Chapter 112: The Dance of Demons (I)
The vast team was divided into several squads, and the darkness was interspersed with dense labyrinths of ancient trees.
Although Lin Yetian strongly believed that acting separately in horror movies was to deliver food one by one, the ancient griffin did not listen to his opinion.
After all, the most important thing for these warriors is their own safety, but for Sandu Gudi, the most important thing is to replenish the depleted food reserves.
Only large-scale de-action can ensure maximum access to resources.
It was night, in a gray night, dozens of squads were divided into several different groups of forces interspersed in the dark jungle ambush, and the sound of rustling accompanied by the dance of the dense forest and whispered.
"I said, why does it feel so peaceful here, and there is no fun at all...... Did you deliberately trick us out and make us walk violently, thus draining our physical strength?"
Lin Yetian suddenly gained insight into something as he spoke, and suddenly turned his head to see the cold man muttering in disbelief.
"It's not. ”
The ancient griffin coldly spit out two words, ignoring Lin Yetian, who suddenly became ill, and coldly stared at the possible attack in the darkness around him.
I don't know why, after announcing that they had formed their own teams, the ancient griffin did not form a team with the elite soldiers on the City Lord's Mansion, but followed behind Lin Yetian and the others without saying a word.
You know, they are just newcomers who just came to the camp not long ago, but they have attracted a person who can be the acting city lord to join, which is really a bit strange.
However, Xue Muyan still agreed, there was no reason for her to take the initiative to send such a powerful combat power to the door.
"How's the monster over here. ”
Oliver nervously surveyed his surroundings as he sneered as an ancient griffon.
The ancient griffin didn't speak, but squinted his eyes slightly at the dark and dreary underground, and after a long time slowly spoke:
"Already...... I was able to ambush humans. ”
As if in response to the ancient griffin's words, the soil suddenly turned out of the originally black and oppressive soil, and a rustling sound came from the soil.
"Duke!"
A dark shadow sprang out of the dirt of Matsudaira and reached the woman's position, only to see her hastily lift a rotten wooden plank that was used as a shield, and was directly knocked into the crumbling ancient tree by the force of the impact, leaving a large cloud of dust behind.
It was at this moment that several people silently saw the monster in front of them with the help of the white moonlight.
It is a mouse-like mutant creature that is nearly a meter long, hairless, disgusting, wrinkled, and has huge front teeth. Its incisors can easily bite through stone, wood, and bones, a kind of guy that eats almost anything.
It is also a food source for most humans.
If it were a stone-only team, it would have done little damage to the toothed rat, but it was a well-trained team that it encountered.
Oliver swooped sideways and slammed into it with brute force with all his muscles
, which was pushed down on the crumbling ancient tree at a critical moment.
The branches of the ancient tree were snapped by the violent impact, and large chunks of dust and severed limbs fell from above, crushing the toothed rat underneath, and then Oliver stepped on it violently, and his muscles swelled, and he picked up the long sword in his hand and stabbed it into the heart.
"Whew!"
After a painful, high-pitched, baby-like cry, the toothed rat gradually lost its life.
"Whew...... If every monster is like this, then we can have something to gain tonight. ”
Oliver exhaled lightly, expertly smashing the toothed mouse's corpse into pieces, filling his backpack and wiping the sweat from his face.
"Personally, I think your idea is hard to implement. ”
The ancient griffin didn't look back, and after glancing at the corpse of the toothed mouse, he continued to look like the front coldly.
Xue Muyan frowned, picked up the woman who fell to the ground, and followed after seeing that she was fine.
The dilapidated tunnels were littered with small puddles of water, and the white light of the night made it seem more and more difficult for everyone to move forward.
At the same time, from time to time, screams were heard in the dense forest, adding a lot of horror to the terrifying atmosphere.
"You say...... Is it possible that the dark river in the central camp has something to do with that blue stone gate?"
In the gray darkness, Xue Muyan's eyes carefully swept the surrounding dangerous environment, but what she said was something that had nothing to do with the present.
"Please respect the monsters you may encounter! Don't talk about anything that has nothing to do with monsters!"
Lin Yetian reminded dissatisfied.
"Aren't you still there to protect me?"
In the darkness, Xue Muyan suddenly playfully pursed her mouth, and the miserable white moonlight was projected on her white and flawless side face, and Lin Yetian's eyes straightened for a while.
"Oh, it's also provoking when you say that, I'm a mighty and invincible little Langjun, don't worry. Lin Yetian scratched his head embarrassedly.
Xue Muyan smiled and did not continue to speak.
"That...... When are we going to go back......"
The woman behind her asked weakly, the impact just now made her a little disgraced, but fortunately, the heavy armor she was wearing protected her internal organs well so that she didn't spit blood from her mouth.
"Wait for the dawn to come and we can go back. ”
Lin Yetian answered casually.
Is the dawn coming......
The woman looked a little worried.
"Rest assured, life is long and fleeting, some people see dust, some people see stars. ”
Lin Yetian smiled faintly.
Walking into a dark puddle, Xue Muyan suddenly had empty feet, and her thin and straight calves sank into the ground, Lin Yetian just wanted to help, but was stopped by Xue Muyan waving his hand.
