Indiana Jones

Chapter 133 Getting Worse (01)

The condition of several people is not very good now. Both Ma Zhong and Rhodes have just regained their ability to move. They have some difficulty walking, so it is not suitable for them to set off immediately. After the two can leave, they will consider the issue of moving on.

But staying here, they were worried that they would run into trouble again. What happened last night still left them with lingering fears, and they were in a dilemma for a while.

"What the hell is that?" Rhodes asked impatiently after he could speak.

"To be honest, I really don't know. I only saw that the thing was huge, and it was pitch black..." Si Xuanyi had a hard time describing what he saw, but he knew very well that the thing didn't seem to be moving very fast. It's just the special shape that impressed him deeply.

"What is that thing that sucked my blood?" Rhodes still had lingering fears about that thing.

"I don't know, I haven't seen it, let alone heard of it." Si Xuanyi shook his head. No one can answer this question. As a group of big bosses, they know very little about this. Rong is the most educated among them, and the only one who has received formal education, but she knows nothing about it. After all, there are too many creatures in this jungle that they don't know, and many of them are from this jungle. Unique, never touched by humans.

"It should be a parasite." Liang Rong said, "or blood-sucking worms."

Of course, this is just her guess and inference, and she can't guarantee whether it is true.

"Actually, I think this thing has something to do with the huge monster that attacked us last night." Si Xuanyi said, "The place where I was ambushed was my shoulder, and that thing is also here." He pointed to his wound and said.

"It's a bit preconceived." Liang Rong said, "Maybe it's just this kind of parasite that attacked you instead of that behemoth?"

"Uh..." Si Xuanyi was stunned by her question for a moment. His words did make sense, but he still felt that something was wrong, but he just couldn't figure out what the problem was.

"Don't forget, there was more than one thing that came last night. The one who stole the thing and the one who smashed the torch must not be the same thing. The one who pulled Ma Zhong out later should be different from these two." Li Si Said clearly.

"I'm just wondering why those things are always staring at us? It's always difficult for us on heavy rainy days." Ma Zhong cooked some soup for everyone. Although walking was strenuous, it didn't affect him getting food. The key problem was that he I can't eat the meat anymore.

"This place is much weirder than the places we've stayed in before. We have to find a suitable place to rest tonight, otherwise we won't be able to live in peace." Li Siming said.

Who doesn't want to sleep peacefully?Who wants to be attacked by those strange things in fear at night, but this is not their choice. In the jungle, they are just struggling, completely powerless to resist the weirdness and inexplicable dangers here.

"Easier said than done?" Si Xuanyi sighed, "Unless our main purpose is to find a suitable place to stay overnight, when will we be able to go out?"

"It's only meaningful if you can survive, otherwise what's the point of going out?" Li Siming felt that there was something wrong with Si Xuanyi's thinking.

"The longer you stay here, the more dangerous it is." Si Xuanyi knew that Li Siming's point of view was at least correct. Survival is the first element, but time is the biggest problem. They will definitely not be able to take advantage of this jungle. It is obvious.

"At least we have to have a good night's sleep. Everyone needs to rest and recover their strength, otherwise we can only slowly die in the woods one by one." Li Siming said.

"I agree with this." Si Xuanyi said, then find a suitable place to sleep peacefully today.

"It's [-]:[-] in the morning. In fact, the day has just begun." Rhodes said after clarifying their intentions, "So we still have time to complete this set goal."

"The problem is that there is stagnant water everywhere in the woods, and it is quite difficult to walk." Liang Rong said. Then everyone remembered that the most basic problem is that the road is difficult to walk, not how much to walk, let alone Finding a place is as simple as that.

"No matter what, we have to leave. It's too dangerous at night. At least we have to leave this area." Si Xuanyi made up his mind, "We'll leave in half an hour, everyone get ready."

Rhodes got better after eating something, and his physical condition recovered faster than expected. It seems that the thing just paralyzed his nerves and sucked his blood, and had relatively little impact on his body. of.

Ma Zhong didn't know whether his physical fitness was not as good as Rhodes' or his state was weaker due to excessive blood loss, but basically he could walk, which was enough, as long as he could walk, even if he walked slowly, he wouldn't be sitting here waiting to die.

