Chapter 124: The Call of the Lantern Festival

Hearing Anadot ask this, of course I couldn't tell him that these cold sweats were caused by the fact that I had almost killed her by mistake just now. So I smiled and shook my head, but I didn't speak.

Anador then told me that when she was trapped inside, she was not hurt but was scared, thinking she was the only one left here. Speaking of this, Anadot couldn't help but choke up a little, although she was already brave and strong beyond ordinary people, it was understandable that she could not bear it when she faced such a situation for the first time. When I first entered Qilian Mountain, how could it not be like this! In terms of performance, I'm not as good as Anador now!

I suddenly remembered the human head, and in order not to add pressure to Anado, I didn't say it explicitly, but just asked her if anything strange happened inside.

Anador thought for a moment, then said, "When I was inside, I didn't encounter anything strange, but,"

Hearing her pause, I hurriedly asked, "But what?" You talk about it. ”

Anador hesitated, "I don't know if I heard it wrong, but I vaguely heard the sound of a horn in the depths of the mountain, similar to the sound of a bull's horn. ”

Listening to Anado's words, I remembered that when we crossed the river and spent the night in the valley, we heard the sound of an ancient battlefield echoing in the valley, and at that time, we analyzed that it was caused by the vibration caused by the evaporation of water vapor in the underground cavity, so will this be the case this time?

Seeing that I was a little distracted, Anador asked, "What do you want?" ”

I said, "Do you remember the valley we reached after crossing the underground canal?" I saw that Anado's eyes were a little straight, thinking that she hadn't remembered yet, so I continued to prompt: "It was the night you got sick and had a fever!" ”

I thought that Anadot would remember this, but I didn't expect that not only did she not have a sudden realization expression, but instead showed a nervous and frightened expression, which made me very puzzled!

I asked strangely, "Sister, are you okay, what's wrong with you?" ”

Anadoe paused for a moment, then smiled hurriedly, and said, "Ah, it's okay, but I haven't recovered yet!" ”

Although I was puzzled, I couldn't say anything, so I nodded and said to Anado: "Before you fell, did you see my second uncle or Lantern Festival?" ”

Seeing her shake her head, I was a little disappointed, and Anadore told me that she was knocked to the ground by the bomb's shockwave, and she was half unconscious, and then you felt like you were falling into the ground with a "boom". When she came to her senses, she found that she was already in the underground rift, and she couldn't climb back if she climbed up, so she had to follow the direction of the rift until she met me.

It seems that Anadot has gone much more smoothly than my experience, and I only hope to find the second uncle and them smoothly.

Unexpectedly, the first person I met this time was Anado. Anyway, I'm finally not alone anymore, which makes my heart feel a lot easier. Still, after the initial joy, I had some worries in my heart, and in some of the previous events, we had some doubts about what Anadot had done, and even some doubts about her identity.

And now that Anador and I are alone, I don't know if the journey will be complicated. Dealing with such things, I'm not good at it, when I was with my second uncle and them, I still had something to rely on, but now I face it myself, my heart is a little bottomless, I can only remind myself to be vigilant all the time.

We walked some distance further, and suddenly, two shrill "slaps" sounded from the silent passage. I was taken aback, and my heart was pounding. I hurriedly lowered my body, clenched the gun in my hand, and looked around warily.

Anador was also frightened, crouching beside me, looking around in horror, "What was that sound just now?" ”

I shook my head, lowered my voice and said, "I don't know!" ”

But the strange sound only rang twice, and then stopped. We stayed cautious for a while, but we didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. I listened intently to the movement around me, and there was no movement other than the sound of the two of us breathing, and the sound of the ghost's gasping air.

So, the two of us stood up again, and just as we were about to move on, suddenly the voice just now rang out again.

This time, Anador suddenly exclaimed, and then listened again, "Hey! It's like a sound coming from your backpack! ”

"What?" I quickly unloaded my backpack and listened, and sure enough, it was the sound coming from my backpack. I may have been too nervous just now, and the space here was empty, so there was a reflection of sound, and I didn't react for a while. I couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly, "What a fool! ”

I reached out and fumbled in my backpack, and soon found something that made a sound, which was the walkie-talkie that Lantern Xiao had repaired. The walkie-talkie was held in my hand at this time, and it was still making a "snort" sound, in this quiet environment, its sound was particularly harsh, and I quickly turned down the volume.

