Volume 2, The Lost Trail of the Sand Sea Chapter 164, Crisis Under the Sand

Balohard looked at the crowd, "One possibility is that he has already found Bruno and O'Rank, but according to the time calculation, their positions cannot be so close. Then there's another possibility......."

Balohad looked around, his hand holding the torch tightened: "Something terrible may have happened in the Forest of the Dead, that man is in danger and he is fleeing for his life!" ”

"What!" The rest of the people were shocked.

Ever since they entered the Forest of the Dead, they had nothing but sand in sight, and the surroundings were quiet and scary, and they had come across nothing until now.

The long period of vigilance made everyone's nerves a little numb, and at this moment, as soon as Balohad said it, everyone suddenly woke up.

Here, it's the Forest of the Necrons!

Chen Tao felt a chill in the back of his neck, it was really quiet here, so quiet that he almost forgot where he was.

Not to mention the others, even Chen Tao himself almost forgot that he was in an extremely dangerous place. Chen Tao couldn't help but take a deep breath, he was so careless, this kind of quietness is really a little crazy, and his body and mind are tormented in endless tension and defense, which can simply suffocate people.

"So what do we do, to chase or not to chase?" Ye Rong's eyes were fixed on the little red dot on the screen, and her eyes glanced at Balohad and Chen Tao. "This place has an effect on the signal, and if it exceeds a certain range, the instrument will lose the signal from that person."

Balohad illuminated the dark woods in front of him with a torch, and Chen Tao and Chen Tao spoke almost at the same time.

"Chase!"

The group held the torches and sped up their feet. The flames of the torches flickered in their ears, and Balohad and Soke rushed to the front with the torches, followed by Chen Tao and Ye Rong, and then Haozi and several other guards subordinates.

"Quick, he's still running, this direction!" Ye Rong looked at the tracking locator in her hand, and kept reporting the location of the black thin man to Balohard and Soke in front of her.

"You all be careful, pay attention to your surroundings, and don't be left behind! The brothers in the back pay attention to the back and notify everyone as soon as there is a situation! ”

Ballohad shouted in front of him, and the crowd kept moving, carrying torches through the forest. There are tree trunks all around, and people can't run fast in them, and if they are not careful, they will hit a tree or trip over a broken branch on the ground.

If you run into it, your nose will be crooked.

Fortunately, Chen Tao and the others have torches, although the lighting range in the Forest of the Dead is limited, but it is better than nothing, at least they can see the road under their feet clearly, so that they will not hit their heads on the trees and their heads will be broken and bleeding.

In a hurry, Chen Tao glanced at the location tracker in Ye Rong's hand, the little red dot on the instrument stopped and stopped, the black thin man had no torches, no weapons for self-defense, and he didn't know how he looked in the dark.

Everyone stalked quickly through the dense forest, and the little red dot on the instrument was getting closer and closer to them.

"He stopped!" Ye Rong in the crowd suddenly screamed.

"Where?" Balohad asked.

"Over here!" Ye Rong said.

"Quick, you all be careful, little brother Chen Tao, take care of Miss Ye and your friends, don't get separated!" Balohad shouted, "Everyone, keep up!" ”

"Don't worry, we're fine!" Chen Tao and Haozi responded in unison.

"It's almost there, and the signal shows he's ahead!" Ye Rong grabbed the tracker with one hand, and suddenly her face changed, "It's not good, the signal is weakening!" ”

"How far is it!" Sock in front of him asked.

"There are still more than twenty meters, just ahead!"

The black thin man's tracking signal weakened, which was not a good thing, the only thing that was fortunate was that so far, they had not encountered any danger, there was still that deathly silence around them, the sun had completely set, I don't know if it was blocked by the canopy of trees, or if the weather had changed, and there was darkness overhead, only a few stars hanging on it.

"Here it is! Be careful, everyone! Ye Rong in the crowd shouted again.

The small red dot on the tracker screen was still flashing, but the brightness was much dimmed, and everyone stopped, holding torches and began to search around the location shown by the instrument.

"The location of the signal is here, he should be near here, the distance will not be more than ten meters!"

"Ten meters, isn't that just in front of you?" Haozi leaned over and glanced at the screen and said, "That kid is squatting motionless, is he scared by us?" ”

"If that's okay, I'm afraid he's already ......." Ye Rong's expression was solemn, "It's strange, why did the signal become so weak?" ”

"Your thing is out of power......." Chen Tao glanced at Ye Rong, pulled Haozi and began to search between the surrounding tree trunks.

The distance of ten meters is not very far, Chen Tao and a dozen of them quickly searched for it, but they found nothing, not even a figure at all.

"Could it be that he dropped the tracker while he was running away?" Chen Tao asked.

"Probably not, I was glued very tightly, no matter how much he tossed, it didn't fall so easily, something was wrong. Ye Rong's eyes were glued to the screen of the tracker, and her feet were taking steps step by step, it seemed that she wanted to find out the tracker.

"Lord Barlow, come here!" Someone shouted in the dark, and Chen Tao and the others hurriedly looked at the location where the voice came.

The guard who had been guarding the thin black man with Sok was standing under a big tree that was the size of two people hugging each other, and pointed to a mass under the root of the tree and said, "There's a rag here, it's the man!" ”

When they saw that something was discovered, they all gathered around.

And at this time, Ye Rong also took the location tracker to the bottom of the big tree.

