Chapter 238: Behemoth

The giant mandrill slowly walked towards us, and the rest of the mandrills that surrounded us scattered to make way for us.

The giant mandrill walked to a position about three or four meters away from us and stopped, stared at a pair of round and red eyes, glanced at a few of us, suddenly stood upright, raised his head, opened his huge mouth, and let out an incomparably majestic roar.

The roar of the mandrill was deafening, and I felt as if my head was about to explode, needless to say, the roar we had heard before came from the monster in front of me.

Hearing the roar of the giant mandrill, the group of mandrills immediately became ready to move, slowly approaching us, everyone was extremely nervous, and they all clenched their weapons in their hands, ready to fight to the death.

But at this moment, the giant mandrill let out another low roar, and the group of mandrills retreated one after another, as if they had received some order.

The giant mandrill lowered its head and leaned its huge head over, and the air that came out of its nostrils sprayed into our faces, and I immediately smelled a foul smell, and suddenly my stomach churned, and I almost didn't vomit.

One of the giant mandrill's eyes was almost the size of a lead ball, blood-red, and it looked chilling, and it was now staring at us with these formidable eyes, its mouth slightly open, and two sharp fangs were showing at the corners of its mouth, and everyone did not dare to move, not even make the slightest sound, for fear of accidentally alarming the giant beast in front of them. If it attacks us, it will slap us like flies and mosquitoes, and it will slap us to pieces.

Chen Biao and Weizi looked at the eyes of the giant mandrill, but they didn't dare to shoot rashly, because as long as the gun sounded, it would be tantamount to "declaring war" on the giant monster, and no one dared to take this risk.

And the giant mandrill doesn't seem to be in a hurry to kill us, and its mouth makes a strange "cooing" sound, as if it is talking to us. But because we didn't understand, we didn't dare to speak, we just looked at it nervously.

Just when we didn't know what to do, a huge Lang flower suddenly appeared on the surface of the lake not far away, and the giant mandrill immediately turned its head and let out a deafening roar at the lake.

The other mandrills were a little panicked, especially some near the lake, and they all retreated to the shore, as if they were running away from something.

The attention of the entire group of mandrills was instantly attracted by the giant lang rolling up on the surface of the lake.

Seeing this, Wen Qingshan immediately said to everyone in a very low voice: "Our opportunity has come!" ”

"What chance?" I asked, puzzled.

"A chance to escape!" Wen Qingshan said.

I thought Wen Qingshan was saying that we took the opportunity to rush out, and turned my head to look at the arched corridor, there were still many mandrills guarding the entrance of the corridor, and it was almost impossible to rush over.

"How do you get out of here?"

Wen Qingshan said: "You pay attention to the expressions of these mandrills, they all look extremely frightened, as if they have encountered natural enemies, I estimate that there must be something under the water that makes them feel afraid, which is probably why these mandrills build their nests on the top of the cave, in order to avoid the things in the water!" So, as long as the things in the water come out, I guess the mandrill won't take care of us! ”

"But what if this monster doesn't come out?" I asked rhetorically.

Wen Qingshan smiled slightly: "Then let's force it out!" When he said this, he turned to Chen Biao and said, "Captain Chen, please throw a grenade into the lake." ”

Chen Biao understood, immediately took off a grenade from his body, pulled the pull ring, raised his hand, and threw it into the lake more than ten meters away.

After a while, with a loud "boom", a huge burst of Lang flowers was lifted on the surface of the lake, and some stalagmites that had long been loosened on the roof of the cave were even shaken off and fell into the lake.

The mandrills, apparently frightened by the loud sound of the grenade's explosion, immediately scattered in all directions, and quickly fled along the walls of the cave towards the caves at the top of the cave.

Only the huge mandrill did not leave immediately, it let out another roar at the lake, and turned its head to stare at a few of us, and then unhurriedly climbed the giant stalagmite with a diameter of three or four meters to the top of the cave, and burrowed into the largest cave on the top of the cave.

But in the blink of an eye, all the mandrills that had surrounded us just now fled back to their lair, and none of them were gone.

