Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Meeting the River Monkey Again

I hurriedly shone the weak light of the flashlight in my hand, and my scalp exploded. I saw dozens of river monkeys lying densely on the stone wall facing us. . Seeing this situation, the three who were tied up began to wail: "Shoot them with a crossbow, shoot them quickly, they eat people's brains!" We were terrified by these three people at the same time. Watching them almost screaming and wailing made people feel a little creepy. I believed that they had suffered a big loss in front of this group of river monkeys. The three of them squirmed like silkworm chrysalis and climbed to one side, trying to avoid the direction of the river monkey. Looking around, Lao Zhong and I were completely stunned. Looks like a monster with goosebumps.

Their red eyes are dotted all over the surrounding stone walls, like a pack of wolves in the grassland at night, slowly approaching their prey. Facing this group of monsters, I suddenly had a very bad premonition, an unprecedented feeling filled my surroundings, that feeling seemed to be a kind of anger that had been accumulated for a long time, a cold feeling that I didn't know It swept over my whole body unknowingly, my upper and lower teeth began to tremble non-stop, and my whole body trembled non-stop. Old Zhong looked at me in surprise, I was already shaking so much that I could barely stand upright, barely holding on to the stone wall behind me, my tongue seemed to be ineffective: "I, I, I, it's so cold." Old Zhong's face suddenly changed. Yes, he clearly remembered what happened the last time I shouted cold in the Tomb of the King of Han, and he had more confidence than me in the keen sensitivity of my natural Guiyang Zangyin body.

This group of river monkeys is getting closer and closer, and instead of approaching silently in the past, this time when they surrounded us, they all let out an ugly and low growl, a penetrating sound from the depths of their throats. The threatening voice of Shibi. Just when I was teetering, Lao Zhong suddenly rushed to the top and shouted: "The descendants of Wuzhiqi, call them back!" The voice echoed in the circular stone wall, repeating his words over and over again. Surprisingly, Song Xudong and the Zhao family brothers who were waiting above were silent, not even Zhang Laowa's piercing voice was heard.

I grabbed Lao Zhong suddenly, and when Lao Zhong looked back, the target of those river monkeys was obviously aimed at the three people tied up on the ground. They seemed to want to rush up, but they seemed to be afraid of something.Behind this group of black river monkeys, there is a tall figure, which is far higher than the monsters in front. Judging from the body shape, it is more inclined to be a person crawling on the stone wall.Obviously, these river monkeys are obeying his command, because these river monkeys are no longer as chaotic as they were when they attacked me and Old Liutou before, they actually spread out in an orderly manner like an organized team. an attack sequence.I was dumbfounded when I saw it. This turned out to be the rudiment of the crane wing formation used by ancient infantry to charge in formation. If I hadn't read a few articles of "Taigong Art of War" as an expert, I would never have recognized such an ancient formation.Immediately, a question arose. Even in ancient times, formations were not valued very much, because in ancient China, in the wars where "a good general has a thousand soldiers and a hundred thousand armors", the army commander mainly thinks at the strategic and operational level, and the tactics are still in use. Secondly, at the same time, because Confucianism is respected and culture is more important than martial arts, the study of formations is not paid enough attention to. However, there is a kind of people who must study formations, and that is... generals, because most of the troops of generals are at the level of thousands of people, and generals are also the most direct. As a tactical commander, I have to study the formation carefully. Thinking of this, I suddenly had a bold idea, but I was quickly taken aback by my own idea, and quickly rejected my nonsensical idea.

Damn, the guy in command behind must be a thousand year old monster. Just when I was wandering, a river monkey was the first to lose his composure, and rushed towards the three people on the ground with a sharp whistling sound. Old Zhong pushed it away. Being limp, I reached out and snatched the fine steel crossbow, and heard a shrill scream. The powerful crossbow shot the reckless river monkey out in the blink of an eye, and I heard the sound of hitting the stone wall in the distance. . I looked into the distance in surprise, and a tall figure slowly stood up. Judging from the dark projection, this person not only had a height that was unattainable for a river monkey, but also dragged a long tail behind him.

Tail?That's right, it's a tail, and there is a black shadowy tail between the two legs. After standing up, something like two arms tremblingly stretched out from behind, four arms?What kind of monster is this? I looked at Lao Zhong in amazement, and Lao Zhong's dignified face was also full of surprise and puzzlement. The three guys on the ground seemed to have seen the emissary of hell, Wang Kui shouted loudly: "Old Master Zhong, Uncle Zhong, beat me to death, I don't want to fall into his hands." Old Zhong suddenly turned his head Staring at him: "You've seen him, haven't you?" Before Wang Kui could answer, he heard the monster screaming, just like the angry King Kong in the movie. , the river monkeys in front began to become restless, and in an instant, the two river monkeys that rushed forward were shot away again.

