Chapter Forty-Three: The Mandrill Has Turned into a Man?

With a loud sound like a heavy hammer beating a drum, and an earthquake-like concussion from the low mountain, Wang Xu woke up from his sleep, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he could see Mo Lian's beautiful face, which made Wang Xu feel relieved.

"I've disturbed the Emperor." Mo Lian, who was holding the little tiger, saw that Wang Xu woke up, and hurriedly confessed.

"It's okay, I'm about to wake up." Wang Xu smiled, reached out and touched the little tiger who had not yet opened his eyes, and then touched the golden eagle that put his head on the window, "Nothing happened, right?" ”

"Everything is normal, but the efficiency of the open circuit is a little slow." Mo Lian opened the curtain and said, "I cut all morning, and I only advanced one hundred and fifty zhang." ”

"Didn't deviate from the direction, did you?" Wang Xu asked again.

"Exactly as the artifact points forward." Mo Lian said, pointing to the compass.

"You're busy." Wang Xu nodded, got out of the carriage, in front of him was a magnificent picture, more than a hundred people holding axes and chisels, on both sides of the hundred zhang giant trees as if drunk left and right, pressed on the other giant trees, only one fell to the ground, from the heart of the tree can also see a large number of insects and sap gushing out of the disgusting picture.

"You really slept to death, if you were in the army, you would have been captured by the campers." Wang Li, who was shirtless and covered in sweat, walked over and smiled.

"What about the roe deer?" Wang Xu looked left and right.

"Over there." Wang Li pointed to the back of the convoy.

Wang Xu looked at it and was stunned.

On the severed stake, the humanoid moose Moren held a strange wooden staff in his hand, chattering as if he was chanting something, surrounded by a herd of roe deer.

"Mo Ren said that he was suddenly psychic, able to talk to roe deer, and able to lead the roe deer herd." Wang Li said with a serious face: "Really? Did you cast a spell on him? ”

Wang Xu rolled his eyes, not knowing how to answer.

If it weren't for the fact that the roe deer was curious about any strange sounds, Wang Xu might have really thought that Mo Ren could communicate with the roe deer.

After all, those roe deer looked up at Mo Ren's dancing hands, and they really looked like students in class.

Looking at it this way, the more Mo Ren looks like a druid.....

"Leave him alone, he's just psychic." Wang Xu coughed lightly, took the water and wild fruits sent by the dumb child, and took a bite to satisfy his hunger.

"Emperor, there are porridge and rice and barbecue, can you eat it now?" The mute asked softly.

"Wait a minute, why did you get so dirty?" Wang Xu looked at the mud on the dumb child and asked.

"When Uncle Mohai took us to look for crops and herbs, we accidentally fell." Dumb said with some embarrassment.

"You're too weak, how can you be like a girl?" Wang Li snorted lightly, "Don't follow to be a Shennong, go cut down trees, and when this road is cut, you will know the benefits." ”

The dumb child laughed dryly.

"Don't listen to him, as long as you're healthy, it's useless if you don't have a brain for a muscle." Wang Xu smiled, "But you really have to exercise your body, the sea breeze here is very strong in autumn, you have to be careful not to get sick." ”

Dumb smiled and nodded.

A sharp bone whistle interrupted the conversation, Wang Lijian frowned, pulled the bow and arrow on his back, and at the same time Mo Lian also lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car.

"I don't feel like a beast, it's a leopard?" Wang Xu put on the wooden armor and took the Luoyang shovel.

"Who knows what monsters can be in this place." Wang Li put on his armor and walked forward.

The ink wolf led his clansmen back to the convoy and guarded Wang Xu's side.

"Mandrills, mandrills one person tall, a large group!" The Zhu family's red horse burst out of the forest like a flame and shouted.

"How many?" Wang Li took a step forward and grabbed the reins.

"I don't know, after I shot one, there were countless strange noises in the forest, so I hurried back." The Zhu family jumped down from the horse, "Everyone wear armor and hold shields, although the mandrills are not as fierce as the wolves, they are extremely difficult, so as not to hurt them by mistake." ”

"A mandrill tall?" Wang Xu frowned.

Mandrill is the name given to the giant monkey by ancient people, and many ancients believed that the mandrill was a monkey spirit that was about to transform into a human form, because the mandrill could use long-range weapons.

There are no wild orangutans in China, so a mandrill that is tall is indeed a bit scary.

I've heard of it before, among the nine divine beasts in the Northeast, there is a monster called the Big Horse Monkey, but I haven't decided what it is, and I only heard that there is a person tall.

Just as Wang Xu was thinking wildly, a piercing bark came from the forest, and in an instant, the legendary monkey with a height of one man also appeared in sight.

The Zhu family is really not exaggerating, the group of monkeys hanging on the tree with teeth and claws roaring are indeed nearly one meter five, and they remind them to be strong, although they are not as good as orangutans, but they are also a little scary, and the dark brown old man-like black face is a bit like a golden snub-nosed monkey.

"It's really a mandrill!" Wang Li watched one after another, and exclaimed with teeth and claws on the tree not far away.

