Perhaps this is the first time someone has been carried on the back of a mountain ape, and this unprecedented act in history has everyone very excited.
In fact, it is uncomfortable to lie on the back of mountain apes, their body hair is very rough and hard, and even through clothing can cause a tingling sensation on the skin. Coupled with the bumps caused by their leaps through the woods, if the passengers were not professionals and had physical fitness far beyond ordinary people, they would probably have been unable to tolerate this vibration frequency for a long time. However, even with all kinds of discomfort, it still couldn't stop the excitement and enthusiasm of the ten passengers, telling the Mercedes-Benz, facing the breeze in the face of the continuous exclamations.
I have to admit that the mountain ape is advancing very fast in the mountain forest, and the environment that originally caused great trouble to everyone cannot have any impact on the mountain ape, countless trees and rocks retreat rapidly in the field of vision of the passengers, and the earth rises and falls in the eyes of people. Mountain apes sometimes climb to the treetops at the top of the mountain, and take advantage of their height to see the sea of forests stretching out beneath them, and the yellow and green forests stretch endlessly. Far to the west, a river divides Lin Hai into two halves, and even if they are still far apart, you can feel the breadth of the river.
"Oh, oh, oh. The leader of the mountain apes walked at the front with Catherine on his back, and with a loud cry from his mouth, he increased his speed again. The journey of four to five days was shortened to five hours, and the fifty kilometers were conquered by the mountain apes in an instant, and when the apes stopped again, they had reached the edge of the hilly terrain, and although the view was obscured by the trees, the sound of rushing water could still be heard through the forest.
"It's so fast. Catherine knew that she had come down from behind the leader with an expression of disbelief on her face: "Before this, if someone had told me that one day I would ride a mountain ape through the forest, I would never have believed it to be true. ”
"Unfortunately, that's true. After saying that, Pannis jumped off the ape's back, and as soon as he landed, he saw the leader of the mountain ape standing in front of him, scratching his ears and cheeks, staring at him impatiently. Pannis shook his head helplessly, took out a waterproof leather bag, and took out ten pieces of barbecue meat cooked last night with the secret method of the feather people. The leader greedily smelled this tempting aroma, and the crystal saliva continued to drip from the corners of his mouth, and the other nine apes also put down the passengers on their backs, and quickly surrounded them, looking at Pannis's hand with a blank eye.
"I'm really scared of you. Pannis muttered helplessly, and put ten pieces of roast meat into a small bag and hung them around the leader's neck. The leader hammered his chest excitedly, let out a series of incomprehensible screams, jumped happily, and ran towards the hilly area without looking back, and the other nine apes also looked happy, squeaked and screamed and followed the leader and quickly left.
"These guys are really funny. Lina pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose and showed a somewhat strange smile: "It turns out that there are other interesting things in the world besides books." ”
"Hey, when did you put on your glasses?" Dora was taken aback by Lina again, "I haven't seen you before." ”
"Just now. Lina took off her eyes and wiped the two transparent spar polished lenses: "Anyway, it's flat, so you don't need to bring it." ”
"And what are you doing with it now?" Dora couldn't understand Lina's thoughts at all.
"Because I think I need it now. Lina looked at Dora with a stupid look: "Such a simple question to ask me?"
"Senior sister, senior sister, is this guy okay?" Dora ran to Catherine's side and grabbed Catherine's arm: "Did she eat something unclean?" ”
"You go away. Catherine pulled out her arm and kicked Dora over, ignoring Dora's complaining eyes.
"Idiot. Lina put her glasses back on, and the hedron lenses shone with an eerie glow in the afternoon light.
"Congratulations, long-legged metamorphosis. Pannis crouched down in front of Dora and patted her on the shoulder as if comforting: "Congratulations on getting my usual treatment, that's great news." ”
"Die, I haven't settled accounts with you yet. Dora angrily imitated Catherine and kicked Pannisy away with the same action: "How dare you betray me to a monkey." ”
"Another idiot. Lina pushed her glasses again and snorted coldly, "Is this world full of stupid people now?"
"Don't make any noise. The petite Vivien suddenly let out a roar that was completely opposite to her size: "Shut up." ”
The chaotic crowd immediately became silent, and everyone was silent and peeked at the furious Vivien out of the corner of their eyes, but after Vivien roared, she continued to crouch on the ground and keep recording in her notebook as if she had done nothing.
"Remembering the mountain ape?" said Pannis, crouching beside Vivien.
"yes, that's unique. Vivien could tell that she had indeed forgotten that she had just exploded in anger a few seconds ago, and heard Pannis's question with a feverish look on her face: "Their appearance, their voice, their habits, their characteristics, their way of life, all need to be recorded." The most important thing is that they have wisdom, especially the leader, who already has the characteristics of intelligent beings. No matter how dangerous this adventure is, I must not die, and I must publish this report. ”
"Isn't it special?" asked Pernis, puzzled, "There are many kinds of intelligent beings, humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, and many other races, even if these mountain apes also have intelligence, there is nothing special about it." ”
"No, you don't understand, only scholars can understand the value in it. Vivien wrote the last stroke, snapped the notebook shut, and struggled to stand up by Pannis's shoulders, shaking her numb legs as she said, "Remember the creation epic?"
