Chapter Twenty-Six: The Swarm of Bats
As the words fell, the air fell into an eerie silence.
The master looked at the blood stains on the ground, stared at it for a long time, and finally nodded.
"If we rescue in time, we may be able to save a life, and that is also a merit."
"That's right."
I stood up and covered half of my face with one hand, blocking my view from Jia Furong.
The others did the same, and they all walked towards the cave together, and after taking two steps, they found a large pool of blood not far ahead.
It smells fishy and foul, wafting to our side.
Ah Dong covered his nose directly, his facial features were wrinkled together, and his face was full of disgust.
"This blood is abnormal, isn't it? How long did it take for this man to be dead for this stench? I don't think there's anything to be done. ”
Uncle Ming glared at him, and Ah Dong immediately fell silent.
We continued to walk inside, about ten meters, and finally saw a figure lying on the ground not far ahead.
Face down, life and death uncertain.
Seeing this, I ran forward in three steps and two steps, half-crouched down, turned the man's body over, and then bent my fingers and probed under his nose.
The person is out of gas.
And I also saw that this man was wearing a half-sleeved, and there were corpse spots on the bare skin of his arms, and he was estimated to have been dead for a long time.
Even if I have the ability to reach the sky, I won't endure it, not to mention that I am not the Lord of Hades.
"Master, the death is very complete."
I sighed helplessly, put the body back on the ground, closed his wide eyes, and said a word of rest in my heart.
Soon, the master walked up to my side and stared at the corpse on the ground for a long time, his expression becoming more and more solemn.
Judging by his expression, something must have happened again.
So, I remained silent and waited for the master's next words.
There was a dead silence in the air.
Due to the heavy rain outside, the temperature plummeted, and there was a cool breeze that immediately aroused goosebumps all over my body, and I touched my arm.
It was a long time before the master finally spoke, and at the same time raised his hand and pointed at the corpse on the ground.
"The direction of the corpse is not quite right, and the fact that this man's head is facing the outside proves that he must have encountered some danger inside, and tried to escape, but in the end he died in this cave."
A word wakes up the dreamer.
After hearing this, several of us nodded in agreement.
Ah Dong also suddenly became nervous, "Then do you want to continue to stay in the cave?" It feels so dangerous, what if a ghost rushes out of it? ”
"But it's raining so hard outside, if you go out rashly and there is another landslide, you can't save people if you just wash them away and bury them underground."
The master sighed and said, "Wait in the cave, when the rain is lighter, let's leave." ”
Hearing this, a few of us thought about it seriously.
Anyway, it was the only way at the moment, and there was nothing to object to, so I agreed.
After we had discussed it, we moved the corpse we had just seen inside, and we planned to return to the mouth of the cave.
By this time, Jia Furong had dried her coat and put it back on her body, and walked towards a few of us.
But when she was only two or three meters away, she suddenly stopped, looked at us with a frightened face, and looked into the darkness inside the cave.
"What's that?"
"Huh?"
I turned my head away in a daze, and was shocked by what I saw.
There was a blink of blue-red light in the darkness, and a pair of small round eyes were staring at a few of us, and there was the occasional fluttering sound.
I immediately reacted that this must have been a swarm of bats!
At the same time, I also figured out that the reason why the man fell to the ground with a frightened face just now and didn't blink his eyes was because he met the bat skirt and wanted to run for his life.
But as a result, I was bitten, and I may even be poisoned to death!
Of course, a few other people also saw the bat hanging upside down in the cave!
Jia Furong was timid and hid behind me with a scream. I was so scared that my breathing began to be disordered.
I turned my head to look to the side, "Master, what should I do now?" Looking at the number of eyes, there should be hundreds or thousands of bats, and the number is too large to act rashly! ”
"It's very simple, there are still so many branches in the cave, use the torches."
After saying that, the master turned around and walked to the mouth of the cave, picked up a branch from the ground and lit it, and threw it directly at the bat inside.
Hmmm-
I heard the fluttering of bats' wings, and I saw the guys fly in the air a few times before flying deeper into the cave.
The master's method worked, and of course it was impossible for a few of us to be idle, picking up a branch from the ground next to us, lighting it, and throwing it at the bat inside.
As time went on, and with the joint efforts of several of us, there were fewer and fewer bats hanging above the cave, and they all flew deeper and deeper.
After another ten minutes or so, the bat was finally emptied, and the creepy red eyes were no longer visible.
Ah Dong breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the ground without any image.
"It's not big, but its red eyes are extremely scary, and it has the illusion that it's about to die."
"Relax your mind, don't be so nervous, the bats are gone, you can wait for the rain to stop with peace of mind."
I smiled and patted him on the shoulder, comforting.
The master took a deep look inside the cave, not knowing what he was thinking, and finally returned to me and sat down without saying anything.
Ah Dong was a little scared, and he didn't mention the bat just now.
As for myself, of course, I also thought about what the tunnels deeper in the cave connected to.
Is there a demon hiding in the shallows, or something more terrifying?
But all this is unknown, and I don't have the courage and strength to take risks, so in order to save my life, I choose to stay in the cave.
As the minutes ticked by, the pouring rain outside kept falling.
Gradually, my mind became a little irritable, my brain was groggy, and I fell asleep.
When I regained consciousness, I found myself still sitting in the cave, but I was the only one left, and the others around me didn't know where to go.
"Master, Adong?"
I put my hands to my mouth and made a trumpet shape and shouted as I looked around.
However, I called for a long time, but I still didn't see a single figure, and the silence was terrifying.
But I noticed that the rain outside had stopped.
Could it be that they went out looking for something?
With this in mind, I walked out of the cave to find a few other people.
As I walked, I found myself in a forest, and it was impossible to find my way back to the cave.
"It's over, I've lost myself."
I sighed in frustration and grabbed my hair in frustration.
But at this juncture, an ethereal voice was heard in mid-air.
