Chapter 4 Accidents
After Zhou Xiusheng and Mo Jie entered the passage on the right, they obviously felt that the passage was sinking into the ground, and the slope was quite large. After the two of them walked for a while, there was a sound www.biquge.info of "whoosh" in their ears, as if water was flowing through.
Zhou Xiusheng glanced at Mo Jie and said, "There should be an underground river down here!" Mo Jie nodded in agreement.
The two of them went down to the bottom of the passage, and sure enough, they saw an underground river in front of them, the water was clear but bottomless. Zhou Xiusheng looked at the upstream of the water, but it was so dark that he couldn't see anything, and the river seemed to be coming from the darkness and back into the darkness.
At this moment, several dark shadows suddenly appeared on the upstream riverbank, slowly moving towards this side. Zhou Xiusheng hurriedly tugged at Mo Jie's clothes, and Mo Jie was very clever and immediately extinguished the torch in his hand when he saw this.
It became pitch black again, and Zhou Xiusheng looked over there with wide eyes, but he couldn't see anything. The sound of walking slowly approached them, and the atmosphere became more and more depressing.
After a long time, Zhou Xiusheng couldn't help but light the torch, his eyes suddenly brightened, and suddenly a big face pressed towards the tip of his nose, which startled Zhou Xiusheng and subconsciously took a few steps back.
There was a sound of laughter in his ears, Zhou Xiusheng and Mo Jie looked at each other, and in front of them turned out to be five people from Group 67, and it was Lu Pengfei who almost touched Zhou Xiusheng's face, only to see that he was pointing at Zhou Xiusheng at this time and laughing, and said: "Ah Xiu, you guy is still so timid as a mouse." ”
Mo Jie and Zhou Xiusheng's noses were crooked, and the two of them knew the danger here after several life and death escapes. At this moment, the five people in the 67 group were still grinning, and they did not restrain the sound they made when they walked and talked.
Mo Jie was about to scold Lu Pengfei, when there was a rustling sound in his ears again, Zhou Xiusheng and Mo Jie's faces immediately changed greatly, and they looked up at the small hole in the wall.
Sure enough, they soon saw a steady stream of huge black ants crawling out of their holes. The people of Group 67 obviously encountered the giant ant for the first time, and they didn't know its horror, but they actually observed it with great interest.
Zhou Xiusheng shouted, "Run!" He took the hand of a person next to him and ran backwards. Mo Jie reacted faster, and had already turned around and ran back to the original passage.
The remaining members of the 67 group were confused, and they were still standing in place inexplicably, thinking about what a few little ants had to be afraid of, but the number of giant ants gathered more and more, and they began to panic. Lu Lanzhi and Zhang Guangnian, who were close to the passage, also ran desperately towards the passage after reacting.
The other two were very deadly because they had no torches in their hands, and after a while, their bodies were crawling with giant ants, and a miserable scream came out of their mouths, sounding terrible. Lu Pengfei wanted to go back to save them several times, but was stopped by Zhou Xiu, "Don't go back, they can't be saved." ”
After all, Lu Lanzhi and the three of them were only seventeen or eighteen years old, when had they seen such a tragedy, the screams of their companions being bitten to death seemed to still echo in their ears, and they all ran silently behind Zhou Xiusheng with their heads down. Zhang Guangnian was a few years older than the others, and he also took care of observing the environment of the cave passage when he walked.
After walking for a while, Lu Pengfei shook off Zhou Xiusheng's hand fiercely and said, "Damn, we walked into the cave for a few hours without incident, how come we met man-eating ants as soon as we met you." ”
Zhou Xiusheng said angrily: "In this strange and dangerous environment, you are still yelling. These dark creatures live in the dark all year round, and their eyes are degraded, but their sense of hearing is particularly sensitive. ”
Lu Lanzhi and the three of them walked this passage for the first time, and at this time they were following behind, Zhou Xiusheng suddenly smelled a smell of blood coming from above, and his heart suddenly felt bad, thinking if it was the Mo Ming who ran in front of him, he quickened his pace and walked up.
When Zhou Xiusheng and the others walked to the empty hole with the moon mushroom, they saw Mo Jie's body lying on the white moon mushroom, as if he was holding someone in his arms. Zhou Xiusheng ran up to see that Mo Jie was holding Li Yi in his arms, he had a dagger stuck in his head and neck, and blood flowed all along his neck, staining the moon mushrooms below red. Li Yi's eyes were round, one finger was raised as if to point somewhere, and his mouth was grunting to make a sound, but unfortunately the knife was too ruthless, cutting off half of his neck, and after working hard for a long time, Li Yi's body was weak and he lost his breath.
"Boss Mo, what's going on?" Zhou Xiusheng asked. Lu Lanzhi and the three of them also looked at the scene in front of them in amazement.
