Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Ghost-Faced Monkey

The thick-skinned lizard followed Kane like a dog, and at first Kane wondered if he was taking him as a prey and was looking for an opportunity to attack him. Kane grabbed the stone and threw it at it, and the lizard suddenly became so clever that it hid as soon as it saw the stone, and the way it shrank its head and head it looked like it was a waste.

When Kane saw it like this, he simply let it follow him. The Grand Canyon is filled with ores and precious crystals. Kane couldn't name the ores and crystals, and he regretted that he hadn't taken a good look at the book on the identification of mineral deposits last time in Rand, which contained almost all of the minerals that had been discovered.

Although he didn't know the names of these ores, and he didn't know their value for the time being, Kane could feel that the value of these ores was definitely not low, and it was easiest to find treasures and make a fortune in such an inaccessible ghost place. He picked among the clusters of blue crystals and picked the ones that were of good color, and he struck them with a steel sword for a long time before he finally knocked down a broken crystal. They were harder than he expected, much harder than his iron ore in Rand.

These crystals should be good materials for weapons and armor. In addition to the blue crystals, he also found many golden stones with spiral patterns, which were very beautiful, and the crystalline gold stones were pulled out of the inner fibers. Kane smashed the hilt of his sword hard at the base of the stone, but he couldn't break him for a long time. So he chose another method, he cut through the layer of sand and gravel on the ground.

He wanted to dig out this golden stone by roots, but he tried hard for a long time but did not succeed, this golden stone seemed to grow from the depths of the earth, and he couldn't dig it no matter how he dug it.

So Kane slashed the exposed part of the golden stone with his sword, and the steel sword slashed at it like chopping wood, and the loud sound of the golden stone bounced and reverberated throughout the canyon for a long time. Kane didn't dare to slash a second sword, the movement would be too loud to attract the attention of unknown creatures, and he had to be careful, or he would run into those annoying-headed monsters again.

After working for a long time to no avail, Kane reluctantly let go of this rare unknown treasure. He could only target the less hard deposits. Kane alone carefully tapped them, slowly knocking them down.

Suddenly, there was a chewing "squeak" behind him, and he looked back behind him. The lizard was biting off a piece of gold and chewing it in its mouth. The guy looked at Kane as he chewed, and his eyes looked silly. Kane suddenly had the idea to use this stupid lizard to help him mine.

He tried to say to the lizard in a consultative tone: "Hey, little lizard, I have an idea, you can help me bite off all these mines, and I'll take you to eat something delicious when I'm done, what do you think?" ”

The lizard purred.

"Agreed?"

"Gollum."

"Very well, then I'll take you as you agree." Kane didn't know if the stupid lizard understood him, so he took those two grunts as if he agreed. He slowly leaned forward to pick up the crushed ore he had dropped on the ground, Kane was careful, he was very jealous of the guy's steel teeth, even the steel sword kept chopping the gold stone in its mouth like jelly beans, crunchy to chew.

If he messed with it, maybe the steel teeth would have bitten into his ass, and if he did, it would be as easy as a hot knife cutting through butter.

The lizard showed no signs of making a move on Kane or blowing it up, and it probably really understood what Kane was saying. He packed the gold and stone into a bag, which was full, and there was no storage space in it. If he knew that there were so many rare treasures here, he would really change to a larger space equipment and search this place.

A shrill roar broke the joy of the two treasure diggers, and one by one black-haired, pale creatures with red ghost stripes appeared above the canyon, like monkeys, holding a black spear in their hands.

The sturdy monkey led by his people stood in a row and looked down on the canyon.

The leader shouted, and his voice echoed from below the canyon. The lizard suddenly pricked up its ears and raised its head to look up, and Kane saw a dozen monkeys standing above, all of them menacing and unkind.

The lizard grunted in its throat, then ran away, leaving only a cloud of smoke and a bewildered Kane in place. "I'll go!" When things weren't good, Kane ran away. The monkeys above were not in a hurry to catch up, they stood still and watched their fleeing backs.

Soon, the lizard was running back desperately, the ground was shaking, and it felt like something big was coming from the other side. The lizard's purr was so quick and shrill that Kane wondered if it was the guy who had a hoarse voice.

"Hey, hey, hey, why did you run back!" The lizard's rampage unnerves Kane. It didn't wait for Kane to speak, and flew directly over his head. With no lizards blocking his view, he finally knew why the guy had turned back again.

