Chapter 64: The Grimace Ape
I saw a strange-looking brown-haired ape sitting on the top of a nearby treetop.
This ape has a black and white flower face, and it is grinning at Zong Xian, and it looks like it is covered with a ghost face.
Its eyes shone fiercely, its jaws bulged out, and two hideous canine teeth pressed against its upper lip.
It's about the same size as a chimpanzee, but it looks more vicious, not to mention that the half-eaten wolf's head was dropped by this thing.
Being able to fight a mountain wolf is enough to prove that this ghost thing is not an ordinary ape.
"Twitter!"
The ghost-faced ape climbed the vine with one clawed hairy hand and scratched its neck with the other, and it howled incessantly, looking manic.
Seeing this, Zong Xian kept his left hand on guard, and his right hand took out a poisonous thorn needle from the soft braided belt, and the piggyback belt held a few steel balls between his fingers.
He didn't have the patience to continue to confront this monkey, knowing that most of the apes lived in groups, and any further delay might attract more grimace apes.
Spotting a grimace in the blink of an eye, he shook his hand abruptly.
Three steel balls and a poisonous thorn needle shot out one after another, sealing the possible trajectory of the ghost-faced ape.
"Tsk!"
Monkeys are known for their cleverness and vigor, and after Zong Xian threw the hidden weapon, the apes immediately swung vines and wanted to leave, but they were first hit in the head by a steel ball, and their skin suddenly opened.
"Boom!"
Then the second steel ball broke the vine, and the third steel ball went slightly off, hitting the tree behind the ape, and directly embedded in it, bursting a lot of sawdust wood juice.
After the vine broke, the ghost-faced ape's body sank, and at this time, the poisonous thorn needle hit its chest with precision.
But seeing the ape land on the treetops in the lower half, stretching out his hand to touch his chest, and then fleeing to the north of the mountain forest in a hurry, it can be clearly seen that its body is a little staggering, no longer as vigorous as just now, but it was not immediately poisoned, indicating that its ability to resist poison is much stronger than that of humans.
At the beginning, Zong Xian used poisonous thorns to target Ma Shuijun, the deputy gang leader of the Sanshui Gang who was at the peak of Fu Qi and Blood Realm, and after the other party was hit, he fell to the ground with just a face, and this grimace ape still had the strength to escape.
He immediately chased after him, with a vigorous pace, jumping up and climbing from time to time, grasping the treetops and vines to leap with his strength.
After chasing the north mountain for a distance of about 100 meters, the ghost-faced ape finally lost its support and fell from the tree.
Zong Xian stretched out his hand to pinch its neck, and seeing that it still had breath, it was a knife aimed at the neck!
They were neatly slaughtered before being brought back to the cabin.
He hadn't forgotten the short black-robed man's advice yesterday, Beishan must be at peace, maybe there was something more terrifying about the beast or brute.
As the saying goes, if you don't have anything to do, you don't have to join in the fun, and Zong Xian thinks so.
Moreover, the ghost-faced ape also fled towards the North Mountain, indicating that that direction was its old nest.
For this kind of fierce ape that can hunt mountain wolves, he is still sure to deal with it in the face of three or five heads, but if there are more of them, he is afraid that he will turn into ape dung.
Carrying the corpse of the grimace ape, Zong Xian returned to the cabin.
This ghost thing is more ferocious than the average beast ape, and the blood contains a small amount of qi and blood, and the content is far less than that of the four-eyed brute bull, but it should also be regarded as stepping into the category of brute beasts.
At least ordinary people can't escape the fate of turning into ape dung in the face of grimaces when they are unarmed.
In terms of individual strength, this grimace is not weak.
Of course, it would be different if it were to face an ordinary person who was heavily armed and armed with a military heavy crossbow ordnance.
The Great Jin Kingdom had relatively loose control over weapons and armor, and only strong crossbows were contraband.
The reason is also very simple, a strong crossbow is easier to use than a strong bow, a good archer needs to go through a long period of training, and the more powerful the bow, the greater the demand for the strength of the bower.
The crossbow is different, firing and aiming are much simpler, and the winding can also be done in the way of waist bracket and stepping, which is not the same difficulty in getting started.
Hundreds of crossbowmen shot synchronously with strong crossbows, and even ordinary martial artists couldn't bear it.
The strength can block ten or hundreds of crossbow arrows, but it is difficult to block the accumulation of hundreds of crossbow arrows, and the release of its own strength is also a kind of consumption.
These are all things that Zong Xian had heard from Master Qi before.
Compared with physical arts, weapons occupy a real mainstream position in martial arts.
Including the martial arts of the family, there are also corresponding weapons of practice.
The weapons corresponding to the long fist of the mountain are large and small dragon sticks, similar to flail in shape and structure, one end is thin and short, the other is long and thick, and it can hit the horse's feet, armor-piercing soldiers or hard weapons in the hands of the enemy when swinged.
The stick method is the fist method, and the two have the meaning of intercommunication, and they can be reborn and transformed into each other.
In fact, most of the martial arts are not purely hand-handed, and there are weapons that involve the relevant moves and routines.
It's just that it's not easy to get a good weapon, and the magic weapon is often rare, and it is better to cultivate the flesh than to cultivate the body, at least boxing is more powerful in various freehand martial arts kung fu.
In addition, the "Xingyi Fist Sutra" obtained by Zong Shen also has a choice of corresponding weapons.
For example, "taking off the gun is a fist", which means that the gun technique reflects the boxing technique, which corresponds to the shape of the big gun!
And the spear technique can be turned into a stick method, so there is also a shape of Jiuzhou stick, five elements stick.
It also derives the five-element knife method and the six-combination knife method with the potential of five elements and six combinations.
This also highlights the gap between complete martial arts and incomplete martial arts.
However, Zong Xian is not in a hurry, as long as his kung fu is proficient enough, he can quickly master the moves of the big and small dragon sticks at any time, after all, the two are interconnected.
His mind raced as he returned to the cabin and dissected the ghost-faced ape in his hand.
Because of the poisoned needles, the meat is not edible, maybe high-temperature cooking can break down the toxins, but he doesn't want to bother to deal with it, the ape looks too bumpy, and too human-like.
The sharp blade cut through the fur of the ghost-faced ape, and Zong Xian disemboweled it.
His knowledge of brute beasts is relatively scarce, and he can be regarded as a loss of unculture.
But it doesn't matter, the culture is not enough, the anatomy is to make up.
……
After about a meal, Zong Xian dismembered the ghost-faced ape.
The blood soaked on the ground of the wooden beam had dried up, and he carried a dark red sac as small as a red date in his hand.
The sac was located in the space between the heart and lungs of the ghost-faced ape, and even when the corpse was cold, it still exuded warmth.
Zong Xian could also feel a very pure qi and blood from it.
Martial artists who have achieved physical training can feel the existence of qi and blood through close touch.
His intuition told him that this sac should be the essence of the ghost-faced ape's body, and it was not contaminated with toxins, otherwise it would be like its flesh and blood, mixed with the gray color belonging to the black water toad toxin.
The tonic effect of brute beasts on warriors is eaten nine out of nine.
The most common thing is to eat meat, and there are more ways like the way he drank the blood of the bull's heart before.
But he still didn't dare to take it lightly at the moment.
After thinking for a moment, he walked out of the house and came to the mountain stream, ready to test it briefly!
