Indiana Jones

Chapter 426 Desperate Escape (07)

The tentacles of the thousand-year-old tree corpse are really everywhere. If you don't pay attention, there will be a surprise attack. Sun Feng is dragged into the canopy in an instant and disappears. The others don't even have a chance to react. Almost none of the people targeted by that thing came back alive, even if they wanted to save them, it was too late.

"What the hell... what should I do?" He Kai shouted, but he jumped into the downward hole all of a sudden, and ran away by himself.

"Damn, you really have no loyalty." Si Xuanyi cursed angrily.

"This way..." Li Siming was the first to go out.

Si Xuanyi, you also raised your big knife and followed. When you went around the canopy, you saw Sun Feng being dragged far away, and dragged into the bigger canopy on the other side. That was the direction where the voice came from just now. To think that the thing had extended its tentacles so far to attack them.

Sun Feng was struggling in vain, but it was useless. He was quickly dragged into another canopy and disappeared. Si Xuanyi and the others continued to chase. At this time, only the rescuers were left. Thoughts, these people are also companions who once fought side by side with them, so we can't just let it go. In addition, if we continue to lose them one by one like this, I'm afraid they will soon fall into the final desperate situation. Only one or two of them can't survive this kind of ghost. Those who live in other places need not only help but also companionship to survive here.

This is a bit cold-blooded or selfish, but the situation is true. No matter what the reason is, at least they went to save people. They knew that they couldn’t do it. If they succeed, they are brave, and if they lose, they are extremely stupid. A big gamble in exchange for the lives of the two of them in exchange for one of them, although it seems extremely stupid, but at least it can be regarded as courageous, it is ten thousand times better than that kid He Kai who just cares about running for his life regardless of others.

When they turned around the crown of the largest tree, they finally saw the whole picture of the thing. The thousand-year-old tree corpse was waving countless tentacles not far from them, but what was different this time was that those It seems that most of the thick tentacles have been broken, which may be caused by repeated falls, and now stretched out, these seem to be new growths, and the body of this thing is covered with countless mummies, no... those mummies fell on it. It was on his body, and it was already swollen all over his body, like sarcomeres, which looked very disgusting.

"Your grandma..." Si Xuanyi got goosebumps all over his body when he saw it. Could it be that these mummies are attacking that thing?

"Where's Sun Feng?" Li Siming looked around but couldn't find Sun Feng.

"It's stuck in the canopy." Si Xuanyi pointed to a stretched tentacle not far away.

"Pa..." Sun Feng was dragged out of the canopy with the sound of a branch breaking. He was still holding on to the disconnected rifle. It seemed that he used the rifle to forcefully lay in the middle of the branch. He tried to fix himself, but in the end he couldn't resist the huge pulling force, and the rifle was pulled in two abruptly.

Almost at the same time, the countless tentacles danced like the two of them rushed towards them. The two swung the big knives in their hands and slashed wildly, but they were able to resist for a while, but the thing was indeed tough enough. Although the knives in their hands It is sharp, but it is also difficult to cut it off. One of the big reasons is that they are not strong enough.

"Let's go..." Sun Feng grabbed a branch and said to them in despair. He was already entangled by several tentacles one after another, and there was no way to get out by himself. But the bayonet had already been stuck to his body by the rattan-wrapped Lao Lao, and he couldn't pull it out at all. Seeing Si Xuanyi and the others struggling against those fluttering tentacles, Sun Feng was desperate, he knew It was impossible for him to get out alive. Under such circumstances, it was difficult for Si Xuanyi and the others to protect themselves, let alone save themselves. For a moment, all thoughts were lost, and all desire to survive disappeared.

Si Xuanyi didn't speak, why didn't he want to leave, but now he really couldn't, it seemed that his choice was not brave, but stupid.

At this moment, something that no one expected happened, the crown of the tree above Sun Feng's head moved, and a man covered in blood jumped down from above, swung the long throw in his hand and cut off the few knots that were entangled with Sun Feng. It happened so suddenly that Sun Feng couldn't react at all, he fell heavily to the ground, and even forgot to get up.

