Chapter 686: The Three Apes Statues (another chapter and a half)
"I've never quite figured it out."
The drama fanatic touched his chin and spoke.
"You said those three... mandrills can obviously come together."
"Hearing, speech, vision."
"If these three things disappear at the same time, we will have absolutely no chance of winning against that beast."
The man looked at Wang Jin with a puzzled face, hoping that this genius could solve his confusion.
"Ah...it's rare for you to start using your brain."
The young man turned his head to look at the drama fanatic, with a bit of relief on his face.
For some reason, he is much more relaxed now.
In layman's terms, it is the state of "I have won".
Facing the puzzled look in Xi Chi's eyes, Wang Jin waved his hand and asked him to continue counting.
Along with each number, Wang Jin expressed his thoughts.
"Carefully recall the behavior of these beasts."
"When you were picking off heads in the ancestral hall, how many dark figures did you see?"
"Um...one."
The drama fanatic said hesitantly, as if he didn't want to mention the part where he was so frightened that he couldn't speak...
etc.
"I was speechless."
The man frowned.
He discovered that something had happened before he got on the bamboo raft.
"That's right."
Wang Jin nodded slowly.
He has been thinking about it since then.
"Su Xi said that it was too dark at that time...it seems to have something to do with it."
"But she also heard the screams, but it was not that obvious."
The drama addict carefully recalled every word spoken at that time, trying to find any clues.
"Of course, it's the villagers who have their language ability affected, not her."
Wang Jin shook his head, feeling sorry for the villagers who died at home.
"But what does this mean?"
The drama fanatic thought hard for a long time and finally decided to give up.
He is only suitable for listening to conclusions, and too complicated reasoning will be in vain.
"You saw a dark shadow."
Wang Jin stretched out his hand to make a gesture.
"Affected at the same time are the villagers, your language ability, and Su Xi's vision."
"There are two types of sense deprivation."
Wang Jin stretched out his hand again and made a two gesture.
"There are three mandrills in total, and they will subconsciously stop their abilities when they panic."
Wang Jin smiled and made a three sign with his hand.
The conclusion is in front of you, and even a drama geek with an IQ not much higher than a fish can easily guess it.
"One works and two look out? It's quite reasonable."
"You mean...these beasts can't use their abilities when attacking?"
Xi Chi slapped his forehead suddenly, with an expression of sudden realization.
"Um."
Wang Jin smiled and nodded.
Previously on the bamboo raft, three senses were disturbed at the same time, but none of these guys came.
This can also verify the conjecture from the side.
They wanted Wang Jin and his group to get into chaos and die in the hands of those floating corpses.
"It's quite tricky, but once you figure it out, that's what it's about."
Wang Jin shrugged and rotated the shotgun slightly in his hand.
The mandrill can only choose to deprive one of its senses and attack both together.
Or deprive both senses and let one come over and attack.
Unfortunately, the former is far from a threat to Wang Jin.
The latter... Although the drama fanatic is a little stupid, he is absolutely unambiguous when he takes action.
"Have you heard of "Three Apes"?"
Wang Jin banged the handle of the shotgun and spoke.
Once you understand the opponent's attack methods, things will become much simpler.
Wang Jin even had the leisure to use these three mandrills to deduce their master's character.
"Three yuan elephant? That's pretty cheap."
"But elephants eat too much and can't afford to keep them..."
Xi Chi frowned and thought seriously.
He didn't know why Wang Jin suddenly promoted the elephant to himself at this time, but he still subconsciously followed his train of thought.
"That's the name of Fusang, but here we call it Sanbuhou."
Wang Jin sighed.
"It's just three half-crouching monkeys, covering their mouths, ears, and eyes with their hands."
“It should have appeared in The Analects of Confucius at the earliest, and they are: don’t speak anything that’s inappropriate, don’t listen to anything that’s inappropriate, and don’t see anything that’s inappropriate.”
Wang Jin gestured.
He remembered that he and Shi Baibai went to an antique stall some time ago and saw these three stone statues.
"Ah! Just like them."
The drama fanatic clapped his hands with excitement on his face.
"Hmm...the same, but different."
Wang Jin shrugged.
"The three monkeys represent Confucianism. These three beasts are simply born to kill people."
"Their owner is obviously an arty fool."
"I guess he writes calligraphy all day long, but actually doesn't know a few words."
"Wei Shanhe... I didn't expect you to be this kind of person."
Wang Jin smiled and shook his head, his voice full of mockery.
