Chapter 66: The Running Stone Man

At the bottom of the cave, several wolf-eye flashlights were intertwined in the bright light, one after the other, two stone men were running through the cave hall and towards the stone steps on the cave wall. They are all black, with an angular body of nearly two meters, between the two shoulders that are square on one side and round on the other, the bucket-thick head is like an inverted stone mortar, and the arms and legs that are roughly forked around the body seem to be driven by the motor, swinging back and forth mechanically and quickly, the amplitude of the steps is not frequent but extremely fast, and the sound of "click" is the sound of their running footsteps. Behind them were a cloud of black smoke, like cars rolling across a dirt-buoy road.

Looking at the bottom of the cave, my heart jumped out of my throat, stretched my neck and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva to press back and said, "Brother Dachuan, what are you doing on a dog day?" ”

"I don't know! Yang Hongqi didn't mention that there was such an evil thing in the cave. Lu Dachuan's eyes bulged outward, and his eyes were as big as cow eggs.

Watch them step up the stairs and walk up. Liu Fashan trembled and said, "Big ...... Big...... Okawa, run! ”

I opened my eyes wide to look carefully, but Liu Fashan pushed me before retracting his gaze and running upwards with his feet raised. The width of the steps is limited, and Lu Dachuan, who is at the head, is like a locomotive, as soon as he runs, the people behind him hula and follow him. Lu Keqin and Lin Xian'er moved forward, but their legs failed to take a step, and they both fell to the ground. I followed behind with an "oops" and braked suddenly, almost stepping on their bodies.

The two women had cold hands and feet, and they fell to the ground in fright and forgot to scream.

"Stop! Stop! "I couldn't help two people by myself, so I was so anxious that I shouted.

Lu Dachuan and Liu Changjiao looked back and saw the two women who fell to the ground, knowing that they were too frightened to walk the aisle, they each took off their backpacks, and when they returned, they picked up one on their backs and ran upward. I was carrying a bag on my back, and I took Lu Keqin's bag with a notebook held by Lu Dachuan, and I couldn't do anything to take the long-legged backpack again. Liu Fashan, who was behind, saw Lu Dachuan put the bag containing Boba's father on the edge of the steps and ran away with Lu Keqin on his back, twisted his shoulders and stood on the stone wall by the stone wall with Hu Xiaoming's sleeping bag, picked up Liu's long-legged backpack with one hand, and pushed me up with the other.

Seven people with five pairs of feet, plus the two people behind them ran into the cave as if they came to life for a while, and we were scared when we heard our own heavy gasps.

One bend, two bends, three bends...... We ran slower and slower, and as we saw that we were exhausted, the roof of the cave outside the well appeared clearly, and suddenly the joy of victory burned on our buttocks like a fire, and suddenly we felt as light as a swallow and flew into the sky. At this time, Lu Dachuan was another stumbling ......

In order to prevent a series of collisions, Lu Dachuan hurriedly shouted: "No ...... Root...... Tree! ”

Liu Changshan, me, Liu Fashan, and Ma Qiang immediately stopped their feet, "hehe" panting. After this period of rest, Lin Xian'er and Lu Keqin recovered a lot, slipped out to the ground, and watched us panting one by one, tears flowed down their eyes.

Lu Dachuan gasped, waved his hand and said, "Fuck, forget about this stubble." ”

Even though the "click" sound was still dense, we still retreated about ten meters. Lu Dachuan pushed the night vision goggles to his head and said: "We have been in close contact with them twice, it is impossible for them not to feel it, but what is the reason why the momentum of climbing up does not take us seriously at all?" Is there really a bigger temptation up there, or are the two guys in the back their nemesis? ”

I said, "Don't bother with that, it's not a good thing anyway!" Now that there are wolves in front and tigers in the back, let's hurry up and discuss a countermeasure. ”

Lu Dachuan looked up and down: "What other countermeasures can there be, the only way in this situation can only be to fight hard." So figure out which situation is the most important thing for us to live and die, because if they are attracted by something above, they may turn around and pounce back, and then we will be attacked by the enemy, and it will be completely finished; If the two guys in the back were their nemesis, and now they were running for their lives, and in the worst case, let's go back and fight those two monsters, I guess there are still some chances of winning. ”

"You mean that now you're chasing me to the top of the cave, maybe in the blink of an eye, they might turn around and run to the bottom of the cave......"

