Wuming jumped down from the tree, and everyone gathered around him. Their eyes were full of expectation, hoping to gain something. Wuming opened his hand and showed the thing in his hand to everyone. They saw that it was a piece of blue cloth. fragments.
"This is from my Xiaoyun's clothes!" Ke Zhenxing recognized the fragment from his child's clothes at a glance. Everyone looked at the tree in confusion after hearing this. Why did the child's clothes appear on the tree? You must know that even adults may not be able to climb this tree, let alone a five or six-year-old child.
"In my opinion, the man caught the child up a tree at that time, and after the adults left, he took the child elsewhere." Seeing that everyone had no clue, Wuming expressed his opinion.
"This!" Everyone was shocked. How desperate the child must have been when he watched his parents who came to look for him leave before his eyes.
"Don't be stunned yet, look around to see if there are any footprints left. Although I know that I was hiding in the tree at that time, I still don't know where I went. As long as I can't fly, there will definitely be traces. "Wu Ming reminded him loudly.
"Yes, yes, everyone, look for it quickly!" Ke Zhenxing was the first to react and found clues about the child's whereabouts. This made him excited. He quickly asked everyone to look for footprints and promised that whoever finds the footprints first will have them on his clothes. Pick out a piece of clothing in the village.
Not long after, someone exclaimed that they had found a footprint. When Wuming passed by, there were already a bunch of people around, but their expressions were very strange. When Wuming came over to make room for him, they saw a footprint on the ground. It is printed on it, but the footprints are very strange. They are different from human feet. They are more like the prints of a human hand, but different.
Wuming rubbed his chin with one hand and thought of something with his eyes. He asked Zhao Rui beside him: "Are there monkeys in the mountains near you?"
Zhao Rui was stunned by his question, nodded and said: "There are indeed a few monkeys in this mountain, but what does this have to do with the loss of the child? Do you mean that?"
After saying this, Zhao Rui's eyes widened. There have been sayings about monkeys catching children since ancient times, but no one took it seriously. Now that this situation suddenly occurred to him, he couldn't believe it for a moment.
"Take someone to look for monkeys in the mountains. It's hard to tell if we go late." Wuming has been collecting medicine in the mountains all year round and has dealt with monkeys. It's really hard to say what those monkeys can do.
Just like this, a group of people ran into the mountains looking for the monkeys. Zhao Rui cleared the way. Ke Zhenxing, who originally cared about the children, also wanted to shout a few times in front, but everyone was afraid that he would scare the monkeys away, so they asked him to stay behind.
As we walked deeper and deeper into the mountains, some people lost their patience and felt that they were looking in the wrong direction. But there was no other way at the moment and they had to keep moving forward.
"Huh?" Wuming, who was walking in front with Zhao Rui, suddenly squatted down and hung a piece of debris on a branch. Wuming removed it and called Ke Zhenxing and asked him to identify it.
Ke Zhenxing looked excited when he saw the fragment. It was also on his child's clothes. It seemed that he had found the right place. This discovery boosted the fighting spirit of everyone present.
After walking for who knows how long, the sky gradually darkened, and everyone was very tired, especially the businessman Ke Zhenxing, but this time it was his child who was missing, and he gritted his teeth and persevered.
"Hey!" Suddenly a scream came to mind, attracting the attention of everyone present. While everyone was still looking for the source of the sound, a black shadow flew out from the tree. Before Zhao Rui and the others could react, Wuming Already rushed over first.
The sun is about to set at this time. If it gets completely dark later, the difficulty will increase a lot, and the longer the time goes on, the more dangerous it will be for the child.
Suddenly, Wuming stumbled over something. When he looked over, he was shocked to find that it was a human skull. Judging from the size, it was obviously that of a child. Wuming's pupils shrank. These beasts actually feed on the flesh and blood of children!
The anger in Wuming's heart gradually grew, but now was not the time to vent, he had to catch up with the monkey.
The monkey seemed to feel that someone was chasing him from behind, so it moved faster and wanted to get rid of the pursuer. However, Wuming was already familiar with terrain such as mountains and forests, and now that he had a cultivation level close to him, his movement speed was even more agile. If the monkey hadn't been needed to lead the way, Wuming would have captured it long ago.
When the monkey jumped high from the tree, Wuming's eyes suddenly brightened. He saw a spring in front of him. Above the spring was a waterfall. There were a group of monkeys of different sizes surrounding the spring. Wuming took a closer look and found that there was a waterfall beside the spring. Several unconscious children lay there.
These monkeys were not as noisy as usual, and actually danced around the child like a human sacrifice.
This scene was so weird that Wuming didn't dare to act rashly for fear of something going wrong.
Suddenly, a strange roar came from behind the waterfall. When the roar sounded, all the monkeys stopped what they were doing and knelt down, as if people were kneeling.
Before Wuming could figure out the situation, a figure rushed out from behind the waterfall. When Wuming saw the figure clearly, he was very surprised.
