Four or five meters above my head was the top of the Monkey Temple, but right above me, there was a very small and thin figure on top of the cave.

The thing loomed in the flickering light of the fire, but the dark red eyes never left me.

Seeing this, I didn't make a sound, and I felt the dagger on my waist, but suddenly I realized that my body had been replaced, and now I didn't even have a fig leaf on my body, let alone a firewood knife dagger.

In desperation, I retreated to the offering table and reached out to take the candlestick on the table, and then tore off the candle that was inserted in the candlestick, leaving only the candlestick in the palm of my left hand to temporarily serve as an awl.

The rotting monkeys above me seemed to smell danger when they saw me holding the candlestick, which must have been their innate instinct as beasts.

It crawled at the roof of the cave for a while, and in an instant disappeared into the darkness in the corner.

It was no coincidence that it appeared, and I thought that the purpose of the rotting monkey lying on the roof of the cave should be to guard the only way out, and because of this, an extremely strange idea jumped into my head.

These rotting monkeys have been hunting us since I was a sophomore in the woods.

So, could they have brought us here on purpose?

The rotting monkey above my head just now didn't choose to sneak up on me before I found him, but stayed near the only way out of the monkey temple.

Is it intended to keep me here for the same purpose as I imagined?

And the longer this conjecture stayed in my head, the more plausible it became, so I simply ignored the rotting monkey completely, and just took the candlestick and began to look for a hole in the ground where I could go to the next level.

It's not a big place, so it's not hard to find.

I also searched for more than ten seconds, and then I saw a shove of broken wood on the ground behind the monkey's dried corpse, which had long since decayed into black.

Kicking open the splintered wooden plank, a dark hole in the earth appeared in front of my eyes.

This hole was dug extremely neatly and smoothly, and the wooden plank that was once covered with it must have been artificial, and Lao Xiucai happened to fall on this wooden plank all the way to the bottom of the Monkey Temple.

I don't think much about it anymore, and I try to jump off the rotten wood on the ground with my foot.

Thinking about Lao Xiucai's age and body, he didn't fall to death directly after falling four times.

Presumably, this drop will not be very large, and it should not be a problem to jump directly with my physical fitness, so I plan to jump down as soon as I squat on the ground.

"Gah-"

Suddenly, there was a sound in my ears like old wooden parts rubbing against each other.

The sound was like pushing open an old wooden door whose hinges had long since been distorted.

I subconsciously looked over, but found that the head of the monkey corpse one meter away had turned a hundred and eighty degrees, and now the two dark holes were staring straight at me.

"It's alive again..."

I cursed in my heart and planned to jump straight down, I didn't want to clash with these things head-on, first, it didn't make sense, and second, I didn't have any advantage at all with my bare hands now.

As soon as I put my hands on both sides of the hole, a red light flashed in the hole, and suddenly a rotting monkey rushed out!

With a strange scream, the rotting monkey's fangy mouth bit down on my left collarbone, and I fell backwards as I reached out and pulled it off!

But the teeth of this thing are clasped like animal traps, and they keep twisting their necks and pulling and biting back, as if they are going to tear my collarbone off!

The sharp pain in my collarbone turned into anger in my mind!

I pressed my two thumbs directly on the two eye sockets of the rotten monkey and smashed it hard, and its two shriveled and sticky eyeballs were almost pressed into my brain!

The rotting monkey let go of its mouth with black water flowing from its two eye sockets, let out a heart-rending scream, and then suddenly scurried around on the ground like a headless fly.

I didn't expect this thing to be afraid of pain, I always thought they were the kind of zombie-like ghost thing that didn't feel anything!

I gasped and looked down at my collarbone, where seven or eight blood holes were gushing out of the top and bottom rows, and there were other very small black thread-like things writhing around the wound.

That little black worm was very disgusting, very similar to the Gu in my arms that I had seen on the hemp rope that summoned the evil spirit, but it was much smaller.

This thing is disgusting enough just to look at, not to mention that I am afraid, so I hurriedly wiped it with my hands, but at this moment, countless strange cries of rotten monkeys broke out in the hole just now.

Their voices were already shrill and piercing, and the howl was like a skewer being smashed into my ear, and it shook me so hard that my eardrums tingled and my brain hurt.

Immediately after that, countless rotten monkeys poured out of the burrow like water in the sewers, and in an instant, four or five rotten monkeys pounced on me, and the force knocked me backwards.

My back slammed the stone platform, and the back of my head slammed the monkey corpse on the platform to the ground.

But for a moment, the audience fell silent!

All the rotting monkeys froze in place, neither running nor screaming, and the monkeys that had just pounced on me and bitten me also fell to the ground, and I seemed to see a hint of confusion in their movements.

After a few seconds, it was as if the homeroom teacher had just left the self-study class for elementary school students, and the surrounding area slowly became noisy.

At this time, I finally figured out the characteristics of these monkeys, and directly a vicious dog pounced on the stone platform and fell to the ground, holding the dried corpse of the monkey in rags in my arms.

"Move again! Lao Tzu knocked your grandfather's head into a hole! ”

With the hostages, I immediately became arrogant, I didn't expect this feeling of holding someone else's handle so cool, those monkeys were instantly cowardly, looking at me from a distance, I didn't even dare to scream, and I didn't dare to show my teeth.

I can't care if this dried corpse in my arms will move now, and even if it is alive, even the muscles have shrunk over the years, and the bite will definitely not hurt as this group of monkeys.

"What's wrong? Are you all scared? I flicked the corpse directly, and then put it at my feet, untied the "cloak" on his body, and wrapped it around my waist.

Although there is no one else nearby at this time, there is only a group of monkeys, but the ** throwing around is too unsightly, so it is better to surround it.

However, this raises another problem.

If Gao Er and Qin Huai have been transformed by the black shadow, then why are they still wearing clothes, it stands to reason that there can be no and should not be such a difference in details.

Did they lie to me?

In fact, I have thought about this before, that is, even if the black shadow has the weird ability to "adjust" the human body, it is very unreasonable that even clothes can be created out of thin air.

The reshaping of the flesh is already extremely sci-fi in itself, even clothes, pants, dyes and even zipper buttons can be reshaped?

I had a vague feeling that something wasn't quite right.