Lu Dachuan nodded.

I touched the sweat on my head, "Mom! It's also horrible. ”

After Liu Changjiao retreated, he kept climbing on the steps to observe the situation below, and then turned his face and said, "The situation may not be so bad." You come and see, the next two things are getting slower and slower, and I look like I'm exhausted. ”

"What?"

I can't believe my ears, the strange weirdness of the stone man when he appeared, the overwhelming momentum, the thrilling posture and the invincible power, still make people shudder, how can they be as exhausted as a human?

"Where?" Lu Dachuan and I climbed on the side of our long legs, leaning out as much as we could, looking down at the stone steps below.

Liu Chang's legs shook the flashlight and pointed out the position for the two of us. We saw that the speed of the two stone figures was indeed much slower, and they still looked struggling to raise their arms and feet.

"Fuck! I thought I had encountered a supernatural monster, but it turned out that I was scaring myself. "When I saw the stone man, I felt like a big stone had fallen to the ground, and I turned over and lay on the steps to relax my tired body.

Lu Dachuan's heart was also a lot lighter, but he didn't dare to relax completely like me, the danger behind him was gone for the time being, and the one in front was still there. He sat up, looked at me lying down, and said, "Don't be lazy, you kid, do you understand what happened to the rootless tree running away en masse?" ”

I said weakly, "My head is buzzing, and I'm so tired that I'm almost vomiting blood......

"I didn't vomit blood on my back, so how much did you take!?"

I smiled wryly and didn't speak again.

Lu Dachuan himself is tired enough, how can he not know that everyone is really tired. In order to restore everyone's physical strength as soon as possible, he took out high-calorie, high-protein foods such as chocolate and beef jerky for everyone to eat.

I forcibly ate something and rested for a while, and everyone's strength recovered. Liu Fashan saw that several young people were still full of tiredness just now, and after a while, they were already full of vitality, beat their soreness and sleepy waist, and said: It seems that I am really old!

At this time, silence returned to the cave, and the strange "click" sound stopped at some point. Noticing this, I leaned down the steps and saw that the two stone figures were missing.

"Those two monsters are gone." I turned back to Lu Dachuan and said.

They climbed down to look at it, and they were nowhere to be seen.

Liu Fashan said: "Could they have come into the blind spot of our sight?" ”

Lu Dachuan looked at the overlapping steps like a staircase and said, "It's possible." ”

I said, "Look at the ground down there, how do I feel that the hole is shallower than before?" ”

"How can the ground be raised if it's not water!? It is estimated that the power of the flashlight is insufficient. Longleg shook his flashlight as he spoke.

"It's important to ignore the bottom for now, or hurry up." Lu Dachuan said and put on night vision goggles, raised his head and shouted for us to run down!

I was dizzy and cried out, "Is it up or down?" ”

Lu Dachuan gave me the night vision goggles: "Look at it yourself!" ”

I put on my night vision goggles and looked at the roof of the cave, almost peeing into my pants, when the rootless trees that went up poured down like a tide, and the front one was already a few meters in front of us.

I'm really afraid of something! I can't get enough of it. We desperately climbed up, and ran to the bottom of the cave with no lives.

When we ran up, we only felt tired, but now that we turned around and ran down, we realized that the steps were so steep that we couldn't control our bodies when we ran fast.

Liu Fashan shouted: "Dachuan, quickly find a way, so that you don't have to catch up with the demon tree if you run like this, we will fall to our death." ”

"Distance everyone from each other a little bit and try to run against the wall." Lu Dachuan has to worry about his back and his feet, it's good that he doesn't get dizzy, how can he concentrate on thinking. Besides, what can be done, as long as no one falls, it's a blessing.