"Uh-huh?"
Hearing the unfamiliar name suddenly pop out of Wang Jin's mouth, the drama fanatic's face wrinkled up again.
"All the tablets in the ancestral hall were destroyed by these three beasts. Wei Shanhe is still a little cautious."
Faced with the drama fanatic's doubts, Wang Jin turned around and said something incomprehensible.
"That's right. That's really a small-minded thing."
Xi Chi smiled and nodded, trying his best to look like he understood.
"besides…"
Wang Jin spoke softly and swung the shotgun forward without hesitation.
Whoosh!
Almost at the same time, a dark shadow flashed out of the corner.
As if he had rehearsed it in advance, the shotgun hit the door facing the mandrill that burst out from the corner.
"Ouch——"
The mandrill was knocked blind, but it still relied on the inertia brought by its weight to move forward.
Bang!
Her finger turned around on the trigger, and Alice glowed brightly.
The mandrill in front of him was thrown back, and Wang Jin followed up by kicking it on the chin.
call--
The flag roared out, and the sharp metal head pushed forward from the mandrill's exposed throat, cutting open half of its neck.
Wow!
The attack did not end here. Wang Jin turned his palm and waved the flag with the iris emblem, blocking the mandrill's sight.
"Ouch!"
The mandrill let out a shrill wail, covered his wound and ran away.
And because he couldn't see the road clearly, he hit his companion hard.
Immediately, the two mandrills screamed and ran to the side. The one whose neck was cut open fell to the ground before he could take two steps.
"Beware of three of them appearing together. These things are very difficult to deal with without using any abilities."
After repelling the two mandrills, Wang Jin's second half of the sentence was slowly spoken.
"Ahem... Of course I know this kind of thing."
Xi Chi covered his mouth, trying not to let Wang Jin see the crazily gushing blood.
"Dude cut off two of his fingers, that's awesome."
The playboy waved the trophy in his hand proudly, but his eyes trembled crazily when he saw the fallen mandrill in the distance.
Then he secretly threw his finger to the ground and kicked it away.

"I just used the Pisces positioning method."
Song He waved the bamboo pole desperately and gestured to Hu Xiaobei at the same time.
"I can hear you, just say it."
The latter rubbed his temples with one hand and waved his hand.
She regained her hearing at a certain moment just now, and Hu Xiaobei was a little unaccustomed to the suddenly noisy world.
"Is it resolved so quickly?"
Song He was slightly surprised, but felt a little calmer.
He took a breath and continued talking about his findings.
"The Pisces positioning method coincides with Yin and Yang, and the same goes for the nine-foot-nine-inch bamboo pole."
"She said there was something underwater, and the first thing I thought of was water ghosts."
“The Pisces method just applies.”
Song He was a little incoherent, but his speech was still clear.
"There must be dead people under the river. I have seen many of them over the years."
"An ordinary small tributary can only hold one or two."
"It's not surprising that there are three or five tributaries like ours."
"How many do you think there are down here?"
Song He smiled bitterly and stretched out his hand.
"More than two hundred, more people than our village."
"No wonder my father is not allowed to come here...even he rarely comes here."
Song He murmured to himself, with uncontrollable panic in his voice.
"Dead floats, water ghosts, drowned corpses...I can't tell what they are."
"But even a school of pike, two hundred of them, is scary enough."
"Two hundred..."
Hu Xiaobei frowned and quietly looked under the river water again.
Song He bumped into him, and Xiao Hua seemed to have a reaction.
Even a blind man like Su Xi can see it.
Only Hu Xiaobei himself could only see a blur of river water.
Buzz - bang!
The light of the water flag dims, and the turbid water falls back into the river.
"You can't even use river water to make a mirror."
Hu Xiaobei frowned.
She was thinking about the difference between herself and the others, and the difference between rainwater and river water.
"Is it...contamination?"
The girl bit her lip gently and whispered.
There is pollution in rainwater, it has been there since the beginning.
Su Xi is a polluted hybrid, so it's understandable that she can sense these things.
Song He is an ordinary person who was polluted. After confirming the existence of the other party with the help of the Pisces method, he was able to directly observe it.
But what about Xiaohua?
This child was the first to show discomfort, but there was indeed no trace of contamination on her body.
"The guess has been made, and someone can verify its accuracy..."
Turning her head to look at the woods, the girl sighed slightly.
The results of these matters will have to wait until Wang Jin comes back. What he has to do now is to ensure that the fool can still have a place to stay when he comes back.
