Chapter 423: Ninja Escape Secret Technique
This sudden change made us a little helpless - since the "Monkey Eagle" said that the cliff edge was dangerous and could not be crossed, then we could only wait here? Or simply leave?
At this moment, the "Monkey Eagle" suddenly flew up, and before we could see clearly, it swooped down and swooped down on the edge of the cliff - it seemed that the wounds on its wings were almost healed under the control of Madman Six.
Could it be that the "monkey eagle" is on the edge of the cliff, and has found something again? While we were still stunned, the "monkey eagle" had disappeared from the edge of the cliff.
At this time, our hearts were lifted all of a sudden, and we wanted to walk over and stand on the edge of the cliff and look down to see what the "Monkey Eagle" was doing, but because of the previous warning of the "Monkey Eagle", no one dared to move forward easily, but the old man Ouyang was more calm, and comforted us and said: "Don't worry, you have to believe in the ability of the 'Monkey Eagle', it has nothing to do, it must have found something, so it rushed down." ”
Immediately afterwards, from the bottom of the edge of the cliff, there was a strange sound - it seemed to be a scream, but it should not be the sound of the "monkey eagle", and there was a crackling fighting sound, although the old man Ouyang was very confident in the "monkey eagle", but we were still scared, for fear that the "monkey eagle" would have an accident.
Just when we were nervous, the "monkey eagle" suddenly flew up, clutching a green thing in its talons, and before we could see it, it had already dropped it on the ground.
And when we saw that thing clearly, we were all so shocked that we took a few steps back, and Hongmei, Sister Li, and the female translator all screamed, because that thing was really terrible!
The thing was not big, slightly smaller than a cat, but the shape of the body was very much like a baby, the skin of the whole body was very loose, like a leper dog, the skin of all parts of the body was almost drooping, and the whole body was dark green, especially the head was even more terrifying - like a monkey, and a bit like a human, and the skin on the face was also piled together because of the slack, almost squeezing out the facial features. There was a strange smell all over the body—a fishy smell mixed with the smell of pine resin.
Because of the fight with the "Monkey Eagle" just now, the body was covered with blood, and the chest could already be scratched by the "Monkey Eagle", and the blood flowed all over the ground, and the red blood was very conspicuous against the background of the dark green skin.
In this mountain, although we have seen a lot of all kinds of monsters, but in broad daylight, the "monkey eagle" suddenly caught this kind of monster, which still makes us feel terrified. Moreover, this thing is not only scary to look at, but also disgusting.
After a minute or so, we calmed down a little, and Crazy Six suddenly said, "This is a pine monkey."
What the? Pine monkeys? We've never heard of it yet. Not only us, but even the old man Ouyang, who has been hunting in the mountains all his life, doesn't know what a pine monkey is.
Perhaps it was too badly wounded, but after a few minutes, the pine monkey wailed a few times, lay limply on the ground, stopped struggling, and died.
Just when we didn't know what to do, the "monkey eagle" spread its wings again, grabbed the corpse of the pine monkey with two sharp claws, and then flew to the top of the canyon, and as soon as the claws were released, the pine monkey instantly fell into the bottomless canyon.
We breathed a sigh of relief, but we all realized more and more that there was a lot of danger on the edge of this canyon. However, with the presence of the "Monkey Eagle", we are much more down-to-earth in our hearts, and through so many experiences, we have seen more and more how strong the combat effectiveness of the "Monkey Eagle" is.
"The one who spied on us just now, is it this pine monkey? No wonder the "monkey eagle" said that it was not a human being, nor was it an amphibious, it turned out to be such a strange thing. ”
For my conclusion, the madman six shook his head and said thoughtlessly: "The one who spied on us just now, if it is really this kind of pine monkey, there is nothing to be afraid of." ”
Not only me, but all the people couldn't help but be stunned after hearing the words of Crazy Man Six - isn't it this kind of pine monkey that was peeping at us on the cliff just now, so what is it?
Madman Six looked at the "Monkey Eagle", stroked its head cordially, and said with emotion: "The 'Monkey Eagle' saved us again, if it weren't for it, I'm afraid someone would have fallen off the cliff now." ”
Seeing that we were full of doubts one by one, the madman Liucai then explained: "The monster caught by the 'monkey eagle' just now, called the pine monkey, is a beast that specializes in feeding on the 'cliff climbing pine', from this point of view, the 'cliff climbing pine' on the cliff wall of this canyon should be very much, for this kind of pine monkey, the 'cliff climbing pine' on the cliff is the jungle they live on, this kind of pine monkey not only looks very strange, it also has an incredible characteristic - can only move freely on the vertical cliff, but if it goes to the flat ground, They have basically lost the ability to interact.
The ancient book once said, in the world of all insects, birds, fish, birds and beasts, there is no stronger climbing ability than this pine monkey, Qin and Han dynasties, someone once caught this pine monkey, put it on the city wall, fell thousands of pounds of weight on it, this pine monkey can still climb freely, they are on the cliff, is a well-deserved strong man, but once to the flat ground, but almost completely lost the ability to move.
At that time, a general, in order to further test the climbing ability of the pine monkey, specially let people build a wall with marble, the surface of these marbles, smooth as a mirror, the general asked people to put the pine monkey on this wall, and then dropped heavy objects on the pine monkey, until it increased to 1,500 catties, but still did not pull the pine monkey off the marble wall.
