Chapter 67 Shocking News

"Hoo.Hiss..."

In the darkness, more than twenty tall and strong dark red figures, each over two meters tall, ground their teeth and gasped for breath, making the most primitive sound of beasts from the depths of their throats.

Those pairs of demonic red eyes were fixed on Li Ping'an and the other four people like demonic little scarlet lanterns.

However, they were not in a hurry to attack. Instead, it seemed that they wanted to use this formation to scare Li Ping'an and the others.

Zhang Hongqiang was sweating profusely at this time, swallowing hard with great difficulty.

Although the powerful firearm was right under his feet, he had no time or chance at all to take it at the moment.

If he didn't take the firearm, he could still maintain this strange balance. However, if he made a move, these more than twenty strange red-haired monkeys would immediately rush over!

The key was that each of them was too powerful!

They were in no way inferior to the early of the Awakening Stage!

Even with these powerful firearms, Zhang Hongqiang felt he had no chance of winning.

Yan Ling and the other two girls could not help but tremble. They stared at the sinister figures around them. However, there was nothing they could do. They could only wait for the last moment of their lives to arrive.

Li Ping'an's hands were also sweating. He released his senses, and his nerves reached the upper limit of their functions. His eyes were fixed on these tall figures around him.

In the past, Li Ping'an did not know much about how wild beasts became intelligent.

He always thought that it was the most powerful of the fierce beasts such as tigers and leopards that would gain intelligence. But now, these monkeys who were very similar to humans also...

What was more, they seemed to be highly disciplined.

Although the red-haired monkey whose arm had been cut off by Li Ping'an just now was already gnashing its teeth in hatred towards him, it still stayed within their ranks and did not rush forward rashly.

But it was definitely not a good way to be so passive!

A moment later, Li Ping'an said to Zhang Hongqiang in a low voice, "Brother Qiang, we will definitely suffer a great loss if we keep wasting time like this. I'll go out and have a try. You and the others pack up the weapons quickly!"

"Uh..."

Zhang Hongqiang was stunned. He hadn't expected that at this critical moment, his unremarkable brother, Daniu, was actually so helpful...

But after all, he was an experienced man. He came to his senses in an instant and said in a low voice hurriedly, "Daniu, don't do that! Don't act rashly! Even if you can kill one or two of them, it's useless! Look, it seems that their leader hasn't come yet. They are also a little afraid of our weapons. Let's be on the alert, but make no move! If these bastards really don't know what's good for themselves and insist on fighting, we'll teach them a lesson! "

Zhang Hongqiang gritted his teeth.

"Their leader?"

Hearing that, Li Ping'an was stunned, and he was enlightened suddenly.

That was right.

Monkeys lived in groups. Generally, there should be a monkey king in a group of monkeys. However, it seemed that there was no monkey king in this group of big red-haired monkeys.

This meant that there was a lack of a leader who could make decisions among these big red-haired monkeys.

And the sudden attack just now seemed to be a test...

"Tata...Tatatata..."

At this moment, the gunshots in the mountains in the east were getting more and more intense, and it seemed that the situation had reached a critical moment.

Many big red-haired monkeys turned their heads and looked towards the east.

Li Ping'an and Zhang Hongqiang looked at each other and nodded.

It seemed that Team 96 in the east, where the gunshots came from, was the main target of their attack!

"Roar."

Before long, a strange cry like the sound of a chilly wind suddenly resounded through the mountains.

These red-haired monkeys immediately grimaced in pain. It seemed that they were very unwilling, but they didn't dare to disobey the order. They glared at Li Ping'an and the others and then quickly jumped and left. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the depths of the night without a trace.

It was not until Zhang Hongqiang was sure the red-haired monkeys had gone far that he heaved a sigh of relief. His entire body was almost drenched in cold sweat. He fiercely spat, "Damn it! We barely escaped from the jaws of death."

As he spoke, he looked at Li Ping'an again. He could not help but give Li Ping'an a thumbs-up. "Daniu, good for you! Well done! If it hadn't been for you, we would have died here today."

Li Ping'an smiled, still in a state of shock.

Although these big red-haired monkeys were very powerful, with Li Ping'an's current strength, it might be a bit troublesome to kill them all, but it wasn't difficult for him to escape. But for Zhang Hongqiang and the others...

At this time, Yan Ling also came back to her senses and said, "Hongqiang, Daniu, stop talking nonsense. Our crisis has not been completely resolved! These monkeys are very vengeful. Since you injured them just now, they might come back at any time. We must be prepared!"

"Right!"

Zhang Hongqiang nodded heavily, "Honey, you, Little Li, and Little Jing, hurry up and get things ready. Report to the main force of the headquarters and ask for support. I will make more defenses with Daniu. If those bastards dare to come again, we'll teach them a lesson!"

The group quickly went about the work separately.

Yan Ling and the other two began to build emplacements, whereas Li Ping'an and Zhang Hongqiang cleared the surrounding stones, cut down trees, turning the camp into a small castle-like bastion.

Soon, the support from the main force of Young Master Can arrived as well. It was three drones carrying light laser weapons.

This also gave Li Ping'an and the others more confidence.

However, the sound of firearms from the east soon faded out, and it did not take long before they disappeared.

The night became quiet again.

...

Team 97 stayed on guard for the whole night, but the strange red-haired monkeys didn't appear again.

