Chapter 22: The Mandrill

This turn scared me so much that I screamed in my throat for a long time before I shouted the word 'look'.

After noticing my strange appearance, Jia Ren was the first to turn back, but at that moment, the shadow I saw flashed into the darkness behind the tree, and when Mo Daoist Zhang Qian and the others turned back, there was nothing over there.

"What do you see?" Daoist Mo asked, and I stammered, "A figure, didn't you hear the laughter just now?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Daoist Mo stared at me in that direction, and after a few seconds he spoke: "Don't think about it, maybe you read it wrong." ”

"No way, I did see with my own eyes and hear with my own ears!" I swore that it wasn't me who was dazzled and ringing just now, but not only Jia Ren and a few laymen, but even Daoist Mo didn't believe what I had just seen and heard.

In desperation, I had to give up the idea of explaining, but I was always afraid of my back, although the shadow disappeared, but the feeling of being stared at the back of the head was still there.

"You have to be careful behind, if there is any movement, call it out immediately." I reminded Jia Ren, and he nodded, "Got it, but you don't have to be too nervous, there are so many of us, even if it's a tiger, it has the power to fight." ”

"You're thinking too much, just the six of us here are only enough for the tiger to eat for three days." Zhang Qian's eyes swept back and forth, and he quipped.

I felt weird when I heard him say this, but I didn't know where the weird was. It startled a few of us.

"What's crazy!" I patted my chest, Jia Ren took a sharp breath and patted Zhang Qian's shoulder, "You just said that there are six of us here?" ”

"Isn't it six, after you look at you... When he said that, he froze, and I immediately reacted, and quickly shone the flashlight behind Jia Ren, and my scalp was numb with fright on the spot.

A monkey was lying on Jia Ren's shoulder, and the fangs in his mouth were about to stick to his neck!

"On the shoulder!" As soon as I finished speaking, I didn't care what the hell it was, and I was about to rush over, but Daoist Mo jumped over one step ahead of me and threw Jia Ren to the ground.

Although Jia Ren didn't know what he had on his shoulder, when he saw us looking so flustered, he quickly calmed down and cooperated with Daoist Mo's movements.

That ghost thing like a monkey was also an evil sect, and the moment Jia Ren's back touched the ground, the ground was immediately dug out of a hole in the ground by it, and when Daoist Mo reached out to grab it, he drilled into it.

"What's that?!" Jia Ren got up from the ground and looked at the entrance of the cave, I shook my head, "I don't know, it looks like a monkey, but the fangs, fortunately found quickly, otherwise you would have to open two holes in your neck." ”

As soon as I said this, he quickly covered his neck, and I scolded: "You don't feel anything about such a fucking big thing lying on your shoulder?" ”

"Not at all, it doesn't seem to have any weight." Jia Ren was very serious, I just wanted to speak Daoist Mo stood up from the entrance of the cave, "He's right, it's a trick, what a monkey, a mandrill." ”

"Mandrills?" Zhang Qian was surprised, "Isn't that also a big monkey?" Looks like a baboon. ”

I shook my head, "What you said is in the animal world, and the mandrills that our Mo Dao Chang said are probably monsters in the Classic of Mountains and Seas." ”

I know more about these ghosts and monsters, and I said: "There are Gan giants in the south, with long human faces and long arms, black bodies and hair, and they are heel-backing.

This is the mandrill described in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Scroll of the Sea", which we saw just now is not big, and it should not have become a climate. ”

I didn't expect that one day I would be serious about the monsters in the Book of Mountains and Seas.

"That's what the laughter just now is." Daoist Mo squinted and pointed to the entrance of the cave, "It will still come out, and it will not stop if it doesn't see blood today."

The reason why I pretended not to find out just now was to find a chance to clean it up in one go, but this thing is more cunning and difficult to deal with than I thought, anyway, now start to observe in pairs, don't give the mandrill a chance, there is still a long way to go. ”

"Big brother, I'll definitely hang up if you find this opportunity again." Jia Ren's face was ugly, and I patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Isn't it okay, our Mo Dao Chang will definitely be able to keep you from dying, don't worry." ”

Zhang Qian and Pang Shigui had already been frightened and their limbs weakened, and they were afraid that it would be half the effort to continue to hurry when they saw this emotion, so I proposed to camp in place first to rest and rest, and then do things after dawn.

The three of us had tents on our backpacks, and after a while, we decided that Zhang Qian and Pang Shigui would have one for the two of them, one for Jia Ren and me, and one for Mo Daoshi himself.

"Don't worry about the money for this tent!" Jia Ren shouted at Zhang Qian's side before coming in, and I pulled him into the tent with a smile, "I have to buy ten tents for 30,000 yuan, don't worry too much, be careful that people go back to pay the bill." ”

"He dares!" Jia Ren raised his eyebrows, "I'll go to the Public Security Bureau to report the debt, saying that he abducted people to the mountains and forests and killed them!" ”

I smiled wryly and shook my head, "Don't talk about this, let's take turns keeping vigil tonight, and if something happens, we can notify everyone in time." ”

"Why are we both? Zhang Qian, can't the two of them? ”

"No matter how you say it, people have also paid, and the head injury also needs to rest, Daoist Mo is our main force, and it won't work if he doesn't let him rest well, just the two of us, suffer a loss, I'll go to midnight first, and I'll call you later."

After speaking, I walked out of the tent and went to tell Zhang Qian, them, and Daoist Mo respectively, and told them to rest first, and after the spirit was good, we were on the road.

I lit a campfire outside the tent, my phone didn't have a signal unexpectedly, and I didn't have anything to pass the time with me, so I had to look around and take a good look at what it was.

According to Daoist Mo, this is neither Jiuzhi Mountain nor Ghost Cub Mountain, although this is all his one-sided words, but I still believe it unconditionally.

The surrounding scenery is indeed a little different from when you first entered Jiuzhi Mountain, at least in the shadow of the trees, the trees here are crooked and look chilling.

The most important thing to watch out for was the mandrill, and I took out my dagger and guarded the surroundings, leaning my back against the trunk of the tree so that I didn't have to worry about being carried by the.

Except for Daoist Mo's tent, which was still lit, the other two were dimmed, and he didn't know what he was tinkering with, and he felt like he was drawing talismans or something again.

Although it was raining, the night owls in the forest were still not at peace, and a few cries from time to time gave me goosebumps.