"Let's go soon..." said the man.

"You..." Sun Feng immediately recognized that it was the fisherman's voice.

"Let's go..." the fisherman roared and rushed towards Si Xuanyi and the others with a knife in hand.

Only then did Sun Feng realize that he got up and ran, not caring about 21, let alone whether other people were safe or not. He was so frightened that he didn't have the guts to help save others.

Si Xuanyi and the others had already seen the fisherman, and they were happy, but they couldn't escape.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened to them. The tumor-like mummies on the thousand-year-old tree body jumped down one by one and rushed towards them.

The fisherman brandished the big long knife in his hand and hacked all the way, finally rescued them: "Go!"

Si Xuanyi and Li Siming turned around and ran with their knives upside down. At this time, they knew the consequences of continuing to entangle them. Anyway, Sun Feng was already saved and there was no need to waste time here.

After resisting for a while, the fisherman also withdrew, and followed them to rush down the opening. The three jumped down one after another. The following and Kai were dragging away Sun Feng who was lying on the ground. Fortunately, he dragged him in time, otherwise he would be the first Li Siming who came down had to crush Sun Feng to the ground.

"Hurry up..." the fisherman shouted at them before he landed, "That thing is following."

Before he finished his words, something jumped down from it, it was the mummy that fell from the body of the previous year. Now this guy has sucked fat and plump, and it looks more like a person. It turns out that it is all wrinkled and dry. The skin has swelled up, but it is still glowing black and red, as if it has been revived after sucking blood.

Si Xuanyi was the quickest to react, swung the long knife in his hand and slashed at it, and slashed it diagonally from his shoulder, splitting it in half.

"Run, run..." The fisherman had already run far away, calling them loudly.

"What the hell is this?" Li Siming asked while running.

"How the hell do I know, run away." The fisherman also looked terrified.

A few people ran wildly, they didn't know what it was, could this mummy really be resurrected by sucking blood?
"Follow me, don't fall behind, we can't come back to find someone." The fisherman ran all the way ahead without any intention of waiting for them, and everyone could only continue to grit their teeth and run forward. More of that kind of thing had already jumped from above. They chased after them all the way down, life and death were hanging by a thread, they could only run wildly all the way, fortunately they had a fisherman leading them all the way forward, and they didn't lose their way in this messy place, they ran forward for more than a dozen Minutes later, when everyone was exhausted and out of breath, they finally found the way to the next floor. Several people jumped down one after another. Everyone was lying on the ground and couldn't get up, panting like a bellows.

"No!" He Kai clutched his stomach and huddled there, tossing and turning in pain. Under such a violent run, he had already lost his breath. Of course, it's not a big deal, just take a rest.

"That thing..." Si Xuanyi panted, "Did it live on the thousand-year-old tree corpse?"

"I thought about it carefully..." The fisherman sat up from the ground, "Do you still remember those... coffins? The ones that crawled out of the mummy before?"

"Is there any problem?" Li Siming asked.

"Do you still remember... some things like tree roots, connected to the coffin?" The fisherman leaned aside, "Is there a possibility that those things are connected to the thousand-year-old tree corpse, The reason why those mummies can maintain their vitality for thousands of years should be the nutrients provided by this thing, of course, this kind of vitality is not living like a human, but living in a state of monsters, they are no longer human."

"But it wasn't that big before." Li Siming said.

"Maybe this time I finally have a chance to eat enough." The fisherman shook his head, "Who knows? Who can explain this kind of thing clearly? The world is big and full of wonders."

"How is your injury?" Si Xuanyi asked the fisherman.

The fisherman smiled: "As long as it doesn't die, it's not considered a serious injury. In fact, most of it is the juice from that thing's body, not much of it is my blood."

"That's good...that's good." Si Xuanyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally found someone, he asked again, "Do you know where Ye Feng went?"

