Chapter 151: Besieged
The area of this stone slab seems to be quite small, and it is roughly estimated that it is about two or three hundred square meters.
My eyes became unusually solemn, and now it seemed that I was almost about to reach my destination this time.
There is definitely a large tomb hidden on this mountain, and it is definitely not the tomb of the prince we explored before.
The tomb of the prince we explored before is far from here, and the direction of the tomb gate is to the east, even if it is to build bluestone slabs or pave roads on this mountain, it should not go so far.
"We should be very close, and the bluestone slabs that appear here may be used to press the tomb."
Qian Lao stared at the compass, then slowly glanced at the stone slab under his feet, and his eyes suddenly brightened.
However, in contrast, the vigilance in my heart is great, and according to the current situation, I am afraid that this time the danger will far exceed the previous danger.
Before they even went down to the tomb, they had already lost two people, and now there were 28 people left in the whole team.
This is because the strange snakes who don't know what they are may have retreated because they were frightened by the crossbows, otherwise we would have lost more people.
"Old man Qian, let's see if we can find the entrance to the tomb near here."
Tang Mian had been staring at the ground since he had just begun, and only then did he raise his head and speak slowly.
All things are gathered on Qian Lao's body, in this circle, Qian Lao's feng shui skills can also be regarded as first-class, and the people gathered this time are more or less famous in the circle, and they are naturally aware of this.
"You need to take another look, little brother Li, you can try it too."
Qian Lao stared at the compass tightly, and as he spoke, I also took out the feng shui compass passed down from my ancestors.
My eyes were firmly fixed on the eight directions of the octagonal compass, and according to Qian Lao's inference, I had already distinguished the Xun position of the gossip, and after matching the hexagrams on the compass, my eyes were also around, and I thought silently in my heart.
There are no characteristic signs around this area except for the bluestone slabs on the ground, and it is because of the bluestone slabs that an empty area has been cleared out of this vicinity.
I looked around for more than ten minutes, but I didn't find anything to show for it.
"Found it." When I stared at the compass closely, Qian Lao slowly stared, spoke, and then walked in the direction in front of me.
I followed closely behind Qian Lao, scanning the compass in my hand while looking at the surrounding scene.
I have to say that Jiang is still old and spicy, and when he didn't find any clues, Qian Lao had already found a burial place that matched the feng shui.
I was about to say something when suddenly the hairs on my body stood on end, and an unusually familiar voice rang out.
The voice was a little sharp, and it seemed somewhat familiar.
"It's not good, get down!"
I let out a wild scream in an instant, and the whole person quickly crawled down, clinging to the ground.
The moment I lay down, I immediately saw a linear mass of objects passing through my head.
The thing was extremely fast, like an arrow, piercing directly into the side of the mountain wall.
I quickly pulled out the compound crossbow that was in the side pocket of the package, and the thing that had been copied out flew with an arrow.
I lay on the ground, slowly twisting my head, and then, my gaze narrowed, and there was a terrifying feeling.
All the people were lying on the ground, so I could look far away, and I could see the trees behind me from a distance, and I don't know when, there were snakes hanging on the trees behind me.
I don't know how the snake hung from the tree, and its whole body was like a spring, which was glued to the tree like a scraper.
The muscles on the surface of these snakes appear to be very tight, and they all seem to be in a state of accumulation.
Then there was a clicking sound from the snakes, some shrill and sharp, like the sound of a spring locking.
That's what we've heard before, and since it's not very common, I didn't think about what it was when I didn't see the snake.
At this time, there were more than a dozen such strange snakes hanging on the trees.
And it seems that their snake heads can adjust the direction of the ejection, which makes my throat involuntarily stalk.
If these snakes were all hit, it was estimated that they would take six or seven people away.
At this point, the heads of these snakes have adjusted to the position where the ground is, and these snakes may have discovered the direction we are in.
"Fire!"
Qian Lao lay on the ground and quickly gave an order, and then everyone's guns and crossbows were touched in an instant.
The noisy sound of fire instantly resounded in this area, in this case, it was necessary to strike first, and if these things really moved, it would not be easy to hit!
