Chapter 149 Primate Battle of Intelligence
The next day, everyone was ready to go, following Yun Xiang to find a source of water. Yun Xiang was confident because he had the talisman.
Two days later, Yun Xiang and his team successfully found a traveler's palm, but standing in front of the tree was a huge mutant mandrill.
Everyone's first reaction wasn't fear, but rather a sense of predictability. Yun Xiang, however, wasn't as careless as the others and immediately put people on alert.
She looked around vigilantly. The mutated mandrills were social animals, with a population of more than a thousand. If they ran into one, the difference would be between dying immediately and being caught and killed.
Finding that there was no movement, Yun Xiang turned his attention to the mandrill in front of him.
The mandrill has bright colors and huge patterns, and it is obviously an adult male. It is said that adult male mandrills like to live alone in the forest, so this one is probably the only one.
Yun Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The two sides confronted each other for a long time, but the mandrill did not take the initiative to attack. Yun Xiang could not help but wonder,
Adult mandrills are aggressive, aggressive, and have long, sharp teeth. Where are their teeth? There seems to be blood on their beards.
Strong arms, sharp claws... Although the mandrill tried its best to hide, Yun Xiang could still see the clues from its drooping right arm and severed claws. This mandrill had just experienced a fierce battle.
The wound looks man-made, and the answer is obvious.
Yun Xiang made a gesture to everyone, and they all moved at the same time, approaching the mandrill. The mandrill immediately took an attacking stance, its mouth not open, but its eyes were extremely fierce.
Suddenly he took a step forward and made a gesture as if he was about to yell!
Oh no! Summoning! Everyone subconsciously took a few steps back, and when they saw that the captain hadn't moved, they immediately calmed themselves and stood with him.
Seeing that the others were not scared away, the mandrill moved forward again, but Yunxiang took a step towards him before him. The mandrill withdrew its outstretched foot without a sound.
He decided to wait and see.
Yun Xiang would not give him such an opportunity and immediately ordered the wood-type mutant to attack from a distance.
Seeing this, the mandrill immediately turned around and ran away without looking back.
"Captain, are you chasing me?"
"I won't chase you anymore."
"Is this guy bluffing?" Someone quickly realized it.
"It seems so."
"Isn't that amazing?"
"Injured!" Although he tried his best to hide it, it could still be seen if you looked closely, and many people noticed it.
"You're injured and you're still doing this?"
"I've set my eyes on the water source and don't want to give it up." This is the first mutant beast Yun Xiang has seen in all these days that has not been parasitized by the Inch Lotus.
Being able to spot a tiny lotus in the water is truly remarkable. Like baboons, mandrills have a high IQ and are considered one of the smartest primates.
He knew how to use wisdom to force them back, which really lived up to his reputation.
"Hurry up and get some water." Yun wanted to urge everyone and try not to waste time.
Yun Xiang couldn't think of any other reason other than Bian Qin's team that could disperse the group of mandrills.
Bian Qin had been moving eastward, but suddenly changed his route to the west. I don't know what he is planning, so it's better not to confront him.
The mutated traveler's palm is unusually tall, about twelve or thirteen meters tall, with fan-shaped leaves that look very much like a peacock's tail.
At the bottom of each petiole of the mutant traveler's palm, there is a "water reservoir" that looks like a large spoon and can store dozens of kilograms of water.
Feng Jun was the first to find this location and cut a small hole on it. It was like turning on a faucet, and cool and sweet spring water immediately gushed out.
Feng Jun took a quick sip and immediately felt refreshed. Seeing this, the others also found seats and drank heartily to quench their thirst.
But they all remembered Yun Xiang's reminder and tried not to get their clothes wet.
After drinking, get some water immediately. They only take enough for two days, letting the traveler's palm recover on its own, and then come back to get more water after two days.
After taking out the water, the blade will automatically close, eliminating any waste.
Yun Xiang placed an intermediate magic talisman near the traveler's palm, but she was not sure if she could deceive Bian Qin because Bian Qin was too familiar with the talisman.
On the way back, she and the others took a temporary change of route and unexpectedly came across a two-acre wild cornfield.
This was food, and even if the situation was exceptional, there was no reason to leave it uneaten. Besides, there were so many of them, and it would only take ten minutes.
The soil is fertile and there is plenty of water, so the corn is growing very well, with two or three cobs per plant, evenly distributed.
Everyone immediately ran to the cornfield. Yun Xiang hurriedly told them not to just focus on picking corn, but to pay attention to the insects and come out immediately if anything went wrong.
She herself was on guard at the side with a few young men.
"Captain, did you hear the fighting?" Zhao Tianshuo leaned close to Yun Xiang and asked in a low voice.
Yun Xiang looked at him in surprise and said, "No."
Zhao Tianshuo scratched his head. Could it be that he really heard it wrong?
Less than a minute later, "Captain, haven't you heard yet?"
"No."
How could it be that he couldn't hear it? If he could hear it, there was no reason why the captain couldn't hear it. "Captain--"
"Go to the fields and see if you've picked all the corn yet?"
"Less than five minutes."
"There are so many of us, maybe they're just finishing up. If you go now, you might be able to catch the tail end."
"No, my mission is to guard this place."
Yun Xiang suddenly felt a headache. "Don't you really like corn?"
"You can't leave your post without permission."
"I allow it."
"Captain, you're too easy to talk to. You can't just let us do whatever we want."
Hey, this is exciting, "This is an order!"
"Oh, oh, here I go!"
Yun Xiang looked at the other teenagers and simply sent them off together, "You guys go too!"
"Okay!"
Are all kids nowadays so difficult?
Yun Xiang turned his head to look in the direction Zhao Tianshuo had just pointed, squinted his eyes, and seemed to be thinking about something.
Zhao Tianshuo and his companions entered the corn market and happened to finish the work. They admired Yun Xiang even more.
After harvesting the corn, everyone returned to camp without delay. Yun Xiang handed the people over to Shi Qixuan and left the camp immediately.
She moved swiftly through the woods like a nimble cat, sometimes on the trees, sometimes on the ground, at an extremely fast speed and with very little sound. Even if someone noticed her, only a vague shadow would remain.
"Madam--" Azhi killed the last young mandrill, touched the wound on his face, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
She had been living in fear these days. She really couldn't guess why the lady did that, but she always felt that it was a very crazy thing.
"Why are you hesitating? If there's anything you don't understand, just ask."
"Madam, why are you chasing these mutant beasts and killing them?" Ah Zhi finally couldn't help but ask the question in his heart.
Logically, they should have hidden themselves. After all, the disparity in strength was too great, and half of their guards had already lost their lives.
But the lady seemed to have no intention of stopping, which made her feel cold at heart.
"Find a way out!" Bian Qin said firmly.
"Way out?" Ah Zhi was stunned, obviously not expecting this to be the reason.
"What do you think?" Bian Qin was clearly answering Azhi, but he deliberately raised his voice, obviously speaking to others.
Immediately, someone heard it and asked, "What are the Madam's specific plans?"
As expected, not every guard was fearless and loyal. Even orphans with no ties to their guards were like this.
Bian Qin smiled nonchalantly, "The Sky Star has disappeared from the galaxy."
"What!" Azhi and the guards were shocked and looked at Bian Qin in disbelief.
