Chapter 20: Monsters

In the passage cave at the foot of the Four Seasons Mountain, Tang Qianrou's anxiety turned into anger, and then from anger to complete hysteria, she rushed out of the cave alone with her equipment on her back, found a place at the foot of the snowy mountain, and was about to climb up with an ice axe.

Ah Le, who had been following him, didn't stop it, just hid behind the rock on one side and watched her climb up, watching her climb five meters and then six meters down, half an hour passed, and Tang Sirong climbed up only ten meters away.

"Are you calm?" Ah Le raised his eyes and looked at Tang Qianrou, "The wind here is so strong, hasn't it woken you up yet?" Save it, if we don't turn around and go back, we all have to die here, the only thing you need to think about is, how do you want to die? Will you be beaten to death by those three mercenaries, or will you starve to death and freeze to death! ”

Tang Qianrou climbed on top of the cliff, waited for a long time before sliding down, leaned to the side, and looked at Ah Le coldly.

Ah Le stepped forward and said: "All the preparations you have made have disappeared at the moment when the snowstorm hit, if you really want to go into the Four Seasons Mountain to find Qimen, you should follow me back, regain your strength, prepare again, and start over." ”

Tang Qianrou, who had calmed down, shook her head and said, "There is only one way for us to go back." ”

Ah Le was puzzled: "Why?" ”

Tang Qianrou frowned and said: "The big boss has cut off all the funds in the country, and the police have already found the door, if I make money according to my father's practice before, the best result is to sit through the prison, and the worst result is to eat guns on the execution ground, unless we find Qimen, we can make a comeback." ”

"It turns out that you really came here without the big boss this time." Ah Le said bitterly, "But you have such a big action, it is impossible for the big boss not to know, do you know who the big boss is?" ”

Tang Qianrou smiled bitterly: "The only one who knows who the big boss is, there is only one person, and that is my dad, you have already killed him." ”

Ah Le didn't believe it: "Doesn't your mother know? No way. ”

"What kind of person she is, you should know better than me!" Tang Qianrou was a little excited, "Even if she knew, she wouldn't say it." ”

Ah Le subconsciously glanced at the direction of the passage, lowered his voice and asked, "Is your mother a big boss?" ”

Tang Qianrou also glanced over there and hesitated for a while: "When my dad was alive, he once said to me that my mom is not a good person, of course, my dad is not a good thing, if it weren't for them, I'm afraid I'm just an ordinary office worker now, working from 9 to 5 every day, living a contented life, and there is no need to take risks at all." ”

After Tang Qianrou finished speaking, Ah Le grabbed her hand: "Then you come with me, I'll take you back to Paris, we will run a restaurant together, and live the rest of our lives in peace." ”

Tang Qianrou looked at Ah Le's eyes and shook her head: "Ah Le, I have no way to stop it, I have harmed a lot of people, I have so many people's blood on my hands, and I know so many secrets of the company, even if the big boss is willing to let me go, my mother will not let me go, you should know the horror of the company, you can live, it is completely a special case, for so many years, you are the only one who has entered the company and walked out safely, but the reason why you are still alive is because the big boss treats you as a chess piece." ”

Of course, Ah Le knew that the reason why the big boss let him live was that he was clear about the relationship between him and Tang Qianrou, the grievances between him and Wan Qingquan, and the purpose of Wan Qingquan to harm him and let him go, so he used all this to give Ah Le the opportunity to blend in with this team and stir up the situation.

"Just imagine, if my dad hadn't died, and you hadn't killed those mercenaries, would the situation be better than now?" Tang Qianrou looked at the silent Ah Le and asked, "If that series of things hadn't happened, my mother probably wouldn't have pushed the reed flute down, the purpose of what she did was to deter the mercenaries, and secondly, to make them unable to directly find you trouble, because my relationship with you, finding trouble with you is also tantamount to finding trouble with me." ”

Ah Le nodded: "After I did everything, I realized that I was too impulsive." ”

Tang Qian said softly: "You are not impulsive, but you have too deep a grudge, it is me, and I will also be used, after all, the great opportunity for revenge is there, and no one can help but do it." ”

Ah Le asked: "Now we have no way to go back, and we can't escape, so what should we do?" Waiting to die? ”

Tang Qianrou shook her head: "I don't know ...... either"

As soon as Tang Qianrou finished speaking, she was shocked, subconsciously raised her hand to touch the back of her neck, and then pulled out a small dart, when she pulled out the dart, her eyes rolled and she fell directly to the ground.

