Chapter 18: Strike Again
When everyone saw Chen Yongchang rushing up alone to face the mandrill, they all raised their hearts to their throats, and Chen Ziwu tightened his hand tightly with his hand, and it hurt to scratch it.
Seeing that the mandrill's wooden stick was about to hit Chen Yongchang, everyone sank their hearts to the bottom, thinking that their Chen Matou was about to die here.
And the reversal was so sudden.
At the last moment, I saw a bright light like a bright moon flashing, and the mandrill flew out in an instant.
Under the moonlight, Chen Yongchang's back suddenly became tall in their eyes.
"Win!"
"We survived!"
"The boss is mighty!"
"Chen Matou is invincible!"
The mandrill was defeated and fled, and the remaining beasts naturally retreated.
The surviving crowd shouted to vent the pressure in their hearts.
Chen Yongchang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and tried hard to maintain his posture, he really wanted to turn around and show everyone an expression that was just like this, but unfortunately...
I can't do it.
Fang Cai's wooden stick was less than half a meter away from the top of his head, and he didn't feel anything at the time, but now that he thinks about it, he was afraid for a while, his legs were weak, and he finally managed to hold on and not fall.
"These stinky boys who shouted the loudest, don't come to help me, see how I clean you up next."
Li Jiuan saw that something was wrong, and motioned to Chen Ziwu, who was happily jumping around, to step forward and pick Chen Yongchang back.
After Chen Yongchang came back, he looked at the messy team with a calm face, and his heart was very heavy.
Compared with the time of departure, less than half of the people were still standing at this time, and almost all of them were wounded, which is enough to show how tragic the battle was in this short half hour.
"Pack up and set up camp."
At this time, they were not in a good state to continue their journey, the wounded needed to be treated, and the dead could not be exposed to the wilderness.
Chen Yongchang commanded everyone, his fingers unconsciously rubbing the cracks on the wood carving, and at the same time praying in his heart.
The mandrill probably won't come again.
......
At the same time, in the mountains and forests a few miles away from the camp, the mandrill fell to the ground, the wound on its chest was almost penetrated, and its body was covered with brown blood, that is, it was strong enough to persist in escaping here, but now it looked like it was also less inlet and more out.
"Useless stuff."
A black-robed man walked out of the shadows beside him, frowning at the mandrill that had fallen to the ground.
After a moment of silence, he took out a medicine bottle from his bosom, poured out a jet-black pill, and threw it on the mandrill's wound.
At the same time, his hands changed, and he spat out a curse, and a black gas shot from the black-robed man's changing hands to the mandrill.
Soon, the mandrill's wounds stopped bleeding and began to heal.
After the black-robed man finished performing the spell, although the mandrill had not fully recovered, it had already regained its consciousness and came to its senses.
"Either they die today or you die, understand?"
The black-robed man took a breath and said in a cold voice.
"Uh-huh. Ahaha..."
The mandrill blinked quickly at its one eye, muttering incessantly.
"I don't care if you're careless or not, I just want them to die!"
"Uh-ha."
......
The camp was quickly completed thanks to the efforts of everyone.
The cart circled around the outer city, and in the middle was the tent of the people, and all the mules and horses were led together to feed and rest, including the little green donkey of the Taoist.
At this time, except for a few people who kept vigil, the rest of the people had already entered the tents to rest.
"Stinky Taoist, you are good, who did you learn from?"
In this tent are Li Jiuan and Liu Fei's master and servant.
This Liu Fei is also big-hearted, others will only be afraid when they encounter such a dangerous situation, but she feels very excited, no, pestering Li Jiuan and asking questions.
"When I was a child, there was a monkey in the back mountain, and I learned from it."
Li Jiuan was meditating, and he didn't really want to deal with him, so he didn't have a score for speaking.
"Really, what is the name of that mountain, and the monkey is still there."
"That mountain is called Huaguo Mountain, and that monkey is called the Monkey King, and now it's gone."
"It's a pity, is it dead?"
"No, protecting a monk is on a business trip."
"Will it come back?"
"No ,..."
In this conversation, Li Jiuan gradually immersed himself in an ethereal.
Dots of Moonlight were guided into his body through the tent.
The aura in the body gradually recovered, then full, and then grew.
In the midst of this, Li Jiuan suddenly felt a call.
"Chen... The disciple is not filial, here..."
The sound came and went, and it wasn't very clear.
As time passed, an indescribable aura passed along the connection.
As he struggled to feel it, the connection was suddenly severed.
At the same time, a shout came from outside the door.
"Fuck it up."
......
Chen Yongchang put the wood carving in his hand on the stage, and an incense burner was placed under the wood carving.
Three incense sticks were lit in the incense burner.
At this time, he looked at the crack on the wood carving, and there were words in his mouth.
"Chen Yongchang, the eighth generation disciple of the Chen family, is not filial piety, destroyed the immortal immortal ancestral hall, and here to make amends, for the sake of the critical juncture, don't blame..."
I don't know if this wood carving is still useless if it is cracked, or go back and carve another one for the immortals.
Well, do you want to make amends for the immortals carving two golden boys and jade girls?
Or do you want to carve another Taoist aunt?
Chen Yongchang was sacrificing and making amends in his mouth, but he was thinking wildly in his head.
At that moment, the curtain of the tent was slammed open, and an eager voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Horsehead, something is wrong outside."
......
The moonlight was obscured by the clouds, and the entire camp was suddenly out of sight.
The few people who were keeping vigil in the car could not see the surrounding situation.
When the clouds are blown away by the wind and the moonlight shines again.
The night watchman found that they were surrounded.
It's not a man, it's not a beast, it's a circle of ghosts.
At this time, the moonlight no longer looks bright, but has a miserable feeling.
By the time Chen Yongchang came out, these powerful ghosts had already approached within a radius of 100 meters, and judging by the number, there were no less than 100.
"Are you going to die here?"
At this time, everyone looked at Chen Yongchang, expecting him to bring a miracle.
Chen Yongchang shook his head with difficulty in the face of everyone's eyes.
Suddenly, everyone's hearts were like ashes.
"Chen Matou, it's not that we don't help you, if you say it's a monster, we can fight it with all our might, but this ghost thing, I really can't beat it, otherwise, if you divide the money, you can run away separately?"
The people hired in the Quartet were the first to retreat.
They have consciously fought hard and fulfilled their obligations, and at this time, this mortal situation can escape one by one.
Even the people in the caravan were in a bit of a commotion.
"Do you think you can escape in this forest?"
