Chapter 978: The Chase
Zhan Tianhu moved his body to do chest expansion exercises, and said with a smile: "Boss, they don't give us to pick them ourselves, anyway, the Zerg have already checked, and there is no trace of the enemy nearby." β
Ouyang Feng hesitated for a moment, glanced at the entrance of the mine again, and saw that Qiuyi still hadn't come out, so he nodded and said, "I see this thing done, pick some fruit, and then pick some game by the way, at least fill your belly." Mu Da, Mu Er, are you going?"
Wei Canglan shrugged: "It's okay to be idle anyway, it's not bad to go out for a walk." β
Nangong Tian said with some concern: "What if we all leave, what will happen?"
Ouyang Feng and Wei Canglan glanced at each other, laughed and said, "Since you said so, then you can stay." With that, he strode down the wall.
Nangong Tian was also bored, just talking casually just now, seeing that Wei Canglan and Ouyang Feng and Zhan Tianhu were leaving, he hurriedly followed: "Wait for me, I'll go too." β
Refusing to be followed by the guards, Ouyang Feng and the four of them crossed the trade route and went straight to the opposite peak, the purpose of several people was clear, they planned to go to the cave on the top of the mountain before to take a look, and take back the horses and salutes left there, there was still a lot of dry food in it, enough for a few of them to have a full meal, besides, Ouyang Feng had more important things to do, that is, to quickly dig out the broken piece of Jiaolong, and he was always at ease when he buried it in the cave.
There was nothing to say all the way, although the Zerg had already checked, but the group of four still walked slowly and cautiously, and at the same time looked around to see if there was any game nearby, how to come out once. I also have to bring some delicious food back to those people from the Huafeng Chamber of Commerce.
Walked slowly for a long time. Ouyang Feng rested against a big tree. He said with a depressed face: "What's the matter, why haven't you even met a rabbit after walking for so long, something is wrong." β
Zhan Tianhu nodded and said: "Well, it's a bit weird, although I haven't been out for a few days, but even a broken mountain can find a lot of game, but there is not a single one here, not even a mushroom or anything." Boss, it's not going to be the people from the Centaur Alliance who have cleaned it up, right?"
Ouyang Feng nodded suddenly, shook his head again and said, "They are just so many people, and they have only been here for a day or two, so it is impossible to clean such a large place so cleanly." β
Wei Canglan thought for a moment, smiled faintly and said, "I guess it was those beasts who did it, didn't the Zerg spies say that they found a lot of beasts nearby." β
Ouyang Feng nodded: "Do these guys want to help or kill us, they eat all the things, and they don't say leave some for us." β
Speaking of this, Ouyang Feng remembered something. His face became a little ugly: "Do you think those beasts will find that cave?"
Nangong Tian nodded affirmatively and said, "If they are still nearby, they should be discovered." I guess our horses won't be able to keep it, alas. Obviously, Nangong Tian and the horses he rode all the way a few days ago already had a certain relationship, and the thought of the first horse that really belonged to him was eaten by the beasts, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Wei Canglan opened his mouth and said: "Let's go, let's go over and have a look, we have to rush back before dark, hurry up." β
The four of them set out on the road again, and when they came halfway up the mountain, they finally saw a living creature, but Ouyang Feng and the others did not shoot them with crossbow arrows, because what they found was a group of monkeys.
The group of monkeys sat on the bare pine trees, and when they saw Ouyang Feng and the others as if they had seen something terrible, they turned around and ran, jumping around the trees for a while and then disappeared.
Seeing this, Ouyang Feng naturally wouldn't let go of this good opportunity, and shouted to the others: "Follow these monkeys, maybe you can find fruit trees." β
Originally, Wei Canglan and Nangong Tian were still a little reluctant, but when they heard the fruit tree, they were already so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, and the four of them chased after them, and the monkeys fled from the trees in front of them, and from time to time they naughtily stopped and made a face at Ouyang Feng and the others, which looked a little nondescript, as if the monkeys were playing Ouyang Feng and them.
Chased all the way, I don't know how far they ran, anyway, the four of them were so tired that they couldn't run anymore, holding on to the big tree and panting, and the monkeys were also very tired, they also stopped, squatting on the branches of the tree one by one and squeaked at Ouyang Feng who was like a dead dog, and celebrated the victory of the human chase race with great power.
Ouyang Feng lowered his head, held on to the trunk of the tree and gasped for a while, and finally felt that his body had regained control, sat on the ground with his butt, looked at the monkeys on the tree and said viciously: "These monkeys, they are really fucking fast, you wait for me, wait for me to catch you, and tie you all up and give them to Qiuyi's second goods." β
Although Zhan Tianhu's serious injuries have not healed, his body, which has been nourished by fighting qi all year round, is much stronger than Ouyang Feng, but at this time, he is not lightly tired, his legs tremble and he moved to Ouyang Feng's side and sat down, rubbing his legs while grinning to check the wounds on his body that had collapsed due to intense exercise.
