Chapter 086: Bloodstained Cliffs

Sometimes I feel that my personality is a little weird, and now I feel uncomfortable in the dark, but sometimes I especially like to sit alone in a dark place.

Later, this different mentality was attributed to the environment and mood in which I lived, and now that there is a crisis, of course I don't like the dark, and all the dangers are hidden in the dark, which makes me feel like a thorn in my back. You can relax when you have nothing to do in your spare time, but you are very comfortable in the dark and quiet. The two are completely different.

However, the tension brought about by the darkness at this time also gave me a keen sense of observation and insight, which made my body senses extremely sensitive, which is also the reason why I was able to discover and avoid danger again and again.

When we reached a height of nearly five hundred meters, Qixing and I noticed something wrong at the same time, and subconsciously we looked at each other at the same time.

From each other's eyes, I knew that Seven Stars and I had found the same thing, and we both smelled blood.

We both got nervous, and it was weird and even a little unreasonable to smell blood in this half-suspended place.

We stopped where we were, Seven Stars looking around with their guns in hand, and pricked up their ears to listen to the movement around us. I took a few deep breaths back and forth to determine where the smell of blood was coming from. Just as I was looking around, my eyes were suddenly attracted by a sudden discovery.

"Doctor! Look here. I whispered and hurried to summon the Seven Stars and pointed to the stone wall in front of me for her to see.

In the crevices of the stone walls beneath our feet, I saw something unusual dark brown. The black-brown color goes up in a straight line, and if you don't look closely, it's easy to overlook.

That's the mark of blood from above!

In order to confirm, Qixing sniffed closer, and then said to me with certainty: "That's right, it's blood!" ”

Surprised, I held up my flashlight and looked up at the trail of blood that had turned dark brown. Through searching, we found several traces of blood flowing down the stone crevices. When I looked up again, the flashlight disappeared into the darkness, and I couldn't see the upward movement anymore.

Looks like something must have happened up there!

I asked Qixing to stay where I was for the time being, and I went up to see the situation first. When the seven stars were ready, I activated the rope climber on my waist again. This time I turned the ascent to the slowest and kept it quiet and walked up step by step.

The higher you go, the more traces of blood you find, from the very beginning to the line, and slowly turn into a black-brown color. I wiped my fingers on the stone wall, and it was sticky and still in a liquid state.

Rubbing my hand on my clothes, I tightened my grip on my gun and put my body back into a state of readiness. Judging by the amount of blood that was being bled on the stone wall, something terrible must have happened above.

After walking more than ten meters upward, under the light of the flashlight, I vaguely saw a black hole a few meters away, and I immediately stopped moving forward and carefully observed the situation around the cave entrance.

After I distanced five meters from Seven Stars, Seven Stars followed. She controlled her speed and stayed within five meters of me, and she stopped as soon as I stopped.

Enduring the smell of blood that was particularly strong in my nose, I saw the blood on the wall at the edge of the hole coming out of the hole. I gave Seven Stars a sign language to discover my target, and when I got a response, I continued to move upwards.

Closer, see more clearly. It was a small hole, a bit like a triangular shape, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and it was not dug by man from the outside, it was completely natural.

I guess I had to crouch to get in, and it was through this hole that our rope came out.

Looks like this hole is the way the gang just came in! The bloodstains must have something to do with the guys, but I can't guess what happened in the cave to shed so much blood.

Now hanging in the air, the body's mobility is very limited, let alone being able to outflank, and it can't be moved left and right.

I feel that the situation is very unfavorable for us, and we can't even dodge if we encounter any danger. Courage to keep going up the cave to see what was in there.

As I approached the hole, the length of the rope was no longer enough to support me to step on the stone wall, so I simply let go of my feet and let my body hang naturally on the rope, allowing the rope climber to carry me up.

This kind of body out of my control is what I hate the most, as if my life has been handed over to someone else, and I hope to get out of this rope that I can't rest in my mind as soon as possible.

Now that I'm stuck to the stone wall, I use my left hand and toe to support it slightly, trying to keep a little distance from the stone wall. Because the walls were covered in blood, the slimy was very eye-catching. Especially when I smell the smell, I feel like my stomach is churning, and when I can't help it, I hold my breath for a while to feel better.

Finally my eyes crossed the edge of the hole, and the moment the flashlight shone into the hole, my heart throbbed, and then my heart beat violently, and even my breathing became extremely rapid.

What caught my eye was a corpse lying on its stomach and lying on my stomach, just a few dozen centimeters from the edge of the hole. And the death of this corpse was extremely terrifying, with a bloody wound on his neck, a bloody wound the size of a bowl, a shocking piece of blood red, and his head was gone.

I was stunned for half a minute before I came back to my senses, it was the first time I had seen such a horrific corpse so closely, and the visual shock was almost impossible to express in words.

