Chen Anni's face turned solemn when she mentioned this.
She talked about the cold night not long ago, when they followed the mandrill out for food and encountered a snowstorm, so the group had to take shelter in a cave.
What I never expected was that there was actually a den of bears living in that cave.
The mandrill and the bear fought. The bear was very strong, but there were so many mandrills that it was difficult to tell the difference for a while.
At this moment, a little bear about half a man's height suddenly rushed towards Chen Anni.
She screamed loudly in fright and ran out of the cave without thinking, with the little bear chasing after her.
She ran and ran, but she didn't get very far.
Seeing the little bear behind her approaching her, Chen Anni was scared to death.
In this fight between life and death, Chen Anni kicked a stone and fell heavily to the ground.
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Bai Wenwen even pulled her to look around.
"How about it?
Are you OK?
Where was the bite?"
Chen Anni smiled awkwardly and scratched the back of her head.
"After I fell, the mandrill came over and dragged the little bear away. However, I also discovered that the thing that tripped me just now was not a stone, but..."
"Winter bamboo shoots?"
Peng Hai slapped his thigh.
"Have all the mandrills in this tribe followed you to dig winter bamboo shoots in the past two days?"
"ah."
"You still, do you know how worried we are about you? We all want to move the rocks on the ground and pull up the trees on the roadside to see if you are under there. But you tell me, you are
Is it time to dig winter bamboo shoots?"
Peng Hai is so angry!
I wish I could give Chen Anni a punch.
In this regard, Chen Anni explained: "We are like iron rice and steel. If we don't eat one meal, we will feel hungry. What's more, these mandrills eat meat with a strange smell, and I am not used to it."
Well, there is no such explanation.
"Then do you know about the basement in this room?"
As you can imagine, Chen Anni didn't know, let alone what was going on in the pit filled with bones not far outside.
Everyone felt a little disappointed, but everyone said it was fine.
"You are okay. Unfortunately, my brother's whereabouts are still unknown."
Wang Kaixuan's tone was filled with anger, and he looked at the heavy snow outside the window: "I don't know whether he is dead or alive yet."
Chen Anni was confused. After learning what happened before, her face instantly became serious.
"To tell you the truth, the other reason why I asked everyone to follow me out this time was to catch the savages."
"Savage?"
These two words made Zhang Long feel slightly uneasy. He didn't know whether it was because of the pile of corpses outside that caused him a psychological shadow, or because of the shocking power of the word itself.
When I used to live in the city, I would often hear reports about savages on TV programs, saying that traces of savages were found somewhere.
In those blurry video recordings, most of the savages are tall, hairy, with ferocious faces and amazing strength.
People are always afraid of unknown things, just like not everyone is afraid of the savage.
Chen Anni nodded.
"When I came to this tribe, the mandrill king told me that he suspected that some savages were coming and asked me to stay in the room and not go anywhere. All the mandrills were very nervous.
This level of tension is simply depressing and scary, and it feels even scarier than the time with the white-haired monster!"
Chen Anni said that she didn't believe there were savages at first, saying that those savages were real people pretending to be savages. However, there were only a few people on this desert island, and there was no need for anyone to go all the way to pretend to be savages.
Until later, she found a series of footprints in the mud at the camp.
The footprints were slender, smaller than the mandrill's, and much larger than her feet.
Someone interrupted me here.
"Isn't that the unlucky kid?"
"It's not a little mandrill, because I stayed with it the whole time I found the footprints."
"What can a footprint mean?"
Chen Anni thought so at first, but then the savage came in.
The weather was nice that night, but Chen Anni didn't fall asleep. She saw a shadow flash past outside the house very quickly.
She quickly opened the window and looked out, but she only saw a vague shadow in the moonlight, black, and it looked like a human figure.
The next morning, a large piece of meat was missing from the kitchen.
They found minced meat not far from the tribe, with clear teeth marks on them. Chen Anni was sure that those were definitely the teeth marks of a person.
From then on, things were often lost in the tribe, sometimes blankets, sometimes food, but no one took it seriously.
Until later, the tribe was missing a spear.
Chen Anni suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter. After discovering the winter bamboo shoots, she decided to find a way to catch the savage!
I made traps inside and outside the tribe in advance, and then left with all the mandrills. What I didn’t expect was to meet them when I came back.
Zhang Long Mingrui looked at her quietly.
"Then, have the savages caught him?"
Wang Kaixuan's pupils suddenly shrank.
"Maybe my brother was captured by that savage!"
As he spoke, tears fell without warning.
"You said that savage is really vicious. My brother is as thin as a bamboo pole. Apart from the layer of skin, there are only bones. Is he trying to eat my brother?"
"No, I have to go out and take a look!"
"There's such a heavy snowstorm outside, where are you going to find him?"
Zhang Long grabbed Wang Kaixuan's arm and pulled him back.
Wang Kaixuan wiped away his tears.
"I don't care, I just want to go out to find my brother anyway. If he dies, how should I explain to my mother?"
"Tsk, the old men are crying! What do they look like?"
Peng Hai snorted coldly.
"When it stops snowing outside, let's go out and look for it together."
Zhang Long frowned, his eyes were dull, he lowered his head and murmured to himself, not knowing what he was thinking, but suddenly he raised his head and looked at the Mandrill King.
"Why were you so afraid of savages at first, but then you weren't afraid anymore?"
When the white-haired monsters invaded, he had seen mandrills when they were nervous. The level of nervousness was no less than the busy people in camouflage uniforms he had seen when he was a war reporter.
Being even more nervous than that can only mean that these mandrills have seen the savages and they know how powerful the savages are, but then they followed Chen Anni to dig winter bamboo shoots as if nothing had happened. This makes no sense whatsoever.
