74 is a skeleton

◎She saw that Li Yiqing's eyes also turned red◎

"What, what are these things!" The leader Xiao Liu stared at the mandrill in front of him with his eyes wide open. His hope was shattered at that moment, and he was shaking like a sieve.

The fear of facing death made everyone's throat tighten and their feet stagger. They thought they could finally escape from the darkness and move towards the light full of hope, but in the next second, reality gave them a heavy blow.

You will die.

At this moment, they are unarmed and will surely die.

"Swish--" While everyone was still stunned, Li Yiqing had already taken out a crossbow from his backpack and shot at a mandrill that was rushing towards him.

This was the weapon she got in the previous dungeon. In her previous life, Li Yiqing had never used a crossbow, but in the dungeon, the moment she picked up this exclusive weapon that belonged to her, the crossbow became a part of her body. Even in the dim light, she could still accurately shoot every mandrill that pounced on her.

"Ah!" The mandrills she shot roared in pain. After several of them were injured one after another, they finally stopped attacking.

But they did not leave, still standing there confronting everyone, they formed an airtight circle tightly, wrapping everyone inside.

The NPCs huddled together in fear, their backs pressed together. No matter where they looked, they saw pairs of glowing, murderous eyes.

"I didn't expect you had weapons." After a long stalemate, a massive mandrill spoke again. They possessed not only extraordinary intelligence but also a vast vocabulary, learned from countless "prey." "We clearly stole all your luggage not long ago."

It turns out that they were also responsible for the loss of the tent.

"Where are Wang Qiang and Dali?!" Sister Yang was originally still afraid, but when she heard about the evil deeds of these mandrills, her sense of responsibility as a team leader and a strong anger surged up. "How did my team members die? It was you who did it, right?"

"Are you talking about those two humans whose eyes we dug out?" The mandrill chuckled softly and deliberately provoked, "Their eyes were really delicious."

"What do your eyes smell like?" The mandrills gathered together and looked at everyone. The attack just now seemed to be just a bluff by humans. Facing a large number of mandrills, a crossbow could not completely repel them.

In the process of hunting for food all year round, this group of mandrills are very good at teamwork. They made a feint to the east and attacked in the west. They started to move again. Some of them deliberately attracted Li Yiqing's attention and wasted her few remaining arrows. On the other side, the huge mandrill took advantage of her unpreparedness and suddenly jumped up and pounced on the woman who had just questioned it.

Sister Yang was startled and instinctively wanted to step back, but the mandrill was too fast. In an instant, she was grabbed by the collar.

The mandrill sneered, its bright and strange face twisting back and forth in the darkness. It raised its sharp claws and aimed them at Sister Yang's eyes.

"Run!" Sister Yang struggled in vain and had to accept her fate. In panic, she pushed Liu Ge, who was standing beside her, and tried to protect her teammates from harm.

"Don't worry." The mandrill said, "I will kill you all one by one..."

Before it could finish its words, a tearing pain suddenly came from its abdomen. The mandrill spat out a mouthful of blood and looked down in disbelief. Something had pierced its skin and flesh and penetrated its body.

It was not an arrow, but a knife, and the end of the knife was connected to a long chain, just like the one that was tied to the man at the foot of the hillside.

With no time to dodge, Liu Ge retracted the chain blade in his hand and swung it again. The chain wrapped around the baboon's body in circles, and inertia threw it far away.

This direction doesn’t work, what about the other side?

A few unwilling mandrills bypassed the direction where Li Yiqing and Liu Ge were and quickly pounced to the other side. Just when they were about to reach the crowd, Qi Qiuxue suddenly pulled out the bone knife from her backpack.

“…” After a moment of silence, the mandrills stopped moving forward and retreated one after another.

Where did these weapons come from? They followed this group of people all the way, just to find the right time, when everyone's hunger, fatigue and fear all reached their peak, they jumped out and feasted on their eyes.

But obviously, the plan failed, and the mandrills had no idea how many weapons they had hidden.

"Come on," Qi Qiuxue said softly, her voice unusually calm and composed. "Are there any of you willing to come up and die?"

"It's just right. We are all hungry now and urgently need to replenish food."

They were clearly facing only a skinny human being, but at this moment, they felt a bit of fear.

"Swish, swish..." The wind beside my ears seemed to have grown much stronger, speeding up the shaking of the branches. The snow on the ground and on the branches were all blown up by the strong wind, covering all humans and mandrills, like a severe snowstorm caused by artificial breeding.

The mandrills who had lived here for many years soon realized something. The giant mandrill with a wound in its abdomen gave orders in a language that only they could understand. In the field of vision, countless mandrills began to retreat rapidly, as if the end of the world was approaching, and disappeared in front of everyone without looking back.

"Have they given up the attack?" Sister Yang gasped as if she had survived a disaster. Not long ago, she was deeply afraid of the boundless darkness, but at this moment, when all those bright eyes disappeared, the darkness gave her a slight sense of security.

Qi Qiuxue frowned silently but did not answer. Her hearing was very sharp. In the darkness, she could clearly feel that the wind force around her was rapidly increasing exponentially.

From gales to squalls to hurricanes...

The snow around them was blown up by the hurricane, and the weeds, branches, and stones were all swept up into the sky in spirals. Everyone began to stagger, and even standing was extremely difficult.

"Hold on to the tree next to you!" Qi Qiuxue reacted quickly, trying to avoid being swept away by the hurricane, but obviously, this approach could only delay for a short while.

Hurricanes gathered from all directions, and the wind speed increased again. The thinner dead trees beside were uprooted and lifted up by the hurricanes, dancing wildly in the sky.

Then, screams came one after another, and one NPC after another was swept into the sky, followed by Qi Qiuxue, Li Yiqing... They were all trapped in the storm, as if they had plunged into a rapidly spinning vortex, tossing back and forth in the desperate night.

After a few rounds, Qi Qiuxue felt dizzy and her stomach was churning. When people are in a state of weightlessness, they always try to grab something. She unconsciously stretched out her hand and grabbed forward with force.

This time, she really caught something.

"Axue!" Li Yiqing hugged her tightly in the storm and protected her in his arms. Countless sharp stones and branches came from all directions, but only cut Li Yiqing's skin and could not hurt Qi Qiuxue at all.

Qi Qiuxue struggled to look up in Li Yiqing's arms and found that the originally dark sky was now a little brighter, probably caused by the hurricane. A red, extremely strange light poured down, illuminating the center of the storm.

In the face of the absolute power of nature, humans are as small as an ant. Qi Qiuxue's breathing quickened and her heart beat like a drum. Even if she was really going to die, she didn't want to die in this way.

But she had no time to think about how to escape. The severe dizziness caused her brain to lack oxygen and her body to spasm. It seemed that in the next second, she would completely lose consciousness and faint.

But before she fell into coma, she noticed something appear in her field of vision, like a huge container, wrapping up everyone and blocking most of the wind.

It's a huge skeleton.

With just one glance, Qi Qiuxue concluded that this was the one that had appeared in the dungeon many times before.

“…”

"Aqing." In a trance, Qi Qiuxue heard herself calling out Li Yiqing's name. She didn't know why she called her name, nor did she know what she was going to do. Perhaps this call was just out of instinct.

Li Yiqing did not respond to her.

So Qi Qiuxue raised her eyes and looked at her face. In the reflection of the red light, she saw that Li Yiqing's eyes had also turned red.
