A silver disk-like moon. The earth was illuminated like daylight. Under the leadership of the Monkey King's golden cloak, the Savage Monkeys were leaping through the canopy of trees by the light of the moon.

The Great White Tooth did not know where the Monkey King was taking them, no matter where they were going, one thing was for sure, that was the need for him, a soldier monkey, to charge into battle. He was happy to go to war, and as soon as there was a battle he became the focus of attention of all the monkeys, he liked the feeling of being valued or looked up to, and he liked the feeling of being surrounded by other monkeys in the middle of the stars. The king of the monkeys, the golden cloak, was in a desperate situation before he led the monkeys to venture to the mammoth cliff in the middle of the night. He had to deal with this evil eagle that ate monkeys. The golden monkeys live in the high canopy, on the ground activities of carnivorous beasts who want to eat monkeys can not eat, can only sigh in hope of monkeys. Even good climbing leopards, lynx, golden cats, snakes, and so on, it is difficult to climb to the top of the canopy to hunt, and the monkeys have a sentinel monkey system, 24 hours a day there are sentinels standing guard, found the enemy immediately will whistle alarm, enjoy the reputation of flying monkeys golden monkeys will instantly flee without a trace, predators can only return to no avail. For several years, the Savage monkeys lived in peace. But then the storm clouds changed and disaster struck from the sky. This is an eagle, the local mountain people called the black eagle, also do not know where to move over, 4 months ago suddenly appeared in the sky of the Rizhuka snow mountain. This eagle black body, claws, and beak golden, but the head is distinctive dark green, so-called the green-headed eagle. The eagle is a large raptor, with wings spread two meters, a sharp beak, and claws, fierce and unusual. In the beginning, the green-headed eagle came to capture a golden monkey every ten days or so, which was a heavy loss for the Savage monkeys, but still within the tolerable range. For wild animals, natural and man-made disasters and unnatural attrition are always inevitable. But two months later, the frequency of monkey hunting by vicious eagles became higher and higher, once every seven days, once every five days, once every three days ...... developed to the point that in the last half month, a tragic incident of a monkey in the mouth of an eagle had to occur every two days. There is no second eagle in the sky, and every time the green-headed eagle gets a hand immediately grabs the golden monkey's head not back to the Rizhuka snow peak to fly away. From these phenomena, it was easy to judge that the green-headed eagle was a female eagle that was nursing her chicks. The savage monkeys were in a huge survival crisis. If this goes on, in a few months, the entire group of Savage monkeys will be killed and eaten out.

As the king of the monkeys, he had a unshirkable responsibility for the survival of the population and had to find a way to reverse the extinction of the population. He was unable to fight against the green-headed eagle, so he had to find another way. To observe the flight path of the green-headed eagle, he has taken two of his cronies to sneak quietly to the snowy peak of Rituqa reconnaissance, to find out the specific location of the nest, but also to see that the nest does have two half chicks, large chicks, racking his brain for two days, finally came up with an idea, that is, while the green-headed eagle is not at home when deep into the nest, to destroy the two are growing larger chicks. Doing so could not solve the problem at the root, but 3-2=1 could effectively reduce the eagle's food demand so that it no longer had to come every other day to catch a golden monkey. This is the best way the monkey king can think of to ease the survival crisis of the Savage Monkeys.

Everything as expected, when the sun rose from the snowy peak of Rizhuka, the green-headed eagle out of the nest, standing in the middle of the crag like the tip of the mammoth's nose on the abrupt rock, a magnificent shake of the wings, let the white morning breeze scrub the residue of the night between the feathers, and then steadily stomp legs, flying up into the blue sky. When the green-headed eagle's robust figure disappeared in the white clouds colored by the haze, the king of the monkeys, the golden cloak, immediately led the monkeys to climb from the back of the mountain to the top of the mammoth-like head. From the top of the mountain to the carving nest, there is more than ten meters long cliff, but this is difficult to defeat the golden monkeys, all the adult male monkeys hanging upside down body, I hold your waist, you hold my waist, forming a peculiar "monkey ladder", along the cliff like a mammoth nose, from the top of the mountain has been hanging to the tip of the rock and about two meters high place. The big white teeth, a soldier monkey, stepped on the long monkey ladder and jumped lightly into the nest. At this point in the nest of two young eagles, a red-billed shell, and a yellow-billed shell, the whole body is purple and dazzling, a few hard feathers have grown on the wings, and at most a few months, they will be able to soar in the blue sky to become a predator of golden monkeys devil. Things are not as simple as the Great White Tooth imagined. When he pinched the red-billed shell's neck, the red-billed shell flapped its wings and smacked his face, and raised a claw to grab his chest, while the other young eagle, the yellow-billed, kept calling for help to the distant mother with a shrill fledgling voice. After all, the young eagle can't fly yet, he still has the upper hand in the end, two monkey claws twist hard, click a slight crunch, red beak shell became a broken neck eagle. Then soon the yellow-billed shell also stopped resisting and let out a desperate wail. He pushed hard and dropped the half-dead yellow-billed shell from the nest of boat-shaped eagles. The mission was complete, and he could evacuate the carving nest. He glanced at the green-headed eagle, which was still flying like a large beetle among the white clouds in the distance, as it wailed in grief and anger from the sky. He was sure he could escape to the top of Mammoth Bluff by following the long monkey ladder before the green-headed eagle flew overhead. He was ready to jump up to climb the monkey ladder, but was shocked to find that the wall was empty, the long monkey ladder that would allow him to escape was gone! The monkey king must have seen the green-headed eagle flying back to the mammoth cliff, fearing bloody retaliation, left him and fled with the monkeys. He had been betrayed! Betrayed by the Monkey King's golden cape! Betrayed by the Savage Monkeys! He destroyed two fledgling eagles for them, and they threw him to his death! The sky resounded with the mournful whistle of the eagles, and the huge wings of the eagles, like a horrible net, were rapidly coming down on the Great White Teeth. He closed his eyes and waited for the final moment to come.

