Chapter 51: The Cat and the Mouse (2)

"It doesn't matter what it is, if we can get to Mozi's residence, everything should have clues." Jiang Xian took out a marker pen and drew on the ground: "I can't see how wide the bridge is. But it shouldn't be narrow, we can go directly to the terrace from the fourth floor passage and go up the bridge from the terrace. But ......"

He took a deep breath and looked at everyone: "Wait." ”

"I don't believe it's going to stay forever. As soon as it's gone, we'll get on the bridge! ”

Everyone nodded, buried behind the guardrail, and waited quietly.

An hour...... An hour and a half...... For two hours, the giant ape crane didn't move! It was as if the green light had a fatal attraction to it, and apart from occasionally turning its head to drink some water and catching a few zombie fish as snacks, the giant ape crane did not leave Mozi's residence for half a step.

It's ten o'clock...... Jiang Xian looked at his watch anxiously, what the hell was it waiting for?

Just when everyone was a little irritable, the giant ape crane finally moved.

It slowly raised its head, two white gases erupted from its huge nostrils, and suddenly stood up straight, slammed its chest hard, and let out an earth-shattering roar "Wow——!! ”

At a distance of kilometers, the sound was inaudible when it reached the other side of the river. However, everyone's eyes lit up in unison and quietly poked their heads out.

Knock ——! The massive, mountain-like body turned around and pointed in the direction they had come down. With heavy steps, he walked slowly towards the road he had come.

"Finally gone......" Hong Siniang breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could be happy, Jiang Xian solemnly raised his fingers and made a gesture of silence. At the same time, he pointed in the direction of the waterfall.

Hong Siniang looked at his fingers, and just looked at it, I only felt that my hairs stood upside down! Dozens of white figures, out of nowhere, are walking towards the giant ape crane!

"This is ......" he said hoarsely with some cramps in the corners of his eyes, "Those apes and cranes...... Coming back? ”

"We miscalculated." Jiang Xian's thick eyebrows furrowed, grinding his teeth and said, "The center of the ape crane's activity is the natural cave. But...... The road to where to go has collapsed. They can't find their way and naturally return early! ”

If the atmosphere just now was still waiting quietly, but now, everyone's hearts suddenly lifted.

This represents...... They will spend the night together with the ape crane in this underground palace!

Like a tight tightrope, all eyes looked at Jiang Xian. Jiang Xian gritted his teeth and said from between his teeth: "Now, I want to go over." ”

His voice was breathing, but unwavering. Ling Xiaozi Huo Ran raised his head with an unbelievable look on his face: "It's too dangerous......"

"But this is the only chance!" Jiang Xian stared at the opposite side, and the deep green light flickered slightly: "What might happen to that thing." Before the change, this monster may never leave! When the apes and cranes return to their nests, this place will be extremely dangerous. I can't pass up this opportunity! ”

Hong Siniang and the eight-armed Arhat did not speak.

After being silent for a few seconds, Hong Siniang sighed faintly: "Master Jiang." I'm sorry. ”

They don't go!

Ling Xiaozi raised his eyes and looked at the other party, but didn't say anything.

Once it succeeds, it will only be separated from the giant ape crane by a wall! It's really pinning your life to the waistband of your pants.

If it doesn't succeed, it is very likely to cause all the apes and cranes to chase and kill, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is nine deaths and one life!

The other party is just here to help the boxer, not to send him to death, and it is already commendable to help him all the way. There is no reason for the other side to take such a level of risk.

Jiang Xian smiled and suddenly said, "I don't want anything." ”

The eight-armed arhat shook his head: "Mr. Jiang, this is not a matter of remuneration. This time, we didn't intend to get paid. ”

"But, we don't want to die." Hong Siniang lit a cigarette and spit out a puff of blue-blue smoke: "My child is still in junior high school, and we have an accident, what should the child do?" ”

Jiang Xian smiled and clenched his fists, and then restrained his smile: "Then please be sure to find a way out." Wait for me at your bridge. ”

"Don't worry." The eight-armed Arhat said solemnly: "We have all come here, everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, without you, we may not be able to walk out later." As long as you don't have to give up, we'll do our best to save you. ”

Jiang Xian nodded deeply. Without speaking again, he took the lead and walked towards the terrace.

Due to the departure of the giant ape crane, they were much faster. In just two or three minutes, we were already at the edge of the terrace. It's still a stone house with endless windings, but the workmanship is noticeably more exquisite.

At this moment, Jiang Xian suddenly raised his hand. The team immediately stopped, he looked around vigilantly, and whispered, "Do you smell it?" ”

Ling Xiaozi sniffed vigorously, and then fanned his teeth: "This is ...... The smell of decay? ”

No one was moving forward, and the terrace was right in front of them, about a few hundred meters in size, with sculptures on it, but it was not very clear. The stone houses against the walls were also much more elaborate - this should have been the housing of the leadership of the time. The smell of decay also comes from within.

After glancing at each other, Jiang Xian took a deep breath and ran over first.

The others immediately followed. Getting closer...... It became clearer and clearer, just as it approached the terrace twenty meters. Hong Siniang's eyes flashed, and she said in a low voice: "Enter the fourth stone house on the terrace, what is that?" ”

Brushing and brushing, the three eyes immediately looked over, and then saw clearly...... There, there was a man!

A man lying on the ground!

The upper body is dressed in gray clothes, and the lower body is hidden inside the door, and although the face cannot be seen clearly, it can be determined that it is a person!

This kind of place...... How could anyone be?!