Ah Le immediately pulled out his gun, hugged Tang Qianrou and hid back in the rock next to him, while being vigilant, he looked at the dart, he knew that mercenaries didn't use this kind of thing, so who could it be?

In the cave in the distance, Tang Sirong, Gulal, Victor and Haisen had all fallen to the ground, and on the ground in front of them were several smoking medicine balls, and the four holes of the medicine balls still emitted smoke that could make people faint in just a few seconds.

Ah Le, who was hiding behind the rock, couldn't hear anything except the sound of the wind, and he also knew that he couldn't resist for long, although the rock was close to the cliff, and the enemy couldn't go around his rear, but at this temperature, even if he could hold on, Tang Qianrou in his arms would die of hypothermia for a while.

After thinking about it, Ah Le had to untie his assault rifle and throw it out, and then threw out assault weapons such as pistols and daggers, and then said: "I surrender, everyone has something to discuss, and I don't know where you are from." ”

Ah Le walked out slowly with Tang Qianrou in his arms, but didn't see anyone appear.

Could it be that these people are gone? Oops! There must have been an attack on the other side of the cave, Ah Le thought of this, and when he was about to lean over and take his weapon and hold Tang Qianrou to leave, he saw a pair of short and strange feet landing on the rock behind him.

Ah Le was stunned for a moment, his body froze, and then he slowly looked up, and the moment he saw it clearly, a thought flashed in Ah Le's mind - monsters!

……

When they left the wolf colony, it was close to noon, and the torture and others first said goodbye to Di Lie and Gu Lie, who went back to their lives, and then returned to the lake to find the horse and headed in the direction of the Four Seasons Mountain.

"You're still waiting for the soul brand?" The Ink Twilight Bridge on one side loaded the spare magazine, "Is it coming or not coming?" ”

The others also looked at Torre, because when they left in the morning, the soul brand did not appear, and they did not know where they went, and Torret did not say why.

After a long time, Torrei came back sideways, shook his head and said, "I don't know, it didn't say anything." ”

"Wow-" Maffy wondered, "can you really communicate with it?" It's amazing, you can understand the wolf. ”

Torrei said lightly: "Soul Brand is my brother, and the brothers have a common heart, and they don't need words to communicate. ”

Angu asked, "Is it coming or not?" If we were not accompanied by a wolf herd, we would have doubled the difficulty when we entered the Four Seasons Mountain. ”

Ma Fei said: "I really don't understand, why do you have to find a wolf herd?" Before, I said that I was looking for the wolf herd because of the Golden Eagle Tribe, because the wolf herd was the natural enemy of the Golden Eagle, but now the Golden Eagle Tribe basically has no threat to us, and the entire tribe has been ......"

Speaking of this, Ma Fei saw that Angu's face was a little ugly, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry." ”

Angu didn't speak, and Ma Fei said again: "So, it doesn't seem to make a difference whether or not there is a wolf herd to accompany you now." ”

Before Torree didn't speak, Angu spoke first: "There is a difference, the wolf herd knows the way, can accurately find the most convenient way up the mountain, and is cold-resistant, does not need to be taken care of at all, even eating and drinking can be solved by itself, and even can help us hunt, the tradition of raising wolf herding and golden eagles has existed before the mountain rider came to this grassland, but the wolf herds and golden eagles raised here are more loyal and fierce." ”

Even Jiuqi asked coldly: "Can the wolf herd also deal with the remnants of the Bohai Sea?" That is, those mountain demons? ”

