Indiana Jones

Chapter 338

Si Xuanyi wasn't sure what was coming out again. Zhou Da's actions just now had completely shocked him. He couldn't understand the weird movements and completely inhuman behavior. No matter what came this time, he would Don't care, anyway, no matter what it is, as long as there is a threat, he will shoot directly, smash it first.

"Don't move around, it's me." Just as Si Xuanyi was concentrating on shooting at any time, Lin Feng's voice suddenly came from under the tree.

Si Xuanyi was stunned for a moment, that was indeed Lin Feng's voice, and this kid is back too?He turned on the flashlight, and saw Lin Feng standing not far from under the tree, his body covered in blood.

Si Xuanyi was overjoyed, and was about to get down from the tree, but he forgot that he was still tied to the tree, and was pulled back again. While untying the rope, he asked Lin Feng what happened?How badly did you get hurt?

"It's okay, it's not mine." Lin Feng took off his shirt and shook it, "I bumped into something just now, I didn't see what it was, and I got blood all over my body, the smell is too strong, I can't always carry it, I have to wash it Wash. Otherwise the beast will be found."

Si Xuanyi slid down from the tree: "I guess you bumped into Zhou Da who was injured by me."

"Hmm..." Lin Feng pointed in a direction and told him to follow him, "I lost my follow, he moved too fast, I didn't expect him to come back again, if you didn't shoot, I really wouldn't be able to find you so easily, if According to what you said, I bumped into him and said it should be him."

"What's wrong with him? Why doesn't he look like a person at all." Si Xuanyi still couldn't understand Zhou Da's behavior.

"He is no longer a human being." Lin Feng said as he walked, "I have to go back and ask the old man what's going on, I guess he should know something."

"Is he crazy or..." No matter how he thought about it, Si Xuanyi felt that this was not quite right.

"If I'm not wrong, he should be controlled by something, but I can't tell exactly what it is." Lin Feng jumped off a ridge, and there was the sound of water in front of him, which should have reached the river.

"Being possessed by a ghost or fascinated by a weasel? Is it similar to this situation?" Si Xuanyi also jumped down.

Sure enough, there was a small river in front, not wide, only three to five meters, the water was very clear, the two men washed the blood stains on their bodies hastily, in the mountains, with the smell of blood all over their bodies, they would definitely attract wild animals, Although they are not afraid, they do not want to ask for trouble.

"I shot him several times, but he ran away." Si Xuanyi said, shaking the water off his hand.

"In this state, I'm afraid you don't care how many shots you give him. Unless you cut him open, he can't die." Lin Feng wrung out his clothes and held them in his hands. It was wet. He didn't want to put them on his body, because it would be colder .

"My few shots were fatal." Si Xuanyi said, "Even if he doesn't die, he should be seriously injured and bleed dry, right?"

"You have to make it clear that he is no longer a human being, so don't use human standards to measure his behavior and life." Lin Feng said, "I still don't know what kind of change he is, but I can be sure. He's not human anymore, the big question now is is he the only one who got the trick? What about the others? We have to go back and see if anyone else has the same problem? If that's the case it's going to be troublesome .”

Si Xuanyi's heart trembled when he said this, something happened, and he forgot to think about it. As a team manager, he didn't think as much as Lin Feng. No gunshots were heard, and there should be no problem with Li Siming and the woodcutter sitting there.

The two returned in a hurry. There were no accidents along the way. Just halfway there, a flashlight appeared in front of them. A group of people came towards this side. When they got closer, they found that Li Siming came with a few people Yes, it must be because he was worried after realizing that he and Lin Feng had left, so he followed him after asking about the situation.

"Nothing happened in the camp, right?" Si Xuanyi's first words when they met were about his status.

"No, everything is as usual. The old man is in charge, don't worry." Li Siming said, "What happened? Why did you leave without saying anything? Feng Youcai only knows which direction you are going, and we can only go by feeling. Look in this direction."

