As expected, she didn't care about my life or death at all. I smiled coldly, put on my backpack, took the wooden chips I had prepared in advance, and carried the Golden Que Sword in my hand, and was ready to set off.
"Brother Zhou Bo, you don't have to go. You have also said that this is the wild, and most of the time you have to be rational to survive. It is not rational to sacrifice your life for a dead fox. Can you think about it again? After all, the three of us still need you. Without you, we girls will not be able to survive." Song Bailu stepped forward and held me, persuading me again.
I sighed, patted her shoulder, and said, "As a former special forces soldier, Joseph is an internationally wanted criminal who has killed countless people. I cannot let him go and cannot let him live. As a man, if I owe those lives a life and do nothing, I am not a man. Moreover, speaking of rationality, I have been preparing for so long before taking action, and I have fully possessed the characteristics of rationality. Well, I have explained what I should explain. If I can come back, everything will be the same. If not, I have also passed on everything I have learned to you. Take good care of them."
After saying that, I went over and touched Sanfu. I was the closest to it recently, and without me noticing, it had grown up a lot. It seemed that it was not a miniature horse, but just a foal. I touched its mane, and it did not ignore me today. It rubbed against me.
After setting off, I personally selected the war supplies. Last night, I made five wooden pieces in one go. I engraved runes and chanted spells on them. Two of them were placed on the soil and rocks for half a night, and the rocks became loose. Two were soaked in a basin of water, and the water became smelly and had to be poured out. One was placed on the fire, and the fire turned black for a while and finally went out.
The borrowing technique really should not be abused. If used on a living creature, it is equivalent to sucking the other party's essence dry, which is no different from the Black Mountain Demon. Of course, simple spells and runes like mine may not be effective on living creatures. The truly profound borrowing technique, such as Zhuge Liang borrowing the southeast wind for three days and three nights, is not something that Yingchun and I can do. It requires exquisite Taoist methods.
Of course, I don’t know whether Zhuge Liang had this magical power. I just use this as an example to illustrate the difference between profound and superficial.
Then I hid a piece of wood containing earth energy in my left pocket, and a piece of wood containing water energy in my right pocket, and remembered it several times to avoid making a mistake. The wood chips were too thick and heavy, and if I put too many in my pockets, any overlap would affect my movements. They might also erase the runes carved with charcoal on them, so I could only put one in each pocket, and the others in the small compartment of the backpack.
I looked at the sky. The sun is very hot now. It should be noon, about two quarters past midnight, which is a little after one o'clock. It is summer now, and it gets dark later. It will be completely dark at about six or seven in the evening, which is also the time of Shenshi. The time difference is about five or six hours. During this period of time, it is good for me and bad for the monster. I have to grasp it well.
After walking through the water pool area and coming to the iron basketball net, I was suddenly attracted by a stone. Because I had been here last time, I clearly remembered that there was no such stone here. There was a water pool here, and there was a canal and groundwater under the mountain. The soil and slopes here would be moist because of this. But this stone was very dry and should have come from a rocky area with harder sand and gravel.
I took it in my hand and weighed it. After I held it, I put my hands around my neck, closed my eyes and thought about the night when the huge four-armed white ape pinched my neck with its hands. Recalling the length and width of its fingers, I immediately opened my eyes in fright. It was indeed them, the group of gorillas.
Looking at the stone again, I saw cracks and a piece was missing, which was obviously caused by a force. I put the stone back to the way it was before, and saw that the crack was facing the direction I was going, and the part of the stone that was knocked off was at the back. This showed that the stone flew from the entrance of the underground factory where I was going, and a part of it was knocked off here.
This is not right. If there really are those gorillas, how did they bypass the wolf spider's nest and get here, and why did they throw stones from there to here?
"What kind of weird phenomenon is this? Forget it, let's just pretend I didn't see it for now. I still have to concentrate on dealing with the monster. After I kill it, I will study it slowly." I said.
I continued to move forward, following the iron fence. I thought I would see the dead bodies of foxes lying all over the place like last time, but surprisingly, I didn't see any. Not a single body, not even the skeleton. There were blood-red stains on the ground, and the smell suggested they were fresh.
Those red foxes have been dead for so long, why are there still fresh bloodstains? Don't cats have nine lives? Do foxes have nine lives too?
I continued forward, and sure enough, the huge body of the nine-tailed white fox, which looked like a rotten corpse a few days ago, had completely disappeared. Not even a bone was left, and even the maggots on the corpse were gone. I knew that there had never been any birds of prey coming here. I had noticed this when I lived in the blockhouse.
So it is unlikely that it was scavenged by birds of prey, as even the bones would have been left behind.
So, what exactly happened?
I squatted down and touched some blood. It was a little warm and not black, which meant it had not been flowing for long. It smelled like human blood. It should be the blood of some primate, or maybe the blood of those gorillas. I was even more certain, after all, the genes of gorillas are 98% similar to those of humans.
"Why are they here? Why is there blood and stones being thrown? Could it be..." I muttered to myself, and then I suddenly felt something was wrong!
Have fought!
I was just thinking about this when suddenly a violent roar was heard, and the monster Joseph rushed up from the ground at such a speed that it was astonishing. Before I could react, his six legs had already brought him to me. He stretched out his insect-like and human-like hands and strangled my throat. Both mouths were wide open, and the big mouth in the abdomen wanted to swallow me, and the one on the human neck was howling, and seemed very angry.
This is too fast.
But I also saw clearly that its body was injured in many places by stones, especially the head part which was full of pits and black blood was gushing out. It seemed that it had fought with the gorillas and was beaten up, so it was so angry and took it out on me.
"Damn it, you bully the weak and fear the strong?" I said in a squeezed throat.
Seeing that its big mouth was about to swallow me and it was about to bite me, I immediately stuck the Golden Que Sword in its mouth. It bit hard, and I freed my hands and quickly and skillfully made the eight hand gestures, with all the soldiers and fighters lined up in front. Since I had practiced a lot, I could basically do it in three or four seconds. Then I took out the wood chip (to store earth qi) from my left pocket, pinched the third joint of the fourth finger of my left hand, and then held the hilt of the sword with my right hand again.
When my left hand switched to sword finger again, I looked coldly at the violent monster in front of me. No matter before or after he became a monster, he was a murderous and malicious bastard, and now I could finally uphold justice.
"I have been waiting for this moment for a long time. In order to kill you, I have survived many life-threatening situations and gone through countless difficulties to prepare everything! Today, I will seek justice for the people in Southeast X Country who were killed by you with the viral flu, and also for the beautiful fox fairy who saved my life. I will take revenge this time and send you to hell for trial. You will be treated like a branded head and poured with hot iron!" I said in a cold voice.
The monster was still rushing forward madly, its mouth in its abdomen trying hard to bite off the Golden Que Sword, and the hand that was pinching me was still exerting strength.
I scolded him coldly and shouted, "Tu Lai! Go to hell!"
Immediately, the wood chip in the left hand began to rot, and at the same time, a huge force was acting violently in the monster's abdominal cavity and mouth!
