Chapter 24: Sneak Attack

Suddenly, in the silence, there was a clear sound of running water, and the passage in front of it gradually widened, and under the illumination of the headlamp, a round arched space appeared.

In the hollow of the round arch, in addition to a straight passage in front, two passages also appear on both sides. There are two complete monitor lizard skeletons lying across the floor of space.

The size of the monitor lizard can be inferred from the huge skeleton. One of the two monitor lizards is about 5 meters long, and the other is slightly smaller, and some are nearly 3 meters long.

King Peter turned on his flashlight and crouched on the ground to examine it carefully, and several other people also turned on their own light sources and searched the vicinity carefully.

"Come and see here, everyone!" Zhang Xiaohu found a dark river in a crack in a rock wall, and he hurriedly beckoned.

The crack is more than ten meters long and about seventy or eighty centimeters wide, so it's no wonder that monitor lizards appear here, and it is estimated that they crawled in along the crack.

Then they turned their lights to the dark river, and found that there was plenty of water, and the flow was very slow, and they did not know where it led.

"I met those monitor lizards here last time, and I didn't find this crack at the time." Chenyi said.

"It doesn't matter, we'll get those bones out of the way in a moment, and we'll have to keep going." Zhang Xiaohu looked at the dark river water, and fear continued to rise in his heart.

"Except for Uncle Yan, everyone else has turned off the lights!" Zhang Xiaohu suggested. As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to turn off the power when he noticed two faint fluorescent reflections in the darkness where his light was shining. He took out a piece of cold firework and threw it hard, and found that in the darkness, two gray monitor lizards were lying quietly there.

Everyone found the two monitor lizards, and they all became nervous for a while, and Yan Dacang scolded: "me!" What kind of monitor lizard is this, isn't this a dragon? No wonder he thought so, the monitor lizard's head had several thorns of different lengths, and coupled with its strange appearance, it did look a bit like a dragon.

The two monitor lizards looked at the crowd, still motionless, and did not seem to have the desire to attack.

"Have they just eaten enough? Otherwise, why don't you see us still moving? Zhao Zixuan said strangely.

"That's not right!" Chenyi questioned, the last time she saw the monitor lizard, the monitor lizard entangled her to death, she used all the bullets to escape, and King Peter also said that such a big monitor lizard, the desire to attack should be very strong, how could the current situation occur.

Soon, King Peter, who had been studying the monitor lizard's bones behind, let out a loud scream, and two other monitor lizards attacked him from the shadows, one of them biting his arm and the other biting his clothes.

Yan's gunners were quick and fired two shots in succession, both of which accurately hit the monitor lizards, but the monitor lizards had thick skin and thick flesh, and they did not stop them from continuing to attack King Peter for a while.

Zhang Xiaohu's ears were shocked by the sound of gunshots and temporarily lost his hearing, and he rushed towards the monitor lizard with a scimitar, he just ran two steps, and felt something bite his back all of a sudden, he looked up in pain, only to see that on the rock wall above him, there was also a monitor lizard, he instinctively swung the knife and slashed back, the monitor lizard raised his right forearm to block, only to see a flash of the knife, the right forearm was easily cut off and flew out, not even a trace of blood droplets.

"Good knives!" Zhang Xiaohu couldn't help but praise in his heart, and the next moment, the monitor lizard received a heavy blow, and let go of Zhang Xiaohu in pain.

Zhang Xiaohu didn't have time to check his wounds, so he jumped up and slashed at the monitor lizard's head again, as smooth as a hot knife cutting cream, and a cut of more than ten centimeters was made on the monitor lizard's head. The monitor lizard's body shook and shook, and it fell weakly from the roof of the cave.

The process only lasted more than ten seconds, but fortunately, Zhang Xiaohu kept the knife in his hand, and the monitor lizard only bit him on the back, otherwise Zhang Xiaohu would probably be fatally injured in this round of sneak attacks.

Over there, Yan Cannon had already rushed to King Peter's side, and used his bayonet to force back the monitor lizard that had bitten King Peter's arm, and at the same time fired two shots at the head of the other monitor lizard, killing the monitor lizard.

