Chapter 4: Horror All the Way: 20. Death Hides

Everyone walked carefully through the rocks, although there was no road in the large and small rocks, everyone walked one foot high and one foot low, because there was no headwind, but the physical consumption was not large, so the speed of walking was not slow.

Li Lili was at the forefront, but he couldn't find the kind of environment we hoped for. The rocks in the valley are irregular, with gravel and boulders. We can only occasionally reach a height, discern the direction, and then move forward in the crevices of the rocks. In this way, at first, I just felt that I was going around, but later I felt that I was drifting away. Fortunately, everyone is very consistent, and everyone is closely following the person in front, and no one is left behind.

As I walked, I felt that something was wrong. If we follow our walking route, if the Thousand-Faced Beast follows or ambushes in front, these boulders are its best cover. It can even take advantage of the visual barrier caused by these boulders to launch a surprise face-to-face attack on us. With the strength and speed of the Thousand-Faced Beast, if it was such a close-range raid, we would have no room for a backhand. I decided to take a different approach, simply put myself in the open and walk in a straight line, walking from a high place. In this way, although the Thousand-Faced Beast can spot us from afar, we can likewise see it from afar. As long as it's not a face-to-face pop-up, we have time to react.

Just as I was decided, I found another problem. Although we have not left a single one behind, our formation is very inadequate. Li Lili walked in the front, and Professor Luo didn't know when he squeezed into second place. Then there is the rain, the old cannon and the old ash. Xiao Yu and Xiao Xiao walked in front of Ah Mei, and I stayed at the end. With this mix of sand, our initial formation was completely disrupted. With the current formation, once the Thousand-Faced Beast attacked, those people would just run away, and the distance between me and Lao Pao and Li Lili was too far to rescue each other. I know that in such a situation, mutual rescue is far more important than one's own counterattack. If they continue to maintain this formation, Li Lili, who is at the front, and me, who is at the back, will be just their human shields.

I have decided to put an immediate end to this situation. I stopped Li Lili, who was walking in the front, and asked him to stop, there was something to discuss.

Li Lili heard my call, stopped, and flashed to the side to let Professor Luo behind him go first. Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Lili stopped, Professor Luo also stopped immediately, refusing to move forward a step. As soon as Professor Luo stopped, the people behind him also stopped. In this way, Li Lili and I are still at the beginning and the end. When I saw this formation, I was angry and funny.

Seeing this situation, Li Lili slammed into Professor Luo beside him with one arm and squeezed back. Interestingly, Li Lili turned back, and Professor Luo actually turned around and followed.

Li Lili came over, and the old cannon followed. In this way, Ruoyu and Old Ash were left at the forefront. What does Ruoyu ask us about? I told her to wait a minute, we needed to discuss it, and the plans might have to change.

Li Lili looked at Professor Luo, who was following him, and said, "Let's discuss things, what are you doing here?" ”

Professor Luo said, "One more idea!" ”

The old cannon said angrily, "We decided to leave one person down to cover the transfer of the large army, are you here to ask for battle?" ”

I said, "The consciousness of the old comrades is high!" ”

Professor Luo hurriedly said, "I didn't mean that......"

"I know the sun doesn't come out of the west. ”

"At my age, I know you won't let me do such a thing," Professor Luo said. Even if I am asked to do it, I can't do it. ”

Li Lili said, "You can't say that, in fact, in the team, you are the most suitable candidate." On the downside, you are the youngest and the least physically strong. Even if someone else stays to cover you, you won't be able to run far. In the end, it was the consequence of being captured by the Thousand-Faced Beast and used as a snack. It's better for you to be a good person to the end, stay and be a cover, just sacrifice you and make the whole expedition team happy. ”

The old cannon continued, "If that's the case, I'll kowtow to you first." You must know that our family is three generations of single inheritance, and this incense can't be broken in my hands. If you fulfill me today, we will remember your kindness for generations to come, and my children and grandchildren will burn paper money for you every New Year's holiday in the future. ”

I looked at Professor Luo's embarrassed appearance and secretly laughed in my heart. I said, "If you don't want to, of course we won't force you." But if you don't want to, it's none of your business. If this has nothing to do with you, why should you know? ”

Professor Luo walked away stupidly.

After Professor Luo left, I shared my concerns and thoughts about the formation and walking route. Li Lili thinks it's right, "Although walking in a straight line will be harder, it is relatively safe." As for the formation, the three of us must keep a distance where we can rescue each other, and we must not let them interfere. But the old cannon was a little worried, and said, "Is it appropriate for us to do this blatantly?" I said, "There's nothing wrong with that, it's important to be clear, in this team, only the three of us can rely on each other, so the three of us have to keep our distance effectively." As for them, if you want to follow, you can follow, and if you don't want to, please do it. In short, under no circumstances can they be allowed to mix sand in our ranks. ”

Once the three of us agreed, we started to implement it.

After the straight line began, I let the old cannon and the old gray go first, and Ruoyu followed. Then there is Li Lili and Ah Mei, and I am still the queen.

Before I go, I made a statement. I said, "In order to get out of the predicament more smoothly, in view of the current situation, we have adopted the method of free combination, one with better physical strength to help the other with weak physical strength." Lao Pao is in charge of Lao Ash, Li Lili is in charge of Ruoyu, I am in charge of Ah Mei, and Xiao Yu and Xiao Xiao are in charge of Professor Luo. ”

Then, Li Lili also proposed the arrangement of the formation. Xiao Yu and Xiao Xiao were in charge of Professor Luo, who was naturally placed out of our formation, but it was up to them to choose whether to go before or after the team.

Xiao Yu, Xiao Xiao, and Professor Luo chose to follow the team, but they did not follow us in a straight line, but followed our direction, which was still the same way as before. The six of us followed, climbing up and down among the rocks, because the direction of the goal was clear, and the area of the valley was not very large, it didn't take us much time to get out of the valley. At this moment, a sharp whistling sound came from the rocks behind us.
