Chapter 79 To Be A Perfect Gentleman (1/2)

Long Xi pointed towards a spot in the distance and said to Mo Kun, ”Brother Kun, someone there is trying to be like Logger Vick. They are secretly cutting down trees and building log cabins in the primeval forest.”

Mo Kun pondered for a moment and said firmly, ”There must be a reason why White Ape appeared so suddenly and all the cattle have been poisoned.”

Long Xi nodded and said, ”Yes, maybe it's the people living in the log cabins. Are they grave robbers or gold miners? In order to prevent the villagers from going up to the mountain, they deliberately created some rumors there. But I've never heard of an ancient tomb or a gold mine, or even a diamond mine, on this mountain.”

Mo Kun rubbed his temples and said, ”Let's go to the hot spring instead of worrying about these strange things!”

Long Xi said, ”Yes. As long as they do not endanger the safety of villagers, we should leave them alone. When I get home, I'll report them to the Forestry Bureau!”

As they spoke, they flew to the top of the mountain and landed next to a large rock that had a crack on it.

Long Xi pointed to the huge stone and said with a smile, ”My grandmother told me a story about this rock before. She said that Sun Wukong jumped out of this huge stone, and there is a cave nearby that is very similar to Water Curtain Cave. This is the legendary Huaguo Mountain.”

Xiaolu said, ”I'm afraid it's just an old wives' tale. Didn't you know that there were people in several places who claimed that their hometown was Ximen Qing's hometown? And I remember that the Huaguo Mountain recorded in Journey to the West is a mountain near the sea. Where is the sea?”

Long Xi said, ”Haha, it's just a bedtime story. I didn't say it's true. Grandma said that the cave where the hot spring is located is near the huge stone, so let's look for it.”

They looked around and found the entrance to the cave.

The entrance was so narrow that adults were only able to enter one at a time and the stone walls on both sides were very steep. It was so dark inside that you couldn't see anything.

Xiaolu said to Mo Kun, ”I will lead the way, and you bring up the rear. We will protect Long Xi on both ends.”

Mo Kun took a golden cutlass that was sheathed, from his backpack and handed it to Xiaolu, saying, ”Use this as a weapon for your protection!”

When Xiaolu pulled the cutlass out of its sheath, he saw that it glittered coldly and was very sharp. He could not help praising it, ”Great knife!”

Long Xi smiled and said, ”It's a precious knife that can cut through iron as if it was like mud!”

Mo Kun said proudly, ”I used metal made with the most advanced alchemy, and the most advanced casting techniques to cast the precious knife. It is not only sharp, but also very solid. It is very difficult for general knives to bend it, let alone cut it off.”

Long Xi asked with a smile, ”Does this knife have a name?”

Mo Kun said, ”Not yet. Would you like to give it a name?”

Long Xi smiled and said, ”This knife is shaped like the crescent moon, and its light is like the cold stars. Let's call it the Xingyue Knife”

Mo Kun laughed and said, ”Good name, so it will be known as that.”

Suddenly, there was a roar that came from deep within the cave. It sounded like the angry cry of some sort of wild animal when its territory was violated, not like the roar of human beings.

Long Xi had never heard such a terrible sound before. When the pitch was high, it was louder than thunder, and could really burst one's eardrums. When it was low, people's ears were repeatedly assaulted by the grating sound it made. It was like a small blunt knife that was being sawn back and forth.

Surprised, she said, ”Is that the White Ape?”

Mo Kun took out a pocket pistol from his backpack, the same one he used to shoot Brother Fenggou in the eye, and said, ”Do not be afraid, we still have this Gauss Rifle.”

He extended the pistol and transformed it into a rifle, almost like magic.

Xiaolu liked to read magazines about weapons and knew what a Gauss Rifle was. He said, ”Isn't this kind of Gauss Rifle still in the experimental stage? Have you already tested it out successfully?”

Lord Mo Kun smiled and said, ”Of course, who do you think I am? This gun has a large recoil force and a huge projectile power. It easily broke through any steel plates during the experimental stage. Its energy comes from the pulse current and the electromagnetic coil of its internal battery. When strong current flows through the coil instantaneously, the magnetic force produced will force the ferromagnetic bullet out.”

Xiaolu made a ”666” gesture and said, ”So what are we waiting for? Let's go!”

Long Xi took off her glasses and asked Xiaolu to put them on.

Holding the Xingyue Knife, he took the lead and walked slowly into the cave.

Wearing the night-vision glasses, Xiaolu could see moss growing on the stone walls on both sides, making them slippery and wet.

Long Xi held a flashlight and followed closely behind, while Mo Kun, holding the rifle, was at the rear.

Suddenly, a white-haired monster, as tall as Xiaolu, flew out of the cave and swiped its huge claws toward Xiaolu's face.

Xiaolu used the Xingyue Knife to block it, but it managed to dodge it. The precious knife cut off a tuft of white hair from the paw.

Xiaolu saw that the monster was a white ape, several times bigger than an ordinary ape. The white fur on the ape's huge head stood up like steel needles, and its eyes were as big as copper bells. They glowed like light bulbs, giving off a faint green light. The face of the ape resembled King Kong in the movie.

He swung his knife at the white ape, using a practiced set of movements.

He had been fond of sports since his childhood. He learned from famous teachers and studied martial arts as a form of self-defense.
