readx(); In the early morning, the sun climbed the back of the mountain, and his eyes slid down the hillside, and when he just found the small river in the mountain stream, Qian Xiuye and his party were already standing by the river.

In addition to Qian Xiuye, Fan Meng, Mo Duqiao, Yuan Zhenba and Tarsiers, there are also 8 Tarsiers' most loyal subordinates.

"Master, it's time for us to go in, right?" Fan Meng was a little impatient, as if they were only one step away from Qimen.

Qian Xiuye raised his head and motioned for Fan Meng to look upstream of the river.

Fan Meng turned his head to look at it, and found that there was a touch of red flowing down the river, and then the red became wider and thicker, and in less than two minutes, the entire river was basically dyed red.

The river flowed out of the stalactite cave, and everyone knew that the red was blood, and it was obvious that there was a fight in the cave, which was also something Qian Xiuye expected.

Everyone's eyes were on the small river that was dyed red, but only Yuan Zhenba felt that something was pricked in his heart, such a large amount of blood showed that the fighting in the cave was very cruel, and at least five or six people died.

At this moment, a man covered in wounds and blood rushed out from the depths of the mountain stream, and as soon as he appeared in the field of vision of Qian Xiuye and others, his feet slipped and fell directly into the river.

After seeing Qian Xiuye and the others, the man subconsciously shouted: "Help! Help me! ”

Qian Xiuye and the others just watched coldly, without any movement, and then another man with a mountain knife ran out from behind, and ran towards the man in front of him with a knife.

The injured man glanced back, showed a frightened look, and rushed straight towards Qian Xiuye, when he tried to catch Qian Xiuye, he was kicked away by Fan Meng, and the injured man fell to the ground, while passing through the crowd, he begged them: "Please, save me, please, please ......"

The man eventually ran up to the tarsiers, hugged his thighs, and looked back at the red-eyed man who was wielding a machete, crying and pleading.

When the injured man's hand hugged the tarsier and kept shaking his thigh, his left hand touched something on the tarsier's waist, he turned his head to look at it, and found that it was a pistol, and then raised his eyes to find that the tarsier was looking at him coldly.

The injured man realized something, let go of the tarsiers, and ran towards the back of the crowd, at the same time, the man wielding the machete also rushed towards the crowd, and Qian Xiuye and Fan Meng, who were standing in front, subconsciously got out of the way and let the man chase after him.

As the man passed through the two of them, he threw his knife out and slashed directly at the injured man's shoulder, waiting for him to fall, then he held his knees and gasped, completely ignoring the presence of others around him.

Yuan Zhenba frowned, moved to the side, and watched the injured man struggle to get up, struggling to leave, but was kicked over by the man who caught up.

Then, the man held the handle of the Kaishan knife that was still on the shoulder of the injured man, pulled it out with all his might, and waved the machete frantically in the injured man's begging for mercy.

Qian Xiuye and the others just stood there quietly and watched, watching the madman smash the injured man's chest with a machete.

The most outrageous thing is that the tarsier actually raised his hand, pulled back his sleeves, and stared at the watch to keep time.

The man finally stopped, and smiled contentedly, taking off his clothes and wiping the blood from his face.

"Five and a half minutes." The tarsiers put down his hand, "The physical strength is very good, normal people don't say five minutes of continuous swinging of the knife, it is difficult for a minute." ”

"Let's go." Qian Xiuye said lightly, and then walked straight to the front, and the others also slowly turned around and followed Qian Xiuye in the direction of the stalactite cave, leaving only the murderer and the slashed corpse.

The murderer kept wiping the blood, washing it with river water, and suddenly realized something, he woke up, looked up at the back of Qian Xiuye and others, and hurriedly grabbed the mountain knife next to him, and as soon as he grabbed the handle of the knife, he was stepped on by a person.

The murderer raised his head and looked at Mu Tianjian, as well as He Chenxue and Fan Junyi in the rear, and in order to wait for him to make his next move, Mu Tianjian quickly twisted his neck.

By the river, there was another corpse.

