Chapter 7: Riddled with Holes
readx(); Xu You's eyes were closed, the mercenary was open, and the foreheads of the two were next to each other, but the mercenary felt as if he was leaning on the head of a dead man, because Xu You's forehead was cold.
"Slap" There was a crisp sound suddenly, and when the mercenary just opened his mouth and screamed, Xu You directly blocked the mercenary's mouth with his mouth and pressed his body against the rock next to him.
Mu Tianjian clearly saw that he broke one of the mercenaries' fingers, and also blocked the mercenary's mouth with his own mouth to prevent him from screaming, and at the same time, Xu You's cheeks were still shaking, obviously laughing excitedly.
Soon, Xu You broke the other one, and at this time, Mu Tianjian couldn't stand it anymore, so he put down the gun directly, shivered, and looked at this strange and weird scene.
Fan Junyi felt even more like throwing up, but He Chenxue put his hands in his pockets, leaned to the side, and hummed in a low voice.
"Xu You, the stalactites here have temperature." Yang Zhengxia looked at the stalagmite and still didn't look back.
Xu You took his mouth away from the mercenary's mouth, and at the same time quickly reached out to cover the mercenary's mouth, turned his head to look at his teacher, and spat on the ground again: "Is it?" What's going on here? ”
"Geothermal phenomena, right? I don't know much about it, I've learned it before, and I've forgotten it. Yang Zhengxia finally looked back at Xu You, "You are busy first, and when we are done, we will talk later." ”
Xu You saw that the mercenary was already crying, and asked calmly, "It's all crying, don't you say it?" ”
The mercenary was stronger than everyone expected, gritting his teeth and shaking his head.
Xu You leaned in and licked the tears on the mercenary's face with his tongue, this action made Fan Junyi couldn't help but scold: "Neurotic!" Perverted! ”
Xu You turned his head and looked at Fan Junyi coldly: "Don't worry, I'll take care of you later." ”
"Get out! You pervert! Fan Jun felt very sick to his stomach and almost vomited.
And Xu You suddenly bit the mercenary's face, making a sound like a beast, and then let go, and said with a smile: "You think I'm going to tear off your face, right?" I'm not that bloody, I just want to know your intel on, and by the way, I've got a good thing here. ”
Xu You stretched out his hand, took the backpack over, and took out an injection: "Do you know what this is?" Adrenal gland injection, the full name is adrenal hydrochloride injection, you are a mercenary, you should know very well the effect of this thing, as long as I inject it and slowly torture you, your pain will be ten times as much as it is now. ”
The mercenary looked at the injection, tears flowed down his eyes, he didn't expect to meet such a neurotic madman here, he had to nod and say, "I said, I said ......"
Xu You deliberately shook his head proudly, and turned his head to look at He Chenxue: "Miss He, am I powerful?" Hurry up and praise me! ”
He Chenxue smiled and gave him a thumbs up, while Mu Tianjian closed his eyes and cursed Xu You in his heart.
As soon as Fan Jun looked at Xu You's appearance, he kept scolding him in his heart for being neurotic and mentally ill, and at the same time he was extremely worried about He Chenxue, in his eyes, He Chenxue was about to become Xu You's kind of person.
After the mercenary told everything he knew in detail, Xu You, who was listening carefully, got up, pointed outside and said, "Okay, you can go." ”
The mercenary jerked up at him, completely unconvinced of what he was hearing.
Xu You's face was gentle: "Those words I said just now were all to scare you, I don't like to kill, let's go, hurry up!" Fast! Fast! Fast! ”
After Xu You finished speaking, he dragged the mercenary up from the ground, and pushed him, the mercenary covered his broken hand, and ran towards the cave with a rolling belt, and was shot dead by Mu Tianjian before he ran out of ten meters away.
Xu You looked at the fallen mercenary, pretended to be surprised, and slowly turned his head to look at Mu Tianjian: "You are so cruel, you can do this kind of thing!" ”
Mu Tianjian ignored him at all, just took the walkie-talkie, guns and ammunition and other items from the mercenary, put on his backpack and walked forward.
Xu You turned his head to look at Fan Junyi: "Why is this person so cruel?" ”
"Neurotic!" As soon as Fan Jun walked by his side, he scolded fiercely.
