Chapter 43: The Duel
I don't know how long it took, Dorjee broke the silence and pounced on the python like a black lightning; Seeing that Dorjee moved, I also pounced on the python with lightning speed. At the same time, the python also attacked, and its open blood basin mouth fell from the sky and rushed straight at Dorjee. Dorjee did not flinch or avoid, with the two impulses of himself and the python, he jumped into the mouth of the python, bit its tongue, and the speed did not decrease, leaning to the right, kicking on all fours, changing direction, and jumping out from the right back side of its mouth. The python was in pain, its mouth quickly closed, and its head fell to the right under the huge momentum of Dorjee.
At this time, I pounced on me, grasped the hilt of the knife with both hands, and like Dorjee, I leaped forward with the help of rapid momentum, and plunged the knife deep under the python's neck. The python's head that had just hit the ground swung to the left, and Dorjee and I were both thrown into the hole. The python writhed on the ground like crazy, and the stone wall with its tail smashing "snapped".
I lay on the ground for a while, crawled to Dorjee's side, and saw it lying on its side on the ground, with a half-bifurcated tongue in its mouth, and its stomach bulging and panting, thinking that it was just falling and couldn't get up temporarily, just rest, and when I saw a hole in the back of its body, I knew that it was pierced by snake teeth above its hind legs, and tears couldn't help but "boom" and flow out.
was crying, feeling a hand on his shoulder, and raised his head to see Zhang Xiaohu standing beside him.
"Didn't hurt you, did you?"
I shook my head, grabbed the hand Zhang Xiaohu handed me and stood up. We walked to the right side of the cave with our arms in our arms.
At some point, they had already gotten up, and at this time they were all gathered around the corpse of Daddy Boba and wept silently. I saw Daddy Boba's mouth open wide, and the tears that had stopped flowed back came out.
After crying for a while, Liu Changjiao, Lu Keqin, and Lin Xian'er helped Lu Dachuan and Liu Fashan to sit down against the mountain wall, check his injuries, and carry out simple treatment. Both of them were not lightly injured, but fortunately there were no broken ribs. Liu Peng and the others limped to pick up the things they had scattered around.
The unicorn python is not dead yet, it is still tossing on the side, but it is not a threat to us, just be careful to avoid it. We were afraid that there were other snakes in the cave and wanted to leave as soon as possible, but the back half of the dying python was too close to the exit, and for safety, we had to wait until it was dead before going out.
After packing up, we sat down around Lu Dachuan and Liu Fashan, ready to take a breath and discuss what to do next. Suddenly, a woman's shrill cry came from the left side of the cave......
Hearing the screams, Lu Dachuan struggled to turn off the flashlight they left for lighting, because he was seriously injured, his hand was halfway out, and Liu Changleg on the side had turned off the flashlight one step ahead of him. The lights went out, and the purple light on the two unicorn snakes in the cave became even more dazzling, but at this time we didn't have the heart to enjoy the scenery. Just now, I was caught off guard by the python that suddenly sprang out, and I forgot that there was a group of people behind me who entered the cave. Now besides us, there are other voices in the cave, apparently they have come in.
Lu Dachuan was injured, his mind was still clear, he knew the danger of the position we were in at the moment, his eyes quickly looked at the terrain in the cave, and thought about countermeasures in his heart.
At this moment, a dense burst of machine gun fire rang out at the entrance of the cave, and the tracer of bullets illuminated the roof of the cave. The big snake that was dying and struggling on the side rolled sharply, and twice the head of the snake was almost placed next to us. For a while, the sound of "crackling" in the cave was endless. Maybe it was because the python swung too violently, or maybe it was the blow of a large number of bullets, and the purple light on the big snake's body continued to fall off like dust, drift into the air, and spread all over the hole, just like what we had seen when we were shrouded in black smoke outside.
Seeing the purple in my eyes, I seemed to understand something in a trance, and I couldn't help but think about it. Just as I was thinking about it, someone hit me on the shoulder. I raised my head and saw Lu Keqin's phoenix eyes staring at me, and her feet stretched out to take my shoulder. I hadn't completely taken my mind out of my mind, and I didn't even react for a moment.
"Look, why don't you come over and help!" Lu Keqin gritted his teeth and said in a suppressed voice.
Only then did I see her supporting Lu Dachuan with both hands on the other side of her body, while the other people's backpacks were backpacking, helping people and cleaning up corpses. The sound of gunfire was still ringing in my ears. I quickly returned to reality, rolled over, picked up my backpack, and went around to the other side to support Lu Dachuan.
"Where are we going?" I asked in a whisper.
Lu Dachuan said: "Although the gang who came in didn't know who it was, the purpose should be the same as the gang in front, let's stay still is equivalent to death, so find a way to get out, or find a place to hide first." ”
"Oh." Zheng Shuang concentrated his eyes on what was in front of him.
At this time, the purple light had spread all over the hole, and it was possible to see far away even without the light. Soon we found that there was a small hole at the bottom of the large oval hole, which was more than one person high and more than three meters wide.
Liu Changjiao and Zhang Xiaohu walked to the entrance of the cave first, leaned over and looked inside, and then waited for us to come to us.
"It looks like that snake came out of this hole, I don't know if there's anything else in it." Liu looked at Lu Dachuan with long legs, but his tone was to ask for everyone's opinions, "Can you enter?" ”
Lu Dachuan took two steps forward, looked at his head, and came out and said, "It's really not safe!" Look for any smaller ones, even if there are snakes, they won't be too big. ”
Zhang Xiaohu shook his head and pointed to the top of the cave: "There is one there, and it is absolutely safe, but we can't go up!" ”
I looked in the direction of Zhang Xiaohu's finger and saw a small hole three feet square on the side of the cave dome, and purple light was pouring into it like flowing water.
