Chapter 425 People are in panic and the black cloud monster monkey
Soon, lanterns were hung all over the camp.
But even so, the entire camp was still in panic.
People have already learned the news by this time.
Five people disappeared mysteriously one after another, and not even their bodies were found, which frightened many people.
This is not to say that they are timid. In fact, there are basically no people who are afraid of death who can survive until now.
The key is that these seafarers are very superstitious to begin with, especially believing in ghosts and gods.
The two disappearances were so bizarre and the scene so strange that it is difficult not to associate them with ghosts.
Suddenly, rumors spread throughout the camp.
Many people were so frightened that they didn't even dare to go out. Even if they went out, they had to go in groups, with more than a dozen people moving together.
Jing Rou, Kong Xiangdong and others were assigned to different shifts and patrolled day and night.
The entire camp felt like it was facing a powerful enemy, and everyone's nerves were tense.
But even so, the third disappearance came quickly.
Fan Daniu simply sneered at the current atmosphere in the camp, especially those who were as fearful as tigers and dared not even leave the door.
As an old seafarer who has followed Kong Xiangdong for many years, Fan Daniu lives up to his name. He is tall and strong, and can even eat half a sheep in one meal.
Although his family was poor since he was a child and he had no time to practice martial arts, after following Kong Xiangdong and relying on the moves taught by Kong Xiangdong, he actually practiced kung fu to a small level.
Now he was even more powerful, and even ordinary warriors were no match for him.
But it was precisely because of this that Fan Daniu had an arrogant temper. Especially after drinking, he refused to accept anyone except Kong Xiangdong and a few others.
For example, at this moment, Fan Daniu, who was drinking with a few close friends in the tent, put down his wine glass and sneered.
"I heard that Zhai Laoer and the others were so scared that they didn't even dare to go out to pee. They just used a urine bucket to pee in the house in broad daylight?"
"Yes, I personally saw four or five of them going out to empty the bucket of urine together." Someone next to him said.
Fan Daniu sneered, "It's really shameful for a bunch of cowards to be so frightened into being so virtuous."
The drinkers didn't say anything.
They knew that Fan Daniu and Zhai Laoer had always been at odds with each other.
Although they are all sailors, and they all work under Kong Xiangdong.
But when there are too many people, there will inevitably be factionalism.
Take Fan Daniu and Zhai Laoer for example. In fact, they have no deep hatred. Just because they dislike each other, they eventually became two factions.
Now that I heard that Zhai Laoer and the others were so cautious, it was normal for Fan Daniu, who had a wild nature, to mock them.
After a few more glasses of wine, someone asked cautiously: "Brother Niu, aren't you afraid at all?"
"Afraid? Why should I be afraid?" Fan Daniu put the cup in his hand on the table and said with disdain.
"So many years of strong winds and waves have come. Not to mention far away, let's just say that last year I was almost swallowed by the fog at Wuwang Beach. I was not afraid at that time. There were just a few disappearances. What can you do to me?"
"But people say that this time the situation is different. This time it is a ghost causing trouble!" The person who asked the question said in a low voice.
And when the word "monster" was mentioned, the faces of the drinking people showed panic.
Fan Daniu was dismissive, "Bullshit, let's not talk about whether there are monsters or ghosts in this world. Even if there are monsters, I'm not afraid of them. Haven't you heard the saying that ghosts are afraid of evil people?"
Speaking of this, Fan Daniu slammed the table, his big face full of drunken arrogance.
But it was at this moment that the gloom that had permeated the minds of these people was swept away, and even their courage was strengthened.
"Brother Niu is right, even if there are monsters and ghosts, you have to be afraid of a hero like Brother Niu!"
"Yes, come and respect Brother Niu!"
Under the compliments of everyone, Fan Daniu was so satisfied that he drank several large glasses of wine. Then he stood up unsteadily and said, "I'm going to take a pee, and I'll drink with you when I get back!"
Saying that, he started to walk out.
These people were a little anxious upon hearing this.
After all, Kong Xiangdong had strict orders not to do anything alone, but at least three people together.
But they also knew that if they were to directly dissuade him like this, with Fan Daniu's temper and after drinking, he would most likely become impatient.
