Chapter 9: The Grimace Monkey

It was a creepy face, with no luster to be seen in the deeply sunken eye sockets, only a pair of gray eyes that were turning strangely, and the emaciated cheekbones were full of bark-like folds, like ...... It's like a dried corpse that has been sealed for many years!

"Uh-huh!"

Xiang Jiuxi was taken off guard, lost his balance with a muffled snort, and his whole body fell upside down on the spot and fell to the ground.

The "grimace" was quite agile, and at the same time as Xiang Jiuxi was planted, he immediately jumped away from his neck and jumped to the ground with a few strokes along the "groove".

In a panic, Xiang Jiuxi saw the back of the grimace clearly, which was a monkey-like creature.

The entrance of the cave is three meters high from the ground, so ordinary people have to break a few bones if they fall.

Fortunately, Xiang Jiuxi was born in the army, relying on his excellent physical fitness, he protected his head with two elbows in time, rolled on one side and landed smoothly, except for some concussions in his internal organs, there was no damage to his muscles and bones.

As he settled, he held his spear across his chest and pressed his back firmly against the wall, and began to search around with a keen eye for danger signs.

After the air was quiet for a few minutes, Xiang Jiuxi finally breathed a sigh of relief after he was sure that there was no other danger here, but the face like a dried corpse just now was still deeply engraved in his mind, lingering for a long time.

Xiang Jiuxi exhaled, trying to calm his emotions back, extreme emotions would only affect his judgment.

From now on, he was going to explore the cave, and he had to keep a clear head and deal with the positional realm ahead.

First of all, Xiang Jiuxi set his eyes on the entrance of the luminous tunnel.

After regaining his composure, he crept to the entrance of the cave, and at this moment, the faint blue light flickered on and off, like a flame swaying in the wind, and his whole body was gloomy and white.

The tunnel is not long, the entrance is very smooth, and there are obvious signs of repair.

Xiang Jiuxi was lying at the entrance of the cave, and at a glance he saw the end of the other side, where there were really a few dark blue flames, churning in mid-air.

"That's, that's ......"

This bizarre scene seemed to bring Xiang Jiuxi into some kind of crazy hallucination, and he even saw a dexterous white bone standing at the end of the tunnel, the white bone posture was graceful, dancing with the blue flames, and there was a trace of enchantment under the writhing body.

He stared at the white bones as if he was obsessed, and looked at it for a long time, suddenly! White Bone turned his head and seductively stretched out his arms to him, as if to extend an invitation.

Xiang Jiuxi was taken aback, he shook his head vigorously, rubbed his eyes again, and looked at the entrance of the cave again.

But see! The white bones were already lying at the mouth of the hole on the other side, staring back at him!

"Shhh

Xiang Jiuxi was so frightened that he retreated again and again! At this time, there was a sudden sound of air chirping in my ears, which was poignant and tactful, making people throb!

With the sound of the air, the white bones had already burrowed into the tunnel and were slowly crawling towards him!

He wanted to escape, but his limbs seemed to be restrained by someone, unable to control himself, so he could only stare at the constricted pupils, let the white bones slowly crawl out of the hole, and stretched out a pair of white sensen's bone claws to him!

Whoop -

At the critical moment, a dull sound of running water reawakened his consciousness.

"Whew!"

Xiang Jiuxi's chest rose and fell rapidly, he was struggling to breathe air, his lips were already purple, and although his limbs could barely move, they also became very sluggish.

"Oxygen ...... Oxygen. ”

Xiang Jiuxi tried hard to gather his dilated pupils, and moved his stiff joints again, reflecting that he was most likely in a hallucination before suffocation.

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

He slapped his mouth a few times, his consciousness was a little more sober, and then he looked closely, there were no white bones dancing in front of him, only a few blue flames that were gradually fainting!

Looking at the fading blue light, Xiang Jiuxi was firm in his thoughts, the oxygen content in the ground had become so thin that it was impossible to even maintain the flame burning.

Realizing this, Xiang Jiuxi couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, and he was so afraid that he trembled, if it wasn't for the sound of flowing water that woke him up, I'm afraid he would be buried here!

But on second thought, isn't it? From the first time he lifted the bluestone door plaque, the flame was burning, even if he went deep into the ground, he didn't find anything abnormal, why was there a sudden lack of oxygen?

After thinking about it, Xiang Jiuxi suddenly realized!

There must be other vents in the underground cavern here, so the flames can be kept burning, and as for the current state of lack of oxygen, it must have been done by the ghost-faced monkey who ran out!

The ghost-faced monkey was short, and he didn't think he was completely sure that he would kill Xiang Jiuxi, so he quietly slipped to the ground and blocked all the vents, trying to trap him underground!

Thinking of this, Xiang Jiuxi "chuckled" in his heart, in this way, the intelligence level of that ghost monkey is far superior to that of other apes, can it be said that ......

Before he had time to think about it, his breathing began to grow more and more rapid, so he had to hurry to the bottom of the tunnel, climb up the "groove" stairs, crawl and crawl, and his head "clanged" against a stone.

It is clear that this exit has been blocked by a grimace.

"Dog thing! Insidious! Despicable! Villain! ”

Xiang Jiuxi cursed again and again in his heart, but he was helpless, who called himself a ghost monkey?

He tried to push the stone with his shoulder, but he didn't move, and he estimated the weight in his heart, at least two hundred pounds, and he couldn't hold it at all, unless he could slowly move it from it.

At this time, the blue light on the ground had been quietly extinguished, and the feeling of dizziness immediately swept through the whole body, Xiang Jiuxi held himself on to the entrance of the cave, leaning his nose close to the gap between the stone and the entrance of the cave, and breathing the air hard.

Although the stone was heavy, it could not completely block the air, and he was quickly freed from the crisis of lack of oxygen.

After he became conscious, Xiang Jiuxi knew that there was no hope of saving himself, so he turned the spearhead at the hole, adjusted his breathing rate, and began to lie motionless in place.

Xiang Jiuxi thought in his heart, the ghost-faced monkey is so familiar with this cave, it must be its long-term residence, and he will not give up easily, as long as he can survive for a while, and when it enters the cave, he will be able to complete the Jedi counterattack!

Fortunately, he just ate beef not long ago, and his physical strength is still very full, and the "dimples" carefully carved by the ghost monkey also saved him a lot of effort, and it is not a problem to last for a long time.

It's just that...... He licked his lips, still regretting that he couldn't replenish the fresh water, although the conditions were limited, he was still completely sure that he would kill the ghost monkey with one blow.

I waited quietly for a long time, but there was still no movement on it.

After his leisure, Xiang Jiuxi couldn't help but think of the blue flame burning in the air at the end of the tunnel, it was probably a "ghost fire", right?

He could not find a more plausible explanation.

Speaking of which, ghost fire is not an uncommon thing, it is just phosphine decomposed from the bones, phosphine has a very low ignition point, can be burned at room temperature, and its flame is light blue.

And he is now in the underground of a mass grave, and the last thing he lacks is bones, and it is not surprising that there can be ghost fire.

There is no such thing as a strange thing in this world, as long as the reason is clarified, it is just a prop of the universe.

As he comforted himself in this way, a blue, deep light suddenly lit up under his feet.

It was a creepy face, with no luster to be seen in the deeply sunken eye sockets, only a pair of gray eyes that were turning strangely, and the emaciated cheekbones were full of bark-like folds, like ...... It's like a dried corpse that has been sealed for many years!
