Chapter 14: A Time of Crisis
When they saw the red light in the distance, everyone's steps began to slow down. It's a sign of caution, and no one dares to act rashly until they know where the secret passage leads.
For the next 200 meters, we walked cautiously, not only because of the red light in the distance, but because we found some animal feces in this secret passage. As for what kind of animal it is, no one can tell, but it doesn't feel like it's going to be a flock of animals, because the feces here are scattered everywhere. And the size of the animal should not be smaller than that of the wolfdog, and the animal feces here are slightly larger than that of the wolfdog.
Animal droppings were found here, and it was possible that it was a large animal, so we didn't dare to venture into it, and everyone took the guy out of their backpack.
Type 77 7.62mm pistol, this is the equipment that the Skinny Monkey brought from Yunnan.
"Oh my god, you're not going to bring this kind of gun, are you?" The old prostitute took the Type 77 pistol in her hand and fiddled with it twice, took off the magazine and looked at it, and continued: "Is this fucking used to shoot birds?"
"Brother prostitute, you should be content, it's good to bring this." Skinny Monkey said.
"Contentment, there are only seven bullets in the magazine of this gun, and the continuous fire speed is still slow, if you really encounter wolves, there is only one use for this gun, and that is suicide."
"Brother prostitute, don't be too little! We almost exploded because of this heart along the way, but fortunately, the little guy is easy to hide, if this is with the big guy, then our brothers will be on the road if they can't do it. Skinny Monkey explained.
I asked a little bit to find out why the skinny monkey said that. It turned out that when I called the vice president, I was in a hurry, and he couldn't plan the transportation of equipment in Yunnan for a while, so he could only let the three of them carry the thin monkey with him. On the way from Yunnan, every time they pass through the checkpoint, they will feel tremendous pressure and worry.
I understand the pressure and worry they had at the time, maybe it was my fault, I was too anxious and didn't think it through, and I shouldn't have rushed the vice president so quickly. Fortunately, they all came safely, otherwise they might have poked out a big basket.
After each person took out their pistols and began to move towards the red light in the distance.
At first, we thought that the red light was not a light source, but a refraction of an object, and we thought that there might be a red tomb door in front of us. But as I got closer, I realized that it was not a tomb door at all, but a real light source.
The light source came through a vine that had been opened, and it was clear that the vine had been ripped open, and even a while ago, the signs of being touched were extremely obvious. The old prostitute moved the vines very carefully, and as the vines were pulled away little by little, we saw that a red sun was about to set over the distant hills.
As we walked out of the vine-covered passageway, we realized that it was a hidden valley, surrounded by three mountains with high cliffs, and only a deep valley in front of us.
Seeing that the red light is the setting sun, not the refraction of the tomb door, this makes us inevitably a little disappointed. I thought that our entry into the gate ditch this time was quite smooth, and it took no effort to find the secret passage to the ancient tomb, but who would have thought that the secret passage was not to the ancient tomb, but to this hidden valley. Of course, it's normal to be a little disappointed, after all, we think it's easy to make it simple.
We stayed there and observed, the valley was only a little narrow at the exit of the secret passage, and less than fifty meters in front of it became a little wider, except for one or two large trees in the distance, the valley was full of weeds.
There is a three-meter-wide dirt road here, and the rut has been following this dirt road since coming out of the secret passage. Although the road is overgrown with weeds, the weeds on the road are not high, only 20 centimeters high, but the weeds on both sides of the dirt road are obviously opposite, they are more than a meter high, and in some places they are even taller than people.
After the observation, we began to follow the dirt road deeper into the valley, and the ruts became more obvious on the dirt road.
As soon as I walked out a few dozen meters away, I found that He Mancang was a little weird, every time he took two steps forward, he would look back from time to time.
"Lao He, what's wrong?" I walked over to him and asked.
"Do you ever feel something following us from behind?"
As soon as I heard He Mancang say this, I hurriedly looked behind. Although it was dusk, the view of the dirt road was still wide enough to see the secret passage we came out of, and we didn't notice anything behind it.
When the old prostitute heard what I said to He Mancang, she also glanced back, and then asked He Mancang: "Old He, what did you see just now?"
He Mancang shook his head and replied, "I didn't see anything, I just felt that there was something behind."
"Damn, I thought you saw something, you didn't see anything for a long time." The old prostitute continued: "Okay! Don't look at it if you don't see it, we need to hurry up and find a place to spend the night before it gets dark, I don't want to sleep in this barren meadow. ”
He Mancang seemed to say something, but he didn't say anything, just shook his head twice.
We continued on our way, observing the steep hills on either side, hoping to find a suitable place for us to spend the night.
I would glance at He Mancang from time to time, because his performance just now made me feel unspeakably worried, and I noticed that he still walked a few steps and then turned back to look behind.
I don't know much about He Mancang, so I didn't ask him directly what was wrong, but asked the thin monkey on the side to ask, after all, they are more familiar with each other, maybe there are some things He Mancang won't say to me and the old prostitute, but he can talk to the thin monkey.