The jungle just after it rained was full of water. Large and small pieces of water made the forest look a bit like a huge swamp. They had to walk around the road. This kind of place is really not suitable for going straight. The water is everywhere. They are all leeches and leeches, and I don't know where these things crawled out from. They are several times more dense than what they usually see, and they are so dense that it makes people feel hairy. Ma Zhong described them as as many as maggots in the dung cellar , The disgusting few people almost vomited.

It is not an easy task to hurry or find a new foothold, but less than a kilometer behind them, Kawaguchi is taking more than a dozen of his men to wait for the supplies to be airdropped, yes, there are only a dozen of them, Their experience was even worse than Si Xuanyi's. Now there are only sixteen people left. Those people died on this bloody road inexplicably. They lost four people just last night. They were attacked. But they were powerless to resist, because they didn't know what was being attacked. In this regard, they were similar to Si Xuanyi and others, except that they suffered more losses.

Miyamoto said that their goals were too big, and there was too much movement in the places they passed, so they attracted the attention of your beasts. This is not unreasonable, but Kawaguchi didn't take this to heart. They are safe under the strength of the troops. Only when there are enough people will they have a chance to contend with any beasts in this jungle, so he has asked the higher-ups to increase the number of troops again. He needs more people to carry out a larger-scale search. The biggest trouble now is that the overnight rain has completely destroyed the traces in the jungle, and they have lost the trace of Si Xuanyi and others, so he can only continue to search in the forest, following the direction where Si Xuanyi and the others disappeared, but Hope to find their traces again, but this is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack, but he has already transferred several other teams nearby to expand the search area in this area.

It seems that Si Xuanyi and the others still need to face great danger, but they don't know anything about it now, but even if they know, there is no other way, can they still fly out?They would like to, but it is absolutely impossible.

There is no safe place in the jungle. The so-called safety is only relative or temporary, so it is impossible to find a suitable place to rest. Si Xuanyi and the others can only try their luck while walking.

"With our progress, we won't be able to go far even when it gets dark!" Li Siming gasped and said, in his opinion, they are not moving forward at all now.

"It's still the same sentence, find a suitable place to take a break. We won't be able to make any substantial progress if this goes on. We need to rest." Si Xuanyi said. After serious consideration, he also felt that this would not work. Everyone's physical strength was exhausted. It has reached the limit, if it goes on like this, not to mention the devils, they will not be able to deal with it even in this forest.

"That's a good point, but the real problem we are facing is that we can't find a suitable place to rest, which is not easy to find." Rhodes said.

The density of the woods is uneven, and there is water everywhere on the ground. It is naturally difficult to walk. When they trekked until noon, they found that they seemed to have unknowingly detoured into a puddle, and there was water everywhere. If you don't walk in the water, you can't get out.

"Walking around to such a ghostly place." Ma Zhong leaned against a tree and said, shaking the mud on his feet. His physical strength was not very good, and it was even worse after the injury. A kind of torture.

"The terrain ahead is starting to get higher, and it should be much easier to walk." Li Siming observed the surrounding situation and pointed in one direction, "Follow me."

In desperation, the few people could only walk forward through the stagnant water and mud, and countless leeches and leeches swarmed to them. Seeing their scalps tingling, this thing was inevitable.

They climbed to a gentle slope through the waterlogged area, and then there was a river valley. It may be because of the rain just now that the water was very strong, and there was a not-so-small waterfall with a drop of more than three meters.

This is a good source of clean water. After washing off the mud on his body and replenishing fresh water, he continued to move forward. After passing through a giant forest at four o'clock in the afternoon, they reached the bottom of a cliff. After searching carefully along the cliff, they finally They found a crevice in the rock, but the gap was too small for them to enter. In desperation, they could only continue walking along the cliff. Finally, they found a cave on the cliff more than ten meters high. Although it was not big, it was discovered after getting in that the place was really nice, at least it was dry and open enough for them to have a good night's sleep.

"The hole is a problem, how to seal it?" Rhodes asked.

"It's not difficult." Li Siming and Si Xuanyi cut enough firewood and a lot of shrubs and brought them back with ropes. The firewood was enough for them to burn for a long time, and these shrubs piled up at the entrance of the cave can be a good camouflage. Looking at the scene from the bottom up It was nothing but a thriving bush.
