Monkey 003
Wang Yanfei looked at the monkey corpse on the ground, and the snake shadow wrapped around his arm gradually dissipated. He turned around, slid his tail, and returned to the depths of the cave.
In the cave, the surroundings were quiet. He switched to thermal sensing. Most of the surrounding heat sources were scattered and weak. It was obviously just a group of ordinary monkeys. It is worth noting that their brain temperature is much higher than their body temperature. Deeper in the cave, you can see an extremely powerful heat source, whose intensity far exceeds that of other heat sources. This obvious difference makes him a little wary, but at the same time, the surging power in his body makes him feel a sense of expansion that he has never had before. He did not act rashly, but first memorized the terrain and heat source distribution of the cave.
He moved along the monkey group in the cave, sliding his tail close to the ground, hiding himself in the shadows, and quietly observing the status of these monkeys. He found that these monkeys seemed unusually slow, with unsteady steps, fatigue in their eyes, and distracted spirits, as if they had not slept for a long time.
Wang Yanfei chose a secluded corner and stared at a monkey that was moving alone. He bounced his body suddenly, and the snake's tail wrapped around the monkey's limbs, firmly fixing it. The monkey struggled for a moment, but soon lost the strength to resist. He raised his palm slightly, and the snake shadow emerged from his body and quickly bit the monkey's neck.
This time, the snake shadow did not kill the monkey directly, but injected a green liquid. Wang Yanfei lowered his eyes and watched the snake shadow's movements, his eyes slightly restrained, and his thoughts rolled in his mind. This liquid seemed familiar. He remembered that when he fought with those monkeys with guns outside the cave, the snake shadow's attack also had a similar venom effect, but the battle situation was urgent at the time, and he could not investigate it carefully.
He let go of the monkey, hid his body in the shadows, and watched its reaction. The monkey began to tremble violently, and then collapsed to the ground, panting. After a while, its eyes gradually became dull, as if it had been drained of vitality. Not long after, the monkey ran into a companion. It pounced on it without hesitation, and its sharp claws scratched its companion's skin. At the moment when the blood gushed out, the monkey's body seemed to absorb some kind of energy, and its movements became more flexible, and its eyes became more fiery. The attacked monkey quickly shrank and fell to the ground powerlessly, like a dry, empty shell. Wang Yanfei stared at the scene, narrowing his eyes slightly.
-----------------
After an unknown amount of time, Wang Yanfei exhaled a breath of foul air and stood in front of the heavy stone door. He raised his hand and touched the wall, feeling the residual warmth, and couldn't help but frown, then waved his hand. Behind him was a monkey, whose arms were already disproportionately thick, and whose muscles seemed to be piled up abruptly, covered with blue veins, and whose skin was tight, as if it could burst at any time. It slowly stretched out its hand, and its swollen knuckles touched the stone door. As the force was further increased, the flesh on the arm finally couldn't bear it, and a muffled "bang" sounded, a small crack burst open, and blood splattered. But the monkey didn't care, and with a low roar, he pushed the stone door open with force.
"Okay, you are worthy of being the "King of Gu"." Wang Yanfei raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was no emotion on his slightly thin face. He carried a machine gun in one hand, another on his shoulder, and grenades hung on his waist, and the snake's tail slid and clanged.
After the stone door was pushed open, a wave of hot air came towards us, mixed with a strong smell of blood and decay. The cave inside was a little too spacious, with many bones scattered on the ground, some of which were animals, some were human, and more were some strange skeletons, like the nest of some wild beasts.
The monkey that was "soaked" took the lead and stepped in, and its huge body almost occupied the width of the passage. It looked around, its eyes full of mania and murderous intent. Wang Yanfei stood behind it, watching all this coldly, sliding its snake tail to follow slowly.
The environment in the cave made people feel extremely depressed. There was a kind of sticky moss hanging on the wall, emitting a weak fluorescence, shrouding the space in a strange green light. The ground was slippery, accompanied by some sticky liquid, like the secretions of some creatures. The monkey's footsteps made a dull sound, echoing in the empty cave.
Wang Yanfei stopped sliding, and the tip of his tail stood up and shook slightly, releasing a light red gas. The gas spread quickly, shrouding the cold and damp air of the cave. The swollen monkey in front of him stopped, roared softly, and turned his eyes, looking extremely uneasy.
He squinted his eyes, looked past the monkey, and looked at the center of the cave. The fluorescence there was the dimmest, and the light could hardly reach it, but a tall figure was vaguely visible. It was a monster covered in blood red, like a giant ape with long hair. Its fur was wet, and the sticky red liquid slid down its body and dripped on the ground with a slight "click" sound.
And in its arms, a monkey in a white coat was curled up quietly, like a dried corpse. The giant ape lowered his head and muttered to himself,
"Father said that beasts don't think, but people do."
"Father said that beasts eat raw meat and drink blood, but people don't."
"Father said that I am the closest to his dream... I am a human."
Wang Yanfei watched this scene coldly, holding the machine gun tightly in his hand, and flicked his tail lightly, making a light sound. This sound was particularly clear in the empty cave. The giant ape holding the corpse heard the sound and raised his head suddenly.
The giant ape stood up slowly, and the monkey corpse in his arms was carefully placed on the ground. The corners of its mouth twitched, as if it wanted to say something, but in the end it just let out a low roar.
Wang Yanfei did not move, but patted the swollen monkey in front of him with his tail. The monkey immediately let out a violent roar and rushed towards the giant ape. The air was filled with the smell of blood and the light red gas, but the giant ape did not retreat at all. It opened its arms and rushed towards the swollen monkey.
The two collided with each other, making a tooth-grinding bone-breaking sound. The giant ape's power had an absolute advantage, and the swollen monkey's body instantly lost balance. The giant ape grabbed its arms and tore it violently to both sides.
"Swish--"
The swollen monkey's body was torn apart, blood plasma and broken meat splashed, and the smelly liquid almost covered every inch of the cave. The giant ape was splattered with blood. Its hands were still holding the monkey's broken limbs. Its scarlet eyes stared at Wang Yanfei, and it pounded its chest with its fists and roared.
Wang Yanfei stepped back a few steps, tapped the ground with his tail, and raised his hand to wipe off a drop of blood that splashed on his face.
The giant ape threw away the broken meat in its hand, let out an even more violent roar, and rushed towards him with heavy steps, and the sound of its footsteps shook the ground slightly.
