While the overlord gorilla was fighting alone against a group of wolf spiders, the spiders also relaxed their vigilance against Yunwen and me. Taking this opportunity, I signaled Yunwen to retreat down the mountain. Yunwen nodded immediately and helped me walk slowly towards Sanfu. Sanfu's hind leg was torn by the spider's claws, but his life was not in danger, it was just a superficial injury.
Yunwen and I hurriedly took it and slowly went down the mountain, but when we saw that the gorillas at the foot of the mountain had all returned, we quickly turned around and headed back up the mountain. It turned out that the gorillas were not retreating, but were picking up rocks again. They were now returning from the downhill direction to have a big fight with the wolf spiders!
We decided not to get involved as it was extremely easy for us to get hurt by mistake, so we quickly retreated and ran up the slope.
When we reached the fruit tree area on the uphill slope, my body couldn't hold on any longer, so I collapsed to rest for a while. The war howls of the gorillas, the sounds of swinging rocks, the screams and the sounds of hitting were gradually moving away from us. However, even from a distance, I could still tell how brutal the battle below was.
"There seems to be something wrong with these apes." Yunwen muttered.
"You can see that they are different from ordinary gorillas, right?" I asked.
She nodded and said, "Generally speaking, most orangutans are peaceful. They will roar, beat their chests, jump, and make loud noises when they encounter intruders. This is because their territory is invaded and their tribe is threatened, so they will bluff like this. In addition, orangutans mostly eat leaves, bark, etc., and generally do not eat meat. Therefore, they are not very subjectively aggressive. Even if they encounter an intruder, they will only scare the intruder away. They will never be like these orangutans today, who not only stay away from their territory, but also actively attack, and their offensive is fierce and merciless."
"Not only that, I saw that the fan-shaped range of the attack launched by the giant gorilla started from the gorilla that was killed by the wolf spider's fangs, and always surrounded the area. Do you understand what this means?" I asked.
"It's taking revenge!" Yunwen replied immediately.
I nodded in approval and said, "Right, revenge! And as the leader, it avenged its brothers. It is a man of blood and loyalty. It is willing to go straight into battle and fight a hundred people alone. This sounds like something only humans would do. From the first time I saw their eyes, I doubted whether their group was human-like. Otherwise, how could they have such a high degree of social bond?"
"Well, they don't care about territory, are aggressive, bloodthirsty and warlike, and have human nature. They are more like a wild tribe than a group of gorillas." Yunwen said.
I strongly agree with this point. Beneath the appearance of the gorilla, its thoughts and intentions are too human-like and are definitely not simple.
As we talked about many things, almost an incense stick of time had passed. I also recovered and prepared to get up and go back, but I noticed that the attack below had stopped and the sound had stopped. Out of curiosity, I asked Yunwen to wait for me here. I took a quick look and she told me to be careful.
I walked slowly downhill, took a look at the slope, and was immediately shocked beyond words. I couldn't describe the scene in front of me. I couldn't tell whether it was too disgusting or too spectacular. I saw that the entire downhill road in front of me was filled with countless wolf spiders, some of which were killed by tree forks, some had their abdomens smashed, some were pierced by their own chelicerae, and some had their heads torn apart from their mouths...
All kinds of ways of dying, all kinds of cruel and horrifying ways, made me shudder and shudder. The ground was covered with green liquid, broken limbs and body parts, and horrible deaths. This kind of scene can only be seen in nightmares. A gust of wind blew by, and the stench hit me in the face. I immediately squatted down and vomited!
What shocked me even more was that not only were all the adult wolf spiders slaughtered, but the cliffs beside the slope were also covered with white liquid, and the spider eggs were probably destroyed as well.
This is genocide!
I couldn't watch any more, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to swallow my meals for the past two days. This was truly a psychological trauma. I, Zhou Bo, have experienced some border missions, seen dead bodies, and fought in wars. My psychological quality in this regard should be better than that of ordinary people. But the scene of corpses everywhere in front of me was something that even I couldn't bear to look at for a second time. It was too brutal.
"Just because they killed a gorilla, these wolf spiders were exterminated? Their species was wiped out? What a bad temper!" I couldn't help but mutter.
After that, I didn’t look at her again, turned around and left quickly with Yunwen to our residence on the hillside.
Sanfu's thigh was wounded and it was inconvenient for it to carry other people, so we led it back slowly. It was frightened after this incident and needed to recover mentally. It was a little impatient and kept kicking and kicking around, or trying to run away. So it took a relatively long time to get it back to our home on the hillside.
When we returned to our residence, Bai Lu came to greet us immediately upon seeing us. However, because I had used the Golden Que Sword without the help of a talisman, all the energy in my body had been drained by the Sword, and I was already exhausted. After reaching home, I could not hold on any longer, and I lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
When I woke up, I was lying on the animal skin in the adobe house. Yunwen came in with medicine in her hand and asked softly, "Are you awake?"
"Yeah." I nodded.
She scooped up a mouthful of medicine with a wooden spoon, blew it around her lips, and brought it to my mouth. I immediately opened my mouth and sucked it up. Although the medicine was bitter, I felt sweet in my heart. I had waited for this moment for more than ten days, and finally it came.
"Should I ask Yingchun to feed you?" Yunwen asked me.
"Why call her? She's clumsy. Come on, don't you want to feed me?" I asked.
She quickly shook her head, bit her lip and smiled, "No, you're willing to sacrifice your life for me, so it doesn't matter if I feed you a few bites. It's just that you kissed her in front of everyone that day, and her sister said you were boyfriend and girlfriend, and you didn't deny it. In name, she is still your girlfriend."
I couldn't help but laugh out loud. After all this time, what she cared about was her status. So I put down the earthen bowl of soup in her hand and held up her hands.
He smiled and said, "It's the 21st century now. A kiss means you're my girlfriend? Is that possible? In Western countries, people have to kiss when they meet. Do they have to be lovers? Such a relationship would be so messy. Besides, I wanted to say it that day, but Yingchun blocked my mouth and I didn't say it. If you really care about this, I can write a divorce letter or a breakup letter. What do you think?"
She covered her mouth and laughed, her face blushing. This was the brightest and most beautiful smile she had had in these days, as if her face was full of colorful flowers. She was already pretty, and her eyes were starry, with a faint upturned corner of her mouth and a perfect curve. She was so beautiful that I couldn't describe it. I was fascinated by her.
"Don't make such jokes, but you should still tell people clearly what to do and not make it unclear, okay?" Yunwen said.
I saw some meaning in her eyes and understood her intention. She just wanted me to announce it again and cancel what Bai Lu said. What's the difficulty? I had already laid the groundwork before. It's just that Yunwen wanted to hear it and wanted to clarify the matter, so I just went along with her.
"Okay, after I finish taking the medicine, you call everyone over. I also have to talk about our next arrangements. As you can see, it's not safe up there. Those gorillas may come back at any time. They are brutal, so we have to take precautions. So, can we continue feeding the medicine now?" I asked.
She bit her lip, blushed, and smiled secretly, but quickly stopped and said, "Don't you have hands yourself?"
"Yes, but the medicine you feed will be sweeter."
"Hate!"
