Chapter 6: Night Raid
I crawled out of the hole with my hands and feet. In an instant, I felt that my surroundings became open. But it was just a feeling, and it was still dark all around, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
Vaguely, I seemed to hear the sound of running water. I immediately turned the flashlight to bright light mode and shone it in all directions. Under a pillar of light, at first glance, I saw a huge tree. The thick roots reach into the ground, the trunks are covered with moss, the branches are luxuriant, and the branches are hung with snake-like silk - it is a scene of a tropical rainforest.
What is this place?
It feels like a rainforest, but not quite right. For I could clearly see the huge round dome that had collapsed overhead, and the stone walls around which the image of the human-faced snake god was carved.
Many of the carvings have been blurred, and the water flows down the stone walls, forming one cascade after another......
Something is wrong, why does this place look so familiar?
I took two steps forward and suddenly fell into a pool of water with a "pop". I was soaking wet, scared half to death, and I jumped to my feet, only to find that the water was only up to my calf.
The water was icy but very clean. I picked it up and washed my face, the smell of the fish that haunted me dissipated here, and the burns on my body were soothed.
Straightening up, I continued to look around. Slowly, I saw the stone steps, the corridors and countless gravel blocks...... Suddenly, I realized as if I had woken up from a big dream.
Isn't this the same hall where the girl and I met in the first place?
This place should be in the ancient city of Xuanyuan, how did I come here? But then I think about it, it's not right! On the meadow, I saw that the ancient city of Xuanyuan was still far away in the sky, and when I entered this soil cave, even if I was fast, it was impossible for me to go so far at once, could it be that I misjudged? Or do I have a wrong impression of the geographical location of this ancient city of Xuanyuan?
Dripping with water, I cautiously walked forward. The huge circle of light formed by the flashlight swayed back and forth in this ruin-like scene, like a huge white monster, illuminating the things under the light and shadow. I slowed my breathing and tried not to make a sound in the water, when I suddenly saw two black figures on the bluestone slab not far away.
I was so startled that I almost got into the water. It was a bit far away, and I couldn't really see it, but I saw the two of them lying motionless on the stone slab, their bodies twisting in a strange posture.
I made up my mind, and it was only when I saw the clothes scattered around them, and the half-naked body of one of them—that these two men were the girl's men, and that they were dead when I first saw them.
At that time, my equipment and shoes were all taken off one of them by the girl. Later, we were in a hurry, and we didn't care about dealing with their corpses, so we were so violent in the wilderness, and now I think about it, it's really Amitabha.
In front of the two corpses, there was an aloe vera. I walked in that direction with trepidation, cut off a section with a knife, squeezed out the juice and applied it to the wound. This thing works especially well on burns, and if you bring it back to your glasses, he should be happy to die.
As I was doing it, I looked up and stumbled upon the feet of one of the corpses. The corpse had begun to turn, and feces and urine were dripping all over the ground. I saw the shoes on his feet and was amazed! These shoes are exactly the same as the one I saw at the entrance of the cave!
Could it be that he was standing at the entrance of the cave just now? But he's dead!
…… Fraud corpse again? (Wait, why do I say "again"?) )
For a moment, I was so startled that I froze in place, forgetting even the movements of my hands. The surroundings suddenly fell silent, I heard a noise behind me, and when I looked back, something seemed to be breaking through the wind in the darkness, and I reflexively lowered my head and flashed, only to hear the sound of "bang" behind my head. I hurriedly used my flashlight to trace the past, and two or three meters behind me, a palm-sized metal object was deeply inserted into the trunk of a tree.
What the hell is this?
I looked closely at the metal object on the tree, and it was a boomerang. For a moment, I thought again of the feet I saw at the mouth of the earth cave...... Damn, someone's working on a secret weapon!
I was about to get up when another thing swept my sideburns and flew over, my ear was cut, it felt hot, and when I touched it with my hand, it was all blood!
I said in my heart that it is impossible for a beast to use a weapon, but it must be a man who can use a weapon! Dog day! It's people who are still so unparticular about doing things, don't blame the master, you're welcome!
I extinguished the flashlight and quickly pulled out a palm mine from my waist bag. This one is about the same size as the one the girl used at the beginning, only two bullets, but it is very powerful. Although I may not be able to get on the head, I can still shoot a few shots to scare and scare the other party.
It was dark, I couldn't see anything, and I thought in which direction would it be better to shoot? Blindly wasting bullets, of course, is not advisable. I was thinking about it, and suddenly an arm was strangled on my neck, and before I could react, I tripped under my feet, and I suddenly lost my center of gravity and was thrown to the ground on the spot.
I struggled to get up and tried to resist, and then a weight of nearly 200 pounds pressed against my back, so hard that I almost fainted. Immediately, I scolded in my heart. I grass! Where did people come from? Why is there no sound at all? The ground is almost full of water, and it's impossible to walk in the water without making a sound!
After being suppressed like this, I realized that it was impossible to turn over again. The hand I was holding the gun was trampled on by someone, and my bones were about to break, and I howled involuntarily. At this time, I suddenly realized that there was not only one person who restrained me, but more than three. Just now, I was still complaining in my heart about how I could be so cowardly, but when I thought that I might be in 1V5, it would not be a loss of face, and my heart immediately became much more balanced.
"A few masters...... If you have something to say, you have something to say...... "I endured the pain and was busy begging for mercy." At that moment, a white light pierced my face, and I squinted to see that it was my flashlight.
In the harsh light, I saw five, 10, 20...... I grass! What's going on? It's full of people!
I didn't know any of them, but they were all shirtless, with their hair draped, and their upper bodies dressed in strange ornaments, and they were staring at me with indifferent, even cold, expressions of all sorts of weapons in their hands.
Who are they? You're not going to kill me, are you? I couldn't figure out the situation, racked my brain, and was about to try to say something, when in the dimness I faintly saw a familiar face, squeezing through the crowd, standing in front of me. When I saw him, I cried.
"Relatives!" I yelled, "Dadong, help me!" ”
