Chapter 45: The Giant Ape Haunts
"Chasing?"
After Chen Heng spoke categorically, everyone hesitated for a moment and nodded in unison.
However, Chen Heng didn't leave immediately, turned around and looked at Xiaobai with some concern, and said, "How is your injury?"
The worry on his face was overflowing, Xiao Bai was slightly moved, and said softly: "It's not in the way, it's just a flesh injury, and I feel much better after changing the medicine." Time is pressing, let's hurry up!"
Chen Heng carefully observed Xiaobai, and saw that his expression did not show the slightest reluctance, so he relieved himself.
The decision was made, and everyone did not delay any longer, packed up and went on the road again.
"Over there!" Xiao Bai pointed to the left front, which was the road they had found all the way, with traces left by the two forces.
Chen Heng nodded and led them back to that road.
Following the traces left by the sword, all the way forward, everyone found some corpses one after another.
However, after entering the mountains and forests, the terrain is narrow, and I am afraid that they have no intention of dealing with those brute beasts anymore, so although there are still many traces left by brute beasts, they have never seen the corpses of brute beasts again.
In a short time, they were out of the forest, but instead of a wide area, they were in front of them, but another forest. To be precise, it's a giant forest of trees.
The trees in the giant forest are at least tens or hundreds of years taller than the previous ones, and the trunk of the smallest one can only be hugged by two people. Some of the bigger ones are probably not even if Chen Heng and the four of them hold hands.
The light in the giant tree forest is a little more abundant, and most of the branches and leaves are far from the ground, which seems to be a lot empty.
It's just that it's unusually quiet, and there's no sound. Something seemed to have completely swallowed up all the sounds.
The whole world seemed to be the only four of them, and all that could be heard around them was the sound of footsteps under their feet, not to mention the sound of the wind, not even the chirping of insects, which made people feel nervous.
"Come closer, don't get separated!"
Chen Heng was stunned as soon as he finished speaking, he spoke in a normal tone, but in this silent giant forest, the voice could not be heard, but it was barely heard by a few people around him.
Chen Heng had a hunch that in this forest, even if he opened his throat and yelled, I was afraid that the sound would not come far.
In this way, if there is any danger around you, it is difficult to detect it in the first place.
With a wave of his hand, Chen Heng led everyone to continue forward, this strange atmosphere made his expression much more solemn and became more cautious.
The four of them were close together, and Su Ling hugged Xiaobai's left arm again, moving his steps forward nervously.
The surrounding environment made Su Ling's brain blank, and at this time, there were only three people left in her mind, and she was completely subconsciously following, unable to remember what she was here to do.
Everyone held their breath and walked cautiously forward, listening intently for any sounds that might arise.
Suddenly, Chen Heng's eyes froze, and he suddenly froze, and his whole body suddenly became a little stiff.
Xiao Bai, who was walking behind him, didn't expect it at all, and hit his back directly, and Su Ling also pressed his whole body against Xiao Bai because of this collision.
Su Fan, who was walking at the end, hurriedly held them steady, looked past a few people and looked forward, and a trace of surprise suddenly flashed on his face.
On the ground in front of them, a huge corpse, more than two feet tall, lay on the ground like a small hill.
This corpse has jet-black hair all over its body, and its shape resembles that of an orangutan, like a large mouth of a blood basin showing strong canine teeth, and it looks fierce and terrifying. The limbs are unusually thick, and judging from the muscle lines alone, the hidden power in them is absolutely explosive.
It was such a terrifying giant ape, and at this time, it actually fell in a pool of blood, and a lot of blood flowed under it.
In addition to the blood and water under the giant ape, there is also a large circle of human corpses, which are also left by the people of the previous two forces, and there are people on both sides.
The corpses of these humans were not as complete as those of the giant apes, the flesh and blood were blurred everywhere, east and west, and the air exuded a strong smell of blood, which was disgusting.
When everyone was shocked by this scene, Xiaobai suddenly pointed forward and exclaimed, "Look!"
Following Xiaobai's point, Chen Heng glanced at it, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
"It's ......"
He stepped forward, leaned down, and reached out to press a fallen tree next to the great ape's corpse.
Where Chen Heng's palm pressed down, a palm mark appeared in the body of the tree.
Chen Heng's palm was placed in that palm print, as slender as a baby.
Seeing this scene, the minds of everyone who approached all came up with the tragic picture of the giant ape uprooting the tree and smashing the tree.
Su Ling still held Xiao Bai's arm tightly, and tiptoed behind him towards Chen Heng, for fear of stepping on something.
If it weren't for the bloody scenes left over from the Great War all the way around, and slowly getting used to it, as soon as he saw the situation in front of him, I was afraid that Su Ling would have fainted as soon as possible.
Su Fan also walked to Chen Heng's side, tried the weight of the big tree with the palm print, and couldn't help but say, "What a lot of strength!"
After a brief shock, Chen Heng slowly got up and carefully observed the surrounding situation.
Obviously, those humans who lay on the ground and died, either slapped to death by the giant ape, or were smashed flat by it with a big tree, and the death was extremely horrific, not even a complete corpse was left, just from the mess of the scene, you can imagine how tragic the battle just now was.
But why didn't they hear the movement just now? Could this place really swallow up the sound?
However, what made Chen Heng even more curious was how did this giant ape with the shape of King Kong die?
Judging from its size, it is not difficult to see how amazing its defensive power is, what kind of power can kill such a giant beyond?
Chen Heng looked at it carefully for a long time, although the fur on the surface of the giant ape fell off in many places, there was no wound, that is to say, those humans just now had not been able to break through its defenses at all.
"Here!"
