Chapter 284: Cheeky Monkeys
After Taotie’s tireless efforts, he and Tom finally met. Seeing Taotie, Tom felt like he had seen a relative, and his eyes instantly welled up with tears.
“Wuwu~”
“A relative~”
Tom’s heart was instantly filled with tears.
“Tom, did you miss me?”
Taotie looked up at Tom and grinned mischievously.
Tom looked down at Taotie and nodded repeatedly.
“Yes!”
“I missed you so much!”
“I missed you so much that I couldn’t even remember!”
Tom said with a smile.
Hearing Tom’s words, Taotie’s mischievous laughter came to an abrupt halt.
“There’s no point in talking anymore.”
“Tom has talked it to death!”
Taotie muttered and began to pull out the long spears under Tom’s feet, so that Tom had a place to land. Tom had been hanging in the air for almost an hour.
If he hung any longer, he would almost be dried into jerky.
Hearing Taotie’s muttering, Tom rolled his eyes: “Who’s talking to you? Look at me hanging in the air, is this a place for chatting?”
Taotie smiled indifferently and pulled out the last long spear that was pointing straight at Tom’s backside. He laughed, “Alright, come down quickly.”
Tom looked down, made sure there were no long spears under his feet, breathed a sigh of relief, pressed the buckle of his tactical belt, released the grappling hook rope, and began to descend rapidly.
After landing safely, Tom let out a breath.
He released the grappling hook and retrieved it.
He casually stuffed the grappling hook into the tactical pocket on his body, punched Taotie’s shoulder with his fist, and smiled, “Thanks, brother!”
Taotie rolled his eyes at Tom and turned to leave.
He looked very proud.
Tom smiled slightly and didn’t care.
He casually picked up a long spear from the ground.
He followed Taotie and walked towards the opposite bank along the path Taotie had cleared.
Although these long spears were a bit long, they were in an ancient tomb, and there was no sense of security without a long weapon in hand.
Having been in the underworld for a long time, Tom knew a truth: guns had deterrent power, but they were only good for shooting people. Against some strange animals, guns were not necessarily as good as cold weapons.
The distance of less than ten meters was no different from nothing to Taotie and Tom.
When they reached the edge of the pit, Taotie grabbed the grappling hook rope, used his arms to exert force, and quickly climbed up.
Taotie’s speed was extremely fast. He quickly climbed out of the pit, swung hard, and jumped onto the tomb passage.
“Do you want me to pull you up?”
Taotie held the rope in his hand and smiled playfully.
Tom rolled his eyes at Taotie: “Get lost!”
“Hahaha~”
Taotie laughed when Tom scolded him.
He threw the grappling hook rope down.
Tom caught the rope and climbed out of the pit in the same way as Taotie.
“Here!”
After landing safely, Tom handed the rope to Taotie.
“I have a set of grappling hooks here. Put this set in your backpack.”
Tom said to Taotie in a low voice.
Taotie shrugged and put away the grappling hook.
“Let’s go, the princess is worried to death.”
Taotie put the grappling hook into his backpack and turned to Tom.
Hearing Taotie’s words, Tom felt warm inside.
He nodded: “Okay!”
Taotie and Tom walked together.
They walked towards Fang Xiaocao and Hummingbird.
Taotie and Tom had only taken two steps.
Suddenly!
There was a “bang” gunshot from the front.
Taotie and Tom were stunned and looked at each other.
Then, their expressions changed.
They both showed solemn expressions.
“Not good!”
“Something happened to the princess and them!”
Tom exclaimed and ran away.
He wanted to quickly support Fang Xiaocao and them.
Tom only ran two steps before he was grabbed by Taotie.
“Don’t run around!”
“Follow me!”
“If you step on a trap again at this time, I don’t have time to save you.”
Taotie said to the puzzled Tom.
Taotie grabbed Tom behind him.
He followed the marks he left when he came and rushed towards Fang Xiaocao.
Tom was stunned, then reacted.
He quickly followed Taotie’s footsteps.
The distance of more than ten meters was fleeting.
Soon, Taotie and Tom saw a shocking scene. Fang Xiaocao and Hummingbird were surrounded by a group of strange reptiles.
The gunshot just now was fired by Hummingbird.
Perhaps Hummingbird’s shot had a deterrent effect, and the strange animals didn’t attack Fang Xiaocao and Hummingbird, but chose to surround them.
The animals surrounding Fang Xiaocao and Hummingbird were very strange, like monkeys with skin diseases and bald hair, covered with red spots of all sizes, looking both strange and disgusting.
Tom and Taotie looked at each other, their eyes full of suspicion and incomprehension.
“Tom, do you recognize these things?”
Taotie tightened the long spear in his hand and asked in a deep voice.
Tom frowned and shook his head.
“I don’t recognize them either!”
“But they look like monkeys or something.”
Tom hesitated and said.
“But…”
Tom hesitated and said, “They look like the animals contaminated by experimental chemical waste that I saw in an abandoned laboratory in Africa a few years ago when I was on a mission.”
Taotie raised his eyebrows, his expression a little surprised.
“Do you mean that someone did some experiments on these monkeys here?”
Taotie asked in surprise.
Tom nodded: “I’m not sure!”
“But it’s very possible!”
“Normal monkeys don’t look like this.”
“And it’s impossible for a whole group to be sick.”
Tom’s voice was very low.
Taotie shook his head: “Never mind!”
“Let’s kill these monkeys first and rescue the princess and them.”
“After rescuing the princess and Hummingbird, we’ll ask where these monkeys came from and we’ll know if there’s a laboratory.”
Hearing Taotie’s words, Tom nodded.
Tom thought Taotie made a lot of sense.
If these monkeys were experimental subjects, they would most likely use the laboratory as a nest.
Go over and take a look, and the truth will be clear.
“Action!”
Tom said in a deep voice.
“Kill!”
Taotie roared, carrying a long spear, and rushed out in a stride, straight for the cheeky monkeys.
The long spear in Taotie’s hand thrust out fiercely.
One spear pierced a cheeky monkey.
Taotie suddenly rushed out and stabbed a monkey to death. The monkeys were in chaos, squeaking and rushing towards Taotie.
Faced with so many cheeky monkeys, Taotie didn’t take it seriously. He waved the long spear in his hand and knocked away the cheeky monkeys that rushed up.
Seeing Taotie, who was killing in all directions, surrounded by a group of disgusting monkeys, Fang Xiaocao, who was frightened, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Saved…”
Fang Xiaocao patted her chest and muttered to herself.
When she saw Tom, who was killing behind Taotie, she was even more pleasantly surprised and almost screamed.
