At this time, it was difficult to pull the corners of our mouths with a wry smile, but in a thought, we chose a dead end. If you choose to turn back and run just now, then you still have a chance to escape from this cave, and it will be an excellent position to get to that rock mouth.

It's useless to think about that now, so I can only lower my eyes to look at the bullets in the chamber of my gun, and after looking at it, I feel more and more cold, it's over, and the bullets are almost running out. As if sensing our predicament, the cries became louder, and the three mandrills standing at the top waved their arms and threw the corpses of their companions in the air.

This is a group of ghosts who have no racial concept, and their indifference to their peers makes them cruel. One moment they may gather together to form a group to fight against a foreign enemy, and the next moment whoever dies will be used as a shield or weapon. So, no matter how intelligent they are, they are just a bunch of animals.

My mind was swirling around how to use their temperament to break through each of them, and my eyes were fixed on the three large mandrills at the bottom, although they were the size of children, judging by their coat color, face, nose and beard, they should be adult or even old mandrills. No matter what the battle, there is an unwritten tactic: capture the thief and capture the king first. So I secretly glanced at the two of them, pretending to raise my gun to shoot the mandrill above, and when it was lifted into the air, it suddenly fell vertically, leaving only one of the six sons to put an empty bullet into the air, and Zhou Tong and I shot two live ammunition at the bottom of the old mandrill on the left.

Right in the head! Suddenly, his head blossomed, blood spurted out, and in the next moment, the old mandrill fell backwards, and the echelon above also rolled backwards, and the monkeys screamed. A trick has deceived their eyes, but only once, the second time the other party has not been deceived, after the loss of the old mandrill, the rest of the mandrill quickly set up an echelon, it is obvious that their emotions have become boiling and impetuous, their faces are vicious, and their eyes are also vicious and abnormal.

We were forced to retreat to the final bottom line, leaning against the stone wall, Liuzi said: "I always thought that it was a stolen life to live, but I never thought it would be this way of death, Lao Zhou, don't forget to leave a bullet, wait in case you are caught by this mandrill, remember to kill me before being divided by them." Zhou Tonglang laughed: "Okay, I must keep it for you, our brother has lived for decades more, and he has lived enough." But, little sister, you're still young, wait for me and Liuzi to cover for you, and don't rush your head back to the bottom, you know? ”

I frowned, and turned to Xue Zhoutong grinning, "I can't run, my feet are no longer conscious, it seems that I have to accompany you today." "Actually, I'm lying, although the soles of my feet hurt so much that I can't do it, if there is a way to survive, I can still keep running. But I don't want to trade their sacrifices for their sacrifices again and again, if life really ends here, then at least, let us fight one last battle side by side until we take our last breath. The only regret is that I can't look at Sheng Shiyao again.

By this time, I had roughly understood what was going on with the countless hands that Jian Ning saw pulling the two of them into the jade coffin, and those countless hands were the same as the group of mandrills, and they were also stacked like now, delivering the giant insect eggs to the bottom of the stone pool. And when Sheng Shiyao and Zhuang Yu talked about the side of the jade coffin being removed, they sensed the crisis and immediately dragged the person into the cave. It is precisely because it is this group of mandrills, with infinite strength, and can even tear apart tigers and leopards with their bare hands, so the two of them were defenseless and were dragged in, as for what happened later, I can't guess.

I only firmly believe in one thing: with Sheng Shiyao's skills, it is impossible to be destroyed by this group of mandrills. What's more, there is also a Zhuang Yu, the two of them join forces, even if they are bare hands, they should be able to deal with them. Besides, along the way, no traces were found, and the biggest possibility was that after they were dragged into the jade coffin, they used magic to get rid of the mandrill group. But I don't know if there is a fork in the road, we didn't notice it, otherwise we would have met them at the end of this place.

The situation could not be further analyzed, and the mandrills finally launched the first attack on us, swooping down at a flying speed, and we all rushed forward with low bodies. With the same idea, if you have to fight hand-to-hand, you must first break through their formation, and the fastest and most effective way is to destroy the old mandrill supported at the bottom. It's called going straight to the hinterland!

At this time, no one can help anyone, I can only rely on myself, I gritted my teeth, I don't want to let the two of them come to save when I am in danger, and I also lose that this group of mandrills in order to cover themselves, holding the corpse of their companions with both arms, can not be grabbed with their free hands, so the left and right arms block the head, and drill to the bottom. I was about to use the barrel of the gun to pick open the old mandrill's corpse shield, when I suddenly felt a push next to me, pushing me diagonally downward, I couldn't control the balance of my body, and fell directly to the ground, because it was an inclined plane, and rolled down a few meters before stopping.

Zhou Tong's roar came from his ears: "Little sister, if you can live, don't die, don't look back." ”

I looked up in amazement to see the two of them blocking back to back, drawing all of the mandrills' attacks with their firepower. Already a few of them had thrown away their hands to cover the bodies of their companions, and with their teeth bared their teeth and flew at them viciously, and I raised my gun and shot at one, but it was the body of the mandrill that had been shot in, and they had long and thick skin, and they only squeaked and pounced again.

