When Yu Yueming heard this question, he did not answer immediately, but instead showed a look of recollection.

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly turned to another topic.

"When it comes to the strange ape just now, I didn't remember it before, but now when I think about it, it reminds me of a story I've read before.

"A young man got lost in the cave and encountered a creature similar to this kind of strange ape. The man killed the ape in fear, but through the sound of the ape's death, he discovered that the ape was once a human - a human who was lost in the cave like him." (Note: Lao Luo's work, "Beast in the Cave")

He specifically said this, of course he didn't mention it casually.

This story was created by Lovecraft, the founder of the Myth of Chronicles. Although this novel is not generally classified as a work of Chronicles, it is the same creator after all, and it is somewhat related to the myth of Chronicles.

Because he had encountered a gang monster before, he was somewhat sensitive to this information. The situation they encountered is indeed very similar to this story.

"However, there are still different things." Yu Yueming found that after strengthening his physical fitness, his memory improved a lot and was able to recall many details. "The creatures in the story are not that strong, they are not covered with hair, and their eyes are at least intact in appearance."

"Does the story tell me how to get out of the cave?" Lu Songyan asked with interest.

"……without."

Lu Songyan said "Oh" in disappointment, losing interest in this story.

Yu Yueming explained: "I want to say that the creatures in that story have a good sense of smell. Since the monster ape we just met just now cannot see, there must be other senses that can help it survive. If you don't figure this out, you will easily suffer if you follow it rashly."

"You're right." Lu Songyan nodded, "You mentioned smell and also pay attention to its hearing. Have you heard any strange sounds before? What's the shape of its ears?"

Yu Yueming recalled: "There is no other sound except the roar after being attacked. If its ears are... they are the ears of ordinary primates. Except for their hair, they have similar shapes to humans."

"Then the probability of using ultrasound to explore the path is relatively small," Lu Songyan judged. "Your hearing is similar to that of ordinary dogs, right? The hearing threshold of dogs is much wider than that of humans. Although not all ultrasound waves can be heard, it has a lot overlap with the ultrasound frequency range of bats' path to explore the path. Moreover, the monster ape has such a long ear, which is probably inconvenient to receive the returned sound waves."

In this way, only the smell and sound need to be hidden. Lu Songyan was very decisive and took out a bag of powder from his bag and sprinkled it on both himself and Yu Yueming.

She explained that these were powders they had carried with them after entering the copy, used to hide the smell. The material was unknown, but the effect was very good. Yu Yueming felt that this was probably from the copy.

"This cave is so strange. You may not be able to catch up with that monster ape when you walk back."

Looking at Lu Songyan who took off her shoes to lower the sound of footsteps, Yu Yueming reminded her to be mentally prepared first.

"Anyway, you have to try it. You can't sit there and wait for death. Although the countdown is more than six days, you can't really delay it until the last moment."

Yu Yueming agreed with her statement and did not remind her, walking ahead to lead the way.

The canine family does not have the ability to move silently like the cat family, but it is still much more hidden than that of humans. Yu Yueming tracks their own breath and walks along the way.

They were very lucky. This time, there was no strange change in the road, and they successfully found the monster ape.

The white ape walked past the intersection ahead of them and was facing them sideways.

Yu Yueming found that the wound caused by the crossbow on it had healed, but blood was still vaguely seeping on his wrist.

It seems that his attack is more powerful. He is very satisfied with the result.

This strange ape did not respond to the light, so Lu Songyan still turned on the flashlight to maintain the vision of the two.

Now, the monster ape has calmed down and is moving forward with all its feet on the ground at a steady pace.

Its travels slightly slower than that of ordinary people. Before the forelimbs landed, it was exploring in the air, as if it was touching the space in front of it and exploring whether there were obstacles.

The two players were alert, tried their best to lower their footsteps, slowed down their movements, and followed quietly behind the monster ape.

This action seems simple, but it actually consumes extremely physical strength. In order to make the action as light as possible, they need to tighten the muscles of their bodies and control every detail of their bodies.

Fortunately, Yu Yueming had to move forward secretly during the hunting process in the wild, so his body also had corresponding instincts. However, Lu Songyan not only had to control the sound of footsteps, but also needed to prevent the equipment on his carry-on, which required several times of energy.

Moreover, not only are they physically exhausted, they also need to concentrate on observing the actions of the monster ape and the movements around them, and beware of the other party being alarmed and launching attacks at any time, and they also have a considerable mental burden.

But neither of them gave up and followed the monster ape quietly.

They watched the strange ape wandering casually in the cave, grabbing the thick moss on the ground and stuffing it into their mouths.

Its tall body naturally needs to consume corresponding levels of energy. For several hours, it is constantly shifting its position and gnawing on moss.

Just after Yu Yueming was almost hungry when he saw this scene, things finally changed.

The monster ape finally had his stomach full, stopped grabbing the moss, and began to rush.

Two players followed it quietly. Yu Yueming noticed that the monster ape seemed to recognize the direction not as the way, but as the direction.

The reason he guessed this was because the monster ape was not walking in a straight line parallel to the cave wall when advancing, but always tilted slightly in a certain direction. When encountering a fork, it would not explore several forks, but directly choose the intersection closest to the direction it deviated before.

Based on the good sense of direction of this body and his experience along the way, he can now basically confirm that although the road in the cave will be bent in the middle, the direction of the entire section of the road is basically the same as the direction facing the fork in the road.

In other words, when choosing a fork, you can basically determine which direction you will go through the hole.

Thinking back to the weirdness of this cave, Yu Yueming guessed that this strange ape might have some unique ability to distinguish directions.

He raised his front paws and gestured to remind Lu Songyan, allowing her to take time to pay attention to the pointing of the compass.

They followed the monster ape for almost an hour, and the scene in front of them finally changed.

At the end of the road, an empty space appeared before them.

It was a spacious cave, similar in height to the previous passage, with an area of ​​about the size of a football field.

What’s important is that in this space, dozens of strange apes are wandering around.

They either walk around aimlessly, lie down and rest on the right plot, or howl and communicate with each other, but they have a different kind of vitality.
