Chapter Eighty-Five: Attack on the Camp
In terms of the speed of breath-holding swimming, I'm certainly no match for Poplar.
If he swims past and has problems, then I can't. Besides, with me taking care of him on the shore, I can help him a little bit, but if I change him on the shore, if something goes wrong, he can't do anything.
It's not about who takes the lead, it's about how to win.
Although it may seem cruel at times, it is the experience that I have gained after so much experience in the army, in exchange for human life.
Sometimes a moment of soft-heartedness can have quite dire consequences.
Yang Shu also understood what I meant, and when he mentioned Ji Ling, he had a manly backbone: "Okay, I'll come!" ”
As he spoke, he took a deep breath and was about to get into the water.
I kicked it and kicked it into the air, but I managed to stop him.
"Throw a few rocks in and see if they react to the vibrations and sounds."
Although it seems from the situation just now, this alien leech will only be attracted by yang energy, but to be on the safe side, it is better to try.
The poplar tree went down with a few stones, causing several huge splashes, but there was no reaction in the pool.
I nodded and let him go into the water, and I put out all my weapons to help him as a last resort.
When the poplar tree gets out of the water, it is like a speedboat with a full motor, rowing a white wave in the water and hitting the opposite shore.
And my heart is in my throat at the moment, lest I see him shake his body......
Fortunately, the poplar tree went all the way unhindered, reaching the opposite bank, and with a flick of the hook, the body quickly broke out of the water.
After he entered the water, I began to calculate silently, and it took about three minutes, which is not much slower than the world record, and this is still the speed of carrying a huge hiking bag, if the bag is removed, I guess this kid can go to the Olympics.
Seeing that he successfully landed on the opposite rocky shore, I did not hesitate, and swam quickly to the opposite side of the water with my breath closed.
Although my swimming style is a little ugly, but the speed is okay, but it is slow, it depends on who I compare with.
A moment later, I was under the rocky bank, grabbed the rope dropped by the poplar tree, and ran upward.
Just as I was halfway up the climb, I suddenly heard the water rolling behind me!
I was startled, and I flew up with the force of the poplar pull, clasped the edge of the stone bank with both hands, and rolled over to the stage.
Looking back, there was a sudden undercurrent in the pool, and there was a large splash with a diameter of several meters, and I don't know what was doing something underwater, the only thing I knew for sure was that it would not be those leeches.
I had a chill down my spine, wiped a handful of water from my face, and before I could even take off my wetsuit, I pulled the poplar tree and avoided the hole.
When the probe looked again, the water surface gradually returned to calm.
The two of us looked at each other, and we both saw the fear in each other's eyes, and the depths of this toad cellar were indeed full of dangers.
After a short break, we continued deeper into the cave, and soon there was a human voice from a large cavern in front of us, but it was in Japanese, and no one could understand what was being said.
I pressed the poplar on the shoulder and told him to wait where he was, and I crept over to the hole to take a closer look.
In front of it was a small cave near the water, with two fires built in it, some field equipment piled up next to the fires, and several tents not far away, four men and a woman were warming up around one of the bonfires.
It was one of the men who spoke, looking at the clothes, it should be the leader or something.
Not far from them, seven or eight large griffins were napping, and human bones could be seen on the ground.
This should be the camp of the little devil's exploration team, but I didn't see the Onmyoji, nor did I find any trace of Ji Ling, it is very likely that it is in the tent, judging from the vacancy of another bonfire, they may still have some people in the camp.
But I noticed that on a boulder not far from the tent was a white cloth rope the thickness of an arm, and on the rope hung some bells and yellow and red charms, and something origami-like, which stood out in spite of the darkness of the fire.
Enchantment!
This is exactly the handiwork of the Onmyoji.
In the impression of ordinary people, similar things only appear in places such as Japanese shrines, and the ropes are mostly hemp rope and straw rope, which is called Zhu Lian Rope, and the origami hanging on it is called a paper hanging, which is used to protect and pray for blessings.
In fact, the incarnation rope originated from the onmyoji's enchantment rope, but compared with the ordinary incarnation rope, the enchantment rope used by the onmyoji is more delicate and complex, and there are more changes, because the effect is different, and the specific knotting method is also very different.
According to my observations, most of the information in front of me is the "letter enchantment", which is the enchantment that can cause the onmyoji to be alerted if an outsider or an alien intrudes, and because of the breath traction, this is better than any alarm.
Without knowing the scope of the barrier, I didn't dare to trespass, so I turned back to the poplar and explained the situation.
Poplar asked me what to do.
I said that it is not impossible to touch the past without arousing the vigilance of the Onmyoji, but to get the breath of these people.
Everyone has their own unique aura like a fingerprint, and the onmyoji will contain these breaths when setting up the enchantment, and they will not cause a reaction when they enter and exit the enchantment, and the red and yellow spells on the golden rope play this role.
It's easy to want their breath, just get their close-fitting clothes, the question is how to get it.
The strength of these people is not strong, and two of them are still wandering at the entrance of the Xuan Realm, but we can't make a noise to attract them.
Otherwise, they are wary, and even if we take one or two of them, the others will raise a warning when they see that they have been out for a long time.
Helplessly, we had to wait and try our luck in the hole, because I smelled a hint of urine, and apparently they were often here for convenience.
After waiting for half an hour, one of them got up and said, "You guys, I'll go and make it easier." ”
This person spoke Chinese, but when I heard her movements, we were both a little confused, so that I couldn't die, it was actually the lady in the team.
