I am a fairy

Chapter 46 Mandrill
Jiang Chao got up early, which was unusual for him, and appeared at the source of the hot spring in broad daylight.

Of course, it’s not to see the witch bathing in the hot spring.

He hadn't been out for a few days and looked down the mountain. In just a few days, the hot springs at the foot of the mountain had completely changed and became extremely lively.

The originally messy and overgrown spring pool has been tidied up and turned into several large and small spring pools along the stream. They are all surrounded by stones and have fences and straw huts around them, which looks quite interesting.

Although the human figure is just a black dot when looking down, you can see that there are quite a few people coming and going, and it is estimated that there will be more and more in the future.

Jiang Chao: "How many people went up the mountain?"

Wangshu: "There is only one person, and there is another one waiting below, but..."

Jiang Chao: "But what?"

Wangshu: "These past two days, there have been many people sneaking up the mountain looking for a place to hide."

Jiang Chao: "We have to take care of it."

Wangshu: "Don't allow them to steal the witch's bath water to drink?"

Jiang Chao: "We can't let them come up casually. It's okay if they go up the mountain, but if they go into the cave and make many twists and turns, and follow the sound and see the construction going on inside, it will be troublesome."

"We are currently carrying out preliminary planning and construction in the cave. If people continue to pour in before the construction is completed, there will definitely be trouble."

Wangshu: "Go fire a few palm thunders to kill or maim a few people to scare them?"

Although these guys' behavior was a bit outrageous, Jiang Chao felt that stealing bath water was not a serious enough crime.

And it's more because we want to prevent the other party from going up the mountain and entering the cave in some way, rather than punishing them. As long as the construction is completed after this period of time, there is no need to worry too much.

Jiang Chao: "Aren't there mandrills?"

Wangshu: "Let it eat the guy who dares to come in?"

Jiang Chao: "Just a little bit of your shadow will be enough."

Inside the cave.

"Ding Ding!"

"Clang!"

Lights shine down from above, revealing the empty cave.

The "mandrill" wore a helmet that covered its eyes and its ears were tightly wrapped.

now.

He was wielding an unusually large pickaxe, knocking down pieces of stone and loading them into a wooden cart.

After a period of time, the appearance of the monkey has changed drastically from before.

Perhaps it was because Wangshu provided sufficient nutrition. The giant ape's hair, which had originally appeared red and burnt yellow due to pregnancy and lack of nutrition, grew back and turned into a shiny black color.

The shriveled body became stronger, and the eyes that were originally bulging and emitting a creepy and evil light became deep.

Apart from its height, even if people who have seen it before were asked to recognize it again, they would not be able to tell that it is the same monkey for a while.

Jiang Chao looked at the skilled movements of the "mandrill": "What is it doing?"

Wangshu said: "The limestone is being collected and then sent to the cave on the other side. There is a temporary facility for burning lime and bricks there."

Jiang Chao looked at it for a while and said, "Although it looks very strong, it doesn't mean much to you!"

No matter how strong and intimidating a mandrill may look, it may even look like a ghost to outsiders.

But to Jiang Chao and Wangshu, it is still just a flesh and blood body and cannot be compared with a machine in any way.

Wangshu: "But we have nothing right now. Even the cart is made of wood. It can still help with some things at this stage."

"But it will indeed be less useful later on."

"After all, mandrills are still relatively intelligent."

"But no matter what, it is effective. It just depends on where it is used."

Jiang Chao: "That's perfect. It's much more convenient to use it to patrol the mountains and deter people who trespass, or to do other things outside."

However, there is a problem. Is Wangshu's method reliable? Can it really control this "mandrill"? Even if it can be controlled, to what extent can it be controlled?

Next, Wangshu showed the “research results” of the past few days.

The first thing is whether we can control this mandrill, which is a ferocious beast.

Jiang Chao stood in front of a passage high up in the cave, and the monkey knelt on the ground respectfully.

"Squeak squeak!"

After a while, the monkey let out a panic cry, looked around, and reached out with its hands to try to stand up.

But before he could stand up, he fell to the ground, as if he had forgotten how to walk and stand.

Wangshu can instantly deprive it of its vision, hearing, and sense of balance, and can also make it lose consciousness instantly. In addition, there are micro-bombs in its body that can be activated instantly, which can create a large hole in its heart.

As for to what extent it can be controlled.

Jiang Chao had seen the psychic abilities of this ape before, and it was even more exaggerated at this moment.

This monkey seemed to understand human speech. If told to go left, it would go left; if told to go right, it would go right; and if told to stand at attention, it would stay still.

According to Wangshu, this is achieved through light indicators on the visor of the helmet it wears, combined with voice commands.

Jiang Chao: "Is this experimental report you found in the inventory really so amazing, and can it be used on this ancient ape?"

Wangshu: "It's not just this method that's powerful, it's the method used on the mandrill that's powerful. This mandrill has the wisdom of a seven or eight-year-old child."

Jiang Chao: "Is this really a monkey?"

Wangshu: "If it's not a monkey, then what is it?"

Jiang Chao: "Is it another race left behind in ancient times?"

Wangshu: "Although it has the intelligence of a seven or eight-year-old child, no matter how much it is developed, it can only be equivalent to it. It can never be truly equal to it, and it is impossible to make it do things that only humans can do."

Jiang Chao: "So?"

Wangshu: "So it's just a monkey, not a human. And actually, if you really count it, there's a big difference between you and the people of this era at the genetic level, so according to the regulations..."

Jiang Chao interrupted her: "There's no need to talk about this kind of thing."

Jiang Chao originally thought that it might be better to kill this ferocious beast that had eaten humans, because after it had tasted human flesh, who knew if it would do it again.

But now it seems to be of some effect.

Jiang Chao stood on a high place.

The monkey could only look up at him. At this moment, in the eyes of the monkey, the figure on the high place who could emit "thunder and lightning" and control its life and death from a long distance seemed incomparably tall.

Jiang Chao looked at it carefully for a while, then spoke.

"Next, let it work part-time as a security guard and doorman!"

“It should serve as a deterrent while it’s still in progress.”

Only at this point did the "mandrill" truly survive.

Jiang Chao turned around.

The lights went out one by one.
-
in the dark.

A tall shadow like a giant was walking in the passage with a helmet and a long string attached to the back of his head.

Occasionally it would poke its head out from a cave or appear in a corner of the mountain to look at the situation outside.

It appears and disappears mysteriously within the mountain.

Patrolling the territory of the outsider that day.

It was as if he had truly become the mandrill in the myth and legend.
