Chapter 43: The Mutant Macaque
Han Yifeng decided to go, He Lei went to discuss with the others, and everyone unanimously decided to go through this miasma to see what kind of thing was worthy of a group of mutant monkeys to guard.
When they came out of the miasma, they finally saw the 'beautiful' tree that the man had just said. It can't be called a tree anymore, yes, what tree grows so delicately, it's simply a crystal clear handicraft.
Crystal-like leaves, dotted among the branches of black jade, are dazzling in the sunlight. The gray-green fruit that hides it becomes the most inconspicuous existence, and if it were not for the red fruit pedicle to decorate it, it would almost be the failure of this perfect work of art.
"Yes, that's it, Zihuangmang. His eyes were fixed on the tree, and he muttered.
"What?" Chu Yu asked suspiciously.
"Oh, nothing, I said this tree is really beautiful, I just don't know what it's called. Shocked by his gaffe, Xing Lu hurriedly remedied.
"Yes, Sister Lulu, I really want to collect this tree, compared to it, the collections in my father's study are simply unsightly. Brother, do you recognize what this is?"
"I don't recognize it very clearly, it seems to be the legendary treasure of heaven and earth, the purple Huangmang described in "Xiaozhou Miscellaneous". ”
"Zihuangmang?"
"Well, according to the above in that book, the leaves of the purple mango tree are carved like crystals, the fruit is shaped like a round egg, the skin is pitted, the inside is purple powder, and the red is red. ”
"Wow, that's amazing. Isn't that an immortal fruit?" Chu Xiran sighed.
"Yes, you may live forever if you eat it, Xiaoxi, I'll help you pick a few more later, ah." Roach said with a smile.
"Then I want to thank you, Brother Roach. But I'm going to pick it myself, and I'm going to pick it with its branches. ”
……
Not only is Zihuang Mang powerful, but the person who recorded these is also very powerful, Xing Lu couldn't help but think. The author of this "Miscellaneous Treatise on Small Boats" is really a strange person, and even such treasures as Zihuang Mang have accurate records, although they are not particularly detailed, but they are not much different, which shows that this person has a wide range of knowledge.
"This wasn't the case before, I was here before the Cataclysm. ”
"Oh, what was it like? These can't be conjured out of thin air, right?"
"Really, there used to be a cliff here, and that's where the trees were. ”
"It was because of the movement of the earth's crust that these precious trees came into being. ”
"Aren't we lucky?"
"It's the first time I've seen such a beautiful tree when I've lived so big!"
"yes, it's too good-looking!"
"The leaves on the tree alone are worth a lot of crystal nuclei, right?"
"That is, then we will have to put away the leaves and branches, which may be more valuable than the fruit!"
……
Perhaps it was because the discussion was too loud, and several mutant monkeys who were grooming each other on other tree trunks next to them heard the movement, and quickly approached and warned everyone with their teeth bared. There were also a few grumpy ones who took the stones and threw them at the crowd.
"The face is bare and hairless, the face is thin, well-defined, the shoulder hair is short, the tail is long, the limbs are almost the same length, the hands and toes are opposite, and they can be held together, which is a typical macaque characteristic, but it is much larger than the macaque before the cataclysm. Uncle Wen, who was with Hu Lingling, looked at the mutated macaque with teeth and claws in front of him and said.
"yes, it's the first time I've seen such a big macaque. It's at least twice as big as before, right?" Qiu Lin, who was beside Han Yifeng, smiled.
"Well, these are at best 'sentinels' in charge of the guard mission, and there will be some big roles in a while!" the man clearly knew the macaque's habits very well.
Perhaps the crowd did not flee like the previous one, which angered the patrolmen, and they were obviously afraid of the other side's large number of people, and knew that they could not take advantage of it, so they only threatened and threatened, and did not dare to come forward.
A mutated macaque at the foreground opened its mouth and let out a few long, muffled whistles, as if to inform the leader of the situation. After finishing the report, he glanced at Uncle Wen and the others who were talking enthusiastically, and his expression seemed to say, Hmph, our boss is coming over, I see how long you can be arrogant.
Macaques are one of the most intelligent mammals, and they have even practiced this ability to judge the situation.
