Chapter 18: The Monkey Pack
When the monkeys stared at them, Ji Chen could see the faces of these monkeys clearly. Their faces are hairless, smooth as human faces, but they are so white that they resemble the faces of singers on the Japanese stage, and not only that, but their eyes are black.
Ji Chen took a cursory look, there were at least more than a hundred, although they were small, but this number was not something they could handle. And just being stared at by so many empty black eyes, Ji Chen couldn't stop his hair in his heart, not to mention whether these monkeys had any other unknown abilities
Ji Chen said quietly: "Don't panic, let's retreat slowly." ”
Then several people stared at the monkeys in front of them without moving, but their feet quietly moved back.
I don't know why, Ji Chen suddenly had a sense of confidence in his heart, as long as they leave obediently and don't disturb them, the monkeys will definitely not hurt them.
But this time Ji Chen was wrong, as soon as they retreated three or four meters, a monkey with white and black pupils suddenly roared at a few people in the monkey group. Before a few people could react, the monkeys rushed towards them like a tidal wave.
Surely the monkeys could not outrun the monkeys in the woods, and in the blink of an eye, they were in front of us all.
Ji Chen was still lucky to think that these monkeys would be like most of the monsters they had encountered before, and they would not kill them, so he simply stood still.
When these monkeys were still a meter away from Ji Chen, he was a little panicked, but he still stubbornly believed in his heart that they would stop
Unexpectedly, a monkey that rushed to the front pounced and scratched Ji Chen's face with one paw.
The burning pain on his face made Ji Chen completely understand that these monkeys were here to kill them.
As soon as Ji Chen opened his legs and was about to escape, several monkeys behind him followed up and knocked him down. Ji Chen kept rolling on the ground, more than a dozen monkeys wrapped around him and scratched, and some even bit his thighs and arms directly with their teeth.
Ji Chen shouted directly on the ground in pain, and in the confusion, he tried to look up to see Zhang Lan and the others, and found that they were all struggling on the ground by the monkeys.
Ji Chen wanted to pick up a stone or a wooden stick to fight back, but it was all sand, and he could only grab handfuls of sand everywhere, so Ji Chen had to grab the sand and keep waving his hand and throwing it everywhere.
But this kind of childlike fighting is of no use to these monkeys, and he rolls on the ground like a madman, throwing sand frantically.
Finally, Ji Chen finally saw an arm-thick branch under a tree, which seemed to be a branch of a thicker tree species, and he picked it up and swung it fiercely towards the head of a monkey on his body.
This branch was like Ji Chen's life-saving straw, he almost used the best strength of his body, but when he hit the monkey's head with the branch, a crisp sound instantly made Ji Chen fall into despair.
The trunk of the tree was like a glass rod, and it broke at the touch of it!
Damn, it turns out that this branch is quite heavy to pick up, but it is actually hollow, and there is no moisture in it at all, and it will break when you knock it, Ji Chen scolded in his heart.
His resistance didn't help, and the monkey he fought back was enraged and bit him straight at his neck.
Ji Chen shook his head desperately, dodging the monkey's bite on his neck. But the other monkeys still did not give up their ravages on him, and under this group attack, Ji Chen felt a strong sense of helplessness in Ji Chen's heart.
At this time, Ji Chen suddenly thought of Brother Kun in his heart, he had been here for so long, and all the dangers he encountered had actually been solved by Brother Kun, and the rest were just gags. Now that he's gone, he's really ineffective.
Thinking of this, Ji Chen felt a great disbelief in his heart, he is also a human being, he and Brother Kun are in a certain state of mind, if he can be as calm and brave as Brother Kun, he will definitely be able to solve this crisis.
Ji Chen flipped up from the ground violently, and tried his best to shake off the monkey on his body.
He gritted his teeth and glared at the monkeys, telling himself not to be afraid. Then he lunged forward with a loud shout, kicking one of the monkeys in front of him.
It's just that these monkeys are extremely flexible, and when I saw that the monkey quickly dodged to the side, Ji Chen kicked it into the air, and then fell to the ground in embarrassment.
When he fell to the ground, he woke up, it turned out that the difference between himself and Brother Kun was far more than just a simple state of mind, others were really strong, and he was really weak.
Ji Chen saw that the two girls were struggling less and less, and it was likely that their lives were in danger, his heart became more and more anxious, and his brain was running as fast as lightning.
Just when these monkeys wanted to pounce on Ji Chen again, he suddenly thought of the lighter in his pocket again.
Judging from the crisp sound of the stick breaking and its hollow state, there is a good chance that these strange-looking trees around it can be ignited!
But how can these trees be lit, and it is certainly impossible to ignite them with a tiny flame like a lighter.
In a hurry, Ji Chen turned around and hugged a thin willow tree next to him and climbed up, and the monkey saw that he began to climb the tree, and they all followed and kept pulling his calves.
So Ji Chen could only climb up one meter and fall down half a meter. He endured the pain of his chest and palms being worn and climbed up, but climbing a tree in front of a monkey was really tantamount to playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong.
When Ji Chen raised his head suddenly, the two monkeys had already climbed on top of him, and then crawled towards him from above. Ji Chen estimated the height, then jumped hard and hugged a thick tree nearby.
Ji Chen slipped down from the tree again, and after he stabilized, he climbed up desperately again. The two monkeys on the willow tree also jumped over with him and landed on his head, and Ji Chen took out a lighter and burned it on the butt of one of them.
What surprised him was that these monkeys were indeed very afraid of fire, and the monkey who was slightly touched by Ji Chen with a lighter immediately let out a scream and fell to the ground, and the same method was also applicable to the other monkey.
After dealing with the two monkeys on his head, Ji Chen slowly climbed up, and there were monkeys following him all the time, and Ji Chen used a lighter to scare them off from time to time.
Three or four minutes later, Ji Chen finally climbed to the top of the tree.
The trunk of the tree is thick, but the crown is smaller than what can be seen from below. Because there was no place to stay, Ji Chen could only hold a fork with one hand, take off half of his clothes with the other, and then hook on a fork and start ordering clothes.
The tattered short sleeves on Ji Chen's body hadn't been washed for almost half a month, it was full of grease, and that special material was already flammable, so Ji Chen quickly set it on fire.
The clothes were on fire, but the other half was still on Ji Chen's body, he panicked and changed one hand to hold the fork, and then quickly took off the other half of the clothes with the other hand.
The more panicked he was, the more chaotic his movements became, Ji Chen didn't take it off for a long time, the fire had already burned his eyelashes and made a clattering sound, in a hurry, Ji Chen tore off his clothes with brute force, and only a small section of sleeve was still hanging on his arm.
Ji Chen put the lit clothes on the canopy, and soon the canopy was ignited, Ji Chen broke one of them, and then put a small sleeve on his body on it.
As the tree burned more and more, Ji Chen's face was also roasted. After making sure that the tree was completely ignited, Ji Chen slid down from the tree with the improvised torch in his hand.
As soon as Ji Chen landed, the group of monkeys chasing him before retreated and looked at him from afar, Ji Chen couldn't help but sneer, and finally found a way to cure these monkeys.
He quickly ran to Zhang Lan and the others with a torch, and the monkeys were dragging several of them in one direction, but because they were still struggling, the speed of the drag was not fast.
Ji Chen chased after them one by one, scaring off the monkeys with the torches in his hands, and then helped them to sit down next to the tree that was set on fire.