Yo-oh, suddenly, a monkey whistle came from overhead. Out of an instinctive reaction, the Great White Tooth opened his eyes and looked up, surprised to find a golden monkey, lying on the top of the Mammoth Cliff, with half of its body sticking out of the cliff, eagerly roaring at him, Yo-oh, Yo-oh, that was the golden monkey's characteristic alarm whistle, warning him of the approaching danger! He could see clearly that the golden monkey lying on the top of the mammoth mountain had two golden bands of hair embedded between the towering black hairs on its forehead, like a phoenix crown, and it was the queen of the Savage Monkeys, the Blue Butterfly! In an instant, Great White Teeth's self-esteem was activated. He is not an ordinary golden monkey, he is the top heavenly soldier monkey, the most beautiful female monkey of the savage monkey group is watching him, he can never do anything like this and wait for the green-headed eagle to eat itself. Although with the green-headed eagle to kill, the golden monkey, is undoubtedly to hit the stone with an egg, but the stone has the hardness of stone, the egg has self-respect of the egg, and he also has to try to show courage to break the bone. The green-headed eagle has flown over the eagle's nest, carrying a fishy wind that suffocates the Great White Tooth, and the two Thucydides' claws come towards the Great White Tooth. He had nowhere to dodge, and he did not want to dodge, to meet this deadly grasp, he jumped upward, and the eagle's claws grabbed his legs, and in the same instant, his two arms circled the eagle's neck. The green-headed eagle was frightened, flapping its wings and flying into the sky. The big white teeth only heard the wind whistling in his ears, his body involuntarily rose in the air. The green-headed eagle screamed in anger and used its beak to peck and bite the face of the big white teeth. The big white teeth around the neck of the eagle desperately bite the eagle's shoulder blade. The beak curved like an iron hook in the back of his head and pecked out several bloody holes. He was spinning in pain, but still tenaciously gnawed at the scapula of the eagle. The eagle's scapula was so hard that he bit into it several times and his mouth was full of eagle feathers and salty eagle blood, but the wings were still flapping steadily. The green-headed eagle used the other eagle claw to tear his legs, and he felt that both of his legs were like dismantling parts, paws, calves, and thighs, were quickly torn apart. The sky looked like it was raining red, spilling bright blood in drips and drops. His body was getting weaker and weaker, and he was bleeding dry. He was exhausted, the pain had long been numbed, producing extreme fatigue and wanting to close his eyes and sleep. He thought, the green-headed eagle is too powerful, he is too small, no matter how can not achieve the purpose of the same death. He was discouraged, desperate, and wanted to give up. Just then, he overheard the blue butterfly lying on the top of the Mammoth Cliff, looking up at him, he was grabbed by the green-headed eagle in the air, looking down from the air [1], he saw, the empty Mammoth Clifftop, only the blue butterfly a monkey, he suddenly had a sense of happiness in his heart, he was not completely abandoned by the savage monkeys, the most beautiful queen blue butterfly accompanied him, he will never be He would never be alone. He burst out with a sense of pride, the rest of his life coalesced in his teeth, and bit the shoulder blades of the green-headed eagle, his teeth broke one by one, and he still bit like mad. His big name is Big White Teeth, with a set of strong teeth rare in the group of golden monkeys, incomparably sharp and powerful. Click, came the sound of broken carving bones, he found that the green-headed eagle lost balance, one wing desperately flapping, the other wing but limp drooping down, in the air gyroscopically spinning, and fell straight down ...... let the great white teeth feel relieved that the blue butterfly saw how he bit off the evil eagle wings. He likes to be in the limelight and enjoys the feeling of being valued, looked up to, or admired.

In the Savage Monkeys of the Gaoligong Mountains, there have been five soldier monkeys in history, and these five soldier monkeys ended up in the same way as the Great White Tooth, all without exception sacrificed on the battlefield. The Great White Tooth sacrificed the most heroic and brought the most significant benefits to the Savage Monkeys. The blue butterfly brought the body of the Great White Tooth back to the forest, found a hole in a gnarled tree, and stuffed the Great White Tooth inside, with its long tail hanging outside the hole, like a tombstone. This is a unique tree burial for golden monkeys, only the king of the monkeys can enjoy the sublime mourning, the Savage Monkeys with a special funeral to commemorate this outstanding soldier monkey. Blue butterfly in doing this, the monkey king golden cloak always stern face in a silent watch, neither out to stop, nor to help.