It was not until a few more squads of reinforcements came from the main force at dawn that Li Ping'an and the others finally relaxed.

However, Li Ping'an was also very curious about what happened to Team 96 in the east last night.

But in this situation, he certainly couldn't ask more.

Li Ping'an was not in a hurry. This kind of thing definitely would come to light sooner or later. Since people had come over to support them, there would definitely be reinforcements for Team 96.

Sure enough, more than ten minutes later, the news came.

Zhang Hongqiang had an old buddy who happened to go there to support Team 96 and he sent Zhang Hongqiang several pictures.

"Damn it! How miserable! Li g**g was also a tough guy, but..."

Seeing the picture, macho man as Zhang Hongqiang was, he did not dare to look straight at it and he quickly closed his eyes.

Li Ping'an came over to take a look, and his eyes instantly narrowed.

Li g**g and the rest of Team 96 no longer looked like human. Their corpses were all gone. There were only bloodstains and torn bones on the ground.

However, Li Ping'an soon noticed that the person said, "A female member of Li g**g's team is missing. No one knows whether she is still alive or not."

Li Ping'an's heart skipped a beat.

He suddenly remembered that when these big red-haired monkeys rushed over last night, the first thing they did was not to kill people, but to drag Yan Ling and the other two women away. They wanted to...

However, Zhang Hongqiang and the others didn't notice this message. Thus, Li Ping'an did not say anything. He sat down quietly and thought about the situation.

At a quarter past seven, the main force consisting of more than a hundred people came over, led by a trusted aide of Young Master Can. He was a tall middle-aged man at the later of the Awakening Stage. When he came over, he took over the overall situation directly.

Members of Team 97 were specially permitted to rest today because they had made a move yesterday and had made a great contribution in defending the camp. This camp was also a main stronghold of the main force. Obviously, they did not need to perform tasks such as exploring the way today. They could have a good rest.

After breakfast, Li Ping'an informed Zhang Hongqiang and directly went into his tent.

Actually, Li Ping'an definitely didn't need to rest. Instead, he wanted to have a good chat with Lin Jianjia. He wanted to know what exactly was going on.

After he told what had happened to Lin Jianjia briefly, Lin Jianjia replied soon.

"Daniu, these monkeys might have already formed territorial consciousness. In other words, their monkey king might probably be the lord of the region you're in!"

"In the confidential historical materials of the chaotic period before the new era, there were records of this kind of thing. However, it is really hard to imagine that dozens of monkeys reached the early of the Awakening Stage."

"Daniu, don't worry. I'll get the information."

"Lord?"

Li Ping'an looked at the communication gadget and narrowed his eyes.

Previously, when he was learning about Wudang Mountain with Lin Jianjia, they mainly focused on topography, including the places where odd melons and powerful beasts might exist. However, they forgot monkeys, a group of natives in Wudang Mountain.

But those big red-haired monkeys must have been extraordinary!

Each of them was at the early of the Awakening Stage. What did this mean?

Monkeys definitely did not have Energy Drop. If they wanted to awaken, they could only rely on odd melons, or the spirits of plants and mineral veins.

However, there were dozens of them, or even more. How many resources would they require?

In particular, their team's sense of obedience wasn't inferior even to that of human troops!

Lin Jianjia had always been efficient and soon she sent a message.

"Daniu, the big red-haired monkey you were talking about probably mutated from the chaotic period before the new era. There are some records about this big red-haired monkey on the Internet, but none of them is detailed enough. I don't know exactly what species they belonged to before the new era."

"But one thing is for sure: this kind of big red-haired monkeys are very powerful. Moreover, they seem to. have human genes!"

"Human genes?"

The whole body of Li Ping'an broke out with "goosebumps". He sat up immediately and replied, "Jianjia, do you mean that they catch women to..."

Lin Jianjia quickly replied, "Daniu, probably so! This kind of big red-haired monkey probably possessed very powerful strengths in the chaotic period before the new era! However, they have been hidden deeply before, and humans have never found them..."

"F*ck!"

Li Ping'an couldn't help but spit!

How could that be possible? This kind of big red-haired monkey actually... learned to catch human women to reproduce?

How could they be so smart?

Soon, Lin Jianjia sent another message, "Daniu, I'm afraid the great variation is even more terrifying than we thought! You must be careful! Remember, don't push yourself too hard..."

Ling Ping'an couldn't help smiling when he read the message from Lin Jianjia.

He replied teasingly, "Fortunately, I have foresight this time. I didn't let you, my goddess, come. Otherwise, if you are caught by the monkeys, I'll go crazy."

"Li Ping'an, you bastard! I'll kick your a*s!"

After chatting with Lin Jianjia for a while, Li Ping'an's mood became much better.

But. Lin Jianjia's personality was definitely different from Jiang Zhiyan's. Li Ping'an definitely wouldn't obtain her selfies...

However, although the red-haired monkeys were strange, it was not necessarily a bad thing!

There was no doubt that these big red-haired monkeys were powerful, but the resources in their hands were even more tempting!

Li Ping'an believed that if he could obtain such information, Young Master Can must also know that.

Since Young Master Can came into the mountain with such a great fanfare this time, his goal was, perhaps, not just the Trick Guide!

And, waiting for prey patiently like a leopard was exactly what Li Ping'an was best at!
