Chapter 383 Re-entering the Mountains (03)

What the hell is this?One or a group?If it belongs to a person, how big is his mother?If it is a group, how many are there?The sudden attack made everyone terrified, but they were all people who had seen the battle, and they would never sit still. For a while, there was a lot of gunfire, and the bullet rain rushed towards those twisting tentacles. After being hit, they still wriggled forward and charged straight at the crowd. Under the dense rain of bullets, several of them were split in two from the middle before slowly sinking into the black water. During this period, another horse and The two were pulled into the water and disappeared almost instantly.

Everyone was completely in chaos, fighting on their own, firing guns in disorder for a while, but they couldn't get out completely. I'm afraid they will be dragged into the water before long if this goes on. Not only people, but also horses are in a panic. After all, they are animals. Not understanding the seriousness, jumping and jumping, rampaging, the scene became more and more chaotic.

"Run, don't be stupid there, run..." Ye Feng held a machete in his hand. At this time, the machete was far more powerful than a gun, and the approaching tentacles were easily cut in two with a single blow, so the few behind Under his protection, no one encountered any attacks. After a short period of confusion, everyone finally realized that staying here was not an option. No matter how dangerous it was, they had to leave, otherwise they could only wait for death.

"Help..." Lu Guozhang was caught by a tentacle and pulled towards the black water. Fortunately, he grabbed a horse's rein in time to stabilize it temporarily, but the thing was so powerful that it still slowly dragged him into the water. The tentacles wrapped around him so tightly that he couldn't even catch his breath, his face turned livid almost instantly, and he couldn't open his mouth again after only shouting, seeing that he was about to be pulled At the critical moment of entering the water, a cold light flashed, a machete flew in the air and cut off the tentacles under him, so that he was not pulled down, and Dong Biao who was next to him dragged him back a few times, so he was not allowed to fall into the water In the middle of the day, Ye Feng pulled out a machete from his horse and loudly drove the crowd forward. There was no way to save everyone's lives here, but to leave this place as soon as possible to have a chance of survival.

"Boom boom boom..." In the chaos, I don't know how many people threw grenades into the water, and the black water was thrown high with a series of loud noises. At that moment, they saw a huge monster under the water , although they couldn't see the whole picture, they saw only a part of the huge black and shiny body exposed in the water. Those tentacles grew on this huge body. The thing was too big to be seen at all. The whole picture, let alone what it is, who would have thought that there is such a giant beast hidden under this black water pool.

The continuous explosions did have a certain effect. Several tentacles were blown off in the loud noise, and the giant beast also began to recede. The few remaining tentacles began to slowly retract into the water.

At this time, the originally narrow road along the shore was in a mess, and everyone was clinging to the rock wall, gasping for air. This encounter really scared them a lot.

"Go, let's go." Li Siming drove the crowd away. At this time, they had no time to think about other things, so they hurriedly left here to talk, so they immediately put the wounded on the horse and hurried forward. Who knows if that thing will come out again? come out.

I just rushed forward a hundred meters and reached the end of the pool, which is only a hundred meters away. If I didn't delay for a while, I might have come out a long time ago, and I could have avoided the attack just now. If I didn't If there was heavy fog and smoke, they would have seen it here and wouldn't have stayed there for too long. It was a coincidence that such a large loss was caused by a coincidence.

This time they lost six people and three horses. Although the two wounded were still alive, it seemed that they couldn't hold on for long. Tan Lin was completely frightened, and Ye Feng didn't even slap him three times. After realizing it, it is probably because of the fright just now, coupled with the fact that he chose this path and was afraid of taking any responsibility, that's why he was so frightened.

"The loss is still tolerable." After they got away from the water pool, they took a short break. Li Siming made a report after having tea for the loss. Whether it was the consumption of ammunition, the loss of personnel, and the loss of materials, they were all within the tolerable range.

"What is that?" Dong Biao was so frightened that he almost peed his pants, especially after seeing the huge body in the water, many people almost collapsed. No one believed that they had escaped, and they were still shaking. There in a daze.

"Old man, what do you think that is?" Si Xuanyi asked the fisherman.

