47.Worship of the Beasts (2)
Although this group of fierce beasts does not attack people for the time being, I don't dare to get too close to Yang Wenhao. You can only follow the outer ring, carefully circumnavigating, hoping to find a gap. In the end, my idea fell through, because at the end of the detour, I was blocked by a stone wall that did not have a high ceiling. Judging from the unevenness of the stone wall, it looks like a mountain, and it is really hard to imagine that this dark space is not only an ancient city, but also such a mountain.
A question comes to mind: how big is this space?
Don't give up, turn around and go around to the other side, if you are surrounded by mountains on both sides, I will be speechless. But things are always unexpected, the mountains are not met, but there is a river, looking at the calm and waveless river, I want to cry without tears. If it weren't for the current situation, you might still be able to think ridiculously: This is a treasure of feng shui, surrounded by mountains and rivers.
I didn't pay attention to whether the water was clear or not, wondering if there would be any giant crocodiles or something under the water, and if not, it wouldn't be difficult to dive. So that I can go into the encirclement of the beasts and find out what is going on.
I had a certain idea in my heart, so I pulled Yang Wenhao to a distance, wanting him to wait here and come back after I took a closer look before making a decision. He didn't agree to me doing this, and if I insisted, I would dive with him. The environment did not allow me to persuade him, and I really wanted to knock him unconscious, and finally I patiently asked him if he could dive with a foot injury?
He gritted his teeth and nodded yes, I glared at him fiercely and said, "Okay! If you decide, come with me, don't blame me if you lose your life when the time comes. After speaking, he turned around and left, and there was immediately a sound of footsteps behind him, this Yang Wenhao looked weak, but in fact his temper was very stubborn.
A little closer to the group of fierce beasts, Yang Wenhao and I went down to the water, although we were mentally prepared, but we were still excited by the cold water temperature. I didn't think that the water temperature on the surface was completely different from the bottom, but the person had already entered the water, so I didn't have to worry too much, so I took a sharp breath and stuffed my head into the water. Although he had a bad tone towards Yang Wenhao, he was still worried that he would not be able to stand it and sink to the bottom of the river, so he dived forward and looked back, but he finally did not lag back and followed closely behind me.
After diving for a while, his breath was so breathed that he couldn't sustain anymore, and he quietly poked his head out of the water. In order to avoid the attention of the beasts standing by the river, we swam a little distance to the center of the river, so at this moment we could see that we had already dived through the encirclement of the beasts, and we only needed to swim a little further before we landed. At this time, I suddenly heard a strange movement, and the direction was from the shore, but the distance was too far to be heard clearly.
I held my breath again, dived into the water, and swam towards the shore. When he arrived at the shore, he glanced back and found that Yang Wenhao was missing, and he was shocked, and hurriedly swam back to look for him, only to see him holding his right leg in the middle of the river and twitching. The heart is not good, it is too much blood loss, causing his muscles to atrophy, and he stepped forward to help him get out of the water, so it is too dangerous to dive again, and it is very likely that he will hold his breath and pass.
He swam some distance forward before slowly approaching the shore, because floating directly in the water, the heavy breath might attract the beasts nearby. Luckily, there are no ferocious animals in the river, otherwise we wouldn't even know how we died. Finally arrived at the shore, first pushed Yang Wenhao to the shore, and then climbed ashore by himself.
This place is fifty or sixty meters away from the beasts, which can be regarded as temporarily out of the danger zone. Yang Wenhao's appearance is obviously unable to walk anymore, if he is forced to carry him over, then if something happens, I won't even have a chance to fight back and escape. But he grabbed my hand and refused to let go, and his dark eyes in the darkness were full of worry.
I was really speechless to him, and I could only be regarded as an unknown person at all, and the only intersection was to meet him before I came to find Sheng Shiyao. I lowered my voice and said, "Let go!" There may be my companions over there, they are waiting for me to come to my rescue, and if you drag me any longer, I will knock you unconscious. "I can do it, and if he doesn't let it go, he'll do it.
Yang Wenhao may have seen the determination in my eyes, his hand let go a little bit, I stood up, tightened the gun in my hand, and finally turned around without saying anything. It's not that I'm cold to him, it's that I can't give him the gun and the shadow moon, after all, this place is safe, and there is an unknown danger waiting for me ahead, and the gun in my hand can resist for a while. As for Shadow Moon giving it to him, it will only hurt him, so he can only silently pray in his heart to go and come back quickly.
When I got close to the position of the beast herd, I began to crawl forward, pressing on the ground a little bit to move, and gradually heard the voice, carefully distinguishing that it seemed to be Zhou Tong's voice, and I couldn't help but be happy in my heart, they were indeed here. As I crawled closer, the range of the night vision devices was enough to see the scene in front of me, and I was stunned.
