Indiana Jones

Chapter 423 Desperate Escape (04)

They had really reached the point where they had nowhere to retreat, and they had nowhere to hide in front of the thousand-year-old tree corpse, which rushed towards it ignoring all obstacles, even though the tree crowns could temporarily hold them against the dancing tentacles, But the distance between him and that thing is constantly shortening.

"This is the end..." Deng Chunming shouted in despair. Zhang Weichen and Wu Zhendong were recruited one after another. The interval between them was less than ten minutes. Perhaps it would be his turn next. What could he do in this inevitable place? Sample?They are inferior in both speed and attack power.

"Run...run as fast as you can." Si Xuanyi also had no choice.

"Find... a place to hide." Zhu Xiaofeng said out of breath. In fact, their physical strength is almost exhausted. It has been too long since they came in, and they are already exhausted. How could he still have the physical strength to continue to endure this high-intensity run?
"Where to hide? If there is a suitable... place, is it still necessary to run like this?" The fisherman couldn't think of an effective way.

"If it really doesn't work, let's fight it..." He Kai said harshly.

"What are you fighting for? Hitting your head? You can try it. I support you mentally." Ye Feng scolded, "If you stop, you will die, but if you try, you can still leave a whole body. It won't last a thousand years." Rotten corpse."

"Then what should we do? The end will be the same if we go on like this. It's good if we can hold on for a few minutes." He Kai said, "If I knew it, I wouldn't go down. I'll sleep enough on it. Now, even if I don't get caught in this situation, I won't be caught." I have to live and die."

"I'm so exhausted that I can't let it eat." Si Xuanyi almost vomited blood while running, "Old man, is there any weakness in this thing?"

"I don't know. I only read it in ancient books. If it doesn't work, I set it on fire. But if it is on fire, I'm afraid we won't be able to run away, and we will be burned to death." Now the fisherman is also a big head and two big, there is no way to do it. Thought, even though he said so, he didn’t know if this thing was afraid of fire. Besides, it’s not so easy to set fire in this place. The canopy of this kind of tree is wet, and it takes some time to light it, but where are they now? Sometimes, even if you stop to light the fire, you will end up being caught by the thing before it is lit.

"Then let's gamble..." Li Siming took out the remaining piece of explosives while running, put the detonator and fuze on it, and then threw it on the ground. It takes a little time to explode, so we can only use experience Try, it won't work if it's too early or too late, they won't be able to cause enough damage to that thing, but this is their only chance now, whether they succeed or not can only be left to fate.

As the distance got closer and closer, they couldn't even see where the explosives exploded, because they had no chance to look back. It wasn't until after the explosion that they glanced back expectantly, and saw What disappointed them was that the thing was still behind, and it was very close to them. It had arrived less than ten meters behind them in such a short period of time. The place of the explosion seemed to be behind it. As for whether it was injured It can't see it either.

This is the end... For a moment, all thoughts were lost, they could no longer deal with this thing, and their only hope was shattered...

For a while, everyone lost their strength and couldn't run anymore, but at this moment they were surprised that the thousand-year-old tree corpse suddenly stopped, and its body leaned back as if it was about to fall.

"This..." Si Xuanyi was about to say something when he heard a loud noise, followed by the sudden collapse of the thing's feet, and a large piece of the bottom plate cracked and fell. It turned out that the thing was not injured by the explosives, but in There was a big hole in the floor, and the thing was too big and heavy, the floor couldn't bear it at all, and it split instantly, and the thing leaked straight down, but the countless tentacles it stretched out caught the broken piece. The floor around the edge of the position was stiff and did not fall directly, but it seemed that it was not so easy to climb up.

"Damn it! Is this a crooked attack?" Zhu Xiaofeng didn't expect such a thing to happen, and he felt relieved. At least now that thing has no threat to them, at least in a short period of time. They finally A chance to escape again.

"Well, I finally...gained some time." The fisherman wiped the sweat off his face, and couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. The thing was too heavy, and it was almost impossible to get it up. Sooner or later, they would have to fall. You can also use this time to catch your breath.

"Let's go, this thing's tentacles are too long, be careful not to get entangled by him." Si Xuanyi struggled to stand up, but the others were already too tired to even have the strength to crawl, although they could run forward just now, but this time Once they relax, they don't even want to move their fingers. This change is too big and some people can't react.

"Even if you climb, you have to stay away from here to rest." Li Siming knew very well that this place could not stay for long, but at this moment another thing happened that they never expected. The countless tentacles pulled and grew bigger again, and almost suddenly, a large area including the floor under their feet collapsed, and they fell down together with the huge thousand-year-old tree corpse...

There was a long series of cracking and falling sounds before they had time to react...

Si Xuanyi only felt that he kept rolling and colliding and fell down. When he landed, he was thrown in a mess, his head was smashed, and the wounds on his body also burst open. He couldn't stop coughing for a long time, and it took him a long time to react. He found himself lying on a floor inserted in the ruins, with his head up and down, his belt hanging on the broken stubble of the floor, and his His face was facing a sharp cut in the floor, the distance was less than ten centimeters. If it wasn't for this belt, half of his face would have been cut off by now. After getting it down, he sat on the ground and panted for a long time. Li Siming was crushed by a broken branch not far from him, and his face was covered with blood. He was startled, and quickly crawled over. With a sigh of relief, the thick broken branch didn't hit Li Siming's head directly, it just happened to be tilted somewhere, less than one centimeter away from his head, and the blood on his head should have hit it when it fell.

"Wake up..." Si Xuanyi dragged Li Siming out from under there.

