Indiana Jones

Chapter 419 Ghost of the King's Tomb (12)

When they were busy saving people, the little devil also came to join in the fun. In fact, they did not give up monitoring the surrounding devils, but they didn't expect the little devil to find a route close to the platform so quickly and launched attack.

The grenade fell not far from the fisherman. His first reaction was not to back up or lie down, but to kick the grenade out with one foot, but the kick was inaccurate due to his eagerness. Originally, he kicked the grenade directly. He went out of the platform, but because he was too eager for success, he kicked a little too far, and the grenade flew out obliquely, and was caught back by the fluttering bloodthirsty vines.

"Damn it..." Si Xuanyi never expected such a thing to happen, he could only subconsciously throw himself down, the grenade exploded almost at the same time, and countless blood-devouring vines were thrown into the air by the loud noise However, Deng Chunming and the others were saved because of this. The bloodthirsty vine seemed to feel the pain. After the explosion, they loosened and they shrank back. Because it was too loose, Zhu Xiaofeng and Wu Zhendong suddenly fell to the ground.

The blood-devouring vines were blown off everywhere, and countless red juices spewed out from the wounds, which were really as thick as fresh blood. The air immediately filled with a mixed smell of Chinese medicine and blood. The broken vines that fell on the ground twisted non-stop on the ground like snakes about to die, and the remaining ones all shrank back after the explosion.

The board where the grenade exploded just now was all broken, and a big hole appeared, revealing a dark space underneath...

"The roots of that thing are below..." The fisherman leaned to the hole and looked down. Because it was too dark, he turned on the headlight, and there were all the branches of the blood cherry tree, but it could be seen that it had been cleaned up during construction. , although it grew a little later, it still couldn't fill the space. On a very thick branch, the root of the blood vine was coiled, and countless vines grew out of a cluster of black roots the size of a house. Extending all the way up, he has never seen bloodthirsty vines, and he doesn't know what kind of virtue this thing should grow, but the head is indeed a bit big, and it doesn't look normal, but he can't tell for a while. What's wrong, judging from its location, it's right under the coffin. The coffin seems to be fixed in a position that is completely hollow. It seems that the coffin is completely surrounded by the sticking rattan, which is just attached to the coffin. It doesn't seem to be a big problem when it doesn't move outside. Once people or animals get close to that thing, it will quickly come alive and attack the blood-sucking, and then skyrocket, and continue to spread outward. This thing seems to be the last of the coffin when it was designed. A barrier is placed here, and the reason why it is placed on the huge branch is to allow it to absorb the nutrients of this big tree and survive. As long as this blood cherry tree does not die, then this blood vine will not die easily , it is said that the blood cherry tree can live for ten thousand years. This is the blood vine parasitizing on it, and naturally it will not die easily. In addition, both of them suck blood, so of course they can co-exist. The slow decay and deterioration can no longer be used in the end, but the big tree and the bloodthirsty vine can still survive. It can be said that it is a natural defense system that will not be destroyed for thousands of years. From this point alone, we can see that the ancients used nature to transform Natural ability is indeed not inferior to modern people. This is a confrontation and game with ancient and modern people after more than two thousand years. As modern people, they claim to be more advanced, but they can't take advantage of the ancients. Although they used explosives all the way Coming to this place, it is inevitable that there will be heavy casualties. It can be said that he lost to the ancients more than 2000 years ago. It is really lamentable...

In addition to the roots of the blood vines, the fisherman also saw countless winches and metal wires that criss-crossed, which can be described as dense as a spider's web, but similarly, he also saw a large number of broken metal wires The winch that couldn't turn and some things that crawled everywhere were like roots. He couldn't figure out what it was for a while, but judging from the density of the metal wire, if it fell from here, it might not be cut soon. It was broken into countless fragments, and all this was seen at a glance. After all, he didn't have the heart to study what he was here now. The little devils had already approached, and the most important thing they should do now was to eliminate those devils.

