Indiana Jones

Chapter 36

It was scary to suddenly find themselves being watched by an eye so close in the middle of such a dark jungle, especially after the experience that had just left them almost terrified.

Li Siming almost jumped up in fright, and hit his head heavily on the tree root. The others looked in the direction he was looking at just now. Only Ma Zhong saw the eye, but the eye disappeared in an instant...

"Fuck, what is it?" Ma Zhong backed away in fright, but the space was so big that he bumped against the cave wall made of tree roots as soon as he moved his back.

Si Xuanyi pulled the torch in Li Siming's hand, lifted the branches and leaves covering his head, poked the torch out, and jumped out of the tree hole, no matter what was outside, they couldn't nest in it like this. Li Siming and Agui also jumped out from behind, and took a closer look with the light of the torch, only to find that there were more than a dozen half-sized tiger-like things standing in the open space under the banyan tree. These things surrounded them in a semicircle... …

"Tiger cub?" Ma Zhong poked his head out from below.

"Stupid, it's a leopard..." Li Siming raised his gun and tried it before putting it down, because he didn't know which one to aim at, there were too many, and he had no chance to fire a second shot.

"So many..." Agui swallowed and quickly took out the remaining torches, lit them and distributed them to everyone. He didn't dare to act rashly when there were torches in these things.

"What should I do? The torch can't be burned until dawn." Ma Zhong dangled the torch, looking really stupid.

After seeing this, they already understood that it was these things that attacked Si Xuanyi and Li Siming on a rainy night. Leopards are cunning by nature, come and go silently, and are good at night activities. Suddenly jumped down and attacked.

on the tree?Si Xuanyi's scalp tightened and he turned around immediately, just as he saw a flash of yellow light, a leopard jumped down from the tree and threw itself at the back of Liang Rong's head. In his desperation, he kicked her back into the hole without caring about telling her to be careful , and then swung the torch in his hand like a stick and slammed it on the leopard's head. With a crisp sound, sparks flew everywhere, and the leopard scrambled and fled into the darkness.The torch wasn't very thick in the first place, so it was impossible to cause much damage to the leopard, but it was scared away by the flame on it.

The stalemate was broken, and the leopards began to attack. For a while, leopards rushed over from the trees on the ground, and the guns in the hands of several people also fired.
Si Xuanyi dropped half of the torch in his hand, picked up the [-] cover and raised his hand to shoot. The bullet directly passed through the head of a leopard that rushed up out of thin air, and then stabbed another leopard that rushed up from the side with his backhand. He dodged quickly, and at the same time another leopard rushed over. At this time, it was too late for him to turn the bayonet, so he had to hit it with the butt of his gun with his backhand...

The scene was extremely chaotic for a while, with scattered gunshots, screams and leopard roars one after another. The four men leaned on the huge banyan tree back to back and waved their weapons to fight with the leopards that kept rushing up. Ma Zhong's M1911 bullet was very fast. It was almost gone, and he had to rely on a bayonet to resist the attack of the leopard. Liang Rong was trembling in fear in the cave, but she still held on to hold Browning and shot at the approaching leopard. Agui was born as a hunter. Although these things are not experienced, they are somewhat better than others. Si Xuanyi can barely block one side by blocking left and right. Li Siming has already dropped his spear, an M1911 in one hand and a bayonet in one hand. The carcass of a leopard.

After fighting for [-] minutes, the leopards retreated. When all the leopards retreated, a few people sat down on the ground tiredly. Ma Zhong was even worse, his forehead was swept by leopard claws and dripping with blood, the clothes on his chest were scratched, and his flesh was full of cuts. In short, it is not a miserable word to describe them, but we have to say that they are lucky, after all Now they are alive.

"Will they...will come back?" Ma Zhong asked Agui while sitting on the root of the tree with his hands and feet stiff.

"No... I don't know..." Agui was so tired that he couldn't breathe.

"The bullets are almost out." Li Siming checked his M1911.

"Hmm..." Si Xuanyi didn't speak, and put bullets on his [-]th again, "This shit is not suitable for close combat at all. We are no match for bayonets with leopards."

"There are still a lot of ammunition for the long gun, but it doesn't work." Li Siming replaced the last pistol magazine and sighed.

"It's still early in the morning..." Si Xuanyi looked at the dark surroundings, "Ah Gui, get some more things to light up to illuminate the surroundings."

Although it's dangerous, they still have to stay here. It's even more dangerous to drive at night in the jungle. It's better to stay here until dawn. Now they don't care about devils or not.

"Get some ash to stop the bleeding first, the smell of blood is too strong." Liang Rong said while examining the wound on Ma Zhong's body.

"Ah Gui, is there any medicine left?" Si Xuanyi asked.

"There's a little more." Agui rummaged through and only found a handful of herbs, which had been crumbled, but they were still usable.

In this way, they lit more than a dozen torches and a large bonfire under the tree to illuminate the surrounding area. Even so, they could feel that there were still things moving in places where the fire could not illuminate. It seemed that there were many things nearby. wandering...

Liang Rong helped a few people treat the wounds. The leeches on the ground had crawled everywhere, all of which were attracted by the smell of blood. They scattered the remaining ashes around. The hot leeches twisted and rolled, and soon a puff Weird burnt smell.

"Climb the tree!" Ma Zhong said aside.

"Forgot to be attacked by the eagle owl? I don't want to fall down again." Li Siming lit a cigarette with charcoal fire and smoked slowly. By this time, he didn't care about ghosts or not, so let's expose it and die quickly It's better than being so scared.

"Leopards can also climb trees, and they can't use them on top." Agui said, "These bonfires are enough to burn until dawn. As long as the devils don't come, such big fire beasts dare not approach."

"I didn't see how those leopards were afraid of fire just now." Ma Zhong muttered.

"Okay, take turns to watch the night, sleep, and go on the road tomorrow." Si Xuanyi waved his hand impatiently to signal them to stop talking nonsense.

"Do you think we can stick to the place?" Li Siming handed Si Xuanyi a cigarette.

"I don't know." Si Xuanyi nodded and took a deep breath, "But we can't wait to die here."

"I hope you're right." Li Siming was lying on the ground holding a gun and getting ready to sleep.

It was a difficult night, all kinds of strange sounds made them unable to sleep at all, and they didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night when they were exhausted. Even Agui, who was watching the night, fell asleep lazily. When Li Siming suddenly opened his eyes, a dangerous feeling made him shiver. He realized that something was wrong, and the moment he sat up, he saw several black muzzles pointing at them. ...
