Wild Monkey Chase

After chasing the red monkey for 5 minutes through seemingly endless tunnels and not getting even an inch closer, Sol gritted his teeth.

"You're fast, you little shit. But I'll catch you eventually, and when I do, I'll cook you up and make a kabob out of your little monkey balls!"

Sol said, enraged by the annoyingly swift creature.

The monkey gave no signs of reaction, but after Sol said this, it suddenly began to run even faster, leaving Sol in the dust out of nowhere.

"Wha--hey! I was just kidding! Come back here! I won't make you into a kabob!" Sol retorted at that moment, "I'll just grill you whole!"

What was happening back in the main dungeon room? Who knew... Sol didn't know, and he didn't care either.

All he was focused on was the egg. Even after half an hour of chasing, whilst Sol was panting from exhaustion--his lungs burning like they were on fire--the red monkey gave no signs of stopping.
