Accidentally dressed as an empress

Chapter 143: Chased by Mandrills

Yunxiu and the guards approached the cave entrance cautiously. They heard the continuous calls of mandrills coming from inside the cave.

Yunxiu signaled everyone to keep quiet, and everyone entered the cave quietly.

The interior of the cave is much more spacious than imagined. The mandrills have obviously lived here for a long time. The cave is filled with all kinds of miscellaneous items, including fruits and wine they have stored.

Yunxiu raised her eyebrows slightly, nodded to the guards, and began to collect the food.

They took out the fruits stored by the mandrills. Those fruits exuded an enticing aroma and were obviously treasures collected by the mandrills from all over the forest.

At the same time, they also found several jars of wine brewed by mandrills. The aroma of the wine was so tempting that people couldn't help but want to taste it.

They took away the mandrill's food, which was a small revenge.

After collecting the food, Yunxiu and the guards left the mandrill's lair and returned to their camp with the supplies.

When the mandrills saw that their granaries had been completely looted, they screamed in anger, and their screams echoed in the forest, frightening everyone who heard them.

The leader of the mandrills had a ferocious face, eyes like copper bells, exposed fangs, and hair all over his body standing up like steel needles.

Seeing this, it became furious and made a series of strange noises, as if calling on all the mandrills to quickly chase after the hateful thief.

The rest of the mandrills also roared angrily. At the order of their leader, the mandrills chased Yunxiu and his group.

By then, Yunxiu and his companions had already run over a mile with their belongings. However, they heard the mandrill's cry, and it was getting closer and closer.

Yunxiu looked back and saw the mandrills leaping and flying through the forest, their figures as fast as ghosts.

Some mandrills climb on tree branches, using the force to move as if they were walking on flat ground; some mandrills run on the ground, raising clouds of dust.

Yunxiu's heart tightened. She had to get rid of this vengeful creature as soon as possible.

Yunxiu and the others then walked quickly, weaving through the woods, the dry leaves under their feet making rustling sounds, in an attempt to escape the pursuit of the mandrill.

The mandrills followed closely behind. Their bodies were nimble and their speed was as fast as lightning. The branches in their hands seemed to be nothing. They moved in the forest without making any sound.

Yunxiu felt her heart beating faster and she thought to herself that she must find a way out quickly to escape the pursuit of the mandrill.

As the mandrills were chasing, they kept making threatening roars, and the sounds echoed in the forest for a long time.

Some mandrills even picked up rocks and branches from the ground and threw them at Yunxiu and the others. Rocks whizzed by, branches flew like arrows, and danger was lurking everywhere.

After running for several miles, they suddenly saw a wide river. The water was shining silver and shimmering in the sunlight.

Where the river rushes, the occasional splashes of water sparkle in the sunlight.

Occasionally, a fish would leap out of the river, its scales reflecting colorful light, and then fall back into the water, creating ripples.

When Yunxiu saw this, he was overjoyed. He made a prompt decision and led the guards to run along the river bank.

The mandrills chased them relentlessly, jumping in the forest, trying to intercept Yunxiu and his group.

Yunxiu and others rushed to the river, but saw that the water was rushing and whirlpools were appearing in the river.

The guards looked embarrassed. Yunxiu saw that the baboon was closing in from behind and had no way to retreat. He could only fight this time, which was better than being caught by the baboon.

Yunxiu stepped into the river first. The water was icy cold and instantly soaked Yunxiu's clothes. A chill penetrated her heart.

But she gritted her teeth and paddled hard. Seeing this, the guards also jumped into the water.

In the river, the impact of the water was so strong that Yunxiu was almost knocked down several times, and her body swayed in the water.

The guards quickly formed a circle around Yunxiu, protecting her in the middle. While resisting the current, they struggled to swim towards the other side.

The mandrills chased to the river, howling in panic. Some of them even jumped into the river regardless of the consequences. However, the river water was very dangerous for them. Some of them were caught in the whirlpool and struggled back to the shore.

Finally, after some effort, their feet touched the land on the other side. Yunxiu and the others struggled to climb ashore, panting and collapsing on the ground.

They lay on the shore and looked back at the mandrills on the other side.

The mandrill's eyes were filled with anger and disappointment. He watched Yunxiu and his group disappear on the other side, and let out a low growl of unwillingness.

Yunxiu and the guards finally escaped the pursuit of the baboon. They stood by the river, feeling relieved.

At this moment, Yunxiu suddenly felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen.

[Oh, the host is always running around, maybe she has a miscarriage.] The system's tone was full of disappointment, thinking that the host was too restless.

"Give me a pregnancy-maintaining pill." Yunxiu replied calmly, her face slightly pale.

After Yunxiu swallowed the pregnancy-maintaining pills, she felt the pain in her lower abdomen relieved. The system's product was indeed very effective.