"What about me? Eating more salt for a few years doesn't mean I should know everything." The fisherman said, "There are many monsters in the mountains, and there are too many we don't know."

"This thing is too powerful. It almost wiped out our entire army." Ye Feng wiped the sweat from his brow, "I lost a knife."

"At first, I thought that we just need to be careful of bandits on this road. Wolves, tigers and leopards are not to be feared, but everything is safe, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. If the mountains are full of such weird things, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to reach them. Destination." Si Xuanyi said very worriedly.

"We have come here, we have no turning back, no one wants to go from that place again, let's go forward, at least we have passed the most difficult part." Li Siming said.

"How do you know the road ahead is easy? Maybe it's even more dangerous." Lin Feng said.

"Whether it's dangerous or not is beyond our control. If you don't look at it, how will you know the way forward?" Li Siming smiled. "Don't forget, our job is to deal with danger and impossibility."

The loss of horses is nothing, and the loss of supplies and ammunition is not too great, but it is a pity that those few people died. Yu Xiaozhong was seriously injured and had completely lost his combat effectiveness. It is still unknown how long he can last. After inspection, they found many places on Yu Xiaozhong's body They are all tiny holes, and the blood that flows out of them is black. The fisherman said that this is caused by the blood being sucked out, and it is hopeless.

"No way, it's probably only a matter of half a day." Li Siming said after checking Yu Xiaozhong's injuries.

Si Xuanyi sighed: "Then we can't just leave him here like this. It's not acceptable and unreasonable. Just take it with you immediately. There was a lot of noise just now, and maybe the bandits from nearby will come over too. We Gotta go as soon as possible."

Only after this encounter did everyone fully understand the danger in the deep mountains, and Si Xuanyi couldn't help thinking that every time he went on a mission, it seemed to be like this. Before fighting the Japanese invaders, he had to face the harsh combat environment first. The losses caused by this environment far exceeded their previous expectations, so as long as they overcome the environment and slaughter the enemy, how easy is it?

Before nightfall, they finally left Ziyue Valley, a place that was extremely dangerous for them. They set up camp in a valley outside the valley. The rapid march and encounters of the day made everyone exhausted. It wasn't that they were uninformed when they recovered from what happened to Tan Bian, it was just that the scene at that time was too shocking to accept for a while.

"If everything goes well tomorrow, we can cross the river and reach our destination. At night, we can enter the Japanese army's range of activities." Tan Lin also woke up from the previous shock.

"How wide is that river?" Si Xuanyi asked.

"It's not very wide and not deep. It's a big stream at most, and it can be waded through in some places." Tan Lin said.

Si Xuanyi looked at him: "You have only been to Purple Moon Valley, how do you know what's going on there?"

Tan Lin said: "I heard from the people who entered the mountain before that the deepest place they have been to has surpassed the current position of the Japanese army. It is a pity that these people are no longer there because of the war. If it is not really helpless, I will not. Take the risk and choose this path for everyone.”

"You took such a risk, six brothers have already died in the black water pool." Ye Feng said nonchalantly on the side.

"I'm ashamed to say it, but it's really helpless. The route controlled by the Japanese army is even more difficult, and I'm not familiar with the other places." Tan Lin said somewhat unnaturally, "This is also a desperate act of being forced to do so."

"I hope there are still people around when we get to that place." Si Xuanyi seemed to be less and less confident about what was going to happen along the way after experiencing the incident in the Black Water Pool. This trip was far more dangerous than In their previous missions, although he passed through the hell on Savage Mountain, if the losses here were too great, they might not be able to fight the remaining Japanese troops at all.

"Go back and rest!" Li Siming said to Si Xuanyi after sending Tan Lin back, "It's only been two days, and there is still a day's journey to go. It seems that you have lost confidence."

"To tell you the truth, I don't have much confidence every time I come out. If it weren't for the brothers fighting with their lives, we really wouldn't be able to beat those ghosts." Si Xuanyi smoked slowly and said, "It's a pity that we sacrificed our lives so much outside. Forget death, there are many people who are still plotting against us at home, it is really sad."

