Chapter 294: Monkeys

When I looked back at the dried corpse, I realized that the cause of his death seemed to be a little different from that of the others.

The sallow skin had a hideous expression, and it could be seen that although the eyes had become hollow holes, the gaze was squinting downward, staring at the abyss under his feet.

It's like dying and being afraid that something will crawl out of the abyss, and there are no tiny hairs growing on it.

At the same time, the fat man found a bronze scale armor on the chain.

These strange scales resemble the strange monkeys we encountered on the sarcophagus platform, all hairless.

According to the secrets depicted on the murals, those things were originally accidentally created by warlocks during alchemy, and later multiplied in ancient tombs.

The most important thing is that the faces of the monkeys change according to what they see, and it is precisely because of this that the monkeys became fat after the fat man fell into the abyss under the ancient city.

It almost made me mistakenly think that the fat man had a legendary corpse.

Thinking back to these now, it seems that I am not too far away from myself, and the scenes of the jade jade people found in the sarcophagus are still spinning in my mind, which makes me can't help but be a little afraid.

The chains under my feet rattled, and at this moment I couldn't help but grasp the chains in my hands and look down, this time the vibration of the chains was a little bigger than before, and I had a faint sense of foreboding in my heart.

In the dim light, dozens of pairs of dark green eyes shone through the darkness, followed by a face exactly like mine.

He has a hairless abdomen and scales, with only the tail showing a slight hint of a primate.

I almost let go of the chains in my arms when I saw this scene, and the fat man looked at me with horror on his face, and then realized that something must have happened below.

I didn't dare to let him look down, but I desperately climbed up in an instant, and the fat man followed with a somewhat dazed face.

Those dark green eyes all climbed up the chains under the fat man's feet, and they were so fast that they were about to catch up with us.

I couldn't help but gasp, I couldn't figure out how these weird monkeys were on the chains.

When the fat man and I almost fell into the abyss with so much effort, could it be that these monkeys climbed up from the bottom of the abyss?

Time was pressed and there was no time to think, and the first sturdy blue-scaled monkey was only a few steps away from the fat man at his feet.

I tightened my legs around the chains to keep my body steady, and then took the rifle off my back and held it in my hand.

The bolt was pulled, and a gunshot rang out.

The shot seemed to be a little out of the head, almost slashing against the fat man's head.

It's really too late, otherwise I wouldn't have made such a risky move.

The fat man, though somewhat prepared, was still frightened by the deafening sound of the muzzle above his head, and he spoke immediately.

"Scare Lao Tzu, did you hit it?"

The fat man had a fear of heights, and he never dared to look down.

So much so that when the monkeys were almost crawling up to him, he still didn't know how close the danger was to him.

The shot shattered half of the monkey's head, and instead of falling into the abyss, it stiffened its grip on the chains in its hands, and then the corpse was eaten by the monkeys that rushed up from behind.

I recall that the fat man once said that as long as you don't provoke these strange monkeys, they will not take the initiative to attack humans.

But why, since the sarcophagus was opened, these timid monkeys began to desperately pursue us as if their personalities had changed drastically.

With the smoke filling the muzzle of the gun, I put my rifle back on my back and climbed up a few meters as hard as I could, looking down at the monkeys gnawing on the chains of my companions.

For a moment, it seemed as if something was remembered.

"These monkeys want to live forever, and they think we've drunk the blood of the jade people."

The fat man's words made me pause for a moment, and it seemed that these monkeys also knew the reason why the woman in yellow had not aged for thousands of years in the ancient tomb.

Perhaps the monkeys have bred in the tomb from generation to generation, and they found that the woman in yellow still retains her original appearance among her children and grandchildren, or perhaps the primate IQ can read the contents of the murals in the tomb.

These monkeys also have a greedy desire to live forever.

"Ganzi is still stunned, what are you doing, run."

I interrupted my thoughts with a shout from the fat man, who was at my feet.

After several struggles and hesitations, he finally had the courage to look down, only to see that the monkeys had already eaten the monkeys' carcasses, and some of the monkeys crowded on a wire rope had even been squeezed down and fell straight into the dark abyss.

I came to my senses and used my hands and feet together for a moment, and threw the dagger in my boot to the fat man for self-defense.

But these strange monkeys were extremely fast, and with the time of the previous delay, I once again found an opportunity to get closer, and from time to time I hung on my chain and picked up my rifle to aim and shoot.

The fat man kicked a strange monkey less than half a meter away from us into the abyss with his foot, and he couldn't help but pant out of breath.

It seemed that he had almost reached the limit of his physical strength, and even the palm holding the iron rope trembled slightly.

"Brother, I can't crawl, you don't care about me, I can still resist you for a while if I stay here."

I then opened my mouth and laughed, "Good brother, then you can stay here, every year Alano and I will definitely burn a few more pieces of paper in front of your grave, and when our children are born, they will recognize your portrait as a godfather." ”

The rifle in his hand was aimed at the monkey group, and then another gunshot rang out, and the two blue-scaled monster monkeys that were close together were instantly pierced by bullets, and the corpses were eaten by their companions.

The fat man lowered his head and kept panting, and when he heard my joke, he was instantly full of energy, and climbed up a few meters in one breath and said angrily.

"Good boy, if you dare to hit her, don't say that I don't recognize you as a brother."

I laughed and said, "Even if you think about people, you have to have your life to escape." ”

The cold, piercing chains rattled in the darkness, and the group of monkeys attached to them climbed up from the darkness one by one.

I couldn't help but wonder if these monkeys really crawled from the bottom of the abyss.

Until the bullets in the rifle magazine were completely empty, the fat man handed another handful from his pocket while gasping.

At the moment, there are only five or six bullets left from the original dozen bullets, and if this continues, the monkeys will not even have to fight for our corpses.

The fat man and I could both kill ourselves with the last two bullets, and then fall into the dark depths of the unknown like the monkeys who have fallen into the abyss.

When I mentioned Alano, the fat man's eyes always flashed with a different light, and he told me not to look at the fat man's average appearance.

But in this world, there are really few girls who can enter his eyes, and his first love was once one.

In front of him, Alano who followed the team to the island was another one.
