Chapter 182: Mandrill
For now, we have no other choice than to prepare for overnight stays.
Although there is nothing in the coffin, the rules that should be followed are still abided by. Lao Huang and his team picked up four stones and placed them on the four corners of the coffin to avoid direct contact between the coffin and the ground. In fact, this is the same as the effect of placing a long bench below.
After fixing the coffin, Lei Zi and I were left to dig a hole, and the others went to cut the weeds nearby.
The weeds in winter are almost all dead grass, which are relatively dry and are very suitable for ignition.
Because the fire burns all night, there is a high demand for weeds.
When digging a hole, Lei Zi said to me: "Jiujizi, we really can't get out, right?"
I lowered my head and dug a hole: "Now is not the time to say despair. As long as I have a breath, I have hope of going out!"
Lei Zi said sadly: "You... don't actually need to comfort me. I know very well that we are in the current situation. We have run out of ammunition and food! We used to budget for normal time, but now, we have been delayed for more than a day in this Mizutan, and we can't find water or food to replenish. If we can't get out within a day or two, we may starve to death in Mizutan!"
I pondered: "I know all the problems you have. This strange Misty Pond is really a headache! The problem of water source can be solved. This place was originally a Water Pond. Although it was a winter break, there was still water in the middle of the Water Pond, but it was just mud and water. It was a bit dirty. It could be filtered in a simple way or boiled before drinking. As for the food problem, this is indeed a troublesome thing. There is no living thing in Misty Pond. There is no snake in this vast wild grass, and the dry food on it is almost finished!"
"Oh!" Lei Zi sighed: "I'll wait until the underworld, I hope you don't blame me! This time, I'm responsible, I'm guilty, I'm sorry to everyone!"
"Don't say these useless!" I dug out the last pile of soil and wiped the sweat from my cheeks. "Now is not the time to divide responsibilities. If you want to talk about responsibilities, I have half of them! I'd better think about how to spend tonight, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the second brother's cry coming from not far away: "Oh--"
My heart suddenly tightened, oh no! Is something wrong again?
Lei Zi took out a flashlight from his bag, and we followed the sound and ran over quickly.
Xiaofei ran out of the weeds in panic, his tongue knotted: "Second brother... brother... was dragged away..."
Dragged away?!
I suddenly remembered the experience of Match Stick, not good! Did that strange face appear again?
Lei Zi was furious: "Jiu Jizi, hurry up, I must not let it run away again this time!"
There was also a fire in my stomach. The monster always attacked us in the dark, and repeatedly. Do you really think we are fools who are easy to bully? This time I must catch it and not let my second brother follow in the footsteps of the matchstick again.
Lei Zi ran in front and shouted: "Jiujizi, I'll chase it, you go east to intercept it!"
Lei Zibing and I were divided into two groups, and each one went into the weeds.
I ran in the bushes, passing through the bushes, and didn't care about the pain of the bushes shaved on my body.
"Jiujizi, go to you, stop it!" Leizi's voice came from not far away.
I stopped suddenly and rushed out of the weeds from the thorns. I heard a rustling sound coming from the front. The weeds were shaking very violently, as if something was crawling rapidly in the weeds.
“It’s coming just right!”
I roared angrily, picked up the mountain-driving stick, and stabbed it into the weeds.
A big red fireball rolled out of the weeds, and I was in a panic.
Who is the evil one?!
I turned around and stared at the rolling fireballs on the ground in a daze, with a look of surprise on my face. What the hell is this?
The things on the ground are about half the size of an adult. They are covered with fiery red hair, their faces are also furry, and their facial features are very ferocious, and they can vaguely see the outline of a person. However, from the appearance, they look more like a monkey, a monkey with red hair.
The monkey crawled on the ground, all of its long hairs standing upside down, looking like a burning ball of fire, grinning, and roaring at us in a manic and angry voice: "Ah———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
"Fuck you!"
Lei Zi rushed out of the weeds and happened to come to the monkey's back. He kicked the monkey on the back and rolled forward. The monkey turned around and roared at Lei Zi in anger. His sharp claws desperately digged the ground, looking extremely manic.
Lei Zi was stunned: "Monkey?!"
"This is not a monkey!" I said.
"Not a monkey? What is that?" Lei Zi asked curiously.
I bit my lip: "If I guess correctly, this is a ghost!"
The ghost?!
Lei Zi looked at me in confusion: "What the hell is a elbow ghost?"
