Indiana Jones

Chapter 342

Because of the cover of weeds and shrubs, the traces left by the Japanese are intermittent, but they no longer worry about finding those Japanese. They went all the way up and quickly reached the front of Longshou Peak, with blue waves below. On the head are endless pines and cypresses and peaks that cannot be seen at a glance. Large groups of fiery red flowers can be seen everywhere in the wild grasses, dotted with dots and thorns. It is everywhere, the jujube fruit is dense, and the big one is the size of a finger belly.

The most disturbing thing here is the wasps. Perhaps it is because this direction is facing the sun, and the sunshine time is relatively warm. There are so many wasps nesting nearby. Small, each one is as big as an adult thumb. Its body is yellow and red, and it buzzes around. You can tell by its size and color that it is definitely not easy to mess with. There are some animals stung to death by wasps in the nearby grassy jungle. The corpses were all stung to death because they entered the wasp's nest site by mistake, which doubled their psychological pressure. If they ran all the way here and were stung to death by wasps, they would definitely become an unforgettable experience. joke.

Soon they discovered that the road to the south was not as easy as any place they had traveled before. The entire south slope was relatively gentle and the vegetation was very lush, but the strange thing was that most of the places were wildly overgrown with weeds and trees. It only appears occasionally, and the trees in many places are very serious sloping down the mountain.

"There must have been a large-scale landslide here, so the forest here was washed away, or even buried, and the remaining trees tilted, forming a mountain similar to terraced fields; is there a water source on it? Or a pool of water? , something like a lake?" Lin Feng asked Dakui in a low voice.

"I don't know, I've never been here before. The closest I was to this mountain peak was on the hillside about three miles across the lake. At that time we thought we were at the foot of Longshou Peak, but now we realize that it's actually far away. Then you can probably see the situation here, but you haven’t been close, why do you ask?”

"You are looking at the shape of the lake. At the foot of the mountain, there is a long and narrow river bend-shaped depression. It should be the result of water flowing down the hillside to wash away. The water flow finally converges into this lake, but judging from the shape The water flow should not be too large, and there should be a small pool or lake formed by the collection of rainwater on it. It is because of the existence of water that the soil in a certain range is soft, forming such a large-scale landslide, but this The landslide should have been there for quite a long time, otherwise the trees here would not be so thick, do you think it was because of the earthquake that caused the landslide that caused the disappearance of the temple?"

After what he said, everyone's heart was moved. His inference seemed very reasonable. The woodcutter thought for a moment after hearing what he said, and suddenly frowned: "If there is something in what you said, A pool...then the stream flowing down could not be the tears of Longshou Peak...a tear trough? Then this Feng Shui may not be as good as we expected before; why were temples built in such a place back then? Back then, if people could choose this place, they would definitely not pay attention to this detail...unless...there was no such stream or pool back then, it was formed after the earthquake..."

"Well..." Lin Feng nodded, "This is more reasonable, but the problem is that if there was not enough water accumulated back then, how could such a large-scale landslide be formed? Could it be that the earthquake was too strong and caused the mountain to break... "

"I said you two don't think about these things anymore. Are you not tired enough to walk? Let me see when I get to the place. I'll know what's going on after seeing the mountain layout here. Let's go quietly now. There may be something here. Little devil." Zhao Chenggong couldn't listen anymore, he always felt that Lin Feng and the woodcutter were showing off, anyway, the truth is, the place that should collapse collapsed, the place that should be buried should be buried, as for how it was formed, it is so important ?
"Our current position is less than one-fifth of the height of the entire hillside, so there should be a long way to reach Longan's position. The top is completely blocked, and we can't see the situation and don't know the way behind. Will it be as easy to walk as here? The Japanese may appear in any place, so everyone should try to hide their whereabouts and reduce the possibility of exposure. This determines whether we will be ambushed by the Japanese on the road behind, and our lives Everyone should pay more attention to matters that are at stake." After Si Xuanyi gave instructions, he separated the team, and he and Lin Feng led some people to the front, while Ye Feng and Zhao successfully led the other people behind, the two teams Echoing each other and relying on each other, moving forward quickly under the cover of dense vegetation, this Longshou Peak is really too big.They continued to advance like this for nearly three hours and hadn't reached half of the entire mountain. At this time, it was almost noon, and the temperature on the sunny side was indeed higher than other places, and their damp clothes began to change. Dry, although it is relatively easy to go here, but everyone is tired of continuous and rapid advancement, so they have to find a place for a short rest. They are trying to follow the traces left by the Japanese along the way, but in this It's not easy in the dense grass. Most of the time, they walk aimlessly and by feeling, but fortunately, these Japanese are walking all the way to the top of the mountain, at least in the same direction as them, which makes them uncomfortable. I am too worried that I will not be able to find those Japanese after losing their traces. At worst, I will walk a little longer and expand the search area. Although it is easy to say, they are not willing to do this. Consume more of their energy!This is not a good thing for the battle they are about to face.

"It's terribly cold in the morning in this mountain, and now it's terribly hot." Sitting in the shade of a tree in Dachun, fanning the wind with the leaves, it's almost noon and now it's the hottest time of the day. The southern slope is sunny, but it's hotter than in the morning A lot, and with hours of non-stop marching they were sweating profusely.

"The south slope is the most sunny, and the temperature is naturally high." Lin Feng kept comparing the top and bottom mountains, not knowing what he was looking at.

"Boom..." There was an explosion from the top of the mountain. From a distance, they saw a puff of black smoke rising into the air, just above them.