Legend has it that in the ancient land of Bashu, there was a monarch who was captured by the enemy and imprisoned on a mountain peak, this mountain peak towered into the clouds, and the surrounding cliffs were like knives, straight up and down, not to mention people, it was difficult for even a bird to fly up. On the only choke point, there were heavy guards, but the son of this monarch raised more than a dozen of these pine monkeys, so, in a dark and windy night, he found more than a dozen dead soldiers with strong martial arts, tied the rope to the pine monkey, and successfully climbed the mountain under the traction of the pine monkey.
Because the terrain of that mountain was extremely dangerous, no one could climb up except through the choke point, so the soldiers guarding there were almost all concentrated on the only main road, and there was almost no one to guard the rear, so these ten people rescued the king very smoothly, and then used the pine monkey to successfully descend from that mountain.
Since then, in the past 100 years, the pine monkey has become one of the totems of that small country, and the historians of that country have written a book to record this event, and this book has become the most detailed information for the study of pine monkeys. But at some point, it ended up in Japan, and it became extinct in China, and I also learned about the pine monkey through Inoue's manuscript, and Inoue himself had read the book. Alas, many good things left to us by our ancestors have been left to Japan, and whenever I think of them, I feel very uncomfortable. ”
As Madman Six spoke, she couldn't help but sigh, and the female translator, as a Japanese, felt embarrassed when she heard Madman Six say this, she lowered her head and didn't say a word.
I hurriedly shifted the question: "Oops, I didn't expect such an ugly monster to have such an amazing ability, but, your old man is a little off-topic, we are discussing, what kind of monster was spying on us just now, since you said that it was not a pine monkey that peeped on us, then what should it be?" ”
Crazy Six may have fought against the Japanese himself, so he has a bitter hatred for the Japanese, according to his shrewdness, of course, he knows that what he said will make the female translator uncomfortable, but he doesn't seem to care too much about these at all.
However, when I asked this question, he stopped and was no longer emotional, but according to his erudition and insight, his thoughts were always so jumpy, and a few random words were enough to shock us, and his words sounded like nonsense at first glance, but later they were all proved to be correct.
So, when I asked, he just said very calmly: "It is likely that those Japanese soldiers who were going to spy on us and even attack us just now were those Japanese soldiers who jumped off the cliff." ”
This sentence is still difficult for us to accept - maybe we are too different from him in every way.
This time, the old man Ouyang first questioned: "It's unlikely, if it's really Japanese, the 'monkey eagle' will definitely be able to smell it, we are only a few meters away from the edge of the cliff, didn't the 'monkey eagle' just convey a message very clearly - the one who peeped at us was neither a human nor an amphibious person, it should be the pine monkey just now, and the 'monkey eagle' relies on the sense of smell to judge things, and never misses it, right, 'monkey eagle'"?
"Monkey Eagle" nodded again and again, it seems that it agrees with what the old man said, it seems that this time not only we oppose the speculation of Crazy Man Six, but also "Monkey Eagle", and so far, we have not found that "Monkey Eagle" missed.
Seeing that all the people, including the "Monkey Eagle", did not agree with him, the madman six just smiled slightly, still with a confident face: "I'm afraid that even the 'Monkey Eagle' is wrong this time, but this also just proves that those Japanese are indeed extraordinary, their various conspiracies and tricks have reached the point of perfection, and even the extraordinary ability of the 'Monkey Eagle' was deceived by them this time." Think about it, if these dozen or so Japanese can think of jumping off a cliff to survive in that way, it is self-evident how cunning they are. ”
"Oh, I said what's wrong with your old man, I hated the Japanese so much that I hated the Japanese so much, why now, why are you singing praises to the Japanese again? Since you say that we have all been deceived, then you should tell me how we were deceived, and why only your judgment is right? Sister Li said half-jokingly, half-seriously.
The madman Liuha laughed a few times, and then said to Sister Li: "You girl, you are really a knife mouth, ha, okay, then I will convince people with reason." In fact, whether it is a war or an intelligence war, the most taboo thing is to underestimate the opponent and deceive oneself and others.
As you may not know, one of the ninja's secret techniques of escape is to avoid being tracked by hounds with their sense of smell.
As early as Japan's Warring States Period, Japan began to track the enemy with hunting dogs, they also bred a dog breed, specifically as a tracking dog, this Japanese tracking dog has an extremely sensitive sense of smell, in the mountains and forests, in the fields, in the downtown tracking fugitives, every shot, and they have a super memory of smell, countless ninjas, are found by this tracking dog, and lost their lives, some people in Japan call this tracking dog 'ninja region'.
However, in order to deal with the threat of this tracking dog, the Japanese ninja finally found an herbal formula after hundreds of years, which can make the body completely smell of earth and rocks after eating, and the effect of this medicine can last up to twelve hours.
Since then, as long as there is no ninja who has mastered the recipe of this herb, it has never been found by a tracking dog, and since it can no longer be used to track ninjas, that kind of tracking dog has slowly become extinct.
Don't forget, most of the Japanese soldiers who jumped off the cliff are the descendants of ninjas, and they are likely to have mastered this secret technique of escape, and as long as they eat the mixed herbs, the 'Monkey Eagle' will have a keen sense of smell and will not sniff out them. ”
