Indiana Jones

Chapter 382 Re-entering the Mountains (02)

This black water pool was much bigger than they had expected, like a huge ink pool, exuding a very strong strange smell, and there were small waves in the water from time to time, which caught their attention. Obviously there was something in the water, but the water was too dark for them to see, so they were wary of this place in their hearts. It should not be a good thing for something to survive in this dark water.

"This bird place looks weird, everyone be careful." Si Xuanyi stopped everyone who was about to get closer and take a closer look.

Ye Feng ran back from the front: "There is a road near the cliff on the side of the pool."

At noon, everyone turned their attention to Tan Lin. He was the only one who had been here, so they used to look for him when they had any problems.

"Uh..." Tan Lin was a little embarrassed, hesitated, and told the truth after a long time. He had indeed been to this place, because he was too young at that time, and the elders only watched him from a distance, and did not approach In this black pool, he didn't have any accidents when he saw the elders climbing the cliff to collect herbs, so he felt that this place was relatively safe.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone felt chills. They thought that there would be someone who knew the geography leading the way, but now it seems that it is not that simple. Tan Lin's deepest is only to reach this pool. No one knows anymore.

"Then are you sure you can get out here?" Li Siming asked.

Tan Lin quickly nodded: "Yes, yes... My grandfather said that if you walk along this cliff, you can leave Ziyue Valley from the other side. He once walked through it once when he was young."

"You didn't tell the truth." Si Xuanyi gave him a hard look, "If there is any mistake, you are the only one to ask."

"But even if we can pass, this road is not so easy to walk, the cliff is too close to the pool." Ye Feng said, pointing in the direction of the cliff.

"The water level was not so high when I came last time. There is still about five feet of space under the cliff. The water level must have risen recently." Tan Lin started sweating on his forehead. He knew he hadn't told the truth to let everyone He was very annoyed, but he had no malicious intentions, he just wanted to choose a feasible route.

"Things happened so many years ago, there must be some changes here?" Si Xuanyi said, "I hope this road can still go on."

At this time, Lin Feng ran back from Tan Bian: "I found out, there are black fish in the water, the size of a palm, so it's nothing to be afraid of."

"There are fish in this kind of place too? Can't you eat it?" Someone spoke later, and Si Xuanyi noticed that these two people were Ma Dian and Yu Xiaozhong from the local military command, and they talked a lot.

"Don't talk so much nonsense." Yu Xiaozhong noticed that Si Xuanyi looked over from his side and poked Ma Dian.

"Captain..." Ma Dian didn't care, instead he looked over at Si Xuanyi, "I want to be a pioneer."

It turned out that this kid deliberately made loud noises to attract attention, and he wanted to show off his abilities.

Yu Xiaozhong felt that this kid was too extravagant, so he stabbed him, signaling him not to be too prominent, but Ma Dian looked at Si Xuanyi indifferently.

Si Xuanyi nodded: "Of course, I don't know you well, and I don't know what skills you have. If anyone is willing to recommend himself, I welcome it."

No one spoke. Obviously, the rest of the people were more cautious. Most of them were not unwilling to show themselves, but they didn't understand and trust the biggest official from the headquarters, so they didn't dare to reveal too much.

Si Xuanyi also handed over Ma Dian to Lin Feng. Lin Feng was the vanguard of the whole team, and it was more suitable to hand over to him.

"Lin Feng Ma Dian leads the way, and Ye Feng postpones." Si Xuanyi clapped his hands, and withdrew everyone's attention, "Let's go right away, don't stay here for too long, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time."

Everyone set off immediately, and it was even more impossible to ride horses when they arrived at this place. The bank of the Black Water Pool was very narrow, and only two people could pass side by side. And yes, even if there is no means of transportation, at least there are horses to help them carry equipment and luggage to ensure that they can move forward without a load, which can save them a lot of physical strength, increase their marching speed and reduce physical exertion.

