Indiana Jones

Chapter 136 Getting Worse (04)

Seeing this scene, Si Xuanyi got goosebumps, and a chill ran down his spine. What the hell is that?How could it be possible to kidnap a person quietly, and the devil didn't seem to struggle at all, and was recruited completely without knowing it? How is this possible?

What made Si Xuanyi even more surprised when he arrived was that the tree crown attached to the black shadow flickered, and the huge black shadow split into two and crawled in different directions. Part of it actually followed the tree trunk to the ground, a huge black shadow Appearing behind the tree, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see clearly. Since the thing could get the devil out of the hammock, why didn't it weigh at all? This is completely unreasonable.

The other half of the black shadow that was divided into two walked between the tree crowns, like two silent ghosts sneaking up to attack the devil. In a trance, Si Xuanyi even suspected that the thing had no entity, but two shadows. It's incredible.

Although he was full of fear, although his heart was trembling when he saw it, it didn't take long for Si Xuanyi's eyes to fight. His body was the most real. He was really tired. Originally, he planned to continue watching the devil's movements and see what it was. , but before he knew it, he leaned against the stone wall at the entrance of the cave and fell asleep. No matter how much he could bear it, after all, he was just an ordinary flesh and blood body, not made of iron. If his body was exhausted to a certain extent, he would not be able to bear it without rest. Yes, but he slept very restlessly. After all, he was full of fear in his heart. Even when his body needed to rest, he could not sleep at ease. It can even be said that he just slept in a chaotic state, and did not sleep well. Basically, he was only half asleep and half asleep. I don't know how long it took for a gunshot to wake him up from his dream. When he woke up, he found that he was covered in cold sweat, but fortunately, the gunshot came from the devil's camp below. Nothing happened here.

A few people inside were awakened by the gunshots, and of course Ma Zhong was still comatose...

Li Siming and others rushed over immediately, and there was a lot of noise in the devil's camp below, and the gunshots continued. Everyone looked down and didn't see anything at first. After all, there was not enough light, and the bonfire was not as bright as before. In the dim light, they could only see the devils shooting in one direction. Most of the devils sleeping on the tree had come down, forming a circle and pointing their guns at the surroundings. The black shadow had disappeared, and Si Xuanyi and the others quickly discovered the problem when they looked in the direction their guns were pointing at. The devil was shooting at "a tree", which made them a little confused. The tree was not It was so big, it was inconspicuous compared to the surrounding giant trees, nothing was stupid enough to hide in the canopy of such a small tree, but soon they discovered that was not the case at all, the tree was moving...

"Tree?" Li Siming blurted out, and almost at the same time Rhodes also said a word, "Tree..."

"Impossible." Si Xuanyi pretended to be calm and said, "How could a tree move? It must not be a tree."

"Then what did you say!" Li Siming asked back.

"Have you ever seen trees running all over the ground?" Si Xuanyi stared at the two-legged tree monster that had obviously started to recede into the forest.

None of them said a word. If they hadn't witnessed their death, they wouldn't have believed such a thing.

The "Tree Demon" quickly ran into the woods, but those ghosts did not chase after them, but continued to shoot at the treetops with their guns up. There were several ghosts lying on the ground in front of these ghosts. I can intuitively feel that these devils are thin and dry, as if they were refugees who couldn't eat enough during the famine.

"Could it be that the devil's logistical supplies are not in place? They have airdropped supplies, and besides, it's impossible to find food in the jungle." Si Xuanyi felt that something was wrong.

"No..." Li Siming stared at the devils lying on the ground thoughtfully, "It's definitely not that simple."

"Damn it, why don't these devils leave?" Rhodes cursed in a low voice. In fact, he also knew that what he said was wrong. It was impossible for devils to escape under such encounters, but he still hoped that devils could If they leave here, they won't have to worry about their situation.

The "tree monster" has escaped without a trace, but the devils are still firing at the surrounding tree crowns. I don't know what they are shooting at. The bonfire in the sky was burning again, and the surrounding light became much brighter. At this point, they finally saw clearly that the devils lying on the ground were not so thin, but that they had sucked all the blood in their bodies after being attacked. They didn't think of this, but when the devils were rescuing them, they got a lot of the bark-like vampire bugs they had encountered before, and the devils were almost completely covered by that monster. Covered by worms, these ghosts were almost skinny after removing them. This scene really made several people feel cold all over.

