บท 99: The Start of the Dragon Hunt!

The chimps gathered around, watching Arad. He grabbed the tiny chip and climbed the tree. ^Here is your damn kid," Arad dropped the kid beside his mother.

The chimps were smart, more than other animals in the forest. {They can't win. They are waiting to see what you do.}

^What can I do?^ Arad asked. He can't speak the chimp language.

{It's simple, show your teeth and growl. That will be a challenge to the leader.}

^Is see,^ Arad glared at the chimps, his teeth opal white as he growled with a crackling voice. Unlike the chimps, he sounded more like a monster.

The chimps backed away, and only one of them approached Arad. ^He's the leader?^

{Yes, but he seems to have given up,}

The chip sat on the branch, throwing apples at Arad. ^Can I go now?^

{Take the apples and leave. They should start offering fruits from time to time, and they will respond to your call.}
