Chapter 17: One Thing Descends One Thing

Inkwilight wore a night vision device and took a closer look at the waterhole, then reached out and patted the mercenary, pointing to another location not far from the rock where he was. The mercenary immediately understood, crawled forward with his gun, groped his way to the other side, leaned against the corner of the rock, and guarded with his gun.

Yuan Zhenba squatted beside Mo Dui Bridge and said deliberately: "It seems that we have taken the lead. ”

Mo Duqiao took off the night vision device and handed it to Yuan Zhenba: "That's not necessarily, you can see for yourself." ”

Yuan Zhenba put on the night vision device, and after following the hand of the Modui Bridge, he saw clearly the fragmented bones scattered around the waterhole, although the bones were incomplete, but it could also be roughly judged that there were at least a dozen people who had died on the edge of this waterhole.

"It must be the craftsman who rebuilt the Qi Gate, right?" Yuan Zhenba looked at it for a while and said, "Otherwise, there can be no other explanation." ”

Mo Duqiao sat there silently, and Yuan Zhenba asked, "What should I do?" ”

Mo Duqiao said coldly: "Mr. Yuan, what do you think of Fan Meng?" ”

Yuan Zhenba said bluntly: "A hypocrite, and he is famous all over the world." ”

Mo Duqiao asked again, "Sooner or later, it will be a scourge for him to stay by Master's side, so it is better to kill him." ”

Yuan Zhenba looked at Mo Dui Bridge, the Mo Dusk Bridge in the night vision device was full of black and green, and it looked even more eerie, the most important thing is that Yuan Zhenba didn't know if Mo Duqiao was testing himself, or if he was telling the truth.

"He's your junior brother." After a long time, Yuan Zhenba said this, "Uncle Qian didn't speak, you acted without permission, and the consequences were unimaginable." ”

In this sentence, Yuan Zhenba didn't mention himself at all, and he also conveyed a message to Mo Duqiao that he wanted to do it to you, and it had nothing to do with me.

Mo Duqiao said coldly: "I can't do it alone, you have to help me." ”

Yuan Zhenba immediately said: "That's your business, it has nothing to do with me." ”

"If he doesn't die, sooner or later he will kill me and Master." Mo Duqiao raised his hand to take off Yuan Zhenba's night vision device, "When the time comes, you won't be able to run." ”

Yuan Zhenba sneered: "Mr. Mo, I feel why did you suddenly talk too much?" Is it because of the reason why the tarsiers died? He died, you took over his men, and now those mercenaries would rather believe in you than in Qian Xiuye, let alone in Fan Meng, who has already regarded Fan Meng as a mortal enemy. ”

Mo Duqiao said bluntly: "In fact, what they hate the most is Master, and they regard Fan Meng as a mortal enemy, completely because they are afraid of Master in their hearts, so they can only find him as a substitute." ”

Yuan Zhenba said again: "It's still the same sentence, you have to do it, you do it, it has nothing to do with me." ”

Yuan Zhenba's words were actually very clear, and he told Mo Duqiao very clearly: If you want to kill Fan Meng, you go, I won't help you, and I won't stop you, I will just watch from the sidelines.

Xingshu and other 8 people also rushed to the edge of the waterhole, and also found the bones all over there at the first time, although they didn't see Qian Xiuye, He Chenxue and others, but they also knew very well that in this situation, no one dared to act rashly.

Chen Fang pulled down the collar of his clothes: "My throat and eyes are smoking!" ”

Bai Zhongzheng raised his head and looked at the waterhole: "There will be water ten meters ahead, if you are thirsty, go and drink." ”

"I haven't lived enough." Chen Fang now has a problem with even secreting saliva in his mouth, so he took down his water bottle and handed it to him.

Chen Fang immediately refused, and said in a sentence: "You just take a sip, and a sip can also alleviate the relief." ”

Chen Fang had to take a sip, after all, if he didn't drink water, what happened to his body would drag everyone down.

The torture technique moved to Lian Jiuqi and Qi Guan, who were lying on the edge of the rock and observing the waterhole, and handed the kettle over, both of them shook their heads to indicate that they did not drink, and even Jiuqi shook his own kettle, indicating that there was still one inside.

