Chapter 52: Now in front of you
"The apes gathered in that nest, and we couldn't get around them."
After more than a day of travel, everyone encountered no obstacles on the road and arrived very smoothly near the monster ape's nest.
However, the remaining challenges in the dungeon seem to focus on this step.
The players originally wanted to secretly pass through the monster apes when they went out for food according to Lu Songyan's suggestion. But unfortunately, the monster apes seemed to be disturbed by the changes in the cave and stayed in the nest, showing no signs of going out at all.
They have more than two days left. It sounds more than enough, but they can't really waste time and let time pass, waiting for a turning point that will appear in unknown time.
In addition to Yu Yueming, the changes in the players' bodies are constantly deepening. Their newly grown white hair has begun to cover their faces, and their minds have also begun to be affected. Sometimes, a brief gap occurs in their thinking.
This is not a good phenomenon, and no one knows what they will deteriorate when the countdown is about to end.
In addition, no one knows when the cave maze will start to change again. Maybe in the next second, the exit that I finally found will suddenly disappear in front of them.
"Based on the information we found before, when our alienation reaches a certain level, those monster apes may not attack us."
Lu Songyan proposed a suggestion to solve the current dilemma, and Yu Yueming shook his head directly.
"Maybe that's right. But at that time, it's hard to say whether you can control yourself. Look, all the apes are blocked at the exit, but none of them go out. If the mutations are allowed to develop, the mutations may be completely unable to leave this cave."
Everyone discussed it. Although Lu Songyan made such a suggestion, she actually did not agree with delaying time. Instead, Shen Yongliang seemed to support her statement.
Yu Yueming, like Rong Zhicai, agreed to a quick battle. Speaking of which, he actually had no other choice. After all, he showed no sign of alienation and could not get involved in the group of monster apes.
Three to one, everyone decided to adjust their state first, and then immediately try to break through the monster ape's defense line.
During the rest period, Yu Yueming untied the bandage wrapped around his front paws.
When he left the ancient man's building, the wound on his claws had healed to the point where he would not deteriorate easily. Although the burden of rushing to the road delayed the healing of the wound, his ability to move had basically returned to normal.
Except for the part of the eroded claws that cannot grow for the time being, causing his claws to become dull and weaken the attack power, these injuries have no obvious negative impact on him.
He found a flat ground and lay down, seized the time to close his eyes and rest, and restore his strength.
——
"I think this can help us."
Lu Songyan solemnly took out the fragments of the ancient man's body that she had specially collected before and suggested to her companions.
Yu Yueming looked at the dark green piece of meat that emitted an unknown smell in her hand, and his ears pressed into plane ears.
Others obviously also felt a little respectful to this proposal. After all, the smell of flesh and blood of the ancients is not within a range that humans can accept well.
However, they did not refuse immediately. If enduring the weird smell can reduce the danger, this method is worth a try.
“…you can give it a try.”
Rong Zhicai nodded hesitantly and took the piece of fragments separated by the other party.
Although Yu Yueming resisted, he did not refuse. He shrank his neck back and reluctantly took the pieces of the ancient man, frowned and rubbed the blood that oozed out on the fur.
After the wipe, he squatted on the ground with no desire, trying to ignore the disgusting smell that filled the surrounding air and comfort himself in his heart.
At least with this smell as a base, those monster apes probably won’t treat them as food...probably.
After the armed forces were completed one after another, everyone no longer delayed and went straight to the exit.
After approaching the nest, Yu Yueming found that the situation had changed again, which was more troublesome than when he was exploring before. Now, those monster apes are not just concentrated in the nest. They simply gather near the exit and form a wall with their bodies.
The huge apes surrounded the exit passages densely. Not to mention humans, a mouse could not pass through their surroundings quietly.
Players had no choice but to pin the open flashlight on their bodies, free up their hands, hold their weapons, and move carefully towards the exit step by step.
The passage leading to the exit suddenly appeared on the wall of the nest. It looked neatly rectangular, with very neat edges and full of man-made traces. There was a faint white light at the end of the passage, and it can be seen that the exit was not far from there.
Everyone did not deliberately conceal the sound of their movements, but slowed down and slowly approached the area where the monster apes gathered. After the monster apes noticed the movement, they immediately stopped.
Facing the uninvited guests, the group of monster apes let out a harsh roar and scream to intimidate. They tried to get close to everyone, but soon showed a taboo of the smell of the players, and they were wandering, not daring to get too close.
It's useful! Everyone exchanged glances, and Lu Songyan tentatively grabbed a small piece of minced meat and threw it at the group of monster apes.
The monster apes near the ground meat fell quickly retreated and avoided, making sharp panic sounds one after another.
Lu Songyan pushed forward step by step, throwing out the fragments in his hands slowly, opening up a road to the exit for everyone.
The strange apes seemed to want to pounce on them immediately and tore up everyone's bodies severely, but under the shock of the smell of the ancients, they still retreated reluctantly like a tide, leaving a spacious path.
The exit is right ahead, and victory seems to be within reach.
Lu Songyan walked in front, Shen Yongliang and Yu Yueming were in the middle, and behind Rong Zhicai Palace, the group slowly stepped into the passage.
The strange apes were turbulent and shouted endlessly, but under the shock of the smell of the ancients, no individual had the courage to come forward to stop everyone from moving.
When they gradually approached the light-lit area, Yu Yueming felt a little relieved.
The difficulties of this copy should have been over. Next, you can leave as long as you reach a safe place...
Bang!
Bang bang!
Several consecutive gunshots suddenly rang out.
The huge impact force penetrated Yu Yueming's chest. He wanted to turn his head in shock, but staggered because of his limbs.
Chapter completed!