"Of course." Angu nodded and said, "Master said, although the wolf herd will not fly like a golden eagle, but the wolf herd is also very flexible on the snow, no matter how flexible the golden eagle is, it is always a bird, and the body is still very weak, flying in the air, if you are not careful, you will be shot down by a bow and arrow, once you hit the trap, it is basically over, but the wolf herd is different, the wolf herd's ability to find the trap is stronger than the golden eagle, the golden eagle mainly relies on the eyes, and the wolf herd relies on the eyes, nose, ears and incredible perception ability. ”

Torture said: "So, if we bring the soul brand, it will really get twice the result with half the effort, but will the soul brand come in the end?" ”

Torrey still did not speak, but still turned back three times at a time, and in this way, until evening, when there was still a kilometer from the foot of the mountain, the group decided to camp and rest, and go directly to the mountain early tomorrow morning.

All night, Torret sat outside the camp with his knife in his hand, looking in the direction he came, waiting for the figure of the soul to appear. In fact, he didn't say to Soul Brand that he needed his help at all, but just told Soul Brand that he already knew the truth about what happened back then, and told Soul Brand that he missed his brother all these years, because he couldn't open his mouth, and after so many years, Soul Brand still remembered him, proving that he was also affectionate and righteous, maybe Soul Brand had always been in his territory, waiting for Torree to come to him.

In the early morning, when the sun rose, the soul brand still did not appear, and everyone packed up their things and continued to move towards the foot of the mountain, and the torture and even the nine chess had been comforting Torrei along the way.

After coming to the foot of the mountain, everyone took off their equipment from their horses, carried their own horses, and was about to go up the mountain, but Lian Jiuqi stopped Torlie: "You should go back, the next thing has nothing to do with you, you don't need to follow us to adventure." ”

Torreen wanted to argue about something, and Lian Jiuqi said: "Go to the United States, get together with your wife and son, and reunite as a family, you no longer belong to the steppe, Ural Khan is just a memory for you in the future, let's go, I will go to the United States to find you when I have the opportunity, and we will not get drunk and return when the time comes." ”

"But......" Torrei was still about to say something, but he raised his eyes to look at the hillside in the distance, and a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he slipped past Lian Jiuqi and Torture Arts, and shouted over there, "Soul Branding-"

As soon as Torrei shouted, everyone turned around, and at the same time raised their hands to block the dazzling sunlight, and when they looked closely, they found that the soul brand appeared on the snow on the hillside at some point, and it was accompanied by the two white wolf herders who looked roughly like him.

Xingshu and Lian Jiuqi glanced at each other, and Ma Fei stepped forward and said, "It's really a brother, you arrived before us." ”

Angu said in the back: "It's okay now, the three wolf herds can save us a lot of time to find the way up the mountain." ”

"Don't worry." "We'll have to look at the diary of the reed flute to figure out where Gromov got in back then, and with the help of the wolf herd, I guess I'll be there soon." ”

Xingshu nodded: "I hope that even if Tang Qianrou is not quick to take a step towards them, at least they have to catch up with their progress." ”

……

When the sound of water came to Ah Le's ears, he thought he was dreaming, dreaming that he and Tang Qianrou were sitting by the Seine River in Paris, eating snacks made by Tang Qianrou herself, watching the cruise ships on the river, and listening to the sound of guitars on the riverbank.

"Ah Le, wake up!" Tang Qianrou in the dream suddenly turned around and shouted at Ah Le, Ah Le was stunned for a moment, and then opened her eyes suddenly, only then did she see Tang Qianrou with an anxious face in front of her.

The moment Ah Le got up, he found that his hands and feet were tied, and when he looked down, he found that Tang Qianrou was also tied, while Tang Sirong, Gulal, Victor and Haisen were nowhere to be found.

