Chapter 55: The Strange Face on the Shoulder

It was so unusual that my heart was furious, and I felt like I had to leave right away.

I swung my knife and cut off the hanging cobwebs beside me, turned around and ran towards the entrance of the cave, just at this time, the rope of the Lantern Festival was also sent down.

However, perhaps because the distance between the Lantern Festival is not calculated, the distance between the rope and the hole is a little far. I reached out twice and almost fell off.

My current position should not be too far from the top of the cliff, so for the sake of safety, I think if I don't lean out and just shout loudly from inside, the Lantern Festival should be heard.

So I shouted at the entrance of the cave, "Lantern Festival, the rope is crooked, lean a little to the left!" ”

Sure enough, Lantern Xiao heard my voice, and I heard him respond, "Damn! How do I know which side you are talking about on the left?? ”

The situation in the cave is unknown, and there is something strange, I am anxious, I hope to be able to get out of here as soon as possible, plus I should have some spider silk on my body and neck, which makes me feel that these parts are always faintly itchy, but I can't catch them, which makes me really irritable. So I shouted again, "It's you on the left hand side facing the cliff!! Hurry up!!! ”

Lantern Xiao should have understood what I meant, and I saw that the rope that hung down was moving, and it was leaning towards my position.

However, I reached out and tried but couldn't reach it, so I had to poke my head out cautiously and shout at it, "It's not enough, let's do it again!" ”

Hearing my shout, Lantern Xiao also poked his head out from above, "I'll go, where are you......" However, he was just halfway through speaking, and suddenly his face changed drastically, I was a little surprised, I didn't know what was going on over there, so I asked, "What's wrong?" Are you okay? ”

Before Lantern Xiao could speak, Anaduo also poked her head out at this time, and she just glanced down, and her eyes widened suddenly, as if she saw something terrifying, she covered her mouth with one hand, and pointed to my position with the other, as if to say something to Lantern Xiao.

I looked around and there was nothing out of the ordinary, and I was very puzzled, what? Is it strange that I am in this position?

And just when I was guessing, I saw Lantern Xiao take out the gun, pull the bolt hard, and I heard a crisp "click" sound. But what I didn't expect was that he actually pointed his gun at me!

My face also changed, "Damn!! What are you going to do during the Lantern Festival!! ”

Lantern Xiao made a non-moving gesture at me, then pointed at me and patted her left shoulder. I was stunned for a moment, but I suddenly understood what he meant, and for a moment I felt half of my body freeze.

I slowly turned my head slightly to the left, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw something lying on my left shoulder! I couldn't see clearly, but I was convinced that I was absolutely right, and I realized why my neck always felt a little itchy!

I felt the cold sweat on my head run down in an instant. What the hell is this, and how did it get to my shoulder? I didn't even notice it!

I froze in place like a stake, not daring to move, and just as I was panicking, all of a sudden, the Lantern Festival gun rang out, and at the same time a strange scream came from my shoulder, and then something splashed in my face.

As I felt an extremely slight movement on my shoulder, I knew that the thing should have left. I hurriedly grabbed the dagger and looked around, but found nothing.

I touched my face, there was some pale cyan liquid on it, I put it under my nose and smelled it, there was a weird fishy smell, it made me a little nauseous, I hurriedly wiped it off with my sleeve.

I looked up at the Lantern Festival above, and he often breathed a sigh at this time, and then jumped up all of a sudden, grabbed the rope on the ground, threw it hard at my position, and shouted at me: "Hurry up!" Tie the rope around your waist and we'll pull you up!! ”

I didn't dare to hesitate at this moment, and tied the climbing rope tightly around my waist. This time with the Lantern Festival, they pulled on it, I don't have to worry about slipping down, I just need to grab the rattan, step on the raised rock, and with a little force, I will climb fast. Actually, I don't have to do it myself, and I will be pulled up, but I don't want them to work too hard during the Lantern Festival.

When I was halfway up, I turned my head and looked down, and in front of the cave entrance just now, for some reason, a large number of cobwebs floated out, and it looked as if countless arms were sticking out of the hole, and people couldn't help but shudder when they saw it.

And I suddenly noticed that between the fluttering cobwebs, there was a slender claw stretched out at the entrance of the cave. But before I could see it clearly, it slowly retreated again.

This scene made me very curious about this cave, but I didn't have the courage to go in and explore it again for a while.

