Chapter 20 Diverting the Tiger from the Mountain

We immediately turned around, and Fat quickly pulled up the bolt and loaded the bullet. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoTwo flashlights quickly strafed the roof of the cave, but found nothing. We looked farther away, but we still didn't see anything.

"One is gone!" I said, "But be careful, based on previous experience, there's a good chance they'll gather a swarm of blood bats and come back to attack us!" ”

"I'm afraid he has teeth!" "Now that my brother has a folding shotgun, I'll wait here for them to come back!" ”

"Don't think you're going to cut off your teeth with a folding shotgun!" I said, "You didn't have a lot of bullets, and we're going to die!" We need to be ready to return to the Enlightened Star and their side. They have plenty of ammo to help us fight off the Blood Bats! ”

"Cut!"

Fat Bao and I shine flashlights on the top of our heads back to back, ready to meet the blood bats that may come back. I have two thoughts in my heart, one is that if the number of blood bats is small, Fat Bao and I will return to the original point after destroying the blood bats and calculate the time to get out of the mechanism anew. Second, if there are too many blood bats to deal with, they will have to attack all the way and retreat all the way to the original point. Both thoughts ended up going back to square one, so I subconsciously kept an eye on the direction of the rope in order to get back along the rope faster. I looked back along the rope and couldn't see the end, I guess I was still some distance from the starting point.

"Ke Shao, what's going on? We've been waiting for minutes, and we haven't even seen a single blood bat hair! "Do they know that we have guns in our hands and are afraid of us?" ”

"Fat Bao, can you use your brain to think about the problem? Blood bats are animals, how do they know that you have a folding shotgun in your hand, how do they know that folding shotguns are very lethal at close range! ”

Fat Bao said with a grin: "I see that the atmosphere is so tense, just kidding!" ”

"Kidding your boss, life is at stake! Show me the tightness! ”

"Yes, boss!"

"Still playing! Believe it or not, I'm going to beat you! ”

"I didn't play!" Fat Bao said with a grin.

We waited for a few more minutes, and this highly stressful wait really felt like a year, and every minute felt like an hour or two. But there was still no movement around, and no creaky sound was heard from blood bats.

"Why are there only two blood bats this time?" I wondered, "Bats are social animals and rarely act alone." Why didn't the one who left go go back and call for help? ”

"Ke Shao, are you kidding too? How can the blood bat go back and call for help! ”

"Haven't you seen "Animal World", the baby elephant went to the river to drink water, was bitten by a crocodile on the nose, and planned to swallow the elephant, but the baby elephant called a few times, and the elephant herd came. At this time, it is not the turn of the crocodile to be fierce. ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! What you say is always right. What I say is always wrong! ”

"It's good to know!" Curious, I slowly walked to the blood bat that was lying not far in front of me that had been shot by Fat Bao.

Since the bullets used in the shotgun are steel balls, and dozens of them will be fired at the same time in one shot, the blood bat in front of him has been beaten to a thousand holes. I looked at it for a while, and realized that something was wrong with the corpse of the blood bat, so I hurriedly squatted down to take a closer look.

"Ke Shao, why are you putting on such a frightened expression!" Fat Bao walked over and asked.

"You do a good job of vigilance, I want to check this blood bat corpse!" I said, "I'll tell you when I'm done!" ”

I flipped over the Blood Bat with my brawling saber and turned the Blood Bat around.

"What are you looking for?" Fei Bao asked.

"I'm looking for the fatal wound of this blood bat!"

"What is there to find! As soon as the shotgun passed, it had bloomed all over its body, and it was mortally wounded all over its body! ”

"Found it!" I said in surprise.

"Are you blowing water? Where are the fatal wounds? Fei Bao also came over to take a look.

"I finally know why the blood bats are social creatures, but I haven't seen any other blood bats attacking us yet." My thoughts scared me even more.

"Why?"

"Look at this blood bat, it's all over the ground from your shotgun. But not much blood came out of it! ”

"Seems to be!"

"Prove that the Blood Bat was dead before you were shot with a folding shotgun, and its blood had already started to clot, so I was looking for a fatal wound just now!"