Torture held up the night vision binoculars and watched: "It seems that the waterhole is in danger, and the bones are proof of it, but maybe it is left by those craftsmen in the past." ”

Lian Jiuqi agreed: "Yes, maybe the water is poisonous." ”

Qi Guan took the telescope of torture: "Even if the water is not poisonous, there may be some other creature in the water." ”

"But it's too hot here." Maffei was very uncomfortable, took a sip of water, shook the kettle, and judged that he could drink three or four sips at most.

Bai Zhongzheng took the binoculars and looked around: "The temperature here is too high, and the water can't be drunk, so we either want to move on, or take risks, choose one of the two, there is no third option." ”

Qi Guan thought about it, turned to Yan Gang and said, "Yan Gang, you find a safe place and shoot a flare, I want to take a closer look at the surrounding environment." ”

Yan Gang turned around and quickly ran into the rocks, and after getting a little away from the torture and the others, he took out his flare gun, loaded a flare, and launched it into the air, and then quickly fled the area.

As he had guessed, less than two seconds after the flare was fired, the sniper's bullets came from a high place, continuously attacking the location where Yan Gang was firing the flares now, and the direction that the sniper judged that he might flee.

Yan Gang lay in the aisle of the rocky group for a long time before he raised his head, he estimated that the sniper was at least more than four hundred meters away from him, and at this distance, the crossbow he brought was a joke.

The flares flew to the top of the cavern, and the parachute of the bomb unfolded and slowly fell from the sky.

The Modui Bridge, Yuan Zhenba, and the torture art on the other side of the waterhole all carefully observed the surrounding environment, and then found that three fiery red rats had come out of a cave under a certain rock, sniffing all the way, shuttling through the bones towards the edge of the waterhole.

"How can there be rats?" Maffei frowned, "And it's still fiery red?" ”

Chen Taidong stepped forward: "On this earth, the two creatures with the most tenacious vitality, one is cockroaches, and the other is mice. ”

Chen Fangdao: "Even if it is mutated, you have to drink water." ”

The three fiery rats cautiously came to the edge of the waterhole, and began to wander left and right, standing up and observing around, and then looking up at the flares that were slowly falling in the air.

Then, one of the fire rats continued to observe, and the remaining two lay on the edge of the pool to drink, and when they were full, the two were on alert, and the remaining fire rat began to lie down and drink.

Xingshu looked at it carefully: "If these rats are fine if they drink water, then we will definitely be fine if we drink them, and the rest of the trouble is how to drink water without being attacked by Qian Xiuye and them." ”

Lian Jiuqi shook his head: "It's unlikely, their equipment is much better than ours, they have night vision devices, we don't, just this point, we have suffered a big loss." ”

Qi Guan said disapprerovingly: "The night vision device has to use batteries, and there is a temperature limit, too cold is not good, too hot is not good, and besides, if we have one person, it takes up too much space in the backpack, plus spare batteries, other dry food and medicines and other things will not be able to bring much, I don't know how big it is here, how deep, our most important thing is survival." ”

As soon as Qi Guan finished speaking, the torture technique suddenly saw the three rats drinking by the waterhole, one by one, falling down, shaking with their feet facing the sky, and soon there was no movement.

Chen Taidong sighed: "It's miserable, it seems that the water is really poisonous." ”

Qi Guan was silent, turned around and glanced around at the people around him: "Don't worry, everyone, take this opportunity to take a break, then tidy up your equipment, see how much water is left, don't eat dry food for the time being, and maintain the water in your body." ”

Although everyone nodded, they were very uneasy in their hearts.

At this time, in the labyrinth of rocks, Mu Tianjian, He Chenxue and Fan Jun were hurrying towards the direction of the waterhole, because of the relationship between the torture and others before, they deviated slightly from the lower direction and made a big circle, if it wasn't for the flare that lifted into the air, I don't know how long they would have to go around.

Although Mu Tianjian and the others were advancing close to the rock wall, the snipers who ignored the commanding heights could easily see a corner of their figures under the light of the flares.

After the sniper found the figures of the three people shaking from the maze, he immediately took aim, and subconsciously pressed the walkie-talkie and said: "Boss, I found three more people, but I can't see who they are." ”

The sound of the walkie-talkie was transmitted into the headset of Qian Xiuye's walkie-talkie, and at the same time, it was also released from the walkie-talkie amplifier on Fan Meng's waist.

At the moment when Qian Xiuye pressed the call button on the earphone and Fan Meng also picked up the walkie-talkie, when he raised his eyes, he found Mu Tianjian, He Chenxue and Fan Junyi coming out from behind the rock on the right.