On the other side, Ye Feng, He Kai, and the others had already exchanged fire with the devils below. In fact, the gun battle was not fierce, and it could even be said to be a little scattered. Shooting would only waste bullets, but fortunately, the devil who threw the grenade had already been beaten back by Sun Feng. This severely stimulated guy actually played some role at the critical moment, and the others also quickly retreated to help, condescendingly The devil launched an attack, and the little devil couldn't take advantage of it for a while.

Deng Chunming's injury was not serious. The blood-eating vine drilled several holes in his leg, and the blood was dripping and couldn't stop. In desperation, they had no choice but to tie his thigh tightly with a rope to reduce the blood loss. Fortunately, he was still alive. It is not enough to lose his life, and there are enough people now, so he is not needed to participate in the battle, and he is left behind to rest.

"This little devil is really determined. He hasn't forgotten this thing by this time? Is the thing in the coffin really that important? They don't know how to run for their lives?" He Kai cursed while shooting.

One side of the fisherman said: "If the guess is correct, they have nowhere to go. They can only fight with us, or they can gamble on our luck."

"What kind of luck are you betting on?" Zhu Xiaofeng asked.

"If we catch a few of us alive, there may be hope to get out." Li Siming stepped back to change bullets.

"Few of us know how to get out. Even if they catch them, if they don't catch the right person, wouldn't it be in vain?" Wu Zhendong felt strange.

"How do the little devils know? They must think that if we have the ability to come in, we must have the ability to go out." Li Siming said, "So they pinned their hopes of leaving here on us. From this point of view, the tomb robber seems to have run away by himself. , otherwise the little devil would not take the risk of attacking above."

"Maybe these little devils are thinking about the things here and don't want to leave?" Zhang Weichen said.

"Do you want something in your head?" Si Xuanyi felt that this question was too idiotic. "As long as they can get out alive, they can bring some more people here. Why should they fight with us here? The reason why they did this is because They can't get out by themselves, so they want to hit our idea, it seems that these little devils leave the tomb robbers as a bunch of ruined people, if they have the ability to come in, they can't get out."

"That means these little devils have nowhere to go?" Zhu Xiaochun finally understood what it meant.

"It's a good thing, it saves us from chasing and looking for it, and we'll just sit here and wait for them to fall into the Internet cafe." Si Xuanyi said, "Now we don't have the physical strength to continue running around, so it's good to wait here for work."

"If that's the case, it's really not bad." Wu Zhendong has had enough tossing, if this continues, he will really be exhausted.

"We will find a way to wipe out these devils, and don't let them run away. Once they hide in order to survive, it will be difficult for us to find them." Li Siming is quite aware of the difficulties.

"After all, it's a good opportunity." The fisherman glanced down, "Let's reduce the firepower, let them think that we are running out of ammunition, and we will have a chance if we boldly come up."

"Well... that's true." Si Xuanyi agreed and asked everyone to reduce their firepower.

The devils were really fooled, and started to move forward. Taking this opportunity, Si Xuanyi and the others killed a few more ghosts scatteredly, making the illusion of a final resistance, so that these devils could see the hope of winning, so they could approach with confidence and boldly.

"Do you think they will throw grenades first when they get close?" Zhu Xiaofeng asked a little worriedly.

"Of course... even if they think we have a way to go out, they don't need to keep everyone." Ye Feng said, "One or two people who can lead the way are fine. The others... probably don't need to stay, so just to be on the safe side, They may kill one first, but we are at such a high place, if they want to start, they will probably have to throw the grenade first and then come up to find two more alive."

"We want them to get closer, but we don't just sit and wait for death." Si Xuanyi said, "We are not so stupid as that."

"I really don't know how many little devils there are here..." Li Siming was somewhat worried about this. They could wipe out the devils who came to their door, but there might still be some scattered in the canopy. It is no longer a threat to them, but it will inevitably cause a certain degree of damage to this place. The purpose of their coming here is to protect this ancient tomb that is hard to find in the world, so as long as there is a devil here, it can be said that their task is not good. Even if it is truly completed, the enemy will do anything when they are trapped in despair. Although these enemies cannot go out and bring people to destroy this place, the damage caused by the remaining enemies here should not be tolerated.