For a while, the entire cave was filled with a fishy smell. Several people noticed that more monitor lizards were crawling out of the cracks.

"Let's go, let's go!" Yan Cannon pulled up King Peter, who was covered in blood, and shouted, and he saw two more monitor lizards running towards him with their huge mouths open.

"You go first, I'll cut it off." Zhao Zixuan held a gun and kept knocking back the approaching monitor lizard.

Under his cover, the crowd retreated one by one to the passage ahead.

Zhang Xiaohu felt a hot stinging pain in his back, and a sticky liquid had wet his back, and he knew that it was his own blood.

Chen Yi took out the shotgun and replaced Zhao Zixuan, fortunately, the entrance of the cave was not big, and only one person could defend it.

Zhang Xiaohu took out a square box from his pocket, threw it to Yan Dacang, and said, "Uncle, this is a bullet!" ”

Yan Cannon took the carton and found that it contained a full hundred Mauser bullets wrapped in oiled paper, and he sighed: "You doll, why didn't you give it to me earlier!" After saying that, he quickly took out five bullets, loaded them into the gun, returned to the entrance, and replaced Chenyi.

The two men alternated shots, and soon the monitor lizard left behind a dozen corpses, all of which disappeared into the darkness. Silence returned.

Yan Cannon was still guarding the entrance of the cave, and Chen Yi came to Zhang Xiaohu's side and said hurriedly: "Take off your clothes quickly, let me see your wounds." ”

With the help of Li Yichen and Zhao Zixuan, Zhang Xiaohu took off his shirt.

"Lao Zhang! How do you feel? Zhao Zixuan was sweating profusely and said with concern.

"Senior!" Li Yichen's face was full of tears, and he looked at Zhang Xiaohu distressedly.

Zhang Xiaohu felt that his back had begun to feel numb, he forced a smile and comforted: "It's okay, don't worry, you can't die from this little injury." ”

King Peter, who was lying on the ground, said bitterly, "You don't care about me, I seem to be hurt a little more." ”

Chenyi took out a few packets of herbs from her backpack and said hurriedly: "They need to clean the wound immediately, and then quickly stop the bleeding and disinfect it, this monitor lizard should have a lot of bacteria on its teeth, if it is not treated cleanly, once it infects them, it will be troublesome." ”

"Senior, bear with me." Li Yichen opened the kettle and began to rinse Zhang Xiaohu's wound with the water inside, while Zhao Zixuan used a rope to tie King Peter's injured arm near his heart with a piece of rope according to Chenyi's request to prevent dirty blood from flowing into his body.

Zhang Xiaohu felt that the wound on his back was washed by water, and the pain doubled, but he gritted his teeth and did not let out a shout, so as not to distract Li Yichen. He was covered in cold sweat and shivered unconsciously.

"That's it! Let's just deal with it briefly! No one knows if those monitor lizards will ever reappear. Let's move on! After Zhang Xiaohu finished speaking, he was about to put on his clothes, but he found that his two arms were completely unable to exert his strength, it seemed that Chen Yi really said that he should have been poisoned, otherwise how could he have such a violent reaction. He exclaimed: "I can't move, I should be poisoned, you guys leave me alone, let's go first!" ”

King Peter smiled bitterly and said, "Don't scare me, young man! I see that you have lost too much blood and have muscle paralysis, otherwise why don't I have the reaction you said now! ”

At this time, Chen Yi had already pounded the herbs into a pulp, carefully applied them to Zhang Xiaohu's back, and said, "I think this person is right!" You'll be fine! This herb is particularly effective in stopping bleeding and reducing inflammation. You can rest in peace, we have this! After speaking, she left the bow and crossbow she was carrying to Li Yichen, and said coldly: "You take care of him here, and you are not allowed to leave half a step!" ”

Li Yichen looked helpless and said aggrievedly: "Lord Shenpo, I don't need you to say it, I will also take care of the seniors." ”

Although those monitor lizards never appeared again, everyone still felt that it was not safe to stay here, so Zhao Zixuan helped Zhang Xiaohu, and several people continued to walk deeper.
