Close the ring
This is an open space completely different from the dense jungle just now. Not even any trees grow here.
In an area less than ten meters wide, there is a huge round stone in the center.
On top of the huge rock, there was a monkey sitting upright, its appearance was slightly different from the others.
It is relatively larger in size, but its fur color is lighter, somewhat leaning towards brownish yellow. The bangs on its forehead are not as neat as others, and they are long and short and look a bit sparse.
He seemed to be a little older, and the look in his eyes was indifferent, but gave people a kind and amiable feeling, as if he was sitting there like a Buddha.
A monkey king will emerge from a group of monkeys only after fighting. Only by subduing them with force can all the monkeys be willingly convinced by the monkey king.
So even though this scene might make people relax their vigilance, Ding Can did not dare to underestimate it.
Several people stood on the fallen leaves at the edge of the clearing. They always felt that there was something strange about the clearing and did not dare to step in for a while.
The Monkey King's bulging eyeballs turned left and right, revealing mostly the whites of his eyes, which swept over the four people one by one, and finally stared straight at Ding Can, with the corners of his lips raised.
Ding Can confirmed that he was not mistaken. The Monkey King was indeed laughing in a non-human way.
Monkeys have higher IQs than ordinary creatures, and are almost the same as children of a few years old. It would be difficult for anyone to calmly deal with a child looking at them with a dull look in his eyes.
Ding Can was confused and puzzled.
There was nothing here, nothing to do, and no trace of a trap.
The Monkey King was about to stand up at this time, and his lower limbs, which had been mostly covered, were exposed in front of the people.
They noticed that there was a hairless spot on the monkey king's hind legs, revealing the dark skin underneath.
This is more like the result of wearing a collar or shackles for a long time, and the hair in this area has all fallen off due to long-term wear and tear and cannot grow normally.
Since it is used to restrict movement, it should have been locked up somewhere, definitely not in the mountains.
Yu Fu lowered his eyes: "Is it injured?"
When the Monkey King stands on his two legs just like a human, you can see that the hind leg with the skin exposed at the bottom is thinner and seems to be shorter than the other one.
The Monkey King opened his mouth but made no sound. He just exhaled fiercely.
It looked like a deterrent, but the ground around the boulder raised small clouds of dust.
Although there was no wind at this time, the dust was still floating up everywhere, and it seemed to have some specific shapes.
The Monkey King just stood there quietly, his body beginning to disappear into the dust, and the scene here looked completely different.
The open space, huge rocks, smoke and wild monkeys with strange shapes and movements make it feel like a place for something to be worshipped or held a memorial ceremony.
All other debris on the ground has been cleared away. Apart from gravel, not even a tiny blade of grass can be seen. This effect cannot be achieved without regular cleaning.
But who would keep this place as it is for so long? Is it the monkeys who rule the mountain?
Yu Fu looked at the thing in front of him that looked like an evil formation, and felt uncomfortable. It seemed that his mind was affected just by being close to it. He wondered if there really were some supernatural powers here.
He did not forget the reason why he chose to enter the copy again, which was to find the possibility of connecting between copies.
Some natural phenomena that cannot be explained by science may be related to the direction you want to explore.
The first ghost Ding Can and his party met were Ji Qu, the priest of the Bingxi tribe, Meng Qi, and even Xue Xiang, the wandering ghost in the amusement park incident.
They can either travel through dungeons or experience that the world they live in is not unique.
Yu Fu had a guess in his mind that those NPCs who were endowed with abilities different from ordinary people would have the ability to glimpse the existence of the plane.
If the Monkey King also had thoughts different from those of wild beasts, he might have accidentally wandered to the edge of the copy.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously took a step forward, but was stopped by Ding Can.
"It's not your turn to make the first move this time."
Although the winner has not yet been decided, this is the monkeys' territory after all, and Ding Can still feels that the outcome will not develop as expected.
Who knows, they might be surrounded again in the next second. In order to avoid any worries, they have to get rid of the Monkey King.
No matter what is hidden here, we must take the initiative first to promote further development.
Ding Can clenched his fists and was secretly gathering strength. He looked at the Monkey King and saw that he seemed to be too weak to move and needed to be protected by the entire tribe.
But the exact strength can only be determined after trying it.
She ran over quickly, but didn't see the Monkey King move a step until she got close. Now she really believed that the Monkey King was having some difficulty walking.
But Ding Can did not show any mercy. When he got closer, he punched him directly.
When there were only a dozen centimeters left between him and the Monkey King, he finally saw the other party move.
First, the entire upper body leaned back, the whole monkey bent down and arched its waist. The moment its hands supported the ground, its feet also left at the same time, and it disappeared from sight like a swimming fish.
Ding Can didn't have time to retract his fist before he hammered down hard on the stone. The boulder broke in the middle in an instant and then shattered into pieces to the sides.
The flying gravel made Tan Wan'er and Zhang Qing, who were watching, subconsciously shield their faces with their arms, and some of it did fall on them.
