or aura of a demon beast. At the same on the tree, a huge monkey was sleeping on one of the branches. The monkey was about 2 meters tall, about twice the size of Ji Yen. It's whole body was covered in black fur, with some small red lines on its back. The tail was also covered with red fur.
The monkey suddenly opened its eyes and turned to looked away from the tree. As it looked away, it saw a big bird flying towards its home (the tree). It also felt the aura from the bird.
The monkey, seeing the bird flying towards it home, let out a loud roar to warn it. The warning roar was to let the bird know that the area was under its control. It was warning it to leave.
Ji Yen, hearing the loud warning roar, also let out a sharp shrill. But the sound of Ji Yen was more of a friendly one. He was greeting the monkey. He was letting it know that he is a friend, not foe.
Ever since Ji Yen reached the 1st grade realm, his chirping was not chirping anymore. It was more like a sound of hawk. His whole body was more like a hawk, except for the name 'Wind Chasing Sparrow'.
When the demon monkey heard the sound of Ji Yen's friendly greeting, it was confused.
From what it had seen or heard, if a demon beast entered the territory of another demon beast, it is seen as a form of declaration of war. So, the friendly sound was the first time it was hearing.
But the demon monkey did not let down its guard. It stood at the top of the tree with its arms crossed on his chest. Proudly showing its dominating manner.
As Ji Yen was approaching the tree, he saw the monkey's action.
When he saw the action of the monkey, Ji Yen knew he must not appear weaker than it. If he appears weaker than the other party, an alliance might not be possible.
So, he also emitted his fearsome aura of 1st grade demon beast. And to gain a more advantage, he used the Wind Step and appeared in front of the monkey in seconds.
When Ji Yen stopped in front of the monkey, all the force of air he brought hit the monkey. Even though it looked like a great force, the monkey only took a step back.
But the monkey did not show any anger. It knew what happened was just a form test. For both of them.
After that, Ji Yen landed on the tree branch.
Then, both the bird and the monkey looked at each other. Neither of them back down the gaze of challenge.
The stand off lasted for 5 minutes. They only ended it after knowing that non of them would back down.
After the tension, Ji Yen start speaking in the demon beast language. "I am a protector from the next territory. You can say I am a neighbor."
Hearing Ji Yen speaking in demon beast language, the monkey was surprised. He knows demon beast language. But he can not speak it. He heard that only some high level demon beasts or demon beasts with high intelligence can speak it. That's why it was so surprised when it heard the demon beast language from Ji Yen. It thought Ji Yen must be a high intelligence demon beast.
Seeing the surprised face, Ji Yen let out an inner smile. But he continued what he was saying. "I am here to form an alliance with you."
Then he waited for the monkey's answer.
The monkey, hearing about forming an alliance, showed some hand gestures and other actions.
Ji Yen knew what it was saying. It was saying that it did not want to form an alliance. It does not need the bird's help.
Seeing the monkey's action, Ji Yen dropped a bomb. "Your neighbor, the wolves, will invade your territory in fee days."
The monkey put on an arrogant posture saying it will take those stupid wolves all by itself.
Then Ji Yen said. "If the wolves were to have the same strength as before, maybe you could take them on by yourself. But now, they gained another two half grade 1 warriors. You can not defend your territory by yourself anymore."
Hearing the words, the monkey fell silent.
Ji struck the iron while its hot. "How about you and I form an alliance. When you are in danger, I will help you. And if I am in danger, you help me. Of course, you don't need to sacrifice your life for it. How about that?"
Even after that, the monkey still showed some hesitation.
But Ji Yen did not saying anything and waited patiently. He knows the monkey will eventually agree to it. It doesn't want to lose the territory, it worked hard to obtain.
Moments later, the monkey nodded. It agreed to form an alliance.
After conversing with the monkey for sometime, Ji Yen decided to leave.
When he was about to fly away, the monkey suddenly waved his hand to stopped him.
Puzzled, Ji Yen turned to look.
