Chapter 6: The Corpse Blood Has a Monkey (2)

A stream of black liquid splashed out from the red monster, drenching Colonel Zhang. Fearing that the liquid might be toxic, Colonel Zhang forcefully shook it off, causing the monster to be thrown back into the blood pool.

"Colonel, there must be a secret behind the corpse and the bloodstains. If we kill him, we will lose the lead to the next clue," Gu Zhen Ting emphasized.

Chen Wenming's artery on his neck was severed, and blood mixed with froth flowed out, indicating that he was in critical condition. No matter how much Colonel Zhang pressed, he could not stop the bleeding. It is a common occurrence for soldiers to be injured in the field, and Colonel Zhang was quite skilled at treating wounds. However, he found himself at a loss with Chen Wenming's injury due to the large area of the wound. This monster truly knows how to exploit a person's weaknesses.

Chen Wenming saw a blood-red monster lunging towards his storefront, and he quickly retreated in fear. However, he was still unable to evade it, and the monster's sharp claws tore into his throat, causing blood to gush forth. Colonel Zhang stood to Chen Wenming's left; when he noticed something unusual in the water, he tightly gripped the military dagger that he always kept at his waist. As the red shadow lunged at him, he swiftly drew the dagger and aimed it at the shadow, but he was still a moment too late. After attacking Chen Wenming, the monster was able to change direction in mid-air and fly towards Gu Zhenting.

Gu Zhen Ting faced the danger without fear, striking heavily with his fist towards the red shadow before him

Chen Wenming forced a powerless smile on his pale face, as if mocking Gu Zhenting for lying without even looking at him. Doctor Xie had mysteriously disappeared two years ago; how could he suddenly appear here? Chen Wenming felt as if his soul was about to leave his body, and his lips moved slightly. Gu Zhenting and Colonel Zhang hurriedly leaned in closer, only to hear Chen Wenming mumble, "Please, please give my body to my family..." Then, he gently let go of Gu Zhenting's hand. Gu Zhenting fought back tears and nodded repeatedly. Gu Zhenting and Colonel Zhang hurriedly leaned in closer, only to hear Chen Wenming mumble, "Please, please give my body to my family..." Then, he gently let go of Gu Zhenting's hand. Gu Zhenting fought back tears and nodded repeatedly

At that moment, a thunderous roar suddenly erupted, shaking the ground for an instant. The crimson blood pool began to churn violently, and a red figure suddenly emerged from the pool, lunging towards Chen Wenming, who was closest to it. This change came so unexpectedly that even the usually quick-reacting A guards were caught off guard.

"Oh, so that's how it is," Liu Wensheng said with a hint of displeasure. "How do you know that the *illustration* is indeed the Corpse Blood Monkey? Wherever there is blood concealed, there must be a Corpse Blood Monkey. Don't you know this? At such a critical juncture, you still refuse to speak the truth; that's rather inconsiderate." It was evident that Liu Wensheng was somewhat irritated.

"In the golden silk net, it is found; in the purple blood, it is concealed. To seek this object, one must look beyond the mountains of Penglai..." Liu Wensheng recited these words, which are neither song nor incantation, his gaze inscrutable and profound.

It was already midnight, and the heavy rain outside showed no signs of letting up; instead, it became even more ferocious. Fortunately, the grave pit was situated on high ground; otherwise, the rainwater would have already flooded in. Chen Wenming's eerie tone sent a chill down everyone's spine. At this late hour, such words could easily jolt one's nerves. All eyes in the room were fixed on Chen Wenming, whose nose was now beginning to bead with fine droplets of sweat.

Major Zhang picked up a lightweight submachine gun delivered by A and was about to go over and open fire

Major Zhang gestured behind him, and the A guards had already brought over the heavy golden net. The four corners of the net were tied with four thick ropes, each about twenty meters long. Many people present were unaware of the scene that was about to unfold.

