Su Rui walked over to Zi Yang, who was brushing his teeth, with a smile, and saw Zi Yang staring at him, his mouth full of foam, his expression was stunned, and he stopped a little embarrassed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 At this moment, the commotion in the tent behind her suddenly stopped.

In this stunned moment, a gray shadow suddenly burst out of the tent and quickly pounced on Su Rui's back.

Ziyang shouted, "Be careful~~"

Before the heart word was finished, the gray shadow had already pounced on Su Rui's back, Su Rui saw that Ziyang's face changed, and his heart sank, and he suddenly felt that his back had been hit vigorously, and something had fallen on him, so he didn't have time to think about it, so he rolled forward with his strength and threw the gray shadow two meters away.

As soon as the gray shadow was thrown away, it jumped up screaming, bounced up several meters high, and pounced on Su Rui from the air with teeth and claws.

Su Rui, who was lying on the ground, couldn't dodge, so he had to rely on instinct and subconsciously protect his head and face with his hands. but the chest and abdomen are empty.

The gray shadow's two sharp claws seemed to shine with cold light in the air, and they pounced down with lightning speed, seeing that Su Rui could not escape, suddenly two gunshots rang out, and the gray shadow was hit by a flying bullet, and the powerful impact knocked its body away, rolled a few times in the air, fell to the ground and fluttered a few times, screaming like a puff of green smoke, and disappeared in a flash.

All this happened so suddenly, and Alexander and James and Timur also ran out of the tent when they heard shouts outside, just in time to see this horrible scene.

Lao Wang held a Glock pistol in both hands, the muzzle of the gun was still smoking, and he looked stunned, as if he couldn't believe that he had shot the thing.

Zi Yang and the others saw that Su Rui fell to the ground and didn't get up, and they screamed in their hearts, it's not good, and they rushed forward one after another.

Su Rui lay on the sand and trembled, his face was pale, and his lips were pale.

Alexander stretched out his two long arms to block the crowd, knelt on one knee and said, "Don't touch her." ”

After all, Alexander is also half a field expert, and he knows that some people are seriously injured, and they can't move their bodies casually when the injury is unknown, otherwise the injury may be aggravated by improper posture.

Alexander looked down and asked, "How are you?" ”

Su Rui said softly, "I seem to have been scratched by that thing on my back. ”

Alexander frowned, gently supported half of Su Rui's body with both hands, and slowly turned her over, the jacket behind Su Rui had been cut several times, revealing the inner fibers. The material of the jacket they are equipped with is very tough, there are several layers of fabric, ordinary knives may not be able to pierce it twice, that thing can cut several layers in one pounce on the back, and the claws are so powerful!

Alexander carefully flipped open Su Rui's coat and lifted the inner layer of tight underwear, revealing the snow-white skin behind him, with a few faint red marks on it. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I only scratched my coat, and it doesn't seem that the injury is serious." ”

Lao Wang also looked down and said professionally, "The skin is not scratched, there is no infection near the wound, but there is some subcutaneous bruise under the pressure of external forces, just rest - obediently, what is that, the claws are so fast." ”

Alexander looked at him with a frown: "You, how can you have a gun?" ”

It was only a matter of a moment since the monster appeared, and everyone was in a hurry, and only now did they notice the smoking pistol in Lao Wang's hand.

Zi Yang naturally knows where he got this gun, last time in the Yewang Mausoleum, Uncle Li and his party were holding this kind of gun to coerce everyone, Lao Wang was not familiar with firearms and was humiliated, presumably this guy was not convinced in his heart, and secretly hid a gun on his body while he was packing up, and he didn't know how he brought it back and brought it out, but looking at his posture just now, he usually didn't think about it or practice.

Afraid that Lao Wang would not be able to lie, Zi Yang hurriedly diverted the topic and said, "It's too dangerous here, that thing may still be nearby, everyone be careful." ”

Alexander nodded and said to Su Rui in English: "To be safe, you should go to my tent to check the wound and get a vaccination-James, you check around the camp to make sure you are safe." ”

Su Rui followed into Alexander's tent, James pulled out the huge dogleg scimitar, walked to the place where the gray shadow was shot down just now, squatted there and observed for a while, and used the dogleg scimitar to pick up a black stain, thinking that the blood that flowed from the gray shadow after being hit by the bullet just now was soaked in the sand.

Ziyang took the scimitar, stretched the stain under his nose and smelled it, a sour smell rushed straight to his head, and Ziyang's head tilted back.

James grinned, took the cutlass and put the stain in a glass test tube and in his pocket.

Zi Yang thought to himself, this stupid big man usually never speaks, his nerves are so big, you almost died just now, you don't look impatient at all.

Lao Wang next door leaned over and accosted: "I said Lao Zhan, where did you get this Nepalese dogleg scimitar?" It's handsome, I want to play with it too. ”

James said slowly: "This is not an ordinary Nepalese scimitar, this is called ColdSteel, which is the best in the Gurkha scimitar, made in the United States." As he spoke, he took a few knife flowers in his hand, and the black blade drew a few perfect arcs in the air, and Lao Wang was stunned.