Soon, I was pulled up by Lantern Festival and Anadot. As soon as they saw me coming up, the two of them immediately surrounded me, and looked back and forth before and after the Lantern Festival, "How is it?" Are you okay? ”

I gently rubbed my still sore shoulder, then shook my head at him.

Lantern Xiao cautiously looked at the bottom of the cliff again, and then put the gun away, "What was you lying on your stomach just now?" ”

"I don't know!" Thinking about what I just saw, I still got goosebumps.

"It's all on you, you don't even know!" Lantern Xiao frowned, "What kind of vigilance are you!" ”

I wasn't happy when I heard it, "Damn, you go down and try!" Less TM is talking cool here! ”

"Alright, alright!" Anado interrupted us, "What's the noise, are you two still young?" As he spoke, he stepped forward and checked my shoulder, and some blood oozed from the gauze that had been bandaged. That thing was lying right on your back, and I think it was probably attracted to the smell of blood. ”

"Hey! That's right! I suddenly remembered something, so I asked Anadot and Lantern Xiao, "I couldn't see what that thing looked like when it was behind me just now, but you two were up there at the time, did you see what that thing looked like?" ”

Hearing me ask, the expressions of the two men changed at the same time, as if they remembered something terrible. I saw that neither of them spoke, so I urged, "Speak, what is it?" ”

Anaduo said with some hesitation: "I was too nervous at the time, I didn't see it too clearly, I just remember that the one on your shoulder seems to be a face!" ”

"A face?" A chill suddenly swelled up in my heart, and I looked at them in a panic.

Lantern Xiao also nodded, "That's right, it's indeed a face, a face without eyes!" ”

"Also, still," I couldn't help but stammer when I heard Lantern Xiao say this, "Don't have eyes yet?!" I thought for a moment, "Is this thing a human or a ghost?" ”

Lantern Xiao said: "I don't know if it's a ghost or not, it's definitely not a human anyway!" ”

Anado also looked very nervous at this time, "I think, let's go quickly!" ”

I nodded, and Lantern Xiao packed up the rope. Then the three of us started to make our way upstream along the waterfall. The river that produces the waterfall has a strange direction, and it arcs along the cliff before plunging headlong into the jungle.

As we walked along the river, we came to the edge of the cliff on the other side again, the situation here is very different from just now, and the view is much stronger than just now, the elevation of Mt. Fujimon is much higher than the surrounding peaks, so we stand here and have a feeling of seeing all the mountains.

At this time, Lantern Xiao pointed in one direction below and said, "Look! That's someone! ”

We looked in the direction of his finger and found that there was a team advancing in the dense forest in the distance below, and it looked like it was the Yuan family's team!

Anador put her hand on the pergola and looked down, "It seems that they are also coming in our direction." ”

I nodded, "It seems that the direction and route we chose are not wrong. ”

"But I'm weird." Lantern Xiao couldn't help but smile, "After being attacked by giant mosquitoes, they obviously chose the opposite direction from us, but I didn't expect that after a turn, they could still go around!" ”

I said: "Don't underestimate the Yuan family's team, they must have their own methods, and Yuan Anke is definitely not a simple character, aside from luck and ability, the three of us are not his opponents." ”

Even though Lantern Festival is usually not afraid of the sky and the earth, seven are dissatisfied and eight are not angry, but this time when he heard me say this, he nodded without refuting.

Lantern Xiao patted me and Anadot, "Let's go quickly, we must not let the Yuan family's team take the lead, if they find any relics of the ancestors first, there will definitely be no scum left, we will come in vain this time, and we will lose a lot!" ”

I smiled helplessly, but I still followed Lantern Xiao and went into the jungle along the river.

In this jungle, the characteristics of the rainforest are even more obvious. From time to time, puddles and small swamps appear on the ground. Fortunately, we have prepared in advance, and the shoes are lightly waterproof. Probably because of the distance from the lightning strike area below the cliff, the place is more vibrant. Birds chirp and insects chirp, and in the puddle under your feet, from time to time some kind of reptile will startle, and you don't know where to climb after a while.

Not only that, but the architectural remains here are also beginning to increase, and the entire ruins and ruins have become quite large, and the surrounding vines can no longer cover them.

And the rivers we are tracking are still narrowing and scattering. The divergent rivers also became more and more numerous, and we followed in one direction. The river, which had turned into a trickle, finally disappeared into the huge swamp in front of it. It seems that this is the source of the river.