Xu You looked at Fan Junyi, but his face was full of doubts: "You are a psychopath!" ”
After He Chenxue, Mu Tianjian, and Fan Jun walked away a little, Yang Zhengxia stepped forward and took out a pill, but Xu You didn't even look at it, but chased straight after him and shouted at Fan Junyi: "You say I'm a nervous person?" What do you mean? Have I offended you? Why are you like this? ”
Yang Zhengxia walked slowly behind, and suddenly he stopped, turned to look at the darkness behind him, glanced around, and waited for a while before leaving.
In the dark, Chen Taidong quietly walked out, checked the bodies of the two mercenaries, knocked down the edge of a rock with a pickaxe, extinguished the flashlight, and continued to quietly follow He Chenxue and the others.
An hour later, Qi Guan, Torture and others entered the cave, and after finding the body, Qi Guan immediately looked around, and then found the broken rock, nodded and said, "Great, Taidong has entered the cave." ”
Xingshu asked, "Why didn't Uncle Chen act with us?" ”
Qi Guan explained: "I deliberately distanced us from the previous groups of people, and at the same time, let Chen Taidong form a buffer zone between us and them, if there is something, Taidong can notify us as soon as possible, and we can think of contingency measures." ”
Lian Jiuqi was a little dissatisfied: "Uncle Qi, what if Uncle Chen is in danger?" He was only one man. ”
Qi looked at Lian Jiuqi, who looked dissatisfied: "That's also sacrificing him alone, not all of us." ”
"You ......" Lian Jiuqi stepped forward, and Yan Gang immediately stopped him and signaled him not to be angry.
Qi Guan said coldly: "This is also his willingness, not that I coerced him, now this is the battlefield, we and the other party are the warring sides, the best result is that Qian Xiuye and He Chenxue several groups of people kill each other, and we can profite effortlessly." ”
Torture was also very dissatisfied when he heard this, but he didn't say it.
Qi Guan deliberately glanced at Ma Fei, and then walked up to the torture technique and said, "What? Do you feel sorry for He Chenxue? Is that kind of woman worth it? You almost took your life in the Kocuo Temple. ”
The torture endured it, and asked in a calm tone, "That's not going to be a crime...... So what's the strategy, right? ”
"Despicable? Shameless? Qi looked at the eyes of the torture technique, "How did your master die, you forgot?" Torture, are you stupid or what's going on? I know that you have always had your own principles, and I have not encouraged you to turn yourself into a beast, but this is your battlefield of life and death, and the enemy has a knife and a gun in his hand, and you can't fight back with a mouth and philosophy to protect yourself, right? ”
Xingshu nodded: "Uncle Qi, I understand what you mean, you probably misunderstood." ”
Qi Guan turned around and walked forward: "You two fathers and sons, both of you have made a mistake, you are ruthless, if you two don't have those emotional weaknesses, you won't be played by Qian Xiuye for so many years, don't argue, let's go!" ”
When Yan Gang, Bai Zhongzheng, and Chen Fang stepped forward, they all deliberately patted the torture technique on the shoulder, telling him not to be angry with Qi Guan, while the torture technique stood there pondering.
Maffei asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”
Torture came back to his senses and smiled: "It's nothing, let's go." ”
Lian Jiuqi's face was unhappy, and it wasn't until the torture technique waved at him that he raised his feet and left.
After the group came to the place where Qian Xiuye and the others found the night silkworms, Qian Xiuye circled around, turned around and said, "Everyone should turn on at least one lighting device to ensure that they have a light source on their body." ”
Maffei didn't understand and asked, "What's going on?" How did this man die so horribly? ”
Xingshu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know, and Lian Jiuqi explained beside him: "It seems that it should be a night silkworm, and there is information on this insect in the database of the Cusco company, which is a parasite that parasitizes the body of some kind of bat." ”
"It's a toothed bat." Qi Guan continued to walk forward, motioning for the others to follow, "A kind of bat that lives in a specific environment, because of the sharp teeth in its mouth, even the claws and under the belly are covered with barbs like sharp teeth, so it has a nickname called the toothed bat, this kind of toothed bat generally does not take the initiative to attack, unless they find that the nest has been attacked, of course, the most terrifying thing is that this toothed bat is parasitic with the night silkworm, and the night silkworm will secrete a liquid in its mouth, how does this liquid mix with the body fluids oozing from its body surface, It will produce strong corrosiveness, but silkworms, like toothed bats, are afraid of bright light. ”
At this time, Ma Fei even felt in his heart that the two-headed snake in the dungeon under the Ghost Mountain was much cuter, at least the body of that thing was huge, you could clearly see it with the naked eye, and it could run wildly with its legs, and it could escape, and the number was limited, but the toothed bat and the night silkworm were completely different, and it was estimated that it would be overwhelming as soon as it appeared.
