Celestial being

"Master Yu..." Chen Wan looked at the young man being carried by Mandrill King, her beautiful eyes widened, and before she could say anything, she was covered by Yuan Ming.

The sound stopped suddenly, but luckily King Mandrill didn't notice it.

After he landed firmly, the other mandrills suddenly fell to the ground and lowered their heads stiffly, showing a surrender gesture.

As for Senior Brother Yu from the Fire Refining Hall, Mandrill King grabbed his neck with one arm and held him flat in front of him.

The latter's cheeks twitched, his expression was painful, and his eyes were tightly closed. He was obviously not unconscious, but he didn't even have the courage to open his eyes and take a look. His muscles were tense and his body was shaking. He was obviously extremely frightened.

Chen Wan's eyes were fixed on the fellow disciple, her mind was in confusion, and she finally lacked the courage to risk saving others.

At this time, he suddenly saw that man, Mandrill King, tapping his finger on the forehead of the unlucky Senior Brother Yu.

With a "pop" sound, his skull was easily pierced as if it were made of tofu, leaving a bloody hole.

A shrill howl sounded, and the sound echoed in the cave.

The Mandrill King's eyes were stern as he grabbed Senior Brother Yu who was struggling in pain and brought it to his mouth.

His mouth was opened, revealing a pair of sharp fangs, which moved closer to Senior Brother Yu's eyebrows. While biting them, he sucked at the blood hole.

The next moment, a stream of blood-red light emerged from the blood hole between his eyebrows, and was sucked up by the Mandrill King.

Senior Brother Yu's screams suddenly stopped, his figure withered, slowly slipped from the Mandrill King's hand, and fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the Mandrill King opened his hands and raised his head slightly, as if he was enjoying a gluttonous feast and was immersed in the wonderful feeling.

At the same time, his body actually emitted a green light, with little bits of light scattered in it.

The other mandrills were bathed in the green light and raised their heads one after another, as if they had received some kind of sublimation.

Yuan Ming was shocked by the scene in front of him and was stunned for a while. Chen Wan beside him also became unusually silent and his pretty face turned pale.

Not to mention the other Mandrills, if they fell into the hands of this Mandrill King, they would have absolutely no chance of survival and would only become the opponent's blood food. Their end would never be any better than Senior Brother Yu.

"boom"

At this moment, a wave of air suddenly rushed down from the gap above the cave, and the hot breath was filled with large amounts of sand, dust and leaves.

The entire underground cave shook violently, as if someone was attacking.

The Mandrill King looked up at the sky, suddenly let out a roar, and straightened up, rushing towards the exit above.

The other mandrills immediately started moving, like a swarm of bees following the queen bee. One by one, they climbed along the steep cave walls and rushed out one after another.

"I can go out now..." Yuan Ming felt happy when he saw this scene.

He glanced back at Chen Wan and told her to get ready. When everyone left, he would take her away from here.

However, after waiting for a long time, the mandrills crawled out of the underground cave one after another. Finally, there was one in the corner, always standing there and not following.

"What's going on with this guy? Why doesn't he move?" Yuan Ming was anxious.

Chen Wan also looked nervous. If they waited for the other mandrills to return to the cave, they would have no chance to escape.

She patted Yuan Ming's shoulder, and when Yuan Ming turned around to look over, she raised her hand and made a gesture of wiping his neck. Only by killing this mandrill as soon as possible could they leave safely.

Yuan Ming hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

He turned his head and was about to go down through the cave entrance when he suddenly saw the mandrill move.

He shook his head from side to side, as if he was watching the surrounding situation. When he saw no one around him, he suddenly turned around and walked to the left, out of sight of Yuan Ming and the others.

When Yuan Ming saw this scene, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"There's something wrong with that mandrill. Why does it seem to be intelligent?" He asked Chen Wan in a low voice.

When Chen Wan heard the sound, she poked her head out and took another look, and found that the mandrill was indeed missing.

"This... is impossible. Even if a king is born among the mandrills, there can only be one. There will never be two kings at the same time. Otherwise, a life-and-death struggle will break out between them, and it is absolutely impossible for them to coexist peacefully." Chen Wan I was a little confused for a while.

"No matter, let's escape first." Yuan Ming said.

After saying this, he immediately leaned out, climbed down quickly with his hands on the cave wall.

Chen Wan also climbed out quickly.

They came to the bottom of the hole where many mandrills rushed out, and then noticed that there was a hidden hole on the left side of the blind spot that they had just seen, leading to another direction.

Chen Wan looked at the hidden cave entrance with curiosity in her eyes.

"Don't get into trouble, it's business to escape quickly." Yuan Ming quickly reminded him when he saw this.

Chen Wan said softly "Yeah" and looked away.

"I'll go up and check the situation first." Yuan Ming warned, and began to use his hands and feet to climb up toward the entrance of the cave.

Only halfway up the climb, roars suddenly came from outside the cave.

