Chapter 536: Family
"No. 33!" Chen Yiyi shouted from behind.
No. 33 was running and slapping the dust on his body in order to re-enter the stealth state, Wen Yan looked back, his pace slowed down, but he did not stop.
"You're not wearing infrared goggles, so you're still behind me!"
In order to say this, Chen Yiyi had to take the initiative to break the stealth state and show her figure.
From the moment she rushed out of the courtyard of the village committee, No. 33 ran wildly, leaving Chen Yiyi behind, she was very annoyed by her previous mistakes, eager to wash away the shame, eager to chase after the hidden monkey's lair and kill, she had already hated this ferocious and cunning creature to the core.
However, she was wearing a ninja costume and was not wearing infrared mirrors, Chen Yiyi looked at the silhouette in front of her that was shrouded in dust and ran faster and faster, and couldn't help but worry about her, now she is neither stealth nor wearing infrared mirrors, what if other hidden monkeys in ambush suddenly attack?
Blown by the wind, the restless blood of No. 33 slowly calmed down, she reflected on her performance today, in addition to many unexpected objective reasons, from the moment she jumped on the wall, her psychology has been in a predicament, the more eager to reverse the decline, the greater the decline, just like the more gamblers want to turn the tables, the more they will lose money, if today's luck is too bad, take advantage of the full loss, it is the wisest choice to cut the meat in time to stop the loss and leave the market.
"Good. She nodded unwillingly but helplessly, and stopped to let Chen Yiyi run ahead.
If she could stare intently at Chen Yiyi's back, Chen Yiyi would not have become invisible to her, but she still had to observe the surrounding movements and the surrounding terrain, and after a slight shift of attention, she could no longer see Chen Yiyi in front of her.
No. 33 reflected on herself, probably after acting with No. 15, she subconsciously developed a competitive mentality, she wanted to prove that she was no worse than No. 15, especially in the crusade against the Hidden Monkey, No. 15's snap of his fingers was ineffective against the Hidden Monkey, and it was the time for her to show off her body, so she seemed impatient and impulsive.
She had to admit that No. 15 was much calmer than her, even when she was besieged by more than a dozen people in the depression, No. 15 was still extremely calm, and even almost turned over, just a little bit of luck, if it wasn't for the "passage" suddenly appearing in the depression, even if Jiang Chanji rescued the extremely weak sect master, what could she do?
Thinking of this, she was even more annoyed, why are people so calm when they are about the same age? How did they train such calmness? Innate? Or are they accustomed to being trained by having many enemies?
She was a little distracted, Chen Yiyi appeared in front again, and she almost didn't brake and bumped into Chen Yiyi.
"I can't find a trace. Chen Yiyi half-squatted on the ground, her eyes scanning the ground.
Just now they tracked quite smoothly, the arms of the hidden monkey were cut off and a large amount of blood was lost, and the blood stains extended all the way, and slowly the blood flow slowed down, plus the hidden monkey can jump far away, and it is more and more difficult to find the bloodstains, and now it is completely impossible to find it.
They had already chased into the forest, they didn't know which direction to continue the pursuit, and it was not feasible to go their separate ways, and the infrared mirrors could not see through the leaves and trunks, and it was entirely possible for the hidden monkeys to hide on the branches and wait for an opportunity to sneak attack.
"I went up the trees to see the terrain nearby. After the 33rd finished speaking, he jumped to a nearby tree and jumped as high as possible along the horizontal branch.
After a while, she jumped down, pointed in a certain direction, and said, "There seems to be some man-made structure in the forest over there, do you want to go over and take a look?"
"Which side?" Chen Yiyi asked.
Only then did No. 33 remember that he was also invisible, and Chen Yiyi couldn't see the direction he was pointing, so he picked up a branch and gestured.
"Okay, I'll go first. Chen Yiyi was the first to turn over there, and because the situation was unknown, she didn't dare to run, just in case.
No. 33 followed a few steps behind.
Coming to the vicinity of the man-made building, they once again saw streaks of blood on the ground, and there were still fresh trails of dragging.
This building ...... It seems to be a clan ancestral hall, and in remote villages like the one just now, most of the village is often the same surname, and it is not uncommon to establish ancestral halls for deceased ancestors.
The ancestral hall is very magnificent, the scale is not small, there are even three courtyards, the area is no less than the village committee just now, it has been abandoned for so many years and is not very dilapidated, and the overall structure is still intact - many places have such old-fashioned customs that make people laugh and cry, being stingy with the living and willing to spend money on the dead.
