Speaking of the mountain ghost, Uncle Ma's expression began to become grim. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In several nearby villages, it is not new that they have been plagued by mountain ghosts in recent centuries. Before the liberation, because of the change of dynasty and years of war, starvation was everywhere, and Wanjiang Town at that time was still under the control of bandits, and the mountain ghosts were extremely rampant and rampant, reaching a new high in history.

According to Uncle Ma, the mountain ghost is actually a kind of anthropoid, but it is more advanced than apes, closer to humans, and has extraordinary intelligence, so it is very difficult for humans to hunt and kill them, or even exterminate them. Mountain ghosts possess a high intelligence comparable to that of humans, and possess the cold and cruelty of wild beasts, and their violent and bloodthirsty natures are also very cunning, often sneaking into farmers' homes in the middle of the night, abducting young children, women, and domestic animals. Not only that, mountain ghosts are creatures that have a considerable sense of collectivity, and will use some seemingly simple but very useful tricks. For example, the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain: when attacking a farmer, he deliberately made a noise to lure the man away, and then other people of the same kind quickly sneaked into the house and abducted his wife and children.

Of course, if the mountain ghosts were allowed to kill rampantly, the people of Wanjiang Town would have been extinct long ago. Before the liberation, the people of Wanjiang Town pooled their money and invited a bandit force entrenched in Wolong Mountain at that time to come forward and go to the nearby mountains and forests to strangle the mountain ghosts. The bandits have weapons and ammunition in their hands, and even artillery, no matter how powerful the mountain ghost is, it is still so far behind that he cannot compete with the armed forces of the bandits. In the large-scale mountain search operation, the number of mountain ghosts, which resemble human apes, has decreased sharply for the first time.

"So, during that encirclement, the mountain ghosts retreated to the cave?" I asked Uncle Ma.

Uncle Ma's face was dark, and he shook his head and said:

"How can it be so easy, how clever the mountain ghost is, and the level of intelligence is simply staggering! Let me tell you this, in the process of searching the mountain, there was a lone bandit at that time, who was killed by the mountain ghost, and when the other bandits tracked the past, there was a humanoid monster holding a rifle to beat them randomly, because of the close distance, two people were killed on the spot, and then the bandits killed each other, and when they got closer, it was actually a mountain ghost with a rifle! ”

"This ......"

I heard Uncle Ma say such a strange news, I couldn't help but be dumbfounded, this is unbelievable, a mountain ghost can actually learn to use human weapons in a short period of time, and it is not an ordinary cold weapon, but a hot weapon that requires a certain ability to operate. You know, when humans first learned to use primitive weapons such as bone sticks, they don't know how many years of evolution it took to evolve. What species does this mountain ghost originate from, and its learning ability is so strong? If they are given sufficient conditions for evolution, will they not replace humans to dominate the earth?

Seeing my shocked look, Uncle Ma showed a rather satisfied look, and continued: "Actually, it's not so terrifying, the mountain ghost with a gun is only an isolated phenomenon, and it is just a simple imitation, and it doesn't know the attack principle of the weapon, and it doesn't know how to fill ammunition......"

Uncle Ma told me that after that siege and suppression, he killed hundreds of mountain ghosts at one time, and even captured a few alive, and was kept in a cage by bandits as pets. But the captured mountain ghosts had a strong temperament and did not want to eat, and after a while, they starved to death. Later, Wanjiang Town was finally peaceful for a few years, until after the liberation, the bandits were exterminated by the People's Liberation Army, but in the early fifties, a large-scale famine broke out in the country, and the mountain ghosts dormant in the depths of the mountains waited for an opportunity to move, and the population gradually showed an explosive trend.

After the famine passed, the disaster situation stabilized, and the people of Wanjiang Town reported the situation of the mountain ghosts to the county, and asked the military region headquarters to send troops to exterminate the mountain ghosts. This incident has passed for too long, and the young people now, and even the middle-aged people don't know it, but those elderly people still have a little memory. At that time, the People's Liberation Army sent a whole regiment of troops, and organized and mobilized more than 20,000 local people to carry out a carpet encirclement and suppression of the nearby mountains.

According to the old people, according to the statistics at that time, there were thousands of mountains in the town, and at least hundreds of mountain ghosts were killed, including more than a dozen cubs. The People's Liberation Army also captured several alive and secretly sent them to them, saying that they were for scientists to study them.

After that carpet siege, the number of mountain ghosts was almost extinct. By the 60s, there were sporadic attacks on villagers who had gone up to the mountains to farm, and lone mountain ghosts being hunted by hunters, but these were isolated cases. By the 80s, mountain ghosts had become a local legend, and young people rarely believed in them, only through the mouths of the elderly, they had heard a little, but the mountain ghosts were never seen in the eyes of humans again. Some say that they have finally realized that humans are more threatening than they are, and that if they force a conflict with humans, it will eventually lead to the extinction of their population, and the mountain ghosts with high IQs are apparently aware of this. Others say that the mountain ghost population has sneaked into the underground or caves, and is plotting how to fight back against humans, and has rapidly evolved, and its IQ has gradually surpassed that of humans.

"So, the kind of humanoid monster I encountered before is the so-called mountain ghost?"

Uncle Ma nodded slightly hesitantly and said:

"According to your description, I guess it's almost a mountain ghost. I once heard my grandfather tell me that mountain ghosts are monsters that look like monkeys and humans, bare, with very little body hair and very soft skin. However, they are very ugly, full of wrinkles, and at night, their eyes glow green, and they have night vision. They have the same limbs as humans, but their arms are shorter, and although they are able to walk upright, most of the time they crawl on all fours, and they move much faster than humans......"

"No wonder!" I sighed, "It turns out that this so-called mountain ghost is a kind of ape, but what do they feed on when they go deep into the cold cave hundreds of meters underground?" There are no other creatures to hunt in the area, and there is no distribution of underground rivers, so don't they have to eat? ”

Regarding this, Uncle Ma is also puzzled.

However, Yang Xue analyzed that there may be a hidden underground river nearby, and there are relatively rich fish and other resources, but we don't know.

We were discussing the mountain ghosts, but at this moment, suddenly from a branch cave at the end of the hall came a series of small footsteps, judging by the sound, something was rapidly approaching us. (To be continued.) )