Zhang Qing's mouth dropped open as a series of strange things unfolded before him. Seeing Ding Can's natural power, he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "If you had such a talent, you should have said so earlier. Why would you have bothered to collect so many insects just now?"
Just one punch each will take care of it. I guarantee they will be left bewildered.
He didn't know that this was a limited number of times, and his admiration for Ding Can became even greater.
Tan Wan'er turned her head to look at Yu Fu. This man had not made any attempt to block the view. He had been keeping his eyes on Ding Can's direction, afraid of missing something if he was not careful. He also looked like he was preparing to attack.
The two of them were traveling together, so it was possible that she wasn't the only one with special abilities, but she hadn't revealed them yet, so one couldn't help but be curious.
Yu Fu simply waved away some of the smoke in front of him and saw the Monkey King standing a few steps in front of Ding Can.
After escaping the attack just now, it still did not move and just stood there.
Although it is more sturdy than other creatures of the same kind, compared to humans, its height is only equivalent to that of an eight or nine-year-old child. You need to lower your eyes to see it clearly.
His left leg was injured, and when he stood he leaned slightly to one side, making him look like he was limping.
However, the expression on the Monkey King's face did not change at all. He was still smiling as before, even the curve of his lips was the same.
Even its slightly open eyeballs were now fixed. Its back was slightly hunched due to its old age. The action just now seemed to have consumed most of its physical strength, and it was breathing heavily.
If he couldn't see the rise and fall of its breathing, Ding Can would almost suspect that it was just a statue.
She thought of something and waved her palm towards the Monkey King again. When it was about to fall on him, it was dodged nimbly again.
After trying several times, the result was the same. The Monkey King was like a human-machine, just repeating the same dodging movements over and over, and it was impossible to catch him.
A strange feeling crept up from behind her, and she even wondered if the monkey was really still alive, or if it was just an empty shell, and the inside had become something else.
Yu Fu strode forward, wanting to follow and encircle him from behind, but the Monkey King seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, and could react immediately no matter what he did.
It didn't attack actively, but it didn't run away either. In the end, it seemed like it was being led by the nose.
Zhang Qing heard the sound coming from behind him. Some wild monkeys realized that the Monkey King was being targeted by humans, and followed him regardless of anything, not even trying to get rid of the insects on their bodies.
He looked at the one that was approaching. There was a worm covering his cheek, which was pulled off violently. Because it bit so tightly, it even tore off a small piece of skin on his face.
The wild monkey howled in pain, but did not stop running forward.
Zhang Qing had no choice but to turn around to stop it, and reminded him: "Hurry up and find a way to find its weakness."
The Monkey King is weird, so it is easier to deal with these ordinary wild monkeys.
Like Zhang Qing, Tan Wan'er focused her attention on the rainforest behind her. The neurotoxins released by the color-changing insects would soon take effect on them.
These wild monkeys will soon not be as difficult to deal with as before.
*
Ding Can and Yu Fu were both standing in front of the Monkey King. They couldn't catch him for a while, so they couldn't help but feel anxious.
"What do you mean by this old monkey?"
Logically speaking, the other monkeys were hostile to them because of the Monkey King's instructions, but the two of them were already in front of it, so why didn't they take action?
If it was old and weak, it was impossible because it dodged so quickly.
Attacks on the mental level can indeed be more dangerous to a certain extent. Now looking at the Monkey King's weird smile, she began to feel a chill down her spine.
It's more like nausea than fear, like a cancer that's hard to dissipate. Perhaps it's precisely because of this desire to make people retreat.
Although the Monkey King was constantly fleeing, judging from his route, he never left this open space.
I don’t know whether I don’t want to leave or I can’t leave.
Yu Fu raised his eyes: "In short, if we grasp it, we will have a breakthrough."
Two people are not enough to block all of the Monkey King's escape routes, but with the addition of tools, the outcome may be different.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when Ding Can swung his fist again, with him behind him, the Monkey King naturally jumped to the other side where there was a bigger gap.
The fishing net then came down over the monkey's head, catching it with great momentum. The moment it struggled, fists arrived.
I wasted an opportunity before, and I can't let it slip away this time.
The Monkey King's left shoulder was hit so hard that it bent backwards in an unusual arc. The sound of bones cracking reached his ears, and his body fell heavily to the ground.
It fell right in the center of the clearing, where the rubble had been knocked down by the hammer.
In addition to the wound on his shoulder, his back was naturally also pressed by the stone. Now that he was injured, he finally no longer had that devilish smile.
The Monkey King roared again, attracting responses from the other monkeys. The roars of the monkeys echoed throughout the forest.
A ferocious expression appeared on its face, and its eyes were redder than before.
Ding Can was very close, and he noticed from the corner of his eye that the gravel under his feet seemed to be shaking, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Be careful..." Before he could finish his words, the ground collapsed in the next second. The two men were unable to dodge and fell straight down.