Thinking of this, Maffei couldn't help but shudder.
The strange thing is that the next journey was surprisingly smooth, they didn't hear gunshots from the front, and there were no traces of people struggling along the way, let alone blood stains and corpses, which showed that Qian Xiuye and He Chenxue were also safe and sound.
The torture technique was very conflicted in his heart, although he wished that some monster or mechanism would emerge here and kill Qian Xiuye cleanly, but he was really worried that He Chenxue, Fan Junyi, and Mu Tianjian would also die because of this.
Are you really stupid? The torture technique is constantly asking himself, and at the same time, he also asks himself, is he still affectionate for He Chenxue? The answer is no, he has long thought about it and understood it, after all, people have been hurt to a certain extent, and they are either disappointed or hateful.
The torture technique is the former, he has been completely disappointed, and he also knows that he will not be able to persuade He Chenxue to turn back no matter what, and he also knows very well that He Chenxue will not have any good results if he goes on like this.
Whether it is separated or reunited, it is a precedent and destiny.
"Stop!" Yan Gang, who was at the forefront, raised his fist and used a flashlight to shine from top to bottom the huge stalagmite that looked like a beehive hanging in the center of the stalactite cave.
Everyone stepped forward and shone it with a flashlight, each observing the stalagmites full of holes of different sizes up and down, and if there were people with dense phobia, it was estimated that they would faint immediately when they saw this thing.
Qi looked ahead and said, "Yan Gang, you go around the stalagmites to see if there is a road ahead." ”
Yan Gang gestured and asked Chen Fang to stay, and he and Bai Zhongzheng immediately stepped forward, bypassed the stalagmites, and probed ahead, and after a while, the two returned, Yan Gang said: "There is a dead road ahead, and there is no trace of anyone walking, and there are no footprints on the wet soil." ”
Qi Guan frowned, looked at the messy footprints under the stalagmites, and stepped forward to touch the edge of one of the larger holes, the edge of which was obviously scraped by something.
Qi Guan said: "It seems that they got in." ”
"Get in!?" Chen Fang was surprised and said, "Crazy, right? How is it possible to get in!? ”
Qi Guan said lightly: "It's possible." ”
Bai Zhongzheng was calculating something, Qi glanced at him, and asked, "Is it calculated?" ”
"Wait a minute." Bai Zhongzheng looked around, took out a pen and paper and counted there, then got up and looked at the notebook and said, "According to the coordinates of the burial place you said before, using the fault method to calculate, the sacrificial well should be near here, I estimate that the reason why Qian Xiuye and they dare to get into it should be that the first group of adventurous people also entered, and there are no other entrances and exits here." ”
Qi Guan shone the flashlight to the top of the stalagmite: "Look there. ”
Everyone looked up and found that in the row of holes at the top of the stalagmite, there were two or three holes in which the leg bones and hand bones of the corpses were exposed, and at the top of the cave around the stalagmite, there were also some blackened bones hanging upside down, and the legs of those bones seemed to be glued to the top of the cave by something.
Torture looked at it and asked, "What does this mean?" Who are these people? ”
Lian Jiuqi looked around, then raised his head and said: "It should be those craftsmen who built the sacrificial well, most of the ancient craftsmen knew that they couldn't live when they built underground facilities, places like mausoleums, but they also pretended not to know, and secretly dug some breath for themselves that could survive." ”
"Yes." Bai Zhongzheng glanced at the torture technique, "It should be like this, these people dug a tunnel from the sacrificial well to escape, but they dug here, but they encountered something, and then they all died here, and none of them got out alive." ”
Ma Fei hurriedly asked: "Could it be the toothed bat I said before?" ”
Qi Guan said: "It's very likely, but now we are safe." ”
"Why?" As soon as Yan finished speaking, he realized again, "I know, if there are toothed bats, when Qian Xiuye and them climb in, they will definitely be alarmed, so we are safe, so let's go." ”
After Yan Gang finished speaking, he subconsciously looked behind him, afraid of something coming out of the darkness, and dragged himself in.