"Come up, prepare to fight, and try to kill them all." Si Xuanyi reminded the others, "The more we kill, the easier it will be for us to follow."

"It's impossible to kill them all." The fisherman glanced down and said, "Come closer."

"It's a pity..." Si Xuanyi took out a grenade and looked at it, but finally put it back. He couldn't bear to use this thing in this kind of place. It would be an exaggeration to say that even if he fired a shot here, he would feel distressed for a long time. However, the witness of a thousand years of history cannot tolerate any damage, but in order to protect this place, he has to continue to fight. Fighting is to continue to destroy this place, which is really helpless.

"Fuck your mother, little devil..." Just when Si Xuanyi felt lucky that he could still think of protecting this place under such circumstances, Wu Zhendong threw two grenades in a row... After all, these people belonged to the local military command , there must be no awareness of protecting this place. In this case, it is not easy for them to remember to fight with the little devils, and it is impossible to ask too much of them.

"You..." Si Xuanyi opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Wu Zhendong was confused and didn't know what he did wrong.

"What are you in a daze for? Kill the devil..." Si Xuanyi said angrily. The completion of the task this time is really useless. I hope this time it doesn't destroy the whole place after completing the task like in Sichuan. The possibility of flooding seems unlikely. In this world, how much water would be needed to submerge this giant tree that shouldn't exist?
"I'll take a day..." Deng Chunming was originally resting in the back, but the blood-eating vine just made him die, basically he didn't have any strength to toss him at all, after a simple bandage, the others went to deal with it The little devil, he can only lie down in the back, probably because of excessive blood loss. Although the gunshots here are deafening, he is a little drowsy. In fact, this is a sign of mild coma, because Excessive blood loss from his body made him a little unconscious, but when he was in a daze, he seemed to see something coming out of the place that exploded just now. His thinking paused, so he didn't pay much attention to it, or at all He didn't react, but when he moved, he pressed against the wound, and the severe pain woke him up. Only then did he see countless blood-eating vines protruding from the hole, which were far thicker than the ones that entangled him just now. There are many more, twisting in the air like a group of demons dancing wildly, many of them have been cut off by the metal below, and only half of them are left, but the thing is still trying to get out, but it seems to be stuck by the hole, and for a while Can't get out for a while, struggling there, part of it has already wrapped around the coffin, seems to be using force to drill out, the hole that was blasted is slowly cracking and shattering... and the hole that just drilled There seems to be corpses distorted at the place where the hole came out. It is the kind of maroon mummy that is almost completely integrated with this thing, but some of the corpses that are exposed outside can still be seen as human beings. From a distance, Like a pile of human-shaped bacon hanging.

Deng Chunming exclaimed, and ran back while rolling and crawling. He had suffered enough from this thing.

"His grandma's, what the hell is this?" He Kai was also stunned. He never thought that the moment he turned his head, he would see such a huge monster...

"My God, this isn't some bloodthirsty vine..." The fisherman was immediately drenched in cold sweat, and he suddenly understood what it was, "This... this is a thousand-year-old tree corpse, half corpse and half tree, also called The corpse demon tree can parasitize and absorb the nutrients of vegetation at ordinary times. When it encounters the right opportunity, it can pull any living thing to him and fuse it into one body. After diluting the blood, it will become a part of it forever. The guards of Wang Ling's coffin, the organs below should be to trap him instead of blocking outsiders, run, no one can escape if you are entangled by it, and eventually you have to become a part of it, stay away from him, this thing If you run out, no one will live."

"Let me just say, this place is definitely not that simple." Ye Feng also sensed that the situation was not good.

"Divide into two groups. One group will deal with the devils, and the other group will deal with this thing..." Si Xuanyi knew that the real trouble had just begun. He originally thought that they had already seized the opportunity to eliminate these devils easily, but now it seems that, But they once again fell into the situation of being flanked by front and back...
