Chapter 15: The Ghost-Faced Mandrill
Xu Fu stared at those monkey-like monsters vigilantly and nodded: "Ordinary mandrills don't take the initiative to attack people, they have yellow-brown hair on their bodies, and their body size is not so big. If I'm not mistaken, they're supposed to be ghost-faced mandrills."
Those ghost-faced mandrills seemed to understand that Xu Fu knew his own details, and opened their mouths to show Bai Sensen's teeth and roared at Xu Fu. I don't know if I was afraid of the crowd around Xu Fu or the fire next to me, but I kept staring at everyone viciously, but I didn't rush over.
Xu Fu said while looking at those ghost-faced mandrills: "Mandrills, legend has it that they are a kind of monster that has cultivated into essence in the mountains, with a long body and a black body, and infinite strength. It can run faster than a leopard, tear a tiger and leopard with its bare hands, and there is basically no chance of survival for anyone who touches them, and the mandrill has a very long lifespan. And this ghost-faced mandrill is the overlord of mandrills, but they have long disappeared for thousands of years, why is there still on Penglai Island? β
At this time, the ghost-faced mandrill suddenly attacked. Furry claws swept across a disciple's face with the sound of whirring wind. Suddenly, the disciple covered his eyes and screamed, and his face was bleeding profusely.
Xu Fu hurriedly shouted: "Everyone be careful, these things are smarter." They will attack the human eye first. Another ghost-faced mandrill pounced on Xu Fu, Xu Fu couldn't dodge, and a piece of flesh was torn off his back by the ghost-faced mandrill, and Xu Fu's face was distorted in pain.
The ghost-faced mandrill stuffed the meat on its claws into its mouth and chewed it, then stretched out its claws and rushed towards Xu Fu, who hurriedly swung his sword to block. The claws of the ghost-faced mandrill were immediately slashed to the ground by the sword, and at this time, due to the loss of the claws. The ghost-faced mandrill didn't dare to rush again, but just stared at Xu Fu with a vicious gaze on the side.
Xu Fu kicked the two bloody claws on the ground to the side, and then snorted hard. The wounded ghost-faced mandrill seemed to be enraged, and it quickly burrowed into the grass next to it with a long roar in the sky.
The other ghost faces that appeared before had also been killed by everyone, and when several disciples were about to chase and kill the ghost face mandrill whose arms had been cut off, Xu Fu stopped them: "Don't chase it yet, the mountains here are high and dense, and there may be something in it." Besides, poor eyesight at night, what if there are other ghost-faced mandrills? Forget it! I've cut off both of its arms, let it go. β
After speaking, he touched his wet back, and the clothes on his back were already wet with blood at this time, and a disciple simply bandaged Xu Fu. Xu Fu looked at the ghost-faced mandrills on the ground, just a few beasts, and killed three disciples at once. Suddenly, a wave of anger rose from his abdomen, and he took his sword and slashed at the corpses of the ghost-faced mandrills.
A disciple grabbed Xu Fu: "Master, take care of your body!" Xu Fu put the sword back into the scabbard at his waist and was about to sit down and rest. In the woods behind him, there was an endless sound of branches breaking, and a large group of ghost-faced mandrills came out of the grass and surrounded Xu Fu and the others.
Xu Fu was shocked: Just a few ghost-faced mandrills are so difficult to deal with, and the ghost-faced mandrills in front of him are only afraid of no less than fifty. Thinking of this, Xu Fu's legs began to tremble.
In the group of mandrills, the mandrill that had just had its claws cut off was quietly leaning against another mandrill. Xu Fu fixed his eyes and saw that the mandrill was much larger than the mandrill next to it, and there were actually three tails growing on the back.
Xu Fu said in shock: "Three-tailed mandrill, it seems that it has become the climate. It seems that this mandrill can't be eliminated without it" A disciple asked Xu Fu: "Master, isn't that mandrill just three more tails, even ten tails, I will cut it off." β
Xu Fu shook his head: "This mandrill itself is a spirit in the deep mountains and old forests, and it can grow a tail after cultivating for a hundred years, and that mandrill actually has three tails, it seems that it has been cultivating here for three hundred years." A mandrill with one tail is so difficult to deal with, let alone a mandrill with three tails. And Lao Bai is not here at this time, if only Lao Bai was here. Speaking of this, Xu Fu sighed.
The broken-arm mandrill looked at Xu Fu and nodded at the three-tailed mandrill, and the three-tailed mandrill roared at the crowd, and then, those mandrills launched an attack one after another.
One of the disciples was unable to dodge and was impaled through the chest by the claws of a mandrill. The other disciple was furious and rushed at the mandrill with his sword. Seeing that it was about to slash the mandrill, the three-tailed mandrill next to it suddenly rushed over at a very fast speed, ripped off the disciple's arm with one claw, and then grabbed the disciple's neck with another claw. Suddenly, five blood holes appeared in the disciple's neck, and blood splattered out. After killing that disciple, the Three-Tailed Mandrill returned to its place and looked at Xu Fu with fierce eyes.