"Wait, don't rush in." He Chenxue stood aside and looked at the two corpses, "There are too many people around Qian Xiuye, and Qimen is not so easy to break into, wait for them to lose some manpower." ”

Fan Jun asked: "Shougong, do we really want to go in?" ”

He Chenxue said lightly: "I don't want to go in either, but if I don't go in, there is no way to kill Fan Meng with my own hands, because there is a great possibility that Fan Meng will die inside, in that case, my efforts will be in vain." ”

As soon as He Chenxue finished speaking, Mu Tianjian turned around suddenly, raised the gun in his hand, and aimed at Xu You and Yang Zhengxia, who were holding their hands high and walking out from behind the rocks on one side.

Xu You looked at He Chenxue with a smile on his face: "Hello, Miss He, let's meet again, you still look as beautiful as before." ”

He Chenxue stood there, but looked at Yang Zhengxia: "Who is this?" ”

"My mentor is also my personal doctor." Xu You grinned, "You know, I'm sick, and it's serious. Xu You said, pointing to his head.

Fan Jun looked at this strange man, and then looked at Yang Zhengxia beside Xu You, Yang Zhengxia's face was calm, and he looked a little worried.

He Chenxue asked, "Why are you here too?" Are you looking for Qimen too? ”

Xu You shook his head quickly: "No, no, Miss He, you misunderstood, I have no interest in Qimen at all, I am interested in what happened in the process of finding Qimen, such as intrigue and mutual calculation......"

Speaking of this, Xu You paused, his face was serious: "And killing." ”

After Xu You finished speaking seriously, he smiled again: "Just kidding, don't be nervous, don't be nervous, you don't have to die, I'm completely here for adventure travel, I like to take risks very much, you know." ”

Fan Jun looked at He Chenxue worriedly, Mu Tianjian approached He Chenxue, and said in a low voice: "Drive them away, or do it?" ”

He Chenxue suddenly smiled: "Xu You, why don't we have a partner." ”

He Chenxue's words shocked Fan Junyi and Mu Tianjian, and they didn't know what she wanted to do.

Xu Youdaxi: "Really? Miss He, thank you so much, you see, can we put our hands down? ”

He Chenxue motioned for Mu Tianjian to put down the gun, and then walked in the direction of the stalactite cave, but at this time, Xu You said behind him: "Miss He, if you don't dislike it, I'll help you kill a few people this time, right?" ”

Xu You's words made Mu Tianjian and Fan Junyi stunned again, and Fan Jun felt a chill down his spine when he heard it, and looked back at Xu You.

He Chenxue didn't turn around, and after stopping, she continued walking: "Then it's hard for you." ”

Xu You grinned, revealing a mouth full of white teeth.

On the cliff, Chen Taidong, who was dressed in a strong suit, stood there, looked down, then sighed and turned to leave.

At the shallow hole in the stalactite cave, Qian Xiuye raised his feet and walked over from a corpse, and the people around him also followed his pace, and the tarsier counted around there, and after counting, he said to the front: "Boss, plus the two who died outside, there are two less, it seems that they are inside." ”

Qian Xiuye let out an "um" and continued walking.

Yuan Zhenba looked at the corpses around him, and the massacre process that happened here a few hours ago already appeared in his mind, and he didn't need to analyze it at all, he knew that this massacre must have happened after entering the cave, and everyone discussed resting in the morning and then going deeper, and everyone thought that after the others were tired and fell asleep, it was the best time to do it themselves, so a chaotic killing began.

Yuan Zhenba frowned and looked at those corpses, completely unable to imagine how people's ** could be so terrifying? Just for the sake of something unknown and uncertain, he can turn himself into a bloodthirsty demon, which is completely different from the kind of killing he saw when he was a military doctor.

Qian Xiuye walked into the depths of the stalactite cave, suddenly stopped, turned to look at the road he came, waved his hand and called Yuan Zhenba to step forward, and asked, "Zhenba, what do you think should be the way to go?" ”

Yuan Zhenba looked at the cave where there seemed to be a road and was extremely wide, but there was a hidden killing machine, and said: "Look where the wind blows, look in the direction where the wind blows, and you will definitely be able to find it." ”

Qian Xiuye asked the tarsiers again: "Monkey, can the radio be unblocked here?" ”

"Yes, but I don't know what will happen if we go inside." The tarsier looked at the walkie-talkie in his hand.

