Indiana Jones

Chapter 461 Another Journey (10)

When Si Xuanyi woke up, it was already dawn. At first, his thinking was in a state of stagnation, as if suffering from dementia. He seemed to see everything in his eyes when he opened his eyes. He didn't respond to other stimuli. He felt Without seeing his own body, he could only see the sky above his head and the slightly taller vegetation on both sides. He couldn't hear the sound or see people. It took a long time for his brain to come alive slowly, and he moved hard. When he moved his body, all kinds of pain returned slowly, his chest was very stuffy, and it hurt when he moved, but he still couldn't remember why he was here.

"Are you awake? Why don't you hear the sound?" Someone spoke, Si Xuanyi moved a bit, and immediately saw Zhao Chenggong's familiar big face!

"Where is this?" Si Xuanyi moved again, feeling his whole body stiff.

"Slow down, slow down..." Zhao Chenggong helped him up and sat down against a stone, "Last night I carried you for more than ten miles, which made me tired."

Si Xuanyi didn't understand, and couldn't remember what happened before. Seeing that he was a little confused, Zhao Chenggong told him what happened last night. Only then did he slowly connect some things and understand what happened. thing.

It turned out that after he was knocked out last night, Ye Feng rescued him. The woodcutter and Zhao Chenggong on the other side were also in trouble, and were also attacked by the same thing he saw, but they relied on the terrain and did not face the thing. Conflict, firing a few shots alternately knocked the thing away.

"Where are the old man and Ye Feng?" Si Xuanyi glanced around, and asked without seeing the other two.

"I went to get water... I'm back over there." Zhao Chenggong turned his head and looked at the side and said.

Seeing that she was awake, the woodcutter checked her for him, and there was nothing serious. It turned out that it wasn't the thing that knocked him out, but that he hit his head on a stone when he fell to the ground.

"What is that?" Si Xuanyi asked while rubbing the back of his swollen head.

"If my guess is correct, it should be a pair of ghosts, also known as Kunlun white worms. Legend has it that they are produced in Kunlun and live near the Nether Yin and Yang world. They exist in pairs and live for hundreds of years. " said the woodcutter while handing the retrieved water to Si Xuanyi.

"A bug? Such a big bug?" Si Xuanyi thought he heard it wrong.

"Who knows? Think about it, have you seen the description of that thing in "Strange Beasts"?" The woodcutter said, looking at the sky that was getting darker.

Si Xuanyi patted his head and seemed to have no impression.

"That thing is very powerful. You are lucky that you didn't get hit." Ye Feng said, "Your gun has been broken in two. If it hadn't been blocked by the gun, your chest would have collapsed now."

"So powerful?" Si Xuanyi still had no impression, he only remembered being beaten into the air.

"It's not surprising that there is anything in this deep mountain." The woodcutter said, "That thing may still haunt us."

"You just said that those things exist in pairs? Don't we face the danger of two attacking again?" Si Xuanyi asked.

The woodcutter shook his head: "I don't know very well either. There are very few descriptions of this thing in ancient books, and I just mentioned it. I couldn't see it clearly last night. Maybe it might be something else. Anyway, We all have to be more careful."

"It would be better if this thing troublesome little devils more." Zhao Chenggong said.

"Why did that thing come to our side? Eat people?" Si Xuanyi still couldn't figure it out.

"Who knows? Maybe it's curiosity." The woodcutter said, "We don't know anything about that thing, so we can't speculate. But be careful, there are many monsters in the mountains, and none of them are good."

Si Xuanyi rubbed his stuffy chest and found something silvery white stuck to his hand, a bit like silver powder, like broken fish scales, and also had a strange smell of residue.

"It's the blood of that thing, isn't it strange? It's not red." Ye Feng saw his doubts.

This is the first time Si Xuanyi has heard of silver blood, all of this is too unbelievable, worms that don't look like worms, blood that doesn't look like blood, or worms that look like beasts that bleed blood that doesn't look like blood, if you don't personally Experience, I really don't want to kill him.