It is difficult to imagine such a scene in front of him, the voice he heard just now is indeed Zhou Tong, he raised the gun in both hands, covered in blood, shouting and cursing at the top of his head, and from time to time he pulled the trigger, but the sound of clicking came out, but he could not hear the sound of bullets, obviously his bullets had run out. Zhou Tong looks like he has lost his mind!
What could be the reason for Zhou Tong to be like this? An ominous premonition invaded, and there were only two possibilities, one was that Liu Yue had an accident, and the other was that Sheng Shiyao had an accident. I believe that if something happens to the sixth son, Zhou Tong will not become as crazy as he is now.
I hurriedly searched around, looking for traces of other people, only to see a few meters away from Zhou Tong, lying a person, looking at the image of the sixth son. And there is a figure next to the sixth son, which is not clear from a distance, judging from the length, it doesn't look like Liu Yue, is it ...... Sheng Shiyao? Did something really happen to him?
Without looking ahead, he got up from the ground and ran there, Zhou Tong raised his gun at me when he heard the sound, and it was another strafing shot, fortunately he ran out of bullets in the gun, otherwise my body had become a honeycomb at this time. I flew up to him and shouted, "Zhou Tong, I'm Cheng Xiao!" But he didn't hear it at all, and only muttered, "Kill them, kill them." "Seeing this, I could not hesitate any longer, I rolled over to dodge his blow, and then flashed behind him and kicked the gun away, he himself was seriously injured, so he was subdued and crushed to the ground by me in two blows.
Taking advantage of this spare time, I looked at the location of the sixth son, and saw that he was similar to Zhou Tong, also covered in blood, his eyes were closed, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. And the man next to him ...... It's not Sheng Shiyao, his body is much smaller than Sheng Shiyao, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but when I looked closely, I found that it was Chen Bing who disappeared outside the door of the stone room, and his face was gray, as if he was breathing, how could he be here?
"Be careful!" Suddenly heard a warning behind me, I felt a strong wind overhead, and then bang, something flew over my head, I followed the sound and looked, and found that it was Yang Wenhao who fell two meters away, and the warning just came from him? Why did he still keep up? Wait, how could he suddenly fall out?
Intuitively raised his head, just saw something sweeping towards the door in front of me, Yang Wenhao shouted urgently beside him: "Get out of the way!" I rolled on the spot and pulled Zhou Tong away, narrowly dodging the blow, and when I looked at it again, I could see what it was.
Be...... Blackwing bats, and not one, are countless hovering overhead! There were a few of the larger ones that had just attacked me. To be honest, I have a strong fear of bats, from my grandmother's Jinpa to later learned that it is a totem, and I have seen its sculptures many times, and it is a nightmare related to it, especially the previous dream, it is really ...... Fear that brings me from heart to body.
But the group of bats in front of me, although they are big, there is still a huge gap between them and the giant bats in the dream, and they are similar to the reliefs in the ancient castle, that is, if you stand on the ground, you are more than one person tall, and a wing fanning can really shoot people away. Seeing another bat swooping down, I picked up my gun and fired at it, and the bullet hit the bat's wing, and they made a sharp neighing sound, which didn't seem to be as thick as a black bear.
After sweeping a round of bullets, the swarm of bats flew higher, not daring to approach the ground for a while, but still hovering upwards. I kind of understand why Zhou Tong became crazy, before I came, he must have gone through round after round of attacks from this group of bats with Liuzi, until Liuzi fell and the bullets ran out. It is likely that I caught up in time, and if I was a little slower, even Zhou Tong would fall in a pool of blood after this round of attack by the bat.
Yang Wenhao's injury was not light, the trapeze almost killed him, if he hadn't flown to save just now, it was probably me who was shot away. Seeing that my black bag fell not far away, just now in order to be lightweight, I left the bag to Yang Wenhao, but I didn't think that he even brought the bag over, there are first aid supplies in it, and it is very needed at this time.
While I was holding my gun to guard against the attack of the bat overhead, I leaned towards the black bag, and at the same time as I picked up the bag, another bat tried to swoop down, and I shot it directly in the abdomen, and the ugly hissing sound, and then flew away in a panic. I looked around at the beasts standing on the periphery and watched, and I didn't see any movement from them, so I just watched from the sidelines.
I don't quite understand the thinking of these animal groups, if they are coming for this group of bats, then when they see that I hurt the bats, they will attack them in groups, but they are only watching from the wall. Could it be that these bats, like the beasts, are here for some reason? What could be the reason for that? And why do bats attack people, but beasts of other species don't?
Naturally, no one came to solve my doubts, so I could only mention the bag to Zhou Tong with doubts in my heart, after he was subdued by me just now, the whole person was paralyzed on the ground, I gave him a tranquilizer, and simply bandaged the wound. Seeing that he had not yet recovered his senses, he had to go to check on Liuzi, and after probing his breathing, he found that although it was weak, he still had qi.
Just as he was about to untie his shirt and dress him with medicine, Zhou Tong's mournful voice came from his ears: "Little sister, Ah Yue is gone, and Brother Yao has also been killed......
