Chapter 46 Mandrill
Jiang Chao rarely got up early and appeared at the source of the spring in clear daylight.
Of course, it’s not just to see the scene of the witch Yu Mu.
After not coming out for a few days, he looked down the mountain and saw that the hot springs at the bottom of the mountain had completely changed and became very lively after only a few days.
The spring pools that were originally messy and overgrown with weeds have been sorted out and turned into several large and small spring pools along the stream. They are also surrounded by stones, surrounded by fences and straw sheds, and they look quite interesting.
Although there is only a black dot looking down at the figure, you can see that there are quite a few people coming and going, and it is estimated that there will be more and more people in the future.
Jiang Chao: "How many people are going up the mountain?"
Wang Shu: "There is only one person, and there is another one waiting below, but..."
Jiang Chao: "But what?"
Wang Shu: "In the past two days, there have been many sneaky people trying to find a place, climbing up the mountain, or sneaking up."
Jiang Chao: "You have to take care of it."
Wang Shu: "They are not allowed to steal the witch's bath water and drink it?"
Jiang Chao: "We can't let them come up casually. It's okay on the mountain, but it would be troublesome if they entered the cave and followed the sounds and saw the construction going on inside."
"Aren't we currently carrying out preliminary planning and construction in the cave? Before the construction is completed, if people keep pouring in, trouble will definitely occur."
Wang Shu: "Go and fire a few rounds of palm thunder to kill and cripple a few to shock you?"
Although the behavior of these guys was a bit outrageous, Jiang Chao felt that just stealing bath water was not a serious crime.
And it's more because you want to use some way to prevent the opponent from going up the mountain and breaking into the cave during this period, rather than punishment. As long as the construction is completed after this period of time, there is no need to worry too much.
Jiang Chao: "Isn't there a mandrill?"
Wang Shu: "Let it eat the guy who dares to break in?"
Jiang Chao: "Just show a little shadow."
——
Inside the cave.
"Ding ding!"
"Clang!"
Lights shine down from high places, giving a clear view of the empty cave.
The "mandrill" wore a helmet that covered his eyes, and his ears were tightly wrapped.
now.
He was wielding a surprisingly large pickaxe, knocking off pieces of stone, and then loading them into a wooden cart.
After a period of time, the ape's appearance changed drastically from before.
Perhaps because the nutrition provided by Wangshu was relatively sufficient, the giant ape's hair, which originally appeared red and burnt due to pregnancy and lack of nutrition, grew back and turned into a shiny black color.
The withered body became stronger, and the eyes that were originally protruding with a sinister light became deeper.
Apart from its height, it is estimated that even those who have seen it before would not be able to recognize it for a while and that it is the same ape.
Jiang Chao looked at the skilled movements of the "mandrill": "What is it doing?"
Wang Shu said: "Limestone is now being collected and sent to the cave on the other side, where there is a temporary facility for burning lime and bricks."
Jiang Chao looked at it for a while: "Although it looks very strong, it doesn't mean much to you!"
No matter how strong and intimidating the mandrill looks, it may even look like a ghost to outsiders.
But for Jiang Chao and Wang Shu, it is still just flesh and blood, and there is no way to compare it with machinery.
Wang Shu: "But we have nothing now. Even the cart is made of wood. It can still help with some things at this stage."
"However, its effect will indeed be less in the future."
"After all, mandrills are still less intelligent."
"But no matter what, it is useful, it just depends on where it is used."
Jiang Chao: "That's just right. It would be much more convenient to use it to patrol the mountains and deter random people, or to do other things outside."
However, there is a problem.
Wang Shu's method is really stable and whether it can really control this "mandrill". Even if it can be controlled, to what extent can it be controlled?
Next, Wang Shu showed some of the "research results" of the past few days.
The first thing is whether you can control this mandrill, it is a ferocious beast.
Jiang Chao stood in front of the passage high up in the cave, while the ape knelt on the ground respectfully.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
After a while, the ape let out a cry of panic. It looked left and right and stretched out its hands in an attempt to stand up.
But before he could stand up, he fell to the ground, as if he had forgotten to even walk and stand.
Wangshu can instantly deprive it of its vision, hearing, and sense of direction and balance, and can also make it lose consciousness instantly. In addition, there are micro-bombs in its body that can be activated instantly, and can open a big hole in its heart.
And about how much control can be achieved.
Jiang Chao had seen the ape's psychic ability before, but it was even more exaggerated at this moment.
This ape seems to be able to understand people's speech. It can go left when asked left, go right when told right, and stay still when asked to stand at attention.
According to Wang Shu, the helmet and goggles it is wearing have light indicators and sound commands to achieve this.
Jiang Chao: "Is this experimental report you pulled out of the inventory really so powerful, and can it just be used on this ancient ape?"
Wang Shu: "Not only is this method powerful, but it is also powerful when used on a mandrill. This mandrill has the wisdom of a seven or eight-year-old child."
Jiang Chao: "Is this really an ape?"
Wangshu: "What is it if it's not an ape?"
Jiang Chao: "Is it another human race left behind in ancient times?"
Wang Shu: "Although it has the wisdom of a seven or eight-year-old child, no matter how it is developed, it is only equivalent to it. It will never be truly equivalent, and it is impossible to make it do things that only humans can do."
Jiang Chao: "So?"
Wang Shu: "So it's just a monkey, not a human. In fact, the genetic difference between you and people of this era is also very big, so according to the regulations..."
Jiang Chao interrupted her: "There is no need to talk about this kind of thing."
Jiang Chao originally felt that it might be better to kill this ferocious beast that had eaten people, because it had tasted human flesh, and who knew whether it would do it again in the future.
But now it seems that it still has some effect.
Jiang Chao stood high.
The ape could only look up at him. In the ape's eyes at this moment, the figure from a high place that could emit "thunder and lightning" and could control its life and death from a long distance seemed extremely tall.
Jiang Chao looked at it carefully for a while and then said.
"Next, let's let it work part-time as a security guard and doorman!"
"It should serve as a deterrent while it's not completed yet."
At this point, this "mandrill" has truly saved a life.
Jiang Chao turned around.
The lights went out one by one.
——
In the dark.
A tall, giant-like shadow wearing a helmet and a long string connected to the back of his head walked in the passage.
Occasionally, it will poke its head out of a cave or appear in a corner of the mountain to look at the situation outside.
It appears and disappears within the mountain.
Patrolling the territory of outsiders that day.
It was as if he had truly become the mandrill in the myth and legend.