"Strange, how did the signal come out from under this tree, could it be that the man went underground?"

Ballohad tore off the rag hanging from the tree and shone a torch on the trunk. "The sand here is very flat, and there are no tree holes, how did he get down?"

Soke on the side pulled out a long knife and was about to dig a few times under the roots of the tree, but at this time, Ye Rong suddenly stopped him.

"Don't go over, he's moving!" Ye Rong stared closely at the screen of the location tracker, the small red dot on it was still flashing, but the brightness was slowly increasing, "The signal is strengthening, he is approaching us, the speed is fast!" ”

Everyone stared at the location tracker in Ye Rong's hand, watching the little red dot on it get brighter and brighter, flashing faster and faster, flashing faster and faster.

"Stand back! Hurry back! Balohad sensed that something was not quite right, and sent the group back a few steps, everyone staring at the sand under the big tree.

Rustling rustling rustling .......

There was a sudden and dense rustling sound in the silent dense forest, and under the firelight, the sand under the big tree rose and fell slightly, and everyone's eyes were staring at the sand mound, and their hands had subconsciously raised their rifles.

Suddenly, the sand exploded violently, and the mud and sand splashed everywhere, and everyone was caught off guard, and all of them reflexively turned their heads, trying to avoid the sand that rushed over, when they heard a scream from the crowd, and a black shadow seemed to jump out of the sand hole, and then everyone clearly heard a dense and strange sound.

Giggles.......

The sound is like a myriad of bones striking, and it's like a myriad of rattlesnakes circling around your ears, and you can hear your eardrums swelling and your brain feel like you've been electrocuted.

"Ah....... My eyes! One of the guards covered his eyes and screamed in pain, "Something grabbed my eye just now!" ”

"There's something! Hurry back! Balohad shouted, and was the first to react.

Everyone was startled, and they all took a few steps back, and picked up their rifles with a clatter.

"Just now I seem to have seen something come out of the ground and disappear again!" Chen Tao held the rifle in his hand and stared vigilantly at the sand under his feet.

There was nothing on the sand, just a pile of messy footprints. The guard who had been attacked earlier covered his left eye in pain, his face covered in blood.

Chen Tao was shocked to see it, the man's face seemed to have been scratched by something, three deep blood marks slanted through the bridge of his nose from the corner of his forehead, and his mouth was scratched.

The wound was deep and terrible, the red flesh turned out, the eyelids drooped, and even the white skull below could be seen, drop by drop of blood could not stop dripping down, the light of the torch danced on his face, and in the darkness it looked like a ghost, looking at it and seeping people.

"Lord Barlow!" The guard covered his face in pain, foaming blood from his mouth.

Chen Tao listened to the man's voice a little familiar, and took a closer look.

Isn't this the one who was scratched with a bad face the young guard who was guarding the black and thin man with Sock before!

"Barr!" Sock shouted, ripping a few pieces of clothing from his body and pressing them in the face of the young guard named Barr, his eyes full of distress.

This Baal was the youngest of their guards, and his father died in a battle with Orenc and others, entrusting him to Sock before he died.

All along, Sock treated him like a younger brother, taking him with him wherever he went, teaching him marksmanship and knife skills.

"Sock, it hurts!" Barr covered his face, his mouth covered in blood.

"Don't be afraid of Barr, I'm here!" Sock hugged Barr's shoulder with one hand, and pressed the wound on his face with a rag with the other, blood kept dripping down Barr's eye sockets and the corners of his mouth, and Chen Tao felt a pang in his heart when he saw it.

"Quick, get out of here!"

Balohad told everyone to retreat, and they couldn't stay any longer.

Chen Tao held the rifle in his hand tightly, his heart beating wildly, and his eyes kept scanning the darkness in the distance.

His eyes are different from ordinary people, he can see more clearly in the dark, and it seems that he also has the ability to influence people's minds like Yan, which Chen Tao has thoroughly understood, but he doesn't know how to use it yet.

The moonlight overhead was obscured by the dense canopy of trees, and only a few white spots remained, and everyone retreated step by step in the dark dense forest with torches, everyone struggling to breathe.

Giggles........

Giggles........

The strange and dense sound that was frightening and frightening sounded all around again, and it seemed to increase in number and louder, and the scalp tingled to a tingle.

Chen Tao hurriedly glanced around, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the location tracker in Ye Rong's hand, and his face changed immediately.

"Ye Rong, that red dot is moving!"

The red dot on the positioning display is moving quickly on the screen, and it looks like a small red snake that can move in the dark, and the speed is amazing.

Everyone gathered together and retreated, and a guard was walking with a gun, and suddenly there was a beating, and then the whole person fell down with a whoosh, and most of his body fell into the sand in an instant.

"Lord Barlow, save me!" The guard struggled to call for help from Balohad, his body writhing in the sand, his expression full of pain, "Something is pulling me!" ”

"Hold my hand!"

At this time, Chen Tao was the closest to the guard, and he hurriedly reached out to pull, but as soon as Chen Tao's hand touched the guard's fingertips, the half of the person's body that had been parked in the sand suddenly sank again, and he disappeared into the sand underground in an instant, and he didn't even have time to shout out a scream.

"Kumar!" Another short guard yelled at this, dropped his gun and torch, pounced on him, and began to dig in the sand with his hands, trying to pull out the guard named Kumar

"Kumar! Kumar! ”

After a few diggings, a layer of blood oozed from the sand.

"Kumar!"
