Chapter 445: Punishment and Revenge (I) [Two in One]
Hearing Zhao Xiaotian say that, Zhang Yihan grabbed my hand and shook it violently, and I could feel her body trembling slightly. But she's a good and strong person, and she doesn't scream.
However, the "noise" sound was very close to me. And it was very fast, just more than ten meters in front of us in the blink of an eye.
"Damn, maybe you've really encountered a monster." Zhao Xiaotian's tone suddenly became solemn.
It's not hard to hear that he was obviously joking before, but now it's clearly telling the truth.
It's a pity that the depths of the ground are very dark at this moment, and we can barely see our fingers, and we can't see anything.
I don't know where I threw the flashlight when I threw it into the river, but even if I didn't lose it, I couldn't use it after soaking in the water for so long.
However, at this moment, Zhao Xiaotian suddenly took out a bead emitting bursts of blue light from his arms.
This bead is about the size of an ordinary "dragon's eye", but the light it emits can make us see clearly from twenty or thirty meters away in this dark underground lake.
It's obvious. This bead should be the night pearl that Zhao Xiaotian picked from the secret room. This is the first time I have seen the Night Pearl, and it is estimated that Zhang Yihan is also the first time to see it, Zhao Xiaotian took out the Night Pearl. We were all stunned.
The "we" mentioned here does not actually refer to me and Zhang Yihan, but also to Zhao Xiaotian.
As soon as he took out the pearl of the night, we saw that more than ten meters in front of us, there was a shark-like shark's fin exposed on the water, moving rapidly towards us.
"Why are you still stunned, hurry up and run......" Zhao Xiaotian yelled.
"Let's go......" I pulled Zhang Yihan, turned around and swam quickly in the opposite direction.
When people are in a hurry, they can often do a lot of unexpected things. I wasn't a very good swimmer before, but I thought I was going to be able to compete in a world-class freestyle competition at my speed.
But as I swam, I heard a terrible scream behind me, and when I turned my head, I saw that Zhao Xiaotian's hands were struggling desperately in the water, and he was getting farther and farther away from us, as if something had bitten his leg or something else and dragged him away.
"Brother Zhao......" I exclaimed: "Xiao Han." You go first! ”
Zhao Xiaotian and I are like brothers, seeing this situation, I didn't think about whether I could save him at all, I just thought that I had to go back to save people.
In fact, I barely thought about anything. Just when I turned around and saw Zhao Xiaotian being dragged away, I immediately rushed out desperately.
Sadly, that thing was moving so fast that I couldn't keep up with it.
Seeing Zhao Xiaotian getting farther and farther away from me, my heart was cold, and the most painful thing for me was that Zhao Xiaotian was still splashing in the water, and kept shouting: "Xiaolin, go quickly." Leave me alone...... Leave me alone...... Run......"
He's still thinking about us at this point, and I can't help by watching him being dragged away by monsters. This is a feeling that people who have not experienced it will never understand.
Just when I was disheartened and already desperate, a blinding light suddenly appeared in front of me.
As soon as the light flashed, I heard a violent "screeching" sound not far away. It's as if there's something struggling in the water. And listening to this movement, it is obviously not something that Zhao Xiaotian can get, because this movement is too big.
I was twenty or thirty meters away from him, and the water ripples over there quickly rushed to me in circles and circles.
I didn't think about anything, and I didn't have time to think about it, so I quickly swam forward as fast as I could.
I had been listening to the arguments before, but now that blinding light was guiding me, I had a clear goal, and I seemed to be swimming faster than before.
But when I swam to the spot where the light was, I was stunned.
It turned out that this place had reached the edge of this underground lake, and there were seven or eight people standing on the shore, although they only turned on a flashlight, but with the help of this flashlight, I could see the situation on the shore at a glance.
These people are none other than Li Yao and the others before.
However, at this time, Li Yao and the others were not the object of my attention, and I was most concerned about the man wearing a hat. Low just attracts talents.