There was a hint of doubt on her cheeks as she sank into the ground
The leg is pulled.
Some wood chips were brought along. And the original
A dark cavity appeared in the ground.
The hollow is bottomless, and it is difficult to see the specific scene inside with the naked eye.
Carefully retreating, Xue Muyan and a few people brushed away the surrounding sand, and a rotten wooden board appeared in front of everyone. In the middle of this black hole is a cellar.
The ancient griffin tapped the plank and quietly leaned his ears up, and after a long time lifted it. A cool breeze with a fishy smell blows in your face.
The woman took out the simple torch made by logistics, lit it with flint and handed it to Xue Muyan.
Xue Muyan took it and poked the torch into the dark cellar. The flickering firelight illuminated the cellar space, the ground was scattered with bones, there were two dark holes in the earthen walls, and a chill of cold wind blew several people shuddered.
In the other corner, a generator is placed, and the gnawed potholes have almost lost their prototype.
It seems that some creature uses this as a lair.
Xue Muyan blew out the fire torch, looked at Lin Yetian, and opened her red lips to ask, "What will build a nest underground?"
"Workers?"
Lin Yetian was stunned.
Xue Muyan was silent for a long time, thinking that he was talking about rat people, frowned slightly, and said a little strangely:
"No, the group of rat people in this kind of place obviously don't have the courage to come, and if they do, I'm afraid they will have no bones left. ”
Oliver carefully wiped the dust with his fingers and said slowly, "The marks on the ground are very new. Whatever it is, they'll be back. ”
"It's the base camp of those toothed rats. The corners of the ancient griffin's mouth rose slightly: "I think, we'll be busy in a while." ”
After a few deliberations, they decided to conserve the necessary firepower and make improvised traps to capture these monsters.
Xue Muyan took out the detector and silently spied the general situation of this cave.
The bottom of this cave is about three meters deep and leads to the cellar
The wooden ladder is still there, but no one wants to test whether it is sturdy.
Using vines as ropes, several men hoisted the members with rudimentary weapons such as incisor daggers and iron pieces into the cellar, attached a few pieces of smashed iron to the top of the hole, and then returned to the ground to close the cellar lid to cover up the hole and restore everything to its original state.
He also found a large number of branches of deciduous trees that still had water and had not completely dried up, and piled them up on the bonfires that had been raised in the shops as various measures to attract monsters.
After everything was arranged, several people silently stepped back, hiding their bodies in a dark dense forest, picking up a few large leaves as a shield, revealing only a few bright pupils.
Now it's time to wait for the toothed rat to return to the nest.
A few people scattered the roofs and courtyards with some idleness, silently observing the ruined city, whispering to each other.
"I always have a sense of foreboding......"
"What?"
"The surviving humans have rendered the ground full of dangers, but now it seems that there is no ...... except for some trouble caused by a toothed mouse."
"These creatures are not stupid, and the barren places for us are no different for them. There's no hair here, do you rely on eating concrete?"
"Are you sure?"
"Big ...... Probably...... What if something is really eaten? Think about it, the eagle eats the chicken when he is in a hurry, and the girl still likes to be jealous......
Xue Muyan suddenly glanced at Lin Yetian coldly, and the latter silently shrank his head and closed his mouth.
In the midst of the whispering conversation, an indescribable sound, as if piercing the sky, filled with loneliness, was so dull and so great that it seemed shocking that it spread faintly in the sky.
The sound was so strange that several people scattered in the darkness of the dense forest looked up one after another, staring at the gray sky in the thick clouds, and a strange figure seemed to appear on the white moonlight.
Almost as far as the eye could see, a terrifying fish of unknown length was tumbling and swimming in the sea of clouds.
The clouds were swept up, obscuring the figure of the big fish. It faded into the sea of clouds in a lonely and muffled sound.
"Ah, it's Xie Guangkun..."Lin Yetian untimely ruined this extremely meaningful scene.
The surrounding members came back to their senses, but they didn't hear it, and continued with the unfinished business.
At the same time, conversations around the unknown big fish rang out throughout the forest.
......
In a hidden corner of the jungle, several doomsday warriors covered in blood gasped and leaned against strange black bamboos.
Next to them, three Doomsday warriors, also dressed in heavy iron armor, lay in a pool of blood, with a large hole in their lower abdomen and guts flowing from the ground.
On the opposite side, a monster with an upper body and a horse on its lower body had countless wounds on its body, which were obviously killed by several people.
"Damn, this bitch raised something, a second-level monster killed three of our team members, wouldn't it be ...... if you meet other monsters"
The man in the lead clutched his bleeding wounds, palpitating.
"Captain, or else...... We...... Let's go back, I'm really scared......"
"Yes, Captain, go back, we're all going to die here if we continue like this. ”
"Eh, yes, eh, ......"
During the break, several people looked uneasy, and nervously like the leading man proposed.
"Damn, do you think Lao Tzu doesn't want to? But the upper echelons of the sons of bitches have already given a death order, and the squad that can't catch five prey before dawn will be killed! We'll either die at the hands of monsters or at the hands of those dog officers...... Take your pick!"
