Chapter 14 The one holding my waist is a man

Hang Si was alert and stopped immediately, chasing after him with the light beam in his hand.

I couldn't catch the figure, I could only see the surrounding vegetation swaying.The foliage is lush here, let alone the sky is not yet clear, even if it is sunny outside, it will be gloomy when entering Death Valley.

Hang Si took photos of the surrounding area with a flashlight, and for some reason always felt like something was staring at her, but he looked at everything that should be seen, and found nothing suspicious.

So she squatted down slowly, and gently pressed one hand on the ground.There is a large piece of grass in the forest, and it is also an oasis on the wilderness. There is little water and rain, so it is dry under the palm.

Hang Si stretched his eyes forward along the beam of light, looked at it, got up and walked forward for a few steps, squatted down again, and probed the ground with his hands, and repeated like this.Sometimes there are many trails, she will squat down and touch the ground for a while, and then move on.

In this way, until a cave appeared in front of him.

The entrance of the cave is covered with green vines, and the dense tangle of roots almost blocks the entrance of the cave.

It is indeed "almost". The entrance of the cave is not small, but the dense ivy is only concentrated in the upper half, and there is a large area below that is not entangled with ivy.

Hang Si stepped lightly and even turned off the flashlight.He squatted down cautiously and touched the ground, then got up and approached the cave step by step, taking every step very cautiously.

When she reached the entrance of the cave, she didn't go in directly, but leaned against the mountain wall with her back.The closer you get to the cave, the sparser the trees above your head, so with the weak natural light, Hang Si calmly looked at the situation at the entrance of the cave.

After estimating the area of ​​the cave entrance that is not entangled by ivy, my heart is mostly cold.Just now, because of the tree shadow blocking the line of sight, I could only take a rough look, but now that I got closer, I realized that the vacant part is really not small.

The larger the part without vines, the larger the thing staying in the cave.

Hang Si almost held his breath, and pressed his palm to the mountain wall.

Yes, the things inside are really not small.

She couldn't figure out what was in the cave, but what she was sure of was that she would definitely suffer if she fought hand-to-hand.

Hang Si tiptoedly took off the bag, took out a whistle-like object from the compartment, and at the same time pulled out the dagger stuck in his waist, making all preparations.

With her back against the mountain wall, she clenched the dagger tightly, took a deep breath and let it out quickly, and pressed the whistle to her lips.Blowing hard, the thing actually made a faint sound.

It's not a whistle, the sound is not so sharp and crisp, but with the elongation of the sound, the faint sound stimulates the eardrum like a knife.

Soon there was a hissing sound coming from the cave, the hissing sound was like a sharp whistle, followed by a thumping sound from inside, as if he was greatly frightened.

Hang Si put the whistle to his lips and blew again, then hurriedly put it away.

The things in the cave burst out.

Hang Si dodged as close to the mountain wall as possible, using the darkness as a cover to hide himself.The thing roared when it came out, it was a huge monster, it ran on four legs, and its hooves were so strong that Hang Si felt that the ground was shaking just because he was hiding there.

With the help of the light, Hang Si narrowed his eyes slightly, what exactly is it?

Like a horse is not a horse, the fat and strong one is far bigger than the horse, and the body is black and dark, and a white patch can be vaguely seen, but it is not obvious.When it turned its face slightly, Hang Si could see it clearly. It had such a long face that the eyes could not be seen!

The face is very frightening.

Hang Si's heart skipped a beat. To tell the truth, she really doesn't like things that are ridiculously ugly, all creatures.

The thing didn't run wild immediately after it got out of the cave, but looked around restlessly, with an outrageously long face dangling around, as if looking for the source of the sound just now.

When that face suddenly turned to Hang Si's direction, she felt her scalp tighten.A heart almost reached her throat, and at the same time, she clenched the dagger tightly. If the thing really wanted to rush over, she could only fight with all her strength.

In fact, the confrontation time is not long, at most 1 minute, but this 1 minute is as long as a century in Hang Siran's opinion.Because the thing's face was too long, and the outline of the facial features could not be seen clearly, it looked like a faceless monster.

Suddenly, she remembered what the innkeeper had told her before she arrived, that there were scary things in Death Valley, the kind that could scare people to death.

But what exactly, no one knows.

Soon the thing ran away, as if searching for a sound deep in the forest.

Hang Si didn't relax his vigilance, and after a while he slowly squatted down and reached out to touch the ground.After a while, she breathed a sigh of relief, and her legs softened and she sat on the ground.

She didn't go after it, and that thing wasn't what she came for this time.

After a while, Hang Si stood up with one hand supporting the mountain wall, saying that she was not afraid was a lie, and now she felt that the tip of her tongue was still trembling.

Picking up a rock and throwing it into the cave, she made sure there was nothing dangerous in the cave before she went in.

The dagger was always in her hand, and she changed to a professional caving headlight for convenience.As soon as the light beam was shot out, the scene in front of him was impressively clear.

The cave is not big, but it is full of corpses.

Hang Si accidentally kicked something and hit Gu Lu on the ground. When she looked down, her scalp was numb again.

A small piece of skull, of unknown animal.

If you look carefully, there should be animal bones here, large and small.The smell is very bad, rancid and bloody.

Hang Si stretched out a face towel from his bag to cover his nose, but it didn't do much.She stood among the bones for a while and carefully observed the surroundings of the cave with her headlamp, and gradually she discovered the clues.

Around the cave, even on the ground and between the bones, there are some shiny things. It was because the headlights were too bright that I didn't notice it at the first time.

Hang Si approached and took a closer look. They were blooming flowers. The buds were not big, and the biggest one was no bigger than the nail of a little finger.The whole body is almost transparent white, and those glittering dots are the light emitted by the petals themselves.

Xu's vision got used to it, and he raised his eyes to see that the cave was full of them.In order to confirm, Hang Si raised his hand to turn off the headlights. This time, she didn't need to take time to adapt to her sight, and she saw countless lights.

Not dazzling, just a very soft spot of light, not enough to illuminate anything, but as dense as a sky full of stars.

Hang Si was amazed, and then turned on the headlights again.Walking to the mountain wall, he cut his little finger with a dagger.She grinned, and it hurt.

The little finger was bleeding, and she dripped the blood on the stamen closest to her, so she watched the petal turn red instantly, not just a single flower bud, but all the flower buds on the same root as it turned red .

The red is dazzling, and the petals are like the light from red gemstones.

Hang Si laughed, ignoring the pain in his fingers, he casually tore off the band-aid and wrapped it around, planning to dig out the flowers.

But as soon as her fingers touched the mountain wall, she felt something was wrong.

Before he had time to react, someone grabbed his waist violently, and he dodged to the side forcefully.

Everything happened so fast, Hang Si's only reaction was: The one hugging my waist is a man!
As soon as this thought came up, struggle followed, and a low voice came from above his head, "Shh, don't make a sound."
