Indiana Jones

Chapter 139 Getting Worse (07)

In fact, Kawaguchi's shooting and flares were not simply for the two snoring sounds, one long and one short. There seemed to be something moving on the wall, but the thing was completely hidden in the darkness. To see clearly, he ordered his subordinates to fire flares. What he saw surprised him a lot. It was densely packed with tree demons of different sizes. They were climbing down from the top without a sound, and following the sudden lighting of the flares, these things actually made movements to avoid the light, as if they were afraid of the sudden bright light, but this scene made several people including Kawaguchi The little devil sentinel was really shocked.

Kawaguchi opened fire before he could even issue an order, which shows how much the little devil is afraid of the things on the cliff. He doesn't seem to care much about the things being shot by the bullets. It often takes a long time to shoot down one with concentrated firepower. What kind of monster is this? It's really hard to understand. After the devils started shooting, some tree demons that were close to the bottom of the cliff rushed directly to the top and fell, appearing in front of these devils at close range.

Kawaguchi seemed to understand something when the falling tree monster smashed the camouflaged bush and fell into the hole, but he couldn't care about it anymore, because the tree monster didn't just come down from the cliff, they That thing also appeared around...

Fortunately, the tree demon landed at the entrance of the cave, and Si Xuanyi and the others fired successively. With the great power of the Thomson submachine gun and the simultaneous shooting at close range, the tree demon was knocked out of the cave just as soon as it stood up, rolling and falling down. , the danger in front of them was resolved, but they were completely exposed, the devils were not fools, it was impossible to let them toss so hard and still fail to find them.

"Fighting..." Si Xuanyi rushed to the entrance of the cave, faced the devils below and pulled the trigger. His idea was that the devils were already in chaos anyway, so it's better to use this opportunity to eliminate them, at least to kill a few more. What they are about to face can no longer be controlled so much now. The biggest threat to them now is the devils. Even if they can't kill all these devils, they must be maimed.

The attack of the tree demon has already made the devils unable to deal with it, and Si Xuanyi and the others suddenly jumped out to shoot, which caught the devils by surprise. The bullets shot from above completely disrupted their defensive formation, and Kawaguchi immediately organized a retreat and launched an attack. Fighting back and dealing with the tree demon, Si Xuanyi and others at the same time is indeed very difficult, but this is not an option for them.

"Back, avoid the shooting, throw the projectile, attack the cliff, hurry up." Kawaguchi quickly directed his men to dodge the attack and at the same time carry out an effective counterattack.

"There are still three grenades that can be used, and the ammunition is limited..." The subordinates immediately reported.

"No matter, attack, you can't wait to die." Kawaguchi doesn't care about ammunition. As long as he persists until dawn, he can call for support and replenish ammunition and personnel. Being able to survive is the first prerequisite. As for the consumption of ammunition, there is no time to think about it. In a word, live first, at this time he is going crazy, not to mention the tree demons who attacked them, those Chinese people are on the cliff, and the jade seal is close at hand, but now they have no chance to deal with these Chinese people at all people.

The little devil was very "lucky" to find Si Xuanyi and others. The jade seal of the country that these little devils have been thinking about day and night is right in front of them, but they are even more "lucky" to get the special care of this jungle. Creatures always come to make trouble for them as if they just can't get through it.

"The Chinese people are up there!" Miyamoto was extremely unwilling to be dragged back into the woods by several soldiers. Seeing that he was so close to what he was looking for but had to retreat, his feeling was indescribable. God, so many people have been lost, and such a high price has been paid, isn't it just to find these people and get the Jade Seal of Chuanguo?But now?Those few people were trapped on the cliff, but they couldn't do anything. Although they had soldiers under their command and their firepower was strong, they just didn't feel embarrassed by the weird things in the forest, so they didn't have time to do business at all. , How could this not annoy Miyamoto?

In fact, Kawaguchi is more annoyed than Miyamoto, but in this situation, no one can do anything about it. He also thought about using a grenadier to attack directly, but he was worried that it would blow up the Chuanguo Yuxi. That's the same sentence, he lost so much People, after paying such a high price, if only a few fragments were brought back, then the above would definitely not detour them, so this matter has to be discussed in the long run, and now they can only retreat, there is still a chance, those Chinese people can't escape.

Now that the matter has come to this point, there is nothing to say. Let's get rid of these damn blood-sucking dryads first. This is the biggest threat at present.

