Chapter 6: Goodbye Pangolins

The three of us spent the night in a farmhouse, and the next morning we drove to Shuangqiao Mountain. Officer Li was a little excited, maybe this was the biggest case he had encountered since he joined the police. We took turns driving for seven or eight hours, and finally came to the nearest village to Shuangqiao Mountain. The village is still far from Shuangqiao Mountain, but there is no road further in, and the car can no longer drive here. We had to leave our car at a farmer's house and hike into the mountains with our gear on our backs. Luckily, we brought some of our usual gear, and we changed into hiking boots and one-piece assault suits before going up the mountain, this inaccessible mountain forest is full of countless poisonous insects, and those guys are the deadliest, so we can avoid injuries as little as possible.

Before going up the mountain, we have already inquired about the route to climb the mountain, this Shuangqiao Mountain is deep in this mountain range, and we need to go through several layers of mountain circles to get there. For a fat man like me, who doesn't exercise all year round, this mountaineering experience is simply a capital punishment, in the first two hours, I can barely keep up with the footsteps of the two of them, and finally my equipment reaches the two of them, but I am still left behind by the two of them from time to time. Wiping the sweat on my face, I complained to Nangong Ruomo: "Sister policeman, you are asking for my own life." ”

Nangong Ruomo glanced at me with disdain and said, "No wonder you didn't marry a wife, with your physique, it's useless to marry a wife." I couldn't say a word for a long time with this sentence, and even Officer Li, who was usually quite serious, couldn't help laughing. This Officer Li is still good, and most of my equipment has gone to him.

Just as I was proposing to take a break, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the surrounding woods, and the three of us were surrounded before we could react. There were more than thirty of them in total, some of them were holding ** in their hands, and some were holding bows and crossbows that had been prepared.

The pangolin walked out of the crowd and said to Nangong Ruomo: "You are really ghostly, chasing from Henan to Qinghai." As he spoke, he motioned for his men to come and take down their weapons, and tied up the three of us. The pangolin looked at us back and forth, smiled and said to Officer Li, "Do you think what your idiot is doing can fool me?" If it weren't for the big fish of you, I'd have shot him when he first appeared. ”

Officer Li said coldly to the pangolin, "What did you do to him?" ”

The pangolin sneered and winked at the people under him. Two men walked deeper into the woods, and soon they came out with a woven bag, which was still in front of us. The woven bag was stained with blood, and I could smell it from a distance. A man walked over and opened the woven bag, and I saw a corpse, half a corpse to be exact. The corpse had no head, and had been split in half diagonally from its left shoulder. Looking at the exposed carrion and the scattered internal organs, I knelt down and vomited.

As I knelt down and vomited, I vaguely heard the noise and the sound of punching and kicking, thinking that Officer Li could not bear the blow of losing his colleague and had a confrontation with the pangolin. I managed to contribute all the contents of my stomach to the forest as fertilizer, and I finally regained some consciousness. Looking at the two men, he saw that they had some injuries on their bodies.

A big fat man dressed in homespun clothes looked at us and said to the pangolins, "Just kill them and save them trouble." ”

I looked at the pangolin with some nervousness, knowing that he was the one who would decide our life and death now. However, I noticed that the pangolin was also looking at me, with a hint of fear in its eyes. It was a short moment, but I'm sure he was scared of me! But what do I have to fear him? I don't have his handle, let alone the strength to fight him, and besides, I'm almost ready to kill now, and it's a matter of one sentence if he wants to kill me, but he's actually afraid of me, what is he afraid of?

Just as I was thinking about it, the pangolin shook his head and said, "In a few days, I need a few people to explore the way, so I will spare their lives first, so as to save time for my brothers." After saying that, he asked a few people to tie us up, and a group of people escorted us and began to walk deeper into the mountain.

This journey took another seven days, although the journey was quite hard, but fortunately there was no danger along the way, we finally arrived at Shuangqiao Mountain, this damn mountain is inaccessible, there is not even a bridge, I don't know which boring guy named this mountain Shuangqiao Mountain.

The pangolins were a little excited, and they were all looking around for something. Only the pangolin was indifferent, and he said to the crowd: "The thing is down there, you can't run." We'll rest tonight and check the terrain tomorrow to see if we can find the entrance. "Although everyone was quiet for the time being, I could still see that the pangolin did not have much binding force on this temporary tomb robbery team, after all, it was not the person he brought out, and he might temporarily obey his command under the temptation of interests, but once everyone entered the tomb, they would definitely turn against him after getting the artifact. Could it be that such a simple truth pangolin would not have imagined? Or is he now in a hurry and has no choice? Or does he have other plans?