Qiguan chose a larger hole, the first to drill in, the others followed, after entering the stalagmite, they found that there was a Qiankun stalagmite inside is completely empty, so no matter which hole can be drilled, the most terrifying thing is that the bottom of the stalagmite is full of Bai Sensen's bones, stepping on it, clicking.
Standing inside the huge stalagmite, everyone subconsciously looked up and towards the top, because the only way out was only up and down.
"Up, go." After Qi Guan finished speaking, he was about to grab the stalagmite hole next to him and climb up, but was stopped by Yan Gang.
Yan Gang said: "Old man, let's go first, the situation above is unknown, you are the backbone, don't make any mistakes." ”
Qi Guan retreated, Yan Gang climbed up along the hole, followed by Bai Zhongzheng.
After Yan Gang climbed up, he originally wanted to pull out the burning stick, but after thinking about it, he was worried that it would ignite something, so he simply took two glow sticks, put them on his two wrists, and then looked around, and said to the bottom at the same time: "The space above is not large, it is a tunnel dug by hand, which can only accommodate one person to climb over, we can only climb forward one by one, I will climb first, you will follow slowly." ”
After Yan Gang finished speaking, he squirmed his body and crawled forward, and after climbing at least ten meters, Yan Gang stopped, lay there and rested, and turned his head to Bai Zhongzheng behind him with difficulty: "Zhongzheng, this tunnel is a bit deep, and look at the traces, Qian Xiuye did climb through here before, the air here is not thin, but you have to hurry up." ”
After resting for a while, Yan Gang continued to move forward, and after crawling in the tunnel for more than forty minutes, he reached the end.
As soon as Yan Gang's head emerged from the mouth of the tunnel, he immediately felt a gust of wind blowing up from below, and it was a fishy wind, mixed with a strange smell of medicine.
Yan Gang immediately turned on the flashlight and shone it around, and saw that there was indeed a well outside the tunnel, and the walls of the well were all empty caves.
Yan Gang climbed out excitedly, carefully stepped on the side, and then groped for the protruding stones, and after finding a few of the strongest ones, he tied the rope, fixed his body, helped Bai Zhongzheng come out, and shouted into the mouth of the tunnel: "It's here, it looks like it's indeed a sacrificial well, I'll put on the pitons first." ”
Yan Gang and Bai Zhongzheng together punched pitons around the wall of the well, and hit a dozen or so in a row, threaded the ropes into them, and fixed them so that the people who climbed out of the tunnel could fix their bodies, because there was not even a place to stand on their feet, and everyone could only rely on the ropes around their waists to hang on the edge of the wall of the well.
After the torture technique crawled out and was fixed, he turned his head and looked around: "It really has the style of a cast iron immortal, starting from the Heaven and Earth Mansion and ending at the well downstairs of Sir Mansion, it is actually similar to the sacrificial well." ”
Marfi pulled the mask and sprayed some perfume on the mask: "What a smell, it smells so bad." ”
"The smell of bones, combined with an ancient disinfectant potion, becomes this smell." While explaining, he pulled the rope and looked down, "This is a Manichaean way of preserving corpses, but they are different from other places, they only preserve bones and internal organs, not flesh and skin, which is very peculiar, maybe you can see it after you go down." ”
Torture also pulled the rope: "Let's go down, be careful." ”
Yan Gang looked at Chen Fang and Bai Zhongzheng: "The three of us go down first, and the others come down slowly, because we don't know how deep this well is, and the length of the rope we brought may not be enough at all." ”
Qi Guan sighed: "It's not that maybe it's not enough, it's definitely not enough." ”
Yan Gang nodded, and took the lead in pulling the rope and sliding down, and soon he, Bai Zhongzheng, and Chen Fang disappeared into the darkness of the well, and they couldn't even hear a sound.
Just as the torture technique was about to decline, Qi Guan spoke: "There are some things I have to remind a few people. ”
The torture technique and the others raised their eyes and looked at Qi Guan, not knowing what he was going to say at this time.
