Chapter 7: Attacked
Early the next morning, we were called out by the pangolin people. With my hands tied, I slept super uncomfortably, and there was no place on my body that wasn't uncomfortable. When we were kicked out, the pangolins were standing on a large rock watching the mountain, and it is said that these diggers have an ancestral craft and can tell where there will be burials based on the movement of the mountain, but I doubt it. The pangolin stood there for about twenty minutes before jumping off the rock and pointing in the direction to the crowd, who walked in the direction he had pointed.
After walking for about two hours, we finally came to the ridge he was referring to. Shuangqiao Mountain is a zigzag mountain range, and we are located right in the shade of a corner mountain. The pangolin looked around, pointed to a rocky place, and said to the group, "If my guess is correct, the entrance to this cave should be there." "Strange to say, the whole mountain is lush and wooded, except for the small area in the shade of the mountain, there is not a single tree, all of them are boulders of three or five meters. When the people heard that the entrance was there, they eagerly walked towards the rocks, and the three of us were escorted over. When we walked into this stone forest, we found that although this stone forest was very small from a high place, if a few people went in alone, they would definitely get lost in it. The boulders are all three to five meters high, and the entire stone forest is about 100 meters square. Seeing this, everyone didn't dare to rush in, and they all stood outside and waited for the pangolin to come.
The pangolin walked over and walked around the stone forest and took a closer look. Then he said to everyone: "I see that this stone array is secretly combined with the five elements, I'm afraid that there are indispensable mechanisms in it, let the three of them walk in the front, and we will follow them in." "As soon as he finished speaking, someone came and pushed me, pushing the three of us into the stone forest. These boulders were sparsely located, and there were exits everywhere, and we walked straight through the nearest entrance, and the men followed us sparsely with weapons.
Although it was very easy to enter this stone forest, once we entered, we would find that we were full of stones in all directions, and for a while we didn't know which direction to go, so we had to stop. The pangolin followed us and showed us the way, and we followed the direction he pointed out. But we didn't go far to find several paths, and then the pangolin hesitated and thought for a while before pointing us in the right direction.
In this way, we walked around the stone forest for more than three hours. I know, we're lost. Although the pangolin still affirms us every time he shows us the way, the distance of more than 100 meters can be reached in ten minutes, even if it takes more than three hours to circle around. The other guys had already guessed that we were lost at this point, and whispered a few words from time to time.
Just when the pangolin was about to lose control of the situation, an accident saved him. As we walked slowly, we suddenly heard the screams of a man behind us, followed by the sound of various weapons. I looked back, but our line was so far away that I couldn't see what was going on behind me. The pangolin not far away didn't know what was going on, and just as he was about to ask, someone on our side suddenly screamed, and then I heard the sound of gunfire. It was the pangolin who shot, it turned out that someone from our side had been attacked just now, and the pangolin had very good marksmanship, and he actually killed that guy with one shot.
I walked over and saw that it was an animal I had never seen before, thirty or forty centimeters long and twenty centimeters high, with black fur like a puppy. But the little thing's head was huge, and it looked a little nondescript against the little body, and two thick canine teeth protruded from its mouth like two small daggers. Is this the same thing that attacked us before?
Just when I wanted to look at it twice, there were suddenly screams from the crowd, and when I looked up, my scalp was numb. The boulders here and there are such beasts standing here, and several of us have been pounced on by those guys. Without thinking much about it, I turned my head and hurriedly ran forward, and Nangong and Officer Li also ran at this time.
But there were so many of them, and we didn't have to take a few steps before a few of them hung on me. I screamed in pain and rolled on the ground to shake the pesky guys out. As soon as I stood up, I heard Nangong say: "Protect your neck, don't care about other places, don't care about how far you can run in the direction." "Since my hands were tied, I had to cover my neck with my hands and run forward desperately. Even if I was bitten by those guys, I could bear it, and I couldn't help but roll on the ground, then get up and run forward.
