Chapter 834 - 828: Do You Dare to Step Up?
During the conversation, Jin Zijin had already bent down to examine the bodies of the monkeys.
A local sailor spoke up, "When I first joined the navy, I came to this island once. Out of curiosity, I and a few comrades planned to climb the mountain, but we encountered these monkeys halfway up.
A few of my comrades were knocked off the cliff by the monkeys and fell to their deaths, and several others were injured by the monkeys. Those wounds wouldn’t heal and they froze to death. I was lucky to escape."
"Froze to death?" Xiao Jinyan grasped this key point, "How did they freeze to death?"
The sailor explained, "Indeed, they froze to death. These monkeys have poison on their claws, the poisoned person’s wounds gradually get frostbites, and once the poison enters the body, the whole body freezes and then they die."
Gui Yunxi, who had been forcibly brought here as a coachman, turned pale with fright and hurriedly said, "Officials, I’m just a coachman. I can’t climb such a high mountain. Please spare me, I’ll wait for you on the ship."
Xiao Jinyan chuckled, patted Gui Yunxi’s shoulder, and whispered, "Are you afraid?"
Gui Yunxi nodded hastily. He was just a common man, honestly earning a little money by driving; who had he provoked to deserve this?
