Tomb raiding: The awesome life that started from Ganggangyingzi

Ji Haobo stood up with a furrowed brow, looking in the direction he sensed the gaze. His pupils contracted immediately, and his expression became extremely solemn.

"Brother Bo, what did you see?"

The change in his face, and the blue light emanating from his eyes, greatly surprised Lao Hu.

But now is not the time to ask about his eyes; he wanted to know what was in the darkness that made his expression so solemn.

"A mandrill! The kind of mandrill from legends!"

That's right, the thing in the darkness was a mandrill, with black fur, over two meters tall, and one leg standing upright, but backwards.

Besides the patterns on its face, it looks somewhat like a human. It has long arms with three fingers and sharp claws at the front.

This thing is very imposing overall, with scarlet eyes full of excitement and savagery.

Ji Haobo wanted to curse under his breath: "Damn it! Who said mandrills are big monkeys from Africa?"

This is clearly the same as what is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and the legendary wild man is probably just this guy making a cameo appearance.

Just then, something happened that drastically changed Ji Haobo's expression: another mandrill appeared from the direction of the mandrill.

"Oh no, there are two of them! Quickly, make the fire bigger, and don't leave the campfire!"

Before Lao Hu and his companions could recover from their shock, they heard that there were two of these strange things.

He was so horrified that he almost bit his tongue. Without asking any questions, he hurriedly added firewood to the fire.

As they moved, perhaps angering the mandrill, the group heard a chilling laugh coming from the darkness.

"Hehehehe...hehehehe..."

The sound was a strange mix of crying and laughing, very clear in the darkness, and chilling to the bone.

"Damn it, we haven't even entered the tomb yet, and we've already run into these demons and monsters on the way."

"We're not Tang Sanzang on his journey to the West to retrieve Buddhist scriptures, do we really need these waves of tests?"

Fatty Wang added firewood to the campfire while trembling, muttering complaints under his breath.

"That's enough! If you throw any more firewood in, the fire will go out!"

Old Hu, who was standing nearby, saw him throwing firewood in and quickly stopped him, saying that most of the firewood came from living trees and was very moist.

“Hehehe…”

At this point, the laughter grew increasingly manic and sent shivers down one's spine.

"Be careful, those two beasts are getting agitated and are about to attack. I'm going to go and deal with them."

Ji Haobo gave them a word of advice, then slowly walked towards them, carrying his spiked club.

The two mandrills were enraged at the sight, feeling they had been provoked.

You should know that no matter what kind of prey it is, even if it's a jackal, a tiger, or a leopard, they can only run away when they see them, and no one dares to come face to face with them.

Feeling offended, the mandrill immediately hopped on its one leg, ready to crush its prey.

Although they only have one leg, they are not slow. A single leap can cover more than three meters, and they land with a dull thud.

"Knock knock...knock"

Just as Ji Haobo was about to make a move, unexpectedly, a burst of black energy suddenly erupted from the mountain demon's burly body.

In the hazy light, an invisible wave spread across the patterned face.

Ji Haobo felt a sudden heaviness in his mind, and a cluster of illusions appeared. Fortunately, he recovered in just a breath, but then he heard a gasp from behind him.

"Brother Hu, Brother Pang, what's wrong with you guys?"

Hearing Yingzi's shout, Ji Haobo turned around and was immediately startled.

However, Lao Hu and his companion, with vacant eyes and blank expressions, prepared to walk towards the mountain demon, looking as if they were sleepwalking.

"They've been misled! Slap them! Slap them hard!"

Although Ji Haobo was anxious, he had no time to worry about it, because the mandrill was getting closer;

So he uttered a single sentence, then with a jerk of his shoulder, he used his body to swing the spiked club, sending it hurtling down with a whoosh.

Seeing the spiked club hurtling towards them, the two mandrills didn't dodge; instead, they brandished their claws and charged forward.

“Bang bang…”

Ji Haobo felt a powerful force coming from the spiked club, which made his hands go numb.

The two mandrills weren't having an easy time either, as their strength was indeed remarkable;

But a spiked club weighing dozens of kilograms, combined with Ji Haobo's full strength, is absolutely terrifying.

So when this power erupted, the first thing the mandrill touched was the spiked club;

In an instant, two claws on one of the arms broke off, and the person became unsteady, staggering back more than ten meters.

The other one fared much better. After being worn down by its companion, it withstood the force of the spiked club and, apart from taking a step back, did not suffer any major damage.

Before the mandrill could even roar in anger, Ji Haobo spun around, sending his spiked club tracing an arc.

"boom…"

"what…"

The mandrill blocked the blow with its arm as the spiked club came crashing down.

But the force of the impact struck his chest, sending his burly body flying more than three meters before crashing heavily to the ground.

However, Ji Haobo didn't have time to press his advantage, because another one had already pounced on him in a frenzy.

Moreover, his entire body was shrouded in black mist, and the black mist on his two sharp claws rose up like flames.

Ji Haobo didn't know what kind of ability this was, but seeing the fallen leaves on the ground turn to ashes wherever it went, it was clear that it was extraordinary.

He was now glad he had brought his spiked club; every inch longer, the stronger it was. Otherwise, it would have been dangerous to fight him in close combat with a long sword.

He unleashed his full physical strength, using the momentum to propel the spiked club towards the charging mandrill.

With immense force, the spiked club sliced ​​through the air with a piercing whistling sound, colliding with the claws that were wielding black energy.

"Boom"

"what…"

A dull thud and a sharp scream rang out at the same time. The mandrill flew five or six meters and lay on the ground, unable to get up for a while.

Ji Haobo was once again shaken by the immense force, causing not only his arm to go numb, but also his tiger's mouth to split open and bleed.

At the same time, the spiked club was also deformed, with the outer layer of the lower half of the front end bursting open to reveal the wood inside;

The long pole also developed cracks, but fortunately, it was supported by an iron rod about the size of a finger in the center, which prevented it from breaking in two.

Seeing that the thing was about to be destroyed, Ji Haobo unleashed its last attack, smashing it at another mountain demon that had stood up and was equally ferocious.

"boom…"

The spiked club was shattered at the front and the shaft was bent beyond recognition, while the mandrill only took a step back.

"Jie Jie Jie..."

It's unclear whether it was the mountain demon, but upon seeing the broken spiked club in his hand, it suddenly let out a strange cry, as if mocking him.

Seeing this, Ji Haobo sneered inwardly. This beast is really arrogant. Does he think that without the spiked club, he can't be dealt with?

Just as the creature was making a strange noise, a beam of white light shone on its face.

"what…"

The bright light caused it to go from ecstatic to devastatingly blind, and it frantically staggered and jumped around aimlessly.

Ji Haobo mentally gave Lao Hu a thumbs up, and took advantage of the moment when the other mandrill was swaying and preparing to get up;

A long sword appeared in his hand, and with a push of his feet, he slid past the wildly jumping mandrill.