It is conceivable that before the village was relocated as a whole, the villagers would come to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors under the leadership of clan elders during important lunar festivals.
The ancestral hall has a main entrance and a side door, and the main gate is closed and there is a rusty big copper lock, which should be locked before the villagers leave, but the side door is open with a crack, and the traces of blood and drag disappear in the side door.
No. 33 didn't dare to jump in from the wall again, she was not familiar with the structure of the ancestral hall here, and she didn't want to run into any moths again.
"I'll go in first, you wait a few seconds to catch up. Chen Yiyi appeared and said.
"Be careful. No. 33 looked at the inside of the ancestral hall with a black rumbling bang, and his heart was a little stunned.
"It's okay, there's this. Chen Yiyi knocked on the infrared mirror, even if the hidden monkey was wearing clothes, it would not wrap up the body, and the heat leaked would still leak.
No. 33 stared at Chen Yiyi, saw her peeping at the side door a few times, and went in in a flash.
A few seconds later, No. 33 also entered the courtyard of the ancestral hall.
The yard is paved with green bricks, there are not many weeds, the first to enter the center of the courtyard is placed a copper tripod, the green bricks next to the copper tripod are lifted up, it may be that the villagers want to take the copper tripod with them when they leave? Or do you want to steal the copper tripod and sell it as scrap iron after everyone is gone?
There are some murals around, depicting the ancestors of the villagers, all of them with high crowns and graceful demeanors, No. 33 can't help but wonder if the hidden monkey learned to wear clothes from these murals, and then turned out the old clothes that the villagers didn't take with them when they left in the deserted village?
The blood stains extended into the room of the ancestral hall, and some strange sounds could be faintly heard, probably because the injured hidden monkey was in pain.
No. 33 didn't dare to enter the black hole outside, Chen Yiyi quietly walked to the window, pushed open the window slightly and looked inside, but unexpectedly saw nothing, there was no heat source inside.
"Safe. Chen Yiyi appeared and pointed to the front, "It may still be behind." ”
The two of them walked all the way to the third courtyard, the last row of houses was still empty, but the sound did come from this house.
At this moment, the sound of dog barking and footsteps sounded behind him, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Ouyang Caiyue who was chasing after the dog.
Chen Yiyi showed up to explain the situation to Ouyang Caiyue to see what her opinion was.
Ouyang Caiyue took out a few glow sticks from the many pockets of her clothes, folded them and threw them into the last row of houses.
"What's the southeast corner? It's like a ...... Hole?" said Number 33.
Ouyang Caiyue also saw it, "It may be a cellar, that monkey must have escaped into it...... It may not be wise to chase it in, and I would say that it is better to smoke it out with smoke and the other monkeys that may exist, but I don't know if the one who led the dog is still alive, and whether she will be smoked to death with her. ”
"I'll go in and have a look. Chen Yiyi volunteered.
"Be careful, judging from the process of the battle just now, they must have some way of sensing the existence of the transcendental, so they immediately found the real target in the first flutter of the phantom in the air, and your stealth does not negate this perception, only weakens its sensitivity. Ouyang Caiyue reminded.
"I knew that the situation was not right, so I immediately retreated. Chen Yiyi still insisted.
"Take this. Ouyang Caiyue handed over two pine cones.
Chen Yiyi was stunned, she wouldn't make this thing, what was she doing with it?
"Put it on the main path when you go down, and shout if you are chased by a monkey when you retreat, and I will detonate it as soon as I hear it - be careful, at least four or five meters away from the pine cone, otherwise I don't guarantee that it won't blow you up." Ouyang Caiyue said.
"Good. Chen Yiyi nodded, put the pine cone in her pocket, asked for another glow stick, walked to the entrance of the cave and looked at it, and dodged in.
The entrance to the cave is not too short, and the cat can enter it relatively smoothly with his waist bent.
This cellar may have been built a long time ago, about the same age as the village itself, to store valuables and to keep the people safe from trouble in times of war, and it was not small, but it was found by a hidden monkey and the dove occupied the magpie's nest.
Chen Yiyi had the experience of entering a bat cave before, in contrast, the floor of the cellar was at least relatively flat, and there was no foul-smelling bat droppings, so she could straighten up after entering.
In front was a not-so-long corridor, with unlit oil lamps stuck in the walls at intervals, a place where electricity was obviously impossible, and there was no generator.
She walks very carefully, always checking that there is no heat source in front of her through an infrared mirror, and then throwing a glow stick to illuminate it, which can be said to be step by step.
