Chapter 1: The Raging Beast
District 11, Valley of Silence, next to the mines.
Qiu Long stood silently at the edge of the mine. Dressed in brown, he seems to have blended in with his surroundings.
On the top of the rock wall more than 30 meters high, a huge cylindrical lamp source is covered by steel mesh, emitting a yellow-orange-orange light, and the space of thousands of square meters is like copper. The damp and cold wind blew, and the pillar lamps did not move and sounded empty. People can't help but feel cold on the soles of their feet and shiver all over.
The black entrance of the mine is like a monster capable of devouring everything, opening its mouth wide and waiting for its prey to throw itself into the net.
Qiu Long has been waiting for a long time. He knows that patience gives a chance and tenacity gets the point. He had now adjusted himself, calm and sharp, and he could even hear the heartbeats of several of his companions in the distance.
He stared at the entrance of the cave, and the entrance of the cave was watching him.
He sensed the time had come. Slowly pulled out a glow stick from his waist, folded it slightly, and the cyan light lit up. He waved his glow stick back, reached out and pinched his left chest, and a red dot flashed regularly on his chest.
He threw the glow stick into the mouth of the mine, and as he watched the tumbling cyan light, his whole body tensed, and he focused on the movement inside the cave. After more than ten seconds, the cyan light stopped moving, and the glow stick was at the bottom of the cave. Suddenly, there was a low roar at the bottom of the cave, and a large, ugly mouth swallowed the glow stick. The cave went dark in an instant.
At this time, Qiu Long stretched out his hand and whistled, and quickly dodged the entrance of the cave, hiding behind a rock.
I saw a gray shadow rushing out of the hole with great speed, opening its mouth to bite where the dragon had been standing. Unexpectedly, as soon as he bit the air, he became extremely irritable, turning in a circle, waiting for an opportunity to attack.
The dragon adjusted his breathing and slowly poked his head out from behind the stone. I saw that the beast was about three meters long, covered in short gray hair, with an extremely short tail, six legs, four ears, four nostrils, and degraded eyes, but its hearing sense was abnormally sensitive, with a wide mouth and fangs, and its movements were agile. No matter how many times he has seen it, Qiu Long still feels scary at this time. Moreover, this is only the biggest one he has seen for the first time in his life.
This beast is called the blind beast, dormant underground all the year round, the most like to live alone, the concept of territory is very strong, the slightest wind and grass in the range, it will be irritable and abnormal, see the invader of the territory, often fight either you die, or I die. The blind beast feeds on rare ores all its life, and for a long time, a piece of ore essence condenses in its stomach. This essence is extremely scarce by the government, but it is extremely difficult to obtain. It is because the government strictly controls the killing of blind beasts and the extraction of ore essence, which can only be monopolized by the government. No matter how other people or groups are obtained, once discovered, the government forces will strictly pursue them.
Qiu Long slowly took out a remote control and pressed it gently, only to hear a soft sound of "pop", as if someone had stepped on a stone, and a puff of yellow smoke came out from the root of a stalagmite about three meters high ten meters away.
The blind beast heard the sound and quickly roared forward, only to hear a muffled sound, and the stalagmite broke into two. The blind beast was knocked back a few steps. Shaking his head, he then pounced on his mouth to find it, and a piece of flesh had been broken through his head, and the pale blue blood was dripping and dripping.
I only heard another "pop" sound at the bottom of the rock in the distance, and the blind beast followed the sound and stormed violently again. In the distance, several sharp iron spikes placed at the bottom of a rock were triggered by the blind beast, and one of the blind beast's legs was pierced, and the spikes were barbed, and the blind beast's legs were tired by the spikes and could not move forward, roaring. He opened his mouth, bit off his wounded leg, and continued to rush towards the sound, and with another muffled sound, the blind beast fainted and fell to the ground.
The dragon is overjoyed. Slowly walking out from behind the rock, another person flashed nearby, and a red dot still flashed on his left chest. Qiu Long waved his hand at her and whispered; "Yazi, be careful!" The man nodded, reached out and drew a short-handled sword from behind his back, and slowly walked towards the blind beast.
The blind beast lay on its side on the ground, its head constantly gushing out light blue blood, and its belly fell together, and it didn't seem to be dead. However, because they had no eyes, it was difficult for the two of them to discern the true state of the beast.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Yazi looked at him and whispered with a smile: "Deaf, it can't move for the time being, will it suddenly open its eyes and jump up, I think we should stay away from it, and wait for the scar to come!" ”
Qiu Long gave him a blank look and said, "You are deaf!" After a pause, he said, "I think it's better to listen to you, be careful!" Otherwise, you will become Brother Scar! “
The two looked at each other and grinned!
