Chapter 17: Fleeing for Your Lives
I turned my head to see that the backpack had fallen not far from the monster, and the monster was looking up at the foreigner who was shooting him with a submachine gun on it, screaming angrily. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What else are you rubbing? Don't die! Luo Da Scar saw that I was motionless on it, and roared in a hurry.
"Uncle, come up, come up!" Mango didn't know if he was scared just now or what, and he spoke with a crying tone.
There are also many important things in the backpack, including the silver needle left by my grandfather, and I can't do it without picking it up. I looked left and right, and suddenly had an idea in my heart, although the idea was so bold that it could be used to cover the sky, and even I admired myself for having such courage.
I shouted to them, "My backpack is off, I'm going to get it back." After speaking, regardless of their anxious expressions, he turned around and ran a few meters to the right, picking up a round melon grenade left in a foreigner's backpack from the ground.
According to the plan in my heart, I first picked up the backpack, and then threw a grenade under the monster, so that it could taste the power of human thermal weapons, who knew that the first half of my plan was successful, but when I threw the grenade at the monster's wide mouth, I found that it was like a mud cow into the sea, and half a fart did not sound.
Damn, isn't this the biggest cheat, this kind of fatal moment to drop the chain. At this time, the foreigner above stopped for some reason, and the monster's huge eyes looked down, and the blood-red eyes were aimed at me, who was standing a few meters away from it.
After less than half a second of eye contact with the monster, I can guarantee that my movements at that moment were absolutely beyond the range of human instinct, and I rolled over and retreated, and almost at that moment, the monster's bloody mouth hit the place where I was standing. I retreated quickly, otherwise I would not have been bitten, and the force of the smash would have flattened me, and although I had dodged the fatal blow, the rubble that had been violently stirred up had several bloody marks on my face that I thought was quite handsome, and I gasped in pain.
At this moment of life and death, I couldn't care about the pain in my body, and before the monster could turn over, I pulled my legs and ran in the direction of the rock pillar. When the monster saw that it didn't bite in one bite, it let out a long cry and bit me again. It's just that after I used the potential of human escape, its angry bite didn't hit, and I ran out of its attack range.
I climbed up the rock pillar in twos and threes, and looked behind me out of the corner of my eye, and I was so frightened that I almost couldn't catch it and fell off, and the monster behind me was staring at me with red eyes, and squirmed on the ground to chase after me, and I didn't know if the smell of blood came to my nose, so much so that I almost vomited out of my overnight meal.
At this time, the gunshots of the foreigner above rang out again, and the monster hissed, stopped in pain, and took advantage of those few seconds of effort, and I climbed up a few meters. If it weren't for the timely sound of the gunshot, I'm afraid my life would be really hard to protect.
"Give me your hand!" Luo Dascar climbed on it with one hand, lowered his body to pull me, I just gave his hand to him, suddenly the mango head above screamed, I suddenly felt the cold wind under my feet, looked down, and suddenly cold sweat broke out on my forehead. The monster climbed onto the rock pillar despite the gunshot wound on its body, and jumped its bulky body at me.
I watched as the black maws got closer and closer to my feet, and almost instinctively, lifted my feet up. The monster's sharp, thin teeth almost swept against my calves, and the fishy wind from those huge mouths almost suffocated me. It was an indescribable situation, and it was really worse than shaving your head.
I didn't have the strength to eat in the lower half of my body, and my hands were even harder, and I almost couldn't support it, but fortunately, Luo Dascar held me tightly so that I wouldn't fall. The monster missed the bite, and its body fell to the ground heavily, and the stinky blood on its body suddenly splattered, spraying me all over my body, and disgusting me for a while.
Mango head shouted on it to let us climb quickly, in fact, there was no need for him to shout, Luo Da Scar and I had already climbed up, but we didn't climb far, Mango head yelled at us to be careful, and when we looked down, the monster wanted to jump up and bite us again.
"Damn, we're sick cats!" Luo Dascar scolded, went up fiercely, took out a round melon grenade from his waist, opened the fuse, and smashed it on the monster's head.