I wanted to shoot again, but I saw Zhou Tong suddenly turn to face me and put a gun on his head, "Little sister, if you don't leave, my brother will die in front of you now." Remember, if you can't escape, and I and the six sons will fight hard for you, we will die even if we go underground! ”

Tears welled up, I closed my eyes, and when I opened them again, I stood up against the wall. I don't want them to sacrifice for me, but I can't avoid it again and again, and when life and death are in danger, they risk their lives to protect me. If I refuse to leave at this moment, I absolutely believe that Zhou Tong's next shot will hit me, and I twist my head with difficulty, and I have to lift my feet no matter how heavy my steps are.

Just as I was about to run wildly, I suddenly heard a long howl echoing through the space, and I couldn't tell where it came from, like the end of the top, and like it was in the darkness below. This long howl is completely different from the howling of the mandrills, and the most important thing is that the group of mandrills that were originally attacking fiercely all stopped their attacks on Zhou Tong and Liuzi as if they were shocked, and they all looked around in panic.

After a few seconds, there was another long howl, and this time I could vaguely distinguish it, and the sound seemed to come from ...... After the end of the top? By the time the third long howl was heard, the mandrills scattered in all directions, and all the echelons disintegrated, and the corpses of their companions that had been clung to them in their hands were thrown away, and they rushed downward, flying past me, but none of them tried to attack me. But in the blink of an eye, all the mandrills disappeared into the darkness, and if it weren't for the fact that there were still so many mountain corpses lying on the ground, I would have thought that what had just happened was an illusion.

Liuzi asked in shock, "What are they...... All gone? Zhou Tong's flashlight shot downward and shot again, and finally said with a long sigh of relief: "It's all gone, it seems that God doesn't want to accept us yet." Liuzi scratched the back of his head, "But, how could it suddenly take a sharp turn, I thought that we would have to explain here today." ”

"Behind your ears, didn't you hear those three long howls?" Zhou Tonghuan looked around and muttered, "It's strange, I don't know where that howling sound came from, it made those mandrills so scared." Only then did the sixth son suddenly realize, "You mean that those three howls saved us?" Could it be Brother Yao? ”

"No, if it was Brother Yao, it would have appeared a long time ago. I'm worried that this movement has alarmed another fierce mountain monster, you must know that the mandrill is the largest monkey family, there are often no tigers in the mountains and monkeys are called kings to describe the fierceness of the monkeys, and the mandrills are the most ferocious of the monkeys, some people even say that they are the spirits and demons in the mountains, which shows its power. Therefore, what can make them afraid of the desert and flee must be even more powerful, we still need to find other forks in the road, otherwise we can only retreat as soon as possible. ”

After some analysis, Zhou Tong turned his eyes to me and asked strangely, "Huh?" Little sister, why don't you give your opinion? ”

He and Liuzi stood three meters away from me, I looked up slightly, and said in a quiet voice: "Brother, Brother Liuzi, can you ...... Don't do that again? I want to fight alongside you, even if I die, and I don't want to be the one who runs away behind you forever. That would make me feel useless. ”

The two of them were silent, looking at me fixedly, after a long time, Zhou Tong sighed, walked down to me, raised his hand and rubbed my hair, and then said: "Little sister, when Brother Yao identifies you, it is our duty to protect you." We can't agree to your request, and if there is a next time, we will make the same choice. ”

"But......" I wanted to open my mouth to distinguish, but was interrupted by the six sons behind Zhou Tong: "No, for Brother Yao, you must live, this is not only about your life, but also about Brother Yao." ”

Epiphany, they also knew about Sheng Shiyao's demonization, even if they didn't know all of them, they knew it in their hearts. So every time I tried my best to protect me, it was actually to protect Sheng Shiyao, so I thought about it a little better. can hear Zhou Tong scolding Liuzi: "Don't talk nonsense, how many times have my little sister and us suffered in life and death, but there is no reason for Brother Yao, will you not fight to the death and save it?" ”

Liuzi was stunned, and said with a slightly stiff expression: "I don't know how to speak, I just want to express that meaning." ”

I lowered my eyes and didn't speak again, my heart aching, but I couldn't convince them. There was no time for us to dwell on this, according to Zhou Tong's inference, it was likely that an animal more vicious than the mandrill was approaching, so the three of them divided the lot and searched separately, and I was placed at the end of the top, and the two of them searched at a distance of twenty meters below.

There is no need to think much about this arrangement, just know that they are returning to prevent mandrills, but if the real mandrill group comes back, I am afraid that this time it will be difficult to escape the catastrophe. All I can do is to clear my thoughts and search the past from left to right. If I heard me right, the whistling was coming from behind this wall, which meant that it was empty.
