"I, I saw it was dark in there, I was scared, so I ......, so I shot." The soldier stammered.

"Bastard!" With a "snap", Moriki left a string of handprints on the soldier's face.

"Hey!" The soldier did not resist, stood up straight, and bowed again. Just kidding, in the Japanese army, let alone a slap, even if you are shot directly, you have to stick your head out, and don't make the leader work hard enough.

"Don't shoot indiscriminately, but if you do encounter an abnormality, you don't need to ask for instructions!" Although this time it was the soldier who was afraid that something like this happened, Moriki still did not change the order.

In this unknown environment, no one can guarantee what will happen in the next second. If they wait for the order to shoot, maybe they will pay a huge price. Giving the soldiers the initiative may save the lives of the troop members.

As the troops continued to set off, the men became more cautious, holding their guns and keeping their eyes as wide as possible for fear of missing something. Some people had sweat running down their faces.

"Woo, woo, woo, woo~", the originally peaceful hill suddenly came out with a howl of animals. First one, then two, three, until later, almost the whole valley was filled with the cries of the animals.

"Did you see anything else?" Moriki half-crouched in the middle of the crowd, looking very vigilant, looking in all directions of the mountainside. But they saw nothing.

"Nope. The sounds seemed close and yet far away. Isn't it an echo in the valley? The leader of the soldiers said. He has always been by Moriki's side, protecting the captain of the archaeological team at all times.

"No, the echo is not the same as the original, it must have come from the animal itself. It's just that this kind of cry is so strange, not like a jackal, a tiger or a leopard, but like a bird, but I have never heard such a sound. Moriki pricked up his ears and carefully discerned.

"I haven't heard it either, but it feels like I've been attacked, and the sound is a bit like a cry for help, not like a scream." The soldier commander also listened and said.

"Are you sure the voice isn't attacking, it's being attacked?" Moriki was a little skeptical.

"Yes, I can be sure. We've been wandering around the field a lot for years, and I've studied it carefully, and it's a sound that they make when they're attacked. I couldn't tell what the animals were, but I was sure they were under attack, and there was fear and cries for help in their voices. ”

"But it doesn't seem like one or two, it's all over the place, what animal can happen like this? Could it be that two species are fighting? "The voices were coming from all directions, and it was impossible to tell what was going on.

"Morimu-kun, we must get out of here as soon as possible. Whichever side wins, we may face a strong adversary. The leader of the soldiers said.

"Yes, we need to find a safe place as soon as possible, at least until they have all retreated. Mr. Wang. Sen Mu called Mr. Wang over.

"Taijun, what are your orders?" Mr. Wang immediately ran over. The local mountain runners had long been scared out of their minds. They couldn't understand what the two Japanese were saying, but people who had been running the mountains all year round were already familiar with the sounds of various animals. They also had a bad feeling from the cry.

"Mr. Wang, can you hear what kind of animal this is?"

"Taijun, this is the first time we have heard this kind of voice. But something big should have happened. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many distress signals sent out at the same time. Mr. Wang said.

"What do you say? Is this a distress signal? Mori Mu was puzzled, the two of them were people with different identities from different countries, but they made the same judgment.

"Yes, such a voice can only be like this in the most desperate times. They must have encountered something extremely terrifying, otherwise they wouldn't have screamed so miserably. Mr. Wang said affirmatively.

"What happens to them?" Sen Mu said as if to himself, "Everyone stop, you guys come here." ”

A few of his designated men trotted over and waited for his instructions.

"You two go to the high rock and take a look, you two take a guide to find the way to the top of the mountain, and the others rest in place, arrange the personnel standing guard, and be on guard at all times." Moriki nodded, then found a stone and sat down.

Everyone else also took their own responsibilities and did things according to his arrangement. The sounds around him became thinner and thinner, and gradually they returned to their original state of silence. Everything is getting weird again.

Soon, the two soldiers who went to observe ran back, "Report to the captain, nothing has been found." ”

"Didn't you even see an animal?"

"No, Captain."

"Okay, go down and rest, and be vigilant!"

"Yes."

Because it was a temporary rest, there was no tent set up, so everyone sat down on a rock, waiting for the person who went to find the way back to report. The road in the mountains is not so easy to find, although the people who run the mountain will often wander around the mountain, but they basically do not come to the same place every time, maybe only once in several years, no one can guarantee that the last time they walked, this time they can still go up the mountain.

