04 Wolves and clues
When he reached the top of the mountain, it was already two o'clock in the middle of the night, and Chen Yan's physical strength and spirit had reached the limit. If you don't rest, I'm afraid I'm going to die suddenly on the road!
"It's still so bright, if I hadn't had a watch, I guess it would still be afternoon. Chen Yan threw off his schoolbag and collapsed on the ground.
Xiang Mu walked to the top of the cliff and looked down at the route below, "The jungle in this area is almost complete, but where is the end?"
Chen Yan followed his gaze. It seems that something is wrong, but I can't say it.
In the distance, there are grasslands on the edge of the jungle, and there seem to be mountains and ice fields in the distance. Different landforms may have relatively different exits.
The two of them were looking closely, when suddenly there was a low cry of a beast behind them. Slowly, the voices grew louder and louder. Chen Xuan swept away his exhaustion, and his soft nerves tightened again!
'It's a wolf!'
Xiang Mu took a step forward, blocking in front of Chen Yan, silently holding the hilt of the knife at his waist with one hand, revealing a hint of murderous intent in his eyes. Chen Yu took out the pan in his bag, and he was more scared in his heart.
There were about thirteen or fourteen gray wolves, and they scattered in all directions, encircling the two of them on the cliff. Each wolf lowered its head, revealing its sharp claws. I saw the leading wolf, jumping with both paws, and pounced on Xiang Mu. The wolves behind it followed, all of them flashing their claws and striking in the air.
Xiang Mu's body flickered, and then the silver light came out of the sheath, drew the knife, and slammed towards the wolf's neck, 'Wow-', and the blood suddenly slashed across the knife surface and sprayed in the air. Immediately after that, three or four more pounced, and Xiang Mu waved a long knife or slashed or stabbed, dodging the attack while giving the wolves a fatal blow.
Chen Yan was holding the pan on the side, his eyes were about to look straight, "It turns out that the superpower contest really needs to be participated by superpowers, is it too late for me to quit?"
The wolves did not choose to retreat because of Xiang Mu's attack, they even became more ferocious because of the blood of their compatriots! Not only that, the number of wolves from the beginning could only go up, as if they appeared out of thin air!
Xiang Mu concentrated on fighting the wolves, but he knew that this kind of war of attrition would eventually lead to destruction.
'It's not good!' Chen Xun looked at the endless stream of wolves, and the strange feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger: "There must be some mechanism!'. Chen Yu picked up the frying pan and ran from the side until he was gone. He hid himself in the bushes on the left side of the cliff and circled behind the wolves.
I saw a black hole appear behind the bushes, and then a vicious gray wolf jumped out of the hole and rushed away in the direction of Xiang Mu.
'It's a trap!' Chen Xuan reacted at this time, it turned out that the previous sense of disobedience was like this!
There were more and more wolves, and gradually the cliff was blocked. Xiang Mu stood in front of the wolves, like a lion surrounded by hyenas. He brandished his long knife, his posture as sharp as that of a lion. But how can a lone lone lion be worthy of a pack of gray wolves!
The gray wolf, who had been waiting for a long time, waved his teeth and pounced out of the group, and just as Xiang Mu was about to fight to the death, Chen Yu came out from the bushes next to him. jumped and sent the two straight to the cliff. At that time, the wolves swarmed up and occupied the cliff mouth!
In an instant, the two breathed together, and time seemed to stop for a moment. Xiang Mu looked at Chen Yu's face, and finally a trace of surprise appeared on his face. And Chen Yan howled: "Ah!"
Almost instinctively, Chen Yu hugged Xiang Mu's waist, and Xiang Mu reflexively grabbed the last stone at the corner of the cliff, and the two hung on the edge of the cliff like a line.
But Xiang Mu, who had just experienced the battle, could not withstand the weight of the two, and gradually slipped his fingers away one by one, and finally Xiang Mu failed to grasp the last straw, and the two fell straight down......
"Ah!!!!h
It wasn't until his feet hit the ground and Xiang Mu patted his body to signal that he was safe, that Chen Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that the bet was right......
"I thought I was going to die! Fortunately, I guessed it!" Chen Yu touched the little heart that was pounding on his chest and comforted himself.
"This is?" Xiang Mu looked at the situation of the two of them floating below the cliff at this time, thinking back to Chen Yan's reckless move just now, and was a little confused.
"That's it, let's look for a door like an exit nearby!" Chen Xuan lay in the air, as if he was looking for something invisible with his hands.
Xiang Mu followed Chen Yan's movements and began to grope up.
"I'm just guessing," the two of them now look like they're suspended in the air, but they're actually stepping on a thick layer of metal under their feet, and when they look up, three meters up is the cliff they just fell. "From the moment I entered the jungle, I vaguely felt that something was wrong, why did I use virtual images instead of the maze itself?"
"......" Xiang Mu listened carefully, but his hand did not stop.
"If it's to increase the difficulty, wouldn't it be better to put a trap directly in the maze?" Chen Hao groped carefully and seemed to touch a raised edge: "There must be some purpose for such a big effort!"
Continuing to grope along the raised edge, Chen Yan seemed to have found a button, "Found it! Xiang Mu come here!" He pressed the button, and a silver iron door appeared in front of him, with the same lock on the door as the outside, and a socket next to it, and if you look closely, there is a relief of the number 8 on it.
Immediately took out the playing cards in his pocket and pulled out the three peach heart 8s, Chen Hao used his mobile phone to send a location, "Call Fuska back first!"
The two looked up again, and by this time, the wolves on the cliff had long since disappeared, leaving only the corpses of dead wolves.
"I guess, using virtual images is just to hide the exit!" Chen Yan put away the remaining playing cards, sat with Xiang Mu and waited quietly for Fuska: "Didn't the chief referee say that?" 'With the determination to die', it must not be a simple warning, but a forenotice! He had expected that we would encounter such a scene! The wolves were also arranged in advance, and as soon as someone reached the top of the cliff, they would appear, so it only increased, not decreased!"
"Not afraid of what if?" Xiang Mu asked, muttering in his heart: "If the wolves are a sign of the appearance of the exit, then how can you determine that the bottom of the cliff must be safe?"
Chen Yan smiled and pointed to the scenery below the cliff. Xiang Mu said clearly: "It's a person!"
"That's right, the man we tied up to the river just now is gone. Although it is not ruled out that they have escaped, the scenery below is too clean! I guess it is a virtual projection, so there is no trace. Chen Yan then licked his fingers and hung them in the air, as if feeling something.
"And it's too quiet on the cliff, how can there be no wind at all in such a high place, so it must not be empty below!" Chen Hao explained, in fact, when he pounced on Xiang Mu, he was already so scared that he stopped breathing, after all, if he guessed wrong, it would be one corpse and two lives!
The time spent waiting passed in a flash, and finally a touch of red appeared on the top of the cliff.
"Sorry, everyone!" saw Fuska raise her hands above her head in a gesture of surrender. If you look closely, there seems to be someone behind you.
'It's him!'
