Chapter 117: Mountain Beasts

"What kind of beast is this? The screams are chilling! Lin grabbed the pony's arm tightly with both hands, and her eyes kept looking around the darkness.

"I don't know, but I've heard that there are many unknown beasts in this mountain, and they are very fierce! I've heard that they eat people! Pony deliberately scared Xiao Lin and said.

"Huh? Also cannibalism! When Cao Xiaokai heard this, he hurriedly ran to Jiang Fei's side and said, "There are man-eating beasts here, I will protect you!" ”

"Who wants you to protect me? Don't take advantage of the opportunity! Jiang Fei glanced at Cao Xiaokai.

"There really are beasts! You didn't hear that terrible cry just now! Cao Xiaokai hurriedly said.

"Humph!" Jiang Fei didn't care very much, and walked over to sit with Xiao Lin.

Cao Xiaokai touched his nose and walked towards Zhang Gang.

Zhang Gang was roasting meat by the fire, and bursts of fragrance reached Cao Xiaokai's nose, "Hey, big brother! What kind of meat are you? So fragrant! ”

"Oh, this? This is a deer endemic to this mountain, and it is very delicious to roast! As he spoke, Zhang Gang handed Cao Xiaokai a piece.

Cao Xiaokai took the meat and took a big bite, "Oops! It's really fragrant and tastes great! It's been a long time since I've eaten such delicious meat! Cao Xiaokai sighed while eating.

"Due to the high altitude of this mountain, and the special climate here, it is less polluted, so the flora and fauna here are quite normal, of course, much better than the medicine you eat in the city." Zhang Gang said.

"But the pollution is getting worse, the humans are better, and the animals here are starting to change!" Zhang Gang continued.

"What's changed?" Cao Xiaokai hurriedly asked.

"The beast, which was originally very ordinary, began to mutate, and its size became huge, and it was extremely ferocious, very violent!" Zhang Gang said seriously.

Cao Xiaokai was very surprised when he heard this, because there was no animal mutation found in other places, could it be that Zhang Gang's body mutation also had other reasons.

At this moment, a loud roar came from not very close, startling everyone, and the wind blowing from the beast's maw, and the smell of food scraps could be felt closely.

Cao Xiaokai, Zhang Gang, and Han Feng immediately stood up, and the two tigers picked up *** and kept looking around, Xiaoma, Jiang Fei and Xiao Lin were close together, trembling and looking at the dark surroundings.

"Be careful! It is estimated that I smelled the smell of strangers, and the comer was not good! Zhang Gang reminded Cao Xiaokai of them.

Suddenly, there was another roar, and in the direction they were facing, the figure of a huge beast gradually appeared from the dark shadow.

Cao Xiaokai's two eyes were fixed on the beast, reflecting the firelight, and he gradually saw the outline and appearance of the beast clearly.

The beast was a grizzly bear, with a gray mane, but it was twice as large as a grizzly bear, and it didn't look so bulky, with a more slender and strong body, with exposed canine teeth, a longer tail behind the buttocks, and what was even more strange was that this bear-like beast actually had a horn like a unicorn.

"I'm a good girl! Where is this beast? It's a monster! Cao Xiaokai sighed, and then took out the armor dagger and prepared to attack.

"Wait! Don't move yet! Zhang Gang stopped Cao Xiaokai before he left.

Zhang Gang walked to the front, "They are my friends, these people are innocent, can you let them go, I guarantee that they will leave here tomorrow." ”

The beast roared again, and the wind that blew from its mouth blew Zhang Gang's hair straight behind him.

Cao Xiaokai cautiously moved behind Zhang Gang and asked in a low voice, "Hey, this big brother, can you talk to it?" ”

"They're smart and they understand human language." Zhang Gang replied.

"Then you can understand what he said?" Cao Xiaokai asked curiously.

"After dealing with them for so long, I can understand the simple meaning." Zhang Gang said.

Cao Xiaokai looked at the beast, and then at Zhang Gang, "Then what did it just say?" ”

"Just now it said, let you get out of here quickly, otherwise the consequences will be very serious, it can keep you safe today, but it can't be guaranteed tomorrow." Zhang Gang said.

"What does it mean to just scream?" Cao Xiaokai asked with a question mark on his face.

Zhang Gang ignored him and said to the beast, "I promise, they have no ill intentions, please leave now, otherwise I won't be polite." ”

After hearing Zhang Gang's words, the beast bared its teeth and roared at Zhang Gang again, but this time it was much quieter than before, and then it turned its head and walked into the darkness, and then there was a commotion around them, as if it was the sound of many beasts leaving.

This commotion startled Han Feng, he quickly picked up a flashlight and shone it around, seeing many beasts with different appearances quickly disappearing into the night.

After the commotion disappeared, Cao Xiaokai and his party still didn't dare to move, staring nervously around the darkness.

"They're gone, sit down! Come and eat meat! Zhang Gang picked up a piece of meat and handed it to Cao Xiaokai.

Cao Xiaokai didn't seem to have recovered from the situation just now, although his current combat strength was not afraid of these strange beasts, but after all, there were seven of them, and with such a number of beasts, it was difficult for them to protect everyone's safety.

Cao Xiaokai took the meat and sat down cautiously, "You just knew more than one?" Cao Xiaokai asked.

"Hmm!" Zhang Gang returned lightly, and then continued to add firewood to the fire.

"May I ask Brother Zhang, what's going on? Why are the beasts here so weird-looking, and they have a high IQ, and they are organized and disciplined. The pony asked, sitting down.

"It's a long story, this has to start from ten years ago, the story is a bit long, I don't know if you want to listen to me?" Zhang just hadn't met anyone willing to talk to him for a long time.

"You just say we'd love to hear from you about things we don't know." The pony said with a smile.

"It started ten years ago, when I was still young and living a relaxed life in the village, usually just hunting and patrolling the mountains." Zhang Gang said with a look of reminiscence.

Then Zhang Gang's expression became solemn, "Then one day I found that there were fewer traces of animals in the mountains, so I began to look for the traces of missing animals." ”

"Did you find anything?" Cao Xiaokai hurriedly asked.

"I found out that in a cave in the mountains, there were strangers coming and going, and transporting different animals to the cave, and I knew that these were the ones who caught the animals, but I didn't know what they were used for." Zhang Gang said.

"So I spied on them for a few days, and then one day I sneaked in while they were changing guards, and I was amazed by what I saw." Zhang Gang said, stopped here, looked at the roasted meat in his hand, and stopped talking.

"What did you find? Say it! I'm in a hurry! Cao Xiaokai urged.

"I found out that they were experimenting with animals, and there were all kinds of animals in the cages in the caves, and in some of the cages there were animals that I hadn't seen before, and they all seemed to be anesthetized and all of them were sleeping."

"And then?" Pony asked anxiously.

"Then I didn't know who knocked me unconscious, and by the time I opened my eyes I was tied to a lab bench, surrounded by people wearing masks and white coats." Zhang Gang was a little reluctant to say it at this time, it might be his painful memory.
