Chapter 219: Torture
Zhang Bao'er asked suspiciously, "Xu Zuo, could it be that you escaped from here?" ”
Xu Zuo shook his head: "I escaped from another cave, that hole is very secret, and no one usually notices." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"I don't know where this hole leads, but it's a feeling I'm very familiar with, and it's in this feeling that I've spent more than seven hundred days and nights."
Xu Zuo's voice seemed to float from hell, with a strong sense of death: "I have a strong premonition, I'm afraid we should not be far from death!" ”
Because the hole was too large, the torch in his hand was extremely rudimentary, and it was almost useless, and only a little road ahead was seen, but it was just empty, as if he were ignoring. In it, people feel even more flustered, as if they have fallen into an endless void.
The infinite darkness and helpless panic, not only Zhang Baoer, but others also somewhat understood what it was like for Xu Zuo to spend those days. But fortunately, there are still people around them walking together, and the faint light of the fire is still barely supporting their hearts.
Seeing that several people were already in front, Zhang Baoer helped Xu Zuo to speed up his pace.
Together with Xu Zuo and Zhang Bao'er, who walked at the end, there were a total of six people in the cave at this time.
At the forefront was the oldest subordinate under Yang Xinzhi, everyone called him Lao He, and he was about forty years old.
Maybe it was because of the long-term experience of the world, and with the ghost-headed knife in his hand, Lao He didn't seem to care too much about the darkness, but just strode forward.
The light from the torch enveloped the whole person, making his back look strange.
"Lao He, slow down a little." Yang Xin was afraid that the speed would be too fast, and Xu Zuo, who had not yet recovered his body, would be pulled down by the team, so he stopped Lao He, who was walking in front in a hurry.
Hearing Yang Xin's voice, Lao He stopped and looked back at the people behind him.
At the moment when Lao He turned around, Yang Xin was surprised to see that under the weak light, a face emerged from the darkness, and in the fire that was stirred, that face quietly grinned.
He seemed to be laughing.
Immediately after that, the face disappeared again.
Yang Xin was suspicious that he was dazzled, and hurriedly asked the people around him for verification, but before he could speak, he had already got the answer from the surprised expressions of others.
It's a human face, indeed.
Something is hidden in the dark.
Yang Xin hurriedly wanted to tell Lao He to be careful, but before he could speak, he saw that the torch in Lao He's hand suddenly went out, and the front became pitch black.
Then I heard a muffled sound.
Something went wrong.
Yang Xin and the others held torches all the way and ran towards the place where Lao He was before.
Lao He had already fallen to the ground, Yang Xin reached out to help, but touched the blood in his hand.
Lao He died.
His trachea was cut open by a sharp object, and blood gushed out in large quantities.
For a while, everyone was a little confused.
"Everyone's together!" Yang Xin shouted loudly.
The incident happened too suddenly, and Zhang Bao'er, who was left behind, had not yet figured out the situation, and when he heard Yang Xin's instructions, he helped Xu Zuo to quickly run along the place where the sound came from.
Yang Xin's other two subordinates were also stunned by this sudden accident, but fortunately, Yang Xin's calm instructions quickly gathered together, so as not to be taken advantage of by the other party again.
Several men leaned closely, the sound of heavy gasps irritating everyone, and they held their torches as far forward as possible, cautiously guarding against a possible sudden attack.
No one knows, who did the old man just now, whether it was a person or something else?
Zhang Bao'er looked at the eyes carefully, and he could clearly feel the trembling of Xu Zuo's body.
There was no doubt that he was afraid.
In the face of such an unknown threat, no one does not feel trepidation.
At this time, the five people stared ahead separately like this, temporarily building a relatively stable defensive formation.
They waited with bated breath.
The shadow did not continue to attack, as if it had disappeared again.
The entire cave was terrifyingly quiet, all subtle sounds were infinitely amplified, and even the sound of a heartbeat turned into a rumbling roar at the moment, constantly hitting the sensitive eardrums.
In the darkness, there seemed to be a sound of wind running through the cave, and it seemed like something was tiptoeing around, planning a strange conspiracy.
Time passed slowly, and none of the five dared to move, and they began to gradually get used to the silence, and gradually discerned that it was the slight sound of footsteps coming from the darkness.
The sound came from somewhere, and it was transmitted in the oppressive air in a very small way, but because the cavern was too empty, the sound diffused in the vast space, and it was impossible to discern the direction clearly.
The more slight and small the voice, the deeper it stimulates the will of the person, and the other party does not seem to be in a hurry to appear, but slowly wanders around several people. Only those with ill intentions would deliberately create such tension.
The previous blow must have boosted his confidence.
He's brewing another raid.
"County Lieutenant Yang, do you think it's a human or a ghost?" Zhang Baoer asked Yang Xin next to him in an almost whispered voice.
"I don't know," Yang Xin also replied in a slight voice.
"So how many do you think there are?"
Yang Xin affirmed: "It can't be too much, otherwise it would have been done a long time ago, and it wouldn't have slowly consumed our will and spirit here." ”
The other party's hesitant behavior seemed to confirm Yang Xin's judgment, or perhaps he liked to play cat and mouse games.
"County Lieutenant Yang, now we are in the light, and the other party is in the dark." Zhang Bao'er looked at the weak torch and said very worriedly: "The other party is familiar with the terrain and seems to be very adapted to the dark, if the torch is burned out in a while, we will be even more troublesome." ”
The coarse strips of cloth wrapped around the torches were almost burned out, and if they lost this only light, the five of them would be completely blind and at the mercy of each other.
We must not sit idly by, and we must find a way to break this situation.
Zhang Bao'er fell silent and quickly turned her mind.
The slight noise was still disturbing them, and the man seemed to be just a stone's throw away, carefully avoiding the light of the torches, walking on the edge of the limit of the light source, accurately grasping the scale that ordinary people could not distinguish.
Dangerous, but also full of lethality, this is a very formidable opponent.
In addition to Xu Zuo, the spirits of Yang Xin's other two subordinates seemed to have reached the limit, and their bodies trembled even more violently, even shaking with the firelight, this kind of mental torture is not something that anyone can bear.
The other party should have also felt the panic of the prey, and there was probably a sense of happiness that the plan had succeeded, and the sound of walking around became more wanton.
Clearly, he enjoyed the living horror he had made.
The sound of movement became faster and clearer.
Zhang Baoer was almost certain that the other party was not far from them.
It seems that there is only an all-or-nothing bet.