The grenade was as swift as a meteor, and it slammed down on the monster's raised head, but this time it wasn't like the one I did, when it dropped its chain at the critical moment. As soon as the grenade touched the monster's head, it exploded, and the time was just right, worthy of a former soldier. Half of the monster's head was blown apart, and the blood splattered high.
As soon as I saw Luo Dascar throw the grenade, I shouted in my heart, turned around and didn't climb two steps, and the shock wave of the grenade shook me to pieces, but fortunately I was mentally prepared to hold on to the rock pillar so that it would not fall.
The monster was now greeted by a grenade, believing that it would have enough to drink a pot, and it hissed so long that it no longer dared to chase after us, turned and swayed its heavy body, crawled towards the lake, and jumped into the water. We didn't dare to stay, and quickly climbed up, and finally climbed to a height where we could confirm that it was safe to meet Professor Jia, but we didn't expect that there would be horizontal branches on the top of the rock pillar.
I gasped for breath, and Luo Dascar was also tired enough, sitting motionless on the rock branch. I stared at Luo Dascar, there were too many questions to ask, and I had just regained a little strength, and when I wanted to ask him, I suddenly heard a muffled sound from the lake below.
Everyone looked down and saw a sound of water on the dark lake, and after a while, the monster's body slowly floated up from the bottom of the water, but after floating, it was motionless, as if it was dead. Could it finally be that it couldn't stand the wounds and went to see Marx?
My eyes moved, and I was wondering why we were in a high place, but we could see the dark lake clearly, when Professor Jia on the side suddenly shouted something, and everyone was puzzled and looked at him one after another. He didn't answer, but pointed to the bottom of the lake, and said, "Look."
I looked down at the surface of the lake, and suddenly I was stunned, only to see that the original dark lake surface was gradually brightened, the light was originally faint, just like the color before dawn, but after a while, the white light became more and more red, the whole bottom of the lake became red, what shocked me even more was that the lake was ethereal like smoke, turning into countless faces of unjust souls rising up, and the dark white bones covering the entire bottom of the lake were boundless, as if they were telling the grievances of thousands of years, this scene I will never forget.
"It must have been the bomb you threw into the troll's mouth that exploded inside it, and the bomb ignited the corpse oil that had been stored at the bottom of the lake for thousands of years, and now it's burning." What Professor Jia said next to me felt like it came from the sky.
"Professor, it seems, it's getting hotter and hotter!" I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly said something during the day.
Everyone was deeply shocked by the scene at the bottom of the lake just now, and they didn't react, but as soon as he said it, they really felt that the water vapor was steaming, the temperature was getting higher and higher, and the sweat behind them had already wet their clothes.
"It's not good, it must be the burning of corpse oil at the bottom of the lake, so that the water of the lake, which originally rose for an unknown amount of time, rose in advance, you see, the part of the water that is exposed under the rock pillar has been submerged." Professor Jia's face changed, and he looked down and said.
Luo Dascar stood up and said, "Climb up quickly, there are still some places to settle on it." After saying that, he climbed up the rock pillar first. The lake water was already boiling with blisters under the burning of corpse oil, but you can imagine how high the temperature was, the lake water rose rapidly, and everyone didn't dare to stay anymore, and they all climbed up behind Luo Dascar.
I thought that the foothold that Luo Dascar said was at most a rock branch like that just now, who knew that after climbing up for a long time, it still didn't arrive, but fortunately, the more you climbed, the more the curve of the rock pillar became bigger and bigger, otherwise it would go straight up and straight up, and no one would be able to stand it. The lake under our feet didn't know where it came from, and the speed was also fast, no matter how high we climbed, the sound of the "gurgling" water underground could still be heard.
Finally, I saw Luo Da Scar, who was originally leaning over and climbing in front of me, straightened up, I was stunned, and the people crawling around me also stood up, it turned out that we climbed to the top along the huge rock pillar, and this top was parallel to the horizon, which was really unexpected.
Luo Dascar took us to walk carefully on the rock pillar that was no more than three meters wide, and under the only remaining flashlight light, I found that the rock pillar was slowly tilting down, just when I felt strange in my heart, Luo Dascar in front of me first said that he had arrived, but the person flashed into the rock pillar is a raised rock next to it.