Because he was holding a short knife in his hand, the front half of which was stuck in the body of a large "carp". That's all I can say because this fish is too much like a reinforced carp. The scales on its body are too similar to carp, that's why I describe it like that.
The monster looked dead, but it was still terrifying. Because at this time, he was still biting a person in his mouth, and this person was not Zhao Xiaotian.
I guessed correctly before, Zhao Xiaotian was indeed dragged away by this big "carp" biting his leg. Because at this time, the fish is dead, and it is still biting his calf.
In this case, of course, what I am most concerned about is Zhao Xiaotian's life and death, and where can I take care of others.
"Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao......" I called twice in a row.
The man with the hat said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, he can't die!" ”
It was then that I could see the man's face clearly. He seemed to be very young, with a mustache, a white face, he looked like he was in his thirties at most, and most of all, his eyes gave me a somewhat familiar feeling. I seem to have seen him somewhere.
I saw that the man wearing the hat said a word, and then suddenly pulled out another short knife, and slashed at the head of the big carp.
His short knife was very different from the one I'd seen before with the killers of the Thirteen Eagle on a Rainy Night. This is a crescent-shaped scimitar, and the handle is very special, with a semicircular blade of about 20 centimeters, it looks like his knife is made of two scimitars, and the position of his hand is exactly the middle of these two scimitars.
The scimitar seemed to be very sharp, and the man had cut off the head of the fish as thick as my thigh with a single slash.
After the head of the fish was cut off by him, he pulled Zhao Xiaotian out of the water and ashore. Then I saw him pressing indiscriminately on the shore against Zhao Xiaotian's philtrum, neck, abdomen and other places, and then Zhao Xiaotian let out a continuous vomiting sound: "Vomit, vomit......"
At the same time, several people around Li Yao pointed at me at the same time with the AK rifles they were carrying on their chests, and motioned for me to climb up myself.
"Xiaolin, Xiaolin......" At this moment, Zhang Yihan's shout came not far behind me. When I turned my head, Zhang Yihan was swimming towards me and shouting my name loudly.
I didn't tell him to run, because I knew in my heart that it was more dangerous in the water than on the shore.
Looking at Li Yao's appearance, it seems that he doesn't plan to kill us immediately, at least we are safe for now. It is better to fall into his hands than to be eaten raw by this large carp in the water.
When Zhang Yihan swam to me, he also saw the situation on the shore, he looked at me, I shook my head, and said slowly: "Go ashore, it's better than being eaten by this monster in the water!" As I spoke, I pointed to the big fish head on the shore that was still biting Zhao Xiaotian's calf.
Zhang Yihan was very smart, and she guessed what I was thinking at once, so she didn't say anything, moved faster than me, and quickly went ashore.
After we went ashore, Li Yao didn't ask anyone to tie us up this time, but just said to us with a smile on his face: "As long as you are obedient, not only will I not kill you, but after I finish the matter, I will give you a sum of money that you will never use up in your life." ”
"Phew......" Zhang Yihan spat with disdain.
"I'm a muddy horse, such a big fish head?" Zhao Xiaotian squatted on the ground and stared at the big fish head on his calf with palpitations, and then, before everyone could reply, he said something that made Li Yao stunned: "Damn, I haven't eaten such a big fish head, it must taste good......"
"Hehe, it is rumored that Zhao Xiaotian is a joke, and when I saw it today, it really deserved his reputation!" Li Yao smiled.
"You're that Li Yao?" Zhao Xiaotian's head really needs to be used, and it can be turned much faster than me, and he immediately saw that the person in front of him was the Li Yao I said.
"Hehe, I still have a little eyesight!" Li Yao said with a smile.
"Do you know how I recognize you?" Zhao Xiaotian said with a smile.
"Oh? Tell me about it? Li Yao seemed very interested.
"I can look at the face, and under normal circumstances, I can see at a glance the kind of person who has a son without an asshole and a person who can't die well." Zhao Xiaotian shook his head after speaking.
Hearing him say this, everyone was stunned. Not only Li Yao and others, but Zhang Yihan and I were also stunned.
I don't have to think about it, I know this animal is going to be bad......
