Chapter 36: The Knife
I didn't expect it to be at this time, and the little demon was still selling off. I smiled wryly and shook my head: "I haven't heard good news since I came to this place, and you said the good news first to make me feel relieved." ”
The little demon grinned and said, "Those spider silks on the back of your neck have been squeezed out, and now these wounds are not so red and swollen, I guess...... You've most likely stepped on shit. ”
I didn't expect this, I shook my head and said, "I didn't step on you, maybe we were bluffed by that fake fat man before, and the toxin is not so serious at all; It's also possible that the poison of the ghost-faced tooth spider and the killer bee has neutralized, and anyway, it's not just my neck that heals, but my right hand has also regained consciousness. ”
For my thoughtful and accurate comparison of the little demon to shit, she didn't even raise the bar with me, but patted me on the shoulder, pretending to be old-fashioned and said, "Congratulations, you have successfully changed from half a waste to a waste person." ”
I didn't bother to pick up the conversation, but changed the subject and said, "You just said bad news, what is it?" ”
The little demon shrugged his shoulders and raised his foot to replace the bag behind me: "We took the wrong package, it's all messy things you brought, without a little food and water, that is to say, if we can't find an exit in the short term, then we can really only turn into two dried corpses and rely on descendants to dig us, but don't worry, I will definitely exhibit it in the museum at that time, and you, you can only barely feed the dogs." ”
The little demon's words made me completely dumbfounded, I subconsciously reached out to touch the package, and sure enough, there was nothing else in it except for the equipment and a few changes of clothes on the ground, I looked up at the entrance of the cave, not to mention that it had to be four or five meters high, and the equipment I brought was all under the ground, and none of them could be used for climbing.
If I don't say I'm unprofessional, I'll drop the chain at the critical moment.
I didn't dare to delay at all, I immediately stood up, carefully put away the bag of donkey meat in sauce, handed the last pistol to the little demon, and said: "Then let's stop the ink here, the only way is in front, even if it is Longtan Tiger's Den, we have to break through." ”
The little demon turned off the pistol and put it behind his waist, and took out a sapper shovel from the bag behind my back and held it in his hand to defend himself, I remember that there was a mountain knife prepared by the fat man in the backpack, and I turned it over, and sure enough, under the clothes, there was a mountain knife wrapped in deerskin.
I gently pulled out the knife, the blade is round and flashing with cold light, the layers of moire on the blade are pressed a bunch, like a blooming pear blossom, particularly delicate and beautiful, I heard the fat man say, this moire is called "pear blossom moire", it is a manual repeated forging and tempering again and again to have this effect, there is a sharp steel mouth of the knife with this moire, the blade is tough, not to mention the short hair, but it is indeed a rare good knife.
Holding the cold hilt of the knife, my brain rarely felt relaxed and stretched, and as I set off, I ghostly passed the little demon and walked in front.
The cave is rare and cool, this should not be a closed environment, the most likely is that there is a crack leading to the outside world; The walls of the cave are smooth, there is some moss when you touch your fingers, there is an underground river! And it's not far away! The feeling of soft and hard under my feet is irregular, indicating that I am not going straight to the center of the mountain, but winding and winding outside......
One message after another surged in my mind like a flood that opened the floodgates, I felt that I had fallen into a mysterious realm, I was Tang Yin, but it didn't seem to be Tang Yin, walking in the dark cave, I had a vague sense of familiarity and relaxation, this is no longer the pheasant grave that I am afraid of, but the home field that I can control.
Suddenly, I felt that my sleeve was pulled, and this mysterious feeling suddenly disappeared, I rubbed my eyes, and looked back, the little demon took a step back, and asked cautiously, "You...... Are you alright? I feel so strange to you along the way, there is a kind of ...... Indescribable feeling. ”
I shook my head, "It's okay, I just got some ...... A different feeling, it seems to belong to someone else, I know roughly where these feelings are coming from, and I can assure us that it is ...... for us."
The arm first entered the brain and began to move, the wrist was unsheathed with a steel knife, the blade slashed diagonally across a curve, and a ghost-faced tooth spider on the mountain wall at the tip of the knife, pulled out the moire steel knife and fell off the dark green blood stains and put the knife into the sheath, I added the last four words: "Beneficial and harmless." ”
I feel that I am full of the demeanor of a man who is outside the world.
Of course, if it weren't for the demon print on my ass, I could have pretended to be a little longer.
"Speak well, don't be a ghost." The little demon shook his fist in front of me, his tone already full of threat.
Of course, I knew that the little demon's combat power was dozens of times that of mine, and I immediately smiled knowingly, and I didn't dare to put on a score anymore.