"I don't know..." the fisherman said, "I was entangled by that thing and pulled me down. Fortunately, the countless tentacles blocked me, otherwise I would have been flattened long ago. When I came down, I was dragged by that thing for a long time. It’s considered to be escaped, and it’s also considered lucky that I didn’t lose my life there.”

"Then what should we do next? Should we leave here immediately?" He Kai sat up clutching his stomach.

The fisherman sneered and said, "It's not so easy to find them. Besides, can we leave them alone?"

"That thing is too powerful, even if we look for it, we won't be able to beat it. What if they already..." He Kai didn't dare to continue.

"It is said that others may have been recruited, but if it is said that Ye Feng..." Si Xuanyi smiled, "He is as fateful as Lin Feng, and he will definitely not die so easily."

"Even if we want to leave now, we can't. Our current physical strength may not even be able to deal with the kind of mummy before, let alone the kind of ghosts and monsters that have already controlled people. How can we deal with the remaining little devils?" Li Siming said.

In fact, apart from these reasons, their biggest problem now is that they are over-consumed. The tossing just now has almost exhausted the little physical strength that they had just recovered before. It's hard work, the fisherman's condition is not very good, after all, his physical fitness is not as good as before, and it is not easy to survive until now.

"This hole is not well blocked, we have to get away from here as soon as possible, if those things come down, we may not be able to deal with it." The fisherman stood up with the big knife, but his feet were unsteady, he wobbled and almost fell down.

Si Xuanyi asked He Kai for the only grenade: "If it doesn't work, give it a shot, and it will kill as much as it kills."

"Let's go." Li Siming also stood up with difficulty, "It is difficult for us to protect ourselves in our current state. We can go as far as we can while the hole is not opened, and climb as far as we can. No matter how far away, I can’t stay here anyway.”

The fisherman reluctantly took a few steps forward to observe the situation before he said: "At least a distance of two layers must be opened to stay away from those things, but the next layer may encounter the remaining ghosts, so now we are in a dilemma It’s not safe there.”

Si Xuanyi thought for a while before saying: "Stay near the entrance of the next floor, if we encounter trouble, we will go down."

Although this is not a good solution, at least it is a way out. If it is safe here, you can take a rest and wait for Ye Feng and Lin Feng. If there is danger, you can transfer to the next floor in the shortest time.

Si Xuanyi didn't want to mention the process of going to the next floor, because during this process, their speed was not much faster than that of climbing, and they stopped to rest several times, but even if they encountered those weird things on this floor , but at least they can stay away from the thousand-year-old tree corpse. Without the threat of that thing, they can still deal with other things. Although it is dangerous, at least there is a slight chance of winning.

After finding the upward entrance, they almost collapsed on the ground at the same time. They were so tired that they could finally stop and have a rest. Although they knew it was dangerous, He Kai fell asleep without thinking about it. He has a big heart, he is really tired, he can't help himself, he can't control it at all, his body is eager to rest and recover, so he remembered the sound of snoring almost at the same time when he fell to the ground, Li Siming kicked him, this guy turned over He was quiet when he turned around, and Sun Feng was also virtuous with him. This kid also fell asleep without saying a word, and the fisherman leaned to the side also looked drowsy. The two shadows have also reached the point of dizziness. In fact, Li Siming's condition is not much better. Now even if they want to hold on, it is difficult for them not to fall asleep.

"Say something!" Si Xuanyi said to Li Siming in a daze, he didn't want to just fall asleep like this, it was too dangerous, he couldn't just let others slaughter him without guarding against it, right?
"Speaking slowly?" Li Siming had also fallen into a state of half-asleep and half-awake. Although he was struggling to stay asleep, it was indeed a bit difficult.

"Don't shake, just look at... dizziness." Si Xuanyi tried hard to open his eyes.

"I...here, that's not me." Li Siming turned his head, and sure enough, he saw a few dark shadows swaying not far away, as if they were coming towards them.