The poplar and I hid in the hollows on either side of the cave, and listened intently as the girl walked in.
Just as she walked into the hole and untied her belt and was about to squat, Yang Shu quietly stepped up and slapped her on the main artery of her neck, and the fainting caused by abnormal blood pressure in an instant would last for a long time, and it was not easy to wake up.
But then it was our turn to get bored, and we wanted her underwear......
Poplar raised an eyebrow at me and pushed the man to me.
I understand what he means is that you are a veteran of this kind of thing, you come.
I just want to curse......
Okay, I'll come, I'll come.
I quickly took off her shirt, and there was a velvet jacket inside, which was also close to the body and could be used.
But the thing is, we need two pieces.
Got the velvet coat off, and it was called a choppy, and very turbulent red hood with transparent lace.
Okay, the hood is better than the slat.
After getting his hands on it, Poplar snatched the velvet jacket with good elasticity and put it on his body.
I was dumbfounded with the red hood, looking at the triumphant poplar tree, and my teeth almost clenched.
How does this make Lao Tzu wear, is it on the body, or on the top?
In desperation, I tied it around my waist.
But no matter how you look at it, it still looks like a pervert!
I didn't care that Poplar was snickering there, and put my coat back on the girl, and pulled out her belt and tied her up.
It's not that I'm kind and afraid that she will freeze, but I'm afraid that we'll wake her up before we can do it.
As for killing, we won't kill indiscriminately, not to mention that she still looks like a native of her own people.
After doing this, I happened to see the two of them get up and leave, and entered a cave passage opposite, and there were only two people left by the fire.
Such a good opportunity, we naturally won't miss it, immediately take away our own breath, with the "ID card" taken from the woman's body, slowly touched the periphery of the camp, the enchantment is not intelligent, I don't care if you divide one breath into two parts, we smoothly bypassed those napping griffins, and came to the edge of the tent.
Relying on the fact that there was still some distance from the fire, the two of us quickly checked the tent from behind, and sure enough, in one of the tents, we found Ji Ling, who was tied hand and foot with his mouth gagged, and Yang Shu was so excited that he almost made a sound.
I waved him to take the man away.
But as soon as I turned around, I happened to catch a glimpse of a person coming by the fire!
My heart tightened, and I took Ji Ling, who was trembling with excitement, into my hand.
Poplar naturally understood what I meant.
Before the man could notice the anomaly, he rushed out and punched him in the temple.
Although the poplar was fast and his shot was light, the sound still woke up the people beside the fire, and they stood up and shouted, "Who is it!" ”
Poplar didn't give him a chance to say a second word, knocking him out almost at the same time as the voice sounded.
We hurriedly dragged these two guys into the tent and tied them up.
Now there are no others in the camp for the time being, and I pulled the plug from Ji Ling's mouth, but she was about to cry as soon as her face collapsed.
Fortunately, Lao Tzu reacted quickly, and before she could cry, he plugged her again.
This action may have been a little rough, making Yang Shu glaring at me angrily, and Ji Ling looked confused.
I rolled my eyes and lowered my voice: "I don't have time to make you cry, so when no one comes back, hurry up and ask about the situation." ”
I pricked up my ears and guarded Ji Ling as I untied him.
As soon as she let go of her hands and feet, she threw herself into the arms of the poplar tree: "I know you will come, I know ......"
"Don't talk nonsense, you have to linger and turn around and open a house, and now explain their situation to me."
Such a bad scenery can only be me, Ji Ling was forced by me to have no time to sprinkle dog food, and explained the other party's situation clearly.
There are only three little devils in the opposing team, and the others are local employees, and their specific identities are ominous.
But these two are not good birds just now after we knocked them out, and they wanted to do something to her, and they even ate people!
My suspicion was confirmed, the corpses stored by Ujumaji were for the two or three little devils to eat, and most of them were food for the griffons, and they didn't get here, probably because the cellar was more suitable for storage. And the two people who were knocked out by us didn't know where they came from, and they licked their faces to join in the fun, and asked the little devil for a "barbecue".
I didn't say a word, and directly twisted the necks of the two.
Then I heard Ji Ling say that those people already knew that we were coming, and they were speeding up the work, just in the cave passage opposite, I don't know what they were doing, but they obviously didn't expect us to come so quickly.
What's more, among them, the status of the three little devils is obviously the highest, and one of them is the leader who is called Watanabe Takashi in a hunting suit, and there is no doubt that he should be an onmyoji. Another was armed with a Japanese sword and appeared to be a kendo master, and the other was a domesticated griffin, a part-time translator who was responsible for conveying Watanabe's instructions to several local employees who did not speak the language.
I understand that the other party must be digging up the so-called Nine Shades of Feng Shui.
If there is only one Onmyoji, it shouldn't be difficult for me to deal with it while he is unprepared.
"Yang Shu, you send Ji Ling out, Lao Tzu will play with them one by one."
"No......"
"What's not going to work, have you forgotten the oracle of Anshaman? Are you willing to give up your little liver? ”
Ji Ling definitely can't stay, even if he doesn't care about An Shaman's oracle, there are many people on the other side, once the fight starts, there is no time to take care of her, and although this cave is deep and long, it is not complicated, and it is impossible to hide her if you want to.
Yang Shu hesitated, but he still had confidence in me: "Okay, then you pay more attention, if you can't do it, you will flash people first." ”
I smiled: "Go ahead, don't worry." ”