"It seems that you are still brooding about the previous things." Li Siming smiled slightly, "But this is also normal. It is inevitable to have some resentment when you are wronged, but some grievances can not be tolerated. The upper class is stupid, and we don't have to give them You can't sacrifice your life."

"Your words are a bit rebellious. I advise you to be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't say it again." Si Xuanyi heard something wrong in his words.

"Don't talk about it, just understand some things in your heart." Li Siming smiled and went back to sleep.

Si Xuanyi shook his head and continued to look at the darkness in the distance and smoke. He knew very well that some things could only be complained about, but even if he complained, he shouldn't be too casual. Said, as for outsiders, he basically doesn't say anything, whether it's the military command or the central command, there are minions everywhere, which is hard to guard against. He doesn't want to be brought in again just because he complains.

"It's cool in the mountains, it's windy at night, go to bed early." Someone said in a deep voice in the darkness, it was Lin Feng, this guy was keeping watch.

"Hmm..." Si Xuanyi nodded, but he didn't seem to intend to leave, and continued to stand there smoking.

"This mountain is not very flat, it's best not to stay outside for too long." Lin Feng came out from the darkness, "Actually, I think what he said is right."

Si Xuanyi didn't understand what Li Siming meant, but he was still a little confused. Under the premise of the great cause of the War of Resistance, he didn't want to and couldn't do too much. Although the upper-level struggle was fierce and he was implicated, he still felt that the job was well done. It's very meaningful, it would be a pity if he gave up, but his character can't tolerate being wronged, so he can't be sure whether he should leave or stay.

"There are some things I have to think about." Si Xuanyi said, "After all, what we are doing now is still a personal matter. Although no one knows, at least we are killing devils and protecting what our ancestors left behind."

"I don't care so much, you go! Take me, that's all you need." After Lin Feng finished speaking, he returned to the darkness, "It was you who got me out of the prison, if it wasn't for you, I would have starved to death long ago , so my life is yours for the rest of my life."

"Seriously, since we are brothers, why should we be polite? We have experienced so many things together, we have already lived and died together, so why should we say whose life is whose? We are all people who can entrust our lives to each other." Si Xuanyi said, "After working for such a long time, we have experienced too many things together. How many times have life and death been on the line. Fortunately, we are still alive? It can be said that I have saved nothing for myself, but I have made friends like you. ,worth."

"The night is cool, the homesickness is sleepless, the heart is broken, the wind is blowing lightly, and the sky alone hates the bandits, so why not be afraid to kill yourself and go to the country, blood is splashed on the battlefield for the safety of the people, and you will not return to the place of children's joy for ten years, tears flow twice, and your temples are like frost ..."

Si Xuanyi followed the prestige, but saw that there seemed to be a figure in the darkness. Although he couldn't see it clearly, he had already identified it as a fisherman from his voice: "The old man is so poetic..."

"Under the clear wind at dusk, the bright moon shines on the mountains and rivers. It's just an occasional feeling." The fisherman said lightly.

"From the meaning of this poem, it seems that the old man has not returned to his hometown for a long time." Si Xuanyi approached the ground and lit a cigarette.

"It's been more than 20 years. I was in the prime of life at that time. Now I'm an old man. Even if I go back, I don't think I will see many old friends." The fisherman looked at the half-curved moon in the sky, "If you feel emotional occasionally, don't laugh at it."

"Why didn't you come back?" Si Xuanyi asked.

"I can't help myself." The fisherman replied simply, "I am the only one of us three old guys who can jump around, one is not here, the other is seriously injured..."

"If you were in a peaceful and prosperous age, your age would be full of children and grandchildren." Si Xuanyi said, "The Central Plains has been at war for nearly a hundred years. When will there be a peaceful and prosperous age?"

"What? Can't see any hope?" asked the fisherman, smoking a cigarette.

"There is hope, but it's very slim. Even if the Japanese are beaten away, the war will inevitably continue. I don't know how many years it will take to calm down this chaotic situation. It's not that I don't have confidence, but I just feel..." Si Xuanyi sighed Tone, no more words.
