Chapter 213: Mandrill
Everyone held their breath and waited for a while, but they didn't see the black shadow just now reappear. I was wondering, when suddenly a large hand reached out from behind me to my chest, and before I could react to anything, my neck was already encircled by a thick and powerful arm, and because my attention was all in front of me, I was completely unguarded behind me, and I was so violently clamped by that arm that I almost didn't lose my breath.
Fortunately, I was wearing a thick bulletproof vest with a vertical collar to protect my neck, so although I was tightly restrained, I was not suffocated, but I couldn't shout for a while.
When I came back to my senses, I immediately understood that it must be a demon-possessed Weizi! Because he was lying right behind me, I just didn't expect him to get up and attack me at this time.
I raised my hand and grabbed Weizi's arm hard, trying to pull it away from my neck, but I didn't expect his strength to be surprisingly strong, and his arm was like an iron tong, and it was useless to use my strength.
Weizi is a special soldier, and his strength is already great, and after being possessed by a ghost, he will often be stimulated to the potential in his body, so as to become stronger, so it is not easy for me to break free.
The others soon found out what had happened to me, and Chen Biao and Wen Qingshan immediately rushed over to help, but Weizi's strength was too great, and they couldn't pull his hand away together.
At this moment, Long Yi walked over, I don't know what he did, Weizi actually let go of his hand, I was finally able to get out, hurriedly took two steps forward, and then looked back, I couldn't help but be taken aback, only to see Weizi's forehead, there was a black rune paper pasted. And Weizi stood there motionless, as if he had been immobilized.
Wen Qingshan, who was on the side, was also shocked when he saw this, this is a black ghost talisman, how could Long Yi use such an evil talisman paper!?
Long Yi saw the doubts in our hearts and said, "You two are right, this is the unique talisman of the Black Demon Sect - the Black Demon Talisman!" ”
"You...... Why do you use this stuff too!? I asked, surprised.
Long Yi hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, although this black demon talisman is an evil sect talisman, as long as it is used properly, even if it is an evil thing, it is not useless." For example, this black demon charm is quite effective against evil things. ”
Wen Qingshan smiled and said, "Hehe, it's understandable, it doesn't matter what runes are useful, good or evil mainly depends on people's hearts." ”
While a few of us were talking, Chen Biao suddenly shouted: "Everyone be careful, there is something!" As soon as he finished speaking, without saying a word, he immediately grabbed his automatic rifle and fired a shuttle of bullets at the statues.
Since this burial chamber is an enclosed space, the sound of gunfire in this small space is particularly deafening, and my ears are shocked and painful. The seven sculptures were all made of black porcelain, and they were shattered by bullets in an instant.
However, in a blink of an eye, the seven ghost sculptures that originally stood there turned into broken porcelain pieces, and without the cover of the sculptures, the ghost things that were shuttling between the sculptures just now finally revealed their true faces.
When I saw the appearance of this thing clearly, I was stunned, this thing stood on two legs, no more than one meter two or three tall, short and thick hind limbs, slender forearms, long black hair all over the body, half-hunched, slightly leaning forward, forearms almost hanging to the ground.
The first thing that came to my mind when I saw its posture was the African great chimpanzee, but if I looked closely, its face looked very much like that of a canine, with its nose protruding outward, and a pair of sharp and long canine teeth at the corners of its mouth, which made it look quite fierce.
I lowered my voice and asked Wen Qingshan, "Boss Wen, have you ever seen this thing before?" ”
Wen Qingshan frowned and replied: "This thing is a bit like an African baboon, but it's still a little different, I don't know what it is, maybe it's an unknown primate." ”
As soon as he heard the baboon, Ouyang Yi immediately thought of something, his face changed slightly, and he exclaimed: "Could this thing be the legendary mandrill?" ”
"Mandrill!?" Wen Qingshan and I blurted out almost in unison.
I do know that the mandrill is a legendary mountain spirit, according to classical records, the mandrill has a long black arm and infinite strength. It is said that it can run faster than a leopard, and can tear tigers and leopards with its bare hands, and it is the king of the mountains, and its lifespan is very long, so it is often regarded as a monster. Few people have ever seen a real mandrill, though.
