Chapter 57: Danger

Outside the cave is a barren plain, surrounded by mountains, with rolling ridges stretching out into the distance under a deep blue canopy, barely in sight. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

There was silence between heaven and earth, without a sound, as if walking in the middle of a deserted wasteland in the middle of a stormy night, and only the slight sound of feet stepping on the hard ground could be heard.

The group marched silently and quickly on the plain, and from time to time a large black bird with huge bone wings stretched out rushed overhead, because everyone was wearing a bone talisman that shielded their breath, but it did not attract the attack of the big bird.

However, the appearance of these winged birds made everyone have to abandon the plan to ride Xiao Hei and advance from the air, and can only rely on their feet to cross the dangerous valley.

Liu Minghao and Jiang Jie walked at the front of the team, Jonathan and Eve followed behind the two, O'Connor and Adesbay were behind, because they blocked the breath of living beings, and the journey went smoothly without encountering any accidents or dangers, but everyone still did not dare to relax in the slightest, and kept vigilantly paying attention to the situation around them.

Soon, the group crossed the empty plain and entered the mountains, following a narrow mountain road over the mountains.

The mountain road gradually ascends, becoming more and more rugged and steep, only allowing one person to pass, and the narrow place needs to be sideways to pass, on one side is the towering craggy rock wall, on the other side is the steep cliff that falls straight down, and the rocks below are lined up, like dog's teeth staggered and horizontal, once you fall down, you will inevitably die.

A group of people clinging to the rock wall carefully winding up the mountain, I don't know how long they walked, there was a bend in front of the mountain road, and the craggy mountain rocks were inserted obliquely from the rock wall, occupying most of the space of the mountain road, like a screen, blocking the scene ahead.

Seeing that there were still less than ten meters away from the curve, a slight sound came into his ears again, Liu Minghao stopped, raised his hand slightly, and at the same time quickly swept his eyes over the accumulated rocks, and finally landed on the mountain road behind him, frowning slightly.

"There's movement." Jiang Jie, who was following him, also noticed something unusual, and immediately lowered his voice and made a gesture behind him.

The crowd fell silent immediately, and a faint vibration was heard, and several stones slid down the rock wall, making a small clattering sound that broke the silence.

"Be careful." Liu Minghao shouted a warning, and at the same time as he spoke, several black shadows suddenly appeared, jumped out of the mountain wall, and rushed towards the people on the mountain road like lightning.

It was a few creatures that resembled apes, their bodies as black as ink, and they were almost indistinguishable when they fell on the dark rocks, and their eyes glowed with a faint blue light, like two ghost fires, jumping in mid-air, and they could barely judge their movements.

In the blink of an eye, several black apes screamed and came closer, and one of them waved his slender claws and grabbed at Liu Minghao.

Liu Minghao avoided sideways, his back was close to the rock wall, his right hand stretched out like lightning, and at the moment when the black ape passed by, he grabbed the long tail curled behind it.

The screams of Eve and Jonathan came from the mountain road, and several black apes surrounded them, waving their claws to attack, and the two of them hurriedly dodged, with nowhere to retreat, and they couldn't care about their feet in panic, and they had already pushed to the edge of the mountain road.

Liu Minghao immediately threw the black ape out with his backhand, the black ape let out a terrible scream, shooting out like a cannonball, knocking one of the black apes away, Jiang Jie's eyes quickly swung out, and the other black ape was cut off by the waist, and the rich black gas gushed out, and the rest of the black apes immediately screamed and fled.

Jonathan breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately his legs went limp, and he collapsed on the mountain road.

By this time, Adesbay and O'Connor had teamed up to deal with the remaining black apes.

O'Connor wiped the sweat from his forehead and was about to speak, when suddenly a burst of screams sounded, and a black shadow appeared on the mountain road behind him, approaching quickly like a dark cloud, and in a blink of an eye he was near.

"Let's go." Liu Minghao frowned, jumped in front of Jonathan and Eve, waved his hand and shouted loudly.

Looking at the nearly 100 black apes in front of them, everyone's faces changed greatly, Jonathan hurriedly got up, O'Connor protected Eve, Liu Minghao and the three followed, and the group quickly ran towards the curve in front.

Although the size of the black ape is not large, but hundreds of them appear at the same time, it should not be underestimated, no matter what the combat effectiveness is, once the mountain road in front of them is blocked, they are difficult to fly.

In the midst of chaos, Jonathan was too panicked, and as soon as he turned the corner, he stepped into the air, and even Eve and O'Connor, who were following him, almost fell off the cliff.

Liu Minghao's eyes were quick, he grabbed O'Connor's collar, and pulled the two of them back, the mountain road was already narrow, several people were crowded together, and they couldn't turn at all for a while, and the apes behind him had already come closer.

"Let's go." Liu Minghao shouted at Adesbay, his right hand was slightly raised, the space was slightly distorted, and the jackal-headed man holding a long knife appeared on the narrow mountain road, blocking behind everyone.

