Indiana Jones

Chapter 463 Another Journey (12)

I don't know if they are too nervous, but they can always hear all kinds of movements outside, like people walking softly, murmurs that can't be heard at all, like crying, or talking Singing, as if calling for help in panic, it sounded like they were far away, and suddenly appeared near the entrance of their cave, and there were even noisy footsteps of a large group of people passing by. Nervous state.

"What the hell is this?" Zhao Chenggong's back felt numb when he heard it, and he always felt that something was wandering around, even if he was in a cave, he couldn't find a sense of security.

"I don't know..." Ye Feng shook his head, he couldn't figure out what happened, this place is too strange.

The woodcutter leaned aside, closed his eyes and meditated, without saying a word, Si Xuanyi wanted to ask but was too embarrassed to ask.

Si Xuanyi boldly went to the entrance of the cave and looked out from the gap. It was pitch black and he couldn't see anything, as if the whole world had been swallowed up by darkness. The moonlight shining through the thin clouds in the sky had disappeared. In the endless darkness, I don't know what is hidden, it seems that it not only swallowed the whole world, but also covered them layer by layer: "I can't even see the hair...then let him shine..." Si Xuanyi took out a burning stick from the bonfire. He wanted to repeat the old trick, throwing this thing out to take a look at the situation outside.

"No!" The woodcutter opened his eyes, "Some things cannot be seen."

"What do you mean?" Si Xuanyi turned around.

"Some things can't be seen. If you see them, you can't come back. If you want to survive, don't take risks." Obviously the woodcutter didn't intend to explain at all.

Si Xuanyi hesitated for a moment, and finally listened to the persuasion and sat down. This old man never joked. It seemed that the situation they were going to face this time was indeed different from the past.

"Let me tell you something I personally experienced before." The woodcutter leaned forward and sat on the edge of the campfire, picked up branches and fiddled with the fire, "When I was young, I went to the temple in the mountain with my master to offer incense. It was raining suddenly, so I found a nearby cave to shelter from the rain, but I didn’t expect it to rain until midnight, I fell asleep, and when I woke up, the master had already built a bonfire and leaned aside to take a nap, and it was the same outside There was such a sound, I went to the cave entrance curiously to look out, the rain had lightened a lot at that time, but when I saw a group of people walking in the dim light outside, I felt that those people were very strange at that time, and they didn’t light up the black lights. A torch, dressed strangely, a bit like a costume worn in an opera, I thought I met a stage troupe, and wanted to ask them to come in to shelter from the rain, but when I finished shouting to those people and turned around, I saw That's not a human face at all." Speaking of which, he made gestures, as if he couldn't describe the appearance of that thing, but there was deep fear in his expression, and he continued, "I was dumbfounded at the time, but I still didn’t react, and I didn’t have time to be afraid, so I was dragged back into the cave by the master and told me to close my eyes and not open them no matter what happened.”

At this point the woodcutter stopped talking, and the others listened quietly. After a long time, he continued, "I have no master since then."

"Then what happened?" The weak Zhao Chenggong was aroused by him, but he felt that the story he told had no beginning and no end, and the most exciting part was left unsaid.

"If you know what happened, the old man will..." Si Xuanyi said.

"Well... I only heard the call sign and the ghost screaming, the sound was very ear-piercing, and then I passed out... When I woke up, it was already dawn, and everything outside was as usual. At the entrance of the cave, I saw a part of the master... ..."

"What is a part?" Zhao Chenggong didn't understand very well, and he also knew that this was not a story, but the woodcutter's hesitation made him very anxious.

"Master's two hands were on the cave walls on both sides to block the entrance of the cave, but when I got closer, I realized...Master, there is only one piece of skin left..." The woodcutter looked at the fire in a daze, "The situation I will never forget it for the rest of my life.”

"Then you don't know what's going on, do you..." Zhao Chenggong finally understood that the purpose of the old man's words was to keep them from being too curious, and the story was a little scary to hear.

