From a foot away, Makihara could see clearly that this thing was indeed an ape, and it was very similar to the legendary white ape.

In taxonomy, man is a type of ape, but apes appeared more than 20 million years before man. It may be because of this that there are many myths and stories about the white ape in ancient documents, such as the "Yue Nu Swordsmanship" in "Wu Yue Chunqiu" is taught from the white ape. I don't know if it was influenced by this record, Luo Guanzhong also described this white ape in "The Legend of the Ping Demon", saying that it was a monkey immortal who had been cultivating for many years, and was in charge of the "Nine Heavens Secret Book" for the Jade Emperor.

In addition, Li Rihua's "Pengqi Night Talk" and Yuan Hong's "Romance of the Gods" also have the role of a white ape, and it is even rumored in the wild history that Han Xin's biological father is a white ape.

The white ape in front of him was much larger than an ordinary monkey, close to an adult's height, with no sacs under his cheeks, no tail behind his buttocks, reddish-brown all over his body, and the hair on his whole body was tightly attached to his body, like a layer of armor, and it was also upside down, like clusters of barbs. I don't know if it's because of the dry skin folds, this monster actually has no eyes, face and lips, red eyeballs protrude out of the orbit, black teeth are visible, and even the hands, feet and abdomen with less fur are exposed with green tendons.

The world calls this thing "blood stiffness", not only because of its color, but also because of the sweat-like stuff secreted from its body. When the mucus seeps out of the body, it flows down the surface of the body, sticky like a paste, and the extremely fishy smell comes from here.

Seeing that the big monster was staring at Zhao Hongchen intently, Niwa leaned his claws forward, gently smeared a little mucus on the bloody hair, and then couldn't wait to put his claws into his mouth. In an instant, Niwa felt as if he had tasted some kind of earthly delicacy, and his expression changed extremely richly.

Long Ling'er's throat squirmed, and at this moment, she suddenly had an urge to vomit.

After licking it clean, Niwa stretched out his little paw again, and Makihara was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped it. This "Heaven and Earth Mantle" is a trick to cover up the vitality and breath of the three of them, and it is neither a stealth in the real sense, nor a protective barrier. Now that it's close at hand, it's already thankful to be able to hide the traces of the three of them, if you show any horses, let alone confrontation, I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to escape.

Zhao Hongchen also found the blood stiff, he brandished the seven-star sword and took a stance, and six zombies jumped out of the thin coffin, which were the white sweat stiff, the gray white stiff, the brown flying stiff, the green shadow stiff, the orange fighting stiff and the purple purple stiff. Only then did Mu Yuan understand why Zhao Hongchen was in a hurry to steal the corpses of the guards and Qiu Lu for refining, it turned out that he only had the blue You Zombie and the red Mao Zombie, plus these two, he had a complete set of Eight Zombies.

After gathering all the white stiffs, in addition to the great increase in strength, there must be some other symbolic significance, otherwise Zhao Hongchen is unlikely to easily get involved in this turmoil.

Just as he was thinking about it, Bloody Zombie jumped off the rock, leaving behind a few bloody paw prints. Niwa didn't care about anything, it got out of Makihara's arms, jumped directly onto the rock, and greedily licked the blood stains while they were still dry. Seeing that Niwa was eating so happily, Makihara also stretched out his finger to wipe it, but the blood stains only stained his fingers, and he regretted it.

A burning sensation came from his fingertips, as if he had touched concentrated sulfuric acid, Makihara hurriedly withdrew his fingers, but was horrified to find that those blood droplets suddenly burrowed into the skin, and then spread to the entire hand like lightning, almost in an instant, that finger seemed to be melted off the skin, became bloody, and sweat unconsciously emerged from Muyuan's forehead.

Suddenly, the fire burst out of the butterfly jade, and the speed was so fast that it could not form a ball at all, but turned into a silk thread that stuck to Mu Yuan's skin and swam to the palm of his hand, swallowing it up as soon as it came into contact with those stinking blood stains. After solving these problems, the fire took advantage of the situation to jump onto the rocks again, and swept away the few blood marks.

