Chapter XXXVIII

Xu Li and I went back to the tent. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Xu Li still had palpitations because of the bloody footprints just now, so she couldn't sleep.

And I, although my daily work is to face the cold corpse, I have not seen the corpse that I can walk, although I am not too afraid, but the strange things tonight make my inner uneasiness continue to swell, and I can't sleep peacefully.

I lay in my sleeping bag for I don't know how long, hazy and fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning. When I woke up, everyone was already working. Maybe people think that there is nothing to do with me now, so no one comes to wake me up. Everyone's looks are not good, maybe because of last night's events, they didn't sleep well.

I found Xu Li nearby, and Xu Li told me that Professor Li had found a tunnel leading to the underground ruins in the Longgu Temple, and now everyone is sorting out their equipment and getting ready. She was about to wake me up.

I ate a little dry food, drank a few sips of water, and also began to pack my bags. Professor Li: The entrance they found was to the left of the main temple chamber of Longgu Temple. A few floors in the vicinity were opened, but they were at least four or five meters down by flashlight, so the large army did not go down at once, but hung down with ropes and ladders made of vines. We tied thick vines to the floor at one end and a stone statue at the other, and forced the exit open to prevent it from closing. We left our bulky electronics and tents outside, and then we went into the underground ruins.

Below was the appearance of a cave, there was no light, and we all walked forward with flashlights. Soon we came to a fork in the road, and we chose the left road to continue walking, and the deeper the road went, the wider it became. It didn't take long to reach the end. Then we went back the way we came, and then we looked at the road on the right. It didn't take long for me to come to an end.

The observant Captain Cao said that the roads on both sides seemed to be exactly the same. At first, I thought it was just the same design on both sides, but after we made the mark, we also walked the road on both sides once, and who knew that we all found the mark we made. But the problem is that the two roads are in opposite directions, and both keep going forward, without turning a corner.

Everyone thinks that this place is extremely mysterious, and some people have raised doubts about ghosts hitting the wall. But no one can be sure. Although I was a medical university student who had been influenced by science, I didn't want to believe in the myths of gods and ghosts, but the experience of Longtou Mountain made me gradually feel that this place is really a bit evil.

Professor Li told the group to rest at the end of the road, and he and the architectural experts Professor Chen and Master Zhang, accompanied by Captain Cao and Ma Liu, went to the vicinity to study carefully.

It's dark all around, and the air is stuffy, which gives people a strong sense of oppression. How could a college student who had just graduated survive this kind of hardship, so Xu Li seemed anxious and irritable. In order to help her eliminate these emotions, I took the initiative to chat with him. The two of us talked about her school days and her family situation. Then her emotions gradually relaxed.

At this moment, the sound of gunshots was suddenly heard in the distance of the passage. Everyone was on alert. The soldiers all took out their pistols from their waists.

"Captain Cao and Ma Liu, they seem to be over there!" Ah Chun said.

I was amazed, why did they shoot? Was it attacked? Is there anyone else here besides us? Or was it attacked by a wild beast?

"I'll bring a few people over to pick it up!" Ah Chun said, "You stay where you are!" He then called a few men and was about to run in the direction of the gunshots.

There was the sound of rushing running ahead. We all shine flashlights on us. I saw Captain Cao and Ma Lu escorting Professor Li, and they ran over quickly. The horse ran at the rear, and he turned back and shot at it as he ran.

"Prepare for battle, there are beasts here!" Captain Cao shouted in this direction.

We shone the flashlight in the direction of the horse's shot. My heart was shocked, and there was a large group of half-human-sized bats on the roof of the cave chasing Captain Cao and them. As soon as the bats saw the light, they all scattered.

Those of us who couldn't meet the battle were surrounded by the soldiers, who started shooting at the huge bats.

"Ahh Xu Li shouted, "Back, be careful!" ”

The soldiers were focused on the group of bats in front of them, not behind them. With Xu Li's shouting, Ah Chun was knocked down. The wall behind us was also full of bats at some unknown time.

Immediately, several soldiers in the back were knocked down.

I saw that Ah Chun seemed to have been bitten. I want to go over and help.

"Don't come here!" Ah Chun said as he pulled out the saber from his waist and cut off the bat's claws with a single sword, the bat let go of Ah Chun in pain, and then he gave the bat a fatal blow with a clean and neat action.

The other soldiers who were pounced on were similarly quick to kill the bats that had been laid on their bodies. Sure enough, he is a well-trained soldier. They immediately stood up and shot in the back with pistols. They can kill a bat almost with a single shot, and their marksmanship is amazing. But despite the death of many bats, the number does not seem to have decreased much.

At this time, Captain Cao and the others have already answered us.

"Captain, there are too many of them." Ah Chun said, "I'm afraid our pistols won't last long." ”

"Ma Liu, change weapons!" Captain Cao said to Ma Liu.

"Yes!" I saw Ma Lu put down his backpack, and several soldiers also threw their backpacks to Ma Liu.

Ma Liu rummaged through several backpacks. He took out a lot of parts. To my surprise, he quickly put the parts together into a flamethrower. This makes me think even more that these soldiers are not here to archaeology, but to fight.

I saw Ma Lu turn on the flamethrower, rush to the front, and spray at the bat. The flamethrower temperature was so high that bats that hit them directly turned into char in a matter of seconds, and the ones on one side were also burned. With such a spray, a large number of bats died.

The bats here are very afraid of light, and the flamethrower has a fairly wide range of illumination, so the bats are already afraid to come near us. In order to deter the bats, Ma Lu took the lead with a flamethrower, and five or six soldiers took cover, chasing the fleeing bats.

At this time, there is a smell of burnt meat around. The ground was littered with charred bat carcasses. There are also some bats that are on fire and scurrying around, and finally burned alive.

Suddenly, a loud noise came from the other side of the passage.

"What sound?" Captain Cao said.

"Ma Liu, a few people are chasing bats over there, should they have an accident?" Ah Chun said.

At this time, there was a rapid running sound in the distance, and I saw Ma Lu and several people running back.

"What's going on?" Captain Cao asked.

"This sucks now!" Ma Liu said, "Just now, our group kept forcing those vampire bats to the end of the road. But the hole we came in was not closed, and in order to make it easier to go back, we forced the hole open with thick vines. In order to prevent the bats from going out to harm people, I kept yearning for the escaped bats to breathe fire, and I didn't pay attention to the vines for a while, and the vines were burned, and the entrance to the cave was then closed. Now what? ”

Everyone was amazed when they heard this!

"So how are we going back? This idiot! The commissioner said.

"Rest assured, there is more than just one entrance to a general underground site." "And the place we came in wasn't a regular entrance, maybe it was just an escape exit left by the craftsmen!" ”

"Are we going to starve to death before we can find an exit?" Xu Li said.

"That's not a problem!" Captain Cao said, "We have prepared rations for all of us for more than a week. And with our equipment, even if we can't find an exit in front of us, it won't be a big problem to go back the way and smash the closed hole. ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

At this time, I found that three members of the team were injured, among which Ah Chun was more serious, and his arm was bitten by a bat. The other two team members were scratched by the bat's claws. But overall, everyone is fine.
