Chapter Twenty-Three: The Dark Shadow

In this almost closed underground cavern, I suddenly saw a dark shadow, and my heart suddenly rose to my throat. Did we "sneak away" the corpse we picked up, or did the guy who stole our rope show up? The thought flashed through my mind, and I didn't have time to look down. Lu Dachuan and Hu Xiaoming shone their flashlights at the black shadow at the same time, apparently they also found out.

The black shadow stood motionless between the two stone piles, fifteen meters away from us at most, and three flashlights shone brightly, so that I could see what it was, but no matter how hard I tried, it was always a black shadow. Out of the corner of my eye, I scanned the ground in front of us, and both bodies were there. It's not a corpse, it's something?

Lu Dachuan and Hu Xiaoming looked at each other fixedly and did not speak.

I couldn't help but ask, "Can you see what it is?" ”

"I look like a person, but why is it so black that I can't even tell my face or my back?" Lu Dachuan drew his knife and walked towards the black shadow. Hu Xiaoming and I glanced at each other, and each took out his weapon and followed.

One-meter, two-meter, three-meter...... As we got closer, we saw that the shadow was the same as we had seen it from a distance: it looked like a human figure and was blurry.

I had never heard of such a strange thing in the world when I was so big, and the fear in my heart could not be described in words, and when I was still three meters away from the black shadow of the humanoid, the three of us stopped together. I only felt my throat dry, cold sweat kept pouring out, my whole body seemed to be flowing with countless streams, I raised my hand and touched my face, and my hand immediately seemed to be taken out of the water.

When our footsteps were gone, the cave was eerily quiet, the sound of sweat dropping from my hands was clearly audible, and my heartbeat beat beat like the drums of war before the charge, hitting my eardrums.

We silently watched the black shadow and did not dare to act rashly because we were afraid. Why did the black shadow stand still? Is it just to scare us?

The minutes ticked by, and we stood for a full five minutes, and the shadow was still the same, and it was not possible to stand any longer. I gently pulled the corner of Lu Dachuan's clothes: "What should I do?" ”

Lu Dachuan didn't answer me, but squeezed my hand. His strength is extraordinarily strong, and it unabashedly conveys how nervous he is inside.

"What do you mean? You speak! ”

He still didn't speak, and the strength in his hand increased by another layer; My hands hurt so hard that my bones shattered.

I couldn't figure out what Lu Dachuan meant, but his meaning to shut me up couldn't be more obvious. I resisted the curiosity in my heart, closed my mouth, and once again cast my eyes on the dark shadow in front of me.

At this time, I suddenly realized that the black shadow was taller and bigger than the original. What's going on? Am I dazzled, or is this shadow growing silently like a child?

Just when I was so depressed that I was going to die, Lu Dachuan turned around at a thunderous speed and threw out the scimitar in his hand as a flying knife. Then I heard a mouse-like scream, and the shadow disappeared without a trace. I turned around in shock, Lu Dachuan and Hu Xiaoming both rushed forward in both directions, and ran out in a blink of an eye.

Seeing them jumping up and running farther and farther like rabbits, I still had the heart to wonder what was going on, so I chased after them: "You wait for me ......"

The path left between the rocks was too narrow for running, and within a few steps I tripped over a rock and almost fell. Looking at Lu Dachuan and Hu Xiaoming again, I suddenly realized, no wonder they looked like rabbits, it turned out that they were not running step by step, but jumping, and the foothold was the most spacious place between the stone piles.

"Fuck, you're still playing like this!" I scolded fiercely, immediately trotted a few steps to speed myself up, and then followed their example to shuttle and jump between the stone piles, not to mention that it was really fast to run like this, and in a blink of an eye the distance between me and them was a lot closer, but I was always worried that the two legs would be too far apart, and I accidentally dropped the second child. I also know that this kind of thinking is absolutely unfounded, but I can't help but worry.

Fortunately, such a frightening thing has not had time to happen, their speed slowed down instantly, I just relaxed in my heart, and the two of them rushed to both sides at a very fast speed, and instantly the cave wall appeared in front of me, and there was a big-headed villain between me and the cave wall, "Fuck, what are you doing...... "I hurriedly braked, but found that my brake system failed, I closed my eyes, and I only blamed myself for worrying about the second child, and I didn't pay attention to running to the end of the cave, and now I am afraid that the boss will not be able to save it......

"Bang ......" There was a loud bang in my head, and I was knocked to the ground. The cave swayed in front of me, and I reached out twice to hold it, so I had to sit on the ground.

I was still spinning around, Lu Dachuan and Hu Xiaoming rushed to me from both sides, one of them grabbed me by one arm and dragged me back more than two feet, and said in their mouths: "What about people? Where did it go? Why is it gone? ”

I bit their hearts to death, and I closed my eyes and shouted, "You are blind, don't you hold it in your hands!" ”

"Who the said about you!" Lu Dachuan shook my arm, "I said that the villain we were chasing!" ”

"Huh?" I pulled my other arm out of Hu Xiaoming's hand, rubbed my eyes vigorously with both hands for a while, opened it to look at the cave wall and then look at my stomach, look at my stomach and look at the cave wall, turned over and got up and looked around, "He was still in front of me the moment I hit the wall just now, and he should have been knocked unconscious if he wasn't crushed......"