I opened my mouth and asked, "Dr. Ouyang, why do you think this thing is a mandrill?" ”
Ouyang Yi replied: "It is said that the appearance of mandrills is very similar to that of baboons, and there is a baboon in Africa that is named mandrills because of this. So I think it's most likely a real mandrill. ”
After listening to what Ouyang Yi said, Wen Qingshan nodded thoughtfully: "The Classic of Mountains and Seas? It is mentioned in the "Hai Nei Scroll": There is a Gan giant in the south, with a human face and long arms, and a black body with hair. It refers to mandrills, and if you say that, this thing is really a little similar. ”
But I felt that something was not quite right, and said, "But we are in the middle of a tomb now, and this hellish place is impermeable, so how can mandrills survive in it?" ”
Ouyang Yi said: "Although the mandrill is very similar to the baboon, it is not an ordinary species, but a kind of monster, and it is not surprising that it appears here. ”
Hearing Ouyang Yi say this, I noticed that the body of the mandrill was exuding a yin and evil aura, it seems that this mandrill may also be affected by the evil qi in this tomb, some spirits can survive only by absorbing the earth yin aura, this mandrill is probably the same, in this way, it is not easy to deal with.
I was thinking about it, the mandrill suddenly raised its head and let out a deafening roar, this sound was the roar we heard when we just entered the tomb, at that time we thought it was some kind of beast, it turned out to be this thing, I really didn't expect that this thing is not very big, but it can make a roar comparable to that of a tiger and lion.
Less than a moment after the mandrill roared, there was a rapid noise from beneath the floor, sounding as if something was moving rapidly underground.
Before we could come to our senses, several more black shadows popped out from behind the mandrill, and I couldn't help but be amazed at the fact that there were four or five more mandrills at once!
It turned out that the mandrill was "calling" its companion just now! A few mandrills quickly dispersed, surrounding us and barking their teeth and growling at us.
Everyone didn't dare to slack off, drew their weapons one after another, and put down the protective glass mask on the helmet, and put on a defensive posture.
Because we don't know much about the legendary monster like the mandrill, we don't dare to act rashly, but Chen Biao doesn't believe in evil, he shouted: "Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, we can't deal with a group of monkeys!" With that, he picked up his automatic rifle and pulled the trigger on the mandrill that had appeared at the beginning.
With a few loud "bangs", several bullets were fired at the mandrill, and the mandrill heard the gunshots and quickly dodged to the side, but no matter how fast it was, it couldn't be faster than the bullet, and was hit by the bullet in the right shoulder, and its body immediately stumbled, fell to the ground, and let out a terrible scream.
Seeing that their companions had been knocked down, the other mandrills instinctively took a few steps back, but soon surrounded them again, and Chen Biao immediately turned his gun and shot at the other two mandrills.
Unexpectedly, the two mandrills seemed to know the power of the bullet, and the moment Chen Biao pulled the trigger, they jumped up, quickly dodged to the side, and then pounced on us.
Five mandrills pounced on us from different directions, the tomb was so big, in the blink of an eye, the mandrill had already pounced on me, I clenched the dragon's teeth, and stabbed down towards the mandrill that rushed to me, but the speed of the mandrill was too fast, it dodged my attack lightly, and quickly rushed behind me, I didn't have time to turn around, my back had been attacked by the mandrill, it seemed to be a heavy circle on my back, I was unsteady on my feet for a while, hit a stumbling, and almost fell to the ground, Fortunately, I was wearing a bulletproof vest and my body was fine.
But before I could stand firm, the mandrill pounced again, and it stretched out its long arm and swept towards my legs, and I couldn't dodge for a while, and my legs were caught by its long arms, and with a sharp pull, my body immediately struck horizontally, and I fell heavily to the ground, and the dragon's teeth in my hand came out.
The mandrill jumped on top of me, raised his fist, and slammed it into my head, although I was wearing a helmet, but the glass mask was still beaten by the crazy mandrill countless cracks, although it was not broken, but those cracks severely affected my vision, and for a moment, my vision was blurred, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
I didn't expect that the mandrill, which is only half the size of an adult, has such a powerful explosive power, no wonder the ancient books say that it can tear apart tigers and leopards with bare hands, which seems to be not an exaggeration at all.
My hands groped around on the ground, trying to kill this thing with the dragon's teeth, but when I fell just now, the dragon's teeth didn't know where they fell, and I couldn't touch them for a long time.
I was anxious in my heart, but the mandrill suddenly stopped attacking, I was slightly stunned, what is the situation, could it be that the mandrill knows the difficulty and retreats? Before I could figure it out, the mandrill grabbed my helmet with one of its claws and pulled it wildly.
I couldn't help but be surprised, it seems that the mandrill has discovered the protective effect of the helmet, so it intends to take my helmet off before attacking me.
The mandrill's attack is not ordinary, and once my helmet is removed, I am afraid that it will not be long before my head will be shattered by it.
