Volume 4 The Battle of the Three Emperors_Chapter 19 The Appearance of the Monitor Lizard
This Dead Mist Forest is now full of fog, and Second Master Li's entourage was dragged away from under our noses by something, and we have nothing to do, what else can we do now?
After a few minutes, the voice of the attendant could still be heard, coming from a certain direction, shouting heartbreakingly for us to save him, and after shouting a few times, suddenly there was a scream, and then the entire Death Mist Forest fell into a dead silence.
We all know that most of the entourage who was dragged away has already been poisoned!
After the surroundings fell into a dead silence, the cold man spoke: "You wait where you are first, and I'll take a look." ”
After giving us an explanation, and without waiting for us to say anything, he fell into a thick fog and went to look for the attendant who had been dragged away, leaving us still standing in place.
Jin Dianlong and I were secretly anxious, the business just came to an abrupt end, which means that the entourage has been killed, if the cold man goes over to save him so rashly, maybe he will encounter some danger!
A few of us stood in place waiting for the cold man, and each of us tensed up in a straight line: I don't know what it is, let alone how many there are, if we just stand like this, we will simply sit and wait to die!
After some discussion, we asked one of the attendants to take out the rope that had been prepared, and then everyone grabbed the rope and straightened the rope back and forth, so that if there was any danger, there would be a buffer time for the others to save people.
When I was waiting for the cold man to come back, Jin Dianlong and I had a conversation with the other two entourages, and we knew that the tall and thin man was called Deng Pan, who had followed Li Erye for the longest time and was Li Erye's right-hand man; The other one who was a little shorter, looking extremely shrewd, was called Fan Jiyuan, and the one who was dragged away they all called him San'er, and the two of them said that they had forgotten what his real name was, so they kept calling him San'er San'er.
Deng Pan and Fan Jiyuan didn't talk much, but when they spoke, they were all in one sentence, and they were calm, at first glance, they were old rivers and lakes who had followed Li Erye for many years, and Deng Pan and Fan Jiyuan had already followed Li Erye to a party, so Li Erye took the three of them, which was much more effective than bringing thirty people.
It's just that both of them said that the last time they encountered it was not the Death Mist Forest at all, so they didn't have much experience to talk about, so they could only take one step at a time.
After they said this, the hearts of several of us were much heavier.
When a few of us talked in a low voice, our spirits were tense, dragging the rope in one hand and holding our respective weapons in the other, at least we could save ourselves when we were attacked, and we wouldn't be as helpless as San'er who was dragged away just now!
The cold man didn't make us wait too long, he quickly passed through the thick fog, Deng Pan and Fan Jiyuan surrounded the cold man as soon as they saw it, and the cold man shook his head, "I can't find it anymore." ”
Because the fog was too thick, I couldn't see the expressions on Deng Pan and Fan Jiyuan's faces, but I felt that their faces suddenly darkened after listening to the cold man's words, but they also whispered to the cold man to thank him, thanking him for taking such a big risk to go out to find their companions.
After I listened, I had a little more affection for these two people, both of them were calm and capable, and they didn't think that it was natural for the cold man to help them find a companion, so I felt that the next road was not so difficult.
We can't find San'er, and we can't stay in this Dead Fog Forest all the time, because staying for a moment longer will be more dangerous, so after some discussion, we decided to move forward.
When we walked forward again, the cold man reminded us to pay attention to our feet, saying that San'er was most likely dragged away by some kind of large reptilian, we were in a high place, this kind of thing was in a low place, and if we didn't pay attention, it was easy to have an accident.
As soon as he said this, the spirits of several of us immediately tensed, and we were all very careful when we walked and landed, for fear that we would be dragged away by something as soon as we landed.
When the cold man said that the thing that dragged San'er away might be some kind of large reptile, I suddenly thought of the Komodo dragon in the hotel where we were staying before. If something is big enough to drag an adult away and crawl fast enough on the ground, this monitor lizard is the best choice!
However, Second Master Li said that the tests on this road were all arranged by the second ancestor, if it was really the monitor lizard who dragged San'er away, wouldn't the monitor lizard have something to do with the second ancestor, and what was the relationship between the hotel and the second ancestor?
This sudden thought suddenly startled me!
When he came back to his senses, Jin Dianlong also muttered, ", why do you think that this thing that Senior Brother said is very similar to the thing we saw in the hotel?" Fengzi, do you think they will come here? ”
My heart trembled, which shows that I am not the only one who feels this way!
