Indiana Jones

Chapter 494 Re-entering Wonderland (05)

The exchange of fire between the two sides was very intense, but the battle didn't last too long. After all, no one could find any sense of security on the top of the tree. The other party withdrew when they saw that there was nothing to gain. Si Xuanyi and the others were relieved. He breathed a sigh of relief, but he also knew that he could not walk on the top of the tree. If he went on like this, he would be killed. Although it would be very troublesome to walk back to the ground, not to mention the slow speed, it would be easy to get lost, but it was better than walking on the ground. It is relatively safer here. In fact, they also know that as long as they are calculated by others, it is the same above and below. It is easier to be ambushed at close range, but it is not easy to be found below. But for the same reason, it is also difficult for them to find the enemy. , in short, whether it is above or below has its own advantages and disadvantages, it depends on how you choose.

"Go to the ground...At least we have to leave this area before going up. We are being watched by people, so we can't let them find out." Si Xuanyi said decisively. He knew very well that the enemy might already know where they were?If you continue to walk on it, you will probably be ambushed again.

Ye Feng weighed the knife in his hand. He didn't care if he walked up or down, but it took a little effort to go down. After all, it was his job to find the direction and open the way.

Li Siming climbed back to the tree to observe the situation. While confirming the direction, he checked whether there were any enemies active on it. The building complex is not too far away. If you continue to walk on it, you will arrive there in a few hours at most, but if you continue to drill through the forest below, you don’t know when you will get there. After all, walking down is slower. Moreover, it is easy to go in the wrong direction. Even if it can be corrected in time, it is inevitable to take some wrong paths, so it is inevitable to waste time.

Ye Feng swung a knife to cut off a snake that was about to fall on his head. This thing is really annoying. Maybe it is because people rarely see it. The animals here are basically not afraid of them. Even these snakes will swagger from there. They passed by, and even lay on their only way and couldn't leave, what's more, they jumped on them directly to bite them. Although the vast majority of them didn't look like poisonous snakes, they didn't dare to be careless. Because they have never seen many snakes here, they don't know them at all, and they don't know whether they are poisonous.

"The snakes here are too fat, and they can definitely make a delicious meal." Zhao Chenggong looked at the snakes only drooling, with a look of eating.

Hearing his mention of food, the others also felt a little hungry. After all, they had tossed for a long time, but this time they would not face any shortage of food when they came out. All kinds of supplies are readily available, and because of the mules and horses, they deliberately brought some more. When they were on the road, they tried to eat the things they brought back from the wild, and saved the food they brought in to eat during the war. After all, these things are delicious. Convenient and effortless, they can fill their mouths while walking without delaying the journey.

Xiaolu had never eaten this kind of food before, so she was very happy to eat it. After Si Xuanyi told her about the outside world, the little girl was very curious. Si Xuanyi knew that the mountain would not be able to hold her anymore. Or as a guide, she will eventually leave this mountain and go to the outside world. This is her destiny as a person with a special status in this race. If this ancient hermit wants to change her destiny, she must leave this place. Dashan, go back to the world. If you continue to live in seclusion in this mountain, the final outcome can only be extinction. Si Xuanyi very much hopes that after experiencing this incident, he can effectively impact their ancient thoughts and let them They can leave this place and return to the outside world.

"What's there in the outside world?" Xiaolu often asks such questions, because she doesn't have much contact with foreign things in this primitive mountain forest, so she can't ask specifically about the outside world that she has never seen before. past things.

"There are a lot of delicious food that you have never tasted, fun things, colorful worlds, and of course there are battlefields for killing. The kind people also have hateful faces. Compared with your tribe, the outside world is more sinister, but these Evil also sets off the beauty of the outside world, because this is how the world is, beauty and evil coexist, this world is also mixed with yin and yang, black and white are reversed, but after all, it cannot cover up the integrity of the heart and the beauty of the world, and the world is tired of the vulgarity outside I have repeatedly wanted to live in seclusion in the mountains, so this is the paradise for you, but in these years of constant wars, it is not safe to live in seclusion in the mountains. You have lived in this mountain for hundreds of years, and the little devils still come." Li Siming was quite emotional Said, "That's why, the happiness you want is that you can live the life you want to live comfortably."

"What you said makes me want to go back and live a life of 30 acres of land with a cow, and the child's wife is hot." Zhao Chenggong also sighed after hearing it, "After I go back, the children at home will definitely not know who I am."

"Brother Zhao, you changed your mouth three times a day. Yesterday you said you had a lot of good friends. Today this baby has come out, and there is really no truth." Fang Yuanshan was already immune to Zhao Chenggong's nonsense, but he still I habitually like to find fault with Zhao Chenggong's words.

"Didn't I say that a good friend and a wife are two different things, who said you can't find a good friend after you have a wife and children?" Zhao Chenggong said confidently.

"Take a break." Si Xuanyi looked at his watch, "Take a break for 15 minutes, eat something, it's convenient..."

Everyone was relieved to hear him say this. They were indeed tired, and hurried to do what they wanted to do, eating, going to the bathroom, and changing clothes. They were busy in their own way. The biggest problem in this forest was The clothes were all torn, and now all the ragged clothes are like beggars. Although they don't care, but they don't have clothes to block those who go to the village and get hooked directly on the meat. Underneath, the animal skins and burlap clothes of Xiaolu and other people are very suitable for walking in this kind of place, and the clothes on them are basically not torn.

"This place is good, but it's too waste of clothes." After Zhao Chenggong tidied himself up, he stood on the side with a gun and picked jujubes to eat. It’s so satisfying to eat sweet.”

"Oh, I can't stop you from eating, can you stop talking for a while?" Ye Feng said annoyed.

