Chapter 131 The Ghost-Faced Ape
Cheng Feng's words reignited the vigilance that the Xieling disciples had just lowered.
They stared coldly at the three women of the Huo family.
However, the women of the Huo family were determined and were not affected.
His gaze towards Hei Xiazi softened.
"Son-in-law, you've really put me through a lot."
Black Bear followed behind Cheng Feng with a wry smile. The women of the Huo family were always difficult to deal with.
These three, in particular, seemed to genuinely consider him their savior.
"You just don't appreciate kindness. How am I harming you? I'm clearly helping you."
These three girls are all pretty and have great figures. If you like them, I can continue to play the virtuous woman.
He might even be able to enjoy the blessings of having two wives.
Black Bear said disdainfully:
“I’m not like you, dragging the eldest daughter of the Chen family down with one hand and flirting with Huo Xiangu’s daughter with the other.”
Cheng Feng glanced at Hei Xiazi and said through gritted teeth:
“I’m keeping these three girls safe. I’ll bring them back to Golmud and keep them by your side.”
Hei Xiazi was stunned upon hearing this, thinking about how he would be followed by three younger members of the Huo family wherever he went in the future.
I felt terrible and immediately had the urge to run away.
Thinking about it carefully, my former employer treated me quite well. Should I go back to my old job?
At this moment, Cheng Feng stopped in front of an altar made of various animal bones.
The altar made of animal bones stood opposite the coffin, both covered in dust.
After observing it carefully, Cheng Feng reached out and tapped on one of the ape skulls.
“Young master, how about we compromise? I’ll continue to pretend to be blind, and you can let me off the hook.”
Black Bear thought to himself that he was sent by his former employer, and he might have trouble explaining himself when he returned.
After thinking it over, I decided to talk to my new employer.
Cheng Feng ignored the guy and pressed the ape skull down with his hand.
With a click, the mechanism was activated.
A secret passage opened up in the ground behind the altar, leading to the area beneath the sacred tree.
"Xiao Hei, do you think I'm afraid of exposing my relationship with Wen Jin? That's not enough of a bargaining chip."
As he spoke, Cheng Feng patted Hei Xiazi on the shoulder and then walked towards the opened hidden door.
Black Bear grinned, finding things getting more and more interesting.
Having lived for so long, how could he be so easily flustered by a few words? The two of them were just having fun.
“Son-in-law, I think ‘Blind Man’ sounds better. ‘Little Black’ is a bit too similar to the name of Wu Sansheng’s dog.”
Catching up with Cheng Feng, the two walked side by side into the secret passage.
Upon seeing this, the three Huo family women quickly followed. They were very perceptive; if they didn't leave soon, the five burly men would chase them away.
Cheng Feng and Hei Xiazi followed the steps to a tomb passage.
It was only from this point that it truly began to resemble a mausoleum.
"No wonder you didn't take the box on top; it seems that coffin was just a smokescreen."
Upon reaching this point, Hei Xiazi realized that what was above was not the main tomb at all.
So there's probably nothing good in the box, it might even be a trap.
"There were footsteps."
As soon as Hei Xiazi finished speaking, Cheng Feng called a halt to the group in a deep voice.
After a dozen seconds of silence in the tomb passage, everyone faintly heard other sounds approaching.
"Young master has good hearing."
Black Bear exclaimed in admiration, while placing his hand on the short blade at his waist.
Cheng Feng stared intently ahead, and the moment the person whose footsteps appeared, he abruptly raised his pistol.
Two shots hit a ghost face mask.
However, the mask was extremely hard, and the brief sparks from the bullets did not cause it any damage.
The crowd, having recovered from their shock, were able to see the newcomer's appearance clearly.
This is a robust ape whose face is completely covered by a bronze mask.
Only a pair of dark eyes were exposed.
Without Cheng Feng giving any instructions, the members of the Unloading Ridge gang opened fire as they faced the large number of ape-men rushing out of the tomb passage.
The bullets struck the apes in front, and the impact caused their charge to stop for a moment.
But they soon discovered that the bullets seemed to have no effect on them, even though they were already riddled with bullet holes.
The ape rose from the ground again and charged towards the group once more.
"Xiao Hei, it's up to you!"
Hei Xiazi gave Cheng Feng the middle finger, then pulled out his black and gold short blade.
With a powerful kick, he sent the ape in front of him flying backward, knocking several others behind him to the ground as well.
Then, with a showy flourish, he plunged the knife into the heart of an ape.
The ape, which had withstood a bullet weighing dozens of kilograms, collapsed to the ground after the knife pierced its body.
“Son-in-law, do you know anyone among these monkeys? Why don’t you talk to them and try to make peace?”
After killing another ape, Hei Xiazi took a moment to tease Cheng Feng.
"Damn it, can you be serious for once?"
While Hei Xiazi was distracted by talking, a masked ape rushed past him.
Cheng Feng kicked the ape's knee, shattering it, and drew his Fish Intestine Sword just before it fell.
The blood-red blade sliced across the ape's neck.
With a thud, the ape lay on its back on the ground, its head rolling right to Cheng Feng's feet.
After doing all this, Cheng Feng calmly bent down and grabbed the ghost face mask on the monkey's head.
It was taken off without much effort.
Behind the mask, two rows of insect claws struggled incessantly, as if they had encountered something terrifying.
But soon it stopped moving, as if it had been scared to death.
"More insects. I've noticed that if a tomb doesn't have any insects, it's probably embarrassing to call itself a royal or noble family."
Black Bear was in a flustered state; these apes were strong and powerful, and also very agile.
The tomb passage further restricted his movement.
Unable to dodge in time, Black Bear was punched.
He stepped back to Cheng Feng's side, placed his hand on Cheng Feng's shoulder, and said, slightly out of breath:
"Brother, stop messing with the bugs, okay? These animals are too tough to handle."
"That's it?"
With a mocking laugh, Cheng Feng immediately charged into the monkey troop, his Fish Intestine Sword transforming into streaks of blood as it pierced the necks of the apes.
Just a few seconds later, the heads of the seven or eight apes that were charging ahead rolled to the ground.
Just as Cheng Feng was about to continue chopping vegetables, all the apes behind him turned around and ran away.
They disappeared into the depths of the tomb passage in just a few seconds.
"I've figured it out, these monkeys are a bunch of bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong!"
Hei Xiazi put away his black gold dagger and returned to his usual lazy demeanor.
Cheng Feng kicked a monkey brain so hard it burst, and as the mask rolled away, it revealed another insect on its side.
"It's not monkeys that bully the weak and fear the strong, but these worms."
"It looks familiar. I feel like I've seen it somewhere before."
Hei Xiazi carefully examined the insect behind the bronze mask, then looked up and said:
"I remember now, this thing is a Chi Gu, a type of Gu worm that controls its host by parasitizing it."
Upon hearing this, the members of the Unloading Ridge Clan were relieved. Insects? These things are the least prestigious things these days.
Once parchment was produced, all insects had to obediently get lost.
Thinking of this, the members of the Unloading Ridge tacitly took out the parchment from their pockets, feeling more at ease holding it in their hands.
"Let's go see what good things are in the main tomb guarded by these insects."