After all, there was no specific location that had not been found, and everyone still set up tents according to the requirements of the pangolins, and at the same time found a few people to take turns to watch the night. We were given a tent, and although our hands were tied, the pangolins didn't bother us too much and gave us something to eat. Both Officer Li and Nangong Ruomo had some injuries on their bodies, but they were all skin injuries, which would not affect their activities. The three of us discussed privately to see if there was a way out of the predicament, but in the end there was nothing we could do.

Because of my poor health, I was so tired that I fell asleep in a daze after talking to them. I don't know how long I slept, I was woken up by a noisy noise, and I barely sat up, and I was shocked to find that Nangong and Officer Li were not in the tent. Could it be that while I was asleep, the two of them were taken away? Shall I go out and find them? After thinking about it for a while, I gritted my teeth and walked out of the tent. Our tent was surrounded by a fire, so even though it was dark outside, I could still see a group of people gathered around the fire, including Nangong and Officer Li. I slowly approached, but there were so many people that I couldn't see what was going on inside for a while. Arching on Nangong's body, I whispered to her, "What happened?" ”

Nangong saw that it was me, nodded at me, and said, "The night watchman died, and we just heard the screams and ran out, but we didn't see what killed the two of them." ”

Pangolins have more experience in tomb robbing, and he arranged for a group of two people to keep vigil so that they could take care of each other, but this time he didn't expect that the two people would be killed at the same time, and no warning was issued. While these people were talking, the pangolin coughed quickly and said to everyone, "Who found out first?" ”

A lean man stood up and said to the pangolin: "I ran out when I heard their screams, only to find that the two of them were dead. ”

The pangolin frowned and asked, "Did you see anything?" ”

The lean man thought for a moment and said, "I only saw a shadow scurrying across the tree and then disappeared, but I didn't see what it was. ”

The pangolin nodded solemnly and said to the three men: "Bury these two people first, and from now on, the four of them will keep vigil together." ”

Four men came to carry the two bodies away, and it was then that I had a chance to take a look at the two men, both of whom had been bitten into two large holes in their necks, and the blood was staining their entire chests red from their clothes. It seems that tomb robbery is not easy, high returns at the same time bear high risks, not only to fight with the ancients' organs, sometimes even don't know where the guy will give you a bite.

Seeing that the two people had been able to be carried away, everyone was ready to go back to sleep, and those who did their job had already looked away from life and death, not only the lives of others, but even their own lives were not too important. At this moment, a person's screams came from the darkness, followed by a gunshot, which was the sound of **, which was very loud but not as powerful as a real pistol. At the same time as the gunshots rang out, a strange beast roar came, saying that it was strange because I had never heard such an animal cry, and that I could not find an adjective to describe the sound for a while. The group hurriedly ran in the direction of the gunshots, the same direction in which the two corpses had just been carried away.

When I ran over with the crowd, I only saw that three people had fallen in a pool of blood, and only one person was leaning against a big tree, trembling there with a ** in his hand. At this time, the man was very emotional, and pointed at the gun in his hand indiscriminately. The pangolin glanced at the lean man, and the lean man slowly walked up to the man and snatched the ** in his hand, so fast that even my eyes didn't keep up.

The pangolin slowly walked up to the man and asked, "What just happened?" ”

The man's ** was snatched, but he didn't reflect in the slightest, squatting there with his head in his hands and trembling, and he didn't hear the words of the pangolin at all.

The pangolin sighed, stood up and slapped the man a few times with his bow left and right, until he staggered and almost fell to the ground. The man finally reacted after being beaten, stared straight at the pangolin, and said, "Yes...... Something is attacking us. ”

The pangolin asked coldly, "Do you see what that thing looks like?" ”

The man nodded and said, "It's so fast, I only saw something about the size of a puppy, with black hair and a surprisingly large head." As soon as the shadow flashed, they were dead, and I fired a random shot, as if I had hit one, but still told it to run away. ”

The pangolin frowned, as if he didn't know what it was, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head and said to everyone, "Let's go back and rest, and try not to come out alone." Everyone walked in the direction of the tent, but I heard the whispers of the people in private, and knew that there was something unusual about these things, and that these old diggers had never seen them. I was even more worried in my heart: I hadn't seen that guy yet, and I had already lost five people, and I don't know how many people who survived this trip and could go back alive.