Niwa was licking the ground with relish, who knew that when he went down with his tongue, he actually licked a mouthful of grit, and he shook his little head to clean the sand from his tongue, and looked at Makihara angrily. Makihara didn't have the heart to take care of Niwa, he sent his index finger to his eyes and carefully examined it, the whole finger seemed to have been burned by fire, and the skin became as hard as, not only the hair was gone, but even the texture became much lighter.

"It's corpse poison!" Long Ling'er said, "You will only be poisoned after being scratched by ordinary zombies, but blood stiffness is an exception, and you almost can't even touch it!" After the torment of corpse poison, the blood stiffness will slowly change from wet stiff to invulnerable dry stiffness, that is, the drought, also known as the drought! Legend has it that this thing is like a sponge, and when it is held by a living person, it can suck it into a mummy! ”

"Poetry, Daya, Yunhan" records that "the drought is abused, such as the burning of sorrow", and the image of the drought from the pre-Qin to the Han Dynasty is represented by the image of the heavenly girl, and its image is characterized by a woman dressed in green clothes. During this period, the drought fish had the dual identity of gods and monsters, and people regarded it as a drought god, but they expelled it by means of sun exposure, flooding, tiger food, etc., in order to achieve the purpose of driving away drought and asking for rain. and "Drought Fish" in "Zi Bu Silent" describes Drought Fish as a monster with "a beard-shaped hair and one foot".

It seems that there is a big difference between the droughts in the zombies and the youkai that caused the drought in the historical records.

After devouring the blood stains, the fire returned to Mu Yuan's hands, although its body and color did not change, but Mu Yuan found that the fire was a little restless, and he couldn't tell whether this was caused by dissatisfaction with desire or excitement.

"Brother Muyuan, are we going over to help!" Long Ling'er couldn't hold it back.

"Who are you helping?" Makihara asked.

"Of course it is......" Long Ling'er stopped in the middle of her words, of course they rushed over to help the blood zombie deal with Zhao Hongchen, but who knows if this blood zombie will appreciate it, if it is burned in case of fire, it will be a big trouble.

"The last time the two masters of Nanxuan and Beiyi were fighting, we didn't catch up!" Mu Yuan said, "The ones you deal with in the woods are not even scum, so it's better to take this opportunity to take a good look at their strength, and you can be prepared when you meet the Zhao family in the future!" ”

"That's right!" Long Ling'er nodded, and put the whip away again, "The main master hasn't appeared yet, why are we in a hurry to watch the show!" ”

Khan, Bai, Fei, Yin, Dou, and Zi stood in the six directions of Chop, Qian, Xun, Dui, Kun, and Gen, and guarded Zhao Hongchen in the middle in a ring. As soon as Blood Zombie scurried into the woods, the six zombies took half a step back in unison, and although there was no expression on their dull faces, their fear was unmistakable. Zhao Hongchen cursed in a low voice, he took out a stack of charms, spat out a mouthful of blood on the tip of his tongue and sprayed it, and then quickly pasted it on the back of the zombie. As soon as the talisman was pasted, the ghost fire core at the center of the zombie's eyebrows suddenly lit up, and its momentum immediately soared, and it stepped forward and directly confronted the blood zombie a few meters away.

After waiting for a while, Zhao Hongchen was a little anxious, his true yang saliva mana was time-limited.

"Go!" With a wave of the copper coin sword in Zhao Hongchen's hand, he squeezed out a word from between his teeth.

Dressed in gray, Bai Zombie jumped first, and it leaped vertically, its flat arms like a sharp sword straight into the bloody stiff throat. The white ape's head didn't move, and with a flick of his forearm, he only heard the sound of "dang" on the ground, and the white zombie was swept away. This point is indeed Zhao Hongchen did not calculate well, the forearm of this white ape is longer than the knee, and it is almost as long as Bai Zhuang's leg is stretched out.