"Where's the guide?" Si Xuanyi found that there was someone missing this time.

"It's gone. It disappeared when we went back. There were signs of a fight in the place where he hid, but we didn't hear the cry for help. It's strange." Zhao Chenggong said helplessly.

"Another inexplicable disappearance." Si Xuanyi frowned. It was too unreasonable for a living person to disappear out of thin air. "Could it be because he was afraid that he would run away?"

The woodcutter shook his head: "It's unlikely, we didn't find any suspicious traces, even if he was scared, he wouldn't have the guts to run around in that situation."

"It stands to reason that he shouldn't be frightened and lose his mind. As a guide, even if he is not familiar with the things here, he should be familiar with the environment here. He should be more aware of how dangerous it is to run around at night than us. He also said that he was born as a hunter. He has also been to this area, and he still has an impression of the general environment." Ye Feng said, "So I think he was probably taken away by something. It is too small for a person in this place. We were in that generation Searched and found no trace of him."

"That's weird." Si Xuanyi frowned, "Although we can continue to follow the trail where the devil came last time without a guide, it's not that convenient after all."

"I have encountered such troubles before I got to the place, and who knows what I will encounter when I go further in." The woodcutter showed a worried expression.

"It's been halfway out, we just ran into trouble this time, so we're luckier than the little devil." Si Xuanyi knew what the others were thinking. In fact, he was also in a fierce ideological struggle. After careful consideration, he decided to continue to Going forward, they have no turning back. If they want to stop the little devil, I am afraid that this is the only way. After going back, there is almost no chance of winning with the little devil. It is better to go to the front and solve the problem. It's a huge risk, they are likely to die in it, but this is not a fatal situation, it is more hopeful than going back and fighting the little devil.

"You take a rest, we will leave at noon." The fisherman has already seen what kind of decision he has made.

"I hope Siming and the others can make good progress. If we can stop the little devil, our chances of winning will be much higher. What we are doing now can be counted as another insurance."

After a short rest, they went on the road again. Without a guide, they can only follow the traces left by the devils last time, but this does not affect their progress. As long as they can follow the ghost-like traces They will get lost, but if something happens and they lose their way, it will be a big test for them.

Si Xuanyi rode on his horse and observed the nearby mountains, but in his eyes, there was basically no big difference between these mountains. There were too many mountains, and they all looked similar.

That night they deliberately found a cave to settle down. What they experienced last night made them dare not camp in the open air. They would rather spend more time finding a suitable place to stay than be afraid outside. The entrance of the cave was sealed with stones. A bonfire was built in the back. This way, they felt a lot more at ease. Anyway, no matter what was going to get in, they had to get rid of the pile of rocks first, which was an extra barrier and warning.

"It's all right now, I can sleep with peace of mind." Zhao Chenggong is very satisfied with this place, but he has always wondered why he can't find the cave, but Ye Feng can pass through, inferred from the direction of the mountain and the distribution of vegetation Find out about where there may be caves.

"At night, we should take turns to watch the night. One person at a time is enough." Si Xuanyi lay down on the rocks and looked out. It was already dark, and it was the quietest time of the day. Come out, but he also knows that it won't be long before the place will be lively. I hope it will be quieter tonight, at least there will be no things that disturb their rest. After all, they are already very tired after walking such a long way. After sleeping, no one wants to continue the exhausted journey the next day.

But at [-]:[-] p.m., when the woodcutter was on duty, there was movement outside again. This time, it was not the woodcutter who discovered the situation first, but the restless horses in the cave. Turning around, the sound of horseshoes woke up the sleeping people. The woodcutter also realized that something was wrong. He immediately lay on the rock and looked out. There was a layer of thin clouds in the sky, the stars disappeared, and the moon was only a faint shadow. It was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything. He observed carefully for a while, but found nothing unusual. Ye Feng also leaned over and looked out. After looking for a long time, he said in a very low voice: "Here we are."

