Chapter 2: Eighty-Six: Casualties

The battle was deadlocked, and the soldier was not yet dead, and although blood was spurting down his major arteries, his fingers were still moving weakly, as if they were going to save him.

Even if Tao Andang wanted to go up the tree, a large amount of water vapor condensed in the air, but before the water arrow could shoot at the ghost monkey, he saw that the ghost monkey on the treetop suddenly held the soldier's head with both hands, and then it was like lifting the lid of the pot, and as the blood flew, the soldier's skull was overturned, revealing the brain covered with blood inside.

Seeing this, everyone was stunned, and Tao An roared like crazy, and at the same time, the water arrows in the air condensed, shooting straight at the ghost monkey.

The ghost monkey made a harsh sound, as if it was laughing but not as good as crying, and before the water arrow was close, it sat on the treetop, grabbed the person's skull with its left hand, and reached directly into the person's head with its right hand, hollowing out its white brain, and then threw the corpse into the air with the water arrow, and ate the brain of the awakened soldier in one bite, and then hung his hands on the branch next to him, and after a few shaking efforts, there was no shadow.

Tao An ran a few steps to catch the corpse in the air, the corners of his eyes seemed to be a little moist, but more of it was anger.

Ye Liqi trembled and sprayed the wound healing agent on her left arm, and her entire left arm, from the shoulder to the wrist, including the belt meat, was directly cut by the ghost monkey with three cuts like a knife.

While inhaling, Ye Lingqi sprayed the wound healing agent until his entire arm was covered with a blue membrane.

Gently clenched his fist, Ye Liqi frowned slightly, although he didn't feel the pain now, but that feeling of powerlessness was real, the wound healing agent could only seal the wound for a short time and speed up the healing, but it didn't mean that the injured place had no effect on the body.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Liqi looked at the rest of the people, Zhu Huang stood up and said: "It's two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun is going down in more than an hour, it will come again, let's find a place to stay first, and then wait for it to come to us." ”

Everyone nodded, and Ji Yeqiu took the lead, Zhu Huang was behind him, then Ye Liqi, Tao An and another Awakened soldier, and then Liang Hongtao on the right.

The mountains are densely foliage, and when the sun is at its best, you can only faintly see people's faces, let alone after sunset.

In fact, Zhu Huang was right, at three o'clock, the mountain was already gradually darkening, in this dim and complex environment, their certainty of the things around them would definitely decrease, but what worried them the most was actually something else.

They don't know if the monkey's eyes can see at night, but they know that even if both sides can't see each other clearly, their target is big and slow, and on the other side, the ghost monkey's target is small and good at speed, so it must be very difficult for them to find the target, but the most important thing is that they are not familiar with the environment.

If there was only one ghost monkey, it would be extremely difficult for them to achieve victory, and if other strange beasts appeared during the night, the ghost monkey would definitely be watching the battle while they were fighting those strange beasts, and be the one watching the fire from the other side.

So the campsite to find tonight is very important, it must not be an open and unsheltered wilderness, if they can find a very hidden place, maybe they can wait until tomorrow, and then take advantage of their own advantage to kill the ghost monkey in one fell swoop......

Everyone understood what they were worried about each other, and they all stepped up their pace.

It was about five o'clock when they finally found a hiding place that was not quite hidden.

I don't know exactly where it is, but there's a natural boulder here, and the flat boulder seems to be stuck diagonally on the ground, so there's an angle in the gap between it and the ground, and the angle is big enough that they'll have no problem resting here tonight.

Now that it was all dark, it was good to be able to find such a place, and no one said that they would continue on their way, but helped clean up the somewhat dense corners of the weeds.

Ye Liqi glanced around at this big angle, this boulder can only be said to be for them to resist the attack from one direction at best, and the other three directions need them to send additional men to guard, if the ghost monkey comes at night, I'm afraid this battle will not be so easy.

They now have a total of seven people plus a golden crow, and the others have not brought their own alien beasts, and they also know that their alien beasts are only C-level at best, not even B-level, and it is not a death to bring here, and even sometimes it will be a burden, but it is not as strong as their own empty body.

Jin Crow is also considered a labor force, and the eight people are divided into two groups, Ye Li, Jin Wu, Zhu Huang, Tao An in one group, and the remaining four people in a group.

After clearing the ground, Yu You turned the moist land here into a dry ground, which was much more comfortable than before.

Everyone sat around, staring at each other's vague faces in the night.

