Chapter 13: Old Rivals

I rubbed my temples anxiously, thinking to myself, we must have gone somewhere. The GPS in the wilderness can't be used, the key is that the map of the city in our hands on this road is useless at all, and can only be used to wipe sweat.

If you want to walk comfortably, it is most reliable to ask a local acquaintance to lead the way. But it doesn't matter if you spend some money, the locals like us are generally reluctant to lead the way. This area is not a tourist attraction, and the scenery is not beautiful, so there must be an attempt to come here. It's normal for locals to be afraid of being killed in the mountains. If we really meet someone who is willing to lead the way, then we really have to pay attention, maybe he wants to harm us, and we don't know.

Liu Yang seemed to see the depression in my heart, and came over to rub me with a conspiracy face, and then broke my pocket to show me the cigarette in his pocket, and motioned to me if I wanted one. I hurriedly put his pocket back, waved my hand again and again, and said: "Comrade, after the founding of New China, I have turned back to the shore, don't you take it out to tempt me, do you see my firm little eyes?" ”

After listening to me, Liu Yang shook his head again and again, pouted his teeth and said, "Tsk, the firm little eyes Lao Tzu really didn't see it, but I saw your aggrieved little eyes." Eh, I said, little brother, why did you suddenly become so well-behaved? ”

I sighed, didn't say much, just said don't mention it. Then he turned his head and glanced at Kong Xian, and threw it over, full of resentment.

Kong Xian saw me turn his head to look at him, squinted his eyes and smiled at me, like an old fox who had become a spirit, and there was a look in his eyes that said, "You dare to try these again".

I shook the knife and let him experience it for himself.

Lin Su couldn't walk anymore, and asked with a pout, "What's the situation now?" Are we lost? ”

"Well......" I looked around, frowning irritably, "I can't walk this way, so let's turn back and find a guide, maybe we can go faster." ”

After speaking, I inadvertently noticed that Mo Ranchen had been turning his head to stare in the direction where we came, with a very serious expression, as if there was something there. But when I followed his gaze, I didn't find anything out of the ordinary.

I thought he felt that he had come such a long way and was afraid that he would not be able to paddle back, so he weighed and calculated in his heart. Then he patted him on the shoulder and said: "We are not too far to go, it won't take much to turn back now, the key is that we don't know where the location of this strange city is, if you really want to go on like this, it's one thing to have a bad road, and it's even more troublesome to go in the wrong direction." ”

Unexpectedly, he shook his head, a faint worry appeared between his eyebrows, and said softly: "We can't go back." ”

Before I could speak, Liu Yang laughed: "Master Mo, I said you are worried about a fart, my Dayang can be said to be a well-known expert in remembering the road, no matter where the road is, as long as you walk once, there is no Lao Tzu who can't go back." Besides, there is no fork in the road in this wilderness, go in the direction you came from, are you still afraid that you won't be able to go back? ”

Although Liu Yang is a little suspicious of bragging, I also think that Mo Ran is worrying. We're still wandering on the dirt slope, so how can we get lost?

But at this time, Kong Xian actually patted me on the shoulder, and said with a solemn expression: "He is right, we are in trouble, look at your feet." ”

Hearing him say this, we both looked at the road under our feet.

This look scared me out.

Before, we walked on a very narrow loess road along the way, saying that it was a road, but it was a loess road without too many weeds that people walked out, and it was also in response to the old saying that "there is no road in the world, and there are more people walking, so there is a road." ’。

But now that we look around, except for the area under our feet, the loess road that the person stepped on is gone!

There was no sign of us walking around, as if we had just appeared here out of thin air!

The five men and one horse were stunned, and they searched back and forth for the path we had just walked here, but unfortunately there was still nothing. All that came out of our eyes was a large expanse of weeds.

"This ...... This ......" Liu Yang's mouth was open enough to stuff a steamed bun, he looked around incredibly, looked at me, looked at me, looked at me, and then looked at Kong Xian and Mo Ranchen, and stammered for a long time.

Lin Su hurriedly leaned over to me, holding my arm to find some security.

At this moment, Mo Ranchen suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Everyone be careful, there are things around!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, we heard a sound of squeezing from the surrounding grass, as if something was crawling in the grass.

"It could be a wolf." I whispered.

In my memory, the more dangerous things in the mountains are wolves and snakes, wild boars, and of course, now there are more fire pine nuts.

"Which bag is a weapon in our luggage?" Liu Yang pointed to the three bags I had placed on horseback.

"The spears are in the bag." I pointed to the cloth bag hanging from the horse's belly.

With that, I turned around and tried to get a pistol inside.