Everyone was strange, and suddenly Luo Dascar helped a person out of the rock, the man lowered his head and couldn't see his face, but he was very weak, and he didn't make a sound when he was supported by Luo Dascar, and he didn't know whether he was dizzy or asleep.
Luo Dascar put him under the rock and said to us, "This is the guide of the Yueren Village, he, alas, all the way here, he was scared crazy. ”
"What about the others?" Professor Jia asked.
Luo Dascar sighed again and said, "It's all dead." As he spoke, he told us about their experiences along the way, and sure enough, as we had expected, the experience was almost exactly the same as ours, first by those carrion fruit flies, and then by the "informant" of the Hundred Witch Coffin, and finally fled into the underground lake, and was swallowed by the monsters at the bottom of the lake.
"How did you know we were coming?" I asked.
Luo Da Scar sat down, shook his head and said, "I'm not an immortal, how do I know that you have also found here." I hid with my guide for two days, and when I ran out of food, I ventured down to find something to eat underneath, and then I met you. ”
"Brother Scar, it's good to have you, otherwise we wouldn't know if we were swallowed by that monster." Mango said with palpitations. Come to think of it, maybe we were paddling on the lake before, and we were already discovered by the monster, but it swallowed many people, and it didn't move because it wasn't hungry. I thought again, could it be that the monster had been feeding on human flesh at the bottom of the lake, so it grew so huge?
Luo Dascar's face was depressed, and he said: "Alas, it's all my fault, if you didn't take those clay pots away from that cave, you wouldn't have caused your brothers to die in vain under the mouths of those flies, and you wouldn't have escaped here, so you have also arrived here, and now there is no way to go to heaven and earth, let's wait for death together." ”
"What the hell is that monster? How can there be such a big body size, this is really unscientific. Hiding behind everyone during the day, he asked in a low voice, not forgetting to look under the rock pillar a few times, for fear that the dead monster would get up.
Luo Dascar shook his head and said, "I don't know what that ghost thing is?" I guess it may be some prehistoric creatures that have been living in this underground and have not become extinct, but ......" Luo Dascar said here, but paused.
I don't know why, at this time, a vague picture suddenly flashed in my mind, but at this moment, Luo Dascar's eyes turned red, and he continued: "After the guide was frightened, he kept shouting salamander god, salamander god,, what salamander god, it's a monster at all, my brothers, I'm sorry for you......"
I had already heard the words of the salamander god from the mouths of the two guides in Yueren Village, but what I thought of at this time was the demon-like idol enshrined in every household in Yueren Village, and the terrifying head was somewhat similar to the huge monster in the underground lake. According to the more scientific inferences of some ancient myths and stories, could it be that the ancestors of Yueren Village saw this monster and for some reason, regarded this monster as a god, so they were worshiped in the village for generations?
I turned my head to look for it, and was about to discuss my thoughts with Professor Jia, but I saw him turn around and carry us, and the only surviving foreigner was sitting behind him, which made me feel extremely uncomfortable.
I walked over and shouted, "Professor Jia! ”
Professor Jia shoved the object in his hand into his arms, and although he moved quickly, I could still see that he was still looking at the small porcelain piece just now. Without waiting for him to speak, I deliberately said, "Professor, does it say what we should do next?" ”
He was obviously stunned, piled up the fat on his face and smiled, and said, "Brother Huang, what are you talking about?" ”
I snorted lightly and said, "Professor, Captain Luo has been found, and our mission has been completed, in your opinion, how should we get out next?" ”
Professor Jia walked over and said with a smile: "Yes, Captain Luo has found it, but it is only half done, it seems that no one has ever told you, as long as we find them, we will go out, right?" ”
This is really not true, but when I heard it, it was a little hot, and my voice was much higher, and said: "You mean to say that we have been going all the way, with so many dead and wounded, and we still have to find the tomb of the king of Nanyue?" ”
Professor Jia laughed a few more times, but looked at Luo Dascar behind me and said, "Captain Luo, it seems that you haven't told Brother Huang anything?" ”