"It's good that the trees in front of you have been cut down." Zhu Jia smiled, "At this distance, they basically have no combat effectiveness, shoot them individually, shoot a few of them and be honest." ”

"Why are the animals in this forest so huge?" Mo Lian's little face was tense and muttered, "That giant python dug up during the day is also terrifying." ”

"Because the water here is abundant, the food is abundant, the environment is good, and the main thing is that there is no human destruction." Wang Xu smiled, picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the mandrill to provoke.

The provoking mandrill grew angrier and angrier, baring its teeth on the branches, but instead of attacking or coming down, it just roared.

"They're calling for their buddies, kill a batch first." Wang Xu frowned.

The Zhu family took the lead in setting up a bow and shot an arrow, directly shooting down a mandrill that was flying in the air.

Seeing that their companions were shot, the mandrills became more and more manic, and the two jumped directly to the ground and pounced on their companions, trying to pull it up, but were shot through the heads by the other two.

The mandrill's bark became more and more sharp and angry, but it stopped moving, and slowly retreated.

"Brutes aren't stupid." Wang Li sneered and wanted to catch up.

Wang Xu grabbed him and shook his head: "Poor Kou Mo chase." ”

"Could it be that this mandrill still has the wisdom to lure the enemy deep?" Wang Li was stunned for a moment and smiled dumbly.

"If you underestimate anything, you will suffer." Wang Xu shook his head and smiled, looking at the corpse of the mandrill in the distance, "I can't eat this thing, you eat it is a great supplement." ”

Wang Li frowned, and looked at Wang Xu suspiciously, "What?" Do these brutes have a relationship with you? ”

"It has nothing to do with that." Wang Xu shook his head, and before he could finish speaking, a louder bark came again, much more than the last time, and it was mixed with some strange barking sounds.

"Childe be careful." One of the guards let out a low cry and rushed over with a wooden shield in his hand to block Wang Li's body, and there was a loud bang on the wooden shield of the stone boy.

"Hold the shield! Others retreated. Zhu Jia snorted coldly, jumped into the carriage and shot three arrows in a row with his bow and arrow, shooting into the bushes in the forest, and a terrible scream came from inside.

"Anyone?" Wang Li and Wang Xu exclaimed at the same time.

Because this scream is definitely not the sound of a monkey mandrill.

"Leave it alone, Shield Tower." The Zhu family gave the order in an orderly manner, and the guards quickly turned the wooden shield into a tall tower, covering everyone and their sight.

After a while, the sound of various heavy objects smashing into the shield tower was heard.

"Hold the bow, the green dragon horn, and throw the six-point force!" The Zhu family said coldly.

Fifty guards formed a battle formation behind the shield tower, and then started working in turn at the same time, the arrows were thrown out like waves, and a few seconds later the screams of the mandrills were heard.

This was the first time that the Zhu family took the Wang family army to show their fighting quality, which gave Wang Xu a lot of shock.

After four rounds of projectiles, the mandrill's bark became farther and farther away, presumably fleeing.

"It's over?" Wang Li turned his head and asked.

"I should have retreated, just wait." The Zhu family squinted at the 'battlefield' dozens of meters away.

Wang Li got on the roof of the car and looked at it with a telescope.

The Zhu family looked at the telescope curiously, "Childe, what is this?" ”

"Clairvoyance." Wang Li said with a smile.

"Huh?" The Zhu family was stunned.

"I'll show you, I snatched it from him." Wang Li demonstrated the role of the telescope to the Zhu family as if offering a treasure.

Listening to the exclamation of the Zhu family, Wang Xu smiled and shook his head, "What did you snatch it?" Obviously I sent it to you, let's see if it's really someone? ”

"This thing is really a divine thing!" The Zhu family looked at Wang Xu with a little pale face.

"Xiaodao." Wang Xu smiled: "It's all withdrawn?" ”

"They should all be gone, Niu Er, go and have a look." The Zhu family reluctantly returned the telescope to Wang Li.

Niu Er, who was like an iron tower, looked even more majestic after putting on the wooden armor, and walked out of the shield tower with a spear in full armor, and after a while, his dull and panicked voice came: "The mandrill has really turned into a human!" ”

Wang Xu frowned, and walked over to take a look under the escort of the others.

A man covered only in animal skins was lying in a pool of blood, with an arrow in the shoulder, but still breathing, and should not be dead.

Everyone's faces were very ugly, because they all thought that this wild man was a monster transformed into a mandrill.

"What should I do?" Even Wang Li's face was a little ugly.

"It's people." Wang Xu shook his head, "Bandage him and see if he can live." ”

"Really human?" Wang Li asked suspiciously.

"What do you say?" Wang Xu raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"That's people." Wang Li nodded, obviously relieved, "Bandage him." ”

A man in a green shirt ran back and took out a wooden box, pulled out an arrow for the wild man with a quick movement, and after a rough bandage, tied his hands and feet.

"There should be people living here, these mandrills may have been raised by them, or they may have raised them, no matter what, they have to be found." Wang Xu's eyes flashed with excitement.

Because there is a very obvious smell of sulfur on this person's body.

This is a smell that can only be contaminated by long-term soaking in hot springs or around sulfur mines, and those mandrills also have this smell, which shows that it is not far from the destination, and Wang Xu is naturally very happy to get this news.