"Actually, it's already blocked, you can't see outside at all, so I won't block it." The woodcutter seemed to see through what Si Xuanyi was thinking, "Don't be too curious, accidents will happen, I'm young When I was young, I was curious about everything, but in the end...forget it, let’s not talk about it.” He seemed to remember something sad again.

"Is it really that evil?" Si Xuanyi felt a little unbelievable.

"Ten years ago... I took a group of people to work in Shandong, and I met bandits who retreated into the cave. The experience at night was similar to today's, but because I was injured and unconscious, I couldn't restrain the rest of the people. Sixteen people in that group came second." There were only three left in the morning, and the three who survived were relatively timid. There was movement outside at night, and some people went out to check the situation. As a result, one went and did not come back, and the other did not come back, so they were left one after another. Three, when we went out to check the situation after the sun came out, we found that the nearby trees were covered with stumps and broken arms, as if they were torn into pieces by wild animals and then hanged on purpose... What's even more strange is that other than being broken into pieces, they were not killed. Eat it." The woodcutter said in his tone, "Some people say that this is the ghost messenger who is escorting the evil spirits back to the underworld and passing through this place, and the living people will be punished for disturbing the ghost messenger, and some people say that it is the ghost soldiers who go out to fight, but no matter what. , the people I have met have not survived, I am a special case, if it is not for the master..."

"Then how did your master block it? According to what you said, it should be impossible for one person to do it." Zhao Chenggong felt strange.

"At that time, I didn't think much about it. When I collected the remains of the master, I realized that he used his own blood to write some strange symbols on his chest. It seemed to be runes to restrain ghosts. That was the only time in my life. Seeing that kind of text that I don't understand at all."

Speaking of this experience, it is indeed unbelievable. Whether it is Qiao Fu's fabricated story or the real story, other people don't know, but after this narration, everyone's attention is diverted from the outside voice. It attracted them, and when they came back to their senses again, they heard the movement outside, but found that there was no sound anymore, as if those things had disappeared.

"Everything that needs to go is gone... Go to sleep, don't worry." The woodcutter breathed a sigh of relief, "It will be dawn in a few hours, hurry up and rest, we have to recover our strength as soon as possible, otherwise tomorrow will be very difficult .”

"Can you still sleep?" Zhao Chenggong yawned. Although he was sleepy, he really couldn't sleep, but he still lay on the side. If he couldn't sleep, he could just close his eyes and rest.

Ye Feng sat up slowly again and listened to the movement outside. Si Xuanyi knew that there must be something wrong, so he followed suit. The woodcutter turned his face to the direction of the cave entrance, and also noticed something abnormal.

"That thing is still wandering around." Ye Feng said in a low voice.

"Fuck, it's not over..." Zhao Chenggong sat up when he heard it, "This is the rhythm that will kill us."

"It seems that they are after us..." The woodcutter sighed, "It's very troublesome."

"I'll go out and have a look..." Ye Feng began to prepare things, "We will never have peace if we don't solve those two things."

"It's too dangerous..." Si Xuanyi immediately stopped him.

"There is no other way, this is a hidden danger." Ye Feng continued to pack his things.

"Will that thing come out during the day?" Zhao Chenggong asked.

"I don't know, but there was nothing wrong yesterday, and I didn't encounter any trouble during the day." Ye Feng raised his head, "If we don't solve it now, we have to wait until tomorrow night, and the night will be full of dreams."

"There are two of them. No matter how powerful you are, I'll go with you." Si Xuanyi said and stood up.

"Your state...forget about it...after I go with you, I have to take care of you." Ye Feng's words were not polite at all. There is almost no big difference between him and Lin Feng on this point. Speaking from the facts, it was never because he looked down on anyone.

"It's more suitable for me to go..." The woodcutter looked at Ye Feng, "My old man's skills are not bad, although he is not as good as you, but he won't be a drag on you."

"Old man, you make the two of us a little ashamed." Zhao Chenggong felt a little uncomfortable when he saw that the woodcutter wanted to go out in person. It was really inappropriate for a young man to let an old man take risks, but now he and Si Xuanyi really did There's nothing he can do to help Ye Feng. After he goes out, he really can't do anything except to be a burden.