"It's hard to explain in one word, let's go back and talk about it." For a while, Si Xuanyi didn't know how to explain what happened just now.

"Okay, everyone is waiting." Li Siming stopped asking.

Qiao Fu didn't make a sound for a long time after listening to the two people's narration. He just silently looked at the darkness in the distance, his expression kept changing, as if he was thinking about something.

"Old man, do you know what that is?" Si Xuanyi finally lost his temper.

"It is said that there is a strange beast that existed in ancient times called the Soul-devouring Beast. This kind of thing is like an earthworm, and its body is covered with bristles. It lives together in groups of three or four. It lives in three feet of soil underground, dormant all year round. If a human or beast is close to its soil surface, it will drill out of the ground and enter the body through the seven orifices, lay eggs in the body, and then control the animal to hunt and feed on the larvae in the body. The larvae grow up and break out of the body. But hundreds or even thousands of years, according to your description, the only thing I can think of at present is this thing." The woodcutter said.

"Will the controlled thing not know what it is doing?" Si Xuanyi asked again.

"This thing has only been seen in legends. As for what kind of performance it has, no one knows. If you want to confirm it, you can only cut open the thing controlled by it to see if there are hard bones all over its body. Something like a big hairy bug."

"That means he is hopeless..." Si Xuanyi said.

"Even if you don't know the real reason why he became like this, what are you going to do to save him? This is a place where you can find everything in the deep mountains and old forests. It's a blessing that only one person died in the past two days when we came here." The woodcutter Looking back at Dakui, the latter nodded quickly, "We didn't encounter any danger on this journey, and it went smoother than expected. Before we came here, we had to be accompanied by more than five people. Even so, some people would not be injured. There will also be sneak attacks, but we got here without any trouble this time, which is already quite difficult."

"What if it's really that kind of soul-eating bug? Is there a way to prevent it?" Zhao Chenggong asked.

The woodcutter thought for a while before he said: "Block all your eyes when you sleep. The thing itself is fragile, and its attack power is no more powerful than an earthworm. It is only terrible after it enters the body."

"Then how is it possible to block the nose so that it doesn't suffocate?" Zhao Chenggong felt that this method was unreliable.

"Pig brain, tie up your clothes when you sleep, and put a cloth bag on your head." Someone in the crowd said something.

"Who? Who said that?" Zhao Chenggong was furious. No one dared to talk to him like that, but no one responded, and no one was stupid enough to admit it.

"There are still a few corpses of devils over there. Let's check the situation at dawn." Si Xuanyi looked at his watch, and it was already three o'clock in the morning. It's over, becoming the first non-combat attrition so far in this mission.

In the remaining few hours, no one slept soundly. The incident was too weird. Everyone felt somewhat insecure. When the sky was just dawn, everyone got up. Fortunately, nothing happened. Dakui consciously After making breakfast, Si Xuanyi took a few people to check the corpses of those devils, but when they got there, they found that there was nothing on the ground, only a bunch of messy footprints.

"You remember it right?" Zhao Chenggong couldn't believe it.

"This is the footprints of Lin Feng and I, right here." Si Xuanyi squatted on the ground and looked at the footprints he left last night and said with certainty.

"That's right, it's here." Lin Feng looked around and said, "Zhou Da was running that way at the time, you were on that tree over there, Ye Feng, go and see if there are any bullet casings under that tree."

Ye Feng ran over there according to his words, Si Xuanyi looked at the messy footprints on the ground a little dazed: "Where did the corpse go?"

"Are you sure those are all dead? Could it be that they just fell asleep?" Zhao Chenggong still didn't believe his words.

"Nonsense, am I the kind who can't tell the difference between life and death?" Si Xuanyi felt that this guy was a bit annoying.

"It's indeed a bit strange." Lin Feng was circling around, "I checked at the time, and none of them was alive. Even if they were dragged by wild animals, they couldn't all be dragged away. I checked roughly at that time, There are as many as a dozen."