After a long time, Ye Liqi sighed lightly and said: "Light the fire, you can't hide from it, if it wants to find us, we will find it, and we won't be blind if we light the fire." ”

After that, Ji Yeqiu snapped his fingers, and a flame came out of his fingertips, bright and bright.

Liang Hongtao found a handful of dead branches nearby and came back, and piled them on the ground in the middle, Ji Yeqiu blew lightly, and the fire burned so slowly.

Zhu Huang glanced at Ye Li's calm expression, coughed lightly, and said, "Let's talk about the ghost monkey." ”

Ji Yeqiu was the first to speak: "It's too fast, it's too fast." He shook his head and said, "My eyes can't keep up with his speed, and I often can't feel its presence until it runs to me." ”

Tao An next to him answered: "I noticed that it seemed to be a little unstable when it finally left, is it because it has a broken tail so it can't grasp the balance?" ”

Zhu Huang nodded, looked at Ye Li, and said, "It's possible." ”

The only remaining Awoken soldier suddenly sighed and said, "How do I feel like it's teasing us like a puppy!" ”

Ji Yeqiu shook his head and said, "It's not teasing puppies, it's cats scratching rats, and when cats scratch mice, they will play with them first, and then kill ......."

Without waiting for Ji Yeqiu to finish speaking, Liang Hongtao next to him interrupted Ji Yeqiu's words: "It didn't take advantage of our first battle, and now we still have the upper hand, isn't it a little inappropriate for Brother Ji to say this." ”

Ye Liqi looked at Liang Hongtao, Ji Yeqiu was also a little awake, and immediately waved his hand, but took the initiative to say: "Ah, I didn't mean that, I'm sorry everyone." ”

Liang Hongtao smiled, and returned to his usual honesty and honesty, squatting on the side, quietly listening to the analysis of several people.

Ye Liqi coughed slightly, and everyone looked at her.

"The ghost monkey will definitely come back tonight, it is different from humans, humans will choose to attack in the early hours of the morning, and the ghost monkeys will only do it when they feel that we are all asleep when we let down our guards."

Ji Yeqiu thought for a while and asked, "Then do you mean that we should pretend to sleep at night first, and then ambush the ghost monkey when he comes?" ”

Ye Liqi nodded: "The fire can be lit, and there are as many as possible, if the ghost monkey comes, with its wit, it will definitely not attack rashly, it will first determine our situation, and then attack the weakest one, so tonight the two of you will hide in the innermost." ”

Ye Liqi looked at Tao An and the other Awakened soldier.

"But we won't be able to attract the ghost monkeys to attack us without anyone to attack, so I'll sit on the outermost side, and you will always be on the lookouts, and once I fight the ghost monkeys, you will attack together." Ye Liqi said.

Zhu Huang's eyes flashed, and he gently lifted his silver-rimmed glasses, and a fine light flashed in his eyes.

"Then you're putting yourself as bait in the most obvious place." Although Zhu Huang was asking Ye Li, his affirmation could be heard from his tone.

Ye Liqi nodded, and then said: "Also, if the night really fights, the night is not suitable for us to fight, but it adds a chance for the ghost monkey to escape, this time if we can't kill the ghost monkey in one fell swoop, with its speed, I'm afraid that we will hide in the mountains for a few years from now on, and we may not be able to find it, and then there will be endless troubles, so tonight we all have to show all our strength, tonight, we must kill the ghost monkey." ”

Everyone glanced at each other and nodded, they understood what Ye Lili meant, and her worries were not unreasonable.

"So, Ji Yeqiu, if there is a fight, you can't see where the ghost monkey is, just listen, and when you hear a sound there, light up the surroundings, of course, I don't mean to let you set fire to the mountain, you should be able to understand what I mean."

Ji Yeqiu nodded, signaling that he understood.

After a few more commands, Ye Liqi nodded to everyone, walked to the front of the open space and sat down.

Jin Wu followed behind Ye Li, and after Ye Liqi sat down, he also lay down beside Ye Li.

Ye Liqi touched Jin Crow's little head, and gently stroked its soft fur, as if remembering something, Ye Liqi turned over Jin Crow's body and let it lie on its back on the ground, Jin Crow really lay there so honestly, let Ye Liqi check its wounds, and even Ye Li's hand stroked its soft belly, it didn't have the intention of struggling to get up.

Even the golden crow closed its eyes and let out a comfortable "chirp, chirp" sound, which is the cry it only makes when it is coquettish and wants to please others.

Ye Liqi smiled, sat in the open space in front of him with the golden crow, watching the forest be swallowed up by darkness little by little, and the quiet environment seemed to give people a kind of tranquility before the storm...... (To be continued.) )
