Great Swordsman

Chapter 318

After a short rest, Li Mu and his party continued on their way.

In order to prevent anyone from being confused by the monster, Li Mu ordered everyone to report the number every 5 minutes.

Although it is a little troublesome to do so, it can ensure the safety of everyone to the greatest extent, so everyone did not resist.

After traveling for more than ten miles, the surrounding trees became taller and taller. The canopy composed of branches and leaves was already more than 30 meters above the ground, and the gap was very small. Only fragmentary sunlight fell, which made the forest dark.

From time to time, there will be a rustling sound on the 'umbrella' above, as if there are monsters walking through it.

Li Mu checked several times, but these monsters were extremely vigilant. As soon as Li Mu moved, they dispersed one after another, and the speed was extremely fast.

Li Mu was worried about diverting the tiger away from the mountain, so he didn't dare to pursue him.

"Report the number." Li Mu saw that the time was almost up, and asked everyone to report the number again.

Bai Sining was the first to respond, saying loudly, "One!"

Bai Shu called two, Lan Wang called three, followed by four, five, six, until the last ten.

ten?
What about eleven?
Li Mu's expression changed.

In this trip, apart from Li Mu, Wawa, Bai Sining and Bai Shu, there were ten guards including Lan Wang, a total of 14 people. Now Wawa was eating and drinking in the wooden bowl, and one of the guards died. Li Mu They also don't participate in the counting, so the people behind should be eleven!

How did it end at ten?

Everyone reacted very quickly, and turned around immediately to be on guard.

"Squeak!" No. 11 finally reported the number, but the sound was a bit strange.

"Monkey?! How did he become a monkey?"

"No, this is a monster!"

Everyone was frightened and furious, and quickly retreated away from the gray-haired monster monkey in clothes.

"Squeak!" The monster monkey scratched its head and ears, as if it didn't expect that it would be exposed so soon.

It bared its teeth and roared and threatened everyone, looking rebellious.

"It doesn't smell like blood, so your companion should not be dead." Li Mu guessed that the monstrous monkey knocked out the last person in the team, then took off the man's clothes and put it on, but what is the purpose of the monstrous monkey? ?
As soon as Li Mu thought of this, the monstrous monkey rushed towards Bai Sining and Bai Shu.

"Sir." Bai Sining was taken aback, subconsciously ran to Li Mu's side like a rabbit, and tightly grasped his forearm.

Bai Shu did not retreat but advanced, she waved her plain hand, and in an instant a small purple snake shot out from her sleeve angrily, rising against the wind, it became tens of meters long in a blink of an eye, roaring and crashing into the monstrous monkey.

The monstrous monkey is extremely flexible, at the critical moment, it actually supported the forehead of the purple snake with both hands, and quickly crossed the snake's body with a split.

"The monstrous monkey seeks death!" At this time, Lan Wang and other Nanzhao monks also made their moves one after another, and all kinds of Gu insects flew out of them, including snakes, white cranes, tigers, and leopards. For a moment, tigers roared and leopards chanted in the forest, and cranes croaked The snake hissed, how lively it was.

However, the monstrous monkey seemed to be in a no-man's land, moving around in the air, avoiding them at the critical moment.

Soon, the monster monkey rushed to Bai Shu, and stretched out his hands to her.

"town!"

Li Mu had been waiting for a long time, when the monstrous monkey rushed forward, he immediately sacrificed the earth-covering seal.

boom! !

The earth-covering seal swelled against the storm, carrying heavy yellow halos and violent air waves, like a mountain slamming into a monster monkey.

The monstrous monkey couldn't dodge in time, and was knocked out [-] meters on the spot amidst the screams.

"Squeak!" The monster monkey struggled to get up from the ground, its gray hair was stained with blood, it was extremely embarrassed, but its eyes were still fixed on Bai Sining and Bai Shu.

Has this monkey never seen a female monkey?

Li Mu was very surprised, but he didn't have time to investigate, the monstrous monkey turned around directly, jumped into the 'umbrella' on the forest tree, and disappeared in an instant.

"Sir, thank you." Bai Shu felt terrified.

When the monster monkey rushed in front of her just now, Bai Shu thought about hiding behind Li Mu, but at that moment, she found that her body was locked by the monster monkey's aura, and she couldn't move at all!
She guessed that this monstrous monkey had at least the twentieth realm of Earth Fiend, or even higher, otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to force her to immobilize just by her aura!

If they hadn't met Li Mu, all of them together would not be able to defeat that monstrous monkey!

"Since I promised to protect you, I naturally won't sit idly by." Li Mu pondered, "It's just that monstrous monkey..."

Monkeys have always lived in groups, even if they become monsters, it might be the same.

Now that the monster monkey escapes, it is likely to attract more and more powerful monster monkeys.

