Chapter 62 Wu Xie’s encounter ([-])
062 Chapter 62 Wu Xie’s experience ([-])

Wu Xie became nervous immediately. Now he was on a bronze tree more than ten meters high. The space for movement was limited and he couldn't make big movements. If something really came up, the situation would not be good.

Lao Itch winked at Wu Xie, indicating whether to strike first.Wu Xie hurriedly waved his hands, indicating not to act rashly.

Wu Xie thought to himself, if it was Uncle Tai's group who came up here, they would fight if they could not protect themselves. Bullets don't have eyes. At such a close distance, both sides might be injured.What if it was something in the tomb... Suddenly, an idea came to my mind. I tied a torch to a branch, and then hid in the darkness where the torch could not shine. I observed first. I must not be impulsive.

No matter who is coming below, they can only see the light of this torch, which can turn the situation around and turn the enemy into an enemy.

The three people each held their breath, made earpieces with their hands, and stuck them against the copper wall. They felt the sound waves and listened. It was an extremely slight vibrating sound, coming from far to near at a fast and chaotic frequency. It seems that many people are scratching the lines on this copper tree with their fingernails.

The more Wu Xie heard this, the colder he felt. I'm afraid these are not two people... Could it be that something from the tomb is coming?He quickly started to be on guard and raised the racket with his right hand.Lao Itch, who was standing on top, also loaded the bullet and stared down.

I saw that the newcomers moved very quickly and arrived under them without any hesitation. They were still some distance away from the torch, and they could already vaguely see a few vague shadows, which looked like people, but they didn't seem to be. Wu Xie was so I was nervous and scared at times, and my palms were sweating.

Suddenly Lao Itch's face became extremely frightened and he shouted: "Holy shit! Go up, go up! Go up!" Before he finished speaking, Master Liang seemed to have seen something, and he screamed in fright, and the two of them started As if he had seen a ghost, he climbed up slowly.

Wu Xie never saw clearly what was coming. Although he was scared, he still looked down stupidly. He saw something moving in the darkness, but he couldn't see clearly.

When Lao Itch saw that Wu Xie hadn't moved, he hurriedly shouted: "Lao Wu, what the hell are you doing just standing there, run away!"

Only then did Wu Xie come back to his senses. He found that Lao Itch's face was extremely pale. He couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart and shuddered. He thought to himself, who cares? He quickly pulled out the torch, gritted his teeth and followed. .

Wu Xie was so nervous that his scalp was numb and his whole body felt cold. The more he climbed, the colder he got, and the colder he climbed, the faster he climbed. The most terrible thing was that he had no idea why he was climbing up like crazy.

I didn’t know how long I had been crawling when I saw Master Liang in front of me suddenly stopped.Wu Xie hurriedly took a few steps to crawl next to him and saw that Master Liang had lost the remaining half of his life. His face was bloodless and he was sweating like rain. He looked like he was reaching his limit.

At this moment, Wu Xie could no longer stop climbing. Seeing that he was still going up, Master Liang hugged his legs pitifully and said to him: "Little...little brother...wait...wait a moment ! Don’t leave me behind, I... I will just rest for a moment, just for a moment, and I will crawl with you!"

As soon as Wu Xie stopped, his muscles gave out, and his legs began to weaken. Along the way, he had been swimming, climbing cliffs, and now he was climbing all the way. He had already reached his limit, and his legs were completely weak. When I obey the command, it keeps vibrating as if the small electric motor is turned on, and it can no longer be used.

I thought to myself that since there was going to be a big fight sooner or later, I simply gritted my teeth and said with a heartbeat: "What the hell are you still crawling! I can't crawl anymore, no matter what he is, just fight with him!" He said smoothly. He handed the torch to Master Liang and at the same time swung the racket and pointed it downwards.He looked up and said, "Huh? Where's Lao Chu? Was he above or below us just now?"

Master Liang didn't even have the strength to speak, so he waved his hand and pointed downwards.

When he lowered his head, Lao Chu didn't see anything. He only saw a man lying on the bronze tree like a monkey in the darkness below, looking at them expressionlessly.

This man's face was one and a half times the size of an ordinary person's, and his facial features were as if they were carved out of stone, making him unattractive.When Master Liang put the torch down, it suddenly shrank back, as if it was taboo to get close to the flames.However, at the same time, there was an expression on its face that looked like a smile but not a smile, which was extremely weird.

