Chapter 146
Running, running frantically, running with bursting lungs and broken hearts, not daring to look back, just concentrating on running, not daring to think about whether the hut could stop it, and only comforting himself with affirmation. Someone turned around while running, and suddenly let out a broken scream, and then fell behind, and the fate was unknown. A group of people rushed into the hut, which was empty, but there were several open planks on the ground, and there was a very obvious tunnel underneath.
"Jump!" shouted the captain, and the group jumped down as fast as the crowd slammed the plank shut, and then they continued running down the tunnel without looking back. With a slight shake on the ground, dust fell overhead, and it seemed that a section of the tunnel behind it had collapsed directly - but luckily, it ended here. The animal chasing them didn't seem to be pursuing any further, perhaps a big buffalo followed ...... "We've lost four people." "Four people are enough to keep this beast happy for a while.
Until the end, the survivors didn't know what kind of beast it was—but the captain and the veteran thought it was some kind of feline, a very large feline. The men walked silently along the tunnel, and the atmosphere was a little lighter as they walked, for judging by the directions, they were not far from the means of transportation after climbing up, and there was a good hope that they would leave this damn place just like that.
The tunnel is very spacious, and even if you walk upright, you don't feel stuffy - in fact, the top of this place has now become six or seven meters high from the height of two or three meters in front, and the width has spread to about ten meters. The tunnel is in the shape of an S-shape, but there is no error in the general direction, and there is no fork in the road. Soon the men were on a patio.
It's more like a patio than a sinkhole, and almost everyone is amazed by the peculiar scenery here. The road ahead turns straight ahead, and at the bend is a huge sinkhole with a diameter of more than 100 meters and an incalculable depth. If you look up, there is a pit mouth with a diameter of about 50 meters, and a waterfall pours from one side of the pit mouth to the bottomless sinkhole below, showing a rainbow in the sunlight.
Here the tunnel becomes a road along the edge of the sinkhole, with no handrails, no more than forty centimeters wide, and after bypassing most of the sinkhole, there is a passage diagonally opposite. Everyone lined up and walked along the road. The air flow from this sinkhole was blowing from below, and there was the stench of sulfur and other things, "Rotten creatures?" someone said, but was immediately stopped by the captain, "Don't speak, I always have an ominous premonition, hurry up and hurry inside." ”
Everyone walked carefully along the road in silence. The road is not smooth, there is dust and gravel on it, it is quite slippery, everyone must pay close attention to their feet, and if you slip, you don't know what it will look like. But then you will inevitably kick some rocks or something into the sinkhole...... The people on the cave walls were almost at the entrance, but from the depths of the sinkhole there was a strange clicking sound.
The voices were getting louder and louder, and they sounded closer, "Don't stop, hurry, speed up, rush in!" the captain shouted, and everyone picked up speed, desperately speeding up their pace at the risk of rolling down. However, some people had weak feet and began to cry while half-squatting. "Damn, kick him down!!" the captain roared, but the second fool in the back couldn't do it, and it was the mercenary in front of him who kicked the man down decisively—he shot first to avoid being held in the leg.
The sound of gunfire echoed through the sinkhole, and the sound below grew louder and faster, and there was a slight sound coming up. Just when a few people were still able to rush into the mouth, the owner of the voice finally appeared—several reptiles with long triangular mouths, heads and backs with bones exposed, and at first glance very hideous carnivores, with their forked tongues spitting out and inhaling, making the slightest sound.
They climbed up with their two well-developed forelimbs on the wall of the sinkhole, and the back half of their bodies were still invisible, but the exposed front half of their bodies alone was five or six meters long, and the big triangular mouth was almost two meters long. The people frantically picked up speed and ran into the hole, and the last soldier raised his rifle and started shooting. These strange creatures are quite agile, but creatures are creatures after all, and even if they look terrifying, they can't stop bullets.
The bullet shattered the bone armor of these monsters, and of course the muscles of the organisms could not stop the bullet from penetrating, and these creatures were not the kind of monsters that could not be killed by rubber, and the bullets still made their flesh fly sideways and then fall to the ground. At this time, it was discovered that the creature only had forelimbs, and the hind half of its body was similar to that of a snake, and it had no hind limbs, which was unprecedented for this monster - but it was no surprise what kind of monster appeared on this island now.
"Let's go, let's go, there's no need to stay!" the captain shouted, and at this moment, a squirt of air suddenly erupted from the sinkhole behind him, carrying the stench of sulfur and rotting flesh, and a low roar came from below the sinkhole. This is supposed to be a big guy, and the weapons in people's hands are probably not enough. It was also at this time that the middle-aged man who had originally persuaded them not to go deep appeared in front of him, "Let's go, the mature bodies of these reptiles are about to appear." The weapons in your hands cannot be stopped. ”
After speaking, the man gestured, and the corpse of the reptile lying on the ground seemed to be pushed out by an invisible force and fell towards the pit. "It's going to take a little time for that thing to climb up, you guys can pick up a little bit and you'll be fine. The next tunnel was not long, and soon they found a rope ladder through the mouth of the cliff by the sea, from which they could still see their vehicle. "There's basically nothing here that your weapons can't deal with, so go back. By the way, tell people not to come again, it's dangerous here. ”
In fact, there was still a lot to ask the middle-aged man, but it was clear that he didn't want to say anything, and there were several of his companions on the cliff.
However, the magical scenery here is probably going to leak out eventually, and the middle-aged man's warning is weak - what can stop people's curiosity? Not to mention that the ecology of these creatures is enough to make people famous and rich, so it is foreseeable that many people will come here with brand new equipment to explore, and the middle-aged man knows this, so he just smiled bitterly. "Those of us who have 'power' are probably also exposed to the eyes of the world. ”