"What about the others?" Ah Le asked, trying to move towards his backpack, "How are your mothers?" ”

Tang Qianrou looked at the cave she was in: "I don't know, I didn't see them when I woke up, don't look for them, there is nothing in the bag, the weapons have been taken away, and all that is left is some dry food and drinking water, not even flashlights and incendiary sticks." ”

Ah Le looked at the unfrozen river: "It's strange, there is a river here, do you know where we are?" ”

Tang Qianrou shook her head: "I don't know, but judging from the environment and humidity, we should not be underground, it should be somewhere in the mountains, you touch the cave wall." ”

Ah Le pressed his face against the wall of the cave and immediately took it away: "It's so cold, it's the same as ice." ”

"That's right." Tang Qianrou looked at the cave wall and said, "If we were underground, the cave wall would definitely not be at this temperature, and the water temperature of the underground river was quite high, at least close to about twenty degrees." ”

Ah Le moved his body to the river, smelled the river water, took another sip, and spit it out: "It's warm water, but it's not a hot spring, what's going on, what the hell is this place, who attacked us?" ”

Tang Qianrou shook her head: "I don't know, anyway, let's untie the rope first." ”

Ah Le remembered something: "I remembered, before I fainted, I saw a monster." ”

Tang Qianrou, who was trying to grind the rope on the stone next to her, was stunned: "Monster? Are you dazzled? ”

"I don't know how to describe the man's appearance except for the youkai." Ah Le shook his head and recalled seriously, "The height is only about one meter three, very thin, with a layer of white hair on the body surface, only a little hair, deep eye sockets, fangs in the mouth, and very long arms, just like an ape, in short, not like a human." ”

Tang Qianrou continued to grind the rope: "No matter what it is, we must first figure out where we are, and find my mother and them." ”

Ah Le nodded, grinding the rope with Tang Qianrou, and it took a long time to untie the rope on his wrist, and then knocked down a stone to slowly cut the rope on his ankle, after all of them were untied, Ah Le took the broken rope and looked at it carefully: "This kind of rope is rubbed together with rattan and soaked in oil." ”

Tang Qianrou looked closer: "So, it must be a person who caught us, not a monster." ”

"Who could it be?" When Ah Le said this, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the unfrozen river next to him, and after the black shadow jumped out of the water, he waved an object in his hand and smashed it directly towards Ah Le.

Ah Le raised his arm to block it, kicked it out, and kicked the thing directly into the water, and after the thing fell into the water, it caused a splash and then disappeared.

"What was that!?" Tang Qianrou looked around, nervous, "What the hell is it!?" ”

Ah Le shook his head: "I don't know, judging from the feeling of my kick just now, it is wet, it should look like a human." ”

Tang Qianrou leaned close to Ah Le: "Could it be those people who arrested us?" Is that the kind of youkai you're talking about? ”

Ah Le thought for a while and said, "Probably not, since those monsters have already thrown us here, there is no need to ambush us in the water so much, right?" Also, those youkai have a lot of heavy white hair, and when I kicked them out before, I felt that the thing was slippery and hairless, so it shouldn't be that kind of monster. ”

Tang Qianrou was a little scared: "What could that be?" ”

Ah Le helped Tang Qianrou to retreat, retreated to the cave wall, looked around, pointed to the left side and said: "We go upstream, close to the cave wall, if that thing is in the water, we go upstream, it will be very difficult for it to follow us underwater, even if it wants to attack us, the current will block its explosive power to jump out of the water, which is beneficial to us." ”

Tang Qianrou nodded, and while walking, she paid attention to the water surface next to her, for fear that the things in the water before would jump out again.

After walking forward for a hundred meters, the two found that the sound of water in front of them became louder, because it was too dark, they couldn't see what was in front of them, Ah Le had to let Tang Qianrou follow behind him, and he slowly moved forward step by step, and after walking for more than ten meters, Ah Le suddenly stopped, lay on the ground, and stretched out his hand to probe forward.

"What is it?" Tang Qianrou asked in the back, "Is there no way?" ”

Ah Le said: "Yes, there is no road, the front is empty, listen to the sound of water, there seems to be a waterfall in front." ”

Tang Qianrou softened: "It's over, this road is not working, we have to go back backwards." ”

"That's not right!" Ah Le suddenly remembered something, "We are swimming against the current, this river should be flowing in the direction we came, why did it form a waterfall in front of us?" ”

Tang Qianrou heard Ah Le say this, and then she reacted: "Yes, why is this happening?" ”

Ah Le looked at the dark surroundings: "There should be a fork in the river here, that is to say, the river we are going up the river should be a branch of the main river, you follow me, I will look around." 2k reading network
