Chapter 107: Gradual Erosion

After a short rest, she said softly, "You light the oil lamp, I'm ready."

I pulled out the fire passbook, and after lighting the oil lamp, I saw that there was still some participation in her mouth, and pointed at it implicitly.

Lucy smiled, wiped it off with her slender fingers, and sucked her own fingers.

I felt a little sick for her: "Go back and rinse your mouth quickly. I have to go to the hole to have a look."

Lucy gave me a charming look of dissatisfaction and turned and walked away.

When I got to the mouth of the cave, I found that both people who were staring there were asleep. After waking them up, I asked them about the situation and they said there was no movement outside.

I pushed open the gate. It was dark outside. I really couldn't see anything, but I heard wheezing, which was much bigger than people's snoring.

After careful identification for a long time, I thought that there were at least three black monsters rested in the house.

An idea suddenly occurred to me. I let one of them run back to the basement and call two people. After explaining to them, I removed the gate, and one aborigine and I climbed out, let another aborigine hold a fire passbook without blowing an open flame and stick it on the cave wall, shake the fire at the entrance of the cave, and the remaining two aborigines took their weapons and waited inside.

I coughed twice, and the monsters didn't respond. I dug a piece of dirt on the ground and threw it at the place where it snored. A monster screamed and seemed to sit up.

A few seconds later, it woke up several other black monsters, and I saw them get up and come over.

"Whoa goo?"

"Oh, goo."

Several monsters exchanged doubts, and their voices were very small, as if afraid of scaring away the fire.

As they approached, a monster reached for the fire point and fell in at once, making a wheel sound in rolling. The remaining monsters all gathered together to look for it, and then another one fell in. We have identified their location and number by sound, there were four in total, and there were still two crossings left. I stood up, walked up and touched the monster's slippery skin, and pushed it directly in. As a result, both of them were pushed in.

The crossing was a ladder, which was more than three meters deep and had a small hole. After falling in, only a dull sound could be heard outside.

"Chief, they all fell in."

"Blow the fire."

When there was a little light in the house, I took the fire and looked at it. Only the smashed things were left inside.

When I returned to the cellar with the aboriginal who went up to the ground, all the four monsters that had fallen in had been killed. They were two black monsters and two human monkeys.

We had known a lot about what black monsters look like for a long time, but it was the first time that human monkeys had been observed at such close range.

"Chief, they look exactly like us."

"How can it be exactly the same as us?" I grabbed the hand of the monkey. "Look at this claw. It's the same claw on your feet."

"It's like an eagle's claws, but it's exactly the same everywhere else."

"These are not important. Hurry up and carry them away. You two will continue to guard here." I don't care what people and monkeys look like. Even if they are hybrids between people and monkeys, they don't deserve my attention. After all, I am not a biologist, let alone an anthropologist.

Carrying four monsters back to the basement, I woke everyone else up. They were all surprised when faced with the bodies of four monsters. After I told them the method of implementation, I asked them to follow suit at the remaining crossings. However, the method has been improved, and no one needs to go up, so they hide directly on the steps at the entrance of the cave and drag the monsters who come up.

In order to exercise Li Ding, I took him to a ground crossing, and smoothly dragged five monsters into the tunnel. Because of the large number, one of them resisted and scratched an aborigine, but was immediately stabbed to death by another aborigine from behind.

After working for more than half an hour, when all the people gathered in the basement, they brought back the bodies of twenty monsters, of which thirteen were monkeys.

"There has been no mistake, has there?" Although this method is very good, there is no guarantee that no one will be certainly right.

"I..." Zhang Yutong pouted and raised her hand.

"Was you discovered by them?"

Zhang Yutong shook her head: "No, when I was dragging, a monkey called, and I don't know if the monster outside heard it."

"Then don't open the hole you went to, and let people keep an eye on it." If the monster outside heard something, it would definitely go in and check it out.

Zhang Yutong nodded and ran away quickly.

When she came back, I arranged for her and Wuwa to stay in the tunnel. I took a dozen people and pushed twenty monsters to the crossing leading to the woods. All of them were thrown under the high ground.

The number of monsters was 70 or 80, and 20 have been killed. Some have been killed by traps before, and at least one third of them have been lost.

After that, I let most people go back first, and took a few people to climb up the tree and look at the tribe. The moon had become an oval, and the light brought by it was very limited. We could only vaguely see some monsters on the roof of the tribe, and know nothing about the situation on the ground.

When we went back to the basement and had a rest, we decided to launch another attack and kill some monsters on the roof.

"Brother Lu Fei, I have an idea." Zhang Yutong said.

"What’s it?"

Zhang Yutong said, "Isn't Xiaohei still with us? It helped us last time, and it will definitely be on our side this time. Let's let it go up first and help us do the investigation."

"This..." I didn't feel at ease, and I was afraid of Xiaohei suddenly mutiny.

"You just believe me." Zhang Yutong spoiled herself: "Xiaohei helped us last time. When it returned to the monster group, it would definitely not be accepted. He followed us and drank spicy food, and he would not go back. It is night, and the monsters will not recognize Xiaohei as the traitor at all."

"Brother Fei, let Xiaohei go." Li Ding also agreed: "It eats so many things every day, it is time for it to do something."

I looked at other people and agreed with Zhang Yutong's proposal. So I said yes.

Zhang Yutong happily went to bring Xiaohei over and said that she had communicated with Xiaohei.

I won't communicate with Xiaohei, so I actually stuffed it with a barbecue. Xiaohei happily took a big bite of barbecue, and then gave the rest to Zhang Yutong.

Zhang Yutong seemed to understand it very well. She coaxed the child and said, "Go quickly and eat the rest when you come back."

It grinned and nodded.

After taking it to the hole, it climbed out quickly.

While waiting, I was anxious. After twenty minutes, there was a flapping sound from above. When we opened the gate and put Xiaohei in the next place, it jabbered and stroked with its claws.

Zhang Yutong kept nodding.

After that, Xiaohei climbed out by itself.

"Brother Lu Fei." Zhang Yutong said happily, "Xiaohei said that it will lead some monsters here, let's get ready here, and then contain the monsters and kill them. Get ready quickly."

"Can you understand it?" I felt incredible about this, because the pronunciation of monsters was all jabbering words.

Zhang Yutong spread out her hands: "I don't understand, but I don't know why. Xiaohei can understand what I said, and I can understand what it said. There has never been a mistake. Isn't it amazing?"

"Inconceivable." I felt that they were completely understanding each other's meaning by feeling, and it was difficult to communicate without any misunderstanding.

"Get ready quickly, or it will be too late." Zhang Yutong urged.

They both have decided privately, so I can't do what I say but follow them. Seeing that there were six or seven people around, I let Zhang Yutong return to the basement and call others to wait at the first corner of the tunnel.

I took six or seven people around me and hid in another tunnel connection, holding a spear and waiting for the monster to trap itself.