With a deafening roar, a group of twenty or thirty mutant macaques appeared in front of everyone's eyes, led by a mutant macaque like King Kong.
"Ho, this is 'Tarzan', isn't it? so tall!"
"If you are punched by it, you will shed your skin if you don't die. ”
"Well, just looking at it, I feel cold in my heart. ”
"This time we kicked the iron plate, I don't know if we can get out of the way in the end. ”
"Uncle, I'm afraid. Seeing the mutant macaque, Xiaohua was so frightened that he hid behind Wang Yongwei.
"It's okay, we're here to protect you. Chu Xiran stepped forward and grabbed his arm. Naturally, the others surrounded them, watching the leader of the mutated macaque warily.
I saw that its limbs were not almost the same length as the mutant macaque next to it, its lower limbs were obviously much thicker than its upper limbs, and its fingers were slightly more slender than its toes, and it was relatively flexible. And after seeing everyone, he obviously thought about it in his heart, and then waved his hand and handed out a complicated look to everyone, which was strangely understood: Hurry up and leave, otherwise you will all stay here!
The eyes were like torches, indifferent and profound, several ordinary people without abilities were trembling with fright, and their legs couldn't move, Xiaohua hugged Chu Xiran tightly, wanting to get a sense of security from her.
At this time, I saw Uncle Wen step forward and say to the mutant macaque: "We have no malicious intentions, but since this treasure tree has been discovered by us, it is not good for us to return empty-handed, right? ”
No one doubted that it would not understand Uncle Wen's words, because as soon as Uncle Wen's words fell, the leading mutant macaque let out a disdainful roar, and the twenty or thirty sturdy men around it rushed up and launched a fierce attack on everyone!
The run-up and take-off actions were completed in one go, and within more than 10 seconds, these mutant macaques successively jumped over a distance of more than ten meters between the same group of people and came to the front.
They don't have any flashy moves, and when they catch someone, they are clung to by their powerful claws, unable to move, and they bite hard with their sharp teeth. The few people standing in front were defenseless, they were caught, and they were bitten bloodied in an instant, and for a while, people's screams came and went, resounding all over the world.
Naturally, the others who reacted were not passively beaten, and immediately activated their abilities on them. Anyway, those mutant macaques have rough skin and thick flesh, and the ability on them won't kill them with one move. But if they are caught by a mutant macaque, they will never let go without biting down on a piece of meat. Even if the strength of the crowd is slightly higher, the number is superior, and the battle situation is in a stalemate for a while.
And the leading mutant macaque launched an attack on Uncle Wen's place, in its cognition, only the strongest will have the right to speak, and the strongest of these human beings, of course, must be handed over to the strongest themselves to deal with.
Uncle Wen stepped forward with He Lei, Han Yifeng, Qiu Lin, and the middle-aged man who spoke just now, blocked its swift blow, and quickly became entangled with it.
Xing Lu's position was very subtle, to the left of the mutant macaque leader. When it attacked Uncle Wen and them, it happened to have its back to her. Taking advantage of the fierce fight between it and Uncle Wen and them, Xing Lu stepped forward and slashed at its back with a Tang knife. But it only cut off a few of its monkey hairs, and not even a single wound was left. The mutant macaque turned around in pain, and shook his hand to knock Xing Lu to the ground.
Chu Yi on the side saw that instead of stepping forward to help her, he quickly activated his ability and aimed at the head of the mutated macaque leader, and a bolt of lightning slashed over.
The people next to him also took the opportunity to attack, and frequently sneak attacks succeeded, and when it turned back to deal with them, Xing Lu quickly got up, lifted the Tang knife and gave it a hard blow. This time, she attached some spiritual power to the Tang Knife, and the damage to the mutant macaque was much greater than last time. A large piece of flesh and blood was cut off by Xing Lu on its back, and its body stiffened in pain.
The people next to him seized the opportunity and stepped forward to attack its wounds, pitiful for the mutant macaque leader, who wanted to take a few of them to stand up, but they didn't think about it but planted here, and ended up with hatred.
As soon as the leader died, the other mutant macaques had no commander, and soon became like a plate of scattered sand, unable to withstand the increasingly fierce attacks of the crowd, and fled in rout.