"Wait a minute, no! I just saw this blood bat hanging upside down on the roof of the cave, and I shot it before it fell! Can a dead blood bat do it? Don't tell me that the blood bat will also cheat corpses these days, and when it dies, it will run up and hang upside down to scare us! I don't even believe it. ”

"Listen to me finish the previous inference, your mind is jumping too fast. Look at its neck! I said, "The wound in the neck is the fatal wound." This blood bat was bitten into a major artery in its neck and died of excessive blood loss! ”

"And then?" Fei Bao said, "What will be the bite of Dongsi!" ”

"Remember how many different species footprints there were in the storage room? Maybe the animals did it, or maybe the mountain ghosts did it. ”

"What about the beasts and ghosts? It's not that we're scared, we ran away! Why are you afraid of being like this! Looking at you like this, I guess the bottoms are wet! ”

"Now back to the question of whether your blood bat is a corpse!" I wiped the sweat from my face and said, "The answer is no." The blood bat didn't just hang on the roof of the cave after death, but ran away from the thing and deliberately put it on. ”

"Purpose? Do you put it on it to air dry and make blood bat bacon? ”

"The goal is to divert our attention and then take the opportunity to run away after us!" My heart was beating unusually fast," I had already speculated that mountain ghosts were intelligent creatures. I don't know if the thing that escaped is a mountain ghost, but this thing will also use the Tiger Separation Trick to prove that at least one species here has a high IQ! ”

"No, it won't! I've never heard of any animal that can make such a high-level trap! At this time, Feibao was also scared.

"I guess the intelligence of that thing that escaped is higher than that of your pig!"

"Your boss, you're going to die if you step on it for a while!"

"My guess is that the thing that ran away was dragging the blood bat away." I shone my flashlight near the dangling rope, which was obviously dragging nearby, "because there is no light here, and they all rely on their sense of smell and hearing, so I guess they inadvertently pulled our rope while dragging the blood bats." The sound we heard earlier was supposed to be its dragging.

When we noticed that the rope was being pulled, we walked back. As we were about to get here, the runaway thing found us. It dragged or bit the blood bat from the pillar to the top of the cave, and it was at this time that our rope hung from the pillar. Maybe there wasn't enough time for it to escape, and for fear of being discovered, we hung the blood bat carcass on the roof of the cave and then crawled to the other side. When all our attention was focused on the blood bat, it took the opportunity to escape. ”

"Is that thing as godly as you say?" Fei Bao said, "This thing is probably a mountain ghost, right?" Isn't it recorded in the diary that the mountain ghosts are fierce? Why don't you attack us? ”

"You ask me, who do I ask?"

"So what now?"

"Your boss, can you have a second sentence?"

"My boss's, I would have said it a long time ago if I could have a second sentence!"

I sighed, I must not be reliable in terms of eating brains. So I didn't argue with him anymore. After rechecking the safety of my surroundings with a flashlight, I said, "Take the rope back, let's go back the way we came first, and tell them about the incident!" ”

"Don't you measure time? If something happens, we still won't be able to get out! ”

"Even if you measure the time, you have to go back to the original point and test again. Now we have turned back, delayed a lot of time, and the calculated time is not accurate! Besides, I'm worried about Hotaru too. We shouldn't be far from the starting point here, I don't know if they will bump into the mountain ghosts! ”

"Then let's go back and have a look!"

"Hmmm! Be vigilant when you go back! ”

Fat Bao is vigilant with a folding shotgun in both hands, so I can only collect the rope. I removed the rope that hung from the pillar and was about to retract it. At this point I was surprised to find footprints next to the pillar.

"Fat Bao, look here!" I pointed to the footprints next to the pillar and said, "This proves my suspicion even more, this footprint must have been left by that thing!" ”

Fat Bao immediately came over and said in surprise: "Really! This footprint is a bit like a human footprint, but without the paws of the hind feet! Do you say this mountain ghost is a human or a ghost? ”

"The image of a mountain ghost is a humanoid creature that can climb, and it is not surprising that it leaves footprints that resemble a human!" I said, "I'm scared of mountain ghosts, but curiosity drives me to know what kind of creatures they are!" ”