So these people looked at each other, and then they all stood up and said: "Brother Niu, we happen to be in a hurry to urinate, let's go together!"
"That's right, let's go together!"
Fan Daniu didn't think much and staggered out.
After leaving the tent, the cold wind blowing in the face made me feel nervous.
I don't know when snowflakes started to fall in the sky again, and the wind lanterns hanging all over the camp were blown swaying, looking particularly desolate.
Such a scene, not to mention the previous disappearance case, is enough to make people feel terrified.
At this time, Fan Daniu was a little more awake after being blown by the wind, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
Don't look at how brave you said when you were drinking in the house, but when you really face such a scene, it would be a lie to say that you are not afraid.
But after all the big words came out, especially with the brothers who came with him behind him, he had to pretend to be nonchalant.
Naturally, men are not so particular when it comes to peeing. They just find a corner, and then a few people start to urinate.
Fan Daniu is tall and powerful, and he takes the longest time to escape.
While peeing, he talked to the people behind him.
But suddenly, Fan Daniu felt an indescribable chill.
This chill seemed to come from the bottom of my heart and instantly enveloped my whole body.
Not only that, but there was a dead silence in his ears.
The people who were talking behind him just now, including the banging sounds of the night watchmen in the distance, all disappeared.
Fan Daniu's muscles were stiff all over, and he wanted to raise his head, but he felt as if a thousand kilograms of weight were placed on his neck, and he couldn't move at all.
He wanted to open his mouth to call for help, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he lost control, and at the same time, his eyes became pitch black.
And this kind of darkness is different from the darkness behind closing your eyes, but a kind of ominous silence.
At the same time, Fan Daniu felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, as if sharp claws were clawing at his body.
Immediately afterwards, a force began to lift him upwards, trying to take him off the ground.
Fan Daniu's heart completely sank to the bottom.
He finally understood why the people who had disappeared before disappeared without a trace without even calling for help.
Because at this time, the body is completely out of control.
Not to mention calling for help, even blinking has become a luxury.
But Fan Daniu also understood that as long as he was taken away from the ground, death would surely greet him.
Thinking of this, the ferocious energy in his bones was completely aroused.
Although the body cannot move and the mouth cannot speak, fortunately, the tongue can still move.
He used all his strength and closed his mouth suddenly.
puff!
The tongue was bitten so hard that it almost broke into two parts due to excessive force.
Fan Daniu was shaking all over in pain, and blood spurted out, but the effect was very obvious.
At least for this moment, Fan Daniu regained control of his body.
And the first thing he did was look up.
Then the scene that came into view made Fan Daniu, who always prided himself on being bold, couldn't help but shrink his pupils.
I saw a mass of something darker than black floating in mid-air.
At first glance it looks like a mist or black cloud.
But when he took a closer look, he saw that there seemed to be two huge wings flapping silently in the darkness.
At the same time, under this "black cloud", the people who had been drinking just now were all hanging silently in the air, their bodies stiff and their eyes looking frightened.
This is an extremely weird and terrifying scene.
Because the way these people were hanging in the air looked like hanged ghosts.
At the same time, this black cloud-like guy is just like the legendary demon, exuding a terrifying aura everywhere.
If it were placed on other people, it would be frightened to death.
Fan Daniu was also a little nervous, but fortunately, his childhood experiences and the years of training in Wuwanghai had created his tough character.
So after just a moment of panic, he regained his composure.
Then he realized something was wrong.
Because of such a big movement, it stands to reason that the people patrolling nearby should have noticed it long ago.
But at this time Fan Daniu still couldn't hear any sounds from the outside world.
He knew that although he had regained control of his body, he should still be under the control of this thing.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt cruel.
Oh shit.
Even if it is a monster, today grandpa I will tear it apart to see what it is made of.
Hun's generous personality completely exploded.
Then Fan Daniu raised his fist and turned a cannon into the sky, hitting the "black cloud" in mid-air.
But as soon as Keren jumped into the air, he saw that this "black cloud" seemed to be aware of it, and he lowered his head and looked at Fan Daniu.
