Yin Yang Tomb Raider

Chapter 457 Hairy Monster, Spring Water
I was quick-eyed and reached out to touch Lao Jiu's arm, but before I could hold on tightly, Lao Jiu's body slid down and disappeared from our eyes in an instant. Meng Luo screamed in fright, and after waiting for a while, he didn't hear anything entering the water The voice of Lao Jiu came from under his feet: "Hey, come here!"

Meng Luo and I went up and down to look, and Lao Jiu was holding a vine tightly against the side. The vine was clinging to the mud wall and looked very resilient. A layer had already emerged from my back. Fine beads of sweat, seeing that Lao Jiu is fine, Meng Luo and I let out a long breath at the same time, Lao Jiu scolded: "What the hell are you doing, why don't you pull me up?"

We hurriedly pulled Lao Jiu up. Lao Jiu kept holding on to the vine tightly until his body completely fell to the ground, and then let go. The vine was extremely elastic. As soon as Lao Jiu let go, it bounced with a "wow" Returning to the original place, Lao Jiu's forehead was covered with sweat: "Ge Laozi, I'm so scared to death, I don't know where that thing came from."

"Hey, what is this?" Meng Luo took a hair from Lao Jiu's trouser leg. The hair was about as long as a middle finger, the hair was gray, the head was white, and the hair was a little hard. "It doesn't look like hair. Is it the hair of the little thing that popped out just now?"

A gust of wind blew over, and the hair in Mengluo's hands fluttered to nowhere. Mengluo searched everywhere, and where he could find it, Lao Jiu said: "We have to be careful, if we run out again and trip us, it's probably not as good as the one just now." Luckily."

This guy is nothing more than saying that he has a good character. Monroe and I may not have such a good character. When we walked forward, as expected, those little things ran out from inexplicable directions from time to time. Some ran past our feet, and some ran over and bumped into our shoulders before disappearing. Several times I reached out to grab their tails, and I caught them in my palm. When I was secretly happy, they disappeared. In the end, We didn't even see what they looked like!

We walked tremblingly to the depths of the jungle. It was midsummer, green everywhere, and the deep stream behind us was left behind. Those little things never ran out again. We picked up those gray and white hairs along the way. Long and short, the same color distribution, we stopped to take a breath, the mobile phone rang, the information verified by Tao Ran arrived, the forest guard had no problem, and the file was also sent, although the photos in the file were old photos, obviously younger, But the facial features basically haven't changed much, it's the same person, and the person at the entrance has no problem, Lao Jiu said: "This way, I can breathe a sigh of relief for a while."

Munro carefully took out his mobile phone: "I took another photo just now..."

Lao Jiu and I stared at him fiercely, and he said: "Because the eyes can't see clearly, we used continuous shooting. Let's see what happened to the little thing just now?"

There are a few fuzzy shadows in the phone, which seem to be the size of a cat, like a newborn baby. Their tails are erected high, like hair, with gray roots, and the tip of the tail is snow-white. It's blurry, but I can roughly see it clearly, "Is it a cat?" Lao Jiu said: "No, look at the paws. When flying in the air, the front ends of the four paws are sharp parts. They are so long that the front paws of the cat's paws are not So sharp."

"More than that, look at the belly." I said: "Could it be that these are female cats, all of them are pregnant, and their bellies are round and round, as if there are heavy objects in their stomachs, and the heavy objects fall to cause this effect."

Lao Jiu closed his eyes, took a sip of water, and looked back: "We have only reached the foot of the first mountain now, let's hurry up when we have almost rested."

Meng Luo and I hurriedly drank water and ate something. Although the road is not far, the road is narrow, and there are deep ravines on both sides, so if you are unstable, you will fall into the ravine. It took a lot of physical and mental energy along the way, and because I didn't have such a large amount of exercise for a long time, I was a little tired for a while. Lao Jiu stood up first and walked forward. Looking at the mountain in front, he said: "There is no mountain road, we have to climb it with bare hands." In the past, brat, can you do it?"

Old Ninth is not worried about me, he is the first to worry about Meng Luo, who is weak and his physical fitness has always been his disadvantage, Meng Luo gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, we have professional equipment for mountaineering."

Lao Jiu and I looked at each other, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh. This kid doesn't think he can climb such a high mountain with tools, does he?Sure enough, we only climbed one-third of this side. When Mengluo exhaled like a cow snoring, Lao Jiu and I were on the left and the other on the right, and we worked together to help Mengluo reach the top of the mountain. On the top of the mountain, Meng Luo didn't care to take off the lifter on his waist, and immediately lay down: "I'm going to die, I'm going to die of exhaustion..."

