The giant mandrill walked towards us slowly, and the other mandrills that surrounded us dispersed and made way for us.
The giant mandrill stopped about three or four meters away from us, glanced at us with its round, red eyes, and suddenly stood upright, raised its head, and opened its huge mouth. He let out an extremely powerful roar.
The roar of the giant mandrill was deafening, and I felt as if my head was going to explode. Needless to say, the roar we heard before came from the monster in front of us.
Hearing the roar of the giant mandrill, the group of mandrills immediately became ready to move and slowly approached us. Everyone was extremely nervous, clenching the weapons in their hands, and getting ready for a fight to the death.
But at this moment, the giant mandrill let out another low roar, and the group of mandrills retreated one after another, as if they had received some order.
The giant mandrill lowered its head and brought its huge head close. The air exhaled from its nasal cavity sprayed onto our faces. I immediately smelled an unpleasant stench and felt my stomach churn. I almost vomited it out.
The giant mandrill’s eyes are almost as big as lead balls, they are blood red, and they look terrifying. But now it is staring at us with these daunting eyes, its mouth is slightly open, and the corners of its mouth are exposed. With two sharp fangs, no one dared to move or even make the slightest sound, for fear of accidentally alerting the giant beast in front of us. If it attacks us, just slap it and it will be like Like swatting flies and mosquitoes, he could swat several of us to pieces.
Chen Biao and Weizi pointed their guns at the giant mandrill's eyes, but they did not dare to shoot rashly, because as long as the gunshots were fired, it would be equivalent to "declaring war" on the giant monster. I don't dare to take this risk.
The giant mandrill didn't seem to be in a hurry to kill us. It made a strange "gurgling" sound in its mouth, as if it was talking to us, but because we couldn't understand it, we didn't dare to talk. Just looked at it nervously.
Just when we didn't know what to do, a huge wave suddenly appeared on the lake not far away. The giant mandrill immediately turned its head and let out an ear-splitting roar at the lake.
The other mandrills seemed a little panicked, especially those near the lake. They all retreated to the shore, as if they were escaping from something.
The attention of the entire mandrill group was instantly attracted by the huge waves rolling on the lake.
Seeing this situation, Wen Qingshan immediately said to everyone in a very low voice: "Our opportunity has come,"
"What chance?" I asked puzzled.
"A chance to escape," Wen Qingshan said.
I thought Wen Qingshan meant that we took the opportunity to rush out. I turned around and glanced at the arched corridor. There were still many mandrills guarding the entrance of the corridor. It was almost impossible to rush through.
"How are you going to escape?"
Wen Qingshan said: "Pay attention to the expressions of these mandrills. They all look extremely frightened, as if they have encountered a natural enemy. I guess there must be something under the water that scares them. This is probably why these mandrills want to The reason why the nest is built on the roof of the cave is to avoid things in the water, so as long as things in the water come out later, I guess the mandrill will not be able to care about us."
"But what if this monster doesn't show up," I asked rhetorically.
Wen Qingshan smiled slightly: "Then let's force it out," he said, turning to Chen Biao and said: "Captain Chen, please throw a grenade into the lake."
Chen Biao understood this and immediately took off a grenade from his body, pulled the ring, raised his hand, and threw it into the lake more than ten meters away.
After a while, with a loud "bang", a huge wave was set off on the lake surface, and some loose stalagmites on the top of the cave were even shaken off and fell into the lake.
The group of mandrills were obviously frightened by the loud noise caused by the grenade explosion. They immediately scattered in all directions and quickly fled along the cave wall towards the caves at the top of the cave.
Only the huge giant mandrill did not leave immediately. It roared at the lake again, turned its head and stared at a few of us, and then slowly followed the three or four meters in diameter. Giant stalagmites climbed to the top of the cave and penetrated into the largest cave on the top of the cave.
But in the blink of an eye, the group of mandrills that had just surrounded us all fled back to their nests, and not a single one of them disappeared.
Everyone couldn't recover from the sudden change. After a while, Long Yi said in a daze: "Can we be considered as surviving from a desperate situation?"
Ouyang Yi gave Wen Qingshan a thumbs up and praised: "Mr. Wen's method is still reliable."