"But it's impossible to absorb all the blood with these things alone." Si Xuanyi was the first to react.

"Part of it should be sucked away first, and then these things come to pick up the 'leftover'." Rhodes said.

After hearing Liang Rong's deduction, both Si Xuanyi and Li Siming felt it was far-fetched, but there was no other more reasonable explanation. However, what happened to these devils did make them a little unpredictable. Naturally, it was impossible to deduce what happened after Si Xuanyi fell asleep. .

Just as they were talking, the gunfire of the devils became more intense, and things kept falling from the canopy. When they looked closely, they found that they were huge black bark worms. I don't know when these worms got into the canopy. .

As soon as the insect landed, the devil rushed up and picked it into the bonfire and burned it with a crackling sound. It could be seen that the devil was quite afraid of these blood-sucking bark insects.

Just when these devils were all focused on the treetop, Si Xuanyi suddenly noticed a huge black shadow appearing behind a tree. The devils didn't notice it at all until the black shadow attacked a devil who was closest to it was discovered.

The black shadow looks very similar to the "Tree Demon" that retreated into the woods before, no, it should be a kind of thing, the "Tree Demon" moves quite flexibly, after a closer look, they found that it was indeed a giant with four limbs A tree, at least a big tree, is covered with bark and branches. Its thick arms can easily wrap a ghost around and drag it away. At first Si Xuanyi and the others thought that the tree demon just wanted to take the captured devil away. Let's go, but soon they found that the ghost caught by the tree demon quickly became silent, he just struggled for a moment and then calmed down, while the ghost's body was rapidly shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It's this thing that sucks blood." Li Siming said with some horror, "Damn, it sucks blood from a person so quickly. What kind of monster is this?"

"God, I hope we don't encounter this thing." Rhodes moaned softly.

"By the way, that's the thing. It's the thing that took Ma Zhong away last night." Si Xuanyi figured out what was going on.

"But how can this thing move on the canopy? Judging from its figure, it is absolutely impossible to attach to the surface of the canopy." Li Siming still felt that something was wrong.

At this time, the devil had already broken a limb of the tree monster with the power of the weapon, but the powerful tree monster was not killed, but fled into the depths of the jungle. Only then did the devil's gunfire stop slowly. After coming down, seeing what happened to the devil made Si Xuanyi and the others terrified. Fortunately, they didn't spend the night in the canopy tonight, otherwise they might be the ones who were attacked.

Bark worms were also found on the blood-sucking devil, but they didn't know when these worms crawled on the devil.

"If my guess is right..." Li Siming paused, as if he was thinking, and he continued after a while, "That kind of bark insect should be one with the tree demon, or it should be parasitic on the tree demon. On the tree demon, that is to say, when the tree demon attacked, the bark worms crawled onto the devil, and the bark worms on the tree were also separated from the tree demon, as you have all seen, the tree demon's The appearance itself is the shape of a big tree, so those bark worms may be parasitic on its surface, but the problem is that I have never heard of such a monster.”

"Aren't there few things we've never heard of in this place?" Si Xuanyi sighed lightly, "Let's not mention the relationship between these two things for the time being. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether our guess is right or wrong. The key is that we have We are lucky enough, after all, these things are not attacking us, and the biggest trouble we are currently facing is the devils below. Although the devils lost four or five people, this does not damage their overall combat effectiveness. On the contrary, we are facing big trouble , the possibility of the devil finding us after dawn is as high as [-]%, what should we do?"

"It's eleven o'clock in the evening. If it doesn't work, let's leave here in the dark. Although we have to take great risks, it's better than resigning ourselves to fate here." Rhodes said.

"But how do we avoid these devils?" Li Siming said, "Their guards are so strict that it is basically impossible to compare them at such a short distance."

"This is indeed a problem." Si Xuanyi frowned, "It should have been a good opportunity for us when the devils were attacked just now. Their attention was all on the other side, and our side was a blind spot that was ignored by them. , but the problem is that we didn't think of this at all just now."

"This is really troublesome!" Li Siming sighed softly.

"We must go, but how to go is the biggest problem." Si Xuanyi looked at the devils below and couldn't think of a way.

"It would be great if the attack just now happened again." Liang Rong said, but everyone knew that this was too wishful thinking. They didn't have the final say on such matters. Who knows if the monster will come back again?