The road next to the water pool has many rotten leaves, which are seriously rotted due to the abundance of water vapor. Many places are a mess of mud, and it is hard to step on it. It can be said that it is very difficult to walk, but they have no way to retreat. I can only move forward, and I have no choice but to step forward on this smelly mud.

After traveling like this for nearly an hour, the pool was too big, and because of the smog, they couldn't see how much road was left, even Tan Lin didn't know, after all He just heard about it, he didn't go through it, everyone can only continue to walk forward, although the taste is not very good, but at least there is no trouble, it is nothing more than a little tired after walking a little bit, but it is not difficult bear.

"It smells worse than a latrine." Ma Dian was eager to try, but after he started walking, he found that he couldn't keep up with Lin Feng.

"Just explore the way, don't talk nonsense." Lin Feng warned him in front.

"Is this kid a bit flamboyant?" Lu Guozhang, who is also a member of the local military command, followed Yu Xiaozhong and whispered.

"He has his plans, he wants to take this opportunity to be transferred to Chongqing, that's why he behaved so actively." Yu Xiaozhong replied, "It's also for his official career, after all, no matter how good he is here, no one will know, if transferred to the headquarters , then he will definitely rise faster than us."

"He's doing it for his future, so he doesn't want his life." Lu Guozhang said, "We all know how difficult this mission is. How many people can come back alive?"

"So..." Yu Xiaozhong looked around and no one was paying attention to them, so he said in a low voice, "We have to make plans early, even if we don't desert, we shouldn't be too stupid, we brothers have to take care of each other..." He put the word "take care" The two words are very heavy. Obviously, they are two words with deep meaning. Of course, Lu Guozhang understands what he means. After all, they are outsiders in this team, so they dare not not do their best, but they have deep hearts. There are self-preservation ideas everywhere. If they are really caught in a hard battle or life and death, they will definitely plan for their own life and death first. Although they are all interested in going now, they still haven't found a chance, and they dare not be deserters. They know better than anyone how powerful they are.

"Hurry up, you two." Dong Biao in front greeted them, "What are you muttering about? What time is it? Can you talk when you have something to say?"

Si Xuanyi looked back after hearing their voices, Lu Guozhang quickly smiled awkwardly, walked a few steps to follow, Yu Xiaozhong sighed, led the horse and followed, but at this moment, his The horse's hoof slipped through the mud, slipped on the stone, and slipped into the water. Originally, this was considered a problem. It is normal for a person to stumble and a horse to stumble. He pulled the rein and planned to pull the horse out, but he just pulled After a while, the horse suddenly jumped up, with a long neigh, and a kick kicked him into the water. Suddenly, the accident occurred, and everyone was caught off guard. The horse rushed forward, and immediately two more people crashed into the water inside.

All of a sudden, the whole team was in disarray, the horse rushed forward like crazy, and rushed out of the team before they could react effectively, or Lin Feng in front reacted quickly, jumped up and grabbed As soon as the rein was turned on the horse's back, the rein was pulled violently, but the horse jumped and jumped like crazy, knocked him hard on the cliff a few times, and finally he couldn't stand it anymore, let go and jumped off the horse to gallop After leaving, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although they were quite frightened, they were fine. It was a false alarm, and only three of them fell into the water.

"Pull them up." Li Siming ordered others to rescue them. In fact, it was not a big deal. It was just falling into the water. At most, he could drink a few sips of water and suffer from the wind and cold. There was no danger of his life.

But at this moment, they realized that something was wrong. The person who fell into the water seemed to be nailed in the water, and he kept thumping but couldn't move an inch. The black water all over his head and face looked very scary , except for Yu Xiaozhong who fell into the water and was pulled up, the remaining two people, without exception, could only thrash but couldn't speak a word. This scene was very strange.

"Pull them up quickly." Li Siming also sensed that something was wrong. In fact, without him calling, someone had already thrown out the rope that had just been taken out, but the two of them had no strength to grab it, so they had to make a noose to wrap it around. But only one person was pulled up, but the scene in front of them made everyone feel horrified. They saw that person was dry and dark from the chest, as if he had been drained of water. The state is similar, but because the comparative level pulled up has only one leg, the state is miserable, and it hurts so much that I can't even hold it down.