A sudden cry suddenly sounded not far behind, "It takes a lot of courage to say that people are not gentlemen, and it takes a lot of courage to become a scar!" It's not something you kids can understand! A beard flashed out of the shadows, and a scar slashed from the right eyebrow to the right cheek, and the eyes were crooked, and they walked over with a smile instead of a smile. A short electric fork in his right hand keeps turning towards his left palm.
The two of them were startled, turned to their beards together, and made a silent gesture.
By this time it was too late. When he turned around, the blind beast had already turned over and stood in front of him, its nostrils opening and sucking, and it let out a low roar of extreme rage!
Qiu Long's eyes stared at the blind beast, and his right hand motioned for Yazi to slowly dodge away. The steel claw had been taken out in his left hand, and the right hand had turned it over again, and a dagger was already in his hand. At this time, he knew very well that grenades and other similar weapons of mass destruction should never be used, otherwise they would hurt his own people. Then I thought about it, I didn't bring these things with me!
The time is fleeting!
By this time, the blind beast had already kicked its hind legs, opened its huge mouth and pounced on the dragon. Ako dodged nimbly.
The dragon has no chance to dodge. At that moment, with a hug of his left hand and his head flashing to the right, he instantly hugged the blind beast's head, and then the dagger in his right hand stabbed the blind beast in the back!
The blind beast snorted in pain, raised its front legs high, and shook its head wildly. The dragon took advantage of the momentum to exert his strength, and with a shake of his right leg, he flipped onto the back of the blind beast.
The blind beast felt someone on its back, and felt an abnormal pain on its back, so it went on a rampage!
The dragon was shaken on his back, and he was afraid of falling, and his left and right hands were both exerted, and the steel claw hooked the corners of the blind beast's mouth, and the dagger pierced deeply into the blind beast's shoulder blade.
The blind beast howled upward, dropped its front legs, kicked straight on its hind legs, and rushed out like an arrow, hitting its head on a rock. The dragon suddenly fell off the beast's back.
The blind beast listened to the sound and argued, and instantly rushed to the front of the dragon, opened its mouth and bit down!
It happened in a flash of lightning. Yazi had just flashed out and stood still, and her beard was still running here. The two of them couldn't get along so far, so they could only watch a man and a beast roll and fight there.
A huge mouth of fangs had reached in front of the dragon, and a disgusting fishy smell instantly splashed all over the dragon with hot blue blood. Seeing a big mouth biting his head, Qiu Long suddenly changed, his left elbow immediately reached into the blind beast's mouth against the lower jaw, the steel claw pressed against the upper jaw, and the dagger in his right hand was too deep to stay on the blind beast's back before falling. At this time, he couldn't care about it, and inserted his right arm into the blind beast's mouth, and pressed against the blind beast's upper and lower jaws.
The blind beast could not close its mouth, and ran and scratched indiscriminately under the rage. Under the bite of the blind beast's mouth, the dragon's two arms felt painful and almost broken! My body has reached its limit, and I feel like I'm losing my strength!
The blind beast was frightened and in pain, and then turned to the entrance of the cave and ran! Seeing this, Yazi and Bearded were shocked, and they both thought to themselves that if the blind beast brought the dragon into the cave, then the dragon would surely die. No one outside can enter the cave, that's terrible!
With a twist of thought, the two of them have already rushed to the ground! Yazi is closer to the entrance of the cave, she goes straight to the entrance of the cave, screaming as she runs, so as to attract the blind beast, delay the time to enter the cave, and when the beard arrives, the three of them can jointly subdue the blind beast.
Who knew that under the madness of the blind beast, he ignored the interference of the outside world and ran wildly into the hole! The nest is the safest place!
When Yazi screamed, he would also reach the entrance of the cave, and the blind beast was almost in front of him. Yazi's heart was horizontal at this time, facing the blind beast, and shouted: "Deaf, let go!" ”
Qiu Long comprehended, pressed his feet against the belly of the blind beast, kicked out with all his might, pulled out his arms suddenly, and rolled to the side with agility!
At this time, Yazi faced the blind beast, sprinted forward, and when he was about to collide with the blind beast, he immediately turned sideways, leaned back, held the sword in both hands, and slashed the front legs of the blind beast with all his might, and immediately broke two of them.
The blind beast roared wildly, and its body castrated and dodged the hole, rolling on the ground in pain.
At this time, the beard has rushed. Hold the electric fork and stab it into the blind beast's mouth, only to see that the blind beast's entire head is covered with a silky arc, emitting a trace of green smoke, and a burnt smell is disgusting!
Seeing the blind beast fall to the ground, its body twitched continuously, and the fanged giant mouth slowly closed, the three of them slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and they all felt so dangerous! The beard pulled out the electric fork, lest the blind beast would not die, and poked at other parts indiscriminately.