There will be mudslides in the mountains, roads washed away, and landslides will happen. Mount Sifang is a young, active volcano and diversions are a frequent occurrence.

After more than forty minutes, I saw two soldiers stumbling towards the crowd to find their way, their clothes in tatters, as if they had been attacked, but the guide was nowhere to be seen.

"What happened?" Moriki asked sternly when he saw their embarrassed appearance.

But before the two soldiers could answer, everyone quickly knew the answer.

Just a few dozen meters behind the two soldiers, a cloud of purple-red "smoke" filled the entire valley and rushed towards the direction of the crowd.

The two soldiers were not ready to answer the captain's question, and continued to run forward through the crowd. Those who stayed here to rest were also attracted by the "fog" behind them.

When the "smoke" drifted more than ten meters, a local mountain runner shouted: "Run." "Just run.

"What is this? Mr. Wang, why did he run? Sen Mu asked suspiciously.

"No, it won't, right? ......" Mr. Wang stammered to himself as if he hadn't heard his question, his legs trembling.

"Mr. Wang, what the hell is this? Why are you afraid of this? Senmu patted Mr. Wang on the shoulder and asked again.

Mr. Wang was slapped by Sen Mu like this, and suddenly sat down on the ground, his body tried his best to support his body in the opposite direction of the "fog" to escape from this place, but he couldn't use his strength, and his mouth trembled and said: "This, too, Taijun, hurry, run." This is a blood mosquito. ”

Blood mosquitoes are not mysterious creatures here, they often run the mountains, and they have seen almost all of them. The blood mosquito looks no different from ordinary mosquitoes, but it is slightly larger and has a blood-red body, hence its name.

No one who has been bitten by a blood mosquito has survived until now, but they have seen one or two of them before, and if they light a fire, the blood mosquito will flee from the fire. But like this battle now, even if they have been running the mountains for so many years, they have never seen or heard of it.

Blood mosquitoes, like lions and tigers, have their own territory, and they are only likely to see two in the same spot during the breeding season. The rest of the time it's all about solitude. There are also cases of blood mosquitoes grabbing territory, but in that case, only one will be alive. It's so unusual to be together like this today.

Mr. Wang was so frightened that his calves and stomach were spinning, and he didn't listen to the call at all. As soon as the other locals heard that Mr. Wang said it was a blood mosquito, they immediately ran. They have also seen blood mosquitoes, but they have not yet seen that this "fog mass" is blood mosquitoes. They know how powerful the blood mosquito is, so they run away as soon as they hear the name.

"What is a blood mosquito?" Isn't it just mosquitoes? Afraid of what? Moriki said disapprerovingly.

Those Japanese didn't know what a blood mosquito was, the captain didn't give an order, and they didn't dare to act rashly, but when they saw this situation, they also knew that something was wrong, and they all stood up and were ready to take action at any time.

"After the blood mosquito bites, the blood will coagulate and die in less than ten minutes, Taijun, run, otherwise it will be too late." Mr. Wang is still relatively loyal to the Japanese, and he is the only one of these mountain runners who is willing to do things for the Japanese.

Although Sen Mu didn't know much about what kind of blood mosquitoes, he saw the reactions of the two soldiers in front of him and the two local mountain runners, and he believed a little, so he immediately ordered: "You two carry Mr. Wang, and the others retreat!" ”

As they spoke, the "fog" was already less than twenty meters away from them. The loud "buzzing" sound told them that Mr. Wang and the runner who ran away first were not wrong, that is, mosquitoes. But the sound was much louder than expected, like the engine of a car, getting closer and closer.

The two soldiers who were ordered did not dare to slack off, and one of them grabbed one of Mr. Wang's arms and ran. The others also put their handy objects on their shoulders and ran in the direction of the three people in front of them.

Suddenly, a terrible scream came from behind them. As they ran, they looked back to see what was going on. I saw a soldier who seemed to be in a panic and took off the package, so he turned around and picked up the package, but he was instantly shrouded in a "fog".

I saw that the soldier fell to the ground at once, rolled around, and kept shouting, "Help." But he didn't make a sound without a few thrashes, and blood flowed from his mouth, and he turned red all over his body, the same color as the "mist."

Sen Mu and his subordinates finally knew what a "blood mosquito" was, and they were so frightened that their faces were bloodless, and they didn't need anyone to give orders at all, they all accelerated their pace, hoping to give birth to two more legs.