A horde of bull-like creatures with huge horns on their foreheads rushed like siege engines to their narrow canyon, and if they encountered these big creatures here, they would surely be crushed into pulp. And it didn't seem that simple, as there was a wave of monkey-like creatures on the canyon, throwing their spears at the galloping herd.

The cattle were driven by their spears, and if you look at it this way, the monkeys you saw earlier should be with them, they are hunting. The good news is that the prey is not theirs, and the bad news is that their prey will crush him into a pulp.

"Damn! Won't hunting find a good place on your own! Kane ran away.

The large herd of cattle huddled together at the mouth of the canyon, the entrance was too narrow, and they were too large. If one of them comes in, it's barely possible, but if two or more want to come in together, it won't work. By this time there had been a stampede at the entrance, and the cattle were frothing at the mouth and their eyes were white. At last, they rushed in, first one, then two, then three, and more and more bighorns rushed into the narrow gap.

Kane used the terrain to jump forward, and the crystals that grew in the middle of the road helped him slow down the herd. The timid lizard was blocked by the crystal, and it needed to bite off the crystal with its steel teeth to get through.

Kane quickly caught up with it, and with a force at his feet, he jumped high and jumped over the lizard's head with one foot. But before he could be pleased, the monkey above threw spears at him. Luckily, Kane was half a step slower, or the spear stuck in the rock in front of him would have stabbed him in the throat. He met the leader's fierce eyes, the pattern on his face that Kane recognized their race.

These guys are all long-extinct creatures recorded in ancient books - ghost-faced monkeys. They usually live in the forest, but here is surrounded by desert, so it shouldn't be in line with their habits. But if it appears here, it probably means that there may be a jungle nearby, so he has a chance to find that forest.

Another spear fell, but the target was not the forehead, but the lizard behind him. The spear landed on the lizard and was not as fleshy as it had been, its rough leather armor blocked the damage, and the tip of the wooden spear was mercilessly broken. Even though it didn't do any damage, the lizard kept yelling as if the thing had caused it a lot of damage.

What's even more ridiculous is that the lizard's loud cry is very pitiful, but it also runs faster, biting off the crystal barrier in front of it in one bite.

"Roar!! The leader of the Ghost-faced Monkey was missed twice in succession, presumably feeling very embarrassed, and he waved his hand and ordered his people to throw spears at Kane and them.

The leader, the Ghost-faced Monkey, was not idle, using his long, powerful arms to climb steep, near-vertical craggy rock faces. He can swing from one stone wall to another in one swing.

He was followed by several sturdy tribes, who followed the leader's trail. Some of the ghost-faced monkeys touched the loose stones, and their hands shook, and they almost fell off the cliff 100 meters high into mud, but fortunately, their companions caught him quickly.

The lizard quickly caught up with Kane again, pushing Kane with its head, urging him to run faster, and the brute force behind him would soon catch up. It almost didn't push Kane away. was so angry that Kane scolded.

"What are you doing! You stupid lizard! Don't push it, we'll all have to die here later! ”

The lizard didn't care about Kane's words, it just purred and anyone could hear it was throwing a tantrum. Kane walked too slowly, it couldn't help it, and directly pushed Kane with its head. Kane was lifted into the air by it, and then landed firmly on its back. The lizard runs as fast as the wind.

It left the herd far behind, and the ghost-faced monkeys chased after them, and they grabbed stones from the rock wall and threw them at them, which did not do any harm. A man and a lizard left the ugly monkeys behind, and Kane made a disdainful gesture to the leader. Now Kane really him off, so angry that his hair stood on end.

"Roar!!" His voice was amplified by dozens of decibels in the canyon like a megaphone, and the loose rocks on the rock wall were shaken off. They leapt out of the cliff with their arms and ran towards the end of the canyon.

"It's over, it looks like I'm off that ugly guy, isn't it?" Kane asked. The lizard purred in response, and it looked like they were in serious trouble this time.

A bright light appeared in front of them, and they were about to run out of the narrow canyon gap, but the group of bighorns behind them still refused to give up their escape, and fought the crystal barrier and the ghost-faced monkey hunters in the canyon in a life-and-death battle.

The lizards led Kane out of the canyon, and there was a plain outside, and the grass on the ground was dark purple, and they had just sprouted a little tip of grass, and spread it on the ground like a blanket. Kane flipped off the lizard's back, and he thanked the lizard. The lizard purred in response, leaning down to signal Kane to get on its back again, it wasn't safe here, they had to go to a safer place, the roar of the ghost-faced monkey was getting closer.
