At the foot of Weishan Mountain, there is silence in Zhangjia Village.
Da da da……
The mandrill, which had already noticed Pei Wende's movements, moved forward quietly, and the direction it came out was obviously the old farmer's house that had talked with Butcher Zhang before.
As early as a few days ago, when it was seriously injured by the big blue-scaled snake, it had already disguised itself as an old farmer's wife and quietly hid in Zhangjiacun, absorbing various blood foods to recover from its injuries.
Originally, Mandrill planned to hide like this until the 15th day of July when the Emperor's Liquid appeared.
However, the reality was more unexpected than the plan. First, the haunting green-scaled snake chased the traces left by him and appeared near the village.
Then it was discovered that he had secretly eaten the livestock of the stubborn old man next door, which attracted three unattractive civet cats, making it more difficult for him to secretly eat blood food.
Now even the butcher in the village didn't know why he was crazy. Not only did he find his hiding place in advance, but he also used a butcher knife to force the seriously injured mandrill to reveal his identity in advance.
The only good thing was that the three civet cats had lured away the big green-scaled snake for him in advance, so that the mandrill had the chance to drag it until the Emperor's Ooze truly arrived.
The mandrill believed that no monster could give up on this once-in-sixty-year Gengshen Night, and the big green-scaled snake was no exception.
In other words, after confirming that Pei Wende has appeared in Zhangjiacun, the mandrill can completely swallow and absorb his essence and destiny according to the original plan, and transform into a real earth dragon.
Such temptation made the mandrill even give up the dripping emperor's blood. After simply recovering from his injuries, he decisively walked in the direction of Butcher Zhang's house.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Da da da……
Contrary to what the mandrill had imagined, when it arrived at the door of Butcher Zhang's house, the man who forced him back with bloody courage had disappeared. Only a bloody butcher's knife remained in place.
Behind the half-opened door, the villagers who had been invaded by evil spirits returned to normal, but were still lying on the ground unconscious.
It's not that Pei Wende and Zhang Chusheng don't want them to lie down better.
Unfortunately, Butcher Zhang's house was only so big, and he didn't prepare extra beds and quilts. It was already nice to have a place for these villagers to lie down.
In addition, when Pei Wende recited scriptures, the closer he was to the better the effect, so the two of them did not move the villagers' positions.
Squeak...
So when the mandrill completely pushed open the half-open door, what he saw was Pei Wende, who was pale but still sitting cross-legged in the middle of the courtyard.
"Mandrill?"
As if he sensed the arrival of the mandrill, Pei Wende, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes at this moment, and the sound of chanting also stopped.
"Brother Pei, this is the monster!"
Zhang Chusheng, who had been watching the outside cautiously, also spoke at this time.
Suppressing the fear in his heart, he pointed firmly at the mandrill with his trembling hands - pointing at the culprit that almost destroyed the entire Zhangjia Village.
"Haha, it's a bit uglier than I thought."
With a difficult smile, Pei Wende's face was still pale, but he was still trying to reconcile the depression and fear in Zhang Chusheng's heart.
Because Pei Wende knew in his heart that "evil energy entering the body" seems extremely unscientific, but in fact it has common sense that conforms to the law.
As long as Zhang Chusheng's heart is not completely overwhelmed by fear, then he who also drank his own blood will not have any evil energy entering his body in a short period of time.
What's more, Pei Wende told the truth.
The mandrill that appeared in front of him was indeed much uglier than he imagined.
The mandrill, which is nearly three meters tall and has a strong sense of oppression in every move, looks a bit like an abnormally developed black-haired baboon at first glance.
The facial features, which are similar to those of humans, appear unusually ferocious and ferocious.
The veins on the arms hanging to the ground above the knees are popping up and the knots are strong, like the mechanical crane arms of later generations.
The legs have a recurved structure similar to that of an ox or a horse, which shows that the opponent is fast and has explosive power and strength that far exceeds that of humans.
In fact, even excluding the various supernatural abilities possessed by spirits and monsters, Pei Wende was able to imagine the powerful power possessed by this body.
However, compared with the strength and dominance shown by the mandrill, the various wounds on its body surface are equally worthy of attention.
Leaving aside the traces left by being strangled, bitten, and poisoned by the green-scaled snake, the particularly eye-catching knife wounds were obviously caused by Butcher Zhang.
Pei Wende could even see the scabs on some wounds, which were obviously remnants of the wounds that healed quickly but incompletely.
Judging from this point alone, it is obvious that the mandrill also has some supernatural ability to heal wounds quickly.
"Pei Wende?"
Not irritated by Pei Wende's words, Mandrill asked in an almost hoarse voice after carefully looking at Pei Wende.
"I am Pei Wende, the person you have been looking for."
Without denying his identity, Pei Wende slowly stood up from the ground and reached out to signal Zhang Chusheng behind him not to be impulsive.
"That's good, I didn't find the wrong person."
A ferocious smile gradually appeared on the mandrill's terrifying face, followed by wisps of invisible red flames.
"Honestly, don't resist, and I might spare your life."
What the mandrill needs is the essence and destiny in the body, and this must be based on the premise that Pei Wende is still alive.
Therefore, if Pei Wende is wise and does not make any resistance, Mandrill may really let him go on the premise that the other party will help him "turn into a dragon".
"Haha, that's what I want to say to you too."
Pei Wende, who suddenly laughed without any warning and had a strange blush on his face, retorted unceremoniously.
"No, even if you don't resist, I won't necessarily spare your life."
When he said this, Pei Wende was thinking of Zhang Chusheng's dying sister, and Zhang Butcher who never put down his butcher knife until the last moment.
Pei Wende, who comes from the 21st century in the future, has never had any idea of the difference between humans and monsters.
However, what happened to Zhang Butcher's family and Zhangjia Village made him suddenly realize that those who are not from my race must have different minds.
This truth that Pei Wende should have understood at Mulian Temple was ignored by him intentionally or unintentionally due to the special circumstances at that time.
After all, those ghosts and monsters were all human beings during their lifetime, but the tiger, the only monster with a monster identity, sees himself as a human being.
But this mandrill is different. To humans, it is no different from other animals. It is a true alien from body to mind.
"It is the duty of a Buddhist to subjugate demons. Today I will fulfill this duty!"
