Chapter 132: King of Mandrills
The team of more than 100 people continued to go deeper into the primeval forest. With the help of Pipi, Zhang Shi and others encountered another group of mandrills not long after. After the previous battle, Zhang Shi also had a certain understanding of these beasts. The next battle was much simpler. Zhang Shi and Zhao Feng kept pulling the mandrill leader. With the cooperation of the soldiers' muskets, they soon cleared out the ordinary mandrills.
Then Zhang Shi continued to attract the attention of the mandrill leader. The soldiers used long-range means such as muskets and bows to constantly wear down the opponent's physical strength. When the opponent was exhausted, Zhang Shi and Zhao Feng rushed up and gave it a fatal blow.
The elite monster in this secret realm seemed to have locked the explosion rate. The spoils of war were the same as those of the previous mandrill leader, both of which were a token and a kilogram of monkey wine.
This forest is vast and boundless, and the good living environment has created a paradise for wild animals. After a whole morning, Zhang Shi collected four tokens of the mandrill and prepared to find an open place to summon the BOSS.
The sunlight shone through the sparse tree canopy and shone on the ground, adding an ominous premonition to the area that was about to become a battlefield.
Zhang Shi held Lao Duan in his hand, his eyes firm, and he slowly took out the four tokens. A strange force arranged the four tokens into a special pattern. Influenced by the spiritual array day and night, Zhang Shi could vaguely sense the summoning array pattern on the mandrill token.
As the tokens were arranged, an ancient and mysterious atmosphere began to permeate the air, as if something was being awakened from the distant other side of time and space.
"Everyone, prepare for battle!"
Zhang Shi's voice was low and powerful. The soldiers quickly adjusted their formation and reloaded their ammunition. The cavalry turned on their horses, staring at the enemy who was about to appear with their eyes as sharp as torches.
Suddenly, the ground began to tremble, and the surrounding trees seemed to feel some kind of threat. The branches and leaves rustled, as if they were trembling for the coming storm. Then, a deafening roar broke the tranquility of the forest. A giant beast as big as a Titan zombie, covered with black hair, and with eyes flashing with green light, suddenly stepped out of the void. It was the King of Mandrills!
The appearance of the King of Mandrills made the entire space seem to solidify. Its figure was more sturdy than the previous mandrill leader, and it exuded a heart-pounding pressure. It looked around, its nose moved slightly, and it smelled the blood of its own kind in the air. Finally, it locked its eyes on Zhang Shi, with anger and murderous intent in its eyes.
Zhang Shi shouted and chose to take the initiative. His figure flashed out in an instant and rushed straight to the back of the King of Mandrills' head. Lao Duan drew a silver track in the air, with a sharp knife wind, and went straight to the neck of the King of Mandrills.
Although the King of Mandrills was huge, he reacted very quickly. With a slap of his huge palm, he brushed past Zhang Shi and brought a gust of wind. Zhang Shi flipped in the air and landed steadily, while the King of Mandrills roared even more violently, pressing towards Zhang Shi like a mountain.
Zhao Feng joined the battle without hesitation, swinging his giant axe, and each blow was as powerful as splitting a mountain and splitting rocks, and engaged in close combat with the King of Mandrills.
The soldiers fired muskets and bows from a distance. Although these attacks were only superficial injuries to the King of Mandrills, it was too big and was a living target in this open area. The accumulated injuries made it even more violent.
The battle entered a white-hot stage. Zhang Shi and Zhao Feng cooperated tacitly, one of them was the main attacker and the other was the supporter, constantly trying to find the flaws of the King of Mandrills.
As a rare-level BOSS, the King of Mandrills was much smarter than ordinary beasts. It saw at a glance the power of the kitchen knife in Zhang Shi's hand, and did not dare to collide with him head-on, so it turned around and started to cause trouble for Zhao Feng.
With its powerful strength and recovery ability, the King of Mandrills continued to suppress Zhao Feng. Each attack was enough to kill an ordinary soldier. Zhao Feng did not overestimate his own strength and confronted it head-on, but kept dodging. He was sweating profusely after a few rounds of fighting.
At the critical moment, Pipi played a key role again. It jumped out of the White Tiger Space, turned into a stream of light, and rushed straight into the eyes of the King of Mandrills. The King of Mandrills felt pain, roared continuously, and his movements became slower.
Zhang Shi seized the opportunity, his figure flashed again, and Lao Duan passed by like lightning. This time, he aimed directly at the back of the King of Mandrills.
Suddenly, a big hand swept across and slapped Zhang Shi. The King of Mandrills calmed down all of a sudden, opened his bloodshot eyes, turned his head and looked at Zhang Shi, his eyes were indifferent, as if he was looking at a dead ant.
At the critical moment, Zhang Shi's body suddenly turned into a black shadow, and the giant palm of the Mandrill King shattered it into a black mist, which dissipated between heaven and earth, making the Mandrill King confused.
At the same time, Zhang Shi, who had completed the shape-shifting, used the instant shadow step again to flash into the air behind it. Taking advantage of the gap when the Mandrill King attacked, Zhang Shi used the force to split Huashan and landed steadily on the ground. Lao Duan penetrated deep into the body of the Mandrill King, leaving a huge wound on its back.
The Mandrill King felt pain and angrily punched behind him, but Zhang Shi succeeded in one blow and had already retreated to a safe distance. Zhao Feng was worried that the other party would go crazy and be affected, so he also retreated and turned around to make a gesture to the soldiers.
The soldiers in position on the side received the order and quickly changed to bows and arrows loaded with explosives, and fired a wave of arrows at the Mandrill King.
Because of the pain, the King of Mandrills rushed towards Zhang Shi without a care, exposing his back to the soldiers. The sharp arrow hit its back accurately, piercing the tough skin and then detonating, blowing its back into a bloody mess, charred black.
The King of Mandrills wailed and staggered to the ground. Zhang Shi saw the opportunity and flashed behind it again to make a fatal blow, but he didn't expect that the King of Mandrills was still plotting against him.
As soon as his figure appeared, the opponent turned his head and closed his iron palms, trying to crush him to death like slapping a mosquito.
Fortunately, the time just now was long enough, and Zhang Shi's instant shadow step had accumulated two layers of charge. Zhang Shi flashed behind Zhao Feng in an instant, and only then did he escape the attack.
"Damn, this monkey is quite cunning!"
Zhao Feng dealt with it for a while, felt a little exhausted, and took a big sip of monkey wine to recover.
The wound on the back of the Mandrill King was not light, and the staggering appearance just now was not fake. At this time, the musketeers took over the archers and launched a second round of volleys. The Mandrill King quickly stood up and retreated to the back. As if performing a magic trick, he took out a huge sheepskin bag from his waist while running and poured an unknown liquid into his mouth in a serious manner.
"Isn't it drinking Monkey Bar too?"