Xu Fu thought to himself: It seems that it is impossible to escape death tonight. At this moment, a mandrill that rushed towards Xu Fu with its claws was smashed to the ground by a huge stone. Xu Fu turned his head, it was Lao Bai who came back.
Lao Bai looked at the three-tailed mandrill, and then lifted a boulder and smashed it over. The three-tailed mandrill was looking at the battle in front of him, when he suddenly heard the sound of the wind whirring in his ears, and hurriedly jumped to the side. Dodged the boulder's smash.
But the mandrill with the broken arm couldn't dodge, and was smashed into flesh by the huge stone. The three-tailed mandrill saw Lao Bai let out a roar and rushed over, and Lao Bai swung his fist to meet it.
Not long after, Lao Bai carried the body of the three-tailed mandrill and threw it on the ground, and when the other mandrills saw that the three-tailed mandrill was dead, they screamed and turned their heads into the grass and disappeared.
It was almost dawn, Xu Fu looked at the only two remaining disciples behind him who were covered in bruises and cried: "Master, I'm sorry for you, Master shouldn't have brought you to Penglai Island in the first place, let alone take you ongoing, I think so many people came out at the beginning, and now there are only three of us masters and apprentices leftγγγγγ β
Lao Bai shook his head: "I just felt an aura at the bottom of the pool, so I went over and took a look." I didn't expect such a big thing to happen here, alas! As I said a long time ago, Penglai Island is not a place for you to come. You don't believe me. The real danger on Penglai Island hasn't come yet, and there are only three of you left. Are you going to keep going? Otherwise, I'll send you away from the bottom of the pool!" β
Lao Bai pointed to the bottom of the pool and said, "I just found a Yin River at the bottom of the pool, which leads directly to the sea. It's a very safe road, and as long as you want, I'll take you out of Penglai Island right away. β
Xu Fu wiped his tears: "I've lived for most of my life, it's enough." My two disciples are still young, and I don't want anything to happen to them again. There are also people who need to continue to pass on the mountain school. β
One disciple pointed to another disciple who was already injured and cried, "Master, I don't want to leave you. I'm not afraid of death, I'm going to follow you. If you have to let one person out, let the little junior brother go out! β
The injured disciple also cried: "Master, I don't want to leave you. I'm going to follow you ... Cough.. Cough.. cough" coughed violently, and blood spilled from the corners of his mouth.
Xu Fu touched the little disciple's head and smiled kindly: "You listen to Master and Senior Brother, you have been seriously injured." There are more and more dangerous things ahead, and it is a burden to carry you with you. Obedient, we still need someone to continue to pass on the mountain school. But remember, you must not use the spells of your own sect to do evil, and harm the heavens and reason. Otherwise, God wouldn't let you go. Also, let's find a new place to start living after you go out! Don't go back to Daqin."
After speaking, he took out a parchment book from his bosom and handed it to the injured disciple, and then took off the jade plaque hanging around his neck and hung it around the neck of the little disciple.
Xu Fu clasped his hands into fists and said, "Lao Bai, we've known each other for some days, and I'm going to ask you to do me a favor today." Take him out, and then you go back to the East China Sea! We don't plan to live anymore."
Lao Bai smiled and nodded: "I've taken care of sending him out, but with your skills, it's hard to move an inch here." And I promised you that I would go with you. After speaking, he looked at Xu Fu.
Xu Fu nodded: "It's worth knowing such a divine fish friend as you in my life." Then please send him out immediately! We are here waiting for you to come back. β
Lao Bai nodded and picked up the little disciple and jumped into the water, and the little disciple cried heartbreakingly on Lao Bai's back: "Master, senior brother, take care!" Xu Fu turned his back and didn't look at him, and the disciple who stayed behind smiled at Xu Fu: "Master, it's so ugly for you to cry!" Wipe your tears away! The little junior brother and Lao Bai have already walked away," Xu Fu turned his head and sat down.
Lao Bai picked up the little disciple on his back and walked around at the bottom of the pool, and then crossed a narrow underground river. The light in front of him was getting brighter and brighter, and Lao Bai knew that he had left Penglai Island, so he carried the little disciple on his back and swam towards his own body, the white giant fish, and then put the little disciple on the back of the fish and swam to the wide sea.
The white giant fish carried the little disciple for a long time, and finally came to a huge reef. Lao Bai smiled: "There are often fishing boats passing by here, you are waiting here." I'm going back to Penglai Island to accompany your master, you must remember your master's words! After saying that, he shook the huge fishtail and dived into the deep sea and disappeared.
