Everyone had been traveling in the northern states of Lingbei Road for more than a month. Du Yueyao had already been recognized by Liu Qingyan and the girls of Wuxiuzhuang, so they no longer deliberately concealed it.
Then Du Yueyao realized that she was the weakest one.
At first she was feeling a little sorry for herself, but she soon gained comfort from Liu Qingyan, saying that it was Du Yueyao who helped her the most, and this made Du Yueyao turn from sadness to joy.
Du Yueyao was very happy to be recognized by the Qing Yi Empress.
Moreover, the medical skills that Liu Qingyan passed on to her were not fake, they were all top-notch medical skills that could cure diseases and save lives without any cultivation.
This allowed Du Yueyao to have a clearer understanding and decision about her future.
…
After crossing the mountain stream, a few people barely found the original mountain road and continued moving forward.
"Although the mountain stream is turbulent, it is not necessarily difficult to cross, or did they not find other ways?" Hua Yixing asked.
"Maybe the other road is more difficult to walk and the doctor can't pass it?" Yu Ming asked in his heart.
"Then it's okay to find a villager to come out and report it. After all, the doctor said he will go down the mountain in five days at most." Bai Ting'er said.
As soon as the words fell, several people stopped in their tracks.
"How..." Du Yueyao just said something and hurriedly covered her mouth.
Just on the side of the road, a solitary head fell into the ground, with scattered blood, flesh and broken bones beside it.
"vomit!"
Yulan couldn't bear it anymore, tilted her head and vomited it out.
After all, Du Yueyao studied medicine and was mentally strong. She only supported Liu Qingyan, but she still couldn't help but tremble all over.
The two guards drew their swords directly, and Hua Yixing and the other girls also looked around carefully.
"They were eaten!" Lin Jing'er narrowed her eyes and said coldly.
"Monster?" one of the guards asked.
"Probably." Hua Yixing nodded, walked forward and looked at the messy footprints on the ground, "And there's more than one."
"A lot of monsters?" The guard was startled and looked around the woods, as if there were faint shadows deep in the woods.
Lu Zheng and others walked forward and saw humanoid footprints of all sizes on the muddy road, "Monkey?"
"Big monkey!" Hu Cainiang said, "A big monkey that is taller than a human!"
Bai Ting'er seemed to recall some bad memories, "That's... Mandrill?"
The mandrill is an ape-like creature, as intelligent as a human being. It is about ten feet tall and almost demonic in adulthood.
Lu Zheng looked at the head on the ground and the blood stains scattered everywhere. It was already black and smelly. This person had been dead for at least three days.
"Then this village..." Du Yueyao could obviously see it, so her voice was trembling.
"Go up and have a look."
The group of people went all the way up the mountain and met no other dead people on the road, but they also saw no trace of human activity.
Until we came to the village halfway up the mountain.
Fences were broken, houses collapsed, corpses were everywhere, and blood was everywhere.
Lu Zheng sensed carefully and found that there was no one alive in the entire village.
"Jiji!"
There was a clear cry, and everyone turned around to see a tall figure that didn't match the voice at all emerge from a roof.
He is eight feet tall, has black hair all over his body, and looks like an ape, with red eyes and sharp teeth.
"Mandrill!" Bai Ting'er exclaimed.
"Jiji!"
When the mandrill saw the crowd, his eyes flashed, then he kicked his legs and pounced towards the crowd.
"go back!"
Before Lu Zheng could make a move, Hua Yixing stepped forward and slapped the mandrill.
"Crack!"
The mandrill was whipped around in a circle and hit the wall behind.
Du Yueyao exclaimed, and the two guards looked at Hua Yixing in horror.
Good guy, just now you were a dignified and elegant lady, suddenly transformed into a female tyrannosaurus?
"When Ting'er first became a spirit, she almost died at the hands of a mandrill." Hua Yixing explained, "So she was a little scared when she saw a mandrill."
"Understood." Lu Zheng nodded, "Why don't you just kill it?"
Hua Yixing's eyes narrowed, "If you kill it, where can you find the remaining mandrills?"
Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows and saw the mandrill getting up, jumping back to the roof and running towards the back mountain, raising his head and shouting loudly.
"Chichi! Chichi!"
Lu Zheng felt a little speechless, "Is that what the mandrill is called?"
"Yes!" Hua Yixing nodded, and then took the lead to catch up.
Lin Jing'er's four daughters followed suit one after another.
Lu Zheng smiled, reached out and grabbed the shoulders of the two guards, and then followed after him.
An adult mandrill is only close to a demon. As long as his intelligence is not developed and he cannot transform into a demon, he cannot be a match for the five girls of Huayixing.
Now that Hua Yixing took action, Lu Zheng happily watched the excitement.
Seeing Lu Zheng following at the end, Liu Qingyan knew Lu Zheng's plan, so she reached out to support Du Yueyao and her maid Yu Lan, and followed them with a light body.
…
The mandrill fled and screamed all the way, all the way deep into the back mountain, heading northwest.
The ten-mile mountain road passed by in a flash, and then there was a response from the other end of the mountain.
"Chichi! Chichi!"
"Chichi! Chichi!"
Then there was the sound of shaking trees, coming all the way from afar.
"Coming!"
The next moment, the mandrill who was running ahead stopped and stopped, turning his head to look at Hua Yixing, his eyes flashing red, filled with ferocious killing intent.
"Want to kill me?" Hua Yixing sneered.
Now that all the mandrills from the nest have appeared, this one is useless.
"die!"
As soon as she turned her palm, a pair of iron forks appeared in her hand. When she raised her right hand, the iron forks in her hand flew out and disappeared in a flash, hitting the mandrill's face in an instant.
"Jiji——"
The mandrill turned over and fell down. Hua Yixing was in front of it the next moment and pulled out the iron fork with her backhand.
"Chichi! Chichi!"
A group of mandrills appeared.
Seeing their companions dying next to Hua Yixing, more than twenty mandrills roared angrily, their eyes red, and were about to pounce on him.
Hua Yixing swung the two iron forks, Lin Jing'er's ten fingernails grew longer, and Hu Cainiang, Yu Mingxin and Bai Ting'er also had a demonic aura on their bodies.
"Jiji!"
Those mandrills also had instincts, and they immediately realized that the five women were not easy to mess with.
but……
Mandrills are very tough by nature, who are they afraid of?
It still turned its hands into claws, showing its fangs and sharp teeth, and pounced on him.
"kill!"
With a clear shout, Hua Yixing took the lead and rushed into the group of mandrills.
"Jiji!"
Suddenly, the cry of a mandrill came from the back mountain. At the same time, a clear voice sounded in everyone's ears, "Stop! Don't kill them!"
Hearing the cry of this mandrill, the mandrills stopped one after another and were about to retreat, but Hua Yixing and the girls did not care and continued to kill.
"I told you to stop!"
The clear voice was full of anger and frustration.
Then, when only five mandrills were left and were running away in panic, a tall mandrill crashed out of the woods.

I recommend an urban infinite novel "My Infinite Script Space". The introduction is very interesting. Interested readers can pay attention to it.
