Chapter 82: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole (3)
Wild animals are inherently stronger in physical combat than humans. An ordinary monkey with a height of less than a meter and a weight of less than twenty kilograms has the combat power of an ordinary adult who is not inferior. When a monkey is more than two meters tall and weighs more than 100 kilograms, a human with a double mutation level of strength and agility is no match for these monkeys in the case of bare hands. But the monkeys of this fighting power are only the most basic and lowest-level combatants of the mandrill group.
The entire mandrill group has about 1,000 to 1,500 monkeys, except for the three leaders who are more than ten meters tall, and the number of super mutant monkeys from three meters to five or six meters tall among the remaining monkeys is also about a hundred. Zhang Le hadn't tried to compete with these super mutant monkeys, but their combat effectiveness was probably no worse than Victor's. This also explains why the Super Human Alliance is unable to open this trade route, and this is only when a small number of mandrill groups have come to this forest.
What's even more terrifying is that this mandrill group has also subdued a large number of monkeys from other races, although the combat effectiveness is uneven, but the number is amazing, and the combined combat power is extremely amazing, not even worse than the strength of Rock Town, which has weapons.
The more he learned about this mandrill group, the more Zhang Le felt the insignificance of human beings in this apocalyptic world. Of course, the great tribes of monkeys are not without their weaknesses, their populations are not destined to expand indefinitely, because they only know how to hunt and gather, they cannot feed more people, and they cannot leave the protection of the forest to survive in a variety of environments like humans. At least for now.
Zhang Le has been hunting with the Mandrill tribe for the past few days, and his strength has also been recognized by the tribe members, and Zhang Le's footprints have gradually set foot in the mixed area of forests and rivers in the lower reaches of the big river. Of course, Zhang Le's purpose is certainly not to hunt, and finding out the news of the giant python is the top priority. Maybe the communication was not smooth enough, or maybe he really didn't know, Zhang Le didn't get any useful information from the mouth of the mandrill.
There is a giant python in the list of prey of the mandrill, but it is only an ordinary mutant python of more than ten meters, which is different from the population of the super python in the big river.
The three leaders, the mandrills, who had been missing for several days, returned. Zhang Le finally found an opportunity to talk to them about the super python. Maybe they can do themselves a favor.
After acquiring simple language skills, Zhang Le and Shan Xiao's communication was much smoother. When the three leaders finally figured out that Zhang Le's ultimate goal was actually to deal with the super python, Zhang Le saw a complicated look on the faces of the three mandrills for the first time.
After about ten seconds, the boss of the mandrill, the most flowery mandrill, finally agreed to help.
Zhang Le couldn't help but feel excited. Zhang Le couldn't verify how strong the combat power of the three leaders was, but their strength was definitely not inferior to those giant pythons that were more than 100 meters long.
After being in contact for a long time, Zhang Le, the character of the three leaders, also understood a little bit. The boss with the most flowery face, big black, belongs to the one who doesn't like to laugh very much. Erhei, the second largest mandrill, has a lively personality, a monkey head and a monkey brain, and is the mandrill who likes to communicate with Zhang Le the most. Sanhei, the smallest one, is also very lively, but it listens to Dahei's words very much, and it does all the basic errands.
On the second day, Da Hei told Zhang Le that it was going to find the location of the Super Python. Da Hei took away Erhei, and left Sanhei to accompany Zhang Le.
When he was still five hundred meters away from the river, Zhang Le stopped again. Ahead was the road-rail bridge, where a dozen or so human caravans passed every day. After the opening of the trade route, a large shortage of goods made the trade road busier than before.
The giant python still did not appear, and the Super Human Alliance seemed to have acquiesced to the fact that the business road was suddenly opened, and did not make further moves. Zhang Le communicates with the caterpillars across the river every day, and at the same time forbids Ms. Jesse to cross the bridge.
Are you worrying too much? Zhang Le doesn't think so. Sanhei stood farther away from the river and looked at Zhang Le. Today's Sanhei is very strange, his expression is not the same as usual, and his words have become very few. Zhang Le shook his head, feeling that he was a little nervous by this super python.
Zhang Le dared to fight the super python again because he had his own hole cards, that is, the ice skills that Zhang Le was strengthening his practice. The last time he used brain waves to create a real flame, Zhang Le was greatly inspired. Although Zhang Le is now paying more attention to the strength of the body, this powerful special power can become his hole card at a critical moment, and it is necessary and necessary to strengthen the ability training in this area.
The people in the distance or the mandrill only saw Zhang Le walking in the semi-swamp, but no one noticed that he was walking in a straight line.
The next day, the other two leaders, the mandrills, returned, bringing good news that the location of the super python had been found. Zhang Le broke out in a cold sweat, and sure enough, the super python did not leave this area, it lived in a cave every night, fifty kilometers downstream from the bridge.