The mercenary immediately stepped forward and shot at Mu Tianjian and the others with a gun, Mu Tianjian fought back with a gun while pushing He Chenxue aside, but because of the suddenness of the incident, Mu Tianjian's shoulder was colored, and the mercenary was also shot in the shoulder, so he had to straddle the assault rifle and aim at Mu Tianjian's location, not daring to act rashly.

The sound of Mu Tianjian's pistol made everyone by the waterhole stunned, and Mo Duqiao immediately made a gesture towards the mercenary not far away, signaling him to stay, and he immediately drilled into the rocks with his gun.

Yuan Zhenba looked at the mercenary, and slowly turned to the other side of the waterhole, and then looked at the flare that was about to land, praying that he could find the location of the torture and the others, so that he could take this opportunity to escape.

On the opposite side, the torture technique hidden behind the rock, as soon as he turned around, he saw Yan Gang running back, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Who's shooting? ”

Yan Gang shook his head: "I don't know, I think, it should be Mu Tianjian, I can hear the gunshot, Qian Xiuye's weapons should be on the muffler." ”

The torture technique was silent and didn't speak again, but Ma Fei, who was not far away, looked at him, guessing the inner activity of the torture technique at this time, did he still care about He Chenxue?

In the maze of rocks, Qian Xiuye sat on a rock and turned his head to look in the direction of He Chenxue: "Miss He, you are not my opponent, it is a mistake for you to come here." ”

He Chenxue didn't say anything, just squeezed the gun in his hand, Mu Tianjian looked at her, and said in a low voice: "It seems that they are scattered, I saw clearly just now, there are only Qian Xiuye, Fan Meng and a mercenary, and the most troublesome thing now is the sniper on the top of his head who has been staring at us." ”

He Chenxue was in a daze, and Mu Tianjian whispered again: "Miss He? ”

He Chenxue came back to her senses: "What? ”

Mu Tianjian turned his head to see that he couldn't see it anymore, but it was still glowing, it should be the flare that was about to approach the ground: "After all the flares are darkened, you can shoot two shots over there, and I will find a way to deal with that mercenary, maybe, we can take revenge here!" ”

Fan Jun on the side knew what they were going to do, and he didn't know what to do, so he had to grab his pants anxiously, he didn't want to see his son killed.

Let's give it a go! No way! Take a gamble! Fan Junyi thought in his heart, and slowly touched the dagger on his waist.

At the moment when the light of the flare gradually weakened, He Chenxue fired two shots there according to Mu Tianjian's instructions, and the other mercenary immediately responded with two shots, Mu Tianjian immediately turned around and walked towards the rear, preparing to bypass from the other side.

At this moment, Fan Junyi pulled out his dagger and was about to attack He Chenxue, but saw He Chenxue actually raise his gun and aim at Mu Tianjian.

At this moment, Fan Jun was stupid, and he didn't know what the situation was in front of him?

It was also at the moment when He Chenxue opened the insurance that Mu Tianjian, who had walked a few steps, was suddenly stunned, frowned and turned around, looking at He Chenxue.

At the moment when Mu Tianjian saw He Chenxue clearly, the light of the flare disappeared completely, and the surroundings fell into darkness again.

"Bah" The gun in He Chenxue's hand fired, and the moment the flame of the muzzle illuminated the area in front of them, He Chenxue and Fan Jun clearly saw that Mu Tianjian was no longer in his original position, and the bullet only hit the rock wall, splashing a spark.

He Chenxue was anxious, and subconsciously turned on the flashlight to look for it, but the light of the flashlight immediately attracted the sniper's firepower, so she had to extinguish the flashlight and squatted down violently.

Fan Junyi also squatted down, although in the dark, neither of them could see each other's faces clearly, but they both knew that the other was looking at themselves.

On the other side of the rock, ten meters away, Mu Tianjian was squatting there in a daze, completely unable to believe that He Chenxue had shot at him, but he still subconsciously said "thank you" to Xu You, who had dragged him away before.