Cai Zhengdong said: "It looks like it should be a vent. ”
"Huh!" Suddenly I remembered something, and I couldn't help but let out an exclamation, which caused everyone to look at me, and before anyone could ask me, "Do you remember the hole in the woods behind my house, the entrance and exit are exactly the same as this?" ”
After I reminded him, Lu Dachuan immediately remembered that the positions of the two cave entrances were indeed the same, both at the edge of the dome: "Well, it's the same." ”
The others didn't quite understand and looked at us both suspiciously.
"What do you say?" Liu Fashan couldn't help but ask.
Noticing that we only talked about ourselves and forgot about others, I immediately explained it to everyone.
"Entrance ......and exit," Liu Fashan pondered, "You think about the entrance to the cave where we entered, and the two entrances are also open in mid-air...... The door doesn't touch the ground, but it opens in mid-air, which is too unreasonable! ”
"Nothing abnormal, don't forget that they have Dunjia and can fly." Seeing this hole, I was even more sure that the square footprint that went to my house to steal was a big-headed villain, and my father's disappearance was even more mysterious.
Looking at the entrance of the cave several zhang above the ground, the surrounding cave walls are smooth, and there is indeed no way to go up as Zhang Xiaohu said.
We were not allowed to think of any other way, the gunfire at the entrance of the cave stopped, the one-horned python stopped tossing, and several strong lights appeared in the cave and shone towards this side.
Without waiting for anyone to greet them, everyone poured into the hole where the python came out. Looking at everyone's embarrassed appearance, I felt a bitterness in my heart, we had imagined all kinds of dangers that might occur before this departure, but we never thought that we would be chased ducks to the shelves again and again.
The cave is deep, twisting and curved, and the walls are uneven, making it obvious that it is a natural cave. Although there are potholes under the feet, they have become extremely smooth after long-term walking friction by the python, and it is not difficult to walk.
We didn't dare to stop for a moment for fear that the group would come in with us, and we didn't dare to go too fast for fear that there would be snakes in the cave. In short, we were afraid that there would be tigers in the mountains, so we had to go to the mountains, and we walked in fear.
Running into it for more than a mile in one go, the cave turned a big turn to the right, and then suddenly it dawned, and before we had time to see how big the space was, we were numb as if we had been struck by lightning, our legs were rooted, our mouths were wide open, and our eyes were wide open. And Lu Keqin and Lin Xian'er were so frightened that they almost cried. We were so afraid of what was coming, and there were not only snakes in the cave we entered, but more than one.
Coming back to his senses, Lu Dachuan raised his hand and gently swung it back. All of us held our breath and cautiously stepped back as mothers were afraid to wake up a newly-asleep baby.
Retreating to the curve, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads. I asked Lu Dachuan in a voice so low that I could barely hear it, "What should I do?" ”
Lu Dachuan gritted his teeth and said, "Go back, the people who came in are not those foreigners, maybe there is something to discuss." ”
Even if it is a compatriot, it is definitely not a good kind to be equipped with such powerful firepower, and the room for negotiation is afraid that it is a big deal, we understand this very well, otherwise we will not run, but the situation is critical, and there is really no other way, so we have to turn back and go to the big hole outside.
When I arrived at the entrance of the cave, I let go of Lu Dachuan and poked my head out, and saw that the unicorn python that had lived for I didn't know how many years had been attacked by one shuttle after another, and finally died, and its huge body no longer moved. There was a thick fishy smell in the air.
Next to the python stood several heavily armed men. I was wondering who they were, when I heard one of them say, "Miss Mieko, you're all right!" ”
"Mieko!?" I was shocked, and when I looked closely, the person who spoke was Chen San, only to see him put down the gun in his hand, bend down and pick up the woman with a beautiful face and short hair who was half sitting and half leaning on the corner of the wall not far from the snake's tail.
"Thank you, Hoshino-kun." Mieko struggled to her feet.
Chen San, no, it should be Hoshino, pulled up the sleeve of Mieko's right arm, saw that the front half of her arm was swollen, and the color was dark purple, and said, "You move your fingers." ”
Mieko gritted her teeth and shook her hand twice.
Seeing that he didn't hurt his bones, Hoshino shouted a word of Japanese at a man standing guard next to him, the man put down the backpack on his shoulder, took out a box of medicine and a bottle of water from it and handed it over, Hoshino then helped Mieko wipe it inside and out: "Luck...... Otherwise, I would regret bringing you. ”
Mieko was unhappy and muttered, "If you don't take me, won't my years of hard work be in vain!" ”
"Maybe you shouldn't be ...... at all I did the ...... alone."
Hoshino's words aroused Mieko's fighting spirit, and she lowered her sleeves and picked up the gun that had fallen to the side: "If I can fulfill my grandfather's unfulfilled wish, it is worth the hardship." ”
It was enough to surprise us to see Chen San Japanese, and it was even more confusing to hear their conversation. First there was a group of big-nosed foreigners, and now there is a group of little Japan, and the situation is more chaotic than all of us imagined.
"What the is going on?" I can't afford to think about it.
Hoshino had already stood up and picked up his gun, and shouted a word in Japanese into the hole. Two people next to Dorjee's body responded.
"Let's go, let's take a look." Hoshino said as he walked to the right of the cave. Mieko and the vigilant man followed behind them.
Walking up, the two men pointed to Dorjee's body lying on the ground and muttered. Hoshino crouched down and picked up Dorjee's mouth with his gun to look at it, looked up and glanced around the cave, then stood up and walked towards the entrance of the cave where we were hiding......