Just as he was about to answer Jin Dianlong's words, he felt that the rope that several of us were holding on to shook violently, and then Deng Pan let out a low shout, "Something is biting my pants, pull me quickly!" ”
As soon as he said this, several of us were taken aback, the cold man's body flashed, and he had flashed towards his nearest place, and the three of us immediately grabbed Deng Pan, and the thing did not let go of the meaning at first, the three of us took a lot of effort, plus Deng Pan immediately picked up the long knife of self-defense and stabbed it somewhere under his feet, and then he heard a "tearing" sound, and the force of dragging Deng Pan suddenly loosened, and Deng Pan was finally dragged over by us!
As soon as Deng Pan was dragged over, he felt a gust of wind suddenly hit the ground, and then there was the sound of something squirming and running away, and then the cold man flashed back again, his face was extremely solemn.
"Senior brother, do you see what that thing looks like?" After seeing the cold man, Jin Dianlong immediately asked.
"It's a monitor lizard." The cold man's tone was also very heavy, "It's the kind we saw in the hotel." ”
It's really a Komodo dragon!
After the cold man said this, a huge wave was set off in my heart, and the inferences just now flashed in my mind, one moment it was a monitor lizard, one moment it was the landlord, and one moment it was those who were hunched over, in the dark, I always felt that there was something related to the three of them, but now if the Komodo dragon appeared in this Death Fog Forest, then the matter would probably be even more complicated.
Most likely, they all have some connection with the Second Ancestor......
Thinking of the strange and strange appearance of those hunched people, as well as their bowing to me, I didn't dare to think about it anymore, and quickly changed the topic, "Let's still move forward according to the method just now, if you feel wrong, hurry up and save yourself, everyone take their weapons......"
Jin Dianlong looked at me silently, and then led the way forward again.
I looked around and saw that the fog in the forest had turned black at some point, flowing like ink all around us, and we could hardly see anything now, and we were walking forward by feeling.
Jin Dianlong muttered, and wanted to ask Deng Pan if he had a flashlight, saying that it would work to see if the lighting tube worked, so I immediately said: "No, the fog is too big now, and the light of the flashlight can't penetrate the dense fog at all, but it can reveal our whereabouts, so that we can become targets, it's better not to use the flashlight." ”
Jin Dianlong suddenly realized, scolded in a low voice and was almost fooled, and then groped his way forward.
In the next period of time, not only was our vision greatly obstructed, but the surroundings were also completely silent, there was no sound, and the footsteps of several of us not only could not give us the slightest comfort, but sounded a terrifying feeling!
The five of us walked slowly forward, the silence around us felt dull and oppressive, but all of us were nervous, and no one had the heart to speak.
After walking for about half an hour, looking at the dark distance in front of him, Jin Dianlong said that why is this forest so big, it seems that he can't get out of the way, Deng Pan then let out a low voice, "We haven't gone forward at all, we have been going around in circles here...... If you touch it, there's a pit in this place, and the dirt around it is still broken, which I left from when I was struggling. ”
As soon as he said this, we suddenly woke up, no wonder we always felt that the road conditions under our feet had not changed in the slightest after walking for most of the day, and it turned out that we were actually going in circles.
The first thing that came to my mind was a ghost hitting the wall, Jin Dianlong quickly denied it, and I was just about to ask him why he wasn't a ghost hitting the wall, Fan Jiyuan pointed to a nearby place and said in a low voice, "There is a figure not far away, just flashed past." ”
Jin Dianlong and I suddenly stopped talking, and looked up in the direction Fan Jiyuan pointed.
But we looked at it intently for a moment, the place he pointed to was still a thick fog, and there was no figure at all, Jin Dianlong turned his head and asked Fan Jiyuan, "Such a dark fog, how can you see a figure in that place?" Are you dazzled? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, I saw something flash from not far away, and immediately pointed to the distance and said, "He is not mistaken, there is really something!" ”
A few of us fell silent in an instant, and even held our breath at the same time, only to hear the heartbeat and look at the distance together.
In this Dead Fog Forest, is there anything other than monitor lizards?
"You say, could it be the second master?" After Fan Jiyuan looked at it for a while, he suddenly thought of such a question, "The second master walked a long way and found that we were lost, so he came back to look for us, do you think it is possible?" ”
As soon as he asked if it was possible, Deng Pan shouted not far away, "Second master, isn't it you?" ”