When Wu Xie saw this face, he was trembling in his heart. At this time, Master Liang was frightened out of his wits. He yelled and fled upwards with a torch.Wu Xie said "Oh" and it was too late to stop him. He looked back and looked down, thinking to himself, Oh my God, that weird giant face was already up there, almost at his feet. That face The face was grinning ferociously at his feet.

Wu Xie waved his hand like a reflex and fired a shot. Hearing a loud "bang" sound, the racquet spit out a tongue of fire, hitting the giant face in the middle, blasting the entire giant face to pieces. He leaned back and fell into the darkness. inside.

Immediately afterwards, two big pale faces suddenly popped out from where the giant face fell. He hurriedly wanted to shoot again, but he pulled the trigger twice, but there was no response. Wu Xie was shocked, and then he remembered. The racket can only hold two rounds of bullets. After shooting, you must manually unload and reload before you can continue to use it. He quickly opened the chamber and as soon as he opened it, he felt a claw on his shoulder. When he turned around, a The giant face leaned close to his nose, and at some point, one of them had already circled behind him. Whoever it was, Mou used enough force to hit it with his head.

Unexpectedly, this strange face was as hard as a stone, and it made my head buzz. I almost fell off the tree. At this time, I heard Lao Itch yelling: "Get away!!" At the same time, there was a "bang" gunshot, A ray of fire roared past, hitting the copper tree next to his head, and sparks flew everywhere.

Wu Xie was almost blinded by the shock of this shot, and he hurriedly stepped aside, leaving a bloody mark on his face from the airflow of the bullet.

Lao Itch continued to shoot below, but unfortunately none of the shots hit the target. The bullets hit the tung tree and flew everywhere. The bullets flashed in front of his eyes. Wu Xie dodged left and right, cursing in his heart, damn today, If you don't die in the hands of a monster, you might die in his hands.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Wu Xie hurriedly changed the bullets for the racket, loaded it, aimed at the nearest strange face, and shot it, sending it flying out and falling down the copper tree.

Wu Xie immediately lowered his head to look at Lao Chu, only to find more monsters poking their heads out of the darkness. More than a dozen giant faces moved almost at the same time, as if they were very interested in Wu Xie, and surrounded him like ghosts.

In the blink of an eye, one had grabbed Wu Xie's foot and pulled it down hard, and the other lay directly on his neck. Knowing that there would be no chance to change bullets, he used the gun as a hammer in desperation and aimed at The monster's face was slapped hard, but the monster just leaned back and immediately leaned over again. He thought to himself, it seemed that they had underestimated their strength. At this moment, Wu Xie suddenly noticed the giant face. With a "click", the strange face was hit hard by him, and a crack appeared. Through the crack, the dry and wrinkled skin inside could be seen.

At this moment, the monster holding his ankle suddenly exerted force and picked him up, then staggered.This monster was extremely powerful. With my small body, I couldn't fight him head-on. I had no choice but to follow its force and jump down. I grabbed the nearby bronze branch with one hand and pressed it against the monster's throat with the other hand. The gun blew its head off with a "bang".

The recoil of the gun almost threw Wu Xie off the branch, and he had no choice but to hold on to the branch. The headless body was lifted off the bronze tree by the momentum of the gun, but his hand was still holding Wu Xie's feet, and the whole body was The body hung at his feet, pulling him straight down.

Wu Xie couldn't bear the weight of two people with one hand, so he thought about finding a nearby branch to stand on, and then find a way to get rid of the corpse. Unexpectedly, the monster with the split face suddenly hung upside down. A claw caught his neck, and he was lifted up. This time, Wu Xie's neck was locked so tightly that he couldn't breathe, and his face turned red. In desperation, he picked up the racket and lifted it up. , using all his strength, Mou smashed it on the head with all his strength.

After a few blows, the monster was knocked unconscious. These random blows happened to hit the crack on the monster's face. It screamed in pain, suddenly released its claws, and jumped onto the branch above Wu Xie's head, going crazy. He grabbed his face.

The moment the monster bounced up, Wu Xie instantly lost his support, and all the weight returned to that one hand. He suddenly lost his hand and fell straight down for more than a meter. Wu Xie quickly hugged a protruding bronze branch and held his body Stop.

