187. Encounter with ghosts

With this knowledge of multi-handed animals, all three of us were fully alerted, our guns loaded and in our hands, ready to respond to an enemy attack. But when we walked nearly fifty meters down the cave, we found that there was a corner in front of us, and the three of them stopped and fought side by side, looking at each other, and they all showed wary eyes.

Because from the perspective of flashlight refraction, this corner is completely in the direction of a dead angle, that is, there is a blind spot, if there is a dangerous object hiding behind that corner, it is very likely that we will suddenly attack when we approach. The three of them signaled with their eyes, the six sons moved forward with guns, and Zhou Tong and I stood in the corners of the walls on both sides, and if there was any abnormal movement, we would shoot immediately.

In the quiet space, only the footsteps of Liuzi moving, because of the monotony, so weird and nervous, when Liuzi walked to the corner, only to hear him gasp and shoot out with a bang. Zhou Tong and I rushed forward without thinking about it, and then ...... Stunned, after a few seconds, Zhou Tong asked aloud: "What did you see?" ”

Steps! The steps that continue to go up, in fact, the steps are not vivid, because the steps are strangely shaped, and there are no rules, some of the steps are wide, some are narrow, some are flat at a distance, and some are concave inward. Where does this road lead? This question naturally surfaced in my heart, and I was even more puzzled, so I turned my head to look at Liuzi, "What did you see just now?" ”

Liuzi's expression froze, his eyes widened, and he looked frightened, and Zhou Tong also asked him why he shot? Obviously, it is impossible to be shocked by the emergence of such an upward path. After Liuzi settled down, he raised his hand and pointed ahead, "There were a few child-sized ...... here just now I don't know how to describe it, they resemble people, but it's certain that they must be some kind of animal, because of the long hair on their faces, which almost hang down to the ground, and their eyes glow green. I had a gut feeling and I shot. ”

"Did you hit?" I asked with a sigh, and Liuzi shook his head, "They are extremely fast, almost the moment I launch, they jumped out dozens of meters away, faster than tigers and leopards, and can be described as ghosts." ”

The word ghost made our hearts sink, and Zhou Tong hurriedly said: "What a ghost, don't scare yourself." There are many monsters in the mountains, we don't know how many we haven't seen, in short, we have a fire barrel in our hands, cough cough...... Don't be afraid. He coughed as he spoke, and when he came down here before, I heard him suppress a light cough from time to time, and at this time it should be an itchy throat that I can't help it.

I stepped forward and patted him on the back, and after a heart-rending cough, he spat out a mouthful of blood before he finally stopped. No one asked him how his injuries were, and when he got here, he had to move forward even if he walked on his back. Due to the irregularity of the steps, it was very difficult to climb up, especially when it was smooth, and we had to hold on to the wall next to it to move upwards.

After climbing up for a while, Zhou Tong said that this was not an artificially built step, similar to the previous rock mouth, with countless claw marks on it, which meant that this mountain road in the cave was paved by some kind of animal. Could it be the kind of monster with green eyes and long hair that Liuzi saw before?

The long hair drooped and reminded me of the bird-like monster with a human face, its hair was also extremely long, and the two-square-meter human face at the top of the stone pool. The corpse qi and special substances in the pool condensed into a membrane layer, which can still be explained, but how can it form a human face? Then I thought that the answer was because the soul of the bird monster was fused with the corpse qi in the stone pool, and then the human face mask layer represented the face of the bird monster's spirit, so after I broke the film layer, the bird monster also seemed to disperse the soul qi.

It's not that I want to delve into the past at this moment, but I have a faint intuition that the bird monsters, stone ponds, human face mask layers, and giant insect eggs in the upper layer are related to the lower layer, as if they are protected one by one. And it can be such wisdom, it can never be animals, it must be humans, I don't know who the owner of the bird monster is, and what is the purpose of using the upper and lower caves to set up so many levels.

These are the thoughts that crossed my mind as I climbed, and each step up meant getting closer to the truth. Estimated that the distance we have climbed is about a few hundred meters, and the waterfall was halfway up the mountain, which is about 1,000 meters above sea level, which means that we should have reached three-quarters of the height of the mountain.

When a horizontal row of green light appeared in front of us, we paused, and the distance was thirty or forty meters away, and the range of the flashlight was out of reach. But based on the previous description of the six sons, he was particularly sensitive to green light, and he smelled dangerous in the air.