"It's the sound of explosions." Si Xuanyi looked in that direction, "It may be that they found the location of the temple and are blasting the topsoil outside... But the power of the explosion..."

"If the temple is buried underground, it should be difficult to find." Dakui thought it would not be so easy.

"After all, they came two or three days earlier than us, so it's no surprise to find them." Si Xuanyi looked at the black smoke column from the explosion and seemed to think of something, "But... this should be a tentative blast, no It will blow up a hole that is too big, and they have not yet determined the specific location, it is a tentative blasting attempt."

"If the temple is buried shallower and doesn't need so many explosives?" Dachun asked.

Li Siming also looked over there and said: "That way the temple will be washed out when it rains. No one has been able to find it for so many years. One is because it is located in a deep mountain, and the other may be because it is buried too deep and it is difficult to find. Otherwise, it is still difficult to find." Is there any secret at all? It has been dug out long ago."

"From the perspective of distance, it should be within ten miles, but the situation on the mountain is hard to say, maybe it's closer. It seems that we will encounter the secret whistle of the devil in a short time, so we have to be careful." Lin Feng pointed to the other side and said , "The terrain here is relatively complicated and can provide the necessary cover. We will go up the mountain from here. The Japanese will definitely set up lookout posts in such an open place. We must be prepared for this. Once they find out, we will definitely We will be ambushed by them, and we cannot compare with them in terms of numbers or combat power. Once we encounter an ambush, the entire army may be wiped out, so our tossing this time is completely meaningless."

"Well... I understand what you mean." Si Xuanyi nodded, "Just do as you said, and proceed from here in a concealed way; Dachun, go and inform the people behind that we will set off after 10 minutes of rest."

In fact, Lin Feng chose this path because there are more shrubs, overgrown weeds, and small forests that cannot be connected together. This is already quite a good cover for them, although it is more difficult than going up from the front. But everyone knows that taking this road can save their lives. If they can approach the devils quietly and kill them by surprise, and try to kill more than half of their enemies in the first confrontation, their chances of winning this operation will be much higher.

After this departure, no one spoke. The enemy's secret whistle may appear anywhere. They are all veterans who have fought and know how stupid it is to speak in this situation, so there is no need to order, let alone emphasize. The team can only breathe No other sound can be heard.

During the march, they encountered a large group of wild boars. The largest pig weighed more than 200 catties. This guy suddenly appeared from the grass, less than five meters away from them, and then seven or eight wild boars of different sizes appeared one after another. Confronted them one by one, the grass should be a wild boar's nest, their approach disturbed these sleeping guys, and the leading big wild boar jumped out.

Lin Feng, who was in charge of exploring the road, waved his hand and asked everyone to go around. Although this thing is not particularly difficult for people like them with guns, they don't want to shoot in order not to be discovered by the devils. If they want to deal with this thing with bare hands It's not easy, so hide if you can, there's no need to ask for trouble, this large group of seven or eight wild boars are not afraid of people, they stand together and watch them go away without attacking them. No surprises happened.

After walking forward for a short distance, Lin Feng stopped. He waved his hand to tell the others to wait here, and then walked forward alone. Si Xuanyi didn't know what he found when he fell off the ground, so he followed carefully. Seeing Lin Feng squatting on the ground, he seemed to be looking at something. Looking at that posture, he didn't seem to have noticed any danger. When he got closer, he realized that it was a person, a very majestic fat man, who should have died, dressed in ordinary clothes. His clothes were similar to those corpses dressed up by devils that they had seen before. After seeing clearly, he realized that there was something wrong with this person's complexion. It was in a red and swollen state. It was not really fat, but completely swollen. stand up.

"I was stung to death by a wasp, and my body swelled several times. I should have run over from there within two days." Lin Feng pointed to the messy grass on the side and said, "No other fatal injuries were found. The things basically I lost everything, no weapons, no other equipment, only some bullets and grenades, probably in the process of escaping to speed up and reduce the load. I lost all of them. I must have been attacked by Fengqun, but he fled in this direction. I couldn't escape the fate of being stung to death by those wasps."

"The hornets here are very powerful, we have to be careful, especially those who are burrowing around in such dense bushes, maybe they will hit the hornet's nest directly, and in that case, we can't even escape gone."

"Tell everyone to prepare a raincoat. If he really can't run, put the raincoat on and lie on the ground. Wasps can't sting through the raincoat." Lin Feng said while searching for ammunition and grenades on the corpse.

"Well, it's a way." Si Xuanyi nodded, and immediately called home to prepare a raincoat to deal with the wasp attack at any time.

The progress in the mountains was much slower than expected, until around [-]:[-] p.m. when they arrived at the location of the explosion they had seen before. There was only a pit about five meters deep on the ground, which was manually dug after the blast. In fact, they More than one explosion was heard, and it was clear that the Japanese hadn't found the exact location of the temple.

"We should be near the longan, but we are not sure where the longan is. If we can be sure, the temple should not be difficult to find, but it also depends on whether the landslide caused by the earthquake that year will push the temple to a higher place. Going far away, if this is the case, the range will be much larger." Lin Feng observed the terrain, "We must first determine the location of the longan, but the premise is that it will not be discovered by the Japanese."

Si Xuanyi shook his head and said: "You still haven't turned this corner. Our goal is not a temple, so there is no need to be so troublesome. We just need to find the Japanese first. The purpose of this visit is to kill these little devils. If you find a temple, kill them all. If you can’t find it, kill them all. They shouldn’t come to this temple. Regardless of whether this temple is here or not, these Japanese must die..."
