Chapter 173: Territorial Consciousness

Gritting his teeth, he thought of the fierce and vicious celestial statue in the thundercloud again, it seems that I was wrong, how can the realm that can be guarded by the celestial statue not be dangerous?

"How...... What to do? ”

Zhou Fang's voice trembled a little.

"Don't panic."

I shook my head and stared at the black-haired monkey taking the lead.

"Since they did not attack us directly, but thought of such a ruse, it means that they are not sure that they will be able to defeat us.

So don't panic and don't let them see that we're scared. ”

After I finished speaking, Zhou Fang nodded heavily, but the Wang team on the other side took over again.

"Little Brother Jiang, there is one thing you said wrong......

I was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked the king team what I was wrong.

"Not only are these monkeys unsure, but they're also afraid of us, and they just hold on and don't want us to know."

The king team replied simply.

"How so?"

Of course I don't understand.

"Look closely, the third monkey to the left of the leader."

The king team replied, and I quickly looked over as well, only to find that the third monkey to the left of the leading monkey had no arm......

Yes, there is not an arm, and judging by the neat cuts, it should have been cut off not by a wild beast, but by a sharp blade!

Of course, the blade must only be used by humans, and animals can't make it at all, that is, humans have been here before, and they have rubbed against these black-haired monkeys with cold weapons!

So even if there are a lot of these black-haired monkeys, they don't dare to attack us rashly, because we all carry knives, and they know the power of sharp blades, and they remember the pain of being hurt by cold weapons!

Of course, this is a good thing for us at this time, these dozens of monkeys with fangs under the black pressure, if we really move, we really can't get out of the whole body.

"Follow me, don't take your eyes off these monkeys, don't let them think we're taking us lightly."

Team Wang spoke again, and Zhou Fang and I also nodded, still staring at all the black-haired monkeys, and at the same time, following the team of kings who took the lead, walking towards the weeds on the other side of us, which were more than twice as tall as us.

And as we moved, the black-haired monkeys that stood up with us bowed also moved.

Almost as soon as we took a step towards the grass on the other side, they took a step towards us.

My heart tightened, and my hand holding the Tibetan knife was completely clenched until we reached the edge of the weeds, and the black-haired monkeys were no more than ten meters away from us.

Ten meters, at the speed of a beast, it was just an instant fight.

And just then, just as we were about to enter the weeds, the black-haired monkeys, who seemed not to want to give up on our ducks that had flown to their mouths, pounced on us at the shouting of the black-haired monkeys in the lead.

For a while, the sight was full of the figure of the black-haired monkey, as well as the fangs as sharp as knives.

Almost at the same time, the king team at the front of us pulled the rope around our waist and ran with a loud roar.

Zhou Fang and I reacted under the movement of the rope around our waists, and we didn't look at the black-haired monkeys that pounced on us, turned around and went directly into the weeds with the king team.

"Cut the rope!"

I roared as I slipped into the weeds, wielding my Tibetan knife and severing the hemp rope that connected us.

Although this hemp rope can keep us from getting separated, as soon as we enter the weeds, the rope becomes a burden, because it will catch the weeds and slow down our movements.

Cut off the hemp rope, and ran wildly towards the depths of the weeds with Zhou Fang and the Wang team.

If it was on flat ground, we would definitely not be able to outrun those black-haired monkeys, but in this weed, any weed is as thick as a banana tree, and with such a dense density, it will definitely affect the speed of those black-haired monkeys.

It's like a Bugatti Veyron driving into the woods, and you have to slow down where you should slow down, otherwise you will definitely crash into the trees in the woods.

Sure enough, although there were bursts of the footsteps of those black-haired monkeys in the weeds behind me, they never caught up with us and followed us closely.

It was all about running with all the functions of the body, until a few minutes later, the sound of water flowing in the weeds in front of us was heard.

I looked towards the end of the weeds in front of me, and sure enough, there was a blank space at the end of the weeds ahead, which meant that we were about to go through the whole weed, and we were about to reach the edge of the weeds.

And beyond the edge of the weeds, the sound of water came from ......

was uneasy in his heart, but he didn't dare to slow down under his feet, and rushed out of the edge of the weeds with Zhou Fang and the Wang team.

Then, a gravel field appeared in sight, and at the end of the gravel field was a rushing river that ran through the entire overgrowth.