Li Siming finally woke up after vomiting a big mouthful of blood. He glanced at Si Xuanyi and asked feebly, "Not dead yet?"

"It's not that easy." Si Xuanyi said with a wry smile, "It's peace of mind if you die, and you don't have to suffer this foreign crime again."

"How about the others?" Li Siming struggled to get up.

"Others..." Si Xuanyi looked around, but he didn't see anyone except the ruins. "The conditions of the others don't seem to be good."

"Mom..." Li Siming swears, even he himself didn't expect things to turn out like this, "What should we do next?"

"How do I know?" Si Xuanyi smiled wryly, "Let's talk about it after finding someone else."

The two got up from the ground and began to search the smoky place, and soon they found Sun Feng, who was sitting on the side in a daze, looking like he was not injured, but his head was irritated It seems to be a lot heavier.

"Is there still alive?" Someone asked in the smoke not far away, and the voice seemed to be He Kai.

"This way... come here if you can." Si Xuanyi said while continuing to search.

"His grandma, she was almost shot to death." He Kai's voice moved from side to side, and he didn't seem to be injured at all, otherwise he wouldn't be complaining like that.

On the other side, they found Deng Chunming. This kid was not in a good condition. One leg was broken, not to mention his entire chest was collapsed, and he kept vomiting blood. It seemed that he couldn't last long.

"I know..." Deng Chunming understood when he saw their hesitant expressions, "I'm not reconciled...why is it me?" The man who kept breaking his mouth along the way finally cried, sad and desperate, Others don't even know how to comfort them.

"Is there anything else you want to explain?" Li Siming asked.

"What are you going to say... They are all dead... My parents died at the hands of bandits, my elder brother died in the Songhu battle... My sister's whereabouts are unknown... There is no concern in this world... I can't find my daughter-in-law who has never been married... Haha... …Now I finally don’t have to worry about this anymore…” He spat out two mouthfuls of blood when he said this, “Grandma, I’m not reconciled if I don’t see the little devil being kicked out of China…”

Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of cracking sound from the ruins, followed by a series of collapses, and this floor collapsed again. It should be that the floor was smashed during the fall. , coupled with the piled up ruins and the colossal object, even though the floor hadn't collapsed directly, it couldn't bear the huge weight again, so it soon shattered again...

"Go..." Li Siming pulled Si Xuanyi back quickly, but Deng Chunming was wrapped in the ruins and fell directly. Not to mention whether he was seriously injured or not, the process of falling was enough for him. This ruin As soon as they fell, they didn't know what happened to the other people. The two of them sat in the place not far from the collapse and were shocked. If they slowed down a bit, they wouldn't be able to run away.

Now counting the two people we found just now, plus there are only four of them, and the others have disappeared, but this collapse brought down the thousand-year-old tree corpse, so they can be safer here. You can catch your breath.

"This is great. Half of the people are gone all of a sudden, his grandma's." Si Xuanyi cursed.

"Let's search here, other people are probably on the other side." Li Siming said.

"Is anyone there?" Si Xuanyi yelled weakly, he really hoped that someone would respond to them, especially the fisherman and Ye Feng, but Zhou Jingjing said nothing at all.

"Maybe he fainted... Let's go and look for it." Li Siming didn't give up.

Under such circumstances, they couldn't let go of any hope, and they had to look for it before confirming that the other bodies were killed.

"It may have fallen." Si Xuanyi pointed down, but he still stood up and walked around the edge of the hole to the other side. He had to go and have a look, in case someone fainted over there as Li Siming said. .

"The two of you can choose to wait here." Li Siming said seeing He Kai and Sun Feng not moving.

"Don't think about leaving us behind..." He Kai stood up and walked this way. Sun Feng hesitated for a moment and followed. Although this kid was stimulated, he would not become a fool, and he knew very well Should be left here alone.

In fact, this broken hole is not very big, but it is filled with smoke and dust. They can't see the situation on the opposite side. There are scattered debris and branches everywhere, which is very messy, but they can still see the previous appearance of this layer. This is the layer they searched for, and they didn't expect to come back in this way.

"Stay away from the hole, be careful that the tree corpse stretches out its tentacles and drags you up and down." Li Siming warned others.

To their disappointment, no one else was found, and they probably fell with the falling ruins.

"Let's go, find the way to go." Si Xuanyi said, "No matter what, we have to keep going."

"Can you find your way now that Ye Feng is not here?" He Kai asked.

"Have you forgotten where this floor is?" Li Siming looked at the statues of beasts in the distance, "The entrance of the cave we came up to is in the middle of the beasts, just be careful when you pass."

"Poison mask..." Si Xuanyi then remembered that the mouths of those beasts could emit poisonous smoke.

"The speed of coming down this time is really fast, much faster than climbing up." He Kai smiled bitterly. He was holding a bayonet in his hand. When the gun fell down again, he didn't know where it fell. Now that he was able to hold the bayonet for courage, Li Siming glanced at him and shook his head and gave him his pistol, "There are not many bullets, so save it."

He Kai weighed the gun in his hand: "What can this thing do in this place? It's very useful for suicide."

"At least it can make you die happily." Li Siming sighed. This kid is actually quite right. Now there are not many of them, there are not many bullets, and there are no explosives. It is difficult to deal with any emergencies Not to mention the thousand-year-old tree corpse, even if they meet the half-dead people controlled by the mummy, they have no chance of winning. If they meet the little devils, they may have no choice but to escape. A broken gun with not many bullets basically does not have much effect except suicide.

"Damn it, it's better to die, so you don't have to worry about it." He Kai muttered in a low voice, his current mood is terrible, basically it can be said that he is desperate to the end...