Everyone couldn't recover from the sudden change for a while, and after a while, Long Yi said in a daze: "Are we in a desperate situation?" ”

Ouyang Yi gave Wen Qingshan a thumbs up and praised: "It's still Mr. Wen's method that is reliable." ”

Wen Qingshan hurriedly said: "I didn't expect a grenade to scare away this group of mandrills, I just wanted to force the monsters out of the water, and then take advantage of the chaos to leave." ”

Ouyang Yi analyzed: "It must be that the mandrill heard the explosion of the grenade, and when he saw the huge Lang flower stirred up on the surface of the lake, he thought that the monster in the water had come out, so he was scared away." ”

"But what is there in the water, why does even that giant mandrill seem to be afraid?" I wondered if it was normal for the small mandrills to be scared away, but the problem was that the huge mandrill had fled back to the cave, and I couldn't imagine anything else that could pose a threat to the beast.

The others were also puzzled, and everyone was wondering, Weizi suddenly pointed his hand to the surface of the lake and shouted, "Look what's going on there!" ”

Looking in the direction he was pointing, he saw that on the surface of the lake, the water in a circular body of water with a diameter of about seven or eight meters was shaking violently, and from a distance, it seemed as if it had been boiled.

Everyone was stunned. Because they didn't know what the situation was, everyone stood in front of the arched corridor, ready to evacuate at any time.

However, after waiting for about half a minute, the water surface was calm again.

"What's going on?" Weizi asked in a low voice.

Long Yi analyzed: "The water area that fluttered just now is round, and in my opinion, it should not be a natural imagination. He still thinks it's the activation of the agency, but he can't say what the mechanism is and what will happen next.

However, Wen Qingshan had a different opinion, he frowned and said: "When the crocodile is underwater, a similar situation can be seen on the surface of the water by chance, and we also found footprints similar to those of the crocodile just now, so I still think that it is very likely that there is a giant crocodile lurking underwater." ”

Speaking of that huge footprint, I suddenly thought of the huge mandrill, and immediately said, "Boss Wen, maybe that footprint was left by that mandrill?" I think the mandrill's legs are quite thick. ”

Wen Qingshan said: "If you look at the size alone, it is indeed similar, but the shape is very different, it should not be the footprints left by the mandrill." ”

As we were talking, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a stone glittering on the shore of the lake, about a dozen meters away from us, not by its own light, but by reflecting the light from the searchlight on our helmets.

Out of curiosity, I walked slowly towards the stone.

Seeing that I suddenly walked towards the lakeside without a sound, Wen Qingshan hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold me, and asked, "Shi Yu, what are you doing?" ”

I pointed my hand at the stone and said, "I think there's something special about that stone reflecting light, so I wanted to go and have a look." ”

Wen Qingshan stared at the stone for a while, frowned and said, "Maybe it's just a relatively bright quartz stone, the lake is too dangerous, there is no need to risk your life to check it!" Speaking of this, he turned his head to Ouyang Yi and said: "Dr. Ouyang, this ghost place is too big, not to mention whether the evil stone is hidden here, even if it is really hidden here, if we want to find it, it is probably tantamount to finding a needle, not to mention that our preparation today is also insufficient, in my opinion, let's come back that day." ”

After listening to Wen Qingshan's words, Ouyang Yi did not respond immediately, but also focused on the reflective stone. He stared at the stone and said thoughtfully, "According to the records, the appearance of that evil stone is very smooth, translucent, and can also reflect light, you say, could that stone be the evil stone we are looking for?" ”

"What!?" Wen Qingshan obviously didn't expect Ouyang Yi to think so, he looked at the stone and said in surprise: "Dr. Ouyang, what are you kidding, that evil stone is so important, how could it be thrown so casually on the edge of this underground yin lake!" ”

Ouyang Yi smiled and said, "I'm just saying that there is such a possibility, since we have already arrived here, it is better to go over and see what is going on." ”

I originally thought that my curiosity was heavy, but I didn't expect that Ouyang Yi's curiosity was heavier than mine.

Wen Qingshan looked up at the mandrill lair located at the top of the cave, there was no movement at this time, but he still said worriedly: "This place is really not suitable for a long time, not to mention whether there is anything in the lake, if we go to the edge of the lake, those mandrills will kill us again and seal our retreat, I'm afraid we won't have a chance to leave from here again." ”

Ouyang Yi frowned and groaned for a moment, then raised his head and said, "That's it, I'll go over with Long Yi and take a look, you guys are waiting for us here, if you encounter any emergencies, you don't have to worry about the two of us, leave quickly!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Biao immediately said: "How can it be done!" We're here to protect you, Doctor, so how can we leave without you! I'll go with you if you want to go. ”