Twelve minus three, he still has nine, I still have twelve in my hand, I was silently calculating the crossbow bolts I could use in my hand, watching the river monkey getting closer and closer, its teeth almost biting into the frame . Old Zhong went up and grabbed Wang Kui: "Tell me quickly, how did you restrain them when you encountered them?" "No, cough, cough, we...we didn't..." Wang Kui was almost out of breath. Before the kid's voice fell to the ground, a shrill whistle suddenly shot up into the sky, as if they had received an order, these monkeys rushed up like a nest exploded.

Hearing the sound, Lao Zhong and I shot the small steel crossbow in the same direction almost at the same time. After two crisp jingling sounds, the two three-edged crossbow bolts firmly penetrated into the smooth stone wall. inside. Missed!We didn't know the situation well, so we quickly dispersed to the side. A big river monkey jumped up and rushed towards them. The landing point happened to be where the three boys were, like a howling cannonball going straight to the three of them. go. My heart tightened, and I was ready to be splashed with flesh and blood, only to hear a louder scream, and the monkey that rushed over flew out sideways, and the old Zhong on the opposite side quickly pulled the spring and filled in a crossbow arrow, without further ado. He said that he shot at the nearest river monkey again.

I was already stupid at that time, until a river monkey bared its teeth and jumped in front of me with its teeth and claws open, I pulled the crossbow trigger, almost hitting the belly of the river monkey and shooting it in. The monkey flew out without any suspense, and I was in bad luck, because there was still a recoil thing, without any mental preparation, I was bounced back several steps by the strong recoil, until I retreated to the stone wall place. After firing the first one, seeing the river monkey that was shot flying, he felt at ease, and immediately filled in the second one, followed Lao Zhong's example and began to shoot.After the river monkeys experienced the initial panic, they soon realized that our firepower was insufficient, and changed from a single tease to a group attack.Afterwards, Lao Zhong concluded that we evolved from "one-on-one" to "group fighting". Although his statement was very unscientific, I had no time to correct him at that time. The gang of river monkeys were about to launch a general attack.

The encirclement became smaller and smaller, and these river-bottom monkeys with a small concave bowl on top of their heads greeted each other and surrounded us with disgusting voices, and the human-like monster behind them also slowly walked up to us. When I came to us, I was taken aback, because if the monster hadn’t grown a weird tail behind it, I would almost have thought it was a person. Although the face was covered with hair, the facial features were distinct and the outline was clear. And it is natural to walk with the hind legs instead of using the front legs from time to time. I gestured a dumb word at Lao Zhong: "Savage?" Lao Zhong gave me a gesture fiercely, but I couldn't understand it. I thought for a long time before I realized that there was no such thing in the official textbooks. It was a slang term for swearing at each other in dumb language... "idiot".