However, Li Yao's concentration was a little beyond my expectations, he didn't laugh angrily: "Hahahaha, it's a little interesting, I like people like you who are straightforward, what do you say......"
Originally, I thought that Li Yao was really outstanding, but I didn't expect that after he said this, the words suddenly changed: "But people like you usually die miserably." Dump him in pieces and throw him into the lake to feed the fish......"
"Huh......" As soon as Li Yao's words fell, the seven or eight men behind him all pulled out the short knives on their waists. Some of these short knives are the kind of short knives of the Thirteen Eagles on a rainy night, and some are mountain opening knives. I have no doubt that Zhao Xiaotian, who is injured in his leg at this time and is still sitting on the ground, will really be dismantled by them in a few seconds.
Just as I was about to rush over to stop them, the man wearing the hat spoke: "Master, this kid is not the one we met before, it seems that he should have been here for a long time, maybe he is familiar with this." ”
When Li Yao heard the man say that, he immediately shouted in a deep voice: "Stop! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the man wearing a hat: "Brother Xing, can't even you get out of here?" ”
"Having someone familiar to lead the way will save us a lot of things." The man wearing the hat said in a deep voice.
"Well, that's good, I'll listen to you, and I'll spare him a dog's life for the time being." After Li Yao finished speaking, he glared coldly at Zhao Xiaotian, who was sitting on the ground.
The man wearing the hat didn't speak again, just squatted down and used his knife to slowly pry open the big fish head on Zhao Xiaotian's leg, and after throwing the fish head away, he also took out a black pill from his body, chewed it and put it on Zhao Xiaotian's leg.
From this, I can see that this man does not seem to be bad, which makes my impression of him much better.
Zhao Xiaotian also seemed to be grateful to him, and he rarely said "thank you" to the man.
The man ignored him, picked up a flashlight and turned away.
"Watch them well, don't let them play tricks!" After Li Yao said a word to his men, he followed the man wearing the hat.
"Brother Zhao, are you okay?" I walked over and helped Zhao Xiaotian up.
"I'm fine, it's just a pity that the fish head......" Zhao Xiaotian licked his lips. ushered in two pairs of big white eyes of me and Zhang Yihan.
Immediately afterward, the three of us were caught between Li Yao's seven or eight men and burrowed into one of the small caves on the shore.
Not long after entering the cave, I heard a "screeching" sound from the lake that made my scalp tingle, which reminded me of when my mother took me to the park to play when I was a child, and fed the goldfish in the park's artificial lake with fish food.
I have a rough estimate, and I guess that in the place where we went ashore before, at least one or two dozen "big carp" were grabbing food at this time......
We followed Li Yao and them for more than an hour, and the front was finally bright. But when I saw what I saw, my legs trembled.
It was an underground cavern the size of a basketball court, and there were dozens of dried corpses standing neatly around the cave, and there seemed to be only four corners for people to walk sideways to, except for the arch we walked into. Because only those few positions have gaps. Everywhere else, the corpses were lined up neatly and dry, almost airtight.
The dried corpses were all intact, and they were all dressed in swarthy one-piece armor. The kind that is connected to the whole head of the upper body. And they also held a rusty long sword in their hands, and when I first saw them, I thought I had met a zombie army, and my heart was pounding.
The strangest thing is that the walls around this cave are full of traces of being cut by swords. Especially on the roof of the cave, there are several swords inserted.
"Brother Xing, this, these are ......" Even Li Yao seemed to be a little uneasy.
"Don't be afraid, these are specially treated dried corpses, they don't rot for thousands of years, as long as you don't touch them, you'll be fine. You tell everyone to walk carefully and don't touch them. The man surnamed Xing said in a deep voice.
"Cut, if you touch them, they can still have a temper!" Li Yao had a subordinate who said disdainfully.
The man surnamed Xing ignored him, just turned around and continued walking, but he seemed to be very worried about alarming the dried corpses, and he walked in the middle of the cave, deliberately far away from the dried corpses.
