I was stunned for a moment, wondering what was going on, why could my face still crack? Is your skin so dry? But before I could take a closer look, the monster below pulling my ankle suddenly exerted force and pulled me staggering. This thing was so powerful that I couldn't resist it, so I had no choice but to follow its strength and jump down. Then I grabbed a nearby bronze branch with one hand and put the other hand against the monster's throat and shot it. With a bang, its head was knocked off.

The gun was fired too reluctantly, and the huge recoil almost threw me off the branch. I gritted my teeth to ensure that I didn't miss the gun. The headless corpse on one side was lifted off the bronze tree by the gun's momentum, but it His hands were still firmly grasping my feet, and the whole body hung at my feet, pulling me straight down.

I couldn't bear the weight of two people with one hand. I gritted my teeth and lowered my head, trying to find a foothold to stand on. Then I tried to think of a way to throw the corpse off. Only then did Cai give me a crack on the face of the monster. Suddenly I hung upside down, a claw caught my neck, and lifted me up. My neck seemed to be wrapped in a tight spell, not even a breath of air could get in, and my face immediately turned red from holding it in. In desperation, I started to take the shot. He hit it on the head.

I had used all my strength. If I had hit someone in the face with those few blows, they would have been completely destroyed. The monster was also blinded by the blows. It kept shaking its head trying to avoid it. I hit the right blow just in time. Hitting the crack on the monster's face, it screamed strangely, suddenly let go of its claws, jumped onto the branch above my head, and grabbed its own face frantically.

I lost support and all the weight returned to my hands. I lost my grip and fell more than a meter. I quickly hugged a protruding bronze branch to stop my body. When I looked up, I saw the face of the monster. It completely shattered and turned into small pieces of white fragments, which began to fall off like skin.

Soon, all the white fragments fell down. I caught a piece and it turned out to be made of stone. Are these people all statues? Looking up again, I saw that after the stone face fell off, there was a face covered with yellow hair inside.

I took a closer look at that face, and suddenly realized it, and shouted to the person below: Old Itchy! I know what these dogs are, these are fucking monkeys, big monkeys!

Lao Itch was in the darkness below and couldn't see clearly what was going on. He only heard him reply: Monkey, your grandfather! How can any monkey have a human face? That would be bad!

I yelled, That's not a human face! That's a mask! These monkeys are wearing stone human face masks!!

Lao Itch had climbed up from the darkness below, and his clothes were almost torn into strips. He shouted at me: No matter what it is! What about the monkey, can you beat it?

I looked under him and saw black shadows below. I don’t know how many monkeys with masks were chasing after me. I climbed up a few meters more. When I opened the magazine, I saw that the red bullets had been used up, and there were only a few blue bullets left. They were probably not iron sand bullets.

It was the kind of big steel ball bullets, which had good long-range power, but were not as good as iron sand like artillery. When I saw the monkey following me, I quickly held the handle of the gun with both hands and fired two shots downwards.

The steel ball bullets dispersed, and their power was reduced a lot, but the effect of large-scale damage was still exerted. The nearest monkeys were beaten to a bloody pulp, and many were shot in the distance. If there could be five consecutive rounds, I could even kill them all.

The monkeys seemed to be frightened by the power of the racquet. They all slowed down their approach and turned around to follow Lao Itch in pursuit of Master Liang. The monkey who broke the mask for me started to get scared when he saw us. He bared his teeth at us and backed away as fast as he could. Lao Itch looked at me strangely and asked: Holy shit, it's really a monkey. ,How is this going?

I also felt very strange in my heart, who put the masks on these monkeys? And why bring it? There are neither eye holes nor mouth holes on the mask. How do these monkeys survive?

Master Liang had already pulled us down more than ten meters and was lying there panting. We quickly caught up with him and found that he was already in a trance. Fortunately, the branches were dense in that place and he was standing there so that he would not fall off. It fell halfway down his body and got stuck between three branches.

Lao Itch went over and picked up the torch, and knocked down the maskless monkey with his other hand. He was completely out of bullets, and he wanted to smash the pistol down, but when he raised his hand halfway, he was reluctant and threw it away. He inserted it back into his belt, then raised the torch and waved it downwards, trying to use the flames to drive the monkeys back. Those monkeys were indeed a little afraid. Wherever the torch was swept, they all shrank back. But as soon as the torch was removed, they quickly pressed over again, giving us no chance to breathe.

Lao Itch waved there for a long time, but instead of driving them away, the encirclement became smaller and smaller. I pulled Master Liang, and he couldn't move like a puddle of mud. Lao Itch shouted: Leave him alone. I can’t stand it anymore, so withdraw!”

I was so angry that I really wanted to kick Master Liang down, but this guy was not a very evil person, so I really couldn't do it at this time. I lifted him up and pulled him up hard, but his butt fell from between the two branches instead. Things get worse.