Qian Xiuye nodded and looked ahead: "Leave two of your people behind, and the rest of them will explore the way in front in a fan shape." ”

The tarsier hesitated, but immediately did as Qian Xiuye instructed, found two of his subordinates to stay in place, and let the remaining six people explore the way in front.

When Qian Xiuye and the others continued to move forward, the tarsiers came to the two people left behind and commanded in a low voice: "Set up one or two tricks and thunder, wait thirty minutes, and you will quietly follow, do you understand what I mean?" ”

The two men looked at each other, then nodded, and the tarsier admonished, "Remember, no one should trust anyone but our own brothers, especially the boss." ”

One of his subordinates lowered his voice and said, "Boss, I understand. ”

The tarsiers patted the two of them on the shoulder, turned around to catch up with Qian Xiuye and the others, and looked back from time to time, worrying about whether the retreat plan he left behind would work.

"Boss! Discover one! After walking forward for another twenty minutes, a mercenary spotted a dead explorer on a stalactite that looked like a mushroom.

"Fan Meng, go up and have a look." Qian Xiuye was very cautious, stopped and stopped stepping forward, and the tarsier turned on and off the flashlight in his hand at the same time, and signaled his subordinates to pay attention to vigilance with a light.

After carefully examining the body, Fan Meng turned his head and said, "No obvious injuries were found, and the cause of death is unknown." ”

Qian Xiuye asked Mo Duqiao to check it again, and the conclusion was the same, and in the end, Qian Xiuye had to look at Yuan Zhenba.

Yuan Zhenba understood, cautiously stepped forward, took off the outer gloves, put on the plastic gloves inside, and began to slowly take off the clothes of the corpse, and then checked the clothes first, and then said: "There are only blood stains on the clothes, as well as some scratches, it seems that they are left by fighting with people before, but looking at the surface of the body, there are only bruises and abrasions, no puncture wounds, and the fatal cause may be hidden in the hair that is easy to ignore." ”

Yuan Zhenba wore a mask and examined the lower body of the corpse, and then began to touch the deceased's hair again, and after searching around, he looked at Qian Xiuye and shook his head: "Maybe there is a heart attack or other diseases." ”

As soon as he said this, the corpse's eyes suddenly blinked rapidly, and although no one around him saw it, Mo Duqiao could see it clearly, and he leaned in to look at it, and made sure that he was not dazzled.

"What's wrong with you?" Yuan Zhenba asked.

Mo Duqiao looked up at him, "I saw the corpse's eyes blink, I'm sure I'm not dazzled." ”

Yuan Zhenba was stunned, broke the eyelids of the corpse, and carefully shone it with a flashlight, and found that there was something swimming in the deceased's eyes, and the thing was obviously afraid of bright light, and the moment the light shone in, the thing immediately dodged and swam towards the other side of the eyeball.

Yuan Zhenba remembered something, and immediately touched it up and down, touched the raw lime, poured it into his eyes, and then poured water on the lime powder, and the quicklime immediately boiled when it met the water, and the eyes of the deceased immediately emitted two puffs of white smoke, and at the same time, the corpse began to tremble.

The crowd around the corpse immediately dispersed, and the mercenaries also pointed their guns at the corpse.

Fan Meng stood on the side, stared, and asked, "What's going on?" ”

"Night Silkworm!" Qian Xiuye took a step back, and looked around at the same time, "Turn on all the light sources that can be turned on, hurry up!" ”

Everyone turned on their headlights, shoulder lights, chest lights, and the emergency lights on their waists, looking around vigilantly.

At this time, the trembling corpse of the corpse stopped, and then they saw that black reticulations appeared on the corpse's face, and the reticulation extended towards its neck, and Yuan Zhenba immediately sprinkled the remaining quicklime powder on his face, neck and chest, and poured water on it.

This trick seemed to work, the black reticulation no longer extended, but the neck of the corpse began to decay rapidly, and finally the whole head broke away from the neck, rolled directly to the ground, and after rolling for a while, it hit a stone and stopped, and two eyeballs also fell out of it, the scene was very terrifying.