In fact, I didn't allow me to think so much at that time. Under the command of this monster, these river monkeys launched an echelon attack, which was very layered, and they also left a reserve team.Lao Zhong and I held the three unlucky guys behind us, and shot crossbow bolts back to back, and soon ran out of crossbow bolts in our hands, and the injured river monkey became even more mad, almost scratching my face several times Thankfully, I have also practiced... Football, I am not polite at all, I kicked these guys hard, the jeans on my legs were caught in a bad shape, and they were hung red, and the old clock was not idle. The flashlight was like swinging a baseball, beating these guys out one by one. Soon, both of them were a little bit exhausted. I have never seen the old fox so embarrassed. He couldn't breathe well, his hands were shaking, and his clothes were messed up.I didn't get much better, I felt my legs were trembling constantly, and I could hardly stand still. The hateful thing is that the three people behind are still sneering: "I said, brother, don't hold on, hurry up and get us out of here!" Come on, we see that you are tired, and we don't feel sorry for it." Fuck, I was so angry that I was so anxious that I stabbed the paratrooper knife next to Wang Kui's face, almost rubbing Wang Kui's face. The strange thing is that the stone wall was pierced with ease like tofu. went in. Just when I was in a daze, the last big monkey suddenly gave a strange cry, and the rest of the river monkeys also screamed not to be outdone, and began to charge upwards clamoring. Dozens of monsters rushed up together, Lao Zhong and I both smiled wryly, this time must be more ominous than ominous.After rushing forward a few steps, those river monkeys stopped hesitantly and looked up eagerly. Only then did we realize that at some point, it started raining underground, and it was blood rain. Spots of blood were splashed on the face, and the river monkeys, as if they had encountered sulfuric acid, avoided the blood spots falling in the air and retreated a few steps away. The circle we were surrounded by became larger. Just when I was wondering where the blood came from, a familiar sound of the flute came, panting and whimpering, and the monkeys began to lie on the ground and back away slowly, the same as the last time we met. That situation is almost exactly the same. I took a peek at the old clock, his face looked relieved, and three words flashed clearly in my mind: "Old Liutou". Sure enough, it was Old Liutou. He was tied around his waist with a rope, and was slowly hung down. He held the jade flute with both hands and opened and closed his fingers regularly. His face was pale, and there was a long tie on his right hand. The wound was barely bandaged with cloth strips. I exclaimed in surprise: "Mr. Liu!" But he ignored me, and walked forward while playing the jade flute in his hand.Only then did I realize that apart from the river monkeys lying on the ground, there was another one still standing there proudly, watching the old Liu Tou get closer and closer while playing the jade flute.That monster is the leader of the river monkey who I mistook as a "savage". It seems that he is the only one who has no fear of the blood of the old Liutou, and he is the only one who does not move at all when facing the voice of the Nine Dragons Jade Flute, just coldly He watched Lao Liutou walking up to him. Old Willow got closer and closer, and the savage didn't move, until the old man got closer and looked at each other for a long time, the savage turned around slowly, and walked back gently. When turning around, I seemed to hear There was a sigh, long and gloomy.While we all breathed a sigh of relief, the sound of the old man's flute also stopped. Just when I was about to pounce on the old Liutou with joy, I saw a tall black shadow "swish" and hugged him like lightning. He grabbed the old man's head, pulled out the hair on the back of the old man's head with a pair of claws, bared a mouthful of white teeth, opened his mouth and bit down. The incident happened so suddenly, I was the only one who was the closest, and I subconsciously pulled the small steel crossbow in my hand, and the arrow almost shot into the mouth of the savage.I saw that savage suddenly soaring into the air, and was nailed hard into the stone wall behind him. He shot a long crossbow arrow through his mouth, pierced through the back of his head, and directly plunged into the stone wall, while I was hit by the crossbow Face full of gold stars. Touching the warm blood on my face, I suddenly started to yell hysterically after being in shock: "Ah..." A kind of fear of the aftermath mixed with the psychological gap of killing a living creature at close range made me At that moment, his spirit completely collapsed, and he fell into a state of near madness.His head kept shaking, a ghostly scream echoed on the circular stone wall, and his whole body fell into an inexplicable trembling.Without saying a word, Lao Zhong went up and gave me two mouthfuls, and then clamped my head with both hands to make me calm down. After tossing for about ten minutes, my emotions slowly calmed down. When I got down, I felt that the heart in my chest began to respond and started beating. My brain began to function normally, but the next scene shocked me so much that I couldn't find the north. I saw the old Liutou walking next to the savage nailed to the wall by the small steel crossbow, and suddenly collapsed He covered his face and began to sob silently. "Mr. Liu, who is this?" I approached the old man, ready to help him, but Lao Zhong pushed me away, "Go and see those three boys." I saw him squatting gently on the old Liu's head Beside him, began to whisper something softly, Old Liutou nodded or shook his head, forced himself to suppress his voice, but he could still hear Old Liutou's mournful sobs. When I went to see the three boys, I got goosebumps all over my body, because I don’t know when, the face of the Zhao family who had pretended to be dead was densely covered with white rice-shaped bumps the size of needlepoints, and the whole body Already passed out, Wang Kui and Lu Qiang were obviously frightened by the change of the guy beside them, their lips trembled so much that they couldn't even speak. Lao Zhong was also taken aback after being called over by me. He looked carefully at the changes on that guy, and shivered in fright, "It's Chan, we have to go up quickly, and when this kid breaks into a pupa and becomes a moth, nothing will happen to him later." It's late." Then, he opened the eyelids of the two boys next to him, carefully took a picture with the flashlight, and said "Oh" in a voiceless voice, and said to me: "Release them." I looked at him hesitantly, He still asked me to let go of the two of them: "Let go, these three people will have a good life in a few days." When the words fell, the spirits of the two boys collapsed. Slip down. I was just about to help them with my hands, but Old Zhong yelled at me sharply: "What are you doing? You want to die too!" I was so frightened that I had no choice but to cut the rope between the two of them with a paratrooper knife, and the two boys supported themselves with pale faces The wall stood firm. Seeing that they were standing still, Lao Zhong turned his head and went to Lao Liutou. I looked at the two boys with sympathy. broke the hearts of two people. Death is not scary to some people, but if you see someone dying around you, and you can predict that you will die in the same way, that kind of fear is not something ordinary people can bear. There are very few heroes in this world, and those who are afraid of death There are many laymen, and not only am I a layman, but so are they.Lao Zhong quickly persuaded the two people, promising that as long as they help us find the way out of the underground palace, not only will they be able to eradicate the chrysalis poison from their bodies, but they will also be able to save the person who has already had an attack. Just when the two hurriedly agreed, I saw a gleam of light in Lao Zhong's eyes. This look was so familiar, it reminded me a lot. I have always wanted to see why Lao Liutou was crying, like a child who has been wronged. In fact, his unwillingness and depression make people feel depressed. Old Zhong looked at me sternly, so I had no choice but to find something to do and pull out the crossbow arrows that had been shot into the wall.A total of more than 20 crossbow arrows were shot, some pierced into the stone wall, and some were bounced by the stone wall and fell to the ground. Of course, I would not pick up the ones that fell on the ground even if I was killed. Unexpectedly, this pull out revealed an astonishing secret.