Only then did Fan Daniu see the true face of this thing clearly.
This is a face that could give you nightmares.
Wrinkled and covered with black hair, it looked like an aging monkey.
And its eyes were full of cold evil.
When he came into contact with this look, Fan Daniu couldn't help but feel furious in his heart, and even his fists became weak by three points.
But what this "monkey" never expected was that after a moment of hesitation, Fan Daniu not only did not show weakness, but infinite rage emerged from his heart.
Damn it, such a famous hero like me was fooled by a monkey.
It's really unbearable.
With this idea in mind, Fan Daniu roared angrily and blasted away with all his strength.
In fact, Fan Daniu's strength is not that strong. At most, he is only in the top three realms.
It's just that his physical strength is not compromised, and with the blessing of this natural divine power, he is strong enough to fight with warriors who are a level stronger than himself.
At this moment, due to the dual blessing of anger and fear, Fan Daniu's strength was 30% greater than usual.
Due to the combination of these reasons, Fan Daniu's punch hit this "monkey" firmly.
boom!
After a muffled sound, Fan Daniu fell to the ground.
And the monkey screamed in agony.
In an instant, these people who were originally hanging in the air fell to the ground.
Then the "monkey" suddenly flashed its wings and disappeared into the darkness at an extremely fast speed.
The moment it disappeared, sounds from the outside world flooded into Fan Daniu's ears.
The sound of patrolling soldiers banging their bangs in the distance, the cold wind blowing the swaying of lanterns...
The combination of these sounds made Fan Daniu feel relieved.
He wanted to stand up and shout, but then he realized that he had lost all strength at some point.
The fist that hit the "monkey" was even more numb, with no feeling at all.
Fan Daniu knew that this was because he was too excited and punched too hard.
Fortunately, there was no need for him to shout. Soon the night watchman noticed something strange here and rushed over quickly.
The person in charge of this area today is none other than Kong Xiangdong.
After he heard the strange noise, he immediately led the team over without hesitation.
What he saw next made him stunned.
I saw several people lying on the snow, most of them soundless, as if they were dead.
Only Fan Daniu was half paralyzed on the ground, breathing heavily.
"Daniu, what's going on?" Kong Xiangdong first asked his men to seal off the surrounding area, then squatted down and asked in a deep voice.
At this time, Fan Daniu finally relieved his breath, and then said with a wry smile: "Sir, we almost lost sight of you just now."
Then he told everything exactly what he had just encountered.
After listening to this, even Kong Xiangdong, who was as calm as Kong Xiangdong, couldn't help but change his face.
Because what Fan Daniu told was too bizarre.
A monkey that can fly, huge wings in the dark, a way to silently control people...
Taken together, these are just like babbles in a dream.
But Kong Xiangdong also understood that although Fan Daniu was a bit arrogant on weekdays, he was very down-to-earth, and he would never dare to lie, especially about this kind of thing.
In addition, various signs on the field also indirectly supported Fan Daniu's statement.
While Kong Xiangdong was deep in thought, others had revived all the people lying on the ground.
But even if these people are not dead, they can't even say a word except blinking and breathing for a short period of time.
At this moment, Jing Rou, Huang Liang, Liang Xin'an and others also came after hearing the news.
When they heard what happened, these people couldn't help but change their colors.
"Can you tell me the scene you saw in detail?" After returning to the tent, Liang Xin'an asked again in a deep voice.
Fan Daniu was convinced that he was incompetent and spoke in detail again.
Only this time, Liang Xin'an was listening to his story while writing and drawing on the paper. From time to time, she would interrupt Fan Daniu to ask more detailed questions.
Finally, after waiting for a long time, Fan Daniu told the whole story in great detail.
Then Liang Xin'an raised the painting in his hand.
"Is this what you saw?"
It turns out that he was describing it through Fan Daniu's narration.
There were two black cloud-like wings drawn on the paper, and in the middle of the wings was a wrinkled monkey.
Fan Daniu nodded crazily when he saw it, "Yes, that's it, the painting is just the same."
At this time, everyone gathered around to watch.
There was a long silence, and then Jing Rou spoke first: "Isn't this just a fucking bat?"