Mo Jie hugged Li Yi and said sadly: "When I ran here, I saw a middle-aged man fleeing from here, Li Yi didn't know why he came here, his neck was lying on the ground with blood, I hurriedly picked him up, I wanted to see if he was still saved, and then you also ran over, and you all knew what happened next." ”
Zhou Xiusheng always felt that something was wrong, the three of them fought with the middle-aged man before, and the middle-aged man knocked all three of them to the ground and didn't kill them, why did he come back and kill Li Yi who was alone at this time?
In addition, the dagger stuck in Li Yi's neck is a standard dagger issued by the Awakening School, and Zhou Xiusheng pulled it out and saw that it was Li Yi's severed dagger.
Lu Lanzhi and Lu Pengfei came up at this time to ask what was going on, Zhou Xiusheng told them about meeting the middle-aged man, Lu Lanzhi heard that in addition to the people in the 67 and 55 groups in the cave, there was a middle-aged man peeping behind him, and the hairs on his body stood up.
"From now on, I suggest that everyone should get together and not be separated again, lest they be poisoned by that man again." Zhou Xiusheng said.
"Good!" Lu Lanzhi and Lu Pengfei responded. Mo Jie was silent and didn't speak, Zhang Guangnian's eyes swept over Mo Jie, and he also nodded.
After a while, everyone settled down, and Lu Pengfei saw clearly that the white piece was all moon mushrooms, and shouted: "So many moon mushrooms? We walked in another cave for a few hours and found nothing, but we didn't expect it to be such a big place. ”
Mo Jie snorted, looked at Lu Lanzhi and the three of them coldly and asked, "We made an appointment in the academy to meet in the cave, why don't you wait for us to come in?" ”
Lu Lanzhi, as the leader of Group 67, was a little embarrassed when he heard Mo Jie's words, glanced at Zhang Guangnian, and thought that he originally planned to come in after meeting with the people of Group 55, but he couldn't stand the instigation of Zhang Guangnian, plus Lu Pengfei was struggling on the side, he led the group to come in as soon as his mind was hot, and it was indeed a loss to say it.
Lu Pengfei saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, so he said: "This matter is not right for us, don't mention the past, after we finish picking this moon mushroom, let's hurry out of the cave!" ”
Mo Jie said: "No, the people of our 55th group have run away, Zheng Kang and Zhang Shaofan are missing, we must find them and go out together." ”
Zhang Guangnian also said: "Yes, we should help each other when we come out for trial, we should go to them and bring them back safely." ”
Zhou Xiusheng also nodded. Although Lu Lanzhi and Lu Pengfei were eager to get out of the cave immediately at this moment, the minority obeyed the majority, so they had to agree to go to Zheng Kang and Zhang Shaofan together.
After several people picked all the moon mushrooms together, they sat together to discuss the search for the monkey and Zhang Shaofan, Mo Jie asked, "Lan Zhi, you came from another passage, didn't you meet anyone or hear any sound on the way?" ”
Lu Lanzhi shook his head and said: "When we first entered the cave, the road we chose was random, the passage we chose, we didn't even encounter a mouse along the way, the passage has been turning around, we are dizzy, we have been encountering the underground river, we are discussing the river on the bank of the river to take a look, I saw the light of your torches, Lu Pengfei said that it must be the people of the 55 group, I want to come over to scare you, and I will meet you later!" ”
After listening to Lu Lanzhi's words, Zhou Xiusheng turned his head and said to Mo Jie: "Boss Mo, there are two passages in front of this, one leads to the underground river, and now it seems that the monkeys didn't choose that path, otherwise they will definitely encounter the people of Group 67." ”
Mo Jie said, "Well, then they must have gone to the left passage, without further ado, we will go to them now." ”
The five people regrouped into a five-person group, Mo Jie took the lead, Lu Peng flew away to the second position, Zhou Xiusheng still walked in the middle, and Zhang Guangnian broke off. In order to prevent the giant ants from suddenly appearing, all five of them lit torches and headed for the cave deep on the left.
Mo Jie seemed to be in a hurry to find the monkey and Zhang Shaofan, he was moving fast, and because the road of the passage was not easy to walk, the distance between the few people slowly widened. Lu Pengfei saw Mo Jie walking so fast, afraid that something would happen to him, so he followed him closely.
This cave was the first time they had walked, and they should have been cautious, but now that Mo Jie and Lu Peng were flying away so fast, Zhou Xiusheng was slowly unable to keep up with their speed.
The team was stretched into two sections, Zhou Xiusheng wanted to open his mouth and shout to Mo Jie to go slower, but he was afraid of alarming the giant ants, so he had to speed up the pace of progress, fortunately, this cave was a one-way passage, there was no fork in the road, although he couldn't see the torch light of the two people, but he could hear the footsteps of them walking in front of him.
Lu Lanzhi said in the back: "Ah Xiu, you go quickly, I'm afraid of any accidents." ”
Zhou Xiusheng answered, and was about to open his mouth to say something, when there was a sound of fighting in front of the cave. The three of them tightened their hearts, and hurriedly quickened their pace and ran forward, seeing the bloody scene of the accident.
