Chapter Eighty-Nine: Confrontation

My nerves and I tensed, and we looked up at the thing that was hanging upside down, because it was three or four meters away from us, and its body was shrouded in the shadow of the tree. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

My heart was so tight that the speed of this thing was so weird, just now I thoughtlessly that it couldn't get between the tall trees and catch up with us, but now that I look at it, it's really creepy. It made me wonder, what the hell is this thing, how can it have such ghostly and silent speed?

When the strange thing saw us, it made a "hiss" sound from its mouth, and it sounded familiar, but for a moment it couldn't remember what it was. However, as we gradually got used to the light, Bao Cai and I slowly saw the outline of the thing, it was not tall, it was a little thin, it looked like a baby, but if you looked closely, it had a very long tail, like some kind of animal.

Bao Cai and I stood up carefully, the two of us were ready to fight, and Bao Cai said softly: "Son, this thing didn't directly attack us, it doesn't seem that the person who came is not bad, and listening to its cry, it's a little anxious." ”

I answered, my eyes searching the ground, thinking that this thing must be some kind of animal, and if it wasn't aggressive to us, that would be better. Yes, many animals are afraid of fire, so why don't I find a firewood and light the fire, so that if it moves, I can force it back.

Thinking of this, I swept my eyes over the ground, where the fallen leaves were piled up, and the dead branches were hard to find, but at last I saw one, and I bent down, carefully picked up the firewood, and took out the lighter, the sound of the lighter was very abrupt in the silence, and made people extremely nervous.

The thing saw us moving, and leaned its head forward, and its mouth made a "......clucking" sound of teeth fighting, which was crisp and strange, and Bao Cai held his breath in fright, and stepped back a little.

The moment it poked its head out, in the faint light, I saw a strange face, this face was very unfamiliar, I don't remember such a face in my memory, and when it approached us, it carried a hot breath, like the breath of a person with a high fever, which made people very uncomfortable.

I held my breath and didn't dare to move, for fear of startling the alien creature, and it would attack us violently. I was about to ask if the treasure had seen what the creature was, but the thing climbed up the branch in front of us, and the face was again in the shadow of the tree.

The treasure trembled like chaff, and shrank back, and in this situation of not knowing what the enemy was, we had no advantage, so I plucked up my courage and carefully lit the firewood, and now my palms were full of sweat, and the things in the trees were motionless and watched us, thinking that the animal had some wisdom, and did not like to act rashly.

However, in the current situation, the enemy does not move, and we do not move, which is a confrontation, which makes the atmosphere even more tense.

The flame at the top of the branch was like a dancing girl, slowly turning the skirt, I protected the fire, and poked the branch forward, and at this look, Baocai exclaimed, as if seeing a ghost, I was startled by his call, and the hand holding the branch shrank back, and I didn't see what it was, and the thing was in fright, and ran away.

I looked at Baocai staring at the empty branches, and was infected by his frightened expression, and my heart was shocked, and I hurriedly asked, "What is it?

Baocai turned his head in a daze and exclaimed, "This place is so godly, I seem to have seen a fire monkey just now!"

"Fire monkey?" I asked, confused, "What fire monkey? I've never heard of it!"

Baocai looked like an old professor and said: "Son, we are in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, this era and our modern time has been separated by more than a thousand years, in this thousand years, how many animals and plants have become extinct, they are rare, but rarity does not mean that it does not exist, do you remember the monkey we saw just now? ”

I remembered seeing the thing and nodded.

Bao Cai continued: "Its face is more red than the average monkey, it is said that this kind of monkey is not afraid of fire, they are primates, very intelligent, usually in groups of three or five, there are few fire monkeys that act alone, so I think, what we saw just now is only one, there must be more around here." ”

Hearing this, I swallowed my saliva, looked at the darkness in this dense forest uneasily, and said, "Now I just need to figure out a little bit, is this fire monkey aggressive? ”

Bao Cai was also worried about this, he pondered for a moment, and said, "This animal has long been extinct in our time, and I have not done any research, and I don't know if it is aggressive. As he spoke, he comforted himself again, "But...... I just found out that it is actually very timid, you see that as soon as I screamed, it ran away, and besides, if it wants to attack, it will attack us a long time ago, after all, this is its territory. ”

I held the torch and swept through the darkness, except for the strange branches stretching out, there was nothing, I was afraid that as Baocai said, the fire monkey came together, and now it is hiding in the dark to spy on us, ready to wait for the opportunity to act, and hurriedly said: "Let's not discuss this, this forest is too unfamiliar to us, there may be murderous opportunities everywhere, while the fire monkey does not act immediately, let's go and meet the army first!"