"What's going on?" Si Xuanyi asked Tan Lin loudly.

"No... I don't know." Tan Lin stammered, "It didn't happen when I came last time."

Si Xuanyi ignored him, and immediately went to ask Li Siming who was checking his injuries: "How is it? Are they seriously injured?"

Li Siming shook his head at him, meaning it was too much, Si Xuanyi looked at the pool of black water and cursed in a low voice, but no one heard clearly.

"Hurry up and get out of here." Si Xuanyi said to the others, "Be more energetic."

At this time, they have no other way to go back, it is impossible, they can only bite the bullet and continue to move forward.

Everyone was terrified. What is in this pool?To be so powerful, to make people look like that in such a short period of time?

They didn't dare to stay longer, and set off immediately. They didn't feel anything at first, but after this incident, they really felt like they were walking on thin ice, and they were afraid that their feet would not be stable and they would slip directly into the pool.

But as soon as they left, an unusually long black tentacles suddenly stretched out from the already calm pool, wrapped around a horse's thigh and pulled it towards the pool. The strength of the tentacles was so strong that the horse was already half-submerged in the water in an instant, but it was still struggling. He kept screaming and howling...

"Da da da..." I don't know who fired first, and then there was a loud gunshot. Everyone fired one after another, and the bullets rushed towards the thick tentacle. After being shot, a lot of ink flowed out from the wound. The green juice came, and the tentacles seemed to have no feeling, still slowly dragging the horse into the water, and finally disappeared, leaving only a circle of ripples...

"Fuck you..." Lu Guozhang threw all three grenades into the water, and a water column several meters high exploded in continuous loud noises. A tentacle with a length of three meters was blown off and flew into the air. Exposed in front of the public, it fell into the water and disappeared after an instant, followed by the half of the horse floating up. The horse disappeared from the belly down, and the fracture was as neat as a knife. , the half horse tossed and tumbled in the water, then sank again.

"What the hell is this?" Everyone present was terrified, almost standing with their heads leaning against the cliff, trying to stay away from the black pool of water.

"What does it have anything to do with you? Go, go quickly." Si Xuanyi immediately greeted everyone, this place is more dangerous than they thought, staying for just one more minute will make it more dangerous.

"This is too powerful, a horse just dragged down like this." Ma Dian wiped the sweat from his brow with panic on his face.

"Why isn't it a mountain demon?" Lu Guozhang was also quite frightened. Just now, he threw those grenades out of the screen with all his strength, and now he is too scared.

"Save all the energy of talking and let me hurry up and move forward. If anyone wants to die, he can stay here and don't drag others down." Li Siming also pushed out the crowd loudly. Everyone knows that there is no danger in this place. But if they encounter a second attack, their losses will be even greater. The only way now is to pass through this damn place as soon as possible and stay away from this pool. No matter what is inside, they are not something they can and should contend with. The first is Without that strength, secondly, there is no need to compete with this thing, and the environment does not allow it. The most important thing they should do now is to minimize losses.

The group of people is almost running forward, but the more anxious the road becomes, the more narrow it becomes, and this is exactly what they don't want to see, the closer they are to the pool, the more dangerous it is, everyone walks Everyone was terrified, they couldn't run, they couldn't ride a horse, they were anxious and tired, and everyone was sweating profusely.

"Don't panic, hold on, get ready, and fight with it at any time." Si Xuanyi quickened his pace and reminded the others loudly, "No matter what it is, it's not so easy to eat us."

"Actually, we don't have the strength to fight it at all." Someone said behind trembling.

"That's why we have to go fast. That thing may not be able to leave the water, otherwise it will come up long ago. As long as we can stay away from the pool, we can ensure safety and move faster." Li Siming said.

At this moment, there was a sound in the pool, the black water was tumbling, and several long tentacles stretched out of the water and came straight to his door...
