Indiana Jones

Chapter 22 Survival in the Jungle (06)

Originally they thought that they had survived the harsh rainy weather, and after these two days of tempering, they could easily go on the road under the premise of knowing the present, but now they found that many things here were still beyond their cognition.

When Li Guoshou realized that that thing was behind him, he was completely dumbfounded and didn't know how to react?He didn't dare to move, but his eyes couldn't help looking back, but because of the angle, he couldn't see what was behind him. He only saw a very unclear shadow clinging to his shoulder.

"Don't move!" Li Siming said in a low voice. Originally, he wanted to kill the thing with one shot, but there were branches everywhere on the tree. His Springfield M1903 gun was too long, and it was inconvenient to use in this environment. So he immediately gave up his long gun and drew his pistol.

But at this moment, Si Xuanyi exclaimed in surprise, and after a closer look, he found that it was Li Guoshou who couldn't help it. He slammed the butt of the gun behind him with his backhand.

This time he used all his strength, wishing to smash everything behind him to pieces, but the gun butt didn't touch anything, but he fell off the platform directly because of too much force, and one leg was caught by the edge of the platform. The tree and vines were entangled, the whole person was dangling upside down in the air, and the rifle was out of his hand. He thought he would be thrown to death, so he screamed in panic.

"Where did it go?" Li Siming looked around for that strange thing with a short gun in one hand and a torch in the other hand.

"I don't know, I didn't see it!" Si Xuanyi held a Thomson submachine gun and looked around vigilantly.

"What is it? Did you say that last time?" Li Siming remembered that Si Xuanyi said he saw that strange face the night he met the giant python.

"I don't know, I didn't see clearly!" The space on the tree was narrow and dense with branches and leaves. Because of the angle, Si Xuanyi really didn't see what it was just now, but saw a shadow.

The disappearance of that thing again made the two of them feel a chill in their hearts. What is the whereabouts of something so strange?Can it haunt them quietly?No matter what it is, such a tall tree, it is impossible for it to come and go without making a sound, let alone leaving no trace, but they didn't even see a swaying branch, could it be true? Is it a ghost?
The two looked around vigilantly with the light of the weak torch. Li Guoshou on one side was swinging around in the air, but they had no time to pay attention to it. That thing must still be nearby...

Suddenly there was an exclamation from below them, it was Liang Rong, Li Siming immediately poked the torch down, and saw Liang Rong soaring into the sky under the dim light of the fire, floating in the air in a very strange posture, as if Being dragged by a strange force, she kept struggling with her hands and feet but couldn't get rid of it at all.

"Damn it..." Si Xuanyi was furious, and regardless of 21, he pulled the trigger continuously at the sky above Liang Rong, and immediately a row of bullets swept out.

Amidst the continuous gunshots, they heard a strange cry, sharp and piercing, long and deep, and they couldn't tell what it was for a while!During the cry, Liang Rong fell straight down and plunged into the overgrown branches below. After a crisp sound, it was unknown where she landed.

"Owl, big owl..." Li Guoshou roared in mid-air. It turned out that he was relatively close to that thing, just above it, so in a trance he saw that it was a huge owl hiding in the darkness. thing.

owl?Li Siming thought about it carefully, but what he saw just now couldn't be connected with the owl. Could it be that the owl has become a spirit?Big enough to lift people up?How could there be such a big owl?
Liang Rong disappeared, lost the reference and they lost the target again. Li Siming tried to brighten the torch, but everything he could find was wet, and he couldn't do it at all. Finally, he lit the tarpaulin, It was only after writing this that the surrounding area was fully illuminated. At this time, Li Guoshou had already climbed up the dilapidated platform in a hurry, while there was nothing on the other side.

Just when Li Guoshou was still in shock, he was suddenly picked up by the car just like Liang Rong, and he left the platform quickly, and that thing came again...

"Next!" Li Siming threw the new torch just made out of tarpaulin to Li Guoshou.

But the kid just kept struggling and didn't pick it up at all. Instead, he danced and knocked the torch into the air. Under the light of the fire, Li Siming and Si Xuanyi saw clearly that it was a huge bird , with two horn-like things growing on his head, a pair of huge eyes staring at his big round face, and a hook-like mouth. At this time, he was trying to drag Li Guoshou off the platform, but because he was too heavy, It can't be dragged at all, it can only be dragged up a little bit.

"It's Diao Xiao..." Li Siming finally recognized what it was. Li Guoshou was right. It was indeed a big night owl. Just now because of the dim light, they took the two tufts of feathers on Diao Xiao's head as Angle, it was an illusion.

Eagle owl, a large nocturnal bird of prey, is a kind of owl. It is also known as hate fox. It inhabits mountain forests and mainly feeds on rodents. There are also some larger ones that prey on poultry and livestock. However, large eagle owls are extremely rare. Only Occasionally appear in deep mountains and old forests.

In folklore, it has long been shrouded in mystery and ominous color because of its fierce temperament and ghostly silent flying ability.

This eagle owl is too big, under the dim light, it looks like a huge Eight Immortals table floating in the air...

The torch drew a circle in the air and somersaulted and fell under the tree. The sky was dark again, and the huge eagle owl was fleeting under the firelight, and finally disappeared into the darkness.

"Bang bang bang..." Si Xuanyi, who had just changed the magazine, fired continuously. These shots were fired entirely by feeling. He could only see Li Guoshou's erratic figure, and he could only shoot at the general position above his body. I don't know if he hit it, but Li Guoshou fell straight down, and regardless of whether he hit it or not, he scared the thing away.

"Get down quickly, this thing holds grudges, it's too dangerous to be on a tree, it's safer for us to go down to the ground." Li Siming said to Si Xuanyi.

At this time, only the two of them were left near the entire platform, and the others all fell down, not knowing whether they were alive or dead. They immediately slid down the tree alternately. After walking down a few meters, Li Siming felt a pain in his back, as if being caught by a steel claw. After grabbing it hard, the eagle owl flew behind him quietly and attacked him.

Li Siming felt a sharp pain in his back, followed by his body being pulled up involuntarily by a strong force, and he was about to be pulled away from the tree trunk...

At this time, Si Xuanyi was climbing down and didn't pay attention to his side at all. Even if he noticed, it was too late. In desperation, Li Siming grabbed the branch of the tree with one hand, and his body was pulled up by the eagle owl. He held back In severe pain, he tried to stabilize his body with one hand while holding the pistol with the other hand and continuously pulled the trigger...
