Just as Hookwolf has managed to use his blades to cut through the vines, the monkey punches him with enough force that he soars through the air and, on the way, manages to spot the the bots and golems Silica's remotely controlling. He decides that running is the better part of valor and bolts.

The monkey goes after him, but then notices the same thing Hookwolf did and goes after the minions instead.