This thought crossed the minds of several people in an instant, and everyone quickened their pace again. In just a minute, four figures stood in front of the stone gate at the same time, looking at the people on the ground in surprise.

People indeed.

However, it was a dead man.

Most of his body is covered in bones. All that was left was some of the hard-to-chew meat in the chest and abdomen. The clothes were torn to pieces. I can vaguely make out that I am wearing a short coat...... The eight-armed Arhat raised his eyes and looked inside the door, only to find ...... The lower half of the opponent's body has completely disappeared.

"This was gnawed by an ape crane." Jiang Xian looked at the clear imprint on the bones, squinted his eyes, and stood up solemnly: "Ape and crane eat each other here?" ”

Why?

Animals that live in groups usually live around the chief, and the cave where the leader lives is five hundred meters away from them, and the ape and crane groups live here? But the doors here also don't allow them to enter.

In a trance, he seemed to think of something. But if you think about it carefully, it's like a mirror, and you can't figure it out. It's just that the subconscious mind is reminding him: this is important, you must remember it!

"This ...... It's that second darer, right? Everyone was no stranger to corpses, Ling Xiaozi looked at them carefully and said: "It is very similar to the local peasants' clothes, and the time of death is inferred to be similar......

He craned his neck and looked inside the door: "He was obviously dragged in, this is the cafeteria of the ape crane?" But how ......"

Before the words fell, a snow-white figure suddenly rushed out of one side of the wall, and with a mouth that was a foot long, it suddenly bit towards Ling Xiaozi's head!

The change came too suddenly, and Ling Xiaozi's scalp was numb for a moment. The neck instinctively shrank, only to hear the sound, just a few meters in front of him, two rows of bloody teeth bitten together!

His heart almost stopped beating, but in this case, Ling Xiaozi still didn't let out a single scream. As soon as the body rolled, a lazy donkey rolled and rolled quickly backwards. Almost at the same time, Jiang Xian pulled out his back to slash the dragon, and rushed forward with one arrow step.

Right in front of them, a primate about three or four meters in size was poking its head out of the door. It looks exactly like the ape crane, except that its hair is pale blonde, and it has not yet grown fangs on the side of its mouth. At the moment when it crawled out, the dragon slaying sword was already aimed at its heart.

Jiang Xian rushed forward with a sword like a raging wind. And at this moment, the sharp blade instinctively made the little ape crane feel the danger! It...... Mouth wide open.

It's going to be called!

At this moment, Jiang Xian was blessed to his heart. Forced to stop, at the same time ...... His left hand stretched forward, and the hand holding the sword went backwards.

The sword light disappeared in an instant, and all this was just between the rise and fall of the rabbit. The little ape's eyes widened, and the instinctive danger made it choose to call for its companion, but the danger suddenly disappeared, slowing its cry a beat.

It's this beat, and it's in the mouth...... Something was suddenly stuffed in.

The little ape's eyes flashed, and then he immediately bit down hard!

Meat...... It's meat!

I just ate meat not long ago!

There is also a salty liquid that I need very much!

With a bite, blood splashed in an instant! It was nothing else stuffed into its mouth, it was Jiang Xian's left hand!

Blood flowed down the camouflage suit - the teeth of the ape crane were like two sharp blades, and even the bite force of the small ape crane should not be underestimated. At the same time, the little ape crane suddenly trembled, and his clenched teeth loosened without warning, and his eyes began to be blank.

Right in his chest, Jiang Xian held the dragon slayer in his right hand, and he had already stabbed it to the core.

"Hmm...... Boom......" A faint cry came from the mouth of the little ape, but he couldn't shout out. Gradually, its body stopped cramping, and its large mouth opened completely. It fell to the ground with a clatter like a broken puppet.

It all went by so fast, no more than three or four seconds in total. When everyone reacted, they immediately rushed over.

"Are you alright?" Ling Xiaozi grabbed him, Jiang Xian's teeth were about to be broken, cold sweat was covered on his forehead, and he covered his hands tremblingly. Hong Siniang and the eight-armed Arhat immediately took out the gauze in their medical kit and immediately helped him bandage it.

The scar was so deep that the flesh inside could be clearly seen. Ling Xiaozi said hatefully: "Are you a pig?" Don't die! Do you need to fight so hard?! ”

Jiang Xian didn't speak, and others still helped him bandage him, but his eyes were closed. After a long time, he said: "I can use ......"

"If it screams...... I don't know what the consequences will be. ”

"Do you remember...... The Golden Retriever we found earlier in the Stone House? These are the hairs of the little ape crane, here...... It's their nursery......"

"Wow Wow ......" "Wow Wow ......" Before anyone else could speak, the next second, a scattered wow wow sound came into everyone's ears.

Like a bell from hell, everyone was stunned, and then slowly looked left and right, upward.

Around them, five or six small apes and cranes quietly appeared, poking their heads out of the room, holding their hands on the door, looking in horror at the uninvited guests, at the corpses of their kind on the ground, and then ...... At the same time opened his mouth.

At this moment, everyone's heart rose to their throats.

"Wow Wow ——!!!!"

Immediately after, a piercing scream instantly resounded throughout the area!

Everyone's five senses seemed to be out of their bodies, Jiang Xian pushed Ling Xiaozi away, took out his binoculars tremblingly, and looked into the distance.

More than 200 meters away, on the other side of the river, the giant ape crane that was walking slowly suddenly stopped. Then, slowly turning the huge head.

The blood-red eyes happened to be looking at Jiang Xian!

And farther away, the ears of all the apes and cranes moved, and they suddenly raised their heads, staring at where they were!