"The song of Yara? Pannis nodded.
"All the intelligent races, each one, can find their shadow in the Song of Yara. Vivien's expression was as serious as she had never been, and even her voice trembled a little: "Every race is created by gods, including the gods of the First Age, and it is also an appendage of Lord Yara at the time of creation, and the wisdom of all intelligent races is opened by gods, and there are no exceptions before. But this group of mountain apes is an exception, their names are nowhere to be found in the Song of Yara, and their wisdom does not know where it came from, and it seems as if it has emerged little by little over thousands of years. What does this mean? This shows that there may be another way besides the wisdom of the gods, and this is a discovery that is enough to stir up the entire world of scholars. If you give them another tens of thousands of years, maybe their wisdom is comparable to that of us now. If it weren't for us, or for some reason, the creatures of this era were destroyed again, and they survived, maybe they would be the protagonists of the next era. ”
"So what?" asked Pannis, "does this have any effect on us, or is there any particular research observation that needs to be made?"
"Well, no. Vivian lowered her head weakly: "Without the accumulation of thousands of years and tens of thousands of years, I am afraid that no specific changes can be observed, this is just an astonishing but meaningless discovery." ”
"Hmm, I see. Pannis shrugged, patted Vivien on the shoulder, and turned to leave.
"Hmph, mortal wisdom. Vivien stomped her foot angrily and muttered, "Maybe mortals have the present, but history and the future belong to scholars, and you will never understand the charm of knowledge." ”
"Miss Mage, who has a monopoly on the future and history. Pannis smiled and said, "Come along, we'll leave the forest ahead, and we'll cross the Nalamia River as soon as possible to the other side, and then camp for the night, oh no, it's daytime." ”
"You're done with your research?" everyone was waiting for Pennis and Vivien at the edge of the forest, and when Vivien pouted and followed Pennis out of the woods, Catherine asked, "Why doesn't Vivien look so happy?" ”
"Hit. Pannis snickered and said, "It's not me who fights, it's vulgar reality and mortal wisdom." ”
"Hmph. Vivien turned her head in exasperation, no longer looking at Pannis's hateful smile.
"I don't understand what you're talking about. Catherine rolled her eyes: "Elad said that the location here is a bit off, and there are still more than thirty kilometers away from the best place to cross the river, do you think we should go around or row over on a raft?"
"Let's go to the river first, and then see what is going on by the river before deciding how to get there. Pannis was also a little depressed when he heard the news: "If you take a detour, it's too far, this deviation is a bit big, alas, let's go, go out of the forest first." ”
"Have you talked enough?" asked Dora, leaning closer, "Is business over?"
"That's right. Catherine said, "What's the matter?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I haven't settled my account with someone yet. Dora glared at Pannis angrily and flew up with a kick: "Let you betray me, let you betray me." ”
"Haha, actually, I mean well. Pannis had already hid behind Catherine when Dora approached, smirking around Catherine and Dora: "You see, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't know that your charm has transcended racial barriers, and even demonic beasts can be charmed, right? ”
"Glad hell. Dora angrily chased around Catherine: "Are you happy that I stabbed you with a sword?" ”
"Alright, don't make a fuss. Catherine stretched out her hand and punched one of them on the head: "Are you just three years old? ”
"Senior sister is eccentric. Dora muttered a few words aggrievedly, but after thinking about it, she felt that what Pannis said also made sense: "But, indeed, it seems that my charm is even greater than I thought, oh hehehehe." ”
Pannis blinked strangely, and said abruptly: "I remember, I'll go to the river to explore first, and I'll be back in a while, I'll go first." ”
"Probe?" Catherine was inexplicable: "Probe what?"
Before Catherine could figure out what Pannis was going to investigate, Phantom Fox had already walked over with a serious face and said in a heavy tone: "Captain, there is one thing I have thought about for a long time, and I decided that I still can't hide it from you. ”
"Ahh
"Before we came into contact with the mountain apes, Mr. Pannis asked me to do something that mattered to the perfect execution of his plan. Phantom Fox hung his head, seeming a little uneasy: "I didn't want the captain to know it, but my conscience is disturbed if I don't say it." ”
"What the hell is going on? Dora looked at the three girls in the group suspiciously, and they also looked strange.
"Mr. Pannis, I asked me to cast an illusion on your body, Captain, the spell is very weak and will not affect anyone, and you will not notice, but because the magic resistance of mountain apes is very, very low, they will be interfered with by illusions. Phantom Fox's voice trembled a little: "The effect of magic is to change the appearance in the eyes of the other party, simply put, it is to let the other party see what the caster wants them to see." ”
"Well, can you tell me what they look like of me?" Dora had an ominous premonition in her heart, and the corners of her mouth twitched and asked, "Don't worry, I can hold on." ”
Phantom Fox not only trembled in his voice, but even his shoulders trembled, no matter how he looked at it, it seemed that he couldn't help laughing instead of being nervous. While holding back the tremors of his body, Phantom Fox took out a piece of paper with a drawing on it and handed it to Dora: "That's what it looks like, Mr. Pannis drew it for me." ”
"Pan ~ Ni ~ Si ~. Dora gritted her teeth roared from the forest, "I'm going to kill you!"