In terms of size, the deceased was male, and his clothing and equipment were exactly the same as those of the previous group. His hands were bent and clinging to his sides, and the gun was still in his hands. Judging from the fact that there are no bullet casings around, it is believed that the person died without firing a shot.

The most terrible thing was the wound on his neck, the cervical vertebrae, muscles, and blood vessels were all piercing, and the blood flowed out of his neck cavity.

With such a large wound, it is no wonder that there are so many blood stains on the stone wall outside, it is like opening a big hole in the person's body, and it is estimated that half of the blood in the person's body has been released from here.

I only had to look at the wound a few times to conclude that this man's head had been pulled off alive!

The rope was fixed to the wall to the right of the hole, and I looked into the hole, but found no one else, so I climbed to the edge of the hole with one foot and plunged into the hole.

I untied the rope climber on my waist and shone deeper into the hole, and not far away I was around the bend, and I couldn't see anything deeper.

Although my mind was terrified, I was clear-headed. This man died a strange death, and I'm going to let Seven Stars come in and take a look.

Squatting against the wall at the edge of the hole, I leaned out to say hello to Seven Stars, who soon climbed up along the rope.

When I saw Qixing approaching, I reached out to pull her up, but suddenly Qixing suddenly looked up with a shocked expression on his face.

I was shocked and asked, "What's wrong?" As he spoke, he looked out of the cave and looked up.

At the same time, Seven Stars fired, and the loud sound of gunfire rang in my ears. Seven Stars almost pulled the trigger, and tongues of fire erupted from the muzzle of the gun lit up the surroundings.

By the light of the jumping fire, I saw a behemoth above climbing down the rock, moving very fast. Probably hurt by Seven Stars' bullets, the monster turned around, dodged the muzzle of Seven Stars' guns sideways, and pounced on Seven Stars again in a circle.

That monster was snow-white and had a little red on it, and it was the little Night Emperor I had already met twice.

I didn't expect this thing to be able to move so quickly on the vertical stone wall, so I reached out again in a hurry and shouted to Qixing, "Come in!" A gun can't kill it. ”

Today, I know how vengeful the Night Emperor is, and since he has suffered three or two losses with us, he has never given up tracking us. Especially for me, I guess the hatred has gone deep into the bone marrow.

When I saw this Little Night Emperor, I immediately understood how this corpse in the cave died!

In fact, from the posture of the corpse I saw in the cave just now, I had a rough judgment.

The dead man should be the backup of the previous team who stayed here, and the purpose of his stay here should be to protect the rope on this retreat road.

I guess he must have heard movement outside the cave before he was killed, so he poked his head out of the cave to check, but he certainly didn't expect the killer to hide directly above him from such a high place.

I've fought with this Little Night Emperor a few times, and I already know its attack routines very well, basically relying on sneak attacks. It deliberately made a noise to lure the man in, and then attacked from behind, pulling off the opponent's head with brute force. This is also the reason why the corpse's hands remain bent and close to their sides even after death.

I recreated what had happened in my mind, and I could even reproduce the man's movements as he lay on the ground and looked down.

Feng Jiutian's judgment was right, the Night Emperor had a high IQ, although it couldn't catch up with humans, it could also make it do something higher than that of beasts, and even it could make enough understanding of some things.

For example, it has a deep understanding of guns, after all, it has suffered several times under the gun, so when it sees this kind of thing that will fire and make loud noises, it will become cautious.

This time, the Little Night Emperor just became smarter, as soon as he heard the gunshot, he immediately gave up the straight rush and changed to a roundabout, plus it moved quickly, and immediately made half of the bullets of the Seven Stars empty.

Seeing that Qixing didn't respond to me, I anxiously greeted her again. It wasn't until a shuttle of bullets was fired and forced the Little Night Emperor to retreat that Seven Stars stretched out his hand to me.

I grabbed it and pulled it upwards with all my might. Staying outside now is the most dangerous, as long as the Little Night Emperor is close, no one can dodge its brute force attacks. Unless you jump from such a height! But that's no different from suicide.

Seven Stars was very light, and with my hard pull, her upper body had already entered the hole. But when she suddenly saw the headless corpse, she was startled unprepared, and her body naturally reacted backwards and hid. The strength of the two of us was compared, and there was a stalemate for a moment.

After a pause of two seconds, the Little Night Emperor outside had already bullied closer, it hung above the entrance of the cave with a strange scream, stretched out its long arm and grabbed it on Qixing's backpack, and then used brute force to drag Qixing out of the cave.

With an exclamation, Qixing's body soared into the air, and half of his body that had just entered the cave was ripped out again. I grabbed her hand and felt a tremendous pull forward, and even I swooped forward.