Wen Qingshan hurriedly said: "I didn't expect that a grenade could scare away these mandrills. I just wanted to force the monsters out of the water and then leave in the chaos."
Ouyang Yi analyzed: "The mandrills must have heard the explosion of the grenade, and when they saw the huge waves on the lake, they thought it was a monster in the water, so they were scared away."
"But what is there in the water? Why does even that giant mandrill seem to be afraid?" I felt very puzzled. It would be normal to say that those small mandrills were scared away, but the problem was that The huge mandrill actually escaped back into the cave, which is a bit unreasonable. I really can't imagine anything else that can pose a threat to that giant beast.
Others were also puzzled. When everyone was wondering, Weizi suddenly pointed his hand towards the lake and shouted: "Look what's going on there."
Looking in the direction he was pointing, I saw that on the lake, the water in a circular body of water about seven or eight meters in diameter was trembling violently. From a distance, it looked as if it had been boiled.
Everyone was stunned because they didn't know what was going on. Everyone stood in front of the arched corridor, ready to evacuate at any time.
However, after waiting for about half a minute, the water surface became calm again.
"What's going on?" Weizi asked in a low voice.
Long Yi analyzed: "The trembling water just now was round in shape. In my opinion, it should not be natural imagination." He still believed that it was caused by the activation of a mechanism, but what kind of mechanism it was and what would happen next, he could not say. Come.
However, Wen Qingshan had a different view. He frowned and said: "When the crocodile was underwater, similar situations were occasionally seen on the water surface, and we just found footprints similar to those of the crocodile, so I still think it is very possible that the crocodile is under the water." A giant crocodile lurks,"
Speaking of that huge footprint, I suddenly thought of the huge mandrill, and immediately said: "Boss Wen, maybe that footprint was left by that mandrill. I think that mandrill's legs are also quite strong. "
Wen Qingshan said: "If you look at the size alone, they are indeed similar, but the shapes are very different. They should not be the footprints left by the mandrill."
As we were talking, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a stone on the shore of the lake about ten meters away from us. caused by light.
Out of curiosity, I walked slowly towards the stone.
Seeing me suddenly walking towards the lake without saying a word, Wen Qingshan quickly reached out to hold me and asked, "Shi Yu, what are you doing?"
I pointed my hand towards the stone and said, "That stone can reflect light. I think it's a little special, so I want to go and have a look."
Wen Qingshan stared at the stone for a while, frowned and said: "Maybe it's just a relatively bright quartz stone. It's too dangerous in the lake, so there's no need to risk your life to check it out." At this point, he added He turned to Ouyang Yi and said: "Dr. Ouyang, this ghost place is really too big. Not to mention whether the evil stone is hidden here, even if it is really hidden here, if we want to find it, I'm afraid it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack. What's more, our preparations today are insufficient. In my opinion, we should come back on that day."
After hearing what Wen Qingshan said, Ouyang Yi did not respond immediately, but also focused on the reflective stone. He stared at the stone and said thoughtfully: "According to records, that The appearance of the evil stone is very smooth and translucent, and it can also reflect light. Do you think that stone could be the evil stone we are looking for?"
"What," Wen Qingshan obviously didn't expect that Ouyang Yi would think so. He looked at the stone and said in surprise: "Dr. Ouyang, are you kidding? That evil stone is so important, how could it be so casually used?" The earth is thrown beside this underground lake,"
Ouyang Yi smiled and said: "I'm just saying that there is such a possibility. Since we are already here, why not go over and see what happens."
I originally thought that I was more curious, but I didn't expect that Ouyang Yi was more curious than me.
Wen Qingshan raised his head and looked at the mandrill nest on the top of the cave. There was no movement at the moment, but he still said with concern: "This place is really not suitable to stay for a long time, not to mention whether there is anything in the lake. If we go When we were at the lake, those mandrills came back and blocked our retreat, I'm afraid we wouldn't have a chance to leave here again,"
Ouyang Yi frowned and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Well, Long Yi and I will go over and take a look. You guys are waiting for us here. If something unexpected happens, you don't need to worry about us and leave as soon as possible."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Biao immediately said: "How can that be done? We are here just to protect you, Doctor. How can we ignore you and leave first? If you want to go, I will go with you."