"Well..." Ye Feng nodded, "If the old man is willing to help, of course I would like to ask for it."

"Hey... I don't want to help. If you die, what will the three of us do? Anyway, I can't deal with that thing alone." The woodcutter said.

"Forget it! If we want to go together, it can be regarded as a support. Even if we can't fight that thing, at least we can use it as a bait and hold a torch or something." Si Xuanyi really didn't want to wait here.

"Otherwise, let's go out and build a bonfire, lure that thing over, and shoot them to death." Zhao Chenggong is also unwilling to pick up ready-made ones here.

"This is a good idea..." Ye Feng suddenly raised his head, and Zhao Chenggong and Si Xuanyi looked at each other, not understanding what he meant.

The woodcutter thought for a while and nodded: "It is indeed a solution."

"Could it be that we really want us..." Zhao Chenggong swallowed.

……

There were more than a dozen bonfires lit in the open space outside the cave, forming a circle, Zhao Chenggong and Si Xuanyi sat in the middle feeling a little uneasy, they had indeed become bait, Ye Feng and the woodcutter had already ambushed each other, waiting for the thing to take the bait , there was silence all around, only the crackling sound of the bonfire burning, except for the vicinity of the bonfire, the rest of the place was completely dark, the two of them had the feeling of being stripped naked and left there for others to see enough, a feeling of being overwhelmed. Don't mention how awkward it feels to be peeping at someone and not knowing where they are at the same time, but they agreed to this idea, anyway, it's too late to regret it now.

"Why do you feel like you're being looked at without clothes?" Zhao Chenggong looked at the darkness nearby, embarrassed.

"Okay, the two of us are here for an exhibition, and he is desperately trying." Si Xuanyi actually felt a little embarrassed, but there was no other way, otherwise he would not sit here, he would rather go and fight with that thing, but the black light is blind , the moment you go out, you have to become the food of that thing.

"Damn it...it's better to be eaten! It's better than exhibiting here." Zhao Chenggong scolded.

The two of them are sitting here, unable to see the surrounding situation at all. Except for the occasional sounds, everything seems to have nothing to do with them. To relieve it, but no matter how hot the bonfire is, it is impossible to see the situation in the distance. Occasionally, there is a noise in the woods, as if something is running wildly in the bushes, and the two of them turn their guns on that direction, but soon there was no movement there, followed by another direction, and they had no choice but to turn around again.

But to their disappointment, there was no thrilling battle scene. There was endless crackling in the woods, but they couldn't see anything except the sound.

"Could it be that they have already fought?" Zhao Chenggong asked.

"How do I know?" Si Xuanyi was a little worried about whether the state of Ye Feng and the woodcutter could really deal with those two things.

But until now they haven't heard the gunshots, it seems that they haven't fought against that thing yet.

Suddenly they heard another roar in the woods, it was the sound of that thing last night, and it was indeed nearby, and then there was a violent crash, as loud as if the whole tree had been smashed.

"Go and help..." Si Xuanyi immediately stepped over the bonfire and rushed towards that direction. Zhao Chenggong hesitated for a moment, and immediately followed. The two of them turned on their flashlights and rushed into the forest almost at the same time. The direction from which the voice came from was not far away. , so soon they rushed to the place, and saw a huge monster squatting on the ground and confronting Ye Feng.

"Don't come over!" Ye Feng immediately stopped them from approaching, but at this moment, the thing suddenly rushed towards him.

Zhao Chenggong raised his hand regardless of Sanqi 21 and shot. The bullet went straight through the neck of the thing, and the thing fell to the ground at once.

"Damn it! Let me come earlier..." Zhao Chenggong didn't expect that his shots were so accurate, and he couldn't help feeling a little elated. He didn't expect the problem to be solved so easily.

Unexpectedly, Ye Feng turned around and ran towards them: "Go! You made it mad."

Just as Zhao Chenggong wanted to ask what was going on, the thing suddenly got up from the ground and rushed towards them like the wind. The shot didn't seem to have any effect.

"If you can't be beaten to death, hurry up..." Ye Feng yelled towards them.
