237: Chapter 237 Treasure Land 7
Hearing the strange cries of these creatures in such a primeval forest was clearly not a good omen.
The expressions of the few players changed repeatedly, and as they looked at each other, the Girl in Pajamas asked with a pale face and great nervousness, "What is that sound? It wouldn't be some dangerous beast, would it?"
"What kind of safe creature could manage to survive in a population in a forest like this?" the Mean-looking Man frowned. "We definitely can't stay in this place for long. We'd better move forward as quickly as possible and leave this area."
"It's too late!" The Doctor with a low ponytail's expression changed instantly, becoming extremely serious. Because she had already identified what those creatures in the trees were, she said, "It must be some kind of baboon. We've likely intruded into their territory. Run!"
As she spoke, she did not run forward as the Mean-looking Man had suggested, but immediately began to head back the way they came.
Because they had been walking forward, they had stepped into that troop of baboons' territory. If they continued forward, the baboons would only perceive them as wanting to invade their territory, thereby triggering a violent attack.
Baboons are gregarious animals, usually living in groups of several hundred, ruled by a single alpha.
Upon encountering intruders, led by the alpha, all the male baboons would launch a fierce attack until the intruders were driven away or torn to pieces.
This was simply not something their group of players could withstand.
Only by running backward, leaving the baboons' territory, and making them feel that they were no longer a threat, could they escape this disaster.
After hearing the words of the Doctor with a low ponytail, the other players dared not hesitate at all and immediately followed her pace, fleeing back the way they came.
Luo Yuejian did not deliberately stall for time either; the system was watching, and there was no need to court death.
The muddy path below in the forest, along with the puddles that one would step into from time to time, became a major obstacle hindering the players' escape at this moment.
Fortunately, under the guidance of the Doctor with a low ponytail, they were returning the way they came, so they saved a lot of effort in cutting through vines.
However, even so, the cries behind them were becoming increasingly dense and closer; clearly, the troop of baboons had set out, ready to drive away the intruders.
The players were all inwardly complaining bitterly; they were already running away, so why were these guys still chasing them!
For humans to outrun baboons in the forest was simply a pipe dream.
When they heard those terrifying, strange roars echoing overhead, all the players couldn't help but look up.
When they saw those huge creatures in the trees nearby, the man with a mole on his face couldn't help but curse, "Holy crap, what the hell is that?"
They saw those giant baboons crouching in the trees, standing a full meter long, with extremely strange appearances. Their eye sockets were protruding, there were blue and white longitudinal stripes on both sides of their nose bridges, their outer skin was green, and their spine was bright red. Their fur was wild, making them look like ghosts.
If it weren't daytime, they would have definitely thought they had seen a ghost.
"It's a mandrill. The population must be at least six hundred, and could easily exceed a thousand!" The Doctor with a low ponytail whispered, while her pace involuntarily accelerated a bit more; the reputation of the mandrill was truly fearsome.
Hearing the name "mandrill," the expression of the Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket changed instantly, and he panted, "I, I think I've heard this name. My grandmother told me about it when I was little; she had encountered a mandrill, and it was terrifying. She even said she'd rather meet a jackal than run into a mandrill."
His tone trembled, "Why are we so unlucky!"
"That's fake, it's a legend. Mandrills are from Africa; your grandmother couldn't have encountered one," Luo Yuejian said quickly.
Just seeing that strange-looking creature, Luo Yuejian remembered hearing about this creature from somewhere before; it is the world's largest primate. Its temperament is indeed quite fierce, and if they were really caught, these players would definitely be dead.
Luo Yuejian was actually looking forward to them being caught, but reason told her that since the game had just started, it was quite difficult to die.
However, Luo Yuejian was unwilling to give up without trying. She had to think of a reason to stop.
Before Luo Yuejian could think of a reason, the Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket suddenly let out a scream. It gave her a start.
She turned her head to look and realized that the group of mandrills above had actually thrown palm-sized stones, directly hitting the Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket on the head.
The blow was heavy and powerful, directly drawing blood from the head of the Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket. When he wiped his head and saw the blood, the expression on his face was extremely panicked.
He immediately ignored everything else and began to sprint forward frantically.
And this blow was just the beginning. Immediately after, all the mandrills that caught up began to throw things in their direction. This included, but was not limited to, stones, large fruits, tree bark, and so on. If you got hit, the best case was a bruise; the worst case was the same fate as that Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket.
"Those damn monkeys!" The man with a mole on his face cursed loudly. He had also just been hit in the head by something, he didn't know what; luckily, he wasn't bleeding, but the pain was unavoidable. He directly took his remaining backpack and held it over his head, attempting to avoid some of the damage.
Seeing this, the other players also immediately took their backpacks to cover their heads. After all, the most important part of the body is the head; if other parts get hit a couple of times, so be it.
Almost all players had been hit many times. On this point, the Doctor with a low ponytail and the Plump Boss did not take out any items at this time, so like the New players, they also suffered indiscriminate attacks.
The only exception, of course, was Luo Yuejian.
Possessing Agility Instinct, she dodged completely without needing to see. Luo Yuejian had long been accustomed to the emotional trauma this passive skill brought her; at this moment, her heart was very numb, without any fluctuations, and she even felt like laughing a little.
Meanwhile, the audience in the main livestream room of this Miracle Escape Live Stream Game was boiling over.
[Holy crap, is this person cheating? Do they have eyes in the back of their head?]
[666666, too amazing. If I'm not mistaken, has this White-haired Girl not been hit even once?]
[More than that, look at her, she's not even blushing or out of breath. You can tell at a glance that she's dodging very easily; she's completely on a different level from the other players.]
[As expected of a player who has cleared seven games; she really does look awesome.]
[Child's play, just a piece of cake. Honestly, for my Yue, this is quite easy.]
[Sigh, as a fan of Goddess Yue, I just want to say, so easy~]
[Alright, those above, wait a moment before showing off; let the streamer finish showing off this time.]
