Chapter 33: The Trap

There is a cloud of darkness in the distance, this underground world, dark all year round, no sunlight, no one understands why these plants still grow so luxuriantly due to the lack of sunlight, even Song Jifu, who is a botanist, can't explain the principle.

According to the direction of Zhou Kesheng's guidance, everyone carefully shuttled through this forest all the way, Sun Tao led two gun-wielding team members to open the way in front, the plants became more and more lush, and they had to take out waist knives to cut down some branches and shrubs.

Suddenly, Sun Tao felt as if he had tripped over something like green vine under his feet, his mind moved slightly, and he suddenly heard a snort in his ears, and instinctively made him let out a low roar: "Be careful!" He lunged down and lunged forward.

A team member who followed him reacted as quickly as Sun Tao, and before he understood what was going on, he felt that the side of his head was hit sideways by an object, and with a bang, his body flew out directly sideways, and he hit the big tree on the side.

Suddenly, everyone was taken aback, Xiao Ling used the light, only to see that among the oncoming trees, suddenly something flew sideways from top to bottom, like a big clock swinging, because Sun Tao was short to avoid, the swinging giant thing hit his teammates around him firmly, directly blasting the teammate's head, flying sideways, and hitting the trees on the side.

This scene came too suddenly, and when everyone reacted, they realized that the giant thing that suddenly hit down turned out to be a thick tree, about several meters long, waist thick, with a thick hemp rope tied to one end, which was originally tied to a tree dozens of meters high, under the effect of the hemp rope, like a big bell swinging sideways, it hit from a height of dozens of meters, and the power it carried was so terrifying.

The team member couldn't resist even if he was wearing a helmet, and he was directly blasted out along with the helmet and head, and the headless corpse that lost its head hit the big tree on the side, and then fell down again.

lost his life in an instant, and he didn't even have time to scream when he was dying.

Sun Tao narrowly escaped, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he let out a low roar: "There is a trap!" He bowed on the spot, took out his pistol with his backhand, and fired a shot at the top, while turning off the searchlight in his hand to prevent the enemy who was hidden in the shadows from using the beam of the searchlight to determine his position and attack him.

The other members of the team raised their submachine guns one after another, but there was no movement among the dark trees around them, except for the giant tree that had taken the life of their companion, hanging to the ground, swaying slightly, stained with blinding blood.

Xiao Ling and Zhou Kesheng also found trees to hide, originally everyone thought that if they were attacked, there would be other dangers around, and they didn't want to be dead and silent around, after being silent for dozens of seconds, Sun Tao slowly straightened up again, turned the searchlight back on, and the extremely penetrating beam broke through the darkness and shot around, but saw that there were no enemies around except for trees?

"What's going on?" Sun Tao muttered, and he was a little numb with the loss of team members along the way, and he was no longer as excited and angry as he was at the beginning.

"Someone has set a trap here, and you just touched the trap and smashed the log above it." Zhou Kesheng walked over, and with the help of Sun Tao's light, he quickly pulled out a hemp rope from a pile of dead leaves in the place where Sun Tao had just walked.

Sun Tao thought that he had just tripped over Qingteng, and now he knew that it was not Qingteng that stumbled him, but hemp rope.

Sun Tao was professionally trained, not only in the use of firearms, but also in hand-to-hand combat and some simple wilderness survival skills, as well as the creation of traps, and he immediately understood what was going on.

Obviously, this is a trap that has been set up for a long time, someone used the hemp rope to pull the log to the top of the tree dozens of meters high, and there is a hemp rope below to trigger the trap mechanism, as long as someone walks into this area and unintentionally trips the hemp rope, the giant log above will be hit down in an arc because of the action of the mechanism, like a big pendulum, he narrowly avoided it, and the poor companion who followed him suffered, and his head was blown up, turning into a headless corpse.

"Captain, Lu Weize has died." The two team members walked to the headless corpse, and couldn't bear to take a second look, the fate of this companion named Lu Weize, the whole head was gone, and there was no need to check the body and check the situation at all.

Xiao Ling silently looked at the depths of the forest, his heart trembling slightly.

The others couldn't see it, but he could see it very clearly, just now, the miserable white hand suddenly appeared, fell from the sky, and grabbed the white villain of Lu Weize in one fell swoop, and disappeared into the dark forest.

There were again casualties in the ranks.

It would be a trap created by people to kill this Lu Weize.

After everyone panicked, doubts surged in their minds almost at the same time.

Who set this trap?

Sun Tao looked at Zhou Kesheng and said in a hoarse voice: "Mr. Zhou, why are there traps here, is there anyone else alive in this underground world?" ”

This trap made of hemp rope and logs could never have been made by wild beasts, nor could it have been left over from some civilization in the ancient past, and it was clearly a trap that had been set up recently.

Otherwise, if it was too old, the hemp rope would have rotted long ago.

Zhou Kesheng's face was a little pale, and he said slowly: "This matter is completely beyond my imagination, even I can't figure out what is going on?" Who set the trap here? It's completely impossible, could it be that someone else has entered here besides us? Even earlier than us? ”

This sentence made the others look at each other, and what Zhou Kesheng said now is almost the only possibility, that is, before their scientific expedition members came in, someone else entered this world? And a trap was set up here to deal with them.

Li Zhibao's heart tightened and said: "Old Zhou, if this is true, it will be troublesome, the other party must also be coming for the Pisces Jade Pei, we must not let the other party take the lead, hurry, we have to hurry." ”

Zhou Kesheng nodded and said: "Yes, if someone else really precedes us, then there may be other traps, not only this trap mechanism, we all have to be careful." ”

Sun Tao gritted his teeth and said: "If someone else really takes the lead and lets me catch these people, I will definitely not let them go." ”

Thinking that there might be other people in front of them, Zhou Kesheng and the others became anxious and immediately urged Sun Tao to set off.

Sun Tao nodded, holding his waist knife, and walked more slowly, he checked all the way to find out if there were other traps.
