Chapter 212: The Great Battle of the Monkeys
Listening to Zhang Yingjian's words, Cui Yawen followed silently, Duan Chen didn't care about the calculations of these two people, just talking to Xiaoyu.
"Master, is it really the hair left by the beast?" Xiao Yu asked as he looked at Duan Chen with some strange eyes.
Duan Chen nodded and said to her: "Although these two people are cowardly, their vision is still good, after all, they are from the Chinese Academy of Sciences! Those hairs should have been rubbed off when the beast was itching on the tree, I think it might be monkey hair!"
Thinking of the little monkey he had met before stealing snacks, Xiao Yu was even more strange: "Why does it crawl halfway up the tree and tickle?"
"It's not half a climb!" Duan Chen shook his head and said to her in a deep voice: "It should be a big monkey, standing under the tree and rubbing!"
"Big monkey!" Xiao Yu looked incredulous, thinking about the position where he saw the golden retriever just now, and a scene of a big monkey rubbing an itch on a tree came to mind, only where his back can't be scratched will he rub on the tree, but to rub his back at such a high place, how big is the big monkey?
"Master, you're talking about an orangutan, right? There are gorillas on Phoenix Mountain? This is the first time I've heard of it!" Xiao Yu said to Duan Chen with a look of sudden realization.
Duan Chen shrugged his shoulders and said to her, "It shouldn't be an orangutan, otherwise the strength shouldn't be so small, it is estimated that it can rub off all the bark!" Judging from the hair just now, it should be monkey hair, a relatively tall monkey!"
A monkey more than two meters tall? Xiao Yu really had never seen such a creature, smiled bitterly, and was even more curious in his heart, what is the secret place in the back mountain? Why is there such a creature?
"Look here!" Duan Chen suddenly pointed to a nearby wetland and said to Xiao Yu. It is supposed to be a small puddle of dew, and at the edges, there is a complete animal footprint composed of dirt and leaves, but unlike the footprints of other animals, this footprint is a bit like a human foot, but the thumb and the other four toes are very separated, and the heel is relatively thin, but the area is very large, twice the size of an adult!
This is indeed the footprints left by a big monkey! It seems that it should be the boss of the little monkey last night, there is such a huge monkey king, and the size of the monkey group must not be small, no wonder the little monkey will be so arrogant! Only now, where have they gone?
"There!" Standing on a big rock, Zhang Yingjian looked out from a place with fewer branches and leaves above his head, and saw a mountain peak not far ahead, and halfway up the mountainside, there was a ring-shaped cave, like someone made an OK gesture.
"That cave is so big, it used to be the secret realm of the back mountain?" Xiao Yu looked in that direction with some disbelief, the entrance to this secret realm is also a little too big, right? It is estimated that the plane can drive over!
Zhang Yingjian shook his head and said to her: "That's just a landmark! Right next to that big ring, there is a cave, and if you go there, it's the real secret realm of the back mountain! Now it's blocked by trees, you can't see it, and you'll see it when you go up!"
Wangshan ran a dead horse. Originally, they looked at the big ring in front of them, but they walked for an hour to arrive, and Duan Chen and Xiaoyu saw a cave nearly three meters high and five meters wide not far from the side!
Now that the entrance of the cave has been observed for a while, Duan Chen found a small stream next to the entrance of the cave, and he did not notice any danger around, so he beckoned Xiaoyu to come over and said to her: "You just wait here, the water here is very clean and can be drunk raw, if I haven't come out by this time tomorrow, you can take the two of them down the mountain!"
"Master, I want to go in with you......" Xiao Yu said to Duan Chen with a pout.
Duan Chen shook his head and said, "Even if I let you follow, you won't be able to enter!" This place is closed during the day, there are things in the way, and it can only be opened at night, but there will be wild beasts coming in and out, and it will be very dangerous for you to enter at that time!"
"Yes, yes, we followed it all the way in because we saw an unusual beast, which is equivalent to a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, the situation in there is really terrifying......" Cui Yawen looked at Xiao Yu with a frightened face and said, as if he didn't want to remember the scene at that time.
Xiao Yu still said to Duan Chen with some reluctance: "But Master, even if I am outside, I will still encounter those beasts that come out!"
"I've already set up a formation by the stream, those beasts won't find you!, but the time limit is only until tomorrow, so whether you wait for me or not, once the formation fails, you must leave immediately!" Duan Chen told Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu nodded, looked at Duan Chen and said, "I know Master, I will wait for you to come out, you have to be careful!"
Duan Chen sent them to the stream, glanced at a big tree not far away, then turned around and left, entering the cave directly.
The inside is wide and eerie, giving a chill to the bone. The true qi in Duan Chen's body was running, and this chill disappeared.
It was a downhill road, and after walking down for almost twenty minutes, Duan Chen also felt that he had entered a cloud of mist, and his eyes had become gray, and the surrounding aura had already been mixed with aura.
The further she goes, the more full the aura becomes, this is what she said to Xiaoyu before, what blocks her from entering, the aura at this intensity, with Xiaoyu's current physique, is unable to adapt!
However, for Duan Chen, this is something that he has sensed a long time ago, and it also confirms that he came here to find the right place!
Through the mist miasma composed of spiritual energy, his eyes suddenly opened up, and Duan Chen found that he had come to the outside of the cave, and the trees in front of him were shady, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and it looked like a paradise!
What made Duan Chen feel most comfortable was that there was abundant aura here, which made him feel like he was back in the Zhengxuanmen of the cultivation world, and what was behind him was no longer Phoenix Mountain, but Daxuan Mountain!
