Chapter Ninety-Six: The Mandrill (Part II)
Yu Xiu heard the roar and immediately stared at it.
A black-haired monster appeared in front of the person, standing on two limbs with slender arms, and as soon as it rushed out, it tore apart several people who stood in front of him, including mountain bandits and dart masters.
Blood splattered out and fell to the ground, also sprinkling the black-haired monster, which made the scene suddenly bloody and smelly, and also made the black-haired monster even more terrifying.
The gurgling sound suddenly sounded, and the black-haired monster bowed down, grabbed the organs in the torn human body, and devoured it on the field, treating the people present as if they were nothing.
The mountain bandits, who were still ruthless and ferocious before, suddenly all fell to the ground like children, their bodies trembling constantly, and they shouted: "The Eight Kings are here!" and "The Eight Kings are good!"
When the darts in the convoy saw this scene, they looked at it in a daze, and they were also stunned for a while. A man next to him suddenly lost his voice and shouted, "Mandrill!"
When Yu Xiu heard the word "mandrill", he squinted and looked closely, and found that the black-haired monster had fangs on its mouth, its cheeks were white on both sides, its eyes were red, and its whole face looked like it was wearing a grimace mask, and its behavior of devouring organs was like that of an ape and a monkey, and there was no tail behind him, nearly one and a half people tall.
Yu Xiu immediately remembered that the "mandrill" was recorded in "Strange Tales from the Grass Hall":
Mandrills, mountain spirits, great apes, running like the wind, fond of eating organs, and good at prostitution. When mortals see it, they think it is a mountain god.
More than a dozen dart masters stood in front of the mandrill, like children, looking up, their bodies trembling, and the knives in their hands were unstable.
Only the old dart head came back to his senses, his face was full of anger, and he shouted fiercely: "It doesn't matter if he is a mandrill or not, a mountain spirit, dare to eat people!" He picked up the iron spear and immediately stepped forward to fight against the black-haired monster that devoured the organs.
But a dart master pounced, hugged the dart, and shouted, "Don't dart." ”
"It is rumored that this mandrill eats people and leaves, and must not come forward and be treated as blood food. Let it eat the bandits!"
When the old dart head heard this, he found that the ghost-faced mandrill was really just standing in the middle of the field, and was using his fingers to dig out the intestines of the dead man's belly, and devoured it in small bites, with a pleasant complexion, and did not glance at others at all, nor did he kill another living person.
There were three dead people in the field, although there was a dart master, but the other two were mountain bandits, and it was not unacceptable if the other party left on their own after devouring it.
Calming down, Dart Head suddenly remembered the rumors in the market, and his heart trembled.
"I heard that this road has not been peaceful recently, and it is suspected that there are spirits and fierce beasts, and many good hands have been killed. But the women who passed by were all taken away without exception, more like the work of bandits......"
He looked at the black-haired mandrill and thought of the dozen or so people in the dart team, and his face was suddenly extremely embarrassed.
"This kind of spirit may only be dealt with by a warrior in the army. Calming down, the old dart head pinched the spear, waved at the people behind him, and told everyone to slowly retreat.
In this way, a dozen dart masters slowly retreated to the vicinity of several carriages in the convoy, and watched nervously at the mandrills on the field. Yu Xiu was regarded as a woman and a child, and was also protected by them in the ranks.
As if they were frightened, the bandits lay on the ground and did not move, but only bowed and bowed, and shouted, "Eight kings, eight kings!"
For a while, the people in the convoy talked carefully: "I heard that mandrills don't eat the elderly, so they choose the strong ones to eat." ”
"There are old and young people in our dart team, unlike that group of bandits, all of whom are strong men, and the distance is far away, so Xu is mandrill can't look down on them. ”......
Everyone waited in fear, seeing the mandrill devouring human flesh by itself, only hoping that it could leave after it was full, even if it was not full, it was just to catch a few mountain bandits nearby and devour, don't come over to find trouble with the big guy.
