Chapter 11: Fighting for Life
There was a rustling sound in the caves on all sides, and I suddenly felt hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at us, and I couldn't help but feel creepy, not to mention whether Abang was really as tough as he appeared, Gu Fei and I were both ordinary people, in this case, the combat effectiveness was almost zero, and it was already a blessing not to hold back.
I don't know how long it took, the voice disappeared, but no one dared to relax.
I slowly turned my flashlight and looked around, cold sweat kept pouring out, I felt like my clothes were already soaking wet, and the quick-drying clothes were useless here.
When the light of the flashlight swept to the left, I suddenly saw a hideous face, and when I shone back again, it disappeared, it was moving! Or maybe they're moving! I subconsciously thought so. I began to shrink back, and the four of them were close together.
"Click...... Click....... "It's the sound of water droplets.
A hand suddenly put on my left shoulder, I thought it was Wu Laosi awake, subconsciously turned around, but saw an unforgettable face in my life. It takes on the form of a rickety with only skin and skeleton, its entire body as if covered in some special slime, no eyes, no obvious nose, only two tiny nostrils and a mouth that almost occupies most of its face! Only then did I realize that the "click" just now was not a drop of water, but saliva dripping down one of his long fangs!
Before I had time to think and exclaim, my body reflexively threw it away, Gu Fei and Ah Bang were also startled by me, and they looked around and found that we didn't know when, we were already surrounded by this group of monsters. We had just been sweeping the cavern above, but who knew that these things had already crept down silently, lurking around us, and we didn't even know that the danger was so close.
It's no exaggeration to say that my legs were already weak, especially when I saw that there were all those monsters around me, and I almost despaired, and then I regretted it a little bit, and I went into such a place.
Ah Bang lifted Wu Laosi with one hand, and with the other hand began to shoot around, for a while, the scene fell into chaos, those things seemed to be endless, kill one, and immediately two will pounce. I also let go completely, anyway, the ending is death, maybe I can live a few more minutes if I fight, and drag a few more for us to be buried.
There were gunshots and the shrill screams of those monsters all around, my arms and legs were probably about to be bitten off, the pain gradually began to numb, and my consciousness became blurred, and the action of firing the gun had long since become a mechanical repetition, and the strong desire to survive did not allow me to stop.
"Fire! Hurry up and ignite the fire! In a trance, I didn't know who shouted like this, I was clever, and poured out all the things in Wu Laosi's backpack, not caring about the things that came from behind, grabbed the lighter and lit the backpack. That's when I turned around and fired two shots in the back.
The light of the fire grew bigger and bigger, and although those things had no eyes and could not be seen, they obviously felt the scorching temperature, and jumped back, and we quickly gathered together, all of them looking very wolf. Wu Laosi, who was supported by Abang, didn't know when he was sober, holding a gun in his left hand, and his accuracy was no less than Abang's marksmanship, which was worthy of being an old man.
There was no time to sigh, the backpack was not burned, and it was going to be extinguished in a short time, and we looked at the group of monsters that were gradually approaching again with short breath, Wu Laosi pointed to the waterhole and asked us all to jump down.
In a hurry, that's the only way. As soon as I moved, a monster wanted to pounce, but was shot by Wu Laosi and fell directly into the pool.
Strange to say, the monster fluttered, but without making a splash, it sank as if something was pulling it from below. Ah Bang also felt that it was wrong, so he told us not to move, and set fire to the corpses of the nearby monsters, and immediately smelled the scorching stench.
He was prolonging the burning of the fire, but the monsters around him were getting closer and closer, and their cries were getting sharper and sharper.
The burning clothes were thrown into the pool by Abang, and did not stay on the surface of the water for a moment, but sank to the bottom of the pool in an instant.
Originally, Wu Laosi still blamed Abang for being suspicious, and he was still looking forward and backward at this juncture. According to him, he was either bitten to death, eaten by a group of animals, and his bones were gone, or he immediately jumped into the pool, and the worst outcome was to suffocate in the water.
But in this way, we were all stunned, this is simply the weak water in ancient legends, the feathers do not float, go down, and I don't want to come up again.
The fire faded away, and I could already feel the deadly monsters coming at us, and strangely enough, I had only fired a shot before I heard a cat's scream, not very loud, but very penetrating in the hole. Gu Fei pushed me and told me not to be stunned, I asked him if he heard the cat meow, and I didn't get an answer this time.
But something even stranger happened, the monsters suddenly seemed to be terrified, and they were scurrying around, but they didn't mean to attack us again.
We did not dare to relax, holding our guns and watching them vigilantly, but if we saw anyone approaching, we would shoot immediately.
The monsters gradually disappeared, and they all crawled back into the cave as fast as they could, Gu Fei told us to be careful, there is a big character coming. Since ancient times, everyone who lives in groups, whether it is a human or an animal, will always have a leader, and they are so flustered just now, there must be something terrible coming.
We leaned against the edge of the pool, and forced ourselves to see what other ghosts would appear. The whole cave was calm again, and only the sound of our breathing could be heard. It was a long time before I heard the faint sound of footsteps coming from ahead.
In the scuffle, the flashlight was thrown aside, and with a little light, it was vaguely obvious that it was a person.
Someone here?! He came in from the outside, just like us, so where did he come from? Or did he live here in the first place? I shook my head with difficulty, it's really crazy, this kind of place, except for the jade and a pool of weird water, there is only the group of monsters left before, who can survive in this situation?
Wu Laosi fired a shot in that direction, and the man immediately stopped, and Ah Bang shouted: "Who is it?!" โ
The man didn't speak, paused for about a minute, and then walked slowly towards us. He walked unhurriedly and calmly. As I got closer, I realized that it was a man in a gray-black coat, and even in the dark, I could still feel his eyes. There was also a dark cat beside him, and the sound I heard just now was its bark. The big boss we thought in our hearts was actually a cat?!
If I'm outside, I'm probably going to say, "Hey, buddy, you're pretty cool." "However, in this situation, I really have no strength to speak, and compared to our wolf Bรจi, he seems much more calm.
He looked down at us like a victorious king, looked down at his captive, and finally stopped at me. Just experienced a life-and-death battle, and now there is such a somewhat mysterious person, everyone is a little confused for a while, should he be regarded as a life-saving hero, or a monster king who is stronger than a monster?
"Follow me."
He said coldly, I don't know if it's for me or everyone. Gu Fei and I hugged each other, and Ah Bang directly carried Wu Laosi.
As he turned, the black cat jumped up and onto his shoulder, its blue-green eyes staring at us as if it were a pair of eyes behind his back.