"But now there is really nothing here, unless it is moved away, but it is unlikely in this place. As you said, even wild beasts can't drag them all away. This thing is really weird."

In fact, except for Lin Feng and Si Xuanyi, no one believed that they had seen the devil's body here last night.

"There are a lot of weird things, we have to be careful." Lin Feng said meaningfully, "But one thing is for sure, the Japanese have been here, and they have encountered many troubles. It cannot be said that they have suffered a lot. At least the staff It’s a big loss, and from that point of view we’re lucky we only lost one person.”

"Two people spread out to search and expand the area. I'll gather here in half an hour." Si Xuanyi didn't want to make wild guesses here.

Ye Feng ran back with a few bullet casings in his hand: "There is a lot of blood on the ground over there, and it went up another hillside."

"Zhou Da's blood, go and have a look." Si Xuanyi patted him and told him to follow him.

Zhao Chenggong scratched his head and said to Li Siming, "I'll take someone north."

Si Xuanyi and Ye Feng followed the bloodstains on the ground along the way, but after passing the hillside, there was the river, and the bloodstains disappeared when they reached the river.

"I found no blood on the other side." Ye Feng stood by the river and looked around for a long time, and then walked downstream along the river for a while, but still found nothing.

"I guess I can't find it." Si Xuanyi shook his head. Originally, he wanted to see if Zhou Da's condition could be saved, but now he couldn't even find him, so there was no such possibility.

After half an hour, everyone reunited, and the only discovery was that Feng Youcai picked up a [-] big cap and came back.

"It was stuck in the pile of rocks on the eastern hillside, and it took me a long time to pull it out." Feng Youcai said triumphantly.

"These footprints disappeared when they reached the southern hillside, and there is a barren grassland." Lin Feng looked at the direction where the footprints extended and said, "I chased there last night, but I lost it in the end."

"There's no need to track down the devils, we have our own direction to go." Si Xuanyi turned his head, "Go back to eat and then set off."

Originally thought that this search would be fruitful, but so far, except for a gun, they have found nothing.

"If you want me to say that they were eaten by the mountain god." Da Kui said during the meal.

"If we walk for another day, can we get to that place?" Si Xuanyi asked.

"We can't make it, our progress is not fast." Da Kui shook his head.

"Speed ​​up the progress, why did we get there earlier, finish this time earlier and go home so early this time." Si Xuanyi sighed. To be honest, he was already tired of drilling the ravine, but the task was there and he had to do it.

When they set off, the sun had not yet risen, and the road became more and more difficult as they went into the mountains. In fact, there was no road at all, and they just walked through the gap between trees and mountains.

As we go deeper into the mountains, there are more and more animals, big and small, meat eaters, and grass eaters are everywhere. These things are not afraid of people, and there are even a lot of them. They are curious and look at them from a distance. For the mountains and the animals in the mountains, they are the real outsiders.

"It is said that there are gods in the mountains, if you want me to see less of those weird things, as for the gods, I don't count on them." Zhao Chenggong is always the most talkative one.

"What's so good about this place where the birds don't shit? If I can leave this mountainous area and go to a big city, I will definitely never come back." Dakui said disapprovingly, "I wanted to take my sister into the city, but the devil came. Yes, I was forced to hide back, but I didn't expect there are still devils here."

"What are you doing in the city?" Li Siming asked.

"I used to be a clerk, a dyer, a rickshaw puller, and later a foreman, carrying big bags at the pier. I had more than 30 brothers under my command. I had a lot of fun in that area. If it wasn't for the war, I would have wanted to do something by myself. I saved all my capital and started a small business, but the devils came and spent all my money in order to escape from the city." Dakui said with emotion.

"As long as people are alive, money can be earned back." Si Xuanyi said, "Don't worry, if you want to do business, I will give you the money when you get back."

"That's a good relationship, thank you boss first, but the war is in turmoil, and it's hard to do anything. I'm afraid I won't be able to pay you the money in a short time, so let's forget it and wait until the situation is better."