When he looked up, the monster's face suddenly shattered and began to fall off like milk skin. Wu Xie stretched out his hand to catch a piece and saw that it was made of stone. Looking up again, this stone face Behind him was a face covered with yellow hair.He suddenly realized and shouted: "Old Itchy! These things are monkeys, big monkeys!"

Lao Itch replied from below: "Monkey belongs to your grandfather! There is no monkey with a human face, then it cannot become a spirit!"

Wu Xie hurriedly shouted: "That's not a human face! That's a mask! These monkeys are wearing stone human face masks!"

After a while, Lao Itch climbed up from the darkness below, and the monkey tore his clothes off piece by piece. He shouted at Wu Xie, "Never mind what it is! What about the monkey, can you beat it?" "Wu Xie was confused, wondering how many more masked monkeys were chasing him.I hurriedly climbed up a few steps and checked the bullets. There were only a few blue ones left, which were large steel ball bullets. These bullets have good long-range power, but they are not as good as iron sand bullets like artillery.

At this time, the monkey behind him had already followed. Wu Xie quickly held the gun with both hands and fired twice.

The steel ball bullets were dispersed, and although their power was reduced a lot, the large-scale killing effect still beat the nearest monkeys to bloody pulps, and many in the distance were also hit.The effect is pretty good, I thought if I could fire five shots in a row, it wouldn't be a problem to kill them all.

The monkeys seemed to be frightened by the power of the racquet, and they all slowed down their pace, wary of them, and took the opportunity to quickly turn around and catch up with Master Liang.

When the monkey whose mask was broken saw them, he bared his teeth at them in fear, turned around and ran away.

Lao Itch took a look and said, "Damn, this is really a monkey. What's going on?"

Wu Xie didn't know, so he shook his head, climbed up another ten meters, and caught up with Master Liang. He was already lying there, panting, and looking a little dazed. His whole body was propped up among the thick branches, and the torch fell. Halfway down his body, it was stuck between three branches.

Lao Itch went over and picked up the torch. In this round of fighting, there was not a single bullet left in the pistol. He wanted to throw the gun away, but he couldn't bear it, so he inserted it back into his belt and raised the torch to intimidate the monkeys. The torch swept across them. They all shrank back, but as soon as the torches were moved away, they quickly pressed forward again, not giving them any chance to breathe.

After a while, the monkey circle became smaller and smaller. Wu Xie hurriedly pulled Master Liang, but he was as limp and unresponsive as a puddle of mud. Lao Itch shouted: "Leave him alone, I can't stand it." Stop, get out!"

Wu Xie was also holding back his anger, and he really had the urge to kick him down, but this man was not a vicious person, so he really couldn't do it, so he had to lift him up. He wanted to pull him up, but his Instead, my butt fell from between two branches, causing trouble.

Lao Itch used a torch to scare away a monkey and cursed at him: "Are you sick? Are you still giving preferential treatment to prisoners? If everything goes well, he might have killed you!" "

Wu Xie loaded another bullet, followed by two loud noises, knocking five monkeys away. The monkeys were temporarily forced back by nearly five or six meters, and then they snatched and replaced the last two bullets. It was like breaking a jar and smashing it. He felt that he should just give it up, but suddenly Master Liang grabbed his hand and weakly said to him: "These things are afraid of fire, flares..."

When Wu Xie heard this, he thought it was right.Lao Itch reacted quickly. He had already taken out the flare gun, took a look at it and asked me: "How...how do I hit this? It's useless to hit it directly!"

Wu Xie grabbed the signal gun and fired it at the opposite rock wall. The signal bomb hit the rock dozens of meters away like lightning, and then bounced back and hit the bronze tree. It bounced like this two or three times like lightning, and suddenly the monkey The crowd exploded, and the extremely high temperature suddenly caused the monkeys to run around.Before the first shot went out, two more shots were fired, and suddenly the entire space lit up with a dazzling white light.

Wu Xie shouted: "Don't look! The distance is too close, it will burn out the retina! Close your eyes quickly." Although he closed his eyes, the strong light still penetrated his eyelids, and the monkeys went crazy under the strong light. They were running around, and soon a smell of burnt flesh filled the air.

