Hidden Mountain Demon

Chapter 5
In the tangled weeds on a low cliff, a leopard was panting on its stomach, and not far away was a semi-great white ape squatting, its eyes gleaming, and it was quietly looking at the weak leopard.

Not far behind the leopard, a rook lay sprawled on its back, motionless, not knowing whether it was dead or alive.

"You want to eat me!!!"

"Chi--" The response was a fierce short hiss.

"What?"

"You——, have gas and fragrance; eat and be strong."

"..."

Not long ago, two beasts and one bird escaped from the color pool, wishing to stay far away from the yellow tiger, and ran desperately for more than ten miles, and just arrived at the bottom of this low slope, intending to take a rest.

Who knew that the white ape suddenly got into trouble, and slapped the red-billed crow leading the way away with one palm, and rushed straight at the leopard. Ban Cang was injured on his back and buttocks, and ran away in a panic for more than ten years. Li Lu, a lot of blood flowed, his strength was exhausted, and he was already at the end of his battle.

Fortunately, the white ape was not big in stature, after a lot of fighting, he managed to fight, and after getting a few scars on each of them, they jumped away from each other.

Now that they confronted each other, Ban Cang felt bitterness in his heart, after a fight, he was breathing heavily and could barely stand up, but the injury of the white ape was not that serious.

Bursts of pain came, piercing to the bone, if he didn't lick the wound, he would bleed to death before the white ape made a move.

His pale yellow eyes stared coldly at the opposite white ape, and there was a little pitiful feeling secretly condensed in his chest.

The white ape slowly licked a faint scar on his arm, as if he knew that the leopard would not last long, so he stopped trying to attack, and even showed a strange smile on his face.

It is very smart, whether it saves the leopard that is about to die in the tiger's mouth, or runs for more than ten miles, and then suddenly attacks after everyone relaxes their vigilance, and does not attack now, just watching the leopard slowly exhausted The last trace of life.

It is cautious and has a good sense of timing.

"Ruined……"

Ban Cang really wanted to delay time, he really didn't want to be eaten cruelly by a monkey.

"You saved me just to eat me?"

"Ho ho, I met a rabbit before, it's so powerful, it took a lot of effort to catch it," the white ape said after a pause.

"Eat, it's delicious, and there is fog on your body, just like you."

As he spoke, a bright red tongue licked his lips, and his eyes were blurred, as if reminiscing.

"I can teach you, you can also have fog, and you are also amazing."

"No,—eat meat—, hurry up!"

"..."

Thinking about the tragedy of being eaten by monkeys, Ban Cang couldn't help but get goose bumps all over his body.

"Ahh-"

Pulling up the last bit of strength in his body, Ban Cang turned his head and picked up the half-dead red-billed crow in his mouth, and rushed straight towards the white ape.

The white ape was startled, looking at the fierce and angry leopard, subconsciously jumped to the side.

The leopard didn't want to fight with the white ape any more, and after rushing over, it jumped off the short cliff next to it.

Not crazy, not live.

Ban Cang doesn't want to die, even if he dies, he still wants to die happily.

Under the short cliff is the mountain water that came out after the heavy rain in the forest. It was very dirty and quickly.

The white ape squeaked and screamed on the short cliff, beat its chest and stamped its feet angrily, and ran wildly with the current for a while, until the leopard could no longer be seen, so it had to leave angrily.

In the boundless darkness, I don't know how many times I have been ups and downs in the water, and I don't know how far I have been carried by the impact of the water. The red-billed crow has long been washed away.

When Ban Cang gradually recovered a little feeling, he was still soaking in the water, but he obviously felt that the water flow around him had slowed down a lot, and there seemed to be a slight warm current swimming in his stomach.

Ban Cang began to struggle vigorously, and finally, he climbed onto the shore. The surrounding environment was very strange, and he didn't dare to stay any longer, struggling to crawl on all four legs trembling.

After half a day, he finally climbed to a forest not far away, found a narrow tree hole and lay down, with a long trail of water trailing behind him.

. . .

Ban Cang was very tired, very sleepy, and his whole body was extremely sore... After lying down for a while, he found that he couldn't move.

His mind was muddled, his thoughts had long since disappeared, and he could only feel like needles pricking his body, constantly stimulating his nerves.

After a long time, he still couldn't speak, couldn't move his body, and even his eyelids became extremely heavy, so he simply closed his eyes.

The only luck is that he gradually felt the faint warm current in his abdomen again, like a flickering weak flame in the vast darkness, he began to concentrate all his energy on his abdomen and feel it quietly.

The warm current flowed slowly in the abdomen, and he also breathed slowly with the rhythm of the flow, Ban Cang didn't know the meaning of this, but it seemed that the pain on his body could be relieved a little.

The sun and the moon alternated, and I don't know how long it has passed.

It was midsummer at this time, insects were singing and birds were singing everywhere, but in the tree hole under a dead tree in the forest, it was as dead and silent, it was the place where the spotted green lingered.

The dim light shone in, and it was reflected on a dark and thin figure. If it weren't for the occasional heaving of the chest, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was dead.

At this time, the hair on Ban Cang's body was dry, and the hideous flesh at the wound was rolled up. The black and brown edges were the blood scabs after the blood had solidified and dried up.

Exhaling more through the nasal cavity, taking in less, living with a will, the warm current in the abdomen has gradually begun to flow to the chest.

But... can it survive?

Dragging a seriously injured body, it has been struggling for nearly ten days without a drop of water or food. I am afraid that no matter how powerful the beast is, the chance of surviving is slim.

"Rumble..."

A mighty thunderclap came, startling Ban Cang who was in the dead silence.

The crackling rain hit the tree trunk, and Ban Cang listened to the sound of rain weakly, but in this state, Ban Cang had an extremely mysterious and strange feeling.

As if being in the void, the boundless torrential rain washed and beat on his body, and the thunder and lightning danced, shaking his mind. The torrential rain was violent and unstoppable.

The warm current in Ban Cang's chest and abdomen also began to surge and wash in the body, wandering back and forth.

This mysterious feeling didn't last long, but it was like a dose of quick-acting needle, pulling the dying Ban Cang back from the dying line.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

The raindrops gradually began to become finer.

"Pa-ta..." "Pa-ta..." "Pa-ta..."

The summer rainstorm comes quickly and goes quickly.

When the sound of the rain gradually stopped, the water vapor on the ground began to slowly evaporate.Small streams of water flow slowly along the rocks and weeds into the crevices and tree holes.

The rain moistens the living beings and all things sprout.

Licking the turbid muddy water, a faint light began to flash in the dark eyes, and the turbulent breath in the body gradually rushed away from the stiff body and limbs.

"Finally... I survived!"

Taking a long breath of the earthy smell after the rain, he straightened his dilapidated body, and stepped out of the tree hole precariously.

Stepping on the dry grass and fallen leaves under your feet, looking at the mountains and rivers gradually gathered by small streams in the river outside the forest.He knew that he had regained his life again.

The breeze is blowing, and the sky and the earth are clear.

Thinking about how many times I was near death, and how many times the great horror between life and death, a feeling of depression welled up in my heart, and I couldn't vomit.

"Roar!!!"

With head held high and chest high, a long howl shook the mountains and forests.The milk leopard howled in the valley, and all the beasts panicked.

In the long roar, Ban Cang's eyes were full of determination.Thick black mist escaped vigorously from his body, covering his whole body in an instant.

After going through some life and death trials.

The spots are broken and then stand up.