I don't know anything about this thing, but I can fiddle with that knob a few times.

Suddenly, an intermittent voice came out of it, the sound was very small and very faint, I put the walkie-talkie to my ear and listened to it for a while, only to find that the voice received on the walkie-talkie turned out to be, "Zhuo Ran! Exceptional! Can you hear it! ”

This made me happy in my heart, it seems that the person who sent me the signal was Lantern Festival, I immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said loudly: "I'm here!" I'm here! Isn't it the Lantern Festival? ”

But the Lantern Festival on the other end of the walkie-talkie didn't seem to hear my voice at all, and still kept asking, "Zhuo Ran, can you receive it?" ”

I continued to say loudly, "Yes! I can receive it!! Lantern Festival! ”

But the walkie-talkie on the other side still kept repeating this sentence, and it seemed that I couldn't hear my voice at all, and after calling a few times during the Lantern Festival, the voice in the walkie-talkie disappeared!

I looked at the walkie-talkie, which suddenly lost its movement, and couldn't help but be stunned. Seeing that the opportunity for the upcoming meeting was disappearing in front of my eyes, this made me very annoyed, and then scolded: "Lantern Festival, you stupid X!" ”

Anador patted me, "Don't worry, could it be that the walkie-talkie broke?" ”

I shook my head, very irritated inside, "I don't know, I hope not!" "I forced myself to calm down, I found that since I went underground, my emotions have become a little sensitive, all kinds of emotions will be relatively amplified, I don't know why this change has happened, maybe it has something to do with the current situation.

Anyway, at least I know by now that Lantern Festival is still alive.

I took a few deep breaths, and then said to Anado: "It's also possible that the distance between the two walkie-talkies is not close enough, after all, there are layers here, and there are many holes and cracks in the mountain, which may block the transmission of signals, so let's go further!" ”

Anador nodded, and we continued on our way. I held the walkie-talkie in my hand, ready to receive the signal from the Lantern Festival.

At this time, I saw a bunch of strange things on the ground not far ahead, I carefully walked over and looked, and found that the ground was actually a dead monkey, but the appearance of its death made me feel very strange! With the exception of the head, the rest of the monkey's body has dried up.

Anador also came over to take a look, and couldn't help frowning, "This seems to be a guinea tailed monkey, but how could it die here?" ”

I looked at Anador and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

Anado continued: "There are not many dolphin-tailed monkeys in Guangxi, but these monkeys are not only agile, but also very intelligent! Unless there is a fight between their kind, a disease, or a human hunt, there is basically only one way for them to die in this life, and that is to die of old age! Pointing to the corpse of the monkey on the ground, Anador said, "But look at this one, it is obvious that it is in the prime of life, so it is unlikely that it will die alone in such a place in this way." ”

I thought for a moment and said, "Is it possible that this guinea tail monkey entered this place by mistake, but after it came in, it got lost and couldn't get out, and finally died here." ”

Anador shook his head, "As I said, this guinea-tailed monkey is very intelligent, and not only that, but it also has the innate vigilance of a beast, as well as its sensitive senses, which are many times stronger than humans in this regard. So, maybe people will get lost here, but it won't. ”

Although I still didn't trust Anado, I didn't think she had a problem with that, so I nodded and said, "Okay, no matter how it died, let's be careful!" ”

I wanted to walk over, but when I looked at the carcass on the ground, I always felt that something was wrong. Looking at its head, I judged that it wouldn't be too long before he died, but if that was the case, how could its body have shriveled up to that extent? This seems even more illogical than the fact that it died here.

I crouched down and touched the guinea-tailed monkey with the muzzle of my gun, and I was stunned for a moment. Then I raised the muzzle of my gun again, and immediately stood up with an exclamation, "Ah! ”

Anador was taken aback by my movements, and also took a step back nervously, asking, "You, what's wrong with you?" ”

I pointed to the guinea-tailed monkey on the ground and said in a panic, "All that's left is a skin and a skeleton!" The meat is gone! ”