Lao Itch used a torch to scare away a monkey and yelled at me: Damn it! What are you doing? This guy is not one of our group. If everything goes well, he might have killed you, you fucking Don’t give preferential treatment to prisoners there.”

I loaded the bullet and fired two more times. The two loud noises sent five monkeys flying and pushed the group of monkeys nearly six meters. Then I grabbed the last two bullets and just wanted to finish the fight. Suddenly Master Liang grabbed my hand and said feebly: These things are afraid of fire, flares...

When I heard this, I suddenly woke up. Lao Itch reacted quickly. He had already taken out the flare gun, took a look at it and asked me: How to fight? It's useless to hit him directly!

I grabbed the signal gun and fired it at the opposite rock wall. The signal bomb hit the rock dozens of meters away like lightning, and then bounced back and hit the bronze tree. It bounced like this two or three times like lightning. Suddenly, the monkeys The medium explosion lit up, and the extremely high temperature suddenly burned the monkeys into running around. I didn't wait for the first shot to go out, and fired two more shots, and suddenly the entire cavity lit up with a dazzling white light.

Lao Itch was so blinded by the light that he almost fell. I pushed his head to the side and shouted, Don't look! It's too close. It's a hundred times more powerful than electric welding. It will burn out the retina!

The three people closed their eyes at the same time, but they could still feel the light almost penetrating their eyelids. The monkeys were driven crazy by the strong light, and they could only hear a chaos below, and at the same time, there was a smell of burnt flesh.

I don’t know how long it took before the strong light dimmed. I squinted my eyes and looked down. The monkey was gone. My eyes were burning and my vision was very blurry. Lao Itch burst into tears and rubbed it with his hands desperately. Master Liang completely fainted this time. In the past, if I hadn't been holding his collar, he would have fallen down.

I saw that the monkeys were gone and I breathed a sigh of relief. I don’t know if they were afraid of the high temperature or the bright light. If they had looked directly at the bright light, ten or ninety percent of them would have been blinded. I couldn't recover for less than ten days and a half, so I breathed a sigh of relief, slapped Master Liang awake, grabbed his arm, lifted his body upright, and wanted to drag him up, but this guy was really too strong. This time, I could only straighten him up, but there was nothing I could do to get him out of his original position.

After he sat firmly, I moved aside to look at Lao Itchi. He squinted his eyes, cursed and spat at the same time, but he was finally able to see, and asked me: You don't know what to do before you fucking do it. If you make me blind, I will fight you.

I cursed: Damn it, you still have the nerve to say this, do you know that I saved your life? Besides, aren't you blind?

Lao Itch looked down: Don't tell me, this trick really works. Did the monkeys run away or were they all burned to death?

I told him that it was unlikely that he would be burned to death. He probably retreated temporarily and might come back again. But since we had found a way to deal with them, we were not afraid. We still had a few flares left, which would be enough to deal with them. times. Lao Itch asked me again what this thing was. I thought about it and scolded him. You've been here once and you don't even know what it is. Who should I ask if you ask me? It's strange to say that you, bastard, are you here? Yes, why don’t you know anything?

Lao Itch left me speechless, and I kept wondering in my heart. The mask the monkey wore was made with fine workmanship and was carved just like a real person. Could it be related to the realistic statue we saw on the cliff? ? But why did they attack us?

I have read a novel before, saying that an ancient civilization trained gorillas to guard mines. After the ancient civilization was destroyed, these gorillas still passed on the killing training they received when guarding mines to the next generation through education. In this way, thousands of years later, the descendants of the gorillas still guard the remains of the mines, and are slaughtered by future expeditions.

But these are monkeys. They are obviously not as smart as gorillas. They should not be able to do such difficult things. I originally wanted to ask Master Liang what these monkeys meant, but seeing Master Liang’s face, I knew how to ask. It's all in vain, this person is completely on the verge of collapse, if he doesn't rest, he may be scrapped.

We stayed in that place for more than ten minutes, and no more monkeys were seen poking their heads out from below. We finally breathed a sigh of relief. Lao Itch took out some food and wanted us to eat it. We all refused because we were not hungry now. problem, but a lack of rest. Even if you give us glucose directly, I won't be able to walk.

I sat on a few branches, pillowing my head with my backpack, and began to doze off unconsciously. Lao Chi and Master Liang were in a daze, but did not stop me. Just when I was about to fall asleep, a series of sudden The sound of impact came from above, and at the same time the entire bronze tree shook violently, as if a huge monster was climbing down.

I thought it was bad. I had just taken care of the monkey and alerted something big. Maybe King Kong came down from above. I didn't know where to hide. Suddenly, a black shadow fell down like lightning and slammed into the three of them. Between the branches, a smelly liquid splashed into my face.

The impact was so severe that the entire bronze tree was shaken and I almost fell off. All three of us were frightened to death and it took a long time to react.

Lao Itch was the first to calm down and held up a high torch to invite us over to see what had fallen. When we got closer, we found that it was actually a person. He was stuck between the bronze tree branches, his body was twisted unnaturally, his eyes were wide open, his face was covered with blood, his ribs were broken out, and it was obvious that he had fallen to his death from a high altitude.

