Chapter 17: Substitute for the Dead

There were more and more colorful mushroom plants around, and soon they became densely packed with all of them, and everyone had to step on them when they were in a hurry.

When trampled, the mushroom resembles a multicolored mash of meat and oozes juice.

Everyone quickly left here, and Sun Tao led a few team members with submachine guns to open the way in front, and soon led everyone to a hundred meters away.

Sun Tao held a searchlight in his left hand, and from time to time he shone into the darkness around him, only to see that all the reflections in all directions were colorful luminescent light, and the underground world seemed to have become a world formed of colorful mushrooms.

Sun Tao was using the searchlight to shine around, and suddenly startled several small beasts from the dense multicolored mushrooms.

This little beast is only the size of a tanuki, with black and white lines on its body, and the head of a rat, they are eating this multicolored mushroom, and they are startled by the beam of the searchlight, and they jump up from the mushroom far away, and quickly flee into the darkness, disappearing.

Xiao Ling saw these unknown little beasts that were startled by the light line and quickly disappeared, and was about to ask Wang Lei what kind of animal this was, when he suddenly found that above this dense multicolored mushroom, at some point, a miserable white hand was floating in the air.

This big white hand, which seemed to be real and illusory, was quietly suspended on it, and its five fingers were slightly open, as if it was holding something in the void.

In this dark underground world, suddenly seeing this miserable white hand again, Xiao Ling couldn't help but gasp, and a chill came out of his back.

Every time he saw this miserable white hand appear, something ominous happened, at this moment, everyone was in this underground world thousands of meters underground, and the future was uncertain, and suddenly saw this miserable white hand, which was definitely an ominous sign.

Xiao Ling grabbed Zhou Kesheng and pointed to the place where the miserable white hand appeared, he wanted to suggest that everyone should not approach that direction, but suddenly found that the miserable white hand had disappeared at some point.

"Xiao Ling, what's wrong?" Zhou Kesheng saw Xiao Ling's abnormal behavior and immediately stopped.

Xiao Ling's face was ugly and said, "I saw that ...... again Although it is now gone, it ...... In that direction, let's not go. ”

Zhou Kesheng frowned, that was the direction that everyone was going to go, but after he looked at Xiao Ling, he still chose to believe Xiao Ling, let everyone take a detour, and try not to approach the small area that Xiao Ling pointed to just now.

Everyone walked around the area where the big white hand had just appeared, and suddenly there was a sound in the darkness on the left.

The sound came quickly, very densely, and everyone's faces changed color, and they could hear that some creature was rapidly approaching them.

Sun Tao and several team members immediately shone the searchlight far away into the darkness where the movement came, but they saw piles of colorful mushrooms forming mushroom bushes that were trampled and splashed with juice, and one after another albino mutant Komodo dragons rushed out of the depths of the darkness.

"Oh no, there's a Komodo dragon's lair here, get out of here! This kind of monitor lizard is the most vindictive, its mouth is full of deadly germs, and once it is bitten, the consequences are unimaginable! Zoologist Wang Lei reminded everyone loudly.

Sun Tao decisively gave the order: "Fire!" ”

He and a few of his teammates immediately blocked the left front and opened fire on the Komodo dragon that had only rushed out of the darkness.

The power of the submachine gun was huge, and in the sound of clicking, blood splattered on the two Komodo dragons that rushed in front of them, and they immediately shook and fell down, but from the depths of the darkness, the sound of trampling on the colorful mushrooms became louder and louder, and the scope of the impact became wider and wider.

"Hurry back, don't panic!" Zhou Kesheng reminded everyone loudly, more than 20 people retreated in an orderly manner, and seven or eight fully armed team members stepped forward to suppress these terrible monitor lizards that rushed out of the darkness with submachine guns.

Xiao Ling followed Zhou Kesheng closely, and the searchlight beams on everyone's helmets swept around, cutting through the endless darkness one after another, and the scene became a little chaotic.

In the midst of the chaos and the sweeping beams of searchlights, Xiao Ling suddenly turned his head and saw an object appear above his head.

The big white hand appeared silently again, it was quietly suspended in the rock formation above his head, as if it had penetrated the rock formation, and suddenly stretched out two huge fingers and fell suddenly.

This scene was strange and terrifying, Xiao Ling felt a huge fear in his heart, and instinctively let out a wild shout: "Be careful-"

These days, the stronger and stronger physical strength played a role at this moment, and while he was shouting wildly, the huge strength of his legs came from nowhere, and he kicked hard and slashed out.

As soon as he burst out, he heard a terrible scream in his ears.

A member of the team who was escorting everyone to retreat, holding submachine guns in both hands, was engrossed in the movement in the darkness behind him, but he didn't expect that something suddenly fell above his head, as fast as an ape, and he lay on his back, a pair of claws on his shoulders, his bloody mouth opened, and his sharp fangs cut through his clothes and skin, biting deeply into his neck.

Suddenly, he let out a scream, twisting his body desperately, trying to shake off the thing that was lying on his back and biting his neck, but suddenly there was a crisp "click", and blood spurted out like a spring.

Xiao Ling, who swooped out obliquely, saw it clearly in the beam of the searchlight, this was a creature that looked like an ape, with a pair of snow-white ears erected, the big mouth of the bulging blood basin was open, and the fangs were staggered, and it easily bit off most of the neck of this team member from the back of the neck, and it shot out with a large piece of flesh and blood in its bloody mouth, jumped out three or four meters away in the air, moved quickly, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

The back of the neck was bitten off most of the team's back of the neck blood fountain, the bones inside were bitten off and exposed, the body shook and rushed forward two steps, the submachine gun in his hand fell to the ground, and then he fell to the ground heavily, his legs convulsed, obviously unable to live.

Xiao Ling's eyes widened, staring at the top.

He saw the big white hand hanging in the void, and a white ball of light was twisted between the two giant fingers, and the ball of light broke, and a small white figure only a few inches in size appeared in it.

The little white man looked exactly like the one who had just been attacked and fell, and he was struggling with horror on his face, and his giant fingers twisted around the little white man, lifted him up, and disappeared into the darkness above.

The big white hand carried the white figure and disappeared, and the team member who fell to the ground stopped convulsing and became motionless, having lost his life.

Behind Xiao Ling's forehead, there was a cold sweat that came out of shock, and he had a faint feeling in his heart that just at that moment, the two giant fingers of the miserable white hand fell in the air, as if the target was himself, but he reacted and narrowly escaped.