Qiu Long squinted at him, waited for the beard to finish poking, and said, "Scar, vent is over!" ”
The beard let out a sigh of relief, and said with satisfaction: "Deaf, it's done!" Let's do it, get out quickly, in case the patrol of the Law Enforcement Department arrives, it will be difficult to explain! ”
Qiu Long nodded and waved his hand at Yazi.
Yazi came to the sense, held the sword in his right hand, stabbed into the abdomen of the blind beast, and pulled down hard, and a fist-sized hole appeared! Ako reached out and took it in, explored for a while, and her face was happy. Slowly pulled his hand out, and with a flip of his palm, a blue spar the size of an egg came into view, and he handed it to Qiu Long.
Yazi reached in again, and repeatedly pulled out two slightly smaller blue crystals.
The dragon and the beard are overjoyed. The beard said again and again: "It's not worth this trip!" It's worth the trip! "Looking left and right, very proud!
Qiu Long instructed the two to dispose of the blind beast's corpse as soon as possible. The two of them slowly dragged the blind beast to the entrance of the cave and pushed it down. The beard is vigorously knocked off a beast tooth as a souvenir. The two of them saw the beast body rolling and slowly disappearing along the dark cave, and when they heard the sound of "Peng", they knew that the matter was done!
The two of them turned around, but saw Qiu Long pinching a blue spar with his fingers and looking at the light from above. When the two of them came to look at it, they saw the blue ribbon circulating in the spar, which was magnificent and fascinating!
When he looked closer, he had carefully placed the hedron into a special sealed box. After putting it in his pocket, Qiu Long patted his pocket and said, "Yazi, Scar, we are in danger this time. On the one hand, he underestimated the enemy too much, did not do his homework, and almost lost his life; Second, the so-called wealth is in danger, this "risk" is there, and the wealth is rich, and we have to find a good buyer to shoot, and our equipment has to be upgraded! After speaking, he looked at the two of them, as if waiting for the two to speak.
Yazi looked at each other with his beard, and both felt that it made sense.
Yazi said, "The deaf man is right! I think so, Brother Scar has to reflect on it, and he has to keep up with the rhythm as soon as he encounters this situation again; In addition, hurry up and shoot the spar, so as not to have too many dreams at night! ”
This kind of spar due to the government's control and monopoly, it is extremely difficult to sell, because of the special use, coupled with the high price, many small forces in the society often take risks, the government widely spreads the eyeliner, "fishing law enforcement", and takes various means to crack down, indeed confiscated a lot of spars, and imprisons a group of underground traders. But under the huge profits, things often go on and on! Over time, the government army will turn a blind eye to some similar transactions, and if the upper echelons do not pursue it, it will be over!
Qiu Long said: "This place is not suitable for a long time! Yazi and I went back to District 12, and Scar went to District 13 to find someone to shoot as soon as possible. ”
The three of them walked to the bottom of the entrance to the Valley of Silence, found the secret passage where they had originally entered, and crawled more than 100 meters away, a soft ladder hung down from above, and the scar went first.
The three of them held their breath and learned that Suosuo went up to a slightly smooth tunnel and collected the soft ladder. A few dozen steps further, you will find a square hole sealed with a wooden plank.
Scar raised his arms, slowly lifted the plank and took it down, sticking his head out to look out. Holding the hole with both hands, he gently lifted his body out.
The two of them listened to Scar's footsteps slowly walk away. After a while, the two of them felt fine. The dragon pulled Yazi behind him, made a silent gesture with his right finger to his mouth, and slowly stretched his head towards the hole, ready to go out.
A big face suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave and almost hit his face! Qiu Long punched it, only to find out that it was a scar.
Scar was here to inform them that they were safe outside, which was a bit abrupt. The hole is small, and when I saw the fist, I couldn't avoid it, so I took a solid punch, but fortunately, I reacted quickly and let my eyes go. Although his face was in great pain, he didn't dare to shout! In the blink of an eye, he saw Yazi covering her mouth and smiling secretly, so she glared at her fiercely a few times, and her face showed embarrassment.
Out of the hole was a utility room, and the three of them blocked the entrance of the cave with wooden planks, and piled up some debris on top of it to cover the wooden planks.
The three of them changed their clothes, and when they got out of the utility room, it was a house that was used to store general supplies. When the three of them got out of the gate, they saw several government soldiers in khaki combat uniforms patrolling back and forth not far away, directing other civilians to carry their belongings.
The trio slowly avoided the sight of government troops, came to a rock behind the house, and found the motorcycle that had been hidden in advance. Qiu Long and Yazi turned along Line 11 to Line 5 and went straight to District 12.
Before leaving, Qiu Long pulled Scar aside and handed over a few words. Scar then turned to Route 8 and prepared to go to District 13 to find someone to contact the hedron.
