Chapter 288 -284: The Shameless Monkey
Through the tireless efforts of Taotie, Taotie and Tom finally met. Seeing Taotie, Tom felt as if he were seeing a family member, his eyes quickly welling up with tears.
“Whoo whoo~”
“Family, oh~”
Tears streamed down Tom’s face instantly.
“Old Tom, did you miss me?”
Looking up at Tom, Taotie sneered with a grin.
Tom looked down at Taotie and nodded repeatedly.
“Yes!”
“I missed you to death!”
“Missed you so much I couldn’t even remember!”
Tom said with a hearty laugh.
Hearing Tom’s words, the sneer in Taotie’s voice came to an abrupt stop.
“There’s no point in talking anymore.”
“All killed by Old Tom’s chattering!”
Taotie muttered, starting to pull out the spears under Tom’s feet so that he would have a place to land. Tom had been hanging in the air for almost an hour.
If he kept hanging there, he’d soon be cured into jerky.
Hearing Taotie’s grumbles, Tom rolled his eyes, “Who’s chatting with you? Look at me, hanging in the air. Does this look like a place for chatting?”
Taotie laughed carelessly, pulling out the last spear pointing straight at Tom’s behind, and said with a smile, “All right, come on down.”
Tom looked down, made sure there were no spears left under his feet, breathed a sigh of relief, pressed the buckle on his tactical belt, released the Flying Claw Rope, and began to rappel down.
After a safe landing, Tom exhaled a breath of relief.
He released the Flying Claw and reeled it back in.
Casually stuffing the Flying Claw into the tactical pocket on his body, he pounded Taotie’s shoulder with his fist and smiled, “Thanks, bro!”
Taotie gave Tom a disdainful glance and turned to leave.
That little demeanor, so proudly arrogant.
Tom smiled slightly and didn’t mind.
Casually picking up a spear from the ground.
He followed Taotie on the small path he had cleared, heading towards the opposite shore.
Although these spears were a bit long, inside the Ancient Tomb, with no idea what might be lurking, not having a long weapon in hand felt quite unsafe.
Having been around in the underworld for a long time, Tom knew full well that guns, though intimidating, were really only effective against people and might not be as useful against the various bizarre creatures as melee weapons.
The less than ten-meter distance was virtually no obstacle for Taotie and Tom.
Reaching the edge of the pit, Taotie grabbed the Flying Claw Rope, used his arms to climb up swiftly.
Taotie’s speed was incredibly fast, quickly getting out of the pit, and with a powerful swing, he jumped onto the tomb corridor.
“Need me to pull you up?”
Taotie held onto the rope, a playful smile on his face.
Tom gave Taotie a glare, “Bugger off!”
“Hahaha~”
After being cursed by Tom, Taotie laughed out loud.
He tossed the Flying Claw Rope down again.
Tom caught the rope and used the same method as Taotie to climb out of the pit.
“Here!”
After a safe landing, Tom passed the rope back to Taotie.
“I already have a set of Flying Claw, put this set in your backpack,” Tom said solemnly to Taotie.
Shrugging, Taotie packed away the Flying Claw.
“Let’s go, Princess Your Highness must be worried to death.”
With the Flying Claw stored in his backpack, Taotie turned to Tom.
Hearing Taotie’s words, Tom felt warmed inside.
He nodded, “Okay!”
Together, Taotie and Tom walked on.
Heading towards Fang Xiaocao and Hummingbird.
They had only taken a couple of steps,
Suddenly!
A gunshot rang out from the front.
Taotie and Tom paused, looking at each other in surprise.
Immediately, their expressions changed.
Simultaneously, a grave expression appeared.
“Not good!”
“Princess Your Highness, they’re in trouble!”
Tom exclaimed in alarm and took off running.
He wanted to quickly go and support Fang Xiaocao and the others.
But after only a couple of steps, Tom was grabbed by Taotie.
“Don’t run around recklessly!”
“Follow me!”
“If you step on a trap now, I won’t have time to save you,”
Taotie explained to the puzzled Tom.
As he spoke, Taotie pulled Tom behind him.
Following the markers he had left on his way in, he hurried towards where Fang Xiaocao was.
Tom was momentarily stunned, then quickly caught on.
He hastened to follow Taotie’s steps.
A distance of a dozen meters vanished in an instant.
Soon, Taotie and Tom saw a shocking scene. Fang Xiaocao and Hummingbird were surrounded by a group of strange reptiles.
The gunshot they heard had been fired by Hummingbird.
Perhaps Hummingbird’s shot had a deterring effect, as those strange animals did not launch an attack on Fang Xiaocao and Hummingbird but chose to surround them instead.
The animals encircling Fang Xiaocao and Hummingbird looked bizarre, like monkeys that had lost all their hair due to a skin disease, completely bald with large and small red patches all over their bodies. They looked both eerie and disgusting.
Tom and Taotie exchanged glances, their eyes filled with confusion and incomprehension.
“Old Tom, do you recognize these creatures?”
Taotie tightened his grip on the spear and asked in a deep voice.
Tom knitted his brows and shook his head.
“I don’t recognize them!”
“But they seem to resemble monkeys,”
Tom hesitated, then spoke.
“However…”
Tom paused before continuing, “They look like animals I saw a few years ago, during a mission in Africa, in an abandoned laboratory, contaminated by experimental chemical waste.”
Taotie arched his eyebrows, his expression one of surprise.
“Are you suggesting someone conducted experiments on these monkeys here?”
Taotie asked, astonished.
Tom nodded: “I can’t be certain!”
“But it’s very possible!”
“Normal monkeys don’t look like this.”
“And a whole group wouldn’t all fall sick.”

Tom’s voice was very low.
Taotie shook his head: “It doesn’t matter!”
“First, we’ll kill these monkeys and rescue Princess Your Highness and her companions.”
“After we rescue Princess Your Highness and Hummingbird, we can ask where these monkeys came from, and we’ll know if there’s a laboratory.”
Hearing Taotie’s words, Tom nodded in agreement.
Tom thought what Taotie said made a lot of sense.
If these monkeys really were experimental subjects, they would most likely have taken the laboratory as their nest.
Looking into it would reveal the truth.
“Let’s move!”
Tom said with a heavy voice.
“Attack!”
Taotie roared angrily, gripping his spear and charging out with vigorous steps, heading straight for those pesky monkeys.
The spear in Taotie’s hand thrust out fiercely.
With a single thrust, he impaled one of the pesky monkeys.
Taotie’s sudden strike, killing a monkey with a single jab, threw the rest of them into disarray as they shrieked and swarmed towards him.
Despite being faced with so many pesky monkeys, Taotie didn’t treat them as a big deal, his spear whirling continuously as he sent the charging monkeys flying.
Seeing Taotie’s tremendous killing, Fang Xiaocao, surrounded by a disgusting group of monkeys and scared pale, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“We’re saved…”
Fang Xiaocao patted her chest, muttering to herself.
When she saw Tom, following behind Taotie and bursting out of the rear, she was overjoyed, almost to the point of letting out a scream.