I was afraid that Lu Keqin would stumble and fall into the bottom of the cave, so I took her hand to protect her on the outside. Lin Xian'er, who was following the two of us, couldn't help but feel a little envious, and she almost stepped on the air with one foot in her mind, and she didn't dare to think about anything else after stabilizing her body.

To say that the worst is Liu Changshan, others are lazy and there is a person in front of him who blocks the view, he ran to the back of the team in order to see the situation of the two stone people clearly, this turned around and ran down to become the head, the flashlight shined out of an empty space, and it felt like jumping off the building to commit suicide, if he hadn't tried to control it, he would have yelled.

After running for a while, I felt the ground under my feet shake slightly, and when I looked back, I found that the rootless trees were no longer slowly squirming forward one by one, but were intertwined with each other and rolling downward, and I suddenly realized that it was a fatal mistake to run desperately: although the rootless tree has extraordinary abilities, it is a plant after all, and it does not think like an animal. To avoid them, you just need to get into your sleeping bag and lie down against the wall, and the amount of heat emitted by running vigorously gives them even more stimulation. In the stone chamber on the lonely mountain, they were kept out with a few rags, which proved it.

It's a pity that it's too late to figure out anything at this time. The moment my mind turned, the rolling rootless tree almost stuck to Lu Dachuan's ass at the back, and it was impossible to stop. He screamed and rushed down regardless of it. The people in front heard Lu Dachuan's shout, knew that the situation was critical, and ran for their lives.

The speed was increased to the extreme, and although it was thrilling, we had to admit that it was much faster and less strenuous to run down than to climb up. No, it's less than half the time we've run to where the stone man was first found. Liu Changjiao saw the backpack containing the corpse of Daddy Boba on the steps and the sleeping bag wrapped in Hu Xiaoming's corpse standing against the stone wall from a distance, and wanted to alert the people behind him to pay attention, so he opened his mouth and let out a scream, but he couldn't even avoid it, and he tripped and fell out. Behind us, one by one, we fell. The inertia is too great, and the two legs can't be braked if they are clamped!

Even the flying belt rolled out for several meters, and we only came to a stop one by one. The person in front of him fell not lightly, and then used others as brakes and pads, and almost all of them were in a coma. I was in pain and my mind was still clear, and as soon as I stopped, I struggled to turn my head to look behind me, and where we had fallen, countless rootless trees were rushing towards them.

"Run! Get up and run! "I tried my last strength to stand up and pull Lu Keqin, to pull Lin Xian'er, to pull Liu Fashan, to pull Liu Chang's legs, but none of them pulled up, and I fell down again.

I knew that there was nothing I could do, so I looked back, closed my eyes, and thought that I had experienced so many dangers in the past and was safe, and this time I actually lost to a plant, and I had to make fertilizer for others, and the corners of my mouth were crooked and wanted to laugh but I didn't laugh.

After repeated tosses, my physical strength has already been seriously overdrawn, and the desire to live disappeared, although a ** past is fleeting, fleeting, and fleeting in my mind, but I am already in a semi-comatose state. When the joyful scene when I got the handwriting of the scientific expedition appeared, I struggled for a moment when I thought that I hadn't seen it, but after being replaced by another scene, I gave up completely......

Just when I was completely unconscious, a voice appeared, which at first sounded vague and vague like in a dream, but gradually became clearer and clearer, and finally he heard someone shouting, "Come and save me!" Lu Dachuan, Liu Peng, Liu Fashan, come and save me! You're all dead! He opened his eyes and sat up.

"Ma Qiang, is that you? Where are you? ”

"It's me, I'm here, save me! Can't hold on! ”

I climbed forward following the sound, and saw Ma Qiang's body hanging in the air, only a few arms holding the edge of the stone steps, I don't know where a force came from, threw the flashlight, grabbed his two hands, turned his body and dragged it up.

Ma forced a "hehe" on me, laughed twice, and said, "I thought you were all dead!" And he fainted.

"I'm not dead yet! I'm still alive......"

I thought about it repeatedly in my head, lay on the ground for a while, pushed away Ma Qiang who was pressing on my body, found the night vision goggles that had fallen, and couldn't help but laugh when I saw those rootless trees on my face.
