Chapter 19: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas
"Master, why do you say we have to go by ourselves, you can take me out of the valley with a wave of your hand before. If...... Can't you take me to Chang'an City with another wave of your hand?" Finally, Gu Chen couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and asked with a slight pout
At this time, Dugu Haochen, who was in a state of meditation, heard Guchen ask this, his eyes were half open, and he glared at Guchen angrily and shouted: "Fool, I'm your grandfather!"
"Grandpa? Oh...... My grandfather died before I was born, though, me. Before Gu Chen finished speaking, Dugu Haochen's palm slapped on the top of his head.
"Ahh
"Oops!"
"Let you be disrespectful to your grandfather, curse your grandfather to die early......" Suddenly, there were bursts of reprimands from inside the carriage.

The road to Chang'an City, Li Youcai has to walk so many times a year, there are basically no heroes in the green forest, but because of the proximity to Liuyun Mountain, there are often strange apes infested, these apes are very different from ordinary apes, not only ferocious and agile, strong combat effectiveness, but more terrifying is that once targeted by these apes, it is often an endless end!
When Li Youcai was young, he passed by this place and encountered a white ape, and a team of more than 40 people fought hard, and finally killed two gray apes at the cost of more than half of the casualties. And he himself was scratched in the chest by the ape, and almost died, and there is still a half-foot-long scar on his chest, which always makes him palpitate every time he sees this scar.
The gray ape is just a relatively ordinary ape in Liuyun Mountain, and there are even more powerful black apes, red apes, and even the legendary two-headed ape, which he has never seen. In the past few years, for some reason, the strange apes on Liuyun Mountain have frequently appeared nearby, and there have been more than a dozen dart games in this vicinity, and even some dart games have been wiped out, but he was lucky that he didn't let him run into it once.
However, he still understands the truth that if you walk at night, you will encounter ghosts, but he has no choice - if it weren't for the fact that the little grandson who was seriously ill at home urgently needed a large amount of medical expenses, if it wasn't for the heavy gift of the prince who was escorted on this trip, and if it wasn't for the fact that this trip made a lot of money, he would definitely not have taken this trip!!
In front of it is the Black Jungle, the area of the Black Jungle is not large, in fact, it is more appropriate to call it the Black Forest. However, this forest is extremely eerie, and there are often large beasts infested, and he must raise his spirit to have a chance of passing.
"Let's all cheer up, walk through the black jungle, and we will arrive at Chang'an City, where we can rest in peace for a few days!" Li Youcai turned around and shouted loudly.
As soon as his words fell, all the dart masters heard the prompt of the chief dart, and immediately showed their guys, and they all looked around with a vigilant look.
When Gu Chen heard the shout of the chief dart, he immediately looked ahead, and sure enough, in his eyes, a jungle appeared, and the trees inside it showed a strange dark black, looking at it from a distance, as if there was nothing. And this is probably the origin of the name of the Black Jungle!
As soon as they entered the black jungle, a cool air rushed to their faces, except for a few terrible birdsong at the beginning of the entry, there seemed to be nothing special here, and the group cautiously walked forward for about half an hour, and gradually came to the hinterland of the black jungle.
"Whewβββββββββββ"
Suddenly, there was an ape cry in front of me, not loud, but very clear to everyone's ears!
If you are really afraid, you will come to whatever you are afraid of, hearing this, Mr. Li's dart head instantly changed his complexion, and he hurriedly shouted to the rear: "Everyone immediately dismounted, quickly lined up a protective formation, there are apes coming!"
As soon as the dart masters heard that there was an ape, all the people's faces turned pale instantly, and they immediately dismounted, and tied the reins of the horses to the dart cart to prevent the horses from escaping in fright, and then everyone held weapons and surrounded the dart cart.
Mr. Li stood at the front of the line, his eyes fixed on the depths of the jungle.
After a while, two black figures suddenly appeared in everyone's sight, jumping in the forest and approaching quickly.
Li Youcai's heart sank, it turned out to be a black ape, a kind of ape with a very strong physique! He also saw this kind of ape for the first time in his life, and it is said that this kind of ape is not only extremely powerful, a pair of sharp claws can break stones and break gold, but also is not afraid of death, and is extremely fierce.
"Whoa~whoa~"
"Two of them came at once, and I don't know if there are any other apes lurking nearby. Thinking of this, the cold sweat on the back of Mr. Li's dart head flowed, and a feeling of more than auspicious came to his heart.
When the two black apes came to a distance of twenty meters, they stopped, and kept looking at the crowd in front of them, as if they were thinking about how to attack.
At this moment, Gu Chen, who was sitting in the car, finally saw clearly the appearance of the black ape with the help of his broken eyes that could see through everything - this ape was extremely huge, almost the size of a calf, dark black, but a pair of eyes were crimson, shining with a faint red glow, and two extremely sharp external teeth were exposed on both sides of the long teeth, which was even more tyrannical and ferocious!
Seeing this, Gu Chen suddenly trembled with fright, but fortunately he didn't lose control, neither shouted loudly, nor collapsed into a puddle of mud.
And at this moment, Dugu Haochen, who was sitting next to him, took a spear from the car, slowly put it at his side, looked at Guchen and said hoarsely: "Little guy, what are you afraid of!"
"Don't forget, you're still old and I'm by your side. Besides, you still have the amulet given by the old man, even if you don't have old me, you will still be safe and sound. After speaking, Dugu Haochen threw the spear at his side out of the car.
At this moment, the two black apes had already separated and walked around the convoy several times, when suddenly a sharp cry came from the mouth of one of the apes, and the other ape immediately pounced towards the middle of the convoy with it!
"Whewβββββββββ"
"Drink~ah-"
At this time, standing in the middle part was the previous leader of the tower man, holding a three-foot big knife, seeing that the black ape was rushing towards him, he immediately shouted, lifted the big knife and slashed forward.
Bang Dang!
The knife struck the ape's shoulder, but instead of splitting its flesh, it made a sound of gold and iron.
"Whewββββββββ"
Knock! knock! knock......
Far from frightening the ape, it provoked its anger. Standing in front of the big man, he roared and pounded his chest, followed by a dull sound
"Uh~ah-" Seeing this, the tower man did not panic, but let out an excited roar, and at the same time, his eyes were full of war.
As the sword light flew up and down, the black ape had already punched out, and although there were no earth-shattering moves in the fight between one ape and one person, they were all wide open and closed, straight and doing their best!
After the small half-pillar incense, the big man of the iron tower gradually exhausted his strength and was about to retreat backwards......
