Chapter 5: The Mysterious Cave
Seeing that he was about to hit the cliff, An Dong subconsciously closed his eyes tightly, not daring to look.
He was gambling, gambling with his life.
If you win the bet, everyone is happy.
The bet was lost, and his life was lost.
"Crackling"
The heavy impact was followed by a crisp sound of metal falling to the ground.
The unbearable pain instantly swept through An Dong's body, as if it was about to fall apart.
Slowly opened his eyes, An Dong's excitement was difficult to express.
He won this gamble at the cost of his life!
At this time, Andong had already entered the interior of the cliff, lying on a pile of scattered bones and metal armor.
The skeleton has a peculiar pattern, pale blue in color, feels sturdy in the hand, and is extremely heavy.
An Dong was unable to identify what species left these bones from, and it is estimated that the skeletons were quite large in size during their lifetime.
In addition to these bones, there are also strange metal armor scattered on the ground, which seems to be what this skeleton was wearing before it died.
An Dong struggled to sit up, saw the scene at the entrance of the cave, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
The interior of this cave is really not small, but the entrance of the cave is extremely small, and if An Dong deviates a little, he will crash headlong into the hard rock wall and fall into the abyss.
"Thank God, I finally picked up a life and came back." An Dong moved the joints of his whole body, grinned in pain, and thought of it happily for the rest of his life.
"Ahh After moving the joints, An Dong got up and wanted to see the situation in the cave. As soon as he turned around, he saw a man sitting in the depths of the cave, facing him, and he screamed in fright.
Finding that there were people in the cave, An Dong pulled out the dagger on his waist as quickly as possible, made a defensive posture, and stared at the other party with all his attention.
After pulling the stance, seeing that the other party did not react, An Dong moved forward cautiously, and finally saw the appearance of the other party clearly.
The other party was not a living person at all, and it was just a humanoid skeleton like the beast bone on the ground.
It's just that the clothes on this skeleton remain intact, and the light in the cave is dim, which makes An Dong have an illusion.
"Lowly human, I won't let you escape! I'm so! Just as Andong wanted to step forward to investigate the skeleton, Alex's thunderous roar came from outside the cave.
Halfway up the mountain, Alex tracked the aura left by An Dong all the way, and led his men to break into the territory of the fierce beast that resembled both a lion and a tiger.
Andong didn't know the name of the beast, but Alex knew it.
This is a lion and tiger splitting mountain beast, although it is not like the name, it can split the mountain with two claws, but it has four claws that are as strong and sharp as steel, enough to crack the stone, the strength is terrifying, and the temperament is fierce, it is really not easy to provoke.
Unbeknownst to An Dong, he had strayed into the territory of the Lion Tiger Splitting Mountain Beast, and had succeeded in angering it while it was resting.
After failing to catch An Dong, the Lion Tiger Splitting Mountain Beast was depressed, and Alex and they broke in, so could it still spare these intruders?
As soon as he jumped, the Lion Tiger Splitting Mountain Beast pounced on a human slave guard with full body armor, and with a simple front paw, it tore through the hard armor on the opponent's chest, and the flesh and blood were blurred, which was unbearable to see. The slave guard didn't even say a word, and was trampled to death by it.
As soon as Alex saw that the Lion Tiger Splitting Mountain Beast was going crazy, he raised his knife and slashed at it, and he was about to kill the beast on the spot.
He knew in his heart that the lion tiger splitting mountain beast that was mad at the sight of blood was not easy to deal with.
Escape? It's impossible.
Only by fighting hard and killing the opponent here can he get rid of the opponent's endless pursuit.
A man-beast war, the intensity can be imagined.
In the end, Alex lost more than a dozen of his men, and he was also injured by the ferocious Lion Tiger Splitting Mountain Beast before he managed to kill the other party.
The price paid is not small.
Alex, who was familiar with the terrain, thought he would be able to catch the human resisters who had fled into the area as soon as he reached the top of the mountain.
However, when he came to the top of the mountain, he didn't even see a single figure.
Alex, who was holding back the fire in his belly, waved the giant war knife in his hand and smashed a boulder on the top of the mountain, venting the anger in his heart.
After the catharsis, Alex suddenly noticed that there were some fine wood chips scattered in the weeds.
These sawdust are left behind when Andong was making gliders.
Because of the urgency of time, he just picked up the large pieces of wood chips and threw them into the cliff with his equipment, and he really didn't have time to deal with these small wood chips, so he could only cover them up a little and scatter them in the weeds.
I didn't expect Alex to be so careful.