Lu Dachuan patted this and that on the cave wall: "It's a stone, why did it disappear under our noses?" ”

I have crashed into this, Lu Dachuan is still doubting that the cave wall is not real, I am angry: "It's not a stone, I can crash like this, I don't look on both sides and delay my work." ”

"Hu Xiaoming and I are on the left and right just to prevent him from escaping to both sides, you are reckless and affect our vision, so I'm embarrassed to say!"

"Wait, you don't remind me of what you do, I haven't complained about you, you have complained about me."

"Who said I didn't remind you, I squeezed your hand so hard and you didn't feel it!?"

"Holy shit! You pinch me, and I know what it means, do you think I'm a god or a god? ”

Lu Dachuan raised his hand and gestured in front of me and put it down: "Forget it, forget it, there is no tacit understanding at all, and I don't know like you kid." ”

"I don't care if I see it or not, I have to tell me what's going on, right?"

Lu Dachuan's tone softened and told me that he couldn't figure out what was going on, but when he walked towards the ghostly black shadow, he faintly felt something strange behind him, because Hu Xiaoming and I were behind him, he wasn't sure if the abnormal feeling came from us or something else, and after we all stood still, he concentrated on hearing faint footsteps slowly approaching us, and noticed that as the footsteps approached, the black shadow in front of him was also getting bigger at an extremely imperceptible speed, so he judged that the black shadow might be tricky, The real danger came from behind, so I stood still until I determined the specific location of the footsteps behind me, and then suddenly attacked. In the end, he said: "I calculated that I could get the right shot, but I didn't expect to run away for him." ”

After Lu Dachuan finished speaking, I thought about it carefully, and made sure that I didn't hear any voice other than the three of us, nor did I feel the strangeness behind what Lu Dachuan said, so I couldn't help but ask Hu Xiaoming, who was silent: "Do you also feel that something is wrong behind your back?" ”

Hu Xiaoming shook his head: "I'm a big river." ”

I couldn't believe it: "You didn't notice anything, and you reacted so quickly?" ”

"We are old partners, and this tacit understanding still exists."

Being in the same circumstances, facing the same unknown dangers, comparing what I did to them, I found myself naΓ―ve to the extreme.

The big-headed figure was gone, and there was no strange thing to be found on the cave wall, so we had to walk back to the place where the shadow had appeared. I looked at the ground all the way and found no blood. Lu Dachuan found his knife, and the blade was clean. We all think it's incredible, judging from the location where the knife fell, Lu Dachuan's knife definitely didn't miss, but with his strength and the sharpness and weight of the knife, the villain was not injured, which is really incomprehensible.

I had the audacity to check where the shadow was standing and disappearing, hoping to find some clue or find a hidden hole, but I still found nothing.

I stood up disheartened, didn't bother to say anything, and made a gesture to Lu Dachuan, who had been watching me. In fact, this is simply redundant, Lu Dachuan already knew the answer from my expression. I saw that his eyes were blood-red, and he looked like he was going to eat people, he was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly shook his arms at us like crazy, and shouted in his mouth: "Zheng Shuang, Lao Hu, pick up these stones for Lao Tzu, whether he is an alien or a monkey, dare to give Lao Tzu a moth, all pick it out for him!" ”

It was not so much that Lu Dachuan's sudden outburst of anger inspired my anger, but that I was controlled by him. His voice still echoed in the cavern, and I was desperately picking up the pile of rocks in front of me. Naturally, the two of them will only be faster than me, not slower than me.

At this time, we were already forced to collapse by too many incomprehensible things, and none of the three of them cared about their backs, but frantically picked up the stones on the pile of stones and threw them out, and for a while the sound of clattering stones filled the entire cave......

Compared with racking our brains and not being able to think of an answer, this kind of manual labor is much more enjoyable, and in a short time, we are already sweating profusely and panting, but no one has the intention of stopping, and after a stone pile is opened, we do not look at the corpses inside, and immediately tacitly pick up the next one......

Of course, we are not doing this simply to vent, it also includes don't provoke Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is not a bully to resist, including the persecution that you don't come out to pick up all the eight generations of your ancestors. Because the rope from which we entered the sinkhole was lost, the strange black shadows and the appearance of the big-headed villain all showed that someone was secretly watching us and wanted to kill us.

Thinking about it later, our approach was not only indiscriminate but also a little lacking in morality, but there was really no way at that time. Without further ado, we scooped up three stone piles in one fell swoop to reveal the corpses, and were about to pick up the fourth, when a bright light shone on my head and face, and my eyes tingled and I couldn't see anything.

Since the top of the head has long been out of power, and the spare battery is in Liu Peng's backpack, we have been using the wolf's eye flashlight for half a day. The first time I saw this kind of flashlight in the woods behind my house, Lu Dachuan told me that this kind of flashlight can blind people's eyes when they are close.

So when my eyes were illuminated by bright light and I couldn't see, I thought I was blind and immediately panicked and yelled: "My eyes are ...... Who of you is so fucking careless! After saying a word, the light in front of me was not so strong, I saw things vaguely again, after rubbing my eyes vigorously, I wiped a handful of tears, and my eyesight basically recovered, I immediately saw Lu Dachuan standing in front of me, his body shining in a circle, like a big bulb with electricity: "What light is so bright?" ”

Lu Dachuan didn't speak, but moved a step to the side. I saw that the luminous object was a rectangular mirror frame standing two meters high and less than one meter wide in the air, and I couldn't help but think of the purple light floating in the air that I saw in the hole in the woods...... "One purple light, one white light, what the hell is it?" "When I looked closer, I suddenly found that the box in mid-air turned out to be a door.