But just as one of my hands touched the cloth bag, the black horse suddenly seemed to be frightened, let out a long roar, and ran towards the mountain in the distance.

"! What's going on? I cursed and turned my head to look around.

I turned my head and found that all four of them had retreated behind me.

The sound of the cordens all around became so loud that even the grass around us was shaking.

I looked at the fleeing horse in the distance and shouted, "Follow the horse, we'll be fine if it's all right." Then he took the lead and ran in the direction of the horse's run.

The barren grass without a road was very difficult to walk, there were either pits or stumbling stones, and I was rolling and crawling along the way, and I didn't know what I was hiding.

After running for almost half an hour, I realized when I calmed down that I had to go back and see if they had caught up.

I was completely stunned this time, there were people behind me, only large expanses of grass more than half a person high, and a few of them were gone.

How? I'm running with the horse alone? What about them? It will be fine, if there is a wolf or a wild beast, it will have to leave a scream to be complete, why is it so quiet.

I calmed down and listened to the sounds around me, and found that all the previous movements were gone, and there was only the sound of wind and grass around me.

Taking a deep breath, I knew that I couldn't let my guard down at this time, after all, this place was wild, and any cauliflower was enough for me to die a hundred and one times?

I fumbled around the contents of my pocket, I didn't get the gun before, and now I only have a mobile phone, a must-have Swiss Army knife for home travel, and a lighter.

Mobile phones are of little use here, and the signal is almost zero if the signal is weak. But I still had a glimmer of hope and called Kong Xian to go out, but unfortunately the result was as I expected, the phone was answered by a woman, she said: The phone you dialed is not in the service area, please dial again later......

I became anxious, and now I didn't dare to make a bigger noise, and there was no other way to determine their location than shouting, and if we couldn't meet before dark, the danger would be doubled.

After thinking about it, I decided to brave the way back and forth, I was at the front, and only by going back could I find them. It's just that I was too impulsive at the time, and I ran like a whirlwind, and I didn't say to look back earlier.

Now I go back and I am still very repulsed in my heart, after all, what was the thing that besieged us at that time? Is it still there? Could it be that you've already followed me this way, just waiting for me to ambush me when I walk back? I don't have any counts.

Looking down at the multi-purpose Swiss Army knife in my hand, I smiled wryly, I am afraid that I will not be happy to kill myself with this thing.

I was lamenting, and the moment I raised my eyes, I suddenly felt that I saw something out of the corner of my eye, something that wasn't there! My orientation was facing the sun, and I was a little shaky, and I couldn't see very clearly.

Squinting my eyes and taking a closer look, it seemed to be a person, and I couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in my heart, it seemed that I had finally found one!

I gasped and was about to howl to get his attention. But before I could open my mouth, I suddenly felt something grab me, and then a hand quickly covered my mouth and pulled me to crouch.

My reflexive struggle, the manpower was so strong, my struggle seemed insignificant.

"Shhhh Mo Yanchen's deep voice sounded in my ears, "That thing has better hearing than vision, now we have an advantage, if it's night, it's over." ”

I quickly quieted down and stopped struggling, and Mo Yanchen slowly let go of the hand that bound me. When I heard the three words of that thing, my heart trembled suddenly, and I didn't know which road immortal this was provoking again.

This turned his head to look at Mo Ranchen, but found that he was a little embarrassed, a long cut seemed to have been cut on his cheek, and blood flowed out of the wound, staining his cheeks red.

"You've fought with it? What is it? Fire pine nuts? I asked softly.

He nodded.

I felt a little incredulous and asked, "Don't fire pine nuts live underground?" Although it is rumored that they are afraid of the dark, I haven't heard that they can still see the sun. ”

Mo Ranchen shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either, but said, "It may be adaptation and evolution." ”

After listening to this, I cautiously probed to see where the evolved version of the fire pine nut was.

It has moved far away from us. From a distance, this is only one person tall, estimated to be about the same as Lin Su, not black or brown, it presents a yellowish color, maybe it is really an evolutionary variety.

"Oh, by the way, how many of them are?" I turned my head and asked Mo Zhanchen.

Mo Ranchen was pondering, probably thinking about a strategy to deal with, when he heard my inquiry, he looked up at me, shook his head and said, "Several of us have all been scattered, we should all be in this area, but I don't know where it is." ”

"Ahh As soon as he finished speaking, a scream rang out!

That's Lin Su's voice!

I said in my heart: Not good! A reel was about to get up and look for the direction the sound was coming from.

Before I could stand still, Mo Yanchen suddenly threw me to the ground, and at the same time, a huge object swept above us, very fast, like an arrow off the string.