After an unknown amount of time, the strong light dimmed.Wu Xie squinted his eyes and looked down. The monkey was gone. His eyes were burning so much that he could see things in a blur. Lao Itch burst into tears and rubbed them with his hands. Master Liang completely fainted this time and was about to If Wu Xie hadn't been holding his collar, he would have fallen down long ago.

At this time, he breathed a sigh of relief, patted Master Liang awake, grabbed his arm, and lifted his body upright. He wanted to drag him up, but unexpectedly he was too limp, so he could only straighten him up and stay there. in situ.

Lao Itch squinted his eyes and cursed: "You fucking didn't tell me before you did something. If you blind me, I will fight with you."

Wu Xie scolded angrily: "Damn it, you still have the nerve to say, I saved your life, you know? Besides, aren't you blind?"

Lao Itch looked down: "But this trick really works."

Wu Xie said: "I guess they just retreated temporarily, and they might come up again later, but since this trick works, we are not afraid anymore. We still have a few flares, enough to deal with it a few times. This monkey wears The mask is of fine workmanship and realistic carving, and may have something to do with the realistic statue we saw on the cliff. But why did they attack us?" Wu Xie sighed and said, "Forget it, let's not think about it for now. Get some rest now.”

Just when Wu Xie was about to fall asleep, a series of crashing sounds suddenly came from above. The entire bronze tree shook violently with the impact.

He started to panic again and muttered: "Did he come down from above?" Suddenly a black shadow fell like lightning and slammed into three branches, and a smelly liquid splashed on his face.

Everyone calmed down, and Lao Itchi held up a high torch to wave them over to take a look.When I got closer, I saw a person stuck between the bronze branches. His body was twisted unnaturally, his eyes were wide open, his face was covered with blood, and his ribs were broken out. Lao Itch reached out and shined the torch on him. On his face, he suddenly shouted: "Fuck, it's that Uncle Tai. No wonder I haven't seen them, they are actually in front of us."

Master Liang trembled and leaned over, looked up, sighed, and said: "This is a fall from a high altitude. The internal organs were probably broken when I fell all the way. How could you fall down so carelessly? Two young men Brother, it looks like it’s not very high up here. Look at Uncle Tai, all the long bones are broken. It’s not like this for a hundred meters.”

Wu Xie said: "We just climbed up to about 60 meters in this crazy climb. We are already exhausted. If it is really so high up here, even if we climb to the top, we will probably have no strength at all." Maybe it will break into eighteen pieces like Uncle Tai."

But Lao Itch patted Wu Xie: "It's only a few hundred meters away. Run sideways and it'll be over in a few seconds. Now it's just standing up. There's nothing to worry about."

Wu Xie scolded: "Damn it, grandpa. According to what you say, Mount Everest is only 840 meters tall. It only took you half an hour to ride a bicycle up there. We are not fighting against friction now, but fighting against it." Gravity!”

Lao Itch waved his hand to him and said: "I can't defeat you." After saying that, he went to unpack Uncle Tai's backpack, took it out and took a look. He was overjoyed. He found pistol bullets, a few detonators, a flare gun, and a rope. The happiest thing. I found a flashlight.When Wu Xie saw the flashlight, he was so happy that he almost wanted to rush up and kiss him.

Lao Itchy changed the magazine, sorted it out, and put it on his back. He said to them: "We can't stay here for a long time. Let's take a rest. We have to go up soon. Let's just treat it as mountain climbing and sightseeing."

Master Liang smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Itch... you have to walk up the mountain for sightseeing, just use your feet. Now we are going straight up and down. How can we talk about it together? What scenery is there to see here?"

Lao Itch kicked the bronze tree body on one side and said, "I'm just trying to make a fucking metaphor. Why are you trying to make a point?"

Wu Xie said to him: "Don't worry, don't miss these few minutes, rest for a while, and then leave again." Then he glanced at Uncle Tai, his facial features were distorted, his eyes were bulging out of his sockets, it was really It was a little scary, so he frowned and said, "Let's put him down first."

Following Wu Xie and Lao Chi, they carefully tried to lift Uncle Tai's body from the branch.Uncle Tai's body was extremely soft, as if all the bones were broken. With a movement, a large amount of blood gushes out from his broken body, flowing along the branches into the lines on the bronze tree, and then along the lines. The ravine in the middle flows downward.

Master Liang suddenly remembered something and said: "Stop, stop, stop, two little brothers, I probably know what this bronze tree is for!"