"Brother Mancang, did you just see something?" The thin monkey walked up to He Mancang's side and continued, "What did you see? Speak to your brother, lest thou be suspicious. ”
"I don't know, I can't tell, it feels like a figure, maybe I'm dazzled."
"I look at you, it's just dazzled, how can someone follow us in this deep mountain and old forest. If you want to say that you saw jackals, tigers and leopards, I can still believe it, but you say that someone is following us, then I really don't believe it......" The thin monkey said this, suddenly paused, as if thinking of something, and said suspiciously: "Could it be that Cao Daring is secretly following us."
The thin monkey spoke loudly, and everyone was not far from each other, so they could all hear it.
For a moment, everyone didn't continue to move forward, they all stopped in place and looked straight behind them.
"My god, if it's really him, Lao Tzu will discount his legs."
As soon as the old prostitute finished speaking, the sound of grass moving came from the grass beside her. At this moment, everyone was alert, and their eyes looked in the direction of the grass.
"Damn, it's dishonest to take the money and pay it back, don't hide, I saw you." The old prostitute scolded in the direction of the grass.
Actually, I don't know if the old prostitute saw it, but listening to what he shouted, it was a bit like he was cheating people. I thought that Cao Daring would take the initiative to come out when he heard the old prostitute's shouting, who would have thought that it was not Cao Daring who was moving in the grass at all.
I don't know what's in the grass, in short, as soon as the old prostitute finished shouting, the grass was instantly chaotic, not only the grass in this place, but also the grass on both sides of the dirt road.
Suddenly, there was the sound of grass moving all around. Obviously, this is not something that Cao Daring can do, I roughly glanced left and right, whether it was far or near, there were about twenty or thirty grass movements.
This really confused us, and after knowing that it was not Cao Daring, the old prostitute also became strict.
Before we could take a closer look, something came out of the grass and threw the old prostitute to the ground. Fortunately, the old prostitute reacted quickly enough, and the moment she fell to the ground, she kicked up with her foot and kicked the thing out directly.
It was then that I could see what it looked like, it looked like a leopard, brown and yellow with black spots, but its head looked less like a leopard and more like a dog. After two glances, I realized that I didn't know the animal at all, and I didn't know what it was called.
"What the fuck is this?" After the thin monkey cursed, he immediately took out his hand and kicked the old prostitute out, and then released a shot.
I thought that this shot of the thin monkey could end the life of that thing, but who would have thought that this guy's marksmanship was really bad, he was only five meters away from that thing, and he didn't even shoot.
Although the thin monkey's bullet didn't hit it, it startled the thing, and quickly rolled up from the ground and took two steps back. At the same time, the old prostitute also took over. The moment the old prostitute stood up, the thing screamed.
Before I could hear the scream, a few more popped out of the grass on either side, forming an encirclement around us. In fact, the few that came out are not terrible, but the terrible thing is that there are still many places in the grass that are moving, which proves that there are at least dozens of them nearby.
"Don't panic, everyone, this is a giant hyena." The old prostitute said softly: "We have to find a way to rush out, this thing will only gather more and more."
"Where to rush? There is grass all around. Skinny Monkey asked.
"When you see the two trees in front of you, run that way."
After the old prostitute finished speaking, I slowly turned my head and glanced at the front of the dirt road, there were indeed two big trees in front of me, but Nima's place was still more than 100 meters away from those two big trees. Don't say what kind of giant hyena it is, even if the usual domestic wolf dog is within 100 meters, people may not be able to run, not to mention that we have to face a wild giant hyena.
"Those two trees are too far away." He Mancang said.
"We have to run far away, and when they gather more and more, we all have to die here." The old prostitute continued: "King Kong, you are responsible for killing the two in front of you, and Lao He and I are in charge of the back, listen to my command, let's do it together."
"What am I responsible for?" At the moment, I don't care about the authority of the boss, after all, only the old prostitute knows that this is a giant hyena, so if you want to live, you still have to listen to the old prostitute's reliability.
"You just fucking run." The old prostitute continued: "It's useless to aim at the point and hit the head, and it's useless to hit other places."
After the old prostitute shouted, several gunshots rang out in the valley deafeningly.
I don't know if the old prostitute shouted and ran away, and rushed forward with an explosive force. I thought I was the first to run forward, but I didn't expect the skinny monkey to run ahead of me.
After a dozen steps, I was trying to catch up with the skinny monkey when I saw a giant hyena scurrying out of the grass in front of me. I wanted to warn the monkey, but before I could say anything, the giant hyena had already pounced on the monkey to the ground.
Seeing that the condition of the thin monkey was not good, I quickly slowed down and wanted to go over and help. Who would have thought that as soon as the pace slowed down a little, he felt that his back was pressed down hard by a heavy object.
I immediately realized that it was not good, it must be a giant hyena.
