Although Cui Ying's attention was mostly on the monkey, she still paid attention to the things in the hands of the two Mo brothers and sisters.
Unlike the machete that Team Leader Lu Bing occasionally took out to clear the way, these two were obviously decorative swords, with wooden sheaths instead of leather sheaths.
"You two are not going to tell me that you are martial arts masters?"
The Count also noticed what the brother and sister were holding and made a teasing remark.
"Ha~ My family taught me some sword techniques, so my eyesight and hand strength are better!"
Mo Shaoge explained, and Mo Qingxue added.
"To put it bluntly, I'm better at chopping people, and my sword and knife are more accurate when my hands don't shake!"
It didn't sound like a martial arts master at all. The count was actually imagining a meat chopper at a meat stall.
"Watch out, we can't see the camp now."
Lu Bing gave a reminder, then used the machete in his hand to chop a tree twice as a mark.
This area is in an undulating low-slope mountain forest area.
Only after leaving the mountain path did we discover that the lushness of the vegetation in the forest exceeded our previous imagination.
It is not surprising that there are a lot of weeds in the mountains where few people walk, but here the grass and trees are lush and there are not many dry plants. Everywhere you look, it feels lush and green, like a tropical rain forest, full of vitality.
This made the six people feel very strenuous, and their speed dropped again and again. Lu Bing's machete had already begun to swing left and right in front, creating some relatively easy walking space for the people behind.
"Captain, how long ago was the last time we came to our northern neighbor?"
Mo Shaoge asked Lu Bing in disbelief. They often travelled together in groups. Lu Bing had the best memory and he was usually the team leader.
Lu Bing was also very puzzled. He had always walked along the mountain trail before, where there were many rocks and many people walking, so he couldn't see it clearly.
The deeper we go, the more extravagant the vegetation becomes. Every plant is lush and green, and does not wilt at all even in the hottest weather.
After half an hour of rushing, it was like a different forest.
Have the vegetation of our northern neighbor all been fed with Jinkela?
"Not to mention the last time we came together, even when I took the government officials into the mountains a few months ago, I felt the same... well, maybe the weather was still cool then!"
“Ah~~~Hoo~~Ah~~~”
The monkey's voice was heard overhead from time to time, so when they looked up they could vaguely see its figure.
Walking here affects my vision so much that I can no longer pay attention to the monkeys' movements.
"How about we go back?"
Lu Bing began to back off.
"Come on, Captain, give me the machete. I'll take your place for a while. I'm a little reluctant to go back now. I guess Reporter Cui will be even more upset~"
As Mo Shaoge was quite skilled in using swords and knives, he saw that Lu Bing must be tired after hacking and slashing for a long time in the front.
When saying this, Mo Shaoge turned around and winked at Cui Ying, making Cui Ying feel helpless against this funny guy.
"good!"
Lu Bing didn't waste any time, handed over the machete and stepped back to rest.
The Earl muttered in the back: "Actually, you can insist on your opinion. I am easily persuaded..."
The three reporters had never experienced this kind of environment before, and it was completely different from the mountain documentaries they watched on TV.
Looking back, the road I came from was completely invisible and my phone had no signal at all. Fortunately, I made some marks along the way and the GPS still worked.
I don't know when the sky above my head had darkened a lot. The scorching sun that occasionally shone through the treetops now seemed to be blocked by the dark clouds, causing the visibility in the forest to drop several levels at once.
"Fuck! It's foggy? At this time!"
Mo Shaoge couldn't help but swear.
At this time, Lu Bing and others suddenly realized that the white light in the distance was already a bit blurry.
The vegetation in front of me is so lush that it has the effect of blocking my vision. I don’t know when this thin mist started to rise.
"Oh my god, I think this is the fog you are curious about..."
The Earl was nervous and said uncertainly.
"I'm afraid so... It's neither morning nor night, how could there be fog for no reason..."
Lu Bing responded and looked at the pretty female reporter. Is this girl too lucky or too unlucky?
"Everyone stop and follow the marks back! Don't worry about the monkeys!"
He shouted loudly towards the front, and the other five people stopped when they heard it. They were fed up with this difficult road.
“Oh~~~Hoo~~Ah~~~”
“Oh~~~~~Roar~~~”
The monkeys' screams once again echoed overhead, as if they were impatient with why the humans had stopped.
"Ignore them, let's go back!"
Now even Cui Ying did not object. After all, the situation was a little underestimated, and safety was more important.
"Pah~"
A branch hit Lu Bing's face and it hurt. He looked up and saw a monkey on a tree in front of them on their way back.
"Could this be caused by a monkey?"
Several people behind also saw Lu Bing being hit by a branch, but they didn't see clearly what happened.
But the answer came out soon, which was different from the previous time when there were only seven or eight monkeys at most.
More monkeys came from nowhere, and the forest was filled with the sounds of monkeys. A large number of them were in front of them on their way back, and several of them dropped the rotten fruits and branches in their hands.
"Fuck! Captain, have we disturbed the monkey's nest?!"
the Count cried out in exaggerated language.
There were loud chirping sounds all around, and I didn't know how many monkeys there were in the mist.
“Are there so many wild macaques here in Baiyun Mountain?”
Mo Shaoge asked in disbelief, then seemed to have thought of something and looked at the GPS hanging on Lu Bing's small shoulder bag.
"Damn! It's like it's damp again!"
Forget about using your cell phone, as there will be no signal once you enter the mountains.
"Forget about GPS. These monkeys are clearly not going to let us go back. Do you have any solution?"
"What else can we do? Charge!"
Mo Shaoge took the lead, returned the machete to Lu Bing, and transferred the sheathed long sword in his left hand to his right hand to use as a baseball bat.
"rush!"
He has good eyesight and can see clearly where the marks were made previously.
The six people ran back at a faster speed than when they came.
There was a loud cacophony of monkey calls in the trees, and the constant creaking of branches. Countless monkeys were moving to the front at an ever-increasing speed.
After the six people rushed for dozens of meters, a crackling sound forced them to stop.
Even with the scabbard swinging to block, Mo Shaoge still had no idea how many times he was hit. Except for his face, there was rotten fruit pulp, branches, weeds and mud everywhere.
Although the other five people were much better, they were still in a very miserable state.
Fortunately, I don’t know if it was because of the weight or because these monkeys had some bottom line, but none of them used stones to hit them, otherwise the six people would have had bloody heads.
“Have these monkeys really become spirits?”
When the Earl asked this question in astonishment, Cui Ying was thinking of the words that Tao Xingzhi whispered when she was under house arrest in the Shanghai Public Security Bureau.
Seeing that the humans had stopped, the monkeys also became strangely quiet after a while of noise.
More than ten seconds passed with the confrontation between the man and the monkey on the tree and under the tree.
Then some monkeys started calling again, and a few of them rushed to the direction where the people had originally followed before they turned back, calling "roar, roar, roar".
Even monkeys understand what that means, let alone humans.
"These monkeys are really smart!!!"
It was the same words again, but this time the Count used a tone of certainty and surprise.
So, after a discussion, the six people, either reluctantly or half excitedly, continued to move with the monkey group while making marks.
The scene looked like a group of monkeys escorting a group of embarrassed humans forward.