The little demon looked forward and muttered, "There seems to be a variable ahead, should we go in and have a look?" ”
I followed the little demon's gaze, the road ahead had widened a lot, and there were brown and yellow hairs scattered on the ground, I bent down to pick up a handful of hair, my hand was extremely rough, and I smelled it under my nose, the smell was more than ten times that of those leather monkeys, and I almost vomited.
"I'm afraid we really have to go in and have a look, that hole can't go up, and we don't have supplies, so we can only break a way forward." The little demon and I made up our minds, looked at each other and headed inside.
I have rough skin and thick meat, and if I really let the leather monkey scratch and bite, I can withstand it, so I carry my backpack on my chest, hold a flashlight in my left hand, and walk in front with a horizontal knife in my right hand; The little demon shoveled in his left hand and followed me closely with a pistol in his right hand, and the two of them moved forward step by step.
I walked for four or five minutes, and after the turn, it suddenly became clear.
In front of me is a vast space of thousands of square meters, the height is seven or eight meters, the most peculiar thing is that there is a crack at the top of the space, the natural sunlight spills down through this crack, making this space full of light, if you ignore the white bones and dirty feces on the ground, this is really an excellent tourist attraction.
"It's a miracle of nature." I turned off my flashlight and muttered to myself as I looked at the scene.
"Look ahead!" The little demon grabbed my sleeve and roared in a low voice, I made the little demon startled and frightened, and immediately looked in the direction of the little demon's finger, in front of the mountain wall, there was a huge leather monkey!
This leather monkey has to have more than 400 catties, his body is extremely strong, his head is as hideous as a ghost, his two forearms are thick and powerful, and he is more than four meters long, especially the claws at the top of his forelimbs, which are glowing with black light.
With a click, the goblin had loaded his pistol, and I gritted my teeth and clenched the steel knife and took two tentative steps forward, but the huge leather monkey was still lying there unmoving.
"This brute...... Seems to be stuck? The little demon saw the clue and said suspiciously.
I secretly prayed to the heavens in my heart for protection, and then quietly pressed the flashlight, and I could see the hideous details of the monkey more clearly in the snowy light, and the murderous dark red eyes made me gasp, but after a while, seeing that the monkey was still motionless, I was a little bolder, and moved my numb legs to lean over slowly.
The skin monkey is dead.
There was an "X" shaped huge wound on its back, as if it had been cut with a sharp weapon, with great force and deep wounds, through which you could see the stubble and dark red internal organs, and the point where the two wounds connected was exactly to cut off the spine.
Who has the power to kill such a big leather monkey with a cold weapon? Is it Ji Gang? Or Hong Jinglong, who calls himself Bashan Tiger?
Thinking of the long strip wrapped in black cloth behind Hong Jinglong, my heart trembled, but no, I had secretly touched that thing, it was soft, not like a sharp weapon.
"Don, look here!" The little demon exclaimed, I hurried around, and I saw that this leather monkey actually grew out of the mountain!
Only the upper half of its body was exposed, and the lower half of its body was embedded in the mountain wall, and there were already cobwebs at the junction of the two, and I reached out and touched it, and found that the exposed lower limbs of the monkey had turned into stones, and it was hard to knock.
Petrified skin monkeys? What the hell is wrong with this world? I was confused, and I felt like my whole head was confused.
The little demon let out a sigh and said slowly: "I seem to understand, this is indeed the lair of the leather monkey, the white monkey and the leather monkey are a group, but not a species, just like the worker ants and soldier ants among the ants, the skin monkey is responsible for hunting outside, and the white monkey is responsible for serving this thing, as for us, we are the prey deceived by the leather monkey." Because the big monkey is trapped here and can't move, these leather monkeys trick their prey in this way. ”
The little demon paused, and then said suspiciously: "But I don't understand, who killed this thing?" It seems that someone is ahead of us, but who is it...... Is it so capable? Looking at this scene, this big monkey didn't even resist, and was killed in seconds! ”
I looked around and remembered that the peerless master that the demon had said might be hiding around us right now, and I felt a chill run through my neck, for fear that a knife would suddenly fly out of the darkness and cut off my head.
The little demon tugged at my sleeve, "Don't look at it, since that man can kill this big monkey, he won't be trapped in this cave, he must be gone, let's look for it now, maybe we can escape along that person's route." ”
I reached out and rubbed my face, and the little demon and the little demon searched carefully along the cave.
For half an hour, the little demon and I rummaged through every stone, not even the dung, but found nothing.
The gray-faced little demon looked up at the crack in the top of the cave and muttered, "Did that man come out of this gap?" This must be at least seven meters high, and we won't fly the eaves and walk the wall, I'm afraid this road will ...... It's a dead end again. ”
