Er Laizi and others also hurried over at this time.
Seeing this chaotic scene, Zhao Wei's eyes turned, he ran over to grab the backpack, took out a piece of honey from it and held it high.
When the monkeys saw the honey, they immediately became agitated. Some of them could not hold back and slowly moved closer.
It seems that these guys know that this thing is a good thing, which saves Zhao Wei a lot of trouble.
As for bait, you always have to give up in order to gain.
He opened his backpack and took out the leaves of a plant that is very effective in killing people - the curare tree.
If this thing is accidentally ingested, it will cause cardiac arrest and lead to suffocation and death.
Originally, this was applied by hunters onto arrows for hunting purposes.
But now, Zhao Wei crushed it and smeared its juice on the honey.
Then he carefully placed the honey on the ground and quickly left with everyone.
After the monkeys made a lot of noise there, they soon couldn't hold back anymore and jumped down from the trees one after another, fighting for the sweet honey.
Finally able to take a breath, Yunxiu said with lingering fear: "Luckily you came in time, otherwise my scalp would have been ripped off by these guys."
Her hair was originally tied up, and these monkeys suddenly jumped onto her head, scratching and clawing at her, leaving many bloody cuts on her head.
Her braids were even pulled off. These beasts were probably well fed, so they enjoyed playing with her, which allowed them to hold out until Zhao Wei and the others came to rescue her.
If these monkeys are starving, they will probably tear people apart and eat them alive.
Zhao Wei smiled and patted Dahei's head: "This time it's all thanks to Dahei. If it weren't for him, we might not have been able to reunite so quickly."
Er Laizi also came over and patted Dahei in a flattering way: "Good dog, when we get back, I will reward you with a chicken leg."
Dahei wagged his tail and licked Erlaizi's hand, as if he had really forgiven him.
The man and the dog became friends again and had long forgotten the peeing incident.
Erlaizi is just like that, heartless and won't care about these little things.
Just as they were talking, they heard the screams of the monkeys.
The poison took effect, and more than half of the monkeys that had just grabbed the food died, screaming on the ground.
The bait honey weighed nearly a pound.
At this time, it was almost eaten, with only two or three taels left.
These monkeys were unlucky enough to die after eating. Among the remaining monkeys that were still standing, there were two very brave ones who were not frightened by the miserable plight of their companions.
Instead, it looked at them cautiously, then looked at the bee, and finally ate the bait again.
This seems a bit cruel, after all, seven or eight monkeys were poisoned to death.
The number of monkeys in this group was not large. The seven or eight dead monkeys were still twitching and rolling around. They couldn't die for a while, but they didn't look like they could live either.
The shrill cries of monkeys exploded in the forest. The dying monkey grabbed the tree trunk and twitched, and its claws scratched deep bloody marks on the bark.
The remaining two monkeys swallowed the last few mouthfuls of honey ravenously.
Soon, a gurgling sound came from their throats, and they suddenly fell straight down, with bulging eyes and sticky honey stains at the corners of their mouths.
"Master, this... is too cruel, alas..."
An apprentice looked at the twitching monkey corpses on the ground, his Adam's apple rolling up and down.
Zhao Wei stared at the direction where the monkeys were gathering and found a gray shadow swaying faintly behind the bushes. He said in a deep voice, "If they treat us as food, they would be cruel."
There were bloodstains on Yunxiu's head, which were the work of the monkey.
When they chose to hurt Yunxiu, this outcome should have been inevitable.
Before he finished speaking, a low roar tore through the air, and an old ape the size of a calf pushed aside the vines, its scarlet eyes fixed on everyone.
Dahei instantly stood in front of Zhao Wei, with his hair standing on end.
Most of the monkeys in this mountain are about the size of a real child, and the largest one is only about the size of a two or three-year-old child.
But this old ape was an outlier, as big as a boy of seven or eight years old.
The old ape beat his chest with a deafening roar, and a dozen monkeys behind him screamed in unison, and dead branches and leaves fell to the ground.
Monkeys are social animals. After the young ones are beaten, the old ones are coming!
Yunxiu held onto Zhao Wei's clothes tightly and said, "That's a lot. What should we do now?"
Er Laizi's disciples also turned pale and said in a panic, "Master, how about... let's run!"
However, Zhao Wei stared at the faded red rope wrapped around the old ape's neck - it was clearly a knot woven by humans.
He suddenly remembered that when he was strolling in the village, he heard an old man say that herbalists would catch monkeys, tame them from childhood, and then let the monkeys replace humans to collect herbs in more dangerous places.
The herbalist appeared in the village a few years ago. At that time, he was followed by a huge monkey.
The villagers usually don’t have the chance to see monkeys, so they still remember this herbalist who they met by chance.
After becoming a hunter, Zhao Wei was quite interested in the legends and unofficial history in this regard.
It cannot be said that this old ape was raised by the herbalist, but the red rope wrapped around its neck does make it look more human.
"Don't act rashly. If you shoot it to death, it will anger the monkeys. If they retaliate crazily, no one here can withstand it."
Zhao Wei held down Yunxiu who was about to raise her gun, slowly took out half a pancake from his backpack, continued to apply medicine on it, put it on the ground, and immediately took three steps back.
The old ape sniffed the air vigilantly, slowly approached the poisoned monkey corpse, suddenly picked up the body of a cub, raised his head and let out a sad wail.
The rest of the monkeys followed suit and beat their chests and stamped their feet, and their creepy cries echoed through the mountains and forests.
Dahei whimpered and lowered his ears, as if he felt the sadness of the monkeys, and hummed...
As long as they don't be greedy for this bite of food, nothing will happen.
This pancake is a fragrant and soft meat pancake that Wang Caigu made specially for Zhao Wei.
At this time, a lot of lard had already solidified and it was a bit sticky.
But it does not affect the monkey's enjoyment of eating.
One cake is obviously not enough for these monkeys to share.
Soon they started fighting over the item.
Only the old ape didn't care what the monkeys behind him were doing. He just glared at them hatefully, with hatred and violence in his eyes.
This monkey wants to kill someone.
Zhao Wei didn't care about anything else and shot the opponent directly in the heart.
The old ape's body was quite strong, and the bullet only broke some of his skin and flesh.
However, Zhao Wei's hunting rifle needed time to reload bullets, and the old ape had already jumped high and pounced on Zhao Wei.
Yunxiu was frightened, but she had no way to provide support because her gun was still hanging on the tree.