This is a very strange feeling, and the more you go inside, the stronger this feeling becomes! The environment here seems to be exactly the same as the Great Xuanshan Mountain in my memory!
How could such a coincidence occur? Was it the ingenuity of nature, or was it deliberate?
If it is human, who has such ability? More importantly, what kind of relationship does he have with Zhengxuanmen?
Duan Chen was very excited now, from the moment he felt the spirit tide, he suspected that there was a spirit array on Phoenix Mountain! And the scale must not be small!
But he still didn't expect that this spirit array would have such a large scale! Indeed, everything Duan Chen saw and where he was now was in this spirit array!
This is the method of arranging the spirit array in the Zhengxuanmen, Duan Chen can even find the key formation heart of the spirit array, it must be a powerful magic weapon supporting it!
The person who arranged the spirit array was at least a cultivator at the level of Tianzun! I just don't know how long this spirit array has been arranged, and I don't know what kind of changes it has experienced, this spirit array is broken, which is also the reason for the leakage of spiritual energy.
"Whoosh!" Just as Duan Chen was walking in the woods, looking around, a black shadow suddenly flew down from the top of his head and flew into his head!
Duan Chen didn't think about it, grabbed his right hand up, directly grabbed a furry arm, and threw it out with a wave of his hand!
"Bang!" The monkey with golden retrievers all the time fell into the flowers at his feet, but because there were flower seedlings padding, he was not injured, and one turned over and stood up, looking at Duan Chen with resentful eyes, and screaming miserably from his mouth.
This is the monkey who stole the snack last night, and it didn't seem to have expected that Duan Chen would be able to chase it to the secret realm, with an expression of anger and hatred on his face, and his mouth became louder and louder, and soon there was a commotion above his head, I don't know how many monkeys have rushed over from all directions!
"Squeak squeak!" a group of monkeys let out a disturbing cry from their mouths, holding stones in their hands, and threw them at Duan Chen fiercely!
Duan Chen directly turned around and dodged, hiding behind a tree. But those monkeys were quite cunning, hiding themselves behind the branches and leaves, constantly changing angles and directions, throwing hard at Duan Chen, and fighting in batches, one batch of stones was thrown, and another batch was thrown, and they would not blindly throw them all in one go!
There was a stone rain in the forest, Duan Chen had nowhere to hide, there was no way to avoid it, just the true qi to protect his body, he would not be hurt by these stones, his body kept running under the tree, using the trunk to block the stones, after running for almost five minutes, his eyes suddenly glanced at a big tree, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: I found you!
"Whoosh!" Duan Chen rushed towards the big tree like an arrow off the string, and then put his hands together on the tree, and kicked his feet alternately underneath, the whole person was more flexible than a tanuki, and he had already climbed the big tree in the blink of an eye!
Ever since he approached the tree, the monkeys above him had stopped calling for stones!
And Duan Chen also climbed more than ten meters high in one go, grabbed a branch with both hands, and shouted loudly: "Give me down!"
Not far in front of him, there was a golden retriever monkey squatting, faintly just squatting on the branch, it was already the height of an adult, and once it stood up, it was at least two meters tall!
The golden monkey didn't seem to expect that this person would find it so quickly, and there was no room for it to react!
This kick directly kicked it on the shoulder, and the big monkey screamed, turned over and fell down the tree! However, it had rough skin and thick flesh, and it was not injured, and it got up with a bone, and pulled out a small tree with a thick arm from the ground, broke the branch in three or two strokes, and used the almost three-meter-long branch as a javelin, and threw it at Duan Chen!
Duan Chen got up and jumped away, and the branch pierced the tree with a pop, and then broke in two. The strength of this big monkey is really not small!
Before the big monkey could pull out the second small tree, Duan Chen had already come down from the tree, stood in front of it, and kicked it out again, the big monkey obviously had taken precautions, but he still couldn't block this kick, and the kicked flew up and rolled back a few times, crashing into the tree and stopping!
This kick was much stronger than the kick just now, and the big monkey couldn't sit up for a long time, looking at Duan Chen with grinning teeth, his eyes were full of resentment.
The surrounding monkeys pounced like crazy, some smashed Duan Chen with stones, some simply smashed Duan Chen's head face to face with branches and sticks, and more of them directly pounced on him and tore and bited!
Duan Chen didn't take these attacks in his eyes, all the monkeys that rushed to the range of his fists and kicks were all knocked out by him with punches and kicks, and the forest kept sounding to stop the screams, and dozens of monkeys were already lying on the ground, none of them died, but they couldn't get up for a while!
"Oh!oh!oh!" With a few rough cries from the big monkeys, those monkeys all stopped their suicide-like attack on Duan Chen, and stood in the distance looking at Duan Chen with a look of hatred with a hint of fear.
These monkeys have rich expressions and high intelligence, although they are far from the standard of spirit beasts, but they have evolved a big step compared to their counterparts on the earth!
Of course, these are all the credit of this spirit array, and everything about this spirit array, Duan Chen has to know about it, it will obviously be very troublesome to ask other beasts, and it is undoubtedly the most convenient to ask that monkey king!
"I know you can understand me, so I asked you something, and you didn't know how to speak, so you nodded and shook your head to show it, understand?" Duan Chen squinted at the big monkey that could already be done, and said in a deep voice.
The big monkey glanced at him, his face seemed to be a little angry, and he slowly raised his right hand, and then stretched out his middle finger at Duan Chen—I despise you!