Picking up a few small pieces of sawdust, Alex came to the cliff and thought for a moment.
At this time, he could be sure that An Dong did not fall off the cliff and die.
Letting a vile and lowly human rebel slip out of his grasp, Alex was furious and roared at the mist-shrouded depths of the abyss.
An Dong hid in the hole in the opposite rock wall, and heard it clearly.
He raised his guard and hid at the entrance of the cave to watch the top of the cliff opposite.
I saw Alex, a tall man in pitch-black armor.
"Unexpectedly, even the owner of the property came out to chase him in person, and they really looked up to me!" An Dong couldn't help but gasp, and thought of it in fear.
In fact, Alex knew that the human resisters he was chasing were just "outsiders" who had nothing to do with the people he was chasing before.
If he knew this, he would not have given up on the other few fleeing resisters, and would have violated the limits to enter this strange borderland, and chase after An Dong relentlessly.
After lingering at the top of the cliff for a long time, Alex was sure that the resisters he was pursuing must have fled from the cliff and somehow escaped into the ravine.
After confirming this, Alex stared fiercely at the canyon under his feet for a long time before turning away resentfully.
An Dong hid in the cave, trying to keep it as quiet as possible, not daring to make any moves, for fear of alarming the enemy.
Seeing the enemy leaving, An Dong leaned his back against the rock wall and breathed a sigh of relief.
The enemy left, and the danger was temporarily alleviated.
When the mind is relaxed, the feeling of fatigue instantly hits the whole body.
An Dong didn't bother to pay attention to the humanoid bones in the cave, briefly treated the wound on his shoulder, and fell asleep groggily against the stone wall.
After sleeping for a long time, An Dong was woken up by this piercing hissing.
At this time, it was pitch black inside the cave, and I couldn't see my fingers.
The hissing sound came from the entrance of the cave and reached An Dong's ears.
Listening to the red-eared hissing of that sound made An Dong shudder a little.
Just as Andong was about to get up and go to the entrance of the cave to observe and determine what kind of beast these neighing beasts were from, the roar was everywhere, just like the galloping of ten thousand horses and the passage of the flood peak, and the whole cave trembled.
"What the hell is going on out there?" With the help of the faint light coming in from the entrance of the cave, An Dong came to the entrance of the cave step by step, observing the situation outside.
Tonight, the clouds are thick and the stars are sparse, and the light is dim.
Through the hole, you can't see it very really.
So, An Dong grabbed a bulge on the stone wall at the entrance of the cave with his hand and stuck his head out.
"Vomit"
As soon as An Dong poked his head out, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which made him, an "old soldier" who had been accustomed to the smell of blood in a hundred battles, a little unbearable, and almost vomited.
Fortunately, Andong is tired these days, and there is really no extra food in his stomach, so he goes to waste it.
After withdrawing his head, An Dong's brows furrowed, and he kept thinking about what was going on outside.
"Weird, everything here is so weird!"
The only thing An Dong can be sure of at this time is that the roars of those beasts that he heard on the outskirts of the Gangfeng Belt yesterday were transmitted under such circumstances.
Listen to the bare-eared roars of the beasts outside, feel the trembling from the cave beneath your feet, and face the endless darkness.
At this time, An Dong couldn't do anything, and he couldn't do anything.
Time passed little by little, and as the sky grew brighter, the manic beasts outside finally regained their calm.
The morning light finally broke through the darkness and shone into the cave.
On this night, An Dong barely closed his eyes.
In such a strange place, An Dong really can't rest in peace, danger can happen at any time, and he must always be vigilant.
When the first rays of sunlight shone into the cave, An Dong's heart, which had been hanging all night, finally let go.
"The wound is no longer bleeding, and as long as there are three or two more days, you can move freely." An Dong moved his injured shoulder, looked at the scene outside the cave and recovered, and thought in his heart.
"The next step is to find a way out of here. Looking at the look on the owner when he left yesterday, it seems that he did not give up, and he needs to be careful in his actions in the future. After eating a piece of synthetic food and supplementing it with enough protein and carbohydrates, Andong began to think about his next move.
It's too early to leave, and his injuries haven't healed yet. Besides, it's not a wise move for him to go out now, in case yesterday's enemy is outside and waits for himself, wouldn't it be self-defeating to go out at this time?
Idle, An Dong suddenly remembered the humanoid skeleton in the cave.
"Before I go out, shouldn't I have explored everything in this secret cave?"
An Dong came to the skeleton sitting on the stone platform, and thought curiously.