"The elbow is not a ghost!" I quickly explained to him: "The elbow is the elbow that people in the mountains often mention. It is a kind of monster in the mountains. It looks like a human face and looks like a monkey. She likes to lie down at night and especially hurt people at night. She is also called the elbow beauty or the elbow ghost!"
Lei Zi glared at her eyes and asked angrily: "Matchstick... It was killed by it last night, right?"
I nodded: "It should be! How about my second brother?"
"My second brother's leg was bitten and he is not in danger of life for the time being!" Lei Zi said, rolling up his sleeves: "Jiu Jizi, leave this thing to me for disposal. I will kill it with my own hands and avenge the dead matchstick!"
I threw the mountain-driving stick to Leizi and reminded him: "This thing should be an evil thing that crawled out of the big red coffin. Don't take it lightly!"
I couldn't help but shivered when I remembered the shrill death of the matchstick last night.
Lei Zi reached out to catch the mountain-driving stick and spitted into his palm: "How come this thing is put in the coffin? Did those two masters put it in? Or was it originally inside the coffin?"
I thought about it: "I prefer the latter because there are a lot of ancient characters on the red cloth in the coffin. Maybe this ghost was locked in the coffin a long time ago, but it was dug out by the two Tushima masters later! Perhaps, those two Tushima masters don't know what is in the coffin!"
"Damn it! Those two bastards, wait until I go back to settle the score with them! I will kill him now!" At this point, Lei Zi roared angrily, raised his mountain stick, rushed out with a quick arrow, stabbed at the mountain mandrill.
The mandrill was also very sensitive to the reaction. When he rolled against the ground, he actually avoided the sharp point of the mountain-driving stick, then jumped high, turned around and pounced towards me.
"ah--"
The mandrill made a fierce cry, stretched his arms and exposed his sharp claws.
Those ten claws are like ten knives, black and sharp, and can easily tear the prey to pieces.
I was slightly shocked. I didn't expect that the mandrill was so cunning that he could even attack the world. His intelligence was simply beyond the reach of ordinary ghosts.
I took a step back, inserted my right hand into my waist, pulled out the corpse-driven whip, threw a beautiful whip flower in the air, and whipped it directly towards the mandrill.
Unexpectedly, the mandrill was really powerful. He was able to make moves in mid-air.
But when it saw its waist twisting, it actually pulled up to more than half a meter in the air again, skillfully avoiding the attack of the corpse-driven whip and pounced at me at a faster speed.
I was shocked. The corpse-driven whip is a long-distance attack weapon. It is too late to retract the whip at this time.
But when I heard the sound of the strong wind, I had already seen the mandrill open his mouth and squirting out a stinky and smelly storm. His sharp fangs seemed to tear me apart.
When I was talking about it, I suddenly remembered that there was something in my pocket.
As for whether this thing works, I couldn't think about it anymore. I almost subconsciously put my left hand into my pocket, raised my hand and threw out a ball of black stuff, and smashed it towards the mandrill.
What I threw out was a black donkey hoof. When the black donkey hoof was still under the underground palace, I picked it up and put it in my pocket, but I didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.
The mandrill was caught off guard and had not had time to close his mouth. The black donkey's hooves were unmoved and just hit the mandrill's mouth.
"Wow--"
The mandrill roared in pain, and a ball of black air spurted out of his mouth, and fell to the ground from mid-air.
After throwing out the black donkey's hooves, I turned over and rolled aside. Although I successfully avoided this disaster, my vest was soaked in cold sweat in an instant.
Seeing the painful appearance of the mandrill, I was overjoyed and didn't expect that the black donkey's hooves were really effective. Since ancient times, it has been said that the black donkey's hooves can restrain evil things. Today I personally experimented with it, and it turned out to be true.
Natural things are mutually generated and restrained, which is the law of heaven. As for why the black donkey's hooves can overcome evil, I cannot explain clearly.
The mandrill opened his mouth and put his claws into his mouth, digging desperately, trying to spit out the black donkey's hooves in his mouth.
The mandrill roared, and a large cloud of black gas was spitting out of his mouth. I don’t know if the black gas was emitted from the black donkey’s hooves or from the mandrill’s body.
Opportunities must not be missed, and no more mistakes will come!
My eyes lit up. At this moment, it is definitely the best opportunity to subdue the mandrills!
I flew up, raised the corpse-driven whip, and the whip swept across the ground, and spun around the air, turning it into a trap, which was just around the neck of the mandrill. Then I exerted force suddenly, tightened the trap, and tied the mandrill's neck tightly.
Chapter completed!
