The squad leader roared, who, the muzzle of the gun immediately turned.

I turned, sat on my knees, and aimed my gun at the place where the laughter had come.

Shen Guojun heard the weird laughter, and laughed wildly with his hands and feet: "It's coming, none of you can leave." ”

The snow in the night was white, and there was nothing to see, listening to Shen Guojun's words, he felt irritable for no reason, and turned around and roared: Shut up for me!

Shen Xue was appeasing Shen Guojun, and when she heard me yelling at Shen Guojun, she asked dissatisfiedly: "Chen Xiu, what are you murderous?" ”

Maybe seeing that I was young, Shen Xue didn't talk to me very politely. I don't want to provoke these intellectuals, after all, they have a high voice after I go back. I was unhappy, so I could only endure it and didn't reply.

Han Jun next to him heard Shen Guojun's nonsense, and stood up excitedly and said: "I said that he is the devil, you don't believe it, now that he has summoned that thing, none of us can survive!" ”

Li Chuang kicked Han Jun to the ground with a frightened kick, pointed a gun at him and shouted: "From now on, if you say one more word, Lao Tzu will kill you!" ”

Boom!

Strange laughter came again, in all directions. Everyone fell silent, nervously scanning their surroundings. I didn't care about the supervisor's advice, so I turned on the tactical flashlight and shone it over as soon as possible.

Under the straight beam, a hideous human face and a burly body shone out. It has white hair, is more than two meters tall, and is very strong. Li Chuang and Gao Chuan also turned on their flashlights, swept around, and found that there were seven other identical creatures around.

Before, I thought that Shen Guojun was stimulated to talk nonsense, but after closer inspection, I found that eight strange creatures just blocked the pass we were leaving.

Bang!

"Fuck it!" Li Chuang was a little out of breath and fired a shot. The strange creature was frightened and scattered, but the one that was aimed at was no faster than a bullet, and was shot in the door, and the sound of metal hitting sounded on its face, and it fell into the snow as soon as it fell over.

But it was just a breath of time, and it rolled over and climbed up again, and disappeared into the snow in the blink of an eye.

Can't be killed? My face changed suddenly, if the guns in my hands are useless, then what do we have to rely on?

At this time, Professor Liu Tiande said in horror next to him: "They are strange beasts in Kunlun Mountain, we found a corpse in Death Valley, which is very similar to the creature just now. They wore bronze masks on their faces, and the bullets must have hit the masks. ”

The professor's words relieved our tension and fear, as long as we are living creatures, not invulnerable, we are not worthy. But when he brought it up, I remembered it too.

It was July of '83, when the heat was unbearable, but a snowstorm suddenly fell in the area of Death Valley, and a thunderous roar accompanied by a blizzard suddenly came, and the cooks of the geological team fainted on the spot. According to the cook's later recollection, he felt numb and couldn't remember anything as soon as his eyes were black.

But there was a follow-up, and it was widely spread in my regiment that the next day the soldiers in charge of the defense were patrolling Death Valley and found a huge skeleton that had never been seen before.

"Hmmm! You're right! Liu Tiande was a little lacking in qi, and after a pause, he continued my words: "Next to the skeleton, we found a bronze human face mask, which is more than 2,000 years old according to carbon determination. ”

Death Valley is in the Nalengrad Gorge, far from Setura, and the geographical span is somewhat large, indicating that this creature has a large range of activities.

Before I could ask in detail, Zhang Hu swallowed foam and asked, "Professor Liu, are they monsters that have lived for thousands of years?" ”

Professor Liu smiled hard and said, "I don't know if it has lived for two thousand years. However, it is not a youkai, judging from the skeleton found in Death Valley, it should be an ancient ape living on the plateau. ”

Australopithecus. I frowned slightly, even if they evolved to use tools, it would never be possible to smelt bronze, let alone make human face masks, but it is a little unrealistic to say that they were raised by modern people.

Unless they really live for more than two thousand years!

As soon as I thought of this, the squad leader retreated to my side vigilantly and whispered, "Chen Xiu, those things are still there!" ”

The speculation was interrupted, but it was irrelevant. I lowered my voice and asked the squad leader if he thought it was strange, and as soon as he said that he wanted to go back, the ancient ape appeared.

The squad leader frowned and asked in a low voice, "You mean that thing is here to block us?" ”

I think there is a chance that we will go back, and we have said before that we will go back, but the apes did not appear, and as soon as the expedition came, they came.

Apes have a high IQ and may not be able to understand us.

"Tsk!" The squad leader smacked his lips, his face cloudy, and understood that what I wanted to say was that the ancient ape had come to block the expedition. After half a second, he patted me on the shoulder and said, "Anyway, our mission is to save people." ”

Shen Xue saw me muttering to the squad leader, so she came over and asked, "What are you two talking about?" ”

"Nothing!" The squad leader replied. The snow came over, and the topic was over.

I got up from the ground, but Shen Xue was bending down to eavesdrop, but before I could avoid it, my foreheads bumped together.

After three years in the army, I rarely had the opportunity to see girls, let alone a beautiful girl like Shen Xue, I hurriedly went to help her rub her forehead, and when she reacted, she was already frowning and glaring at me.

Realizing his abruptness, he quickly said sorry, and ran towards the tent in a panic, but at this moment, he suddenly saw a blood-red eye on Xu Peng's shoulder, as if he noticed that he was discovered, and shrank to the back of his neck.

There was something on him, I chuckled in my heart, hurriedly went over and pulled Xu Peng, and when I entered the tent, he dared to speak, and nervously asked me what I was going to do.