Twenty-eight ranged weapons quickly shot at the snake in front of them.
The crossbow arrows we chose among us were all very high-end crossbows, not only more powerful, but also capable of firing continuously.
Everyone's arrows shot out like hell.
Now these snakes are all coiled together, so they are much easier to hit than the normal state of scurrying.
So many arrows were attacking in the direction of the snakes as if they didn't want money, and many snakes died almost instantly.
Sou!
However, at this moment, there is still such a fish that has slipped through the net, penetrating from the blind spot that we can't see!
It was so fast that it landed on the man who wasn't far from me almost instantly.
I could clearly see that the snake only pierced the horns of its head into the man's body, not too much, but the man's face became swollen red in an instant, and then without saying a word, his pupils dilated.
I was shocked that I hadn't examined the body of the snake nailed to death because I was wary of these strange snakes that had come out of nowhere, and now it seems that this person was not dead and pierced by snakes.
There should be a very violent speed on the horns of this snake, which can kill people in an instant.
This toxicity is more toxic than highly toxic chemical poisons, and high-purity highly toxic cyanide can be lethal in seconds, and the toxicity carried by these sharp horns is probably no worse than this, and may even be stronger!
After finally cleaning up all the snakes, he slowly stood up.
At this time, the tree was full of arrows and bullet holes.
In the case of my arrows, there are enough to hold ten of them, and the one hanging from them is eleven.
Twenty of the twenty-eight of us were armed with composite crossbows, and in that moment we had fired more than a hundred arrows.
"Everybody go pick up the arrows!"
Tang Mian spoke slowly, and everyone immediately stood up from the ground and walked towards the tree.
Arrows have to stand in more places than bullets, so everyone has a limited number of arrows, anyway, I only have 40 arrows in my package, and I have a hundred steel balls on the side.
However, the steel ball can only be used to play a role in pulling at most, and the power to hit the bird is okay, and it is obviously unreliable to deal with some larger animals.
To really cause damage, it still depends on arrows, so for arrows, it needs to be used quite sparingly.
When I shot these strange snakes for the first time, I didn't take back the arrows because I had to guard the surroundings, and the whole team had wasted about a dozen arrows at that time.
The next thing can no longer be wasted.
"Everyone, be careful, these snakes have poisonous horns, and they are highly venomous and can be fatal in a matter of seconds, don't touch them at will!"
I spoke slowly, and as I spoke, everyone's eyes froze, and the pace of walking forward froze.
Immediately, many people took a second look, and this time the only person in the team who was stabbed to death had turned blue, which was indeed a symptom of being poisoned.
"This poison is so violent, it can make people scream, and they can kill people before they have time to send it out!"
When Tang Mian spoke, his voice was a little astringent, and his voice was not too coherent, obviously he was also shocked by this poison.
But vigilance is vigilance, and some people still slowly walk in the direction of these trees full of arrows.
I followed the team closely, and there were seven or eight of my arrows pierced into the tree.
All the arrows in the compound crossbow are to be placed in the magazine, not all arrows are of the same size, only some of them can be used.
By the time most of us had reached the tree, which was riddled with crossbow arrows, my eyes were fixed on the snakes crucified to the tree.
At this moment, I could see these snakes in front of me in more detail.
In the sunlight, the horns of these snakes could be clearly seen reflecting something resembling a cold light.
In addition to this, the scales of these snakes also seem to be somewhat different, compared to the scales of ordinary snakes, the scales on the body of these snakes are very small and fine, and seem to be born for flexibility.
And I can faintly see that the snake is full of power, and from a tree on the side, I can clearly see an almost circular trace, which is about half a centimeter embedded in it.
No wonder this thing is so fast!
In an instant, I knew how the traces on the tree had been left behind, probably due to the sheer force of the snakes when they took off.
The strength of this snake alone can leave such a deep mark on the tree, no wonder the speed is so fast!
But with a little amazement, I was already putting away the arrows I had fired.
I shot seven arrows, which were a bit shorter than normal ones, which was also for ease of carrying, and because of this, my arrows fired faster than theirs.