Nangong and Officer Li were in front of me, and the situation of the two of them was not much better, but fortunately we ran fast, although there were more than a dozen strange beasts following us, but most of them were still surrounding those behind. In a panic, I stepped on the air and fell directly to the ground. Just as I was about to stand up, several strange beasts jumped on me and opened their mouths to bite me, and I screamed in pain, but I didn't have the strength to stand up again. Seeing this, Nangong and Officer Li, who were running in front, wanted to come to save me, but there were several strange beasts around them, and they were beyond the reach of the whip for a while.
Just as I was rolling on the ground in pain, several gunshots rang out from behind, and I only felt a light on my body, and the strange beasts had died beside me. Without much thought, I desperately got up and ran forward, and at this time there was one more person next to me, but it was a pangolin. Could it be that he just saved me? Why is this guy willing to stop and shoot me when he is in such danger?
I exposed his gang to the eyes of the police and indirectly ruined his business for many years, why would he save me? Is there anything in me that deserves his risk? But I don't know what I have in him that deserves his attention. The two of us ran side by side, and since he was a good marksman, every now and then he fired two shots backwards and a few strange beasts would get shot, and my situation was better.
At this time, we have caught up with Nangong and them, and at this time there are no bullets in the pangolin's pistol, but fortunately, his skills are also good, which greatly alleviates our crisis. But to make matters worse, some of the best people behind us also rushed out, slowly approaching us, and at the same time brought a large army of strange beasts with them. We had no choice but to run as hard as we could, not only against the beasts, but also against those behind us. Listening to the screams one after another, my heart was extremely numb, when you really face death, other people's lives are not so important. We ran forward mechanically for half an hour, but we still didn't get out of the stone forest.
The people behind finally caught up with us, and brought with them a large number of strange beasts, but these strange beasts were much fewer than before. There may be some strange beasts busy moving the corpses back to their lair. There were only three people left who caught up, one was the lean man and the fat man who was going to kill us, and the other was a middle-aged man with a black face. I admired this fat guy from the bottom of my heart, and God knows how this guy who was two laps fatter than me managed to get to the lead in this marathon.
At this time, Nangong and I ran in front, and the three of them ran behind, and most of those strange beasts were blocked by the three of them, and our situation was better. However, the three of them slowly approached and finally caught up, and suddenly the pressure on us began to increase. The beasts are desperately pounced on me, and as soon as they jump on you, they will plunge those two sharp canine teeth into your flesh as soon as possible. I had no choice but to repeat the old trick while holding my neck and running forward desperately.
After all, the fat man in the back is limited in size, and his speed is still a little slower than ours, plus his body is too wide, so he can make several alien beasts lie on it at the same time, which makes him a key target for alien beasts. When he was bitten by several strange beasts, he didn't care about them, but reached out and grabbed my shoulder, trying to pull me behind his back. But how can I get along with each other, in so many years of intrigues, I am not slow to start, I directly turned my head and bit his fingers. This time I used all my strength, and he was bitten so much that he couldn't even care about the strange beast behind him, so he stopped and shook his hand violently. I was pulled by him, and suddenly several strange beasts also stared at me, and jumped on top of me at the opportunity. But even though it hurt a little, I could only rush forward regardless of it.
The fat man was yin by me, but he was not pounced, and finally followed. Seeing the beasts behind me getting closer and closer, I knew that if this continued, we would all die here. The fat man had three strange beasts hanging from him, but his speed was not affected in the slightest, and in the blink of an eye he caught up with us again. Just when he grinned and almost couldn't stand it anymore, he grabbed Officer Li and threw him directly behind. Although Officer Li is a good person, he has very little contact with these grave robbers, and he does not know how bad a person can be when his life is threatened. In addition, his hands were tied, and his attention was all on the road in front of him, so he fell directly into those alien beasts. In the blink of an eye, it was overwhelmed by the alien beasts.
Seeing this, Nangong wanted to run over to save him, but I was held back by me and pulled her to run forward desperately, because I knew that if I stopped, I would only die.