"What is the Corpse Blood Monkey?" Colonel Zhang could no longer contain his anger and said, "No matter what it is, I must destroy it to avenge Chen Citie!" The mere thought of Chen Wenming made his voice choke. The death of Chen Wenming had touched the fragile heart hidden behind his strong exterior over the years. During the Vietnam War, he was the only one left in his squad. Those painful and bloody experiences left him with too many untold stories, and Chen Citie was one of the few friends he could talk to. Losing Chen Citie clearly showed how deeply Colonel Zhang was hurting.

Just as Gu Zhenting signaled for those around him to step back, Liu Wensheng suddenly tugged at Gu Zhenting's sleeve and said in a strange tone: "Are you looking for the blood hidden within?"

"What is hidden in the blood?" Gu Zhen Ting was left in a fog by Liu Wen Sheng's words. Having spent a lifetime in archaeology, he found that he had never heard this term before, realizing that his own knowledge was indeed too shallow

This series of actions occurred in an instant. Many people did not clearly see the appearance of the red monster. After the monster fell into the blood pool, Major Zhang picked up Chen Wenming, who was lying by the edge of the pool, and ran upward. Gu Zhenting also endured the pain and pulled Liu Wensheng to run up as well. Meanwhile, the A-Wait members, regaining their senses, began to fire their submachine guns into the blood pool. Red blood and black ripples suddenly emerged from the pool.

Colonel Zhang's teeth chattered with a "clack" as he held the gradually cooling body of Chen Wenming. The flames of anger in his heart surged even more fiercely. This monster had not only killed Chen Wenming in an instant but had also injured Gu Zhenting. It would be difficult to quell the hatred in his heart without tearing this creature into a thousand pieces.

Gu Zhen Ting felt a chill in his heart. He quickly exchanged a glance with Colonel Zhang. Apart from Colonel Zhang, Chen Wen Ming, and Gu Zhen Ting, no one present understood the special significance of this glance.

"Wait a moment," Gu Zhen Ting said as he wiped away his tears, "Tell the A guards to cease fire, we need to stay alive, prepare the iron cage, this is a corpse blood ape"

"Doctor, quickly call the doctor over here," Gu Zhenting shouted anxiously at Wu Haode upon seeing Chen Wenming in this state

At this moment, Chen Wenming was still relatively clear-headed. He extended his hand and shook it, indicating that there was no need to waste effort. Gu Zhenting reached out with his uninjured right hand and tightly grasped Chen Wenming's hand, saying, "Magnet, nothing will happen. It won't be long before Doctor Xie arrives here. You know, his medical skills are exceptional!"

However, the pain in his heart quickly spread through his nerves, and Gu Zhen Ting was horrified. His punch seemed to strike against a spiked iron wall, filled with barbs. Nevertheless, the strange figure was knocked back by the force of his blow, then collided with the furious bayonet of Colonel Zhang.

Colonel Zhang developed a fierce temperament during the Vietnam War, and usually, no one dared to provoke him lightly. Now that he has suffered such a significant loss, how can he possibly swallow this anger?

Dr. Xie, known as a highly esteemed physician within the W Bureau, possesses remarkable skills in treating injuries. He also demonstrates exceptional expertise in traditional medicine. Originally referred to as the "Living Hua Tuo," he believes that his medical skills may surpass those of Hua Tuo, thus he has taken it upon himself to be called a divine physician. However, everyone acknowledges his medical prowess, and no one dares to label him as arrogant

"What are you saying?" Gu Zhen Ting looked at Liu Wen Sheng in shock

I do not know what it means to hide blood within. " Gu Zhen Ting sighed. His gaze fell once again on Chen Wen Ming's face, and he could not help but shed another tear, removing his outer garment and covering it over Chen Wen Ming.

Liu Wensheng looked at Chen Wenming's corpse and felt a deep sense of regret in his heart. This young man was not yet thirty years old, and it was truly a pity that he had left this world so soon

I think I know what this pool of blood is; are you looking for something hidden in the blood?" Liu Wensheng asked Gu Zhenting again.