Yang Zhengxia on the opposite side said in a low voice: "I thought you were really a ruthless mercenary, but as a result, your brain is not very useful." ”

Mu Tianjian was not angry at Yang Zhengxia's words, he just nodded, and he asked, "Why?" Isn't Miss He going for revenge? ”

Xu You said with a smile: "You forgot the series of things that happened when you went to Jiacuo Palace?" Oh, yes, you are gone, and you must not be too clear about what happened later, at that time, I knew that He Chenxue would always remember Fan Meng in his heart, which is called one thing descending one thing. ”

Yang Zhengxia stretched out his hand towards Mu Tianjian: "Come with us, we will not betray you, because we have no so-called interest bundle, there is no conflict of interest." ”

Mu Tianjian asked, "I don't understand, why did you two come here?" You also want to find Qimen? Or do you have a grudge against Qian Xiuye? ”

Yang Zhengxia was silent, and Xu You explained: "First, I'm not interested in Qimen, even if I'm interested, I think in my heart that anything here shouldn't be discovered by people on the ground, history is history, don't dig it out; Second, I don't have any enmity with Qian Xiuye, on the contrary, I have some admiration for this cunning old man, and of course, I will not be with him, because I like to be the enemy of smart people. ”

"So?" Mu Tianjian turned his head to look at Xu You, who couldn't see clearly in the dark, "What do you want to do?" ”

Xu You said with a smile: "Play, we are here to travel, hahaha"

Xu You's words made Mu Tianjian shudder, and at this moment, he found that the group of people he encountered were more weird, fierce, and even terrifying than any enemy he had encountered in the jungle before.

He Chenxue sat there in the dark and waited, and Fan Junyi was also waiting, until the mercenary threw a glow stick in front of the two of them, and shouted, "Put down your weapon!" ”

He Chenxue obediently put the gun on the ground, and Fan Junyi also threw away the dagger.

The mercenary pointed his gun at them and pressed the intercom to let the sniper cover them, keeping an eye on their surroundings to prevent anyone from sneaking up.

Qian Xiuye and Fan Meng stepped forward slowly, and Fan Meng stood aside in a regular manner, looking at He Chenxue and Fan Junyi calmly, as if he had known that there would be such a day.

Qian Xiuye sat down slowly, next to Fan Junyi, Fan Junyi's breathing became short, he didn't know what would happen to his fate next, so he raised his eyes to look at his son Fan Meng.

At this glance, he saw Fan Meng smiling at him, and then Fan Meng sat down next to He Chenxue opposite.

At this time, the only one standing was the mercenary who was still on guard with a gun, and the atmosphere at the scene became extremely strange, and the tension was full of fear of the unknown.

"Mr. Fan, your son is very good." Qian Xiuye looked at Fan Jun with a smile, "I have always respected the Jade Casting Society, if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have calculated the Jade Gate, you are a smart person, you should know that I have good intentions, right?" ”

Fan Jun nodded and didn't speak, even if he knew it was a lie, what else could he do but nod at this time? His own sons worshipped this old fox as a teacher.

After Qian Xiuye finished speaking, he looked at Fan Meng, and then turned to He Chenxue.

Fan Meng took a deep breath, raised his hand and touched the bandage on his face, and said to He Chenxue in an extremely gentle, numb-sounding voice: "Chenxue, I miss you very much." ”

After speaking, Fan Meng slowly grabbed He Chenxue's hand, and the moment he grabbed it, He Chenxue trembled, subconsciously withdrew his hand, and was grabbed by Fan Meng.

He Chenxue didn't struggle anymore, but tears fell directly from her eyes.

Seeing this scene, Fan Meng leaned back and smiled at his father and master, as if to say, "Look, I have won again." ”

I don't know why, Fan Junyi's heart hurts very much at this moment, he feels very sorry for He Chenxue, sorry for He Yuejia, sorry for the Xuan family, sorry for the ancestors of the Jade Casting Society.

It was also at this moment that Fan Junyi had a feeling in his heart that the jade casting would be over, completely finished.

He Chenxue's tears couldn't stop flowing downward, Fan Meng slowly raised his hand to hug her, He Chenxue lay on his shoulder, crying and convulsed, no one knew whether she was crying because of joy, or because she regretted that she had broken the poisonous oath she had made before.

In short, He Chenxue has fallen, completely fallen, and she finally understands that in fact, the hallucinations she saw in front of her eyes in the Scarlet Gallery were not hallucinations at all, they were all the truest thoughts in her heart.

"I'm sorry, sister, I'm sorry, Dad......" He Chenxue hugged Fan Meng and bit her lip and said, "I really love Fan Meng, I really love him!" ”

Fan Meng, who was smiling, gritted his teeth, he wanted to laugh out loud, but he couldn't do it, so he could only release the power of laughter on his hands and hug He Chenxue tighter and tighter.