Yu Xiu stood in the middle of the scene, watching carefully, and was not in a hurry to make a move.
When the mandrill rushed out just now, it tore three people in the blink of an eye, and its movements were quite fast, and it stopped before Yu Xiu could see its skills clearly.
Because he didn't know what the strength of the mandrill was, he thought to himself: "Let's take a look." If the spirit leaves, it will not be impossible. ”
Yu Xiu squinted, but he didn't see a pillar of blood and smoke on the top of the mandrill's head, and he didn't know if the other party was hiding it, or if it was different from ordinary martial artists.
The surrounding dart masters were still talking carefully, soothing the panic in their hearts.
One of them said, "I have heard a story about mandrills who are promiscuous and fond of playing with women. He muttered again: "I heard that even girls are not spared, and I don't know if it's true or not......
When the old dart head heard this, his face suddenly changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Quickly protect the carriage, and let the lady not come down." ”
At this time, the carriage also rattled, and the curtain was covered by someone, and the people in the carriage should have heard the conversation.
At this moment, the mandrill finished devouring the organs on its hands, its scarlet eyes scanned the ground, and then pulled out the three dead bodies, but it took out several times, only blood flowed from between its five fingers, and nothing came out.
Apparently, the three corpses were empty in their bellies, and their organs had been devoured by the mandrills.
Everyone became nervous and looked at the mandrill, expecting it to leave. But the mandrill stood up, swept over the heads of the mountain bandits kneeling beside him, and then turned his gaze to the convoy.
It looked at the crowd, a cruel and teasing look flashed in its eyes, and immediately strode towards the convoy. Bang! The mandrill sank and stepped on the ground, making a thumping sound.
At this time, one by one, the mountain bandits shouted: "The Eight Kings have a good appetite!", "Are the Eight Kings full?!"
They raised their eyes to look at the mandrill, and when they saw that the mandrill had really walked towards the convoy, they immediately got up from the ground one by one, held the weapon in their hands, and looked at everyone with cruelty and eagerness in their eyes.
"The Eight Kings killed them!" a group of mountain bandits shouted in their mouths, learning to be mandrills and roaring fiercely, frightening the faces of the convoy and the group.
"This group of talents! This mandrill ......" Seeing this, the old dart head came to his senses, and was so angry that he couldn't speak. The other darts also turned pale, and they thought in their hearts: "Is this mandrill and the bandit in the same group?"
Yu Xiu saw it, his eyes were also slightly stunned, he thought that the mandrill was just attracted by the smell of blood, but combined with the scene on the field, maybe it was led by the bandits themselves, and it was even possible that the mandrill was supported by the bandits.
As for the mandrill that tore up the two bandits as soon as it appeared, Xu was in its opinion, the bandits were just meat dogs under it, which could eat and hunt.
It has been a long time since the mandrill appeared, and many dart masters have seen the mandrill devour the internal organs of the three people, and the blood in their hearts has completely cooled. And they didn't sleep in the middle of the night, all of them were sleepy, and when they saw the mandrill coming, they were so frightened that they kept retreating, and the formation was directly broken.
Twenty or thirty paces away, the mandrill strode over, and he was about to rush to the convoy.
The old dart head gritted his teeth and shouted: "Pickled spirits!" He carried an iron spear, aimed at the mandrill, and drank: "Copy the guy!" But the dart master behind him was panicked one by one, and no one immediately responded.
Seeing the old darthead roaring, the mandrill's eyes flashed with interest, and its scarlet eyes swept towards the darthead's back, which frightened the dart masters' legs weak.
"No, don't come here!" no dart master dared to step forward.
Suddenly, the mandrill's nostrils opened and closed, its eyes widened, it sniffed, and stared at the carriage towards the center of the convoy, its mouth open, and its face grim with joy.
A long whip rose up between its spans, as if a tail had grown.
"Ho ho ho!" the mandrill roared, ecstatic, and immediately rushed towards the convoy......