I check the time, it is nine o'clock in the morning, and it took us four full hours to reach the top of the mountain. Can we reach the cliff before dark today?Lao Jiu and I also lay down to rest, the sun above our head was moving slowly, I stood up abruptly, looked ahead, there was something shining in front of me, Lao Jiu stood beside me, and said in a deep voice: " That is the top of the waterfall, and the water also has the effect of reflecting light, so the sunlight just hits there, why, did you think of the place where the ice has been frozen for thousands of years?"

I was thinking about it, and I missed Hai Dongqing who was taken away by the vulture even more. I said, "It doesn't look far away, but it will take at least a whole day to climb over two mountains. Can we get there before dark?"

Lao Jiu slapped me on the chest: "For my happiness, brother, please don't hold back, I'm serious."

Munro struggled to get up from the ground, and said weakly: "Going down the mountain will be faster, isn't it?"

Yes, going down the mountain will be faster because we have lifts, but there are a lot of trees on the mountains in this area, and these trees hinder our process of going down the mountain. It would be much easier to go down the mountain if it were a simple cliff. When we reached the foot of the mountain, there were still a lot of wounds all over our body, and there were a few bloodstains on everyone's face. After Mengluo got down, he squatted aside to take care of himself. It was noon, and a lot of exercise had consumed too much water in his body. , Meng Luo showed signs of dehydration. Fortunately, Lao Jiu was prepared and took out a bag of normal saline into Meng Luo's arms: "Replenish it first, and have a good rest."

Meng Luo couldn't wait to drink the salt water, and my spirit was a little refreshed. When I looked forward, I suddenly saw a pile of ashes: "Old Jiu, take a look."

Lao Jiu looked forward, his face darkened: "It wasn't Xu Qiqi and the others who did it."

"But the only ones who came in before us were Seventh Sister and Boss Huang." I said, "There must be one of them, right?"

Lao Jiu snorted and walked directly to the pile of ashes: "I'm afraid it wasn't them. If it was Xu Qiqi, they wouldn't leave ashes behind and would definitely bury them. If it was Boss Huang and the others, they came here a week ago. Has it rained during this time? The ashes can’t be in this state, the ashes are still fluffy, just like the last two days.”

"When did you pay attention to the previous weather?" I was a little surprised.

"Don't forget what I do. It's the tradition of the Blue Tiger Club to check the weather conditions before and after arriving at a place," Lao Jiu said, "Besides us, there are people who have come in these two days."

"But..." After drinking a whole pack of normal saline, Meng Luo hiccupped and said, "See why the old man Lin didn't mention it?"

"There are two possibilities. One is that the old man concealed it, but it is unlikely. The stranger who came in is very eye-catching, and the old man is also very vigilant. There is no reason to hide it for the stranger, unless you use money to make him shut up, but, I still think this is unlikely, and there is another possibility, these people did not go to the old man, deliberately bypassed and came in directly, the target is unknown." Lao Jiu said: "But look at the side of these ashes, these are not The burned firewood is evenly distributed, indicating that the other party is very good at living in the wild, with good skills and experience."

As expected of Old Nine, I looked around and tried to find more clues. Old Nine said, "Generally, camping places will be in places with water sources. I'll go and have a look. You stay and take care of Mengluo."

Mengluo looked at me pitifully, but I had no way to leave him behind, "Mengluo, Mengluo, you should exercise more at ordinary times, okay?" I squatted down and looked at him who was dripping with sweat: "When you run for your life With this physique, you must be the one who died."

"Understood, I will enroll in the individual fitness training class after I go back." Meng Luo said helplessly: "By the way, Lin Tianyi, have we made any money from the business with Du Qiu?"

"Of course I made money. I have received all the previous expenses, and I also helped Lao Jiu determine the whereabouts of his parents. Although the result is not good, at least we have a conclusion." I said: "Jiuluotian's first order is very meaningful. If there is a chance, I will take a second order in the future, the most urgent thing is to find Seventh Sister, what sin did Lao Jiu do in her previous life, and she is so rough now."

"I didn't do anything wrong in my previous life. It's my fault." Lao Jiu just came back and said angrily, "You two are chewing your tongue like old women. Are you tired? Let's get down to business. There is a spring in front of you. It's really close to the water source. I found this by the spring, take a look."

Lao Jiu held a bottle of mineral water without a cap. It seemed that he used the bottle to fetch water from the spring, but for some reason he put the bottle back where it was. This is a common mineral water brand in the north, Lao Jiu said. : "The master is a beautiful woman."

"How do you know?" As soon as I said the words, I understood immediately. There was a faint lip mark on the mouth of the bottle, which happened to be the shape of a small cherry lip. "Unfortunately, I don't know how many people the other party has."

"I don't know." Lao Jiu said, "Oh, why are there people coming in? Things are getting more and more chaotic."

"Let's go first." Monroe said, "I'm fine now, let's go."

Lao Jiu nodded, the bottle in his hand was crushed and thrown to the ground...
