Chapter 14: The Wise Monkey

Until the smoke and dust of the explosion cleared, everyone gathered again to the place where the explosion had just occurred.

Hou Yue also walked over from behind, looked at the ground that had been turned up by the explosion, and then looked at the two corpses not far away, and asked with a gloomy face, "What about others?" ”

Everyone bowed their heads silently, so many people surrounded and suppressed, and they were actually played by others between applause, which made them all feel ashamed.

"What about Li Shun?" After two more glances, Hou Yue suddenly strangely found that there seemed to be one less person in everyone's figures, looking at the subordinates in front of him who seemed to have just noticed, Hou Yue immediately shouted: "Go and find it." ”

Two minutes later, Li Shun's body was found behind a tree.

Seeing Li Shun, whose throat was pierced by a tree branch and whose body was nailed to the tree, everyone's fists were clenched tightly.

"Helmsman, it's all my ......" Er Niu suddenly broke down and cried, and the six-foot man cried bitterly and wiped his tears and whimpered at Hou Yue: "Just now, the beard asked the three of us to go together, and I blamed me for not stopping them, if I called everyone together, they wouldn't have died." ”

Hou Yue patted Erniu's shoulder, comforted him silently, looked up at the only eleven remaining subordinates around him, and said in a solemn tone: "Do you understand, this is Da Song!" It's just an ordinary county king, just make us elite brothers so embarrassed, they are not those weak chickens we met overseas before. Put away your arrogance, and if you continue to fight on your own, then we will all stay here and be fertilizer for these plants. ”

Everyone's eyes were all awe-inspiring, bowing to Hou Yue, naturally turning their backs to their backs, forming a big circle, surrounding Hou Yue in the middle, and walking slowly towards the depths of the dense forest.

In the dense canopy of a tree, Zhao Lan looked at the crowd gathered in a large circle below, her brows furrowed, and her fingers rubbed unconsciously.

Just before the thistle exploded, he rushed out and killed another bandit, but when he was about to repeat the old trick, he suddenly found that there were still the last two of the thistles left in the blanket.

Reluctantly putting one of the thistles into his belt, Zhao Lan threw the blanket to the ground, climbed the canopy, and prepared to take out the rest of the people by sneak attack, but was speechless to find that the rest of the people were all gathered together.

One against twelve......

Zhao Lan licked his lips and denied the crazy thoughts in his heart, he is not an impulsive person, he is not seventy percent sure, he will not make a rash move.

Sweeping his gaze to the surrounding canopy, Zhao Lan suddenly saw the monkey figure flashing in the canopy, his eyes suddenly flashed, and the corners of his mouth curled.

The circle formed by the bandits slowly moved through the forest, and everyone paid attention to the movements in all directions in front of them, lest Zhao Lan suddenly jump out of a corner and sneak attack.

Hou Yue walked in the center of the circle, looking at the dense canopy above them, his eyes flowing with a contemplative look.

If he was Zhao Lan, where would he choose to attack from?

"Zhang Duo."

After walking for a while, Hou Yue suddenly called out to his cronies, signaling him to get closer to him, his eyes still scanning the canopy above, and asked in a low voice: "How many bows and crossbows did you bring with you when you came out this time?" ”

"Helmsman, there are not many marksmen among the brothers on this trip, and this time I only brought seven short crossbows. And just when the beast rioted, the subordinates paid a little attention to it, and the brothers who were good at the right time had been killed by the beasts, and there were only two crossbows left. Zhang Duo said, then took out a delicate short crossbow from his waist, and pulled out a fine short line from his waist, skillfully connected the crossbow arm, and handed it to Hou Yue.

Holding the handle of the crossbow arm, he took the two arrow boxes from Zhang Duona, and Hou Yue said to him: "I remember that you have always been very accurate in shooting crossbows, and you have one crossbow ready, and if there is any movement in the leaves above, you will shoot with me!" ”

"Yes."

Zhang Duo didn't talk nonsense, took a short crossbow from his companion, and buckled the string to the crossbow arm.

But just as he was putting the crossbow string on and adjusting it accurately, he suddenly heard Hou Yue beside him shout: "Be careful." ”

Hurriedly winding the crossbow arrows, Zhang Duo picked up the short crossbow with both hands, and looked at the dense leaves above with Hou Yue, but did not see anything.

Not daring to take it lightly, he turned his body around, and Zhang Duo nervously mobilized the short crossbow, pointing at any place where there was wind and grass.

A monkey dressed in a "garment" made of countless leaves suddenly appeared in the bandits' field of vision, causing them to be nervous. But after seeing that it was nothing more than a monkey, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to move forward.

The monkey seemed to be very excited, constantly jumping on the branches above the crowd, sometimes climbing onto the branches of one tree, pulling the leaves, choosing a beautiful color, inserting it into the belt made of vines around his waist, and then jumping between the branches of another tree, pulling the vines that had grown on the tree for an unknown number of years, quickly rushing out of the dense and opaque canopy, wandering over the heads of Zhang Duo and others, and sprinkling countless leaves along the way.

While sprinkling the leaves, the monkey jumped on another vine, hung on it with its tail, and swayed its body upside down from the vine, and once again dangled in front of the crowd, grinning at them and squeaking and grimacing, as if mocking their timidity.

Knocking off the leaves that the monkey sprinkled on his head, Yanagi Jiro looked at the monkey who was dancing on a tree that had been transferred not far away, and sighed in surprise: "Is this the monkey of the Great Song Dynasty?" Why is it so much smarter than the monkeys on the island, I always feel like it's like a person."

The rest of the people looked at the dancing monkey, looked at each other, nodded, and felt the same absurdity in their hearts.

Hou Yue glanced at the dancing monkey twice, and then turned his head to look at the canopy above, but then his brows furrowed.

He always felt that the canopy in front of him seemed to be a little different from what it had just been.

"What nonsense, if you don't speed up, the king of the county will escape."

Zhang Duo reprimanded the people who stopped dissatisfied, urging them to continue to chase forward.

The reprimanded people immediately returned to their previous state, but the monkeys became more violent, and more monkeys sprang out of the forest, grabbing vines and swinging over their heads, sprinkling leaves, branches, and even some small insects.

A slender twig with sharp spikes smashed into the shoulders of a man with two knives in his hand and a large black fur on his chest, and the spikes at the end of the branch happened to pierce his ear.

"Ahh

Covering his ears that had been stabbed by a branch, Biao Han angrily threw a knife in his hand at the monkey flying in front of him, and roared angrily: "Give me death." ”

There was a muffled "poof", and the monkey, which was holding a vine and squeaking and laughing, suddenly shook its body, released the vine between its claws in mid-air, and smashed it to the ground with a long knife that pierced its chest.

Seeing their companions killed, all the monkeys suddenly scattered like birds and beasts, and disappeared without a trace from the branches in front of everyone's eyes in an instant, leaving only a stump of branches and leaves.

Walking up to the fallen monkey, Biao Han stretched out his knife from the monkey's corpse on the ground, snorted angrily, and turned to his companion.

But the moment he turned around, a flying knife with a ghostly light suddenly flew out of the dense canopy behind him, turning into a slender white rainbow and shooting at his back.