Yuan Zhenba leaned on the side and gasped, changed his position again, and after moving away from the corpse, he pulled down his mask and breathed: "There are fucking night silkworms here!" ”

"What is a night silkworm?" Standing on a rock, the condescending tarsiers asked, "Sounds like a bug?" ”

Qian Xiuye frowned and said: "It is a kind of bug, a kind of annelid, like an earthworm or something, but it is smaller than an earthworm, and it was first discovered from a rare bat, but there are no specimens, and there are not too many people to witness it, many people think that it does not exist at all." ”

Fan Meng asked, "Who found that?" ”

"An Englishman." Qian Xiuye looked at the corpse with palpitations, "In the early years of the Republic of China, the Englishman came to China to look for rare animals, and was attacked by bats in an ice cave in the Qinghai area, one of his assistants died, and his operation was also suspended, but he took the corpse out of the hole, and originally wanted to be buried or cremated, who knew that there was a crack in the head of the corpse at night, as if it had been cut by something, and then he witnessed the insect crawling out of the crack, but because of the strong light, the insect immediately curled up into a ball, began to spit out something like silk to wrap itself around, avoiding the glare. ”

The Englishman thought it might be a silkworm at first, but after asking the local people, he found that no one knew what it was, and he also checked a lot of information, and found that there was no record of that thing, so he named it the night silkworm because of the characteristics of the worm.

Qian Xiuye looked at the eyeballs on the ground again: "That's what it is like to be a cargo chaser, you have to keep collecting information, and you have to look at any strange and unverified information, because you don't know when you will encounter some unconfirmed, but actually existent creatures." ”

Yuan Zhenba wiped his sweat, he was afraid, he was really afraid, this was not the first time he had seen this kind of thing, but he couldn't say it, he couldn't tell his experience, because he had a terrible idea in his head, that is, he hoped to use the night silkworm to completely stop Qian Xiuye's advance.

It's not that Yuan Zhenba doesn't want to know what's in Qimen, but that he is walking with Qian Xiuye at this time, which is equivalent to walking with a group of demons, maybe in the next second, the demons will tear him to pieces.

"Zhenba, have you seen a night silkworm before?" Qian Xiuye finally asked.

Yuan Zhenba shook his head: "No, I just heard about it, and I happened to read it in a book in the British Museum." ”

"Really?" Qian Xiuye's tone was suspicious, "Do you know how to deal with it?" ”

Yuan Zhenba raised his eyes and looked at Qian Xiuye: "Avoid bats, don't be bitten by that bat, bats are afraid of light, we just need to keep the lights on, just do it, this kind of bat will not attack humans normally, unless their nest is attacked, so everyone should be careful with the top of their heads, and they should also be careful with the weapons in their hands." ”

The tarsier asked, "It's that simple?" ”

Yuan Zhenba smiled bitterly: "That's what I read in the book, I don't know about other methods." ”

Qian Xiuye got up and looked around: "Everyone heard, keep moving forward and pay attention to your own safety!" ”

The team moved forward again, and for safety, the tarsiers threw a white phosphorus bomb at the corpse, which in his words was to disinfect the corpse.

In the shallow hole, Mu Tianjian restrained one of the mercenaries, pressed his head against the body of the other mercenary, and asked in a deep voice: "If you don't answer my question again, you will be the same as him." ”

The restrained mercenary was sweating profusely, he and his companions didn't expect that Mu Tianjian would touch them from the darkness like a ghost, and be subdued before they could place the thunder, and Mu Tianjian directly pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into the back of one of them's head, and then pulled out his gun to restrain the remaining mercenary.

He Chenxue squatted down and asked, "How many people do you have, what equipment do you bring, and how many weapons do you have?" ”

The mercenary closed his eyes: "Even if I say it, you will kill me." ”

"You're so smart!" Xu You stepped forward and said, motioning to He Chenxue with his eyes to let him try, and when He Chenxue got up and walked away, Xu You held the mercenary's face, "You said, you will indeed die, die quickly, and you will not be tortured, but if you don't say it, I will not only torture you, but also torture you to beg me to kill you." ”

After speaking, Xu You put his forehead close to the mercenary's forehead, closed his eyes and said, "Even if you help yourself, let's talk, okay?" ”

Mu Tianjian frowned and looked at Xu You, who was chattering, Fan Junyi also swallowed his saliva, all of Xu You's behaviors and behaviors made the two of them uncomfortable, disgusting and infiltrating.

Yang Zhengxia stood next to him, observing a stalagmite, carefully touching it with his hand from top to bottom, seemingly completely unconcerned about what was happening next to him.