On the other side of the river are weeds, but with the width of the river and the rapidity of the water, we can't get by.

Of course, we don't know what's downstream of the river, so we can't jump into it easily.

At this time, the king team on the side pointed sharply to a place in the middle of the river, and I looked along and found that the middle of the river was actually thick. The big trunk, although there is no head and tail, we may be able to use the trunk to go to the other side of the river.

Without hesitation, they looked at the king team and nodded, and they all rushed towards the river at the end of the gravel field.

However, at this moment, a pair of hands grabbed the arms of me and the king's team, and pulled us to a halt.

Of course Zhou Fang was among us, I looked at Zhou Fang and frowned, of course I didn't understand why he asked us to stop, didn't he dare to jump to the trunk in the middle of the river? Doesn't he know how to swim?

However, Zhou Fang didn't look at us, but pulled us to a halt and stared at the weeds we had just walked through.

I also looked back at the weeds behind us, and just one glance, I couldn't help frowning.

Because I only saw that the black-haired monkeys were gathering at the edge of the weeds that we had just passed through behind us, but the black-haired monkeys did not continue to pursue us over the weeds, so they stopped strangely at the edge of the weeds.

Yes, it was as if there was an invisible wall at the edge of the weeds and gravel that kept the black-haired monkeys in the way on the other side.

It's so weird, all the black-haired monkeys stay at the edge of the weeds, and they don't jump over the weeds, but they all converge at the edge, staring at us with hideous faces.

"What's the situation?"

Zhou Fang muttered.

"You don't have to ask me for any more information when you step into this wood, because this forest is full of yin energy, and I can't discern any clues from it."

I shook my head, and the black-haired monkeys that had gathered at the edge of the weeds seemed to have given up on our pursuit, and they all turned around and disappeared at the edge of the weeds.

I couldn't help frowning, glanced at Zhou Fang and Team Wang, and approached the weeds together.

Holding our breath, one step at a time, we reached the edge of the weeds, and looked through the gaps in the weeds into the depths of the grass.

All the black-haired monkeys were gone, and they all disappeared into the weeds at the moment when they were about to catch up with us.

But why? Why don't these black-haired monkeys dare to jump over the weeds?

I couldn't help but look at the gravel road at my feet, and along the gravel road to the river that cut through the weeds.

There is nothing out of the ordinary, this gravel road is an ordinary gravel road, so why did those black-haired monkeys stop?

"Territorial awareness."

At this time, the king team next to me opened his mouth.

As I listened, my heart couldn't help but move.

Yes, territorial awareness, if it is because of this, these black-haired monkeys dare not step into this gravel road, then it can be explained.

In nature, animals and groups of animals and groups divide their territories, and the way to do this is to leave their own scent on the edge of their territory to warn other animals not to invade.

For example, a tiger or a lion scatters on the ground. urine, other weak animals smell it and will avoid it early.

So according to this theory, the reason why these black-haired monkeys shouldn't jump over the weeds to attack us is because the gravel behind the weeds is the territory of other beasts?

I chuckled and stared at the whole gravel field, and so did the King, and it seemed that he had thought of this as well.

It's just that, no matter how we observe, the gravel field we are in at this time is an ordinary gravel field, not to mention other beasts, not a single bird has seen it.

So, isn't it because of territorial awareness?

But if it's not because of territorial awareness, why do those black-haired monkeys stop at the edge of the weeds?

Of course, he couldn't figure it out, until Zhou Fang, who was beside him, glared at him and pointed to the river at the end of the gravel field.

"Forgotten life, gone......"

I was stunned and looked along the river at the end of the gravel field, but found nothing.

There is nothing wrong with the fact that the water in the river is still turbulent...... Wait a minute!

Suddenly, my eyes widened as well, for I only noticed that the trunks of the trees that had just emerged from the water at the end of the gravel field were gone!

Yes! The trunk of the tree that we found on the surface of the river just now, is completely gone.

"Did you wash it away?"

The king team on the side took over.

I shook my head and stared at the river, for I only noticed from my perception that there was a strong yin qi in the woods full of yin qi, surging in a regular pattern, in the river at the end of the gravel road......

"Running ......"

Before he could spit out this one word, suddenly, the surface of the river at the end of the gravel road boiled over, and a black shadow like a towering tree, with an incomparably surging yin qi, broke out of the river......