The others didn't know what he was talking about, but it wasn't easy to ask, so they just listened quietly. The silence outside made people panic. Before that, they could still hear some wild birds chirping, but now everyone The best thing is to move away from the area, away from the potential danger.

"Two... I don't know if they are the two who hit on our idea last night." Ye Feng continued, and the others understood what he was talking about.

"Are you sure?" the woodcutter asked.

"Not sure." Ye Feng said bluntly, "But this feels the same as last night."

"At least this place is much safer than last night." Zhao Chenggong was not nervous at all, as if he felt that those things could not enter this place.

Si Xuanyi listened carefully to the movement outside, but he couldn't hear anything. However, he knew very well that his earphones were not working, but in this situation, he couldn't give up the idea of ​​looking for any different sounds. After all, they were facing Some kind of threat, and quite possibly a very deadly one.

Suddenly, they heard a sound. It seemed that the stone rolled down from the mountain and landed near the entrance of the cave. It seemed that it was not too small. The horses in the cave began to shrink back restlessly, as if another danger was approaching.

At first they thought it was the thing that had climbed on top of their heads, and they all pricked up their ears to listen for the specific source of the sound, but then there was another loud noise, and the stones piled up at the entrance of the cave shook violently, and many of them slipped from above. It fell down and almost hit them, but it turned out that a huge boulder fell on their hole.

"Damn it, back up..." Ye Feng immediately drove the others back, "They know we're here, and they're throwing rocks at the entrance of the cave."

"His grandma's, he can even hit it with a stone." Zhao Chenggong said while throwing a grenade out, and threw it out from the opening less than half a meter that was just smashed out.

"Your mother..." Ye Feng cursed and pushed several people to the ground.

Almost at the same time, there was a muffled sound outside, and the stones at the entrance of the cave shook, and several pieces slid down. In the brief flame of the explosion, they saw a strange face hanging upside down above the entrance of the cave, long like a horse’s face, but It is extremely ferocious, and has white fluff, and its eyes glow with reddish light...

"Your uncle's, what the hell is that?" Zhao Chenggong panicked when he saw it.

"It's that thing from last night..." Ye Feng shot with a wave of his hand, the bullet hit the gap and a ball of sparks exploded, and under the faint light, that face disappeared...

"Block the hole quickly." Ye Feng immediately got up and moved a few stones to plug them in. The gap on the top was more than half a meter high and the stones were very loose, so they slipped down as soon as they were put in.

Others immediately went up to help, and Zhao Chenggong fired two shots indiscriminately, and finally sealed the opening of the hole, but before they could catch their breath, there was another muffled sound of stone hitting , the entrance of the cave was hit by a boulder again, and the thing smashed hard outside.

"His grandma's..." Zhao Chenggong picked up the gun and put it down again. The mess just now had blocked their previous observation port, and even if he wanted to shoot, he couldn't shoot it out.

"Steady, don't make a mess..." Si Xuanyi stared at the entrance of the cave, and made preparations for the entrance to be closed for a while before he came down and continued to block it.

The things outside were slammed a few times and then there was no movement again. The horses in the cave were still restless, and an uneasy feeling began to fill the air. He ignored them as if they could sense the danger nearby. There were a few more loud bangs, and the thing began to smash violently again, the stone on it slid down to reveal the gray night sky, Si Xuanyi turned around and pulled a burning wooden stick from the fire and threw it out, and the others immediately picked up and scattered it. The stone rushed forward to seal the gap, and the wooden stick that fell on the ground was still burning, and the range of light was not large, but in a daze, they saw a gray-white thing flashing past...

"Wait... Illuminated it again to see what it is?" Zhao Chenggong went back to get the branch, but was stunned as soon as he turned around. He saw what seemed to be standing on the edge of the bonfire in the cave. thing……
