Volume 2 Eyes of the Deep Chapter 44 Countless "Tentacles"
Zhou Cheng came up and kicked the fire away, and the flying sparks scattered all over the ground. He picked up one of the charred charcoals, crushed it with his foot, reached out and grabbed a handful and began to smear it on his body and face, "Quick! If you put soot on your body like this, you should be able to dodge the attacks of those things. ”
Everyone followed his example and plastered charcoal on their bodies. Soon all seven of us became indigenous Africans from Equatorial Guinea. Looking at everyone's dark faces, especially the usually serious An Ye, if it weren't for the current situation, otherwise I would really laugh out loud.
After plastering the soot, each of us picked up a burnt wooden stick as a weapon, just in case. The second uncle looked at the few people present and whispered, "One by one, this virtue is smeared, and each person is holding a burning stick in his hand, if this is encountered by other peers, there will be no need to mix it up in the future, it's too embarrassing!" I snorted and couldn't hold back my laughter, almost suffocating my internal injuries.
By this time it was already dawning, and although the sky was gray, the fog was gone, and the visibility around us was good, so we began to prepare for a breakthrough.
In the direction of our breakthrough, several people had some small differences, and Lantern Xiao and Zhou Cheng felt that they should retreat to the seaside, and then find other ways to go deeper into the island. And An Ye and Second Uncle felt that they should continue to go deeper into the depths of the island, because this island is much bigger than we imagined, and the situation is more complicated than we imagined, and there may be other dangers if we choose another route, since we have found a way to restrain ourselves from the current crisis, why don't we take advantage of the victory to pursue it.
Actually, to be honest, I think what An Ye and Second Uncle said is reasonable, and it is indeed the best way to continue to go deeper at present, unless we plan to withdraw from the island and end this operation, of course this is impossible.
Fortunately, Lantern Xiao was not stubborn, and after a little persuasion, he accepted our idea, "Uncle An and Second Uncle are both old-timers and have rich experience, and Wenmo and Zhuo Ran both have such an idea, so I obey unconditionally." "Lantern Festival has such an advantage, he can take many things very lightly, and never drill the horns.
We agreed on an agreement, and began to break through to the depths of the island, and when we came to the tentacles, my heart was still unusually nervous, if we were wrong about the coals of the ashes to restrain these tentacles, then we would soon be dead without a place to bury, no, more precisely, just go straight to the ground.
Seeing those dancing "tentacles" getting closer and closer, my heart had already risen to my throat, and my breathing began to become short, Wenmo said softly: "Everyone hold your breath!" ”
I hurriedly held my breath and cautiously followed everyone forward, the closer I got to the encirclement of those "tentacles", I involuntarily began to shrink back, although I struggled in my heart that it was unrighteous to shrink back like this, but my legs didn't seem to obey.
Before I knew it, I had reached the back of the two old men, An Ye and Second Uncle, and even I blushed and found that I had become the tail of the team.
I looked up at the front, and there was no doubt that it was Wenmo who took the lead, and it was Zhou Cheng who was almost walking side by side with Wenmo.
Zhou Cheng, who told me about the Lantern Festival, practiced sanda and shooting in the sports school at the earliest, and later joined the army and became a border soldier, and it was in Yunnan. There are often drug dealers sneaking across the border, how many times Zhou Cheng has exchanged fire with those outlaw drug dealers, in the words of Lantern Festival, Zhou Cheng is a person who has really seen death and blood.
Later, after being discharged from the army, Zhou Cheng was worried that the drug dealers he had fought would retaliate against him, in order not to tire his family, he did not get married and start a family, but wandered alone in other places, and later became Tang Zhendong's assistant and bodyguard several times, with outstanding skills and courage, and won Tang Zhendong's trust.
It is this kind of experience that allows Zhou Cheng to resolutely walk in front of this life-and-death situation, and to my surprise, Zhou Cheng followed closely behind Shi Lantern Festival. I don't know why, this Lantern Festival gives me the feeling that it has changed a lot, especially in terms of ability and courage, even compared with the last incident in Qilian Mountain, it is not the same. I suddenly had an idea that maybe this was the real Lantern Festival.
I suddenly felt very cowardly, and I cursed in my heart: Damn! Lao Tzu is also a descendant of the Faqiu family, and he can't embarrass his ancestors! Thinking of this, I quickly followed the Lantern Festival.
Lantern Xiao turned her head to look at me, smiled, then pointed to her mouth and nose, and shook her head. I understood what he meant, to make me remember to hold my breath.
I nodded at him and made an OK gesture.
We came to the black tentacles, and we were already in their range, but as we wished, the tentacles were just dancing in the air, and had no inclination to attack.