Baocai glanced around, saw that the forest was silent, and couldn't help shrinking his body, and said, "You're right, let's go quickly." ”

Because of the fright just now, we were so scared that we always felt that there were many things on the branches that were silently chasing us, so we were getting colder and colder on our backs, and in the end, the two of us completely entered a state of panic in the imaginary enemy, and stumbled. However, we did not dare to go far from the large army at first, so we quickly ran to our destination, and by this time, everyone was still unconscious, except for the little Taoist priest sitting by the stream.

Seeing that the big guys were there, Baocai and I breathed a sigh of relief, this feeling was like a piglet who had escaped the pursuit of the big bad wolf and arrived in his den, full of security.

We collapsed and propped up our legs, gasping for breath, and the little Taoist priest saw us, stopped what we were doing, and asked us what was wrong?

Baocai and I waved our hands tacitly, intending to ease our breath and explain the situation to the little Taoist priest. The little Taoist priest saw that we were too tired to do anything, so he didn't ask much.

We sat on the edge of the stream, washed our faces soaked in cold sweat, the little Taoist priest caught a few big fat fish, he cut the belly of the fish, washed the body of the fish, and waited for me to bring the lighter, the big guy could have a full meal.

Baocai gathered some firewood, and we set up a fire rack and a pile of firewood, and when the fire was burned, the fragrance overflowed and swirled around the edge of the stream.

After Baocai and I eased our emotions, we told the little Taoist priest everything about what happened just now. The little Taoist priest was also surprised when he saw the goblin fruit. Knowing that he was wounded, Bao Cai washed the Mongolian knife, roasted it on the fire, and then crossed the water by the stream, and was very particular. This is mainly because the Mongolian knife has cut everything strange, and the treasure is afraid that the little Taoist priest who has a habit of cleanliness will dislike it, so he makes it carefully.

He cut off a goblin fruit's complicated whiskers for the little Taoist priest and said: "To put it bluntly, this thing is a crisp rhizome, it smells stinky, and it is estimated that the rhizome itself is also very bitter. ”

The little Taoist priest took the beard and put it in his mouth, and soon, he frowned, thinking that the bitterness was too heavy. Chewing and chewing, he looked up at us, and shortly after he swallowed the roots of the goblin fruit, Bao Cai and I were surprised to find that his originally slightly pale face had turned bloody.

I looked at the goblin fruit wrapped in cloth in shock, the effect of this thing is really not covered, the little Taoist stood up, smoothed his breath, and said: "Goblin fruit is called fairy fruit, I didn't expect to taste it today, it really has a miraculous effect, I was slapped by a giant python before, and all of them were internal injuries, and these injuries seem to have been alleviated after being irrigated by the cool breath of the goblin fruit." ”

Hearing this, Baocai and I were relieved to look at each other, and I said happily: "I was still worried about the curative effect of the goblin fruit, but now that it can relieve internal injuries, then there is nothing to worry about, let's quickly take it to Bajian and them." ”

The little Taoist nodded, and as soon as the three of them turned around, they were startled, only to see Bajian standing silently, looking like a hungry zombie. His shoulders were drooping, his head was half-hung to his left, his eyes were blank, he had no breath at all, and if he hadn't swallowed in his throat, I would have thought that he was a living dead standing in front of us.

Baocai looked at Bajian holding his stomach with one hand, and said thoughtlessly: "Little Ba...... You...... Are you coming back to the light? You...... You...... Don't worry, go back to your flesh...... I...... We found the Divine Fruit...... Certain...... I'm sure I'll be able to pull you back from the ghost gate. ”

However, as if he hadn't heard him speak, Ba Jian's eyes swept directly over us, staring at something behind us with an expressionless face, saliva overflowing, and said quietly: "Meat...... I...... I want to eat...... Eat...... Meat ......"

So saying, he pushed us away and headed for the stream, and we turned back in a daze, and saw him kneeling on the ground, not caring whether the fish was hot or not, and eating it as soon as he caught it.

Baocai looked at me in surprise, reacted, and said without tears: "Damn, this ...... This little Hachi was originally woken up by hunger? Damn, who is it, he has been so badly injured, he can wake up with food alone!" As soon as the words fell, he stretched out his hand and called out to Hachijian: "Oh, I said you eat slowly, give me a little left!" (To be continued.) )
