Chapter 29: Palm Thunder(1/2)
The mountains are high, the forests are deep, and the shadows of the trees are layered.
Suddenly, a loud noise came from the shadows of the trees in the deep forest.
"Bang!"
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
The birds in the forest took off one after another and circled high in the sky.
Jiang Chao held a pistol in his other hand and was aiming at the target on the tree.
Wangshu knew it and asked, "Did you hit it?"
Jiang Chao: "Practice for a while longer."
Spring has begun.
The weather has been good these days, with bright and clear skies every day. The sun penetrates the canopy of trees and casts beams of light, forming golden patches of varying sizes on the ground.
Jiang Chao would also come out from time to time, walking around in the "Shenyuan" that occupied most of the mountain, and practicing "Thunder Palm" by the way.
At the beginning, I told Wang Shu that if I mastered my marksmanship, I could go out and hunt some game, but it seems far away at the moment.
Jiang Chao: "Is the rifle better?"
Wang Shu: "Can't the rifle be used as a palm thunder?"
Jiang Chao: "Is this important?"
Wang Shu: "Then it's called a lightning whip. The semi-automatic rifle can also be called a five-bang lightning whip."
Jiang Chao was wearing the round-collar black military uniform, and the silver moon behind him seemed to be shining in the light. He was standing in the woods leisurely with a gun in his hand, looking like he was on an early spring safari.
Jiang Chao raised his gun and fired again.
"Bang!"
At this time, a strange roar suddenly came from the top of a nearby mountain, resounding through the sky, as if it was fighting against Jiang Chao's "palm thunder" sound.
Jiang Chao was stunned for a moment and looked into the distance.
"What's barking?"
Wangshu: "It's an ape."
Jiang Chao: "The sound is really loud."
At this moment, he inexplicably remembered a poem: The apes on both sides of the bank couldn't stop crying, and the boat had passed the Ten Thousand Mountains.
——
On the other side of the mountain.
The group of people held hatchets while cutting through thorns and climbing up the mountain.
After the beginning of spring, the flowers, plants and trees in the mountains began to revive. In just ten days, various weeds appeared one after another. Mountain people also began to go up the mountain to collect firewood, picking up some dead wood or fallen branches in winter and burning them at home.
Or carry it to the city and sell it.
I was walking on the road beside the woodcutter, when suddenly a violent roar came from behind me.
The sound was like a thunderous explosion, making everyone's hearts tremble and the hairs all over their bodies stand on end.
The woodcutter looked behind him one after another, poked his head around, clenched the hatchet in his hand, and stared at it for a long time with his eyes wide open.
"What sound?"
"It sounded like thunder!"
"Thunder."
But when I raised my head, I couldn't even see the clouds. Where was the thunder coming from?
"The sky is clear and the sun is bright, where does the thunder come from?"
"a bolt from the blue?"
"What's going on?"
"It seems that it came from the Shenfeng Mountain."
The mountain not far away was just an ordinary mountain in the Yunbi Mountains, and it was not eye-catching in the eyes of the villagers.
But since Yunbi was born there and the Yunzhongjun Shrine was built, the mountain also had a name.
It's called Shenfeng.
A lot of mountain people have come to the area around Shenfeng recently, but this area is unclaimed land. During the previous expedition, many areas suitable for reclamation and house building were created.
Now the mountain people who came from the depths of the mountains have settled there, and currently they don't have much interaction with the local people.
The woodcutter talked a lot, but soon he continued walking up. But before he took a few steps, a shadow appeared deep in the jungle.
The figure stood upright in the deep shade of the trees, and the deep shadows of the trees completely covered his figure, making it impossible for people to see his appearance clearly.
At first, the people collecting firewood didn't notice anything. They just thought it was someone from a nearby village or a new mountain dweller, so they looked at the "person" and asked.
"Which one?"
"who?"
"Shout Sa."
"Why don't you speak?"
But as they watched, some people in the crowd noticed something was wrong.
At this time, someone took a few steps forward and wanted to ask more. Someone behind him stopped him and whispered uneasily.
"Don't go any further."
"What's wrong?"
"That thing is not human."
"Not a human?"
"Look, how can a person grow so tall?"
Everyone suddenly felt their bodies stiffen, as if they had returned to the coldest month of winter again.
Look again and you will find it.
Although the thing had the outline of a human at first glance, its figure was not that of a human being. It stood up and directly reached the crown of the tree.
How can ordinary people grow so tall?
Everyone fell into silence. They were panicking to the extreme, but the more they became so, the less they dared to move or make a sound.
They tried to retreat silently. At this time, the "person" deep in the shadow of the trees moved. It jumped up, and in an instant, it crossed a distance of more than ten meters and was exposed to the light.
This time, everyone also saw his appearance.
The leader was the closest and saw the most clearly. He was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground for a moment.
"ah!"
"Oh~"
Everyone screamed, and the fear seemed to turn into reality, spraying out from the chest and down the throat.
"What is this."
"Monster, it's a monster!"
"Run quickly."
It was an ape, but it stood much taller than a human being. An adult standing only reached the ape's chest.
The ape didn't know where it came from. It was so skinny that half of its fur had fallen off. It looked like it was bald here and there.
Because of my thinness, my eyes seem to be bulging out.
Those protruding eyes are shining with penetrating light, and one look at them seems to have some invisible power that makes the fear in people's hearts rise to the point where they can't control their bodies. They look like evil spirits escaping from the underworld.
As ferocious as a ghost.
The ape pounced, bit a man on the shoulder and knocked him to the ground.
The huge figure pressed down, and everyone couldn't see clearly what the situation was, but they could see blood dripping down.
"clang!"
And the hatchet originally held in the man's hand also made a crisp sound when it fell on the stone.
The remaining people were so frightened that they fled in all directions. Some people could still find a way out, but some people threw themselves directly into the forest, and they didn't know where they went.
The ape opened its bloody mouth and let out a terrifying roar.
"Woo!"
The sky is getting dark.
A large group of people entered the mountain holding torches. Each person held various weapons in their hands, including sharp bamboo poles, hoes, sickles, and rakes.
