Chapter 127 The Death of Agui (02)

Although they understood the purpose of the devil, although they already knew that the devil was looking for them, this did not help Si Xuanyi and the others to solve any problems. Their escape had to continue, and they continued to face the jungle and the dangers that might appear at any time. Devils, this is their fate.

It started to rain, and the sparse raindrops made the jungle rustle. The rain was not heavy, which reminded them of the conflict with the devils when they rescued James. More than ten days had passed, and they had experienced too many things. It is a miracle that they can survive till now. As for how far they can go, no one knows, let alone whether they can leave this jungle alive.

They drove away the mosquitoes, fought back so many bugs, and avoided the ghosts, but they were still in this forest, the jungle that gave them countless nightmares.

"Agui helped us with his life. We must get out alive, otherwise he will die in vain." Li Siming said.

"I respect him as a man." Ma Zhong said, he admired Agui sincerely. When Agui and that devil died together, he once asked himself if he would have such courage, But until now he couldn't answer himself. In fact, he knew that he was a person who was very afraid of death. What's the shame in being afraid of death?Who doesn't want to live?

"At least one devil can speak Chinese, otherwise we would not be able to know their purpose." Liang Rong said, "Now we must protect this jade seal, and it cannot fall into the hands of devils no matter what."

"I think it's better to bury it in a random place. Devils don't want to find it." Ma Zhong said, he felt that carrying the jade seal was a burden. In fact, he was more inclined to let the devils find it, because as long as the devil got the jade seal I won't be looking for them anymore, they are more likely to survive, why bother with devils over a stone?There are dozens of dynasties in China, and this is not the only jade seal, but he knows very well that other people will not agree, and if he speaks out, he will be scolded or even beaten, so he can only think about it this way.

"We should take this thing out. The devils looking for it regardless of the cost shows that it is very important, at least of high value, or has some special meaning, otherwise they wouldn't have spent so much manpower and material resources on such a thing. "Si Xuanyi said, "So we have the responsibility to bring Yuxi back. Although we can't go back to the war zone and fight the devils, we can finally do something."

In fact, Si Xuanyi was still very reluctant to admit that he was a deserter deep down in his heart, but both honor and shame in the jungle had been wiped away, and now he finally found an excuse.

"The forest is huge. It is impossible for the devils to send all the troops in. That's unrealistic, so we just need not to be found." Rhodes is quite rational. Although there are many devils, no matter how many devils there are in the forest It is also impossible to reach the level of a blanket search, so there is still great hope for them to escape.

They don't like rain, although most animals hide when it rains, mosquitoes don't bother them, and it's not so hot, but even wearing raincoats they will be soaked and walk on the ground. Difficult, no suitable place to rest.

But after knowing that the devils are looking for them, the rain is actually a good thing, because the rain can erase the traces they left along the way, which helps them get rid of the devils' pursuit, but trekking in the rain is not comfortable.

"We have to find a suitable place to spend the night, preferably a place where a fire can be lit and it won't be exposed to rain." Rhodes panted.

"This kind of place is not so easy to find. It's hard to find." Liang Rong said, "We still have time, so we should try our best to move forward. If we stop at a suitable place, there is no need to waste time for a place to spend the night. , devils may appear at any time."

"I agree." Li Siming said.

"I hope I can find a suitable place." Si Xuanyi didn't hold much hope. Even if there is a place suitable for overnight stay in a place where you can't see anything but trees a few meters away, it's not so easy to find.

Everyone was exhausted, but they couldn't just stop. The road under their feet was unknown, but they couldn't stop as long as they didn't leave the jungle. After the rain, it became cooler, which made them feel more comfortable. It's just that the road is getting more and more difficult to walk, and the trees get bigger and bigger as they go forward. They are really not as good as ants in front of these hundreds of thousands of giant trees.

"How big a house will be built if this beam is used?" Ma Zhong lamented everything he saw from his unique cognitive perspective.

"Pig head, if you have such a big tree, why do you build a house? Just dig a hole in it and live in it." Li Siming said.

"I've lived in a cave, but never in a tree," Ma Zhong said.

"It's a pity that we can't even find an ant hole now, and the situation is not as good as that of ants." Si Xuanyi sighed.

"We now have enough tarps and raincoats, at least we can not get caught in the rain." Liang Rong said.

"But there is no way to make a fire." Ma Zhong always felt that the night without light would be fatal.

