At this moment, Xiao Bai, who was about to draw the second arrow, saw the mandrill rushing in front of him, but it was too late to dodge.
Seeing the mandrill swing towards his front paw, Xiao Bai quickly leaned back, trying to avoid the blow.
But obviously, the mandrill moves faster.
With a tearing sound, Xiao Bai's shirt on his upper body was torn directly by this grab.
Just when Xiao Bai lost his balance and thought that he was doomed, the mandrill looked at the pattern on Xiao Bai's chest and immediately stopped attacking.
Immediately after, it roared unwillingly, and then turned to look at Si Si.
"Sisi! Tear off your clothes! This thing is afraid of the Gu insect pattern!"
Seeing Xiao Bai fall to the ground, the mandrill did not continue the attack but turned to him.
What's going on?
Si Si was feeling baffled.
After hearing Xiao Bai's words, she suddenly understood what was going on.
After a moment, Sisi gritted his teeth and pulled open the buttons of his shirt, revealing the location of the totem.
Just as Xiao Bai said, the mandrill glanced at the totem, roared to the sky again unwillingly, and then fled out of the ancestral hall as if running away.
"Hoo, ho..."
Watching the mandrill leave, Xiao Bai struggled to sit up, breathing heavily in shock.
Although he didn't know why the mandrill chose to run away after seeing the marks on his and Si Si's chests, Xiao Bai felt extremely lucky to be alive and uninjured.
Seeing that Xiao Bai was fine, Si Si hung the crossbow back to his side, and then reached out to the wooden box again.
The wooden box has no padlock.
While Xiao Bai was dusting himself off, Si Si had already opened the box.
Then, a seal the size of a fist appeared in front of the two people.
"this……"
Looking at this square seal, Xiao Bai narrowed his eyes slightly.
With all his accumulated knowledge over the years, he was unable to tell what material this large earth-yellow seal was made of.
It was neither gold nor jade, and it was not some kind of seal stone as he recognized it. Moreover, as soon as the box was opened, a faint scent of vegetation came out.
After looking at each other, Xiao Bai reached out and gently picked up the square seal.
The material of the seal was very warm. Xiao Bai scratched it gently with his fingernail, and a faint white scratch appeared on the seal.
Turning the seal over, Xiao Bai couldn't help but feel even more strange when he saw that there was no writing or pattern engraved on the place where the seal was supposed to be.
This seal doesn't look like an ancient relic, at least his system didn't give any prompts.
"Sisi, do you know what material this is made of?"
Hearing Xiao Bai's words, Si Si shook his head.
"I don't know, but it smells pretty good."
"Let's go. I just took a look. There's nothing else here. Business is important. Let's drive the car back a little bit after we get out and see if we can find where we went the wrong way."
As soon as the two of them turned around and prepared to leave, Xiao Bai heard a whirring sound coming from outside the main hall of the ancestral hall.
With a trace of doubt, Xiao Bai nervously held the crossbow in his hand again.
Carefully step out of the hall.
At this moment, the outer walls of the ancestral hall, the roof, and several old trees were filled with crows.
Seeing the crows staring at him, Xiao Bai couldn't help but shudder.
This scene really shocked him. The originally lifeless ancestral hall looked a little weirder because of the appearance of these crows.
And just when Xiao Bai was wondering why so many crows suddenly appeared.
Several wild monkeys stumbled in from outside the ancestral hall.
After entering the door, the monkey didn't pay attention to Xiao Bai and Si Si who were still in the courtyard, but went straight into the main hall where the wooden box had just been placed.
Seeing that the wooden box was empty at this moment, several wild monkeys became violent. They beat the wooden box crazily, as if they had endless hatred for it.
Just when Xiao Bai was wondering if these monkeys had any infectious disease, Xiao Bai saw a three- to four-centimeter-long black insect crawling out from the eye of a monkey with its fat figure twisting.
Then, nostrils, ears, mouth...
As bugs continued to crawl out of its seven orifices, the monkey's expression became extremely ferocious and painful.
It banged its head against the wall desperately, looking like it couldn't bear the pain.
Immediately afterwards, several other monkeys also appeared in the same situation.
As bugs continued to crawl out of several monkeys' bodies, the monkeys' struggling strength continued to weaken. After a while, they fell to the ground and lingered on.
Seeing more and more bugs crawling all over the floor of the hall, with only a circle of pure earth left next to the smashed wooden box, Xiao Bai and Si Si looked at each other.
It seems that this square seal has the effect of repelling insects.
Just when the two were about to say something.
With bursts of wah-wah cries.
The crows parked in the courtyard took action. They flew into the ancestral hall and began to eat insects on the ground.
As the insects on the ground were swept away, several monkeys were no longer breathing, and the crows shifted their target to the monkeys.
Soon, the monkey's fur was torn open by the crow's sharp beak, and the crows began to eat the monkey's flesh.
In just a few minutes, several monkeys were pecked until only their skeletons were left.
And this was not the end, some larger crows began to use their claws to grab the monkey bones scattered on the ground, flew high, and then threw them down in the air. After the bones were broken, they began to suck the marrow from them. .
This scene made Li and Ming feel numb all over, and it took them a while to come back to their senses.
"Sisi, this..."
"Well, this square seal should have the effect of suppressing insect pests, and there have been many insect pests near Yunling since ancient times."
"I suspect that there is something unclean in the nearby water source or other places, and the bugs have entered the animals' bodies and infected them."
"The animals living here have been passed down from generation to generation. I don't know how long ago they knew that there is something here that can suppress the bugs in their bodies. Because it has been long enough, this information has even been engraved in their DNA, so these monkeys will Came here in such a hurry."
"And the mandrill lying on the roof is probably to suppress the insect poison in his body. The totem on your and my chest is essentially an insect poison, a more powerful insect than the one it infects, so it doesn't want to Come into contact with us and flee in panic.”
"As for these birds, they must have developed a habit. When they see animals running here, they know that some unlucky animals will not be able to suppress the bugs in their bodies and will die here, so they fly here and wait. Feast."
Listening to Si Si's words, Xiao Bai saw that in such a short period of time, there was nothing left on the ground of the hall. Even the blood of the monkeys flowing on the ground was licked clean by the crows. shudder.
"Then, should we put this square seal back?"
As soon as the words came out, Xiao Bai subconsciously slapped his mouth with his hand, wondering if he was crazy.
