Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 279
Xiao Ran and Hu Ba took a look at the situation in the small camp, and couldn't help scolding their mother like a fat man.Their earthen stove is still burning, but the cans on it are basically overturned, and there are traces of being dragged in the backpack, especially the backpack containing food. Those cans in metal boxes are scattered all over the place, and they can be eaten directly. Sweet potatoes, corn and jerky lost a lot.

The fat man checked the things cursingly, and found that apart from the food, there was no loss of important tools and supplies.His first reaction was: "Could it be that blind man? He jumped into the river before, lost his way, wandered around in the woods, and now he was seduced by our scent?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, he slapped himself on the mouth.What Xu Er said happened before going to Jingjue Ancient City.They later saw the blind man outside the ancient city and in Zhaojing, so it couldn't be him.

Hu Bayi didn't even bother to refute him, but carefully checked the traces around the camp, then raised his head and said seriously: "Our guest, or this group of guests, may not be human."

"Zongzi?!" Fatty shouted.

Hu Ba called Fatty and Xiao Ran to him, and pointed to the edge of the woodland, where there were a few footprints that were similar in size to human feet, but the thumb was born from the side, which looked more deformed hand.

These footprints are also slightly different in size, fat and thin, so Hu Bayi concluded that these "guests" are not human, and there are more than one.

The fat man glanced at the footprints and said, "This... is this a monkey?"

"I don't know, and Xu Er's whereabouts are also missing now. I don't know if it has something to do with these things..." Hu Bayi said.

Xiao Ran suddenly felt a sudden tightening in his heart. After getting along recently, he liked this young man from the bottom of his heart, and before leaving, he specially assured his mother of his safety.If Xu Er was really harmed by wild beasts right under his nose, how would he face Xu Er's family?
Not only Xiao Ran, Hu Bayi also frowned at this time, it was he who sent Xu Er into the forest just now.If Xu Er was really killed, he would be the primary person responsible for the investigation.

Fatty didn't think much about Xu Er at this time, he put his hand in front of his forehead, and looked at the pine tree, trying to find those uninvited guests.But after watching for a long time, there was no sign of any animal at all, not even a sparrow.

"Strange……"

Hearing the fat man talking to himself, Hu Bayi answered, "It's really strange, it shouldn't be so quiet. It's impossible that there aren't even a single bird in such a large forest."

The fat man shook his head, pointed to the tree and said, "No, no, I'm just weird... Look, is there a big mushroom growing on that tree?"

The two looked at the fat man's fingers, and saw that there was indeed a taupe round bump under the dense pine needles. Although the color was slightly similar to the bark, it definitely should not be something growing on a pine tree.

"Fatty, you are really..."

Hu Bayi originally looked impatient, as if he wanted to say that the fat man missed the point.But he suddenly thought of something, raised his shotgun and pulled the trigger at the big mushroom.

With a "bang", the shotgun bullet exploded on the big mushroom, and a pile of red and green minced meat mixed with blood splashed everywhere.With a shrill scream, something dusty fell from the tree.

"You are really observant! Let's take a look at what it is."

With a gun behind his back, Hu Ba led Xiao Ran and Fatty towards the dusty thing.

When they got close, looking at the things that had been shot down, the three of them had question marks all over their faces.That thing should look like an ape, at least it used to be.It is about 1.5 meters in length, covered with gray-brown long hairs, covered with moss, and exudes the unique smell of animals.The face is long and flat, and at first glance it looks somewhat similar to a human, except that a mushroom-shaped thing grows on the back of the neck, and the thin wires connect the flesh under the hair, covering the entire upper back and the top of the head. The eyes are occupied by those filaments.

This thing didn't seem to be dead yet, lying on the ground and twitching constantly, the mushroom on its back was blasted with a big hole by a shotgun bullet, red and green viscous liquid flowed out from the scorched wound, and the smell of rotten moss also came from it emanating from the wound.

"What the hell is this..."

Seeing that the joints of the vines were like blood vessels, the fat man touched it with the engineering shovel with a look of disgust, but this strange ape-like animal let out another scream of misery.

The silk tendrils at the joints of the mushrooms gradually dried up, as if the blood vessels had been drained.With this kind of shriveling, the big mushroom fell off from the great ape with the silk tendrils at the joint. The joints of the great ape's body that were originally connected to the mushroom either turned into flesh and blood without fur, or there were small holes that made the three of them feel sick. I got goosebumps.

The big mushrooms also shriveled and shriveled like a leaky balloon.At the same time, the great ape let out its last breath.

"Whatever it is, it's definitely not a good thing."

Hu Bayi carefully pried open the big ape's mouth with an engineering shovel. There were no teeth in the mouth, but layers of sharp flesh spines, with a lot of canned residue hanging in the middle.And the hands and feet of the great ape also had sharp, knife-like nails.

"Old Hu, this thing looks weird enough, it looks like it's the one that caused all our troubles. But this man with sharp teeth and sharp mouth and long nails is definitely not the one who eats fruits and vegetables..."

Hu Bayian said solemnly: "If Xu Er encountered these things, I'm afraid there will be more disasters..."

Hearing what Hu Bayi said, Xiao Ran couldn't help but clenched the knife in his hand. The scene of Xu Er being bitten to death already appeared in his heart, and secretly decided that even if it was a corpse, he would find Xu Er and bring him back...

Suddenly a drop of liquid dripped from above and landed on his shoulder.Before he had time to raise his head, Hu Bayi suddenly raised his gun and shouted, "Brother Xiao, be careful!"

At the same time, the fat man rushed over like a tank, hugged his waist and threw him to the ground.

The moment Xiao Ran fell down, he saw that where he was standing before, a big ape with a big mushroom growing on its back was hanging down from the tree, and the inner wall of the mouth covered with thorns was turned out from the protruding lips. Facing where Xiao Ran's head was before.

With a "bang" gunshot, Hu Bayi's bullet hit the great ape's shoulder, and a large pile of flesh and blood shot to pieces, the great ape also fell from the tree.

"Brother Xiao, are you alright?" the fat man asked anxiously.

Xiao Ran was so oppressed by the fat man that he could barely breathe, pointed at his waist, and said with trembling lips: "Waist...waist..."

"Old Hu hit you in the waist?!"

The fat man got up, and pulled up Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran's waist was already twisted, but suddenly he stood up like this, and felt that his waist was about to break.

But when he looked at Hu Bayi who was changing bullets, his eyes widened instantly, and the knife in his hand swung in Hu Bayi's direction without hesitation.