Lao Itch reached over to shine the torch on his face, and suddenly shouted: I'm Uncle Tai of that turtle. This old guy was in front of us, no wonder we haven't seen them yet!

Master Liang trembled* and went over, looked up, and pressed Uncle Tai's chest again. A stream of blood poured out from the mouth and nose of the corpse. He sighed and said: Falled to death from a high altitude, all internal organs were broken. How could you fall down so carelessly?

I looked at his feet. The bones had been poked out, and the whole body was almost unnaturally twisted. It should have been caused by constantly hitting the bronze branches when he fell. Master Liang pressed his feet again. Four feet, took a breath and said: Brother Itch, you... tell me the truth, how high is it... Look at Uncle Tai, all the long bones are broken. He couldn't have fallen like this if he didn't have a hundred meters. .”

Lao Itch looked at us, as if he didn't know how to speak. After thinking for a while, he said, I don't know. I didn't measure it with a ruler. The last time I crawled, how long would it last?

I couldn't help but groan secretly in my heart. Our crazy climb just now only brought us up to about 50 to 60 meters. We are already so exhausted. How can we climb if the top is really that high? Even if you climb up to the top, you will probably have no strength at all. If you try to get water, you will fall into pieces like Uncle Tai.

Thinking of this, Master Liang and I both showed painful expressions.

Lao Itch should have crawled once before, and didn't feel that the previous one was too small. Seeing us like this, he hurriedly patted our shoulders and said, even if it's a few hundred meters, just run sideways and it'll be over in a few seconds. Now it's just It’s standing up, so there’s nothing to worry about. I said fuck your grandpa. According to what you said, Mount Everest is only 8,848 meters. You can ride a bicycle up to it in half an hour. We are not fighting against the force now. It's about dealing with gravity, you know?

Lao Itch waved his hand to me, saying that he didn't want to quarrel with me. After saying that, he went to unpack Uncle Tai's backpack and took out the things inside to see what we could use. At first glance, he was overjoyed. In the team, Uncle Tai and the young man named Er Mazi were carrying the main equipment. Most of the things were there, including pistol bullets, a few detonators, a flare gun, and ropes. The happiest thing was that they found a flashlight. I cāo , when I think about the situation in Thousand Coffins Cave where I was afraid that the torch would go out, I really want to put this flashlight over and kiss it a few times. High technology is good.

Lao Itch changed the magazine, sorted out other things, carried it on his back, and said to us: The group of fools must still be down there. We can't stay here for a long time. Let's take a rest and we have to go up soon. Taishan Everyone has climbed it, right? It’s 13 meters, and you have to go back and forth every day? If you have nothing to do, just treat it as a sightseeing trip.”

Master Liang's face improved slightly, he smiled bitterly, made a walking gesture with his fingers, and said: Brother Itch... Taishan walked up, just with his feet. We are going straight up and down now. How can this be possible? Speaking of one piece? And it is the style of the Five Mountains, with many strange rocks in the sea of ​​clouds. What are you looking at here?

Lao Itch kicked one side of the bronze tree and said, I'm just trying to make a fucking analogy. Although this bronze tree can't compare to the scenery of Mount Tai, it's at least spectacular, right? You two, please be accommodating. Victory is right in front of you. Come on, don’t be discouraged. Let’s grit our teeth and work hard to get to the top. It will definitely be a great view.”

I knocked on my calf, which was beginning to swell, and told him that I didn’t want to bite my teeth, but that I had no other choice. If I gritted my teeth again, the roots of my teeth would poke out from my chin. I can still squeeze out some strength, but Master Liang has half his life left now. Instead of rushing for a few minutes, it would be better to rest thoroughly.

Master Liang glanced at me gratefully, and Lao Chi sighed, saying that's fine, but he has to get rid of Uncle Tai's body, and it makes me feel uncomfortable to leave it here.

When I saw Uncle Tai’s distorted facial features and dead-eyed look, I didn’t feel anything special in my heart, but his eyes that popped out of their sockets were really a bit scary. At this time, I didn’t want to talk about morality and immorality with my mother-in-law. The two of them carefully tried to lift Uncle Tai's body from the branch.

If you fall from the high altitude here, you will definitely hit a lot of protruding bronze branches along the way. I am lucky that I didn't fall directly to the bottom and turn into mud. When I carried Uncle Tai's body, I found that Master Liang was right. His whole body was ridiculously soft, as if all his bones were broken. With a movement, a large amount of blood gushes out from his broken body, flowing along the branches into the lines on the bronze tree, and then along the ravine in the middle of the lines. Flow downward.

Master Liang and I saw this phenomenon at the same time and were both stunned. Master Liang immediately asked us to stop, turned on the flashlight and looked into the ravine, then looked at the bronze tree branches, and said: You two, I probably know What is this thing used for!