The group of us followed him to a corner on the left side diagonally, and when we reached that corner, the man surnamed Xing turned around and explained, "Don't touch these dried corpses, or we will be in big trouble." After speaking, the man surnamed Xing leaned sideways and slipped through the gap.
"Hmph......" After he got inside, someone behind me snorted in a low voice.
It's no wonder that others don't believe it, in fact, I don't believe it a little.
Zhao Xiaotian didn't seem to believe it either, he smiled at me with disdain, and gave me a look, as if he was motioning for me to touch those dried corpses.
I shook my head at him and motioned for him not to mess around. I don't believe that if I touch these dried corpses, they will come back to life like zombies, but I am a little afraid that these dried corpses are poisonous or something.
Zhao Xiaotian glanced at me sideways and didn't say anything more.
Immediately afterward, we followed the man surnamed Xing through the small gap one by one.
It was quite infiltrating to look at these dried corpses, but when they passed them sideways, it was even more infiltrating. Because I felt as if I was going to be intimate with them, especially their empty eyes, I always felt as if they seemed to have eyes, and seemed to be staring at me.
Zhang Yihan and I finally turned sideways through the dried corpses and came to another small cave in the corner. At this moment, I heard Zhao Xiaotian suddenly whisper: "Paralyzed, and said not to touch, Lao Tzu just wants to touch you, see what you can do to me?" ”
I knew it was over, and when I heard him say that, I had a very bad feeling.
As soon as Zhao Xiaotian's words sounded, I had already turned around, and since we had flashlights in front and back, I could see it clearly. It's a pity that I still didn't have time to organize, because when I turned around, I happened to see Zhao Xiaotian slapping one of the corpses.
Luckily, the dry corpse was wearing a suit of armor, so he didn't react at all.
Zhao Xiaotian didn't seem to be planning to stop there, he reached out to grab a long sword held in the cadre's hand, only to see him whisper: "Brother, your sword is good, it looks like an antique, borrow me to play ......"
After Zhao Xiaotian finished speaking, he tried to break the fingers of the dried corpse, but he didn't break them after several times.
That's when the unexpected happened.
I saw that the sword in the hand of the dry corpse suddenly flew up in the air, not only the sword in his hand, but also the swords in the hands of all the other dry corpses, and the most terrible thing was that they flew towards us like a rain of swords.
"Get down quickly...... "The man surnamed Xing shouted.
I reflexively rushed to the ground.
As soon as I was lying on the ground, I felt someone press on me.
"Ding Ding Ding ......" After a burst of gold and stone resonance, it was accompanied by a continuous scream: "Ah, ah......"
After the rain of swords, the scene instantly returned to its previous quiet.
It was only after the person on top of me got up that I slowly got up from the ground. At a glance, where Zhao Xiaotian was standing before, dozens of long swords were scattered horizontally and vertically within a radius of ten meters. The four men who walked behind Zhao Xiaotian before, each of them had at least five swords on them.
"Damn, revenge, what the hell happened?" Li Yao roared hysterically. It was also at this time that I learned that the man wearing the hat was called Torture Revenge.
"It must be your people who have touched the dried corpse, I have warned me several times, and I can't complain about it." Xing Qiu said coldly.
At this moment, Zhao Xiaotian said something that I wanted to strangle him to death: "Damn, the old criminals told you not to move, but you just didn't listen, now it's okay, see if you still believe in evil!" ”
"Torture, haven't you been here before, why did you have one after another accidents after coming in!" Li Yao lost a few more subordinates, and his temper was obviously not as good as before.
It was only after hearing his words that I realized that this criminal revenge had been here before, so it was no wonder that he seemed familiar with this place.
Xing Qiu didn't speak, and strode forward, Li Yao seemed to be unable to follow.
Just as he hesitated for less than three seconds, I saw a boulder suddenly fall from the top of the cave where the torture had walked, and the torture was gone.
At this moment, Zhao Xiaotian suddenly shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze, do it!" As soon as Zhao Xiaotian's shout fell, he pounced on Li Yao's three remaining men.