"What's the matter, you don't care if you say a few words?" Although Zhao Chenggong protested, he did shut up. He was still a bit afraid of Ye Feng, because he had the ability to convince him.

Si Xuanyi looked at his watch and saw that the time was almost up, so he prepared to take care of everyone and move on. But at this moment, Fang Yuanshan accidentally caught a glimpse of something moving in the bushes not far away, but he didn't care too much, because The little tree couldn't hide people from inside, so he thought it was a small animal, but the next second he found something standing up from there, and he was stunned for a moment, he realized something was wrong, it was a white thing like gauze Something like a curtain floated up quickly...

"Fuck!" Zhao Chenggong also saw that thing, and didn't realize what it was, but the next second Xiaolu exclaimed, "Fairy, ancestral fairy..."

Xianling is the Xiaolu tribe's name for the soul left behind by their ancestors after they passed away. The white ancestors are more pure. They are an existence that has been sublimated beyond life. It is as pure as snow, a white and flawless soul. , only the sages and venerables in the clan can be sublimated into this form, transcending life and death and living in the world forever.

Xiaolu and several other members of her tribe had already knelt down and worshiped, with sincere and sincere expressions.

That thing actually floated over and stayed in front of Xiaolu, like a piece of thin sand, white as snow. Si Xuanyi felt that something was wrong, so he pulled Xiaolu up warily.

"This is the favor of the ancestors... will give us blessings." Xiaolu struggled to kneel down again, but when she looked at the thing, she suddenly rushed towards the nearest aborigine and covered his head. The man trembled all over, then fell to the ground, struggling continuously, but he couldn't make a sound.

"Oops..." Seeing that things were not good, Ye Feng immediately rushed up and swung his knife to pick it hard. It seemed that the thing had grown on that person's face. He immediately inserted the knife in and picked it away, abruptly. The person was dragged out from inside, and the terrifying thing was that the skin on the person's face was gone, almost the entire skull was exposed, dripping with blood, the thing was scooped up from the knife, and it was aimed at Ye Feng in an instant. Kailai rushed towards him again, Ye Feng chopped it with a backhand, and split it in half as easily as cutting tofu, but the thing didn't stop because of this, and the two pieces that landed floated up again Think of him jumping over here.

"Be careful..." Li Siming shouted.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ye Feng turned around and hid behind a tree, he tore off a branch and slapped it on the ground with two slaps, and then beat it continuously. gone.

"Where did you go?" Zhao Chenggong looked around, but he didn't even see a trace of it. The thing disappeared out of thin air.

"It got under the dead grass and rotten leaves." Ye Feng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Xiaolu's clansman was dying, there was no flesh left in the area almost covered by that thing, and the bones had turned black and blue.

"Toxic..." Li Siming checked it carefully, "It can't be done."

"How many mouths are there that can finish the meat so quickly?" Fang Yuanshan was a little scared. He was the closest to that thing just now. If it wasn't for Xiaolu and others who could go up and discount it, he might be the first one to get caught.

Xiaolu and his people were so frightened that they couldn't react at all.

"This is for corrosion, not for food." Lin Feng scraped off some of the remaining liquid on the black skull with a knife, "It should be sucked by it after corrosion."

"What the hell is this place?" Si Xuanyi looked around warily and cursed in a low voice.

"What holy place? I think it's a ghost forest." Zhao Chenggong said while wrapping his head in the torn clothes he had changed before, leaving only two holes in the front.

"Who did you hear? This thing is your ancestor's... fairy spirit? This is clearly a man-eating beast." Li Siming asked Xiaolu.

"It's all legends in the clan..." Xiaolu said while crying, "It is said that only the patriarchs or guides with extremely high qualities have the opportunity to meet the ancestors' fairy spirits and receive blessings."

"How credible are the legends?" Si Xuanyi smiled wryly, "Everyone wrap your heads up..."

"Is this a ghost or a demon?" Zhao Chenggong tidied up his head-wrapped clothes.

"Since it can attack people and eat carrion liquid, it should be a living thing, but I don't understand why it turned into two after being cut with a knife, and nothing happened." Ye Feng smelled himself The knife, "should be highly poisonous."

"Whoever he is... I hope we don't meet again." Si Xuanyi said, "Let's go! Keep going."

This made everyone tense up in the deep scriptures. At first they thought that there were only some wild beasts and those devils in the deep mountains who were difficult to deal with, but now it seems that the situation is not that simple. There are indeed some very dangerous things hidden in this place. And this thing comes and goes quietly, it seems impossible to guard against.

In fact, it was Xiaolu and her people who were most affected by this. This was too different from their legendary holy land, but soon Xiaolu came to another conclusion, that is, they were trespassers, so they should not It is possible to get the favor and pity of the ancestors, but they can only be punished. This is just a warning from the first group. If they continue to move forward, they may have to pay a higher price, but she did not stop because of this. , the reason is actually very simple, that is because she believes that the enemy must be prevented from disturbing the rest of their ancestors. If those enemies really go to the holy place, there will be even greater troubles. If the ancestors are really offended, they will no longer care for them clansmen, then their clan will definitely suffer from annihilation.

Everyone has seen how powerful that thing is, so almost everyone wrapped up their exposed skin. Zhao Chenggong felt that it was not safe enough to do so. He took out the spare gas mask, which was the spoils they seized from the enemy before. At first he thought it was useless, but in the end he took it with him without throwing it away, but it was not enough for everyone. After taking this thing, he felt a lot more at ease, but he soon realized that he was walking in the woods with this thing. , that feeling was really uncomfortable, it was stuffy and hot, and soon it was filled with sweat, just when he was about to give up and take off this thing and put it back into the cloth that wrapped his head, he saw a white thing from his side Floating not far away...