James glanced at the gun in Lao Wang's hand and asked, "How do you have a pistol?" I remember that China has a strict ban on guns? ”

Seeing that Lao Wang scratched his head and didn't answer, James didn't ask any more questions, and motioned to him: "The posture and technique you fired just now are not right, come, I will teach you a correct posture of holding the gun - Wei French shooting." ”

At this time, Zi Yang saw Su Rui walk out of Alexander's tent, greeted him and asked, "How is it?" ”

Su Rui had already changed into a jacket at this time, and asked with a shocked face, "Just now, what was that?" I've never seen a creature like this, with sharp teeth and hideous faces, like, like a big mouse! ”

Among the few people, only Su Rui saw the appearance of the gray shadow up close, but he was in a panic just now, and he didn't look carefully, plus the thing was as fast as lightning, so he didn't have time to see the appearance clearly.

In a trance, the thing was the size of a monkey, with sharp nails, two long, pointed ears, slender cheeks, two small eyes with black holes, and seemed to have a mouthful of fangs, like a human being.

Su Rui asked Zi Yang, "Have you ever heard of this kind of thing?" ”

Zi Yang pondered for a while and said: "I haven't heard of it, but I only know that there is a rumor, according to legend, there is a monster called Smoke Soul in Lop Nur, which specializes in absorbing people's souls and making people lose their souls, leaving only the body, and is a 'person' who will never die when he sees and eats." ”

Lao Wang leaned up and asked, "Smoke Soul?" Smokers? Is it the smoke ghost we often say, and the smoke ghost becomes after death? ”

Zi Yang is a little embarrassed, this nerd can always unexpectedly disrupt your rhythm: "Smoke Soul is a legend outside the Saiwai, it is said that once, in the village next to Lop Nur, there was a young man herding sheep, one day he found that the sheep were missing a few sheep, and he ran to Lop Nur to see the footprints. The young man was afraid of being scolded by his family, and disregarded the taboos of the elders, so he secretly ran into Lop Nur to look for it. As a result, the lad also disappeared!

Later, the people of the village called a group of young men, brought earthen guns, and invited the local shaman and witch doctor to go to Lop Nur to look for him, but he saw the young man's body in the desert, and only one head was left after being eaten by wolves, but the head was still panting, and his eyes would move. Everyone said that the young man had hit the smoke soul and was sucked into the soul. The moving head was taken away by the shaman, and later I heard that it was burned.

It is said that some people of the older generation have seen this thing, because it comes and goes without a trace, and its actions are as erratic as green smoke, and it specializes in sucking people's souls, so it is called smoke soul. ”

Lao Wang smashed his mouth and said, "This, this is too mysterious." I think it's supposed to be an alien......"

After Lao Wang recently read a few books of "Flying Saucer Exploration", his knowledge has improved a lot, and everything he encounters that he can't understand will be summarized as the work of aliens.

Ziyang sighed and said, "I originally thought it was just a story of local villagers scaring children in order to prevent them from going to Lop Nur. But after the strange thing I just experienced, I don't know what a legend is or what is true. "Talking about looking at Timur, I said in my heart that you are a shaman, and this kind of thing should be stood up and given an explanation, right?

Timur didn't say anything all the way, and was looking at the direction where the gray shadow had disappeared, with a hint of gloom between his eyebrows, and his eyes were deep, as if they were full of endless worry.

After hearing Ziyang's words, he turned his head, and his eyes suddenly returned to a sluggish and numb appearance.

At this time, everyone couldn't decide whether to advance or retreat, and they all looked at Alexander, the leading brother.

Ziyang secretly hoped that this Alexander would retreat from the difficulties and end this dangerous and strange journey as soon as possible.

But Alexander's eyes revealed a kind of heat, as if Ziyang's words had aroused his courage to explore the unknown. With a wave of his hand, he said, "The goal remains the same, let's go!" ”

Zi Yang didn't understand his actions a little, "You also saw the scene just now, what should I do if I encounter this smoke soul again." ”

"You see," said Alexander, "it will get hurt and run away, and maybe it will be more scared than we are, but we are so many and well-equipped that we don't have to worry." ”

What a stubborn guy!

Zi Yang didn't say anything, but he thought in his heart, judging from the way it attacked just now, he really didn't see the appearance of "afraid of people". And after being shot twice by Lao Wang, he can still escape calmly...... Maybe I went back and dragged my family and called a helper......

But he was soft-spoken, and his words didn't carry much weight, so he said softly to Su Rui at the moment, "You don't plan to persuade him?" ”

Su Rui sighed and said, "I am just accompanying me on this expedition, and my uncle specially explained that everything must be based on doctors." And you also know that the more difficult and dangerous they are to engage in research like this, the more they can arouse their interest, and now I want them to turn back, unless they knock him unconscious and carry him back. ”

Zi Yang was very annoyed in his heart, seeing that Lao Wang was staring at the back of Alexander's head in a daze, he poked him and said, "Do you really want to knock him out and carry him back?" ”

Lao Wang pretended to be stupid and said: "Didn't you listen to Xiao Su, this is actually a choice." ”

Zi Yang told him not to be weird, to be vigilant, if the smoke soul comes again, he can only rely on his gun.

Lao Wang patted his bulging waist and said, "Please rest assured, this time I brought all the three magazines and dozens of bullets." ”