At that time, Li Mu will be alone, and it will be difficult to protect these people's integrity.

For Li Mu's worries, Lan Wang deeply felt the same, saying: "Although I don't know the reason, but the monster monkey's target should be Her Royal Highness, Bai Changshi, Master Shi Jianxian, you have the Buddhist mustard seed Xumi in your hand, Please also temporarily put Her Royal Highness and Bai Changshi in, and protect them well."

"What about you?" Li Mu asked.

The capacity of the wooden bowl is limited, and it is simply unrealistic to house the dozen or so people in front of us.

"I will follow Master Shijianxian to kill demons, if I die here, I will be considered a complete body of loyalty!" Lan Wang said in a deep voice.

The subordinates behind him were also impassioned, and none of them was afraid of death!

With such loyalty, it's no wonder the Nanzhao ruler sent them to protect his daughter and younger sister... Li Mu looked at Bai Sining and Bai Shu who were beside him.

"Let Your Highness go in." Bai Shu said, "I will accompany you to defend against the enemy!"

"My aunt is outside, and I want to be outside too!" Bai Sining said immediately.

"Your Highness, don't mess around!" Bai Shu glared at her.

Bai Sining's momentum suddenly weakened, and he said aggrievedly: "Auntie, I want to be with you and my husband."

"Miss Bai, in my opinion, you and His Highness should both go in." Li Mu took out the wooden bowl and said, "The target of those monster monkeys is you, as long as one of you is outside, it will attract the covetousness of those monster monkeys. I'm not afraid, but the lives of Uncle Lan and the others are at stake."

"This..." Bai Shu was taken aback, wanting to refute, but just now the monstrous monkey really came straight at her.

She is not afraid of death, but if it hurts the lives of Lan Wang and others... Bai Shu finally nodded and agreed to enter the wooden bowl.

Woman, it's really troublesome... Li Mu quickly put Bai Sining and Bai Shu into the wooden bowl.

……

In a wooden bowl.

The baby lay there with her legs crossed, grilled squid with her left hand, and grilled squid with her right hand, she took a bite to the left and a bite to the right, and looked at the pile of grilled squid next to her, she was very happy.

At this moment, two people suddenly fell from the 'sky', the baby was startled, and suddenly got up from the ground, and asked loudly: "Who are you? Ah! It's Sister Bai~"

The doll ran up on her short legs.

"Baby." After Bai Sining stood still, he looked around, there was not much space here, but it was enough for the three of them to lie flat here.

"Why did you come in?" The baby looked at them vigilantly while eating the grilled squid, and even stood on the pile of grilled squid's signatures, for fear that they would steal her food.

Seeing this, Bai Shu smiled and shook her head, and said, "Baby, we've already fasted, so we won't eat your squid."

"Really~" The baby was overjoyed, instantly let go of her guard, and then... just lay down and left them alone.

Bai Sining didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but soon his face showed worry again.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, they will be fine." Bai Shu comforted.

"I hope so." Bai Sining sighed softly.

……

After Bai Sining and Bai Shu entered the wooden bowl, Li Mu and his party turned back first, found the monk who had been knocked unconscious by the monster monkey, and then continued on their way.

But before he had gone far, Li Mu saw the figures of monster monkeys looming in the thick 'canopy' formed by the branches and leaves above!
"Here we come!" Li Mu slowly pulled out the seven-star dragon.

"Shi Jianxian just kill monsters, don't bother me!" Lan Wang said calmly.

The atmosphere in the forest became more and more tense, but the strange thing was that although these monster monkeys were poking around above, none of them attacked them.

Lan Wang was stunned for a moment, and then furious: "These beasts really came for His Highness and Bai Changshi!"

A group of monkeys dare to covet the princess of Nanzhao, damn it!

Lan Wang wished he couldn't rush forward and kill all these monster monkeys, but due to his own strength, he could only greet the eighteen generations of ancestors of these monster monkeys from the bottom of his heart!
"Only interested in women...these monkeys, don't they really want to catch women and give them baby monkeys?" Li Mu's scalp went numb.

Immediately it occurred to me that among the group of monks who came this time, there were quite a few women.

For example, Mikako Toyoda, Princess of Ghost Country, and Qin Mengru!

I don't know if Zhao Que'er can stop these monster monkeys... Li Mu pondered: "Since the monster monkeys are not interested in us, let's move on."

This road was pointed out by him with a fairy guide, and there must be something good at the end of the road, so we can't be delayed by these monkeys.

Li Mu strode forward, Lan Wang and others followed behind in fear, fully on guard against the monster monkeys above, but in the end, these monster monkeys really didn't attack them, but they didn't disperse, but kept following closely behind them.

Moreover, the farther forward, the more the number of these monster monkeys.

