Chapter 150: Vigilance
Qin Feng slowly stood still, vigilantly surrounding the surroundings. 【】
My face was equally ugly, and the sound came from not just one direction, but from all directions.
It's as if we're already surrounded by something.
The danger in the west is far greater than that in the east, and there is no particularly evil thing encountered, and no tomb has been found, just a snake that looks ordinary can easily take a person's life.
I don't know what it will be this time!
"Be careful!" Qian Lao's cloudy eyes slowly scanned the surrounding jungle, holding up the compound crossbow in his hand.
"All of them are back to back, forming a circle, and all the crossbow arrows and guns are all around!"
As soon as Qian Lao's words fell, Tang Mian next to Qian Lao let out a low roar, and the moment he opened his mouth to speak, all the people immediately reacted and quickly gathered towards the center.
The whole team formed into a circle, aiming their guns and compound crossbows outside.
Such a formation can not only serve as a guard in all directions around it, but also minimize the accidental damage of these ranged weapons to one's own people.
As time passed, the little noise around them became louder and louder, and the grass around them shook rapidly.
I'm afraid that the sound we hear of the leaves swaying should be from the shaking of the grass, and the shrill sound mixed with it should be what is hidden behind the grass.
But when I think about it, I don't think about what it is.
The sound was getting louder and louder, everyone's whole body was tense, the bowstring in our minds was already tightened, and if something came out, then we would pull the trigger as soon as possible.
"Whoosh!"
In the next moment, suddenly there was a sound of breaking the air from somewhere, and then a black shadow was seen rushing out.
"Be careful!"
I let out a low snort.
The direction in which this dark shadow pierced was our half of the circle, and it wasn't too far from my position.
It was a long black strip all over, and it wasn't too big, and I didn't know what it was, but I still subconsciously pulled the trigger.
I've let go of this arrow!
It was too small, and it was too fast, to hit.
My arrow just grazed the skin of this thing, and it didn't hit directly.
It's not just me, but no one in the circle around us hits.
That thing literally landed on the second person I counted from left to right.
Out of the corner of my gaze, I saw a flower of blood blooming on the man's chest.
The man didn't make a sound, as if choked on something, and fell to the ground.
I didn't care to see what it was, I just stared closely at the direction it was rushing into, and judging by the sound, there was definitely more than one bush in the grass.
I kept my eyes as wide as I could, trying to get my eyes used to the speed and size of the thing.
According to the speed of this thing, if you don't let the speed of your eyeballs and reaction keep up with the speed of that thing, then you can only helplessly watch our people die step by step.
I gradually held my breath, trying to keep my heartbeat as calm as possible, and kept my ears tightly pricked up as I listened to everything around me.
All of them were the same, each staring closely around them, with an expression of the face of a great enemy.
"Whoosh!"
The familiar sound of breaking the air sounded again, and then I saw a black shadow shuttling through the grass, and it jumped out in an instant.
"There!"
The shadow came out of the grass, and I don't know who let out a shout, and after the last time I got used to it, it seemed that I was able to see some of it this time.
As I calmed down, my hands became unusually steady, and I half-squinted my eyes and suddenly touched the trigger the next moment.
The arrow burst through the air in an instant, piercing the body of the thing in front of him with extraordinary precision.
This time, it wasn't just me, but many other people hit the thing, and the thing immediately veered in the other direction and landed on the ground.
At this moment, the sound of the surrounding jungle stopped abruptly, as if nothing had happened.
There was no sound around us except for the sound of our breathing.
I don't know when, the sound of birds and beasts around has completely disappeared, and even the sound of the wind is not much.
It was as if the whole mountain of creatures had died, and we were the only ones left, and the sound of each other's breaths proved that we were alive.
But even so, the formation of the team did not disperse, and they still looked around vigilantly.
I was holding a compound crossbow, my arm was already a little sore, and more than ten minutes had passed at this time, and there was still no movement around, which couldn't help but make people feel a little chilled.
"Don't wait, everyone stays in formation and moves in the predetermined direction!"
After another five minutes, nothing happened, and then Qian Lao let out a roar.
This mountain is full of dangers, it is really not suitable for staying for a long time, and at this juncture, it has just gone up the mountain, and it is obviously unreliable to go back, so you can only go forward.
My gaze slowly fixed on the ground that had been hit by me.
The thing had been pierced by the arrow at the moment, and it was motionless, and when I saw it, I had a feeling of horror.
It looked like a snake, but it had a sharp spine on its forehead, which should be about two centimeters long.
Horned!
It reminds me of a legendary creature, the dragon.
I shook my head immediately, although this thing has horns, but it doesn't bear much resemblance to the legendary dragons.
The legendary dragon was unusually large and had four legs, which obviously did not match the kind of thing in front of him.
Everyone's footsteps moved little by little, and while moving forward, they absolutely could not destroy the formation.
Soon set foot in the jungle, and with the help of the trees, I think I can stop these strange snakes to a certain extent.
When we stepped into the woods, we found no sign of the snake, as if it had scared away the unknown kind of snake when we shot and shot arrows.
After repeatedly making sure that there was nothing else around, we were relieved.
However, the formation was still maintained, but the standing was slightly scattered, and little by little towards the depths of the mountain.
"Old Qian, have you found anything?"
I slowly took two steps back, lowered my voice, and said to Qian Lao.
At this time, Qian Lao was holding a compass, staring closely at the pointer of the compass in front of him, and at the same time his eyes looked around.
"This is the flank of the mountain, according to this slope, the air flow of the wind duct is upwell, and this should be the Xun hexagram."
"I've seen it all around, and so far, we're not wrong where we're headed."
I nodded when I heard Qian Lao's words, so I didn't say anything more, and slowly walked two steps forward, returning to where I should have been standing before.
At this time, I swept Tang Mian with my peripheral eyes, Tang Mian frowned, and he didn't know what he was looking at when he lowered his head.
I let out a faint sigh and continued to follow the group.
To be honest, the position I was standing in wasn't very good, it belonged to the semicircle near the front, and if I did encounter something in front of me, I would be the first to stand in front of me.
My spirit is highly tense, and in this case, there is no way for my spirit to relax in the slightest, and if I am not careful, I may lose my life in an instant.
This jungle is far more dangerous than the one we came from the east before, and these two strange snakes alone are enough to kill them.
If you're not careful, getting bitten or pricked by this snake is no joke!
There was still a dead silence all around, as if all the animals on the mountain had died, and all this scene seemed extremely strange.
For us now, the only thing we can hear is the sound of our suppressed footsteps and breathing, and the brief conversations between each other.
This is not the place to speak, so nothing is said other than the necessary communication between each other.
Too much speech will not only make people less vigilant, but also interfere with the sounds in the neighborhood.
As time passed, a clearing could be seen in front of me.
There seems to be a clearing of the lot, there are no plants in the world, the only thing that can be seen is the bluestone slabs laid on the ground.
These bluestone slabs seem to have been artificially laid here, but they have not been processed too much, and some of them are covered with moss, and they are a little slippery on the feet.
But only the edges are covered with moss, and although there is a little bit on the bluestone slab, it is not too much, and it is not too slippery. [This chapter was first published. Love. Yes. sound., remember the URL ()]