The anguished monkey's cry of pain and anger became more and more apparent.
At the end of the corridor, in front of it is a more spacious hall, the main part of the cellar.
She didn't dare to throw the glowstick again, held her breath, and quickly peeked inside.
There are four heat source outlines in the infrared mirror, two lying horizontally, two half-squatting and half-standing like hidden monkeys, and one of them lying horizontally has a lower temperature, which seems to be the tall fierce dog, whose body temperature has been cold.
No, wait! It's six heat sources! There is a hermit monkey holding two small hermit monkeys, probably young from birth.
The relationship between these five hidden monkeys should be a family, including the mother, two older sisters, and two young sisters, and when the two sisters mature, they can become mothers again......
The tall dog has been dismembered, and the mother who was raising two cubs not long ago is probably enjoying a good meal.
Chen Yiyi saw that the heat source lying on the side seemed to move, it was probably the transcendent person who led the dog, she was not dead, the hidden monkey dragged her back intact, probably after the mother was full, the two sisters would eat again, so she was lucky to save her life, not dead but definitely injured.
If you don't think about saving people, the safest countermeasure should be to throw the pine cone in it and beckon Ouyang Caiyue to detonate it, but the current situation does not apply, and these two cubs may be a good opportunity for 15 to learn about their auditory system.
After thinking about it, she decided to take the risk of changing her strategy, took out two pine cones, and rolled them into it with a lighter force, one left and one right.
The sound of the pinecone rolling immediately attracted the attention of the two hidden monkeys, and at the same time, Chen Yiyi retracted his head, closed his eyes and screamed, "Detonate!"
Before the words were spoken, the two pine cones burst into a snowy light in the almost absolute darkness of the cellar, and the thermite that burned in the heat of three thousand degrees was like two rounds of the sun rising.
Chen Yiyi remembered that Zixuan said that animals like the hidden monkey, whose whole body can be transparent except for the retina, must be afraid of strong light, and even other animals will be blind in this situation.
The two hidden monkeys were also screaming, and Chen Yiyi opened her eyes and rushed into the hall of the cellar.
The bursting pine cone scales were still burning, and by this light, Chen Yiyi saw that the hidden monkey holding the young monkey had thrown away the cub, covering his eyes in pain, and the hidden monkey who had lost both arms was even more painfully pounding the wall with his head.
Chen Yiyi gritted his teeth, rushed over and dragged the transcendent person back.
Exiting the hall and retreating into the corridor, Chen Yiyi heard the cry of the hidden monkey change from pain to anger, they sensed that the intruder had stolen their reserve food, and chased after them with a scream, because their eyesight had not yet recovered, they stumbled all the way, but the direction of the chase was generally correct, which also proved that they had other senses other than vision at work.
Chen Yiyi didn't dare to look behind at all, dragged the man back to the entrance of the cave, and screamed: "It's me!"
Two arms reached in, grabbed her clothes and pulled her out of the hole with the man, it was number 33, but the force was too strong, and the three of them fell together.
Ouyang Caiyue is an old fritter, and when she saw Chen Yiyi's embarrassed appearance, she threw three or four pine cones into the hole with her backhand, and she flashed to the side of the cave and immediately detonated.
Heart-rending screams rang out from near the cave, and then two fireballs rushed out of the hole, and the two hidden monkeys were covered in pinecone scales with thermite attached to them, and they were already in pain.
In order to prevent them from pounced on Chen Yiyi and the injured to burn them, No. 33 got up and cut off their heads, and at the same time ended their suffering.
The smell of burnt barbecue permeated the ancestral hall for a long time, smelling disgusting, and there may be some chemicals in the monkey's body, and there is a foul smell when burned.
"It's a pity! This is burning money!" Unable to catch it alive, Ouyang Caiyue stomped her feet distressedly.
"There are two ...... inside," Chen Yiyi stood up and pointed to the cave.
"Huh?"
No. 33 and Ouyang Caiyue, who had just relaxed, immediately faced the enemy.
"It's cubs. Chen Yiyi added, "There is no danger, but this person is ...... I'm going to have to bandage her and get her to the hospital quickly. ”
The man's wound was on the right side of his chest and shoulder, as if he had been scratched by a sharp claw with a deep wound, and his shoulder blades were faintly visible.
Ouyang Caiyue didn't care about the life or death of her competitors, she glanced down at her casually and said, "If you can't die, you can save it if you want to, I'll go in and take a look." ”
Stealing incense