It was a creature with dark gray hair, somewhat similar to a monkey. Unlike the monkey's red butt, its butt was purple, its long face was like a ghost, and its white face had a big bright red nose, and its mouth was Full of fangs.
This is a mandrill. When Wuming was a child, he heard about it from an old man in Lishan Town. The old man often used the legend of a mandrill to catch children to scare the children to go home early and stop running around, otherwise they would be caught by the mandrill and never come back. Also watch Without seeing their parents, children are often frightened to the point of crying. Unfortunately, Wuming is one of them.
However, the mandrill in front of me was different from what the old man said. It was seven feet tall and stood about the same as an adult. You must know that the mandrill described in the old man's mouth was only one or two feet. I don't know how long this mandrill lived. Grow so big.
In the current situation, Wuming felt that this mandrill was the leader of these monkeys. The monkeys might have been driven by the mandrill to catch the children, so they captured the children as sacrifices and offered them to the mandrill.
The mandrill looked at the child on the ground and was very satisfied. He raised his head to the sky and let out a loud roar. Then he wanted to grab the child on the ground, but at this time a figure rushed from the woods. It was Wuming. If he didn't take action at this time, But it's too late.
When the mandrill was about to put the child into his mouth, Wuming rushed to the mandrill and pushed the mandrill's chin upwards with a palm. The mandrill's whole body suddenly fell backwards. This sudden change made the mandrill who was originally prostrate on the ground The monkeys all looked up.
When they found that their boss had been knocked down by someone's palm, the whole group of monkeys immediately became excited. Many monkeys made chirping sounds, and many jumped up and down.
Just when Wuming thought that the incident was over and he could take these children back, a roar came from the mandrill. Wuming was extremely surprised. He had just used eight points of force in his palm, but the mandrill was actually safe and sound.
The mandrill stood up and looked at Wuming. He raised his fist and punched Wuming. Wuming dodged and saw a big hole appear on the ground where the mandrill had just hit him.
This mandrill has become a monster! Wuming was frightened. When he was with Ren Pingsheng before, Wuming had knocked down a black bear that was much larger than Xun Pingsheng. Ren Pingsheng had observed that the black bear might be about to embark on a journey of cultivation. Then he told Wuming about the monster. It is rumored that beasts of certain ages may have spiritual wisdom and can practice like humans. It is rumored that there was a great demon who had been practicing for many years on the side of cholera in the spirit world and massacred countless human cultivators. He was later suppressed by several powerful human beings.
The situation of the mandrill in front of him should be consistent with what Ren Pingsheng said. This mandrill has already embarked on the path of cultivation. If left alone, it will cause trouble in the mortal world in the future. If his cultivation is not strong now, then He has already driven the monkeys to capture children. When he becomes stronger, he will definitely go directly to the village and kill the human race.
Wuming touched the Qiankun bag on his waist, and a small dagger appeared in his hand. It was different from the one he used before. This dagger contained some spiritual power, which was left to him before he separated from Ren Pingsheng. .
According to Ren Pingsheng, this dagger is a spiritual weapon that has undergone simple sacrifices. Spiritual weapons are weapons refined by cultivators. After being refined by cultivators, they can exert great power. This dagger was the one that Ren Pingsheng used before. One of the first works I made when I was learning sacrifices. It can barely be regarded as a spiritual weapon. Although it doesn't have any powerful power, it should be enough to be used in the mortal world.
The child should not be in serious danger now. Mandrill's attention is now entirely on Wuming. The anger in Mandrill's heart will not subside until Wuming is killed.
"Roar!" The mandrill roared, beating his chest muscles with his fists like an orangutan beating his chest, and then dived towards Wuming. With this momentum, it seemed that he wanted to kill Wuming directly.
Wuming's expression condensed, and he stared closely at the mandrill that was rushing towards him. Just when the mandrill was about to reach him, Wuming used a sliding shovel to go under the mandrill, and the dagger in his hand slashed towards the mandrill's belly, which suddenly felt warm. The blood flowed out namelessly.
When Wuming stood up, the huge body of the mandrill fell to the ground, and its belly was cut open by Wuming with a dagger. However, Wuming felt a sense of sadness at this time, because the dagger given by Ren Pingsheng in his hand was half cut off. .
Wuming didn't expect that the mandrill's body was so tough, and the spirit weapon that had been sacrificed was broken inside. "Alas", Wuming sighed lightly and then felt relieved. If Ren Pingsheng knew that Wuming used this dagger to solve the disaster, then Mandrills with many children must also be extremely happy.
Wuming took out the half of the dagger from the mandrill's body, and washed both the dagger and the body clean by the water spring. As for the group of monkeys, they all ran away when they saw the mandrill bleeding so much. As the saying goes, the hozen will scatter when the tree falls, right? .
After Wuming finished packing, he looked at the child who was still unconscious and frowned slightly. He still hadn't woken up yet?
