Chapter 13: Sunflowers

The powder-faced mandrill is also commonly known as the ghost-faced mandrill by adventurers, once it is targeted or prey by them, they will chase it endlessly, and it is a kind of magical beast that neither Warcraft nor humans are willing to encounter in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.

Yuan Yan had already understood their habits as early as when he was in Xiao Yuancheng, but he still proposed to flee separately. After such a long period of contact, Yuan Yan already had a clear understanding of the temperament of the child. Under the current circumstances, if Yuan Yan continues to run away with Qi'er, he is likely to become the second Niu Dafu and be sold as bait by Qi'er. Yuan Yan felt that instead of tying his fate to an untrustworthy person, it was better to bring it up and escape separately, at least in the absence of outsiders, some of his hole cards could also be used, and at the same time, he could once again get rid of Yuan Feng's restraints on him.

Sure enough, as Yuan Yan guessed, he had just proposed to escape separately, and the servants over there agreed without hesitation. He even had a feeling that he had already had this idea in his heart!

He didn't wait for Yuan Yan to react further, and before he could finish his words of agreement, he took the lead and ran towards the road he came. Yuan Yan caught a glimpse of his escape route, and couldn't help but feel slightly bitter in his heart: Jiang is really still old and spicy! Originally, he also wanted to escape over there, but when they came, they walked through it once, and they had a general understanding of the terrain and the demonic beasts along the way, which was a great help for escape, but unfortunately he still couldn't rob him.

A small half of the mandrills went to chase after them, and the remaining seven or eight also surrounded Yuanyan. Yuan Yan no longer hesitated, and fled in the southwest direction with Xiaotu. The speed on both sides was very fast, very fast, and the sound of shouting and chasing on both sides was no longer audible.

The mandrill's shouts were always three or four meters behind Yuan Yan, and on one or two occasions he was even close to grabbing his clothes. Every time he was about to catch it, Yuan Yan would always skillfully use the big tree or boulder in front of him to widen the distance between the two sides. Yuan Yan had already burst out of all his potential, and he didn't dare to slow down at all. A few times, Yuan Yan took the mandrill straight into the territory of other demonic beasts, trying to let other demonic beasts to contain the mandrill behind him. But before those demonic beasts could get angry, they saw the mandrills chasing not far behind Yuan Yan, and all the demonic beasts immediately fled with their tails between their legs.

Refining two-thirds of the yang energy in his body has been consumed, Yuan Yan's heart is becoming more and more anxious, what he sees in front of him is still one giant tree after another, he needs to find a favorable terrain to play his last hole card. Xiao Tu, who had been following behind Yuan Yan on the side, suddenly "hissed" twice and swam towards the south, Yuan Yan and Xiao Tu already had a heart, and immediately followed the turn and ran to the south.

Yuan Yan ran out not far before he saw a big depression on the ground in front of him, and Xiaotu had already taken the lead in swimming, and Yuan Yan jumped down without thinking. The pit was six or seven meters deep, and after jumping down, Yuan Yan found that there was a hole more than one person high on the bottom wall of the pit, and Xiao Tu was already waiting for him in the hole, and he didn't have time to make a judgment, so Yuan Yan also followed in.

This is a cave left by an unknown demonic beast, and it is more than ten meters into it. The whole cave is not big, it is only more than one person tall from beginning to end, and it is already a little crowded after one person and one snake enter.

The group of mandrills chased them outside the cave almost at the same time that Yuan Yan went into the cave. However, they did not immediately follow into the cave, which was only large enough for one mandrill to enter at a time. Mandrills are cautious and suspicious by nature, and they are alert enough to the sudden appearance of such a cave here, and no one wants to come first. A group of mandrills stood guard in the pit outside the cave, looking at the cave with orange light in their eyes.

Seeing that the mandrill would not come in again for a while, after telling Xiaotu to stare at the entrance of the cave, Yuan Yan directly sat cross-legged on the ground and hurried to recover his consumption.

Yuan Yan had only recovered five or six points of yang energy, and he was awakened by Xiao Tu. Yuan Yan stood up and looked outside, and found that the group of mandrills that had been chasing Yan'er had also rushed here, and he didn't know if he had escaped.

After a lot of noise about the mandrill outside, a mandrill finally walked into the cave. To appease Xiao Tu, who wanted to rush up to fight, Yuan Yan stood in front of Xiao Tu and watched the mandrill walk in. The current terrain is very favorable to Yuan Yan, the individual strength of the mandrills is not high, and under the current terrain, they can only come in one by one, as long as the method is appropriate, Yuan Yan feels that he can solve this group of mandrills.

Yuan Yan held a flying knife in his left hand, and held a long needle in his right hand, looking at the mandrill that walked in cautiously, and did not do it immediately. In the previous life, as a daughter, Yuan Yan was already very familiar with the characteristics of the needle, and when he was alone in the dense forest before, he tried to use the practice method of "Sunflower Treasure Book" to shoot a long needle, and the effect was also quite shocking, and Yuan Yan decided to take this as one of his hole cards. Now in this terrain, it's time to put this hole card to the test.

The mandrill had already walked into a distance of more than three meters, and Yuan Yan picked up the "Sunflower Treasure Book" and poured yang energy into the long needle in his hand, and threw it out towards the mandrill. The mandrill's body blocked most of the light at the entrance, causing the cave to be relatively dim, and the long needle was very small and difficult to find, and the mandrill pierced its head before it realized the danger, and the yang energy attached to the needle broke the mandrill's head from the inside the moment it penetrated the head. The mandrill's body shook and fell straight down.

The mandrill outside the cave saw that his companion fell to the ground not long after he entered, and suddenly rushed in one after another desperately, Yuan Yan also solved the mandrill in the cave one after another, and in a short period of time, there were seven or eight more mandrill corpses in the cave. The rest of the mandrills kept shouting outside the cave but didn't dare to come in rashly, Yuan Yan also secretly exhaled, and stood in place to slowly recover the yang energy in his body.

The stalemate between the two sides soon came to night, during which Yuan Yan deliberately cut open the corpses of the mandrills in the cave one by one in front of the mandrills outside the cave and took out the magic core, and even roasted a mandrill for dinner, making the mandrills outside the cave scream angrily, but helpless.

When it was dawn the next day, a group of seven or eight mandrills came outside the cave, one of them was obviously larger than the others, and his whole face was no longer pink but yellowish-brown. Yuan Yan looked at the mandrill and frowned: this is a demon-faced mandrill king, and his long needle doesn't know if it can shoot through his fur.

After a sharp roar of the mandrill king, all the mandrills rushed into the cave desperately, fortunately, Yuan Yan had prepared a large number of long needles earlier, and one by one the mandrills rushed in to solve it, and the mandrill king outside the cave was even more furious when he saw this, and roared and rushed in, but the place in the cave was too narrow, and Yuan Yan's long needle was also sharp and abnormal, and then Yuan Yan shot it in the head three times in a row and finally fell down unwillingly.