Jiang Jie also let out a low roar, Xiao Hei rushed out of his wrist, his body continued to grow in mid-air, and he hoisted Jonathan hanging on the edge of the cliff, his wings shook slightly, and he swept forward against the cliff.

At this moment, the black-pressed ape group suddenly let out several sharp hisses, gave up Liu Minghao and the others in front of them, diverted like a tide, and chased in the direction that Xiao Hei left, leaving the frightened people standing on the mountain road and looking at each other.

"They seem to be targeting Jonathan." Jiang Jie looked at the group of apes in the distance with a dull expression and muttered to himself.

"The appearance of these black apes is also very strange." Adesbay found a black spar on the corpse of the black ape, and said with a little puzzlement, "The bone talisman can hide the breath, and no undead creature should be able to detect our existence." ”

Liu Minghao raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the group of apes in the distance, and immediately recalled that in the cave, Jonathan behaved strangely, and couldn't help but move in his heart, and blurted out, "Those rubies." ”

Jiang Jie also realized something, after passing through the abandoned place, he had a clearer understanding of Jonathan's greedy nature, as long as he felt that it was profitable, this guy would be surprisingly bold, and he would never give up until he got it.

Although Adesbay cautioned the crowd against touching the contents of the cave, they were too busy discussing a plan of action to ignore Jonathan's love for treasure.

At this time, Xiao Hei's rapid chirping sound was heard not far away, and Jiang Jie's face changed slightly, "Xiao Hei, they have been surrounded." ”

"Anyway, let's save people first." Liu Minghao didn't say anything more, and immediately chased forward along the mountain road quickly, and the jackal man followed behind him with a long knife.

……

When everyone arrived, Jonathan hid in a narrow cave on the rock wall, the little black wings waved, suspended in midair, his huge body covering the cave behind him, and his long tail kept flicking, resisting waves of black ape's crazy attacks.

The jackal-headed man waved the long knife in his hand, rushed into the group of apes, and forcibly tore a gap, Liu Minghao and the others followed closely behind, rushing all the way to the rock wall.

"Jonathan, throw away the gems." Jiang Jie waved at Jonathan in the cave and shouted loudly.

Helplessly, the apes roared wildly, Jonathan tried his best to poke his head out, looking at the people below, and couldn't hear Jiang Jie's voice clearly.

"That thing must be thrown away as soon as possible, or it will drag on too long, and it may attract more difficult enemies." Adesbay slashed two black apes away, and saw that black apes were constantly gathering in all directions, and hurriedly said.

Liu Minghao also noticed the gradual increase in the number of black apes, although the jackals were tireless, but they moved slowly, and they could only protect part of the area, and Xiao Hei's power seemed to be suppressed in this mountain, although the attack range was wide, but the lethality was limited, once other undead creatures were attracted, they were absolutely difficult to parry, and it was best to leave as soon as possible.

Looking up, the cave where Jonathan was located was only a dozen meters from the ground, and the surface of the rock wall was uneven, and there were many protruding rocks that could be borrowed, if there was no interference, it would only take a few minutes for him to reach the location of the cave.

Liu Minghao took out a dagger and held it in his mouth, clasped a protruding rock with one hand, bent his legs slightly, jumped up violently, and his body was close to the rock wall, climbing up like a gecko.

At this moment, Xiao Hei, who was suspended in mid-air, suddenly let out a long howl of warning, and then, several black dots accompanied by bursts of sharp and piercing calls, galloped from the sky, and several huge winged birds galloped towards everyone and quickly approached.

As soon as the winged bird appeared, the black ape under the rock wall became more and more crazy, screaming and hissing, desperately impacting the defense line of Xiao Hei and the jackals, Jiang Jie and Adesbay were immediately unable to parry, and several black apes successfully passed through the gap in the defense and pounced on the rock wall.

The black ape approached quickly, Liu Minghao tightened his five fingers, pinched the mountain rocks, raised his hand and waved it out, shot down the two black apes passing by, and accelerated his speed with the same hand, approaching the cave where Jonathan was.

Seeing that several black apes had reached the edge of the cave, Jonathan kept throwing rocks to stop the black apes from approaching.

"Jonathan, throw away the gems." Liu Minghao clasped the protruding rock with both hands, stabilized his figure, and shouted, before he could say the second half of the sentence, a gust of wind suddenly hit above his head.

The huge wings brushed against the rock wall, the wind howled, and several black apes squeaked and fell.

Liu Minghao's breathing stagnation, he could barely control his body, he couldn't step on his feet, and suddenly slipped, the whole person hung on the rock wall, swinging with the wind, and he couldn't grasp it, so he had to try his best to stabilize his body, his five fingers clasped the protruding stone, and his right hand raised the dagger and plunged into the rock wall.

Before he had time to breathe, a piercing hiss sounded behind his head, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a giant claw with a flickering cold light, grabbing him, Liu Minghao lifted his breath violently, stepped on the cliff with his right foot, and his body swung to one side.

The huge claws of steel hooks almost grazed his body, grabbing at the rock wall, making a sound like the clatter of gold and stone, and countless pieces of rubble burst out.
