Chapter 204: The Verge
This may not be another coincidence!
Seeing that we were all looking at him, the masked man scratched his head, pointed to the bracers of those people, and denied it, "Is the one I know with the mask?" ”
In this regard, I expressed my helplessness, maybe this is also my subconscious thought, but what are these people here for, it seems to have a lot to do with the clan tomb, with something similar to the mask of the god king, and the symbol of the world snake, but it is neither like the person Li Sansi found, nor like the person Baizhou knew.
They seem to be very clear about the clan tomb, but they don't belong to any party, which is a bit strange, is there a third group of people ambushed here, thinking that after we come out, we will directly stop the mask of the god king and be a yellow finch?
This is also possible, but their identities are even more strange, I recalled repeatedly, and finally thought of two bold results, either Li Sansi and those who cooperated with the Academy.
Maybe those people also had the intention to hide from Li Sansi and keep a hand in this matter, so when they joined forces with Li Sansi, they made other arrangements, just because they were afraid that they would not succeed.
But now it's good, Li Sansi didn't come out, and they also pounced, but the only thing that is uncertain is whether Li Sansi has talked to them about anything, why do these people have such a dress, and they are blatantly haunted here, aren't they afraid of being discovered?
However, in addition to this, I have an immature idea, and of course, that idea is difficult to say for sure.
These people may have received news from Yin Daochang, and they were also somewhat interested in this clan mausoleum, so they planted these people.
There was even the one who wanted to kill me, but if that was the case, it was very likely that they had something to do with the old patriarch who had died, after all, he had plotted to prevent me from entering the tomb and get rid of me.
Thinking about it, it all seems confusing and complicated, so complicated that we don't know how to face it.
The assumptions in multiple directions could not be confirmed, so we now have different guesses, and then I asked Baizhou to look through the memories of the old patriarch to see if there were any clues about these people.
The other party immediately shook his head, rejecting my idea, and said that the person who was ambushing me to kill me would definitely appear in the trap outside and would not let you enter the clan tomb.
If it's all in the tunnel, it's too late to do it again.
I listened to him explain this, and I was also skeptical, but looking at Baizhou's appearance, it didn't look like he was deceiving us?
Then he looked at the demeanor of the men, who were neatly moving, as if they had been trained in some way.
If these people have nothing to do with Baizhou and Li Sansi, and they don't seem to have entered the tomb, then what is their purpose.
Perhaps they were looking for the entrance to the tomb and were about to block us, but they didn't realize that we had left from another place.
Looking up at those people, I saw that the firelight illuminated the surrounding grass and trees clearly, and I didn't notice anything wrong from a distance, but when I was so close, I saw that the surrounding trees were very dense.
Although we were already hungry, we were not sure whether these people were friends or foes, and they dared to show up easily.
In between, however, we had to make a choice, either to leave these people and find another place, or to go back to the village first, at least to fill our stomachs.
But when I told them what I thought, they were all a little hesitant, and although they were all hungry, we were all very curious about these sneaky people.
But curiosity is curiosity, what can we do now? Stop them and ask for their identity!?
Forget it, just a few of us, not to mention that there are no guys in our hands, even if there are, we don't have an advantage in numbers.
After thinking about it, we finally glanced at the men again, and found that they were walking into a wood, and we did not dare to come out until they were far away.
Looking ahead again, we finally decided to find a way to go back to the village.
Turning on the only flashlight in Liu Ran's backpack, we walked forward along the path from which those people came, but after walking for a long time, we didn't see anything.
Maybe it's because we're hungry that we feel like it's been too long, but it's only a few minutes.
However, after two "minutes", there was still no change in the surroundings, but since he had seen people coming and going, how could he find the village, and immediately accelerated his pace.
Later, we found a trail leading up the hill, and walked along the winding road, looking left and right from time to time to determine the geographical location of the neighborhood.
We kept climbing up the mountain, but halfway up the hill we saw another path, and as we walked along that road, we saw the light again.
We all calmed down a lot about this discovery, because as we got closer and closer, we recognized them as the same people just now.
I frowned and hid in the grass around me, but my eyelids fluttered uncontrollably, and I knew it wasn't some bad premonition, it was all out of extreme hunger.
Hiding on a high place, we could clearly see the men, and by the light of the torches, they had come to a clearing, but there was a tombstone.
I felt a sense of déjà vu about this place, as if I had discovered it not long ago, but now I can't remember it.
Until Baizhou suddenly said, "It's the elder's grave, are they coming for these?!" ”
When he said this, I also remembered that I had been here alone that night, and it was here that I met the masked man, and I still got the lost key from him.
I used to think that the man was a friend of the deceased, and then I was entrusted by Yin Dao Chang to give us the key that night.
But now it seems that things are far from being as simple as I thought.