As soon as he spoke, it was still the voice of two people, which was very strange.

I turned up the oil stove and told him to take off his clothes.

Xu Peng's face changed suddenly, "Chen Xiu, you want me to die!" "In a cold environment, taking off your clothes can cause a rapid loss of body temperature, which is very dangerous.

But now I can't take it off, I will tell the reason, Xu Peng heard that there was something on his body, his face changed, and he hurriedly untied the marching bag on his body and began to take off his clothes.

I scrutinized each one, and when the last thermal underwear was taken off, I gasped and couldn't help but take two steps back, muttering, "What the hell is this!" ”

Near his neck and shoulder, a blood-red eye was staring at me.

Being stared at by it, his consciousness began to blur, but fortunately, he was on guard, and quickly bit down on the tip of his tongue, and then tightly pressed against the roof of his mouth, the entrance of yang blood, plus the stinging pain, and he quickly woke up

Xu Peng saw me staring at his shoulder and wanted to look sideways.

I hurriedly stopped him: "Don't look! Slowly turn your back to me! ”

This thing is what is on the corpse of a comrade-in-arms, and it is the one who controls Gao Chuan, and he can't look at each other directly.

Xu Peng's neck stiffened, and he nervously asked me what it was. I don't know what it was, but when I took off my clothes, the sound became clear, coming from his neck.

Because of the simultaneous sound, Xu Peng couldn't feel it himself, and the thing was very thin, sticking to him like a piece of skin. In the middle is a blood-red eye, like a painting, but it is moving.

Around the eyes are blood-colored veins that extend out to form a strange symbol.

I tried to pick it with a dagger, it was a living thing, and after noticing it, I squirmed and began to dodge, I was afraid of hurting Xu Peng, so I didn't dare to do it easily.

"Use fire!"

As he was pondering how to get it down, the tent was pulled open, and Shen Xue walked in, "It's an ancient creature, refined by witchcraft, capable of confusing people and controlling dead corpses. In the literature of the witch, it is called the flying skin. ”

"Witchcraft?" I frowned slightly.

Witchcraft began to decline in the Spring and Autumn period, and many things have been lost to the present day. At the same time, he also thought of the mask on the face of the ancient ape, Professor Liu said that it has a history of more than 2,000 years, and it is calculated that it is the Spring and Autumn period when witchcraft declined.

I couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that there are witch relics in Kunlun Mountain?" ”

I don't know much about history, but I probably know that the birthplace of the Wu clan is south of Kyushu, which is too far away from here. But if you think about it, Kunlun has been a holy place since ancient times, and Kunlun in ancient times was a place rich in spiritual energy, and many gods and goddesses in myths and legends originated here. It's no surprise that Wu is here.

Shen Xue didn't answer, and said euphemistically: "If you know more, you won't be able to retire!" As I reached for my dagger, I shook it upside down, causing her to pounce.

She frowned slightly, and said dissatisfiedly: "If it drags on, your comrades-in-arms will be frozen to death!" ”

I'm still struggling with the question I just had, and I'm holding back uncomfortably. However, the rawhide bag I brought out of the cave contained a book with a thread seal, and before I had time to read it, it was likely to record the purpose of the Qin Heavenly Prison's people coming here.

And the purpose of the expedition may be the same as theirs. There may be confidentiality, and I am not going to hand it over, lest it be explained unclearly.

Xu Peng's teeth kept knocking, and he was so cold that he couldn't speak. Shen Xue saw that I refused to give her the dagger, so she asked me to burn the dagger red and use it to burn the flying skin.

Now there was no other choice but to do so and put the dagger on the fire. At the same time, I found that from the time she came in to the present, Shen Xue did not shy away from looking directly at Feipi, but she was not confused, could she also fix the soul?

He gave her a suspicious look and didn't ask more.

After more than ten seconds, the dagger was hot, and while Xu Peng was unprepared, he quickly pressed the back of the scorching knife against the flying skin. The moment it touched, a foul-smelling smoke came out of it, and at the same time, a human-like scream was released, and the flying skin fell off Xu Peng's body in one fell swoop, and rushed towards the snow like a dead leaf.

I drew my dagger back and stabbed it with my backhand, and after avoiding it, I slammed through the tent with a stab and flew straight into the void. I hurriedly turned on my flashlight and chased it out.

By the time it reached the Void, it slowed down considerably. I fired two shots in a row and missed. Li Chuang took a shot, and a terrible scream came out of the air, and the flying skin was directly shot through, and it fell like a dead leaf to a dozen meters away.

The ancient ape was still lurking around, and I didn't dare to act alone, so I called the squad leader and Zhang Hu, and the three of them passed cautiously back to back.

When I found it, I was stunned for a moment, the flying skin had shrunk into a fist-sized ball, and the runes on it were all huddled together, like a bloody eyeball.

I steadied my hand and stabbed it with a dagger, but the thing was not yet dead, and I screamed weakly, and it squirmed before it was completely motionless.

Shen Xue caught up from behind, holding a plastic bag in his hand, and asked me to put the flying skin inside, saying that this thing has high research value.

I was afraid that it would not die, so I put it on the ground and wrangled it twice with a dagger before giving it to her, and at the same time reminded her that those masked apes were still around, so don't be left alone.

Outside the tent, I suddenly turned around and asked her if she had ever encountered a dark shadow.

The expedition team has gone farther than us, and they are all professionals, and they may be able to solve the mystery of the dark shadow.

But Shen Xue frowned slightly, and asked me what kind of black shadow I was