Wenmo walked towards those "tentacles" first, and as Wenmo approached, those side-by-side "tentacles" seemed to be separated by a pair of invisible hands, and Wenmo walked out calmly. Next is Zhou Cheng, and then the Lantern Festival, I followed the Lantern Festival closely, not because I was afraid, but because I may have closed my breath too early, I think I may not be able to hold it for too long, I need to pass as soon as possible.
And just when the Lantern Festival was about to pass, my ears keenly caught a sound of air leakage, and then there was a burst of peculiar smell, I immediately thought of what kind of sound this was, I stared at the Lantern Festival with wide eyes, and scolded in my heart: Uncle, this kid is farting!
Lantern Xiao's expression immediately changed to the word "embarrassment", and he looked at me in horror. My face also changed, because I saw the "tentacles" next to me shaking and flipping, and quickly rushed towards Lantern Xiao's buttocks.
Lantern Xiao turned around and wanted to run with a desperate face, but before it could lift its legs, the "tentacle" had already arrived, and Lantern Xiao's eyes had a loveless look.
I secretly screamed badly, and as soon as I stretched out my hand, I subconsciously slapped the burning stick in my hand on Lantern Xiao's buttocks, and the "tentacle" suddenly turned and threw away because of the fear of fire and ashes.
Lantern Xiao was so frightened that I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, and then raised my foot and kicked Lantern Xiao over. In this way, one by one, we escaped from the encirclement of those "tentacles".
As soon as we left the attack range of those "tentacles", everyone let out a long breath, and Lantern Xiao sat on the ground all of a sudden, "Damn! It's too hanging! Almost no chrysanthemums! Then, turning his head to look at me, "Thank you, thanks to you this time, my ass ......"
I interrupted him with a wave of my hand, "Fuck your uncle, I'm not interested in your ass!" Can you not cause trouble, I think the biggest variable in whether our operation can succeed is you! ”
My statement was unanimously agreed by everyone, and even Zhou Chengdu nodded. I was still thinking about the changes in Lantern Festival's ability just now, but his unreliable problem has not changed at all. Lantern Xiao smiled awkwardly, but she wasn't angry.
In front of us, the terrain is upward, and it looks like a raised hill. We decided to climb to the top first and see what was going on around us.
Seeing that we had escaped from the encirclement of those "tentacles", I patted the soot on my body casually. Lantern Xiao walked next to me, looked at me while climbing to the top of the hill and said, "Zhuo Ran, don't be in a hurry to shoot first, in case you find that the hillside is also that kind of thing!" ”
"There won't be any more!" I looked in the direction on the other side of the hill, even though I couldn't see anything right now, "Lantern Festival, can you hope for something good!" Despite what I said, I stopped what I was doing.
"It's not that I'm not hoping for good things, I'm preventing things before they happen." Lantern Xiao said as he walked. "Besides, I can't say that with that kind of thing, if I want to say that the hills are all that thing, that's impossible!"
As we spoke, we had reached the top of the hill, and although the hill was not high, we could still see a large area below.
When we looked down, there was no shadow of the five-trick stone man, only a large area of dwarf bushes, and Lantern Xiao pointed to a "dwarf forest" below and said to me: "Look, how can I say so accurately, there is no such 'tentacle' down here, just a small tree." ”
I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, but I still felt that something looked a little wrong below, but I couldn't think of anything wrong, I was about to go down, and was suddenly pulled by Zhou Cheng next to me.
"What's wrong?" I looked at him, but saw Zhou Cheng's face was like ashes, looking down with a stern expression, holding a telescope in his hand.
Lantern Festival doesn't know why, "What's wrong, Brother Cheng?" ”
Zhou Cheng didn't answer him, but handed the telescope over, Lantern Xiao took the telescope suspiciously, looked down, and his face changed instantly, "Damn!" That's right! ”
I didn't understand for a moment, "What does this mean?" Say what! ”
Zhou Cheng still didn't speak, picked up a stone under his feet, raised his hand and threw it at the low bushes below. The stone fell into the bush accurately, and in an instant, the scene was like a stone thrown into a pond at the same time and there were ripples, and after the stone fell into the bush, all the branches began to dance in an instant.
Not only the piece in front of you is like this, this kind of dancing presents a chain reaction, and more "tentacles" that seem to be "dwarf bushes" dance.
We looked around and found in horror that the surrounding area of this hill was full of this kind of "tentacles", but we didn't find it when we came that night, with the dancing of these "tentacles", we saw through the gaps between the "tentacles" that one by one the five-trick stone people were mixed in, and under this strange scene, the expressions of those stone people became hideous.
At this moment, everyone's faces turned pale!