Xiao Bai seemed to know what Chen Heng was looking for, and after going around in a circle, he finally found that the flesh and blood on the soles of the giant ape's feet were blurred, and there was not even a piece of complete flesh and skin.
Chen Heng followed over to take a look, and couldn't help but gasp, and said, "It seems that the weakness of this giant ape lies in the feet. However, the injury to the soles of the feet can only limit its movement at best, but it is not fatal. ”
After carefully observing for a long time, Chen Heng finally found the fatal place along the source of the pool of blood.
The giant ape had been sent into its body by the monk's spell and died, and from its open mouth, it was completely charred and black, and I don't know how many times it took to vomit blood to form a pool of blood.
After figuring out the cause and effect, Chen Heng couldn't help but be secretly frightened, if their team encountered a giant ape in the giant wood forest, I am afraid that none of them would survive.
After all, none of the four of them could use spells, and a simple physical attack would not be possible to kill the giant ape.
When he turned around and saw the tiredness on everyone's faces, and saw that it was getting late, he raised his head to them and said, "Go out first." ”
In fact, everyone had long wanted to leave, and this place made each of them feel a sense of shock.
Following the original path, Chen Heng led everyone to the outside of the giant wood forest.
Probably because it was too quiet here, everyone kept quiet, without any communication, and tried not to make any sound, until Chen Heng stopped again.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Chen Heng frowning, Xiao Bai couldn't help but ask softly.
Chen Heng said: "Did you find it? We didn't go far, but now we have been walking for most of the day, and we haven't even gone out yet!"
Behind him, Su Ling showed his little head and said with a little worry: "You don't want to say that we are lost, do you?"
Chen Heng nodded, and said a little helplessly: "I'm afraid yes, if I'm not mistaken, this giant wood forest is probably a natural maze." ”
"What should I do then?" Su Ling suddenly became nervous.
The atmosphere here is really weird, and it can easily affect people's emotions, otherwise Chen Heng wouldn't want to quit without gaining.
"This should be the ape valley mentioned on that silk handkerchief, right?"
Xiao Bai's words immediately reminded everyone of the content on the silk handkerchief, and Su Ling even secretly blamed himself for not listening to Xiao Bai's words before, so that he couldn't advance or retreat now.
"And it doesn't matter if this is the Ape Valley or the Ape Forest, if you don't enter, you've already entered, so calm down first, the situation is not as bad as you think. ”
Chen Heng frowned and groaned: "Judging from the current situation, there are two main dangers we face in this forest, one is the environment, and the other is the giant ape. As long as we can find a way out of the Giant Wood Forest before we are discovered by the Great Ape. ”
Although he heard Chen Heng say this, Su Ling was still very worried and said: "But we don't know the number and location of the giant apes at all, and the sound can't be transmitted here, I'm afraid we can only find out when they get closer, and we won't be able to run away when we want to." ”
Chen Heng said: "Don't worry too much, if my prediction is correct, the two groups of people who fought before may also be trapped here." There are many of them, and they are walking in front, and the attention of the giant ape should be attracted by them, as long as we are careful, it is not a big problem. It's a maze......"
Chen Heng really didn't know anything about the formation, otherwise he wouldn't have been trapped in the lover's flower last time.
Thinking of his lover's flower, Chen Heng subconsciously looked at Xiaobai, who also turned his head to look at it at the same time, as if he also remembered the situation that night, but it was quite similar to now.
"Don't worry, I'll leave this maze to me!"
Xiao Bai said with confidence, and without waiting for others to ask, his hands tugged at the void, and he seemed to be holding something in his hands.
Everyone took a closer look and found that Xiaobai was holding a very thin silk thread in his hand, and he was afraid that he would not be able to find it if he didn't pay attention. At the other end of the thread, a giant tree is connected not far away.
"This is ......" Chen Heng seemed to think of something, but he didn't quite understand.
Xiaobai smiled and explained: "Actually, for the sake of insurance, when I entered the giant wood forest, I tied one of the trees with silk threads and pulled it all the way, but I was worried that you would say that I was suspicious, so I didn't tell you." ”
After listening to Xiaobai's words, everyone also came to their senses.
Su Ling hugged Xiaobai's arm and said excitedly: "Xiaobai is still the smartest, who dares to say that you are suspicious, I will help you beat him." ”
As he spoke, he also looked at Chen Heng and Su Fan as if demonstrating, the latter was not only helpless, but also happy because of Xiaobai's wisdom.
"Miss Su, you let go of me first, otherwise you will break the silk thread in a while, and you will be very happy and sad!"
Su Ling spit out his pink tongue, and hurriedly let go of Xiaobai, and his delicate appearance also made everyone laugh, and his mood relaxed a lot.
Xiaobai walked ahead, leading everyone forward along the silk thread.
Soon Chen Heng noticed that although the size of each giant tree here was different, the gap in the middle was the same, and at a glance, there were roads everywhere, which could easily make people lose their way.
So when he led the way just now, although he thought he was walking in a straight line, he turned the direction every time without knowing it, and he couldn't help but secretly admire Xiaobai's carefulness and intelligence.
If it weren't for Xiaobai, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to get out of this giant forest even if they went around for a few more days.
After walking for a while, Xiao Bai, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and looked ahead a little depressed.
Chen Heng was puzzled: "Why don't you leave?"
Xiaobai stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and said depressedly: "There is no road ahead." ”
"No way?"
Chen Heng took two steps forward and looked at it, stunned.
The moonlight sprinkled on the humus of the forest, and the watery moonlight was particularly dark in a few steps away, swallowing up the light-like feeling of a pool of water.
It was a big pit, a big pit that was stepped on by the huge soles of the feet.
Suddenly, all eyes focused on the center of the footprint pit, and they all showed a wry smile.
There, there was a broken silk thread, messy.