Li Mu roughly counted, there are at least thirty of them!
With such a large number of monster monkeys gathered together, they can compete with the group of elephant monsters in the Tianxiang Cave of the Giant Elephant Kingdom!

This also made Li Mu more convinced that this island is definitely a cave, and its area is dozens of times larger than the celestial cave!

and many more!

In this way, does it mean that there are more powerful groups of monster beasts on this island, or that the group of monster monkeys in front of them is just the tip of the iceberg of the real monkey group?
Li Mu's heart sank slightly.

"Someone is coming?" At this moment, a sound of piercing through the air came galloping diagonally from behind, and Li Mu quietly hid behind a towering giant tree.

Lan Wang and others followed closely behind, and sacrificed Gu worms, letting tigers, leopards and snakes lie in ambush around them.

Even the group of monstrous monkeys on the tree became quiet.

In an instant, there was silence here.

Not long after, dozens of figures came shooting like arrows.

Li Mu looked at it, and his expression couldn't help becoming weird.

Because, the people who came were Zhao Que'er, Qin Hu, Miao Qingbari and more than ten imposing monks!
Only Qin Mengru was missing!
"Could it be that Qin Mengru was taken away by a monstrous monkey?" Li Mu's heart skipped a beat.

"Huh? Who's hiding there!" Zhao Que'er suddenly stopped, and the Heaven Shaking Seal in her hand was ready to go!
Qin Mengru was captured by the monster monkey, and Zhao Que'er immediately organized elites to chase after him. As for the rest of them, even if they were all dead, they couldn't catch up with Mengru!

"Hold on!" Lan Wang knew that his subordinates were too low to hide from Zhao Que'er's perception, so he hurriedly stood up and said, "Hello, Mr. Zhao."

"It's you?" Zhao Que'er's expression changed, and he quickly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said loudly: "Brother Li is also nearby?"

"Brother Zhao, long time no see." Li Mu walked out with a smile.

Lan Wang's subordinates also came out one after another, and took the Gu back.

Seeing that Li Mu was really there, Zhao Que'er was inexplicably relieved. Immediately, he frowned slightly and asked, "Why don't you see Princess Bai and Bai Changshi? Could it be that they were also captured by that monstrous monkey?"

Zhao Que'er's heart sank.

He thought he could use Li Mu's power to rescue Qin Mengru, but now it seems...

"Also?" Li Mu over there instantly grasped the point, and said with a smile, "It seems that Brother Zhao didn't protect Miss Qin well."

Zhao Que'er frowned even deeper, and snorted: "Brother Li, we are each other!"

"Master Zhao, you are wrong, my princess and Bai Changshi are safe." Lan Wang said.

Safety?

Zhao Que'er looked at them in surprise, and found that Lan Wang's guards from Nanzhao were all looking as usual, showing no signs of nervousness or worry.

So, are Bai Sining and Bai Shu really okay?

I was reckless just now... Zhao Que'er's thoughts turned, and he quickly looked at Qin Hu beside him.

Qin Hu's face twitched, but for the sake of the second sister, he came out anyway, and said to Li Mu: "Brother Li, my second sister was captured by a gray-haired monster monkey, and her life and death are uncertain. Please look at it for the queen's sake. Help!"

"If it's on the way, I won't be stingy to make a move." Li Mu said lightly.

Although Qin Mengru is Qin Mengyao's younger sister, she is only a cousin, not a relative. Besides, even if she is a relative, she is also Qin Mengyao's younger sister, not his younger sister.

"You!" Qin Hu was in a hurry. Judging from the fight between Zhao Que'er and the monster monkey just now, this monster monkey is extremely powerful. If Li Mu helps, he will definitely be able to save his second sister, but if...

"Brother Li, the queen and Mengru have a very deep relationship. If you put Mengru's life and death at risk, how will you face the queen after you go out?" Zhao Que'er frowned.

"If Miss Qin died, it would be your fault. If you have the face to face the queen, why not me?" Li Mu asked back.

Zhao Que'er was so stunned that she was speechless on the spot, and her face was even more blushing.

Li Mu felt that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit stiff, so he said: "And the monster monkey you mentioned, it's not just one, but a group."

"A group?" Zhao Que'er's face changed slightly.

Li Mu stretched out his finger and pointed at it.

Zhao Que'er and the others hurriedly looked up, and they found a few gray-haired monkey heads sticking out from the 'umbrella' made up of trees above, looking at them with piercing eyes blinking!

It is almost exactly the same as the monster monkey before!
"How could this be?!" Qin Hu's face turned pale.

At this moment, his heart was full of despair.

Because, he knew that the Monkey King usually would not make a move, that is to say, the monster monkey who kidnapped Qin Mengru before was just an ordinary one among this group of monster monkeys!
And even such a monster monkey, they couldn't deal with it, let alone a group of monster monkeys, and even the monkey king!
