Batur was stunned, and it was Qi Dongrui's voice coming from behind. Hearing this voice, he was excited, but the light of the flashlight was too strong, and he couldn't see the face behind him clearly for a while, but the sand an suddenly screamed when he saw the light, and his voice was terrible, and Batur raised his hand and fired a few shots at it, scolding: "Damn! Let you scream! ”

"That's it!" The hand on his shoulder suddenly squeezed hard, and he dragged his whole body back, and before he could react, Batur felt the sand all over his face, and he was dragged out of the small hole in a few moments.

Taking a breath, he immediately looked up and asked, "Where is this?" ”

"Underground." Qi Dongrui replied absentmindedly.

Batur turned his head to look at him, and saw that this guy was still holding a flashlight to shine into the hole that he had just come out of, and the hole was closing at a slow pace, and the screaming of the monster inside was cracking. But Qi Dongrui's eyes were full of murderous intent, and when he saw that the entrance of the cave was getting smaller and smaller, he felt unwilling, and picked up his gun and shot into the cave again.

With a wry smile on his lips, Batur snatched the flashlight and said, "Okay! Don't waste bullets. ”

Qi Dongrui grinned, but didn't reply, and didn't stop until the hole was completely closed.

Taking a flashlight and shining around, Batur found that it was a shallow hole with an area of about forty square meters, and there was a small triangular gap directly above the top of the cave, and the cold light from the outside shot down, forming a shallow pillar of light in the dark hole.

Seeing the exit, Batur's heart was in ecstasy, and not only that, there was a circular pool in the cave, although the pool was not large, but it was surrounded by sand plants, in addition to reeds, camel thorns, rob hemp, etc., there were some that he could not name.

Walking to the edge of the pool, Batur found a dried corpse of a man lying in the midst of these drought-resistant plants, lying face down on the ground, head facing the edge of the pool, and a hand reached into the water, looking like he had died of thirst.

The flashlight swept back and forth over the corpse a few times, and Batur realized that something was wrong, and saw that the hand that had reached into the pool seemed to have been broken from the wrist, and was floating upward at an incongruous angle.

The fox hesitated for a while, he squatted down and lifted the hand out of the water with the tip of the gun, only to find that the man's hand was empty and light, and only a thin layer of skin remained in the whole palm.

"There's something in this pool." Qi Dongrui walked up from behind and said.

Batur's brows furrowed, and he stared at the hand for a long time before slowly putting it back into the water, then glanced back and asked, "What do you say?" ”

"Just look at this corpse." Qi Dongrui also squatted down next to the corpse.

Batur turned his head to look at him suspiciously, and saw that the boy's eyes were shining, and there was an inexplicable smile in his eyes, and his relaxed appearance was in stark contrast to his own nervousness.

As soon as he saw him with such an expression, Batur knew that there must be something on this corpse. He immediately stood up, and smashed the dried corpse with his feet and gun, and the corpse was unusually light, and as soon as he turned over, a putrid smell came to the pavement.

Batur covered his nose and couldn't help but take a step back, looked down, and found that the corpse was only half of it, lying face down on the ground before and not noticing, now it seems that it is an empty shell with only skin and bones left, and the face, brain, and internal organs of the corpse are all gone, and even the flesh on the thighs has been hollowed out.

This wasn't the work of the monster in Sha'an, but it was even more miserable.

Batur frowned, looked away and couldn't bear to look at it anymore, Qi Dongrui next to him chuckled and said, "Could it be that he was gnawed by something?" ”

Batur shook his head and said nothing, he moved the flashlight around the cave again, the cave was very calm, nothing unusual, especially the waterhole under the gap was particularly beautiful. It should be a lucky thing to encounter such an underground water source in the desert, but at this time, Batur was completely less excited than before, and the whole cave was instantly enveloped in a strange atmosphere.

Qi Dongrui saw that he was looking around vigilantly, so he stretched out his hand and pointed to the other side of the waterhole and said, "There are still a lot of small animal corpses over there, almost all of them are dead in this way, and the corpses are all empty shells. ”

"How long have you been here?" Batur asked him.

"Not long, just an hour before you got here."

"And where were you before?"

"Just like you, but not as unlucky as you." Qi Dongrui said, "I was also locked in that kind of small cave before, the cave was very deep, but in the end it shrank to a height of only one meter, I was almost stuck in it, and it was difficult to even breathe. I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect to be spit out of that hole in the end, and by the time I came back to my senses, I was already staying by this pool. ”

He paused, then continued: "For the next hour, I noticed that holes in the walls around me were constantly opening and healing, and from time to time some small animals would run out of them. Only then did I realize that those living holes seemed to be moving towards here, and they kept sending their prey here, and although I don't know what the final boss is, there must be a guy here waiting to forage for food, and we are the food. ”

Qi Dongrui glanced up at Batur, and when he saw that he was silent, he said again: "Well, this is completely my guess." ”

"No, you have a point." Batur gasped and said, "Listening to you say that, it seems to be true. If there's anything here, it's generally hidden underwater. ”

After saying that, he looked up at the gap above and said, "We can't stay here for long, we must find a way to get out." ”

"How do you get out? Jump on it? Qi Dongrui smiled contemptuously, "Lao Ba, I have thought of various methods before, and there is nothing I can do at all." The point is that we don't have any ropes on us, and the exit is directly above the cave, so there is nothing we can climb up to. ”

When Batur heard this, it was true. Although this hole is a shallow hole, it is twelve or thirteen meters high from the bottom of the hole to the gap above, and it cannot go up at all without a rope, and there is a pool below the gap, I don't know how deep the pool can be, and generally this kind of pool is full of silt underneath, and it will be very troublesome if you accidentally fall into it.

For a while, they only felt that the atmosphere was stiff, and the hidden crisis in the cave made both of them very uneasy. Qi Dongrui's face also became a little ugly, and the contemptuous smile on his face disappeared before, and he only heard him say: "I have already sent two signal flares to the outside of the cave just now, one every twenty minutes. Next, we have to wait, if we are lucky, we may meet the lonely ghosts of Lop Nur to save us, but it is estimated that we will not go out for a long time, and Xiao Qike will hang up. ”

Qi Dongrui said very calmly, without any waves on his face. Batur nodded at him, sat down cross-legged on the ground, and said, "Keep going, if I'm not mistaken, there should be gold diggers in this generation area, although I have never had a relationship with them, but if I see a distress signal, they should come." The next step is to try your luck. ”

Speaking of this, Batur breathed a long sigh of relief, turned his head to look at Xiao's big lips and said, "It's over." ”

"Finished?" Xiao frowned, "Why is it over, then how did you get out in the end?" What's in that hole? ”

"Later, we were lucky, and after waiting for less than two hours, Lao Du and the others came, and they dug a big hole in the gap in the ground and pulled us up with ropes." "We don't know what's in the hole, it's safe for two hours, nothing happens." ”

Wei Xiao interjected when he heard this: "Actually, Lao Du and I and a few other people first discovered your car, and when we saw you lying on the car and dying, we decided to drive the car back, but who knew that we saw the signal flare halfway through, and a few people got out of the car to find the two people in the hole." And this hole is more than 500 meters away from where you first parked. ”

"Holy! Such an evil door! Xiao Dayao's eyes couldn't help but light up after hearing this, and he hurriedly said, "Then what's going on with that hole, you didn't go to see it again after that?!" ”

"I went, Lao Du and I went the next day, but we didn't find it, and the big hole on the ground that we chiseled is gone, and it is estimated that it has moved again." Wei Xiao said.
