Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Mandrill
There was a dense forest ahead, and now that the hour was getting late, it was not appropriate to go any further.
He Lingjiang and the others simply set up a bonfire, and under the mountain rock on the side of the dense forest, they temporarily repaired it, and waited until dawn tomorrow to move forward.
They walked in the mountains for three days, and after this dense forest came the hinterland of the Ailao Mountains.
The mountains here are deep and densely forested, and there are almost no traces of predecessors entering.
It stands to reason that the people of the Rajabe have lived at the foot of Ailao Mountain for so many years, so they will not be unable to come here, but since they have stopped moving, there must be a reason to avoid coming ahead.
There were many fierce beasts in the mountains, He Zheng patrolled around, and sprinkled the medicine powder that expelled the beasts, and then returned to the fire: "Seven Ladies, you rest first, and your subordinates come down to keep vigil." ”
He Lingjiang nodded: "Then I will rest, and in the second half of the night, I will keep vigil." ”
He Zheng answered, took a branch and stirred the fire, and the flame that was about to dim before suddenly lit up again.
In the past few days, they have all been divided into the upper and lower nights, taking turns to keep vigil and rest, and nothing has happened along the way.
He Lingjiang leaned against the mountain rock behind him, and soon fell asleep.
In the dimness, there seemed to be a sound of rustling, passing through the forest meadow and coming in this direction.
He Lingjiang frowned, opened his eyes, and suddenly met a pair of big eyes.
She suddenly had a thrill and came to her senses in an instant.
The eyes seemed a little upset when they saw her wake up, and the bridge of their bright red nose twitched violently.
He Ling Jiang turned over sharply to avoid it, closing the distance between himself and the object in front of him.
I saw the thing in front of me, with a long human face, a black body with hair, a ghostly face, and a particularly bright red nose bridge.
What's even more peculiar is that it has only one leg, and it still grows backwards.
It's a mandrill!
The mandrill is a monster in the mountains, born by absorbing the aura of the mountains and forests, and has always been hidden in the depths of the mountains and forests, hiding at night and by day. It can spit miasma from the mouth, causing paralysis and fainting.
If they meet people, mandrills will often tease them, and when they are exhausted, they will feed on them.
He Lingjiang looked in the direction of He Zheng and found that he had fallen asleep at some point, and there were two other mandrills around him, and they were about to lift him up.
Come to think of it, these mandrills should have taken advantage of the night to sneak around, and then spit out miasma and stunned He Zheng.
The repellent drugs that were sprinkled earlier were of little use against them.
If she hadn't woken up in time, the two of them would have been carried to the mandrill's cave and become their meal.
He Lingjiang took out a talisman and threw it in the direction of He Zheng.
The talisman exploded violently in the air, startling the two mandrills to scream and jump away.
He Lingjiang stepped forward with an arrow, pulled He Zheng over, and then pointed at the center of his eyebrows.
He Zheng, who had fallen asleep, suddenly felt a clear mind and woke up.
He was startled, and stared at He Lingjiang in front of him with wide eyes: "Seventh lady, are you okay?" ”
In the mountains and forests, the fog is deep, and it is not uncommon.
Where they were stationed, at night, there will also be fog.
However, who knows, the fog in the mountains and forests next to this side is different.
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, this ethereal mist took advantage of the mountain wind to blow around He Zheng.
He felt dizzy inexplicably, He Zheng suddenly felt bad, just wanted to open his mouth to call people, but he thought that the fog was very domineering, and he was dizzy like this.
"I'm fine." He Lingjiang shook his head, "But if you wake up later, I'm afraid you'll be bad." ”
He Zheng's face suddenly turned red, this time he was careless and accidentally landed.
He Lingjiang patted him on the shoulder: "This is a mandrill, a mountain spirit, and it can spit miasma." If you accidentally inhale it, you will fall into a coma in a light case, and in a severe case, you will be poisoned and lose your life. ”
"They are not ordinary mountain beasts, and if they hadn't just appeared, I wouldn't have been able to find them."
He Zheng nodded, it turned out to be a spirit, no wonder the means were so ignorant.
He looked towards the place where he had just fallen asleep, and the two mandrills were burned by the talisman thrown by He Lingjiang, and they screamed angrily.
As for the mandrill in another place, he was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that He Lingjiang was gone, he didn't say anything, and he also injured his companion, and he was even more angry.
Immediately, they pounced on He Lingjiang and the others.
He Zheng hurriedly raised his sword to block, but the mandrill did not dodge or dodge, and with a swing of the sword, his body was suddenly split in half.
He couldn't help but be stunned, just gone?
However, in an instant, the body of the mandrill that had been split in half immediately turned into two slightly smaller mandrills.
The two newly-grown mandrills, still with long human faces and long arms, and black hairy appearances, continued to pounce on him.
This thing is a spirit, it is a body, and it can be virtual or real.
Ordinary swords, it is difficult to hurt them, even if they are cut in half, it is just to make it take on an additional form.
If this continues, won't the number of mandrills become more and more?
He Zheng picked up the sword in his hand, and for a while he didn't know whether to cut it next or not.
"Why are you stunned?"
He Lingjiang walked around to him, blocked the mandrill's blow for him, and then with a wave of his sleeve, forced the mandrill back a few steps.
Immediately afterwards, she pinched the trick in her hand and condensed a talisman and imprinted it into He Zheng's sword: "Rest assured to cut it!" ”
He Zheng suddenly perked up, raised his sword and walked towards the mandrill again.
The mandrill had no scruples, but when He Zheng slashed it again and split it in half again, its form could not be condensed.
Shanxiao was suddenly in a hurry, so he had to borrow his ethereal figure to avoid He Zheng's attack.
This talisman has such a miraculous effect!
He Zheng's heart was excited, and he continued to attack the mandrill with his sword.
Even though the mandrill has an ethereal posture, He Zheng is also a good sword player, and after a few times, he was also slashed by his left sword and stabbed again.
Because of the talisman, the place where the mandrill was stabbed by the sword could not be condensed back for a while, and could only float in the air piece by piece, like the mist in the mountains.
In another place, the two mandrills besieging He Lingjiang were also forced by her to have no way, and when they opened their big mouths, they were about to spit out miasma and poisonous mist.
It's a pity that He Lingjiang has long been on guard, how can he be easily stunned now?
There was a seal on her hand, and a wind charm passed, and all those miasma and poisonous mist were swept away.
He Lingjiang raised his sword and chopped the mandrill into pieces, floating in the air, wandering around her, and asked the ruler in the bag: "Mandrill, do you eat?" ”
Qi Kuo lazily drilled out of the bag: "These mandrills, with only these few abilities, are really not as delicious as evil ghosts." ”
"However, now that the conditions are limited, I don't dislike it." With that, he opened his mouth and immediately swallowed the mandrills that originally wanted to escape into his belly.