Wei Canglan and Nangong Tian are relatively better, at least the two of them can still stand up, but in the face of the malicious provocation of the monkeys, the two of them are helpless, they can only stare dryly. After resting for a while, Ouyang Feng raised his head and looked at the surrounding environment, and found that this period of dead running actually came to the side of the top of the mountain, and the group of monkeys should have rested a long time ago, but they didn't leave, just squatted in a row on the branches, and made various grimaces at Ouyang Feng and the others.
Ouyang Feng was very angry, and he wanted to pick up a stone and throw it over to beat a monkey to vent his anger, but thinking that those monkeys in the beast tide before were also injured countless for themselves, Ouyang Feng relented again, beckoned to one of the little monkeys and said, "Little don't come here, big brother, I'll give you candy to eat." β
Zhan Tianhu glanced at Ouyang Feng: "Boss, you're too naΓ―ve, don't we have crossbow arrows? β
Zhan Tianhu didn't see the beast tide with his own eyes, and later he only heard Ouyang Feng mention it slightly, and he didn't understand the tragedy of the day, let alone know the heroism and sacrifice of the monkeys in that battle.
Wei Canglan and Nangong Tian couldn't help frowning when they heard Zhan Tianhu's words, although they were unhappy in their hearts, they didn't say anything, but Ouyang Feng looked at Zhan Tianhu and said: "Tiger, I didn't tell you much about the beast tide, let's talk to you now, you also know that at that time, in order to save you, Jiaolong didn't know where to gather thousands of beasts to besiege the fire mine, do you know what was the biggest sacrifice at the front at that time?"
Zhan Tianhu was not stupid, he had already guessed from Ouyang Feng's expression and tone, looked at the monkey squatting on the tree and said, "It's a monkey?"
Ouyang Feng smiled and nodded: "Well, that's them, at that time, in order to capture the city wall, thousands of monkeys rushed to their deaths, and in just ten minutes, they lost at least more than half, look at these monkeys, are there very few adults among them?"
Being reminded by Ouyang Feng like this, Zhan Tianhu noticed that these monkeys were just like what Ouyang Feng said, only five or six of the twenty or so were slightly larger, and the rest were half-sized small monkeys, as well as two babies lying in the arms of the big monkeys.
Zhan Tianhu's face changed again and again, and his gaze at the monkey became gentle and kind: "I, Zhantian Tiger, swear that I will never kill a monkey again." β
Ouyang Feng smiled: "Don't say it so absolutely, what if you are besieged by monkeys one day? Zhan Tianhu smiled innocently, nodded vigorously in the head of the brain, whistled at the monkeys and winked his eyebrows, comparing who can be more ugly than the monkeys.
Seeing this scene, Wei Canglan and Nangong Tian were secretly amused, and the unhappiness in their hearts just now also disappeared, and they also had more understanding and recognition of Ouyang Feng and Ouyang Feng's so-called friends.
At this time, the monkeys seemed to be really resting, jumping up and down and leaving, when Ouyang Feng was hesitating whether to chase down, the monkeys who stayed behind the last break were very humane and squeaked at Ouyang Feng and the others, raised his right hand and pointed ahead.
Ouyang Feng scratched his head and said, "What do you mean, they're asking us to go over there?"
Wei Canglan's eyes lit up, and he felt that this monkey was really full of spirituality, and he unconsciously became curious, and followed without hesitation: "Let's go, go over and see what is over there." β
Nangong Tian cautiously reminded: "It's better to be careful, don't be overshadowed by this group of monkeys." β
Ouyang Feng and Zhan Tianhu stood up with each other's arms, and teased, "Mu Er, you won't even be afraid of monkeys, right?"
Nangong Tian glared at Ouyang Feng: "Be careful, it's not a big mistake, this group of monkeys is weird, who knows if there is any conspiracy." β
This time, Ouyang Feng and the four of them walked unhurriedly, and the monkeys in front of them seemed to know that they couldn't walk, so they slowed down and stopped walking, anyway, they kept a safe distance from Ouyang Feng and them.
After walking for about half an hour, Ouyang Feng and the others had already crossed the top of the mountain and came to the other end of the hillside, and when they arrived here, Ouyang Feng and the four of them were in a good mood, not because of anything else, but because a large number of wild fruit trees appeared in front of them, densely covering half of the mountain.
Ouyang Feng rushed to the bottom of a fruit tree, stretched out his hand to pick a fist-sized green and red fruit, and took a hard bite of the juice splashing, the sweet fragrance of his mouth made Ouyang Feng almost forget the fatigue of running around before, and nodded again and again: "Well, it's delicious, it's delicious, it's sweet enough, and it's also full of moisture." Mu Da, Mu Er, why didn't we find it when we passed by a few days ago. As he spoke, he took a big bite. (To be continued.) )