Immediately afterwards, a shadow fell from the entrance of the cave, almost hitting Yuan Ming and falling to the ground.

Yuan Ming quickly dodged and pressed his body against the wall. He looked down and found that there was a mutilated corpse with only the upper body at Chen Wan's feet.

His clothes were stained with blood, and his face was covered with plasma. He could only be distinguished from his clothes, and he seemed to be a disciple of the Beast Taming Hall.

Yuan Ming's heart tightened, and suddenly he heard the killing shouts above his head getting closer and closer, and his face couldn't help but change.

He quickly turned over and landed, and said to Chen Wan: "There is a battle going on above, and the situation is unknown."

Before he finished speaking, the light at the hole above his head was suddenly obscured by a shadow.

Yuan Ming and Chen Wan looked up at the same time, and saw the back of the Mandrill King.

The two subconsciously dodged aside, seeing that the mandrill was about to return here, and it was too late to crawl back to the original cave entrance.

"Go this way."

Chen Wan greeted, turned around and ran towards the hidden hole on the left.

When Yuan Ming saw this, he could only follow him immediately.

The two of them ran one after another for half a quarter of an hour. The cave passage in front of them was twisting and turning, becoming increasingly narrow.

It didn't take long for them to reach the end.

"Why is there no way out?" Chen Wan asked doubtfully.

Along the way, they found no fork in the road, nor did they see the mandrill return. However, they reached the end of the dead end and never saw the strange mandrill again.

After Yuan Ming heard this, he stepped forward to explore and check, and suddenly found a crack close to the ground that was less than half a person's height and just wide enough for a person to pass through.

"Maybe he left from here." Yuan Ming said.

"That mandrill still knows how to bend down to drill holes. His spiritual intelligence is definitely not that of a newly enlightened mandrill. How did it manage to coexist peacefully with that mandrill king?" After Chen Wan took a closer look, her eyes became even more confused.

"Don't worry about that for now, we have to get out quickly, otherwise those mandrills will be here soon." Yuan Ming urged.

When Chen Wan heard this, she no longer hesitated and leaned forward to get through the crack.

Yuan Ming followed closely and got through.

Behind the crack, there was still a narrow and winding passage. Yuan Ming and the two walked cautiously through it for nearly a quarter of an hour, and finally walked out of the narrow passage.

The exit of the passage is also a narrow crack, and what is connected to the outside is a cave that is as large as two houses.

The light inside the cave is dim, but it is not pitch black. The surrounding stone walls are covered with a faint phosphorescent stone powder, which brings a faint light.

Yuan Ming and the others walked into the cave and saw a simple stone tablet about six feet high.

Under the rectangular monument is a stone carving base shaped like a tiger. The carving is not very exquisite, but it has an indescribable spiritual connotation, which makes it look quite oppressive.

Yuan Ming took a closer look and found that one side of the stone tablet was engraved with complex runes, and the other side was engraved with the two characters "Hu Tao" in southern Xinjiang script.

"What is this?" Yuan Ming asked.

Chen Wan was also observing carefully. After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "I don't know, it looks like some kind of suppressive object or boundary monument."

When Yuan Ming heard this, he stopped asking further questions and began to carefully examine other places in the cave.

But after looking around, he was surprised to find that there were no other entrances and exits around the cave except the crack through which they entered.

"This time it is really the end. There is no other way." Yuan Ming frowned.

"That's strange. If you didn't find the exit and didn't tell me, why is the mandrill missing?" Chen Wan also looked suspicious.

"Look again, it shouldn't be right." Yuan Ming sighed.

Upon hearing this, Chen Wan turned her wrist and fired three fireballs in a row, illuminating the entire cave.

The two used the light to carefully search the entire cave again, but still found nothing.

"Is it possible that there was a fork in the road on the way here that we didn't find?" Chen Wan asked hesitantly.

"Forget it, let's go back the way we came and look for it again. Even if we don't find the fork in the road, maybe those mandrills have left and we can get out," Yuan Ming said.

"good."

After the two discussed, they returned the same way and hurried back along the narrow passage.

When the two finally returned to the cave, they heard voices coming from inside before they could get out.

"No matter what, if you want to see someone alive, you want to see a corpse if you die." came a man's voice.

"He must be dead. In that situation, there is absolutely no possibility of coming back alive..." The woman's determined voice sounded.

…

This voice sounded familiar, and Yuan Ming couldn't help but be startled.

"There won't be any accidents, right?" At this time, a timid voice sounded.

Hearing this voice, Yuan Ming suddenly woke up and when he was about to stop Chen Wan beside him, she had already rushed out.

"Are you a fellow disciple of Biluo Cave?" Chen Wan shouted anxiously.

"Don't……"

As soon as Yuan Ming shouted the word "goodbye", three people at the other end of the cave had already heard the sound and ran over.

Surprisingly, it was Kuntu, Yangchan and Bada.