After a long time, there was no green light moving, Zhou Tong lowered his voice and asked, "Liuzi, is this the case?" Liuzi didn't reply, squinting his eyes and trying to see clearly, but at that moment, suddenly the green light flashed, and it rushed towards us, but in the blink of an eye, it was already under the beam of the flashlight, and we also saw what it was, Zhou Tong muttered: "It's a mandrill!" ”

He has a long, ghostly face, a bright red nose, deep longitudinal stripes on both sides of the nose, a goatee under his chin, and a head hidden in long hair, and the hair on his body is brown, fluffy and dense. Liuzi was wrong before, it was not the long hair on his face that fell to the ground, but the beard on the mandrill's chin that reached the ground. Looking at the approaching group of mandrills with green eyes, it was obvious that he had bad intentions.

They stopped when they were ten meters away, and the first one was larger, about the same height as the next one, staring at us with a ghostly face. Counted, there are a total of **, there are three of us with three guns, not a loss, quietly put my finger on the trigger. Suddenly, the leader of the mandrill let out a long roar, and then the ** mandrill moved, but it was not pounced on us, but like a stack of arhats, one rode on the neck of the other, and when it was stacked to the top, there were three left, and they were stacked again.

In this way, one is tall and one is short, the high one hits the top, and the short ones are about one meter and a half on top of each other. We were wondering what this group of ghostly mandrills was doing, when we suddenly heard a strange movement in front of us, and when we looked up, it was a batch of green light pressing closer to this place, and Zhou Tong shouted: "Not good! Shoot and kill what is in front of you first. As the words fell, I pulled the trigger in the air, for the group of mandrills that had overlapped to the top of the cave spread their long legs in the form of a staircase and swooped down on us.

At such a close distance, I thought that nine out of ten could be safely shot, but the bullet hit the wall of the top cave, and the gravel flew, and it was dodged by the mandrill. In the afterglow, Zhou Tong and Liuzi also shot into the air, and the three overlapping mandrills rushed towards us at the speed of thunder, and Zhou Tong rushed up without thinking. I didn't bother to look at them, the mandrill at the top of the ladder had already jumped in front of me, and it was unbelievable, and the length of about three meters stretched to six or seven meters.

This is the second, the most important thing is that when I was close to the door, the two mandrills on top of me clamped their legs around their necks, while both hands attacked me at the same time, that is, all four hands grabbed me. Rather than a hand, it was a claw, and my nails were flying, so I had to raise my gun to block the attack from the top, and then raise my foot and kick at the second mandrill.

But I ignored the strength of the mandrill, and it was so great that although the foot that was lifted out and kicked the kick touched the real thing, it was like kicking on an iron plate, and the mandrill ladder bridge did not move at all. Just between my feet, a long arm stretched out from the bottom, and it was buckled on my military boots, pulling my foot down, so that I was close to one foot and it was difficult to balance, seeing that a long arm stretched out to my waist, my heart couldn't help sinking, the secret road is not good, I am going to be hit!

But there was a flash in front of him, and Liuzi hit it hard with his body, followed by a bang, a squeak, and a squeaky scream, it was Liuzi who blocked the eye of the gun in the abdomen of the second mandrill and shot it, so close the other party must not be able to escape. I took the opportunity to pull my foot back, stepped back, loaded my gun, aimed at the top one, and with a bang, one of them was shot.

Zhou Tong yelled in front: "Good job! He also blasted one, but found that the mandrills did not flee because of the death of their companions, but opened their bloody mouths and roared loudly, as if to express their anger. At the same time, the group of green-eyed mandrills we had seen earlier had also arrived, and before we could react, they gathered together and began to stack arhats as they had just done.

After seeing the power of this mandrill stack just now, the three of us all changed their faces greatly, so many can at least four long teams be stacked, then just now there is only one long team, it is enough to choke, if they are stacked, with the strength of three people, they will definitely not be able to fight. Make a decision on the spot and rush over! Liuzi shouted: "I'll cover up, you rush!" After saying that, he opened fire, but when he saw that the largest mandrill, he actually pulled up the corpse of his dead companion on the ground and blocked it, and the rest did the same, but whoever was strafed was used to block it, forming a barrier.

We sighed and squeezed past them, and then we strafed from above to cover for the six sons, and when the three of us were together, we pulled our legs and rushed to the top. Life is at stake, even if everyone is injured, they have to hold their breath and run out of this ghost place where mandrills gather. The movement behind us followed, and the three of us took turns turning around and firing to block their close pursuit.

It is said that monkeys are the wisest of animals, and this mandrill, as a kind of monkey group, is more difficult to deal with than any beast of prey. It is said that a single mandrill is faster than a leopard, and even now one on top of the other, it can chase us closely. So far, they have formed three echelons, and each mandrill has a companion's corpse to resist our strafing, and this behavior is almost human wisdom.

When we ran to the top of the stairs, all three of them were in despair and had no way out...... I never thought that there would be a stone wall at the top.

Turning around, the mandrills also rushed to the ground, as before, and stopped at about ten meters, their green eyes like hell fire, and their mouths emitted a sharp and strange roar, as if they were provoking us.
