He heard the sound of it before he saw it.

Just as I finished cursing, a Scrawny Monkey holding his spear entered Wu Ji's and my line of sight.

Because we were prepared, Wu Ji and I hid in the bushes to the side. That person walked past us, but didn't notice us.

We waited for a moment, then, seeing that no one else was coming after him, stepped out of the bushes.

"Why are there others here?" I was puzzled.

It was obvious that with this question, Wu Ji had his own suspicions. Looking at the direction of the Scrawny Monkey, perhaps it was from the other side that had entered the Xiao Xi Kou, but he did not know what its purpose was.

"That guy with the gun is definitely not a good person, it's better if we don't go too far, and I can see what the big mouse is holding in his mouth, it's just a bloody person, maybe he's an accomplice of Scrawny Monkey, that's why he chased after that big rat." I was a little nervous when I thought about it.

He wasn't particularly afraid when he saw the white bones, because he knew they were people who had died a long time ago. He had also seen them before in the school biology class.

However, a person covered in bloody wounds would have a completely different sense of vision. Not only was it visual, it was also psychological!

We guessed that the big rat had injured Scrawny Monkey's accomplices, which was why the Scrawny Monkey had opened fire. However, we didn't expect that the big mouse wasn't killed, and we were even shocked by it, causing it to fly around wildly like a headless fly.

I want to avoid these people as much as possible, and even had plans to advise Wu Ji to immediately leave this place.

Because if there's only some wild animal or spirit in the forest, we can still deal with it with our abilities.

But if we were to face off against humans, Wu Ji and I would become the weaker party.

Moreover, in this world, the most terrifying species were humans.

But Wu Ji didn't think so, because he believed that those people could enter the Xiao Xi Kou. Perhaps they knew the secret clue hidden within the Xiao Xi Kou, and might be able to learn some news from their mouths.

"Could it be that you want to look for the Scrawny Monkey?" I was a little surprised by Wu Ji's thoughts. He was always calm, and wasn't someone who would make such a dangerous decision.

But the secret within the Xiao Xi Kou seemed to have caused the calm him to disregard everything else, and the stubbornness in his actions made it hard for me to understand.

After a while, more gunshots were heard in the distance.

Wu Ji said that there's no need for us to show ourselves. As long as we carefully hide our tracks, we should secretly follow Scrawny Monkey to see what he's up to.

He didn't look like someone who would be easy to get along with, and he even had a gun in his hands. But honestly speaking, I was curious about the third person that suddenly appeared in Xiao Xi Kou, his real purpose for coming here.

This time, curiosity triumphed over my few reasons.

After making up our minds, Wu Ji and I also went forward to find the Scrawny Monkey.

Before long, we saw Scrawny Monkey standing there with his hands on his waist. The big rat in front of him was completely dead, with bloody bullet holes all over its body.

At the time, I thought, it still seemed better to have a gun in my hand. Earlier, Wu Ji and I were chased around by a stinky bug, but this Scrawny Monkey had a gun in her hand and chased the big mouse everywhere.

We hid behind the tree and watched as the Scrawny Monkey took two breaths and then went forward to pull open the big mouse's mouth. The person that it was tightly holding onto immediately tumbled to the ground.

From the looks of it, that person had already been bitten into two halves, and his intestines were flowing out. Only the flesh on his back was still attached to him, making him look extremely bloody, but his head was still intact.

Scrawny Monkey seemed to be a chatterbox as he continuously muttered to himself. "Bro, you can't blame yourself for not finding me, I've also given my all in order to save you, but looking at you now, I have no other choice. But don't worry, I will take good care of your sweetheart for you, and help you take your treasure out. Although I can't send you out, I, Ol 'Six promise to give you the entire memorial grave, and bury you there. "

"This Scrawny Monkey is quite loyal." I couldn't help but say.

Wu Ji lightly snorted. "He's just a person who died for the money."

Just as he was about to ask what this meant, Scrawny Monkey took out a few items from the corpse's pocket and placed them into his own bag.

As for those few small items, they looked like gold and jade jewelry, and the color was a bit old.

I immediately understood what Wu Ji meant.

"Didn't you say that Xiao Xi Kou isn't suitable for burial? Why is there an ancient tomb here?" Seeing that, I asked Wu Ji suspiciously.

He shook his head slightly and gave me a questioning look.

After that, Scrawny Monkey took the items out of the bag and poured the contents out. He picked a few items and put them into his own bag, then stood up and scolded again, "What the hell is this place?"

"He doesn't know that this is the Xiao Xi Kou." I was surprised.

"It could have been during the fight." Wu Ji said in a low voice.

I want to say, if that's the case, then this man is no longer of use to us.

Wu Ji also had this intention, he signaled us to retreat, to leave this place, and to no longer pay attention to the Scrawny Monkey.

However, Wu Ji and I's wishful thinking failed to work.

We were just about to find a place to rest for a while, but didn't expect that we would actually run into the Scrawny Monkey!

and I had clearly chosen to go in the opposite direction from the Scrawny Monkey just now and thought that he would definitely go back the way he came from.

When Scrawny Monkey saw the two of us, he was startled, he should be the same as us, he never expected to see other living people in the forest.

Wu Ji indicated that I should not act rashly, and he even stood in front of me with a single step, tightly blocking me behind him.

Scrawny Monkey was stunned for half a minute before he suddenly asked: "You guys …. Is it a person? "

Towards this strange question, Wu Ji and I did not answer.

Scrawny Monkey did not dare to rashly go forward and asked, "Are you the villagers here?"

This time Wu Ji answered: "We are from Dongkanzi Village."

"That's great. Do you know how to get out? " When the Scrawny Monkey heard it, he seemed very happy and even let out a long sigh of relief.

This time Wu Ji did not answer, but asked, "Then who are you?"

Scrawny Monkey rolled his eyes and said with a grin: "I was hunting at a nearby mountain, and accidentally entered this forest, no matter what I couldn't get out of it, since you guys are from a nearby village, I'll go back with you."

The Scrawny Monkey said as he was about to step forward, but Wu Ji pulled me back a few steps and pointed at the spear in his hand.

Seeing that we were worried about his gun, the Scrawny Monkey chuckled and threw his gun into his backpack, saying that it was used for hunting.

After seeing that he did not have any other weapons in his hands, Wu Ji allowed him to walk forward, but I could still tell that he was still extremely vigilant.

"Little brother, little sister, what are you two doing in the forest? By the way, did you see anything in the forest... "Cough, something unusual." Scrawny Monkey asked tentatively.

Wu Ji shook his head: "I heard that there are precious herbs in the forest that can be sold for money, so we brought my sister here to look for them. What do you mean by unusual? "

I watched Wu Ji pretending to be a simple and honest little brother from the village with an idiot face, I almost vomited blood while laughing.

He didn't realize before that Ye Zichen was still a guy with big bro's acting skills, other than his looks that were too handsome, his simple and honest temperament was acting properly.

But in my heart, I knew that beneath this simple and honest mask, there was a heart more shrewd than a fox's.

Scrawny Monkey didn't seem to doubt our words, he only kept on asking when we would return to the village, and seeing that it was getting late.

The appearance of Scrawny Monkey messed up my and Wu Ji's plans, I don't know what he is planning now.

"Then how did you get into the woods? Are you alone? " Wu Ji also probed the Scrawny Monkey's background.

But one of them was a ghostly monkey and the other was a cunning fox, and as I watched, I didn't think either of them was telling the truth.

Later, Wu Ji said that we also planned to return to the village.

When Scrawny Monkey heard this, he immediately became happy and hurriedly wanted to follow us.