"It's really dangerous without a bonfire, but we have experienced similar situations before, and we have all come here." Si Xuanyi said, "As long as the rain is not heavy enough, this night will not be too sad."

"What's the hurry? It's still early before dark." Li Siming looked at the tall tree crown above his head and said, "Let's go for a while first."

Indeed, looking at the time, it is only past three o'clock in the afternoon. Although the jungle itself has poor light transmission, coupled with the rainy weather, it is already very dark inside, but there is still some time before it gets dark. At least they still have time to go. They can walk for another two hours, maybe they can find a suitable place to stay during this time.

The rain didn't get heavier, but they found that they couldn't go on like this anymore. The light was getting darker and darker, and they couldn't tell the direction. Many times they couldn't figure out what was ahead, and it would be very dangerous to go on like this. In desperation They had no choice but to go up the tree to prepare for this long and difficult night.

But when they climbed up, they found that the canopy here is very interesting. The branches of adjacent big trees are intertwined, and the growth over the years has been completely integrated into one. The branches that continue to branch out fill any gaps that can be stretched. It was very difficult to climb up, and finally they stopped at a place about 30 meters above the ground. At this time, they had completely penetrated into the canopy, surrounded by thick branches intersecting with each other, because the space is limited, the branches overlap each other The roots are crowded together, and the shapes are extremely distorted. Whether it is thick or thin, they are densely packed together.

"This place is not bad." Li Siming squatted on the branch and studied for a while and said to Si Xuanyi, "Borrow the ghost knife."

Si Xuanyi was panting on a branch below. Hearing what he said, he took off the ghost knife on his back and handed it up. Li Siming took it in his hand and slashed the knife towards those branches, but in a moment he opened a "" "Hole", that's right, it's a hole, a hole made of branches and leaves, he reinforced it with some vines and ropes, and then covered it with a tarp. After throwing the tarp underneath, it turned out to be a good shelter, although it was small A little bit, but it can be regarded as avoiding the rain outside, and everything is fine except that the fire cannot be lit.

"Very good." Si Xuanyi said with satisfaction while sitting inside.

"This is the first time to spend a rainy night in a tree without being exposed to rain, right?" Ma Zhong said.

"I have to thank the devil for sending us the tarp." Li Siming was so tired that he didn't even bother to move outside.

"This place is still very safe, sleep." Rhodes is also very satisfied with this camp.

It was impossible for them all to lie down, the space was not that big, a few people could only huddle in it, but they fell asleep very quickly, they had not rested for a long time, they were already exhausted, and Si Xuanyi, who was originally going to serve as a sentry, also Fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took for Si Xuanyi to be awakened by the thunder. The rumbling thunder seemed to explode right next to his ears, making his ears buzz. When he opened his eyes, his surroundings were completely dark, completely black and pure. It was raining a lot outside, and the sound of the rushing rain became the main theme in the darkness. It took Si Xuanyi a while to connect the absolute darkness with what happened before going to bed, and then he remembered where he was. He touched his body Next, there were still branches covered with tarpaulins. Next to the unevenness was a person's feet. According to his memory, it should be Ma Zhong, on the opposite side were Rhodes and Li Siming, and at the bottom was Liang Rong.

I don't know if the others are awake or not. Si Xuanyi rubbed his head that was so painful that it was about to split open. The constant churning in his stomach reminded him that he hadn't eaten since dealing with those mosquitoes. Although he was still very tired, he Decided to eat something first.

Thinking of this, he went to touch his backpack, there was still butter and biscuits in it, no matter what he had to eat first, he could only touch a little bit, the bag was behind him, it was easy to hold, he opened it and found it quickly What he wanted was a pack of biscuits. He opened it and stuffed it into his mouth. The rations of the U.S. military were pretty good, at least it was delicious when he was hungry, but the biscuits were a bit hard. He took out the kettle and drank it. I took a sip, but the spout was still full of mud. I remembered that I hadn’t even taken a sip of water since I came out of the swamp. I really don’t know how I persisted.

The smelly mud almost made him vomit, wrapped the spout with his sleeve and twisted it a few times to wipe it, and then he drank the water. Just when he was about to eat two yuan with the water, a lightning flashed across the sky , only a little light came in through the canopy of the tree, but he could finally see some faint light, but he saw a different scene, squatting on the other side of him where no one should have been. The figure, with the faint light flashing for a moment, he found that the person had long hair, and under the hair was an extremely ugly face...
