I restrained Lao Hui, and a group of gorillas started to whimper and scream, and their so-called sacrificial ceremony could not go on. What's the matter, brother, I have dealt with big bosses of black forces before, and carried out many special combat missions. I am very familiar with this old method of restraining the head and protecting myself.
I grabbed Old Gray by the neck and lifted him up, then shouted to the gorillas, "If you dare to get close to me, I'll throw him off the cliff!"
After saying that, I specifically asked Lao Hui to move a few inches with my elbow, and immediately got closer to the steep cliffs. The gorillas screamed and even the four-armed white ape seemed anxious. I heard that Lao Hui had lived for five hundred years, so he was the ancestor of all the gorillas present, and the father of the overlord gorilla and the four-armed white ape. He might not be the leader, but he must be a respected elder.
Besides, it is a priest after all. If these descendants want to achieve immortality, don’t they have to rely on it?
My threat to it had a deterrent effect to some extent. People with common sense would often be restrained by human ethics. These gorillas are no different. They would not watch me abandon their elders and ignore them.
At this moment, the old gray man could only gesture with his hands, trying to say some sign language to make peace with me. I could only apologize to him and tell him that he couldn't see!
I locked its neck even tighter, and its look of fear was beyond words. Those who love life must fear death.
But I couldn't hold on for long. The energy in my body was drained by the Golden Que Sword, and I was still weak and tired. I was also burned by the ghost fire for a long time, so my internal organs must have been damaged. Although I am tough now, I am just holding on, like a spent bowel movement. Therefore, I have to find another way to benefit.
Here, to my right is the edge of a cliff that is a hundred feet high, and the rest of the directions are already filled with gorillas, who are roaring at me noisily. This full-moon night makes all things restless, and at this moment they are irritated by me, and they seem to want to tear me into pieces. Therefore, if I try to force my way through, the result will definitely not be very good.
Having ruled out this possibility, I now require another approach, which is the only thing I can do at the moment, but it is somewhat of a gamble, the gamble being whether their cognitive ability is sufficient.
I was gasping for breath. The burning pain in my body and the lack of energy and blood made me feel exhausted. Time was running out. Although the old gray beside me had lived a long life and had human intelligence, it had also gained the cowardice and fear in human nature and had become timid. Therefore, I deduced that even if I let it go, it would not fight with me right away because it was afraid of me.
With this inference, I gave it a try.
Looking at the countless apes staring at me fiercely, I quickly calculated the distance from the cliff. The moonlight was pouring down and I could see clearly. It was roughly within five steps. So I pushed Old Gray away suddenly. The apes immediately became restless. At this time, I immediately moved two steps to the left, raised the Yinxi Pot, and aimed it at the edge of the cliff.
The gorillas immediately stopped making a sound and stood there like wooden chickens, not daring to even move an inch.
"Fortunately, we won the bet. They know that it is this pot that gives them the opportunity to live forever, and they know that they can't rely on Lao Hui. Now I can say that I have truly strangled their lifeline." I hissed.
The old man came forward, made signs at me, and kept bowing and kowtowing, trying to trick me again. I scolded him coldly and ignored him.
While they were afraid to move, I shouted towards the bronze tripod, "Yunwen, come here quickly, to my side."
Then, Yunwen crawled out from under the bronze tripod and walked over in front of all the gorillas. She believed me, otherwise, if the Song sisters were here, they would be scared to death and would never dare to show up easily and attract the attention of everyone.
She lowered her head and rushed over to my side. The gorillas were really stunned, just like the one, two, three, statues we played when we were children. Their pause was different at this moment, just like in the game, they became wooden figures, afraid that I would see their movement.
Lao Hui gestured towards Yunwen again, hoping to get negotiation conditions.
Yunwen leaned close to me, parsed for a moment, and translated: "It is very sorry, and hopes you can forgive it. Please be sure to return the treasure, and it will let us go down the mountain."
Speaking of negotiation, this guy is really still at the level of an ape-man, too stupid. Even if he intends to continue to deceive me, he had better have a condition that convinces me. Only if I believe in it, will it be possible to continue the negotiation. The first sentence he said when he came up to me was to make a request to me. His sense of purpose was too strong and it instantly aroused my disgust.
Secondly, negotiation requires listening, asking, answering, observing and narrating, which are the five key points. It lacks any of them, which makes it hard for me to believe it, and it immediately makes me see its true purpose.
"Tell it that if it dares to come any closer, I will throw this pot off the mountain," I said.
Yunwen immediately used sign language, and Lao Hui immediately became furious, wailing and crying, without the pleading look he had just had, he was extremely angry and frustrated.
The two sides were in a stalemate under the moonlight. I was holding the pot and had the initiative for the time being, so they didn't dare to come forward casually. If Yunwen and I left the edge of the cliff at this moment, we would immediately lose our threat and be torn to pieces by these violent gorillas. Therefore, the negotiations were basically at a stalemate.
Unexpectedly, at this time, several gorillas came up and took my Golden Sword. Lao Hui then made sign language to Yunwen. As soon as I saw it circling its hands in front of its chest, I knew that this meant a transaction.
"Zhou Bo, do you want to exchange? If we exchange, the balance between the two sides will be broken. If a confrontation is formed, the cliff where we are will become our geographical disadvantage." Yunwen analyzed.
"That's right. We have no advantage against it. Tell it not to change," I said.
However, just after I finished speaking, my consciousness suddenly became dazed for a moment, and I seemed to hear faintly a woman's voice on the left, speaking a mysterious language. The voice was ethereal and mysterious, sometimes surging, sometimes low and dull, sometimes high-pitched and singing, and sometimes sobbing. My ears were affected by this for a moment, and when I looked to the left, I saw that the Yinxi Pot in my hand seemed to emit a faint green mist, which spread to me.
And in the hazy fog, I seemed to see many hideous faces that wanted to swallow me!
Just when I was about to drop it out of fear, my hands suddenly felt empty and all the scary illusions disappeared in an instant. By then I realized that the pot in my hand had been snatched away by an orangutan that had climbed down from the cliff at some point. It snatched the pot away and scurried past me. I hurriedly chased it and grabbed its tail.
The gorilla turned around to fight back at me, but I dodged it in time, and when it swung hard, it accidentally dropped the pot to the ground. The lid of the pot opened again, and the ghost fire was reignited in an instant. The eerie and terrifying woman's voice howled in all directions, mournful and terrifying. Countless mists spread out, like a demon from hell returning to the world.
At this moment, the bronze tripod started to emit ghost fire, and all the nearby gorillas were engulfed by the evil fire without exception, including the dominant gorilla. It screamed miserably and jumped and smashed things agitatedly, causing many gorillas to be infected by the evil fire and burned alive. It ran around wildly, not only breaking the tree trunks, but also killing many of its own kind.
After the giant gorilla went crazy, he hit his chest and screamed at the top of his lungs. Then he actually lifted up the bronze tripod and threw it off the cliff. Suddenly, a loud bang could be heard throughout the mountain.
As expected of the Overlord Orangutan, his skill in lifting the tripod is similar to that of the Overlord of Chu...
But then, the will-o'-the-wisp did not stop, and it and several other gorillas were burned into a pile of black matter. Some white crystals could actually be seen, and surprisingly, the four-armed white ape walked over and rummaged through the ashes of the corpse. After finding the crystals, he swallowed them up in one gulp without hesitation.
