Chapter 105: Poplar Forest 8
Seeing that the situation was critical, Black Axe and Mitaka also rushed up to help, only to see the two of them each carrying one side of the wire net, and suddenly towards the position of the knife scorpion, but the knife scorpion was very clever, and had prepared in advance, and jumped to the yellow sand ground with a "whoosh", perfectly avoiding the wire net.
The scorpion that jumped on the yellow sand arched itself again like a shrimp, and the two big claws kept waving at us, very arrogant. At this time, Nangong Han suddenly stepped forward and took the wire net from the hands of the black axe and the three eagles, and then saw a phantom flash, and Nangong Han firmly put the wire net on the body of the knife scorpion at a very fast speed.
Finally caught this Tai Sui!
The Black Axe then pulled out his pistol and aimed it at the scorpion struggling in the net, killing it with one shot.
Mawson knew that after being pierced by this scorpion, the toxin would remain in his body, so he took out the dagger and slashed it on his injured shoulder without saying a word, and directly cut off all the injured parts.
After the crisis was resolved, I looked up at the corpse again, and suddenly remembered that in the first place on Zanglong Mountain, those ghost stings were also torn out of animal corpses like now!
These creatures are all parasitic in the body of animals, is there any connection between them? After my brain opened, I wondered if they would be like in science fiction movies, terrifying invasive alien species, unknowingly, carrying out some kind of conspiracy against humans?
When I was still troubled by the strange thoughts that suddenly popped up in my mind, I suddenly heard Zheng Tian shout in panic, and then I saw him pick up a steel crossbow and shoot at a corpse hanging from the poplar tree, only then did I find that several more scorpions crawled out of the corpse hanging from the tree, and the Moson Black Axe They also realized the danger, and they pulled up the bolt of the gun one after another, and hit the corpses, and the smell of gunpowder suddenly diffused in the forest.
After a burst of fire, the scorpions that were about to crawl out of the corpse had been beaten to pieces, and the corpse of the foreigner was unfortunately pierced into a sieve, Ailanlin saw that his former comrades-in-arms had become like this after their deaths, and his heart was naturally sad, he pinched the cross on his chest, made a Christian prayer gesture and said, "Rest in peace."
"We must get out of here immediately, the rest of the bodies will crack open at any moment." Professor Wu said with a solemn expression.
"But where are we going? Gan Feng's road signs left behind are gone. Fat Bear said with a shrug.
"I shouldn't have been in this forest in the first place." Zheng Tian muttered dissatisfiedly.
Professor Wu glanced at Urati, who was cowering behind a camel, and said, "He knows where to go." ”
Then we all looked at Urati, the old man looked at us and shivered, I walked over and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Old man, you have successfully come out before, I believe you can do it this time." ”
Urati shook his head and told us that he had escaped by mistake, and that now he had to find his way by feeling.
At this time, I noticed that Nangong Han walked alone under one of the poplar trees, and then pressed his ear to the trunk of the tree, and I was very puzzled when I watched his actions.
After more than ten seconds, Nangong Han turned his head to us and said, "Go east." ”
"Is it possible that this guy can still talk to the tree?" Zheng Tian was surprised.
"It's also a hanging!" The fat bear looked incredulous.
At this time, Ai Lanlin regarded Nangong Han as her only support to find her lover, and she asked tremblingly: "Ganfeng, did they also go east?" ”
Nangong Han nodded and didn't say a word.
After we set off, the question we discussed most was the reason why the seven men had been hanged, and Urati still stubbornly believed that they had angered the true God and therefore caused their deaths.
Zheng Tian is a journalist, so his ideas are more unique, and he always likes to think about conspiracy theories, in order to make more gimmicks: "I think there is a possibility that they have internal disputes and kill each other." ”
Ai Lanlin didn't say a word after hearing this, turned around and slapped Zheng Tianyiji, Zheng Tian covered his red face and said bitterly: "Do you understand freedom of speech?" I'm just saying a possibility, no malice at all. ”
Ai Lanlin said angrily: "There is no such possibility, if there is, please show your evidence!" ”
Zheng Tian pointed to the poplar tree beside him and said, "See for yourself, why were all the marks engraved on the poplar trees when we came, but now the marks have disappeared?" ”
"Maybe they're in danger and running for their lives, and there's no time to mark it." Alan Lin replied coldly.
Zheng Tian shook his head and analyzed like a detective: "No, along the way, I didn't find any traces of fighting, which proves that they were not hunted down later, and now there is no mark on the tree, it is very likely that the internal decision-making level has changed, they don't want us to find them later, so why don't they want to?" Because they have demons in their hearts! ”
Fat Bear gave Zheng Tian a thumbs up at this time and said, "Your kid's nonsense is so good, I almost believe it even Fat Master." ”
"What do you mean to almost believe that the possibility I am proposing is a good ......?" When Zheng Tian said this, he glanced at Ai Lanlin, who had a fierce look in his eyes, and didn't dare to finish the last word, so he waved his hand dejectedly and continued to hurry.
Later, Professor Wu came up with the idea that the deaths of those people had something to do with the masked man who attacked us in the wooden house.
I think it's a little more plausible, since it's no accident that the masked men of unknown origin suddenly appear in the poplar forest, and perhaps they met the first expedition in the forest, and the two sides had an encounter.
Nangong Han led the camel by himself and walked more than ten meters in front of us to explore the way, so he didn't participate in our discussion from beginning to end, and I think that since he can just listen with his ears, he can figure out where Ganfeng and they are going, and he also understands the cause of death of those people just now, so I trotted to the front, summarized the thoughts of several people, and told Nangong Han to listen (in fact, I just wanted to set his words), but this guy ignored me directly, and didn't reply to me a word, although I knew that this was his usual style, But he still embarrassed me by not giving face like this.
After walking with Nangong Han for more than an hour, it was getting late, the blood-like remnant sun outside the forest faded its last bloody color, and the black curtain shrouded all life, we all turned on the flashlight, and the faint light swam around in this dark and strange poplar forest, and the cold wind hit through the cracks in the dead branches, and we couldn't help but feel a chill.
I didn't think that time passed so quickly, and before I knew it, a day passed again, and if it weren't for the watch, we would have no concept of time at all in this no-man's land on the vast Gobi.