Now that the enemy's position has been determined, it is time to specify the plan. Although Zhang Le didn't think that the mandrills had a high enough IQ to make a battle plan, Zhang Le needed their help, so he could only bring them together to discuss. Sanhei had no interest in discussing this, and in broad daylight, he actually yawned and went to sleep.
The cave of the super python is on a small island in the middle of the river, in the mixed area of the big river and the forest, the island is about two square kilometers in size, there is a hill mixed with earth and rock, and at the foot of the hill there is a huge cave near the water, where the super python's nest is.
After the action plan was formulated, Zhang Le left the mandrill tribe and went to the human gathering area to purchase some things.
Zhang Le purchased rope, but his ultimate goal was to get a big net. Most of the humans in the area are gone, but there are still a hundred or so freelance hunters resting here. After Zhang Le gave a large sum of money, even those who were going to go out hunting stayed behind to help Zhang Le compile a huge net. It cost 600 New Zealand dollars, and before the sun set, Zhang Le got the big net that came out in a hurry.
Although Zhang Le can also hold the giant net, in fact, he can drag it, but it is not as convenient as a mandrill more than ten meters high. Back at the residence of the three mandrills, Zhang Le made his decision to do it tonight.
The three mandrills certainly don't object, hunting is more important to the beasts than resting, although it's a bit unreasonable to call them beasts.
These mandrills are intelligent populations, and naturally there is an easy path inside the forest. It is said that it is a road, but in fact, it is just a relatively wide passage in the forest and the plants in the passage are cleaned up.
The speed of one person and three monkeys was extremely fast, and after an hour and a half, they came to the land across the water from the island. Even though it was night, Zhang Le's vision range was about a thousand meters. The occasional huge whirlpool in the river shows that there is a lot of danger beneath the waters. The island is only 500 meters away from this land, but due to the heavy obstruction of trees, Zhang Le can only peek into the shadow of the island.
According to the plan that had been made, the three leader mandrills pulled up a huge net in a relatively open place. The giant net is arranged in an area with water, and the water depth is about six or seven meters. The shape of the giant net is a pocket, and the mouth of the bag is a round mouth with a diameter of 50 meters, which is tied to the surrounding trees with ten points, the lowest part is tied to the root of the tree at the bottom of the water, and the highest part is tied to the treetop. The rest is the pocket, a depth of about seventy meters, which is also the result of Zhang Le's cutting corners and saving materials, after all, there are not so many ropes in the gathering area. However, in Zhang Le's opinion, this depth is also enough, after all, what Zhang Le wants to trap most is nothing more than the head of the giant python.
After arranging the huge net, Zhang Le breathed a sigh of relief: "Everything is ready, just wait for you to enter the urn." ”
Zhang Le glanced at the three leaders, the mandrills, made a gesture of preparation, and then jumped onto the tree. Jumping from one tree to another, Zhang Le slowly approached the island.
At this time, in Zhang Le's mind, a golden dragon came to life and came alive. In the black and white night vision, the normal scenery during the day also becomes strange and inexplicable. Passing through the dense canopy of a large tree again, Zhang Le stopped.
Zhang Le saw the super python, what Zhang Le didn't expect was that the head of the super python that looked like a dragon's head was also staring at Zhang Le, and the yellow eyeballs were like huge lanterns in the night. The body of the super python was indeed hidden in a cave, and only a huge head was exposed at the entrance of the cave.
It was still the same feeling, and a strange coercion hit Zhang Le's brain. But this time, Zhang Le only felt a little dizzy, and then recovered quickly. The little dragon in the virtual mapping mind seemed to be more active, it didn't even let the image of the super python appear in Zhang Le's mind, in the virtual world, it adjusted the direction of its body, and its head was facing the super python.
After withstanding the spiritual attack of the super python, Zhang Le was relieved. Zhang Le quickly turned around, as if fleeing in panic, and returned to the original way.
The super python really came out of the cave, and when he heard the loud noise behind him, Zhang Le was not surprised. There were trees everywhere, Zhang Le's speed couldn't be faster, and the super python's movement was also greatly restricted.
However, at a distance of 500 meters, one person and one snake are still there in an instant. The net is woven out of thick black nylon rope, which is difficult to see in the night.
Zhang Le looked left and right, but he didn't see the three mandrills, and it seemed that he was hiding well.
After stepping on the shore, Zhang Le suddenly accelerated and ran towards the bottom of the pocket of the big net, and the super python chased after him. Wow, Zhang Le got out of the huge mesh, and the python's head also stretched out in front of Zhang Le's eyes, but it also stopped there, and was blocked by the giant net.
"Moo......"
"Whoa......"
Four huge roars sounded in Zhang Le's ears at the same time, Zhang Le was stunned, and was hit by something behind him, and then flew up like a cloud.
Zhang Le turned his head with difficulty, and happened to see a huge monkey with its feet raised high, and its owner was none other than the chief of the Mandrill tribe, the monkey with the most fancy and bewitching face.