The tree demon, let's call it that, is a moving tree no matter from its appearance or surface structure, but after the previous close encounter, Kawaguchi felt a little bit more physically and mentally, that is, this thing should also be filled with flesh and blood. It's just that the appearance was disguised to look like a plant. They found flesh and blood among the broken pieces, and the bark-like thing attached to the body was actually a kind of blood-sucking insect. Their guesses are basically the same.

The most troublesome thing for Kawaguchi is that these huge tree demons are extremely difficult to identify in the dark. If the thing stands still in a certain place, it is no different from a tree. Even if you pass by it, you are unlikely to notice it. Damn it They were silent, they didn't shout, they just appeared suddenly and engaged in a sneak attack, making them hard to guard against, and the number of appearances this time has exceeded Kawaguchi's expectations. Hearing the screams around him, Kawaguchi knew for sure without looking. It was a soldier who was attacked, and he might be sucked dry directly, or he might be taken away. In short, once he was caught by that thing, he would not want to live.

"Boom..." Half of a dryad's arm was blown away by a grenade. As for whether it can be called an arm, no one knows. At least it should be an arm based on the human body as a reference, but this is not the case. The important thing is that this time Kawaguchi finally saw clearly that there were a few long rattan-like things growing in the part that was blown off, and the dryad might rely on these things to suck blood.

"Fight them off, don't stay away from the cliff, our target is on it, we can't let them run away." Kawaguchi swung his command knife to cut off a tentacles-like thing stretched out by a tree demon, and shouted at the others, following them A large portion of the "vine" was cut off by the commanding knife, and at the same time, several pieces of bark on the tree demon suddenly jumped up and fell on him and quickly got into his clothes, which scared him a lot , Immediately beat and beat to get the thing off, but ignored the arm that the tree demon swung back again, this time it was directly drawn on his back, and the huge force flew him away and hit him hard On a tree trunk, Kawaguchi felt as if his back was broken, dizzy, his eyes went black, and he almost passed out. Fortunately, two soldiers snatched him back in time, so the second tree demon who was not caught up attacks.

Kawaguchi had already crawled several of those bark worms, but luckily they were dealt with in time before they got into his clothes.

"Ah..." A wounded devil pulled off the grenade and rushed directly at the nearest tree demon, but he was sent flying far away in mid-air and was blown to pieces.

There were still dryads climbing down the cliff. According to rough calculations, Kawaguchi's men killed at least three with grenades and grenades, but now there are seven or eight of them besieging them. The situation is not optimistic.

"A group of three to five people, shoot in salvo, don't run around." Kawaguchi commanded his men to counterattack from behind, "Close each group, back to back, to reduce the range of being attacked."

The sound of explosions is constantly being heard around, and tree demons are constantly being blown into pieces. Kawaguchi ordered his men to defend, the cliff is only ten meters away, and he will never stay away from this area. People are within his control, and once these dryads are eliminated, he can kill them immediately to get the jade seal.

Judging from the gunshots from the rock wall that the situation of those Chinese soldiers seems to be no better than his own, this makes Kawaguchi somewhat "relieved". After all, under the current situation, he has no time to estimate the few people above. Being entangled by the tree demon might not be a bad thing, it was buying time for himself.

During the melee, a ghost soldier ran out of ammunition in his gun and was forced by the tree demon to poke the torch in his hand on the wrinkled body of the tree demon when he ran out of ammunition in time, and suddenly a puff of smoke rose from the skin It actually started to burn, and soon the tree demon turned into a moving torch. The fire was quite strong, but it was strange that the tree demon didn't make any sound, nor did it react violently. After shaking for a while, it fell to the ground and started to burn slowly. The light smoke was mixed with a foul smell.

This was a good counterattack method that he discovered accidentally. Kawaguchi immediately asked his subordinates to do the same. Soon, four tree demons were burned down, and the other tree demons also fled one after another. The devils cheered and immediately lit a bonfire to regroup. , Those tree demons who were burned to death burned very slowly, and the fire was not too strong, but it was burning slowly, and there was no intention of extinguishing it at all. Calling in the cave, this work naturally fell on the palace itself, which is considered a Chinese expert, but this guy shouted for a long time and no one paid attention to him. Kawaguchi was furious, and immediately sent people to climb up, and at the same time asked the people below to provide Covering and getting ready to deal with emergencies, two devils with Type 21 submachine guns quickly climbed up, and when they reached the entrance of the cave, they just fired at the inside regardless of [-]...
