Dimension Demon's Chat Group

Chapter 64 Catch the tongue
After escaping from those strange monkeys, the members of the expedition ran all the way and finally arrived at a cave.

The guide Liu Mingyuan in the team seemed to have some understanding of the terrain here.

Under his leadership, everyone came to an open space and took a long-awaited rest.

Ben subconsciously sat cross-legged on the ground, recalling what had just happened, and couldn't help cursing:
"Damn, are those guys really monkeys?"

"From a species perspective, it's indeed an ordinary Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkey, but its speed, strength, intelligence, and highly organized behavior are simply... simply..."

The white-bearded old man sitting next to him had shining eyes and spoke incoherently, seeming to be very interested in the strange behavior of these monkeys.

Ben frowned and quietly moved to the side a few times, away from the white-bearded old man.

The Indian student sitting next to him saw this and couldn't help but whisper, "Sir, you've noticed too, Professor Baird is really acting out of character today..."

Ben glanced at him and recognized him as Professor Baird's student Jin Bao, so he said casually:

"Such enthusiasm is indeed a bit abnormal."

"It's not enthusiasm... it's too calm!"

Jin Bao shook his head. Ben was stunned when he heard this. He turned his head and glanced at Professor Baird, and asked in surprise: "Is this what you call calm?"

Jin Bao whispered, "Based on my understanding of him, even if his life is in danger, facing this rare monkey, he will rush forward alone to try to capture it, even if it means losing his life..."

Ben was surprised and said, "Is this old man so brave?"

Jin Bao was silent for a moment, then spoke again: "It's not just him. We're all too calm. And look, since when has everyone, including you and me, become like this..."

"..."

Ben was stunned when he heard this, and glanced at everyone in the cave. Only then did he realize that everyone was resting in the same posture - including himself!

Looking at himself sitting cross-legged on the ground with his head tilted upwards, he felt his scalp tingle and a chill surge in his heart.

But then, the chill was dispelled by the warmth that surged from my back.

It seemed as if his body was telling him, keep this posture, it will be good for you!
Gradually, Ben was convinced by his body and stopped thinking about the reason for this strange situation. Instead, he began to enjoy the feeling.

At the same time, behind a crack in the rock wall, a group of six people were silently observing these meditating foreigners.

"According to Jin Feng, the Qi situation has less impact on extraordinary people, so these ghosts in the cave who are full of anger should be ordinary people who have been affected, right?"

Xia Liuqing glanced at the three people who were not affected and whispered, "Only three strangers..."

Granny Jinfeng shook her head and said, "There are definitely more than that. Three strangers can't possibly protect them from the monkeys."

Xia Liuqing asserted, "That means there are still people covering our retreat!"

Zhang Chulan squatted behind the crowd, looking at everyone in the cave with a slightly frown.

It had been a long time since Grandma Jinfeng was kidnapped. Assuming they really got a clue from Grandma Jinfeng, they should have taken away Wu Gensheng's collection long ago!

It was such a coincidence to run into this group of people at this time, it was as if they were deliberately waiting for them to come...

Just as Zhang Chulan was lost in thought, Xia Liuqing suddenly turned around, looked at the silent Zhang Chulan and Wang Zhenqiu, frowned and said, "You two rascals, you're always full of evil intentions, why are you so silent now?"

"..."

Zhang Chulan came back to his senses and found that Wang Zhenqiu was also silent, which was unusual for him.

Could it be...that he also thinks there is something wrong?

The two looked at each other, then looked away tacitly, neither choosing to express their guess.

"There's no point in speculating here..." Barron stood up and glanced at the people around him. "Since someone is covering their retreat, then right now must be their weakest moment!"

"..."

Everyone looked at each other, and soon reached a consensus, deciding to take this opportunity to catch the tongue back.

Hiding one's aura and knocking people unconscious are things that Sister Baoer is naturally best at.

Zhang Chulan whispered a few words of instruction, Feng Baobao nodded, and immediately took action.

Not long after, she dragged a stranger back to the cave.

"As expected of Sister Baoer, her moves are——"

Before he could finish his words, Zhang Chulan's voice abruptly stopped, and his steps froze instantly. Not only him, but everyone else, including Wang Zhenqiu and Barron, stared at Feng Baobao in astonishment and solemnity.

"Sister Baoer, what are you doing..."

Zhang Chulan said with an extremely serious expression.

Feng Baobao blinked and said as a matter of course: "Catch the tongue!"

"..."

Everyone looked at the figure behind Feng Baobao and fell silent.

Only Granny Jinfeng was confused and frowned as she asked, "Everyone, is there something wrong?"

"Grandma, you probably didn't observe those people in the cave carefully just now..."

Wang Zhenqiu pushed his glasses down, looked at the 'tongue' and said coldly, "This guy is not even in that group!"

Grandma Jinfeng was startled when she heard this and quickly turned around to look. She saw a handsome young man in a white T-shirt standing behind Feng Baobao.

At this moment, the young man's arms were tied behind his back with ropes, and his mouth was taped. Only his dark eyes were slightly curved, as if he was smiling at them...

"Shh-"

With a sound of breaking air, Barron instantly appeared in front of the young man, holding the dagger in his hand to the young man's neck, and said coldly:

"Say! Who are you!"

"..."

The young man blinked his eyes and moved his mouth which was blocked by tape, revealing a helpless expression.

Barron frowned slightly and glanced at Wang Zhenqiu and Xia Liuqing behind him. The two immediately stepped forward, stood in different positions, and surrounded the sudden uninvited guest from three directions.

Taking this opportunity, Zhang Chulan quickly called Feng Baobao back.

After everyone was in place, Barron cautiously reached out and tore off the tape on the young man's mouth.

"Huh~ I can finally talk!"

The handsome young man let out a long sigh, then turned his gaze and said unhappily to Feng Baobao, "Little girl, next time you tie someone up, remember to use a better tape. This plastic smell is too strong, and it's not good stuff!"

Feng Baobao shook her head and said, "Better tapes are several times more expensive..."

The young man curled his lips and said, "So what? Can't you just charge the extra money to the victim?"

Oh?
Feng Baobao's eyes lit up, as if she was convinced by the young man's train of thought.

Zhang Chulan's face darkened, and he whispered, "Sister Baoer, where did you catch this thing?"

"I caught it in the cave!"

Feng Baobao pointed at the smiling young man and said, "I originally wanted to catch that black-skinned idiot, but before I could make a move, he discovered me..."

She paused, then tried to justify herself, "He said he knew the information we wanted, and he was very cooperative. When he saw me holding the rope, he took the initiative to put his hands behind his back, showing no sign of resistance at all!"

Everyone: "..."

Wang Zhenqiu's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but ask, "Don't you find it strange that you're so cooperative?"

Zhang Chulan added, "Also, no matter how much he cooperates, for safety's sake, we have to knock him out before bringing him back!"

Feng Baobao spread his hands and said, "I tried, but he has a very hard head and I can't knock him out."

...Can't I knock him out?!
Zhang Chulan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he turned his head abruptly to look at the young man.

The young man smiled slightly, revealing two rows of white teeth. "I can testify that this little girl hit me three times with the shovel. Each hit was just the right amount of force, hitting me squarely on the forehead. She knew how to strike the right balance."

"Nothing, just practice makes perfect!"

Feng Baobao made an OK gesture.

Zhang Chulan quickly stretched out his hand to block Feng Baobao, looked at the young man solemnly and said:
"Brother, let's draw a line. Who are you?!"
