Chapter 14: The Invisible Murderer
Xiao Ling took a breath lightly, he couldn't imagine that these mud crocodiles were hidden in the depths of the living mud before, and even he couldn't hear the slightest movement, but at this moment, they suddenly moved collectively and rushed up, and even Xiao Ling's face changed.
There are live mud pools everywhere, and if you are not careful, you may step into it, even Xiao Ling has to be extra careful, in just a short time, at least five mud crocodiles rushed out of the mud around them.
There were two more screams in a row, and two more people were bitten and dragged down.
Xiao Ling let out a low snort from his mouth, the assault rifle in his hand was raised, and with a bang, a mud crocodile who had just rushed ashore and wanted to attack Liu Dajiang was shot off by Xiao Ling.
The hunters who were still alive were completely confused, and between life and death, even experienced hunters could not withstand this fear.
"Don't run aroundβ" Xiao Ling saw that something was wrong, and as soon as the words came out, a hunter fled in confusion, stumbling into the living mud, struggling in terror, but sinking faster.
Liu Dajiang was busy taking off the rope on his body, and wanted to throw the rope to save it, but the mud suddenly splashed in the live mud, and a mud crocodile appeared, and the bloody mouth bit the person's head, sank into the mud, and disappeared.
Liu Dajiang was cold.
Cao Mingyi let out an angry roar, and suddenly there was a loud "boom", and he threw a grenade out, completely blasting a quagmire not far away, the mud was mixed with flesh and blood, and a mud crocodile hidden in it was blown to pieces.
Xiao Ling's figure was like electricity, his "vision" was turned on, capturing the surrounding environment, distinguishing the ground from the living mud, and running on the ground accurately, and the assault rifle in his hand rang out one after another.
Each shot knocked off the head of a mud crocodile.
Soon he killed six mud crocodiles in a row, and Cao Mingyi threw a grenade again, killing a mud crocodile, and the surroundings finally quieted down.
The ground was in a mess, except for Xiao Ling and the others, the other people who were still alive were all terrified, covered in mud, and panting for breath.
"Let's go...... Run...... It's hell and can't stay any longer! A hunter screamed.
In just a short period of time, five people were killed in a row, including Ma Yong, and the nine hunters who were still alive almost completely collapsed.
"These crocodiles are the messengers of the Swamp King, we have angered the Swamp King, and if we stay any longer, we will die, run away!"
This time, Liu Dajiang and the others didn't ask Zhou Kesheng again, and directly turned around and fled back.
The nine hunters who were still alive all fled.
Xiao Ling looked at Zhou Kesheng and said, "What should I do?" β
Zhou Kesheng smiled bitterly: "What else can I do?" I can only rely on them, I was expecting them to be safer, but I didn't expect this to scare away. He shook his head as he spoke: "Is this still an experienced old hunter?" β
Cao Mingyi glanced at him and said, "Do you think everyone is a madman who came out of the 'Black Fire Training Camp'?" Don't even want your life? I'm surprised that they've made it this far, and you shouldn't have asked them to die in vain. β
Zhou Kesheng said: "It is always safer when there are more people, and in case of danger, they can also be a backrest, although cruel...... But I also had to. β
As soon as these words came out, Cao Mingyi stopped talking, although he knew that Zhou Kesheng was cruel, but in this dangerous and mysterious place, more cannon fodder means that they will be safer.
Zhou Kesheng's real intention in recruiting these hunters was to use them as cannon fodder for sacrifice, so he paid such a high honorarium, to put it bluntly, those honorarities were used to buy lives.
"It's a pity that you miscalculated, they are just ordinary people, no matter how greedy they are, their lives are more important after all." Cao Mingyi sighed.
Seeing that Liu Dajiang and Guo Peng's nine surviving hunters fled back and disappeared into the dense fog in the distance, Zhou Kesheng didn't speak again, just looked at the mud all over the ground around him, and said, "Let's go, I hope that the 'Shennong Palace' is ahead." β
Now there were only three of them left, and everyone was in good spirits.
Xiao Ling opened the box on his back.
Cao Mingyi looked at the knife in the box, and a trace of discoloration appeared on his face.
Xiao Ling took out the sub-sword, the mother knife was still put into the back of the box, now he was holding an assault rifle in his hand, there was no need to use the mother knife for the time being, the sub-sword was used to prevent fierce beasts and dangerous close proximity, at that time, the assault rifle was not as good as the sub-sword.
Losing those hunters as cannon fodder, the three of them, under the leadership of Cao Mingyi, carefully avoided the living quagmire on the ground and continued to go deeper.
"Lao Cao, after so many years, do you still remember this terrain?" Zhou Kesheng followed behind Cao Mingyi, holding a submachine gun in his hand, and asked while observing.
Cao Mingyi said: "Almost nothing has changed, I still have the impression that we also encountered the sheep and these mud crocodiles back then, at that time, we had dozens of people, well prepared, those sheep failed to hurt us, when they met these mud crocodiles, they injured a few people." β
Cao Mingyi paused, with a slight hesitation on his face, before he continued: "At that time, we also learned about it locally, and knew that there was really a legend about the swamp king in this swamp, but we didn't see any swamp kings that time, I remember that there were a lot of mud crocodiles here at that time, we killed a lot of mud crocodiles that time, and then rushed to a mud crocodile lair, full of mud crocodiles, and there are more terrible things than mud crocodiles...... Half of my face was ruined by that thing, but I don't even know what it is. β
When Cao Mingyi said this, he showed a slight look of fear on his face, and slowly took off his hat, revealing half of his frightening face.
Xiao Ling was shocked to see that half of his face was almost torn off.
"It's good that I've practiced a little bit of kung fu...... In the past ten years, I have been having nightmares all the time, thinking about those dead teammates, always thinking that one day, I will avenge them with my own hands, I can't think of it...... This time I really revisited. β
Cao Mingyi had a bitter smile on his face, and he couldn't help but grab the submachine gun in his hand.
"You haven't seen anything that hurt you?" Xiao Ling frowned slightly.
Cao Mingyi saw that Xiao Ling's skills were very agile through the battle just now, and realized that he was not simple, so he didn't underestimate him anymore, heard him ask, nodded and said: "Yes, although there are many mud crocodiles, they are not terrible, we were well prepared at the time, and we can handle it, but I don't know what is hidden among the mud crocodiles, what is really terrible is that thing, and even I suspect that it is the swamp king that the locals have in their mouths." β
Xiao Ling nodded and did not speak.
