Chapter Seventy-One: The Cave

Every adult male Vajra Giant Ape has a strength that is enough to match, or even surpass, the strength of the ordinary eighth-level powerhouse, although the female ape is slightly weaker than the male ape, but it is not much worse. Now facing the siege of more than a hundred King Kong giant apes, not to mention the team of just a few people, even the most elite legion in the empire may end in annihilation.

There is no chance of winning head-to-head, but that doesn't mean there is no hope of survival. Luckily, the battlefield was in just the right place: by the river.

"Retreat...... Retreat to the other side!" Ipeya, exhausted, pointed to the river and said to the others, "The great ape is afraid of water. ”

Without saying a word, everyone immediately picked up the seriously wounded who could not move. Nanokhai carried Milali on his back, the "Riverman" carried Sasha, and Julian carried Dante on his back, and rushed into the river together, Nusan Shudena and Ipeia could not swim, so the "Riverman" and Julian used a rope to hold the two landlubbers, and at the same time Nanokhai ordered the Wind Harrier to pour the air into the river to increase the buoyancy of the river, and even pushed the ground to swim to the opposite bank more than ten meters wide.

Seeing that their prey was about to run away, the apes rushed forward in a frenzy. At this time, Owen and Ray, who have no burden, stand in front of the ape group, buying time for the evacuation of their companions.

Although the King Kong Giant Ape is extremely powerful in combat, they have a fatal weakness, that is, they are extremely afraid of water. The river may be a bit deep for humans, but it can only reach the waist of the great ape, but as long as there is water, the great apes do not dare to cross the thunder pond for half a step. There was just a small rock protruding from the river, surrounded by water on three sides, Owen and Ray stood on that rock to resist the attack of the King Kong giant ape, due to the narrow contact surface, Owen and Ray only needed to fight with the two giant apes at the same time, and because they were afraid of falling into the water, the giant apes were afraid to move too much, so Owen and Ray were able to resist for 3 or 4 minutes.

When all of their companions landed safely, Ray and Owen looked at each other, then turned around and jumped into the river with a "porphyr" in the water.

Watching their prey flee from their sights, the great apes became angry and clenched across the river.

However, this venting situation did not last long. After all, apes are the closest primates to humans, and they have a certain ability to think. An older male ape suddenly hugged a nearby tree, only to hear a "click", the tree was effortlessly uprooted, and then the older male ape threw the tree pole into the stream, and after a loud bang, the water splashed and the tree sank to the bottom of the river.

With the first attempt, the other Vajra giant apes followed suit, uprooting the surrounding trees and throwing them into the river.

The 10 humans on the other side of the river were stunned, they didn't expect the apes to behave like this. Once the creek is filled with trees, the apes rush over as if they were walking on the ground, and then all of them become snacks without resistance.

Therefore, the people did not care to rest, and immediately turned and fled.

But less than ten minutes after everyone rushed into the dense forest, the cheerful howls of the great apes could be heard from behind, indicating that these monsters had filled in the small river that was in the way.

The shape shì was rather treacherous, and the team did not dare to make a light, and could not even distinguish between the east and the west, so they could only scurry around like headless flies in the dark, dense woods, and it was only a matter of time before they were caught and caught by the great apes, who knew the terrain well and were superior in numbers and speed.

"Stop! Ipeia said suddenly.

All the people who were running stopped together. Everyone looked at Ipeia expectantly, thinking that the resourceful Empress could come up with something good.

But she actually said something that didn't match: "Look around and see if there are any red eucalyptus trees?"

"What?"

Everyone was stunned, and even Nanokei, who had always trusted Ipeia unconditionally, was taken aback.

"As long as there are red eucalyptus trees, there is a way to live. "Mr. Julian, please light up the surroundings so we can find the red eucalyptus." ”

"However, the light will summon the monster over. Julian touched the cross and hesitated.

"Please believe in the concubine!"

Looking at Ipeya's confident eyes, Julian couldn't resist her, so he activated his magic to release the light on the cross to the brightest light. Suddenly, the woods were as bright as day.

"Look, there's a red eucalyptus tree over there. Ray pointed about 20 meters behind the right of the group.

......

The team targets the red eucalyptus trees, searching for them one by one, and moving towards the next red eucalyptus tree. The consequence of this was to greatly slow down the movement of the team, and at the same time, the light that was too bright also completely exposed its position, so that the distance between it and the group of apes pursuing behind was getting closer and closer.

Eventually, they found the last red eucalyptus tree visible to the naked eye, but instead of finding what Ipeia called "a way to live", they were led into a cul-de-sac with stones on three sides.

At this time, the giant apes, who were pressing step by step in the back, could already see their huge figures with the naked eye.

"Damn. I'm going to guard the exit. Seeing that there was no way out, Lei turned to face the mouth of the alley. In this small space, the numerical superiority of the ape herd could not be fully developed, which was probably the only way Ray could think of coping with it.

"Don't go back. Ipeia was still confident in the poor mountains and waters, and she pointed to a pile of stones at the end of the cul-de-sac, "Don't waste your time. Go get rid of all these rocks!"

Although I don't understand what medicine is sold in Ipeiya's gourd, since everyone has believed her for so long, they can only continue to believe it. Everyone who was able to move went to move stones, including the priest who was not very good at sports, and Ray, who was originally going to guard the exit, saw that Owen also went to move stones without saying a word, and Ray had no choice but to give up his defense and run over to help move stones.

In this way, it is equivalent to exposing one's back defenselessly to the claws of monsters.

Fortunately, as the boulders weighing hundreds or even thousands of kilograms were moved away one by one, a "living road" really appeared in front of the team.

It was a dark cave with a mouth for only one person, and although it was not known where the cave led, there was no doubt that it was the only refuge from the pursuit of the Vajra Giant Ape.

When the king king at the front rushed to a dead end, the team had all gone into the cave and moved the two stones at the entrance of the cave to block the entrance.

Seeing that the human who had been locked in his sight suddenly disappeared without a trace, the King Kong giant ape was at a loss for what to do, and he clenched his chest and feet.

Immediately afterwards, the second, third, and fourth giant apes also rushed into the alley one after another, they did not see humans, they were confused for a while, and then thought that the first giant ape had swallowed all the prey.

Four giant vajra apes roared and pulled at each other in the narrow alley.

The group hid in a narrow cave and sat down with their backs to the cold rock walls. Since all their luggage was abandoned in the camp by the stream, in the cave with the cold wind gusting, they had no means to protect themselves from the cold, so they could only grit their teeth and carry it down.

Outside the cave, the footsteps and roars of the Vajra ape became more and more noisy, and these monsters were not willing to give up their prey and refused to leave where the humans had disappeared.

The humans in the cave were silent, and even the movement of their bodies was extremely slight, for fear of making a little noise. Fortunately, although the magical beast of the King Kong giant ape has excellent eyesight, its sense of smell is not as sensitive as that of other beasts, and it is not found that humans have been hiding under their noses all the time. Otherwise, with the power of the King Kong Giant Ape, it would be as easy as fiddling with a toy to remove those gags.

In this way, everyone in the team, including the three seriously wounded who were unconscious, survived in fear in the cold cavern.