Could this person have anything to do with Yin Daochang, or that person is the murderer, after killing the deceased, stealing the memory of the deceased, and trying to kill me in the clan mausoleum, it is also this person.
I thought about these messes in my heart, but my body didn't control it, and my stomach screamed unconsciously, but in this silent environment, so little sound was like a thunderclap, which made us lift up the heart we had just put down.
Then, everyone held their breath, and a few glances instantly shot around them, but then they heard a voice from below not far away.
"Who is it?!" The voice was very loud, and then everyone else reacted, and subconsciously went to the backpack to touch the gun, but was stopped by the leader waving his hand.
"Come out! Don't hide, if we don't come out again, we're going to shoot here! So saying, the men looked around.
We all know that he is unlikely to find out, but his movement just now is too abrupt to be sure......
Facing the resentful eyes of others, I said that I was also helpless, at present, we are all hungry enough, even if it is a mobile phone, there should be a few low battery prompts!
There was no way, we had to go out, or we would be unjustly shot and killed, but just as we got up from the grass, we suddenly found that several people had risen from another pile of grass not far away.
The flashlight swept forward, and everyone was stunned, because in this way, the situation also changed suddenly, originally we were threatened, but there were people on both sides, to the point that some of them were like traps, and they were deliberately fenced off.
However, these people reacted immediately, and the leader glanced at the flashlight to both of us a few times, and cursed, "There is an ambush!" ”
With that, everyone began to retreat backwards, out of our encirclement, but we didn't know why.
I looked at the others, and then looked at the other party, if we met those people by mistake, then they should have waited for them here on purpose, so they must have anticipated the enemy's chance, at least there were more people than them!
But I never expected that there were only three of them, and when I looked at the person in the middle, I realized that this person was actually Yin Daochang.
Seeing him, we were all a little confused, but those who originally threatened us with guns, out of strategic considerations, retreated as soon as possible, I don't know if they saw our numbers?
However, in this dark forest, and we appeared at the same time, we didn't have time to recognize them.
It could also be that they were weak-hearted, so they quickly retreated, but before we could say anything, the three people on the other side ran over, glanced at a few of us, were slightly surprised, and asked how we were here?
I was just about to answer, when I heard a rush not far away, and I didn't have time to explain so much, so I followed along.
When I approached those people, I saw a group of people, isolating the person who had taken the lead.
Among them, the masked man, who had a northern accent, shouted, "How can there be anyone else here!" ”
The leader looked dazed, and he didn't know what was going on, but the more he explained, the more suspicious everyone became.
Moreover, someone mentioned, "We know about the matter here at the same time, but only you have been separated from us, so the news must have been leaked by you!" Do you know what it means to do that? ”
The leader, who had been arrogant when he threatened us with a gun before, was now only groveling, his eyes swept over the others from time to time, and he explained again and again, wondering how there could be others.
But no one believed him, and they didn't know what he had done before, which made everyone so suspicious.
In this stalemate atmosphere, a firework suddenly rang out in the sky not far away, which was like a kind of prompt, and in an instant, everyone's eyes were focused, and several of them glanced at each other, discussing what to do.
But seeing that the leader's eyes changed, he pulled out his gun, which was a strafing shot, and under the moonlight, the sparks of bullets jumped in the dark, and the people who surrounded him were quickly dispersed in this rain of bullets, but there were still a few who did not run away, and they were killed immediately by the gun.
However, the leader seems to have a hatred, and he may also know what the consequences of being suspected by those people will be, rather than being passive, it is better to fight, maybe he can fight a way out.
However, for such a result, it makes people very speechless, these people have no trust in each other at all, just like strangers who meet for the first time, and will instantly turn their faces for some uncertain reasons.
Maybe they have different intentions from each other, so they keep the worst plans for themselves.
In the woods, gunshots rang out, and we all hid in the darkness, not daring to approach there, but we were all engrossed in staring at the men.
The source of the gunfire was still the leader, who, as if he had lit a fuse, first killed the few people gathered and started this unknown battle.
Immediately afterwards, there was the resistance of the others, who hid in the shadows and fired back at the leader, but in this way, everyone lost the opportunity to explain the matter.
And the leader, too, is like a ewe rushing into the ram flock, and at first he won a big victory because of this sudden sneak attack, which caught the others off guard, but when everyone dispersed, it was like a stronghold full of gunpowder, and bullets from all directions were not noticed by the leader alone.
Bullets flew through the darkness, one after another, like a machine that would not stop, constantly pushing forward.
Soon, the leader was too busy to take care of himself, and under his gaze, he could not find anyone else, but he became a living target under the guns of the others, and while running out of the scope of this encirclement, he kept turning back, paying attention to the direction where the bullets were flying, and counterattacking.