The captain explained helplessly.
"Ah......h It's going to force us to death......"
"But why didn't those civilians come out!"
"You're stupid! In this case, they're already a herd of animals to be slaughtered, do you want to be like them!"
"It's over, GG......"
A few people were full of pessimism, and in this gloomy environment, with a gust of cold wind blowing, several people's bodies seemed to tremble even more.
"If nothing happens, let's rest and keep going, the night is still long...... By the way, Luke, how much do you have in reserve?"
The leading man bandaged his wound and came casually, only after a while did he realize that no one had responded to his figure.
"Luke?" a bad emotion rose in the man's heart.
He turned his head slightly, only to realize that the original five people had become four people at some point.
"Shift!" the man cursed in a low voice, "Damn, it's gone at this time...... Manti, you go ......"
Before he finished speaking, the man suddenly felt a few demonic winds coming from behind him, and turned his head suddenly, only to find that there were only shadows of black bamboo in the dark environment.
The few Doomsday Warriors who were still trembling and making noises just now were gone.
"How...... What's going on......"
The chilling feeling in the heart of the leading man filled his heart, and he almost cried out on the spot.
In the next second, a sharp stinging sensation came from his chest, and he looked down in disbelief at his chest that had been pierced by a big hole in black bamboo, and then raised his head silently in fear, and as far as his eyes could see, there was a huge one above his head that covered the entire dense forest, not a dark cloud but a huge giant spider!
Looking at the black graphite-like ink bamboos in the cold wind, the man finally reacted.
It's not bamboo, it's the legs of a giant spider!
When he wanted to say something, the light of life in the man's eyes gradually dimmed, and his hands gradually became weaker and weaker in the wind......
......
As time passed, as the sky turned from gloomy to gloomy, several people seemed to be a little impatient, shaking their legs, and their steps were also stained with dust.
Just when Lin Yetian was bored and was about to perform a handstand to pee, suddenly Xue Muyan's voice came from his ears.
"Shh......h There's movement. ”
Some small noises came from underground. In the almost boring minutes, the sky had made it impossible for everyone hiding in the darkness to see each other's expressions.
At this moment, Xue Muyan raised her hand to signal.
Oliver knew in his heart that he carefully rekindled the fireworks that were already some embers left, and then put in a large number of branches and leaves. Smoke gradually rose.
Seeing that the time was ripe, the ancient griffin cut down the vines, and the iron pieces in the cellar fell, and one person lifted the cellar lid, and several people picked up the smoke and threw it into the cellar!
At the end of the first round of coordination, several people pressed the lid with heavy objects, retreated to the edge and waited. There was a rapid squeak, and there were pieces of iron
The clash of being slammed.
A minute later, there was no movement in the underground.
Just in case, the crowd waited for a few more minutes, until someone urged them to open the lid, and when the smoke cleared, they threw the torches into the cellar.
The cellar scene appeared in front of everyone. The six toothed rats fell motionless, surrounded by digging marks from their front teeth.
Soon, the crowd found one in the hole that had been sealed with iron sheets. This toothed rat, which is smarter than other kinds, has dug a pit nearly half a meter in the earth wall, but unfortunately it has fallen short.
A total of seven toothed rats, a big harvest.
"It seems that there are still a few still alive...."Oliver's sharp eyes, without years of experience in the apocalypse, made him not rush forward, but observed several corpses, and found that the chests of these toothed rats were still undulating.
Just as he was about to take up his weapon and deliver the final blow, a figure leaped down, its legs bent to cushion and unload.
Lin Yetian walked to the nearest toothed mouse, and the short sword in his hand stabbed into the brain of the toothed mouse fiercely, twisting it hard, and the latter twitched a few times and stopped moving.
Lin Yetian opened coldly: "It seems that you are still too weak for me." ”
He is probably the only one who can do such a high-sounding head-grabbing job.
Xue Muyan looked at the short sword in his hand and said strangely:
"Didn't you bring any equipment?"
"Oh, that's what you say. Lin Yetian picked up the short sword in his hand and raised it high and explained, "This is the blue token, which I made like this." ”
Xue Muyan was silent.
Fortunately, the ancient griffin didn't mean anything strange, just stepped forward and counted it silently.
Oliver followed, and even the new woman looked hesitant, and then cautiously stepped along, inadvertently stomping on the head of a toothed mouse.
On the other side, Lin Yetian, who was walking towards the fifth toothed mouse, looked at the somewhat black corpse that had been burned, and muttered, "We came out to talk about credibility, and if we say that we will kill your whole family, we will kill your whole family." ”
Xue Muyan glanced at him suspiciously, then ignored him and silently dragged out a toothed mouse buried in a pit with half of his body buried in the dirt.
It seemed to be struggling slightly, and was cleanly twisted by Xue Muyan's neck.
"Seven toothed rats...... I don't know what others have gained. ”
Oliver half-crouched and bent down, the sharp iron knife in his hand forcefully cutting through the pieces of minced meat, all of which were packed in the storage bag behind him without any delay.
Unbeknownst to him, the situation of the other teams was nowhere near as easy as theirs......
