Indiana Jones

Chapter 498 Re-entering Wonderland (09)

Si Xuanyi also saw that thing floating up, but the distance was too close and there was no way to deal with it in the canopy of the tree. He knew very well that the thing was moving very fast, and they basically had no way to avoid it.

Seeing that thing approaching, Si Xuanyi didn't have time to think about it, so he hugged Xiaolu and rolled directly from the tree canopy. Only in this way could he quickly avoid that thing, but it was also very dangerous, after all, from such a high It's not a joke to fall, but it may be a better choice than being killed by that thing with only bones left.

The two kept colliding and flipping back and forth between the branches, and were quickly knocked to pieces. When falling, Si Xuanyi twisted his body to protect Xiaolu and turned down to bear most of the impacts, but soon He lost his balance and began to toss and turn involuntarily between the branches. I have to say that they were lucky. After falling more than ten meters, they were stuck between the branches. It was scratched several times by branches.

"Damn it..." It took Si Xuanyi a long time to react, and after a closer look, he realized that he was hanging from head to foot in the middle of the branches. Fortunately, he didn't let go and Xiao Lu was still there. She was entangled by a vine, so she was It didn't fall, but he had already passed out from the back and forth impact. He looked around, but he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he didn't see the white thing coming down after him.

Si Xuanyi woke Xiao Lulu up first: "Where did you get hurt?"

It took Xiaolu a long time to realize that she was stuck in the middle of the branches, she shook her head lightly: "I don't know, my whole body hurts!"

Si Xuanyi grabbed the branches beside him to stabilize his body, then slowly turned himself around, and the two of them slowly climbed down from the tree.

Fortunately, the branches and leaves here are lush and covered with vines, otherwise, even if the two of them didn't fall to their deaths, they wouldn't be able to move freely like they are now, and they would lose half their lives if they didn't die from this height.

Si Xuanyi raised his head and looked up for a long time to see the thing, so he was relieved if he followed it down. He didn't know what he was thinking just now, and he chose to roll down directly from above.

"What's the matter?" Xiaolu asked when she saw Si Xuanyi's expression was ugly and not quite right.

Si Xuanyi reached out his hand to touch his ribs, his face twitched, and he seemed to be in great pain: "It seems... It seems that I hurt my ribs, it must have hit it when it fell down..."

"Huh? Hold on." Xiaolu felt relieved after touching it with her hand, "It's not broken, it should be a little shifted..."

"Shi... ah..." Si Xuanyi was about to ask, but Xiaolu suddenly pressed hard, the pain made him almost faint, and a thin layer of sweat oozed from his painful forehead.

"Okay...is it not so painful anymore?" Xiao Lu asked while clapping her hands.

"It's much better..." Si Xuanyi moved a little, and the pain really didn't feel so bad, "You still know this."

"The mules, horses, cattle and sheep in the village were all injured by me and my grandfather..." Xiaolu said proudly.

When Si Xuanyi heard this, he couldn't help but smiled wryly and said, "You actually treat me like a beast..."

"It's a good thing the injury wasn't serious, otherwise I wouldn't be able to heal it..." Xiaolu said.

"Hmm..." Si Xuanyi moved a little bit, and after confirming that there was nothing serious, he said, "Let's go..."

The two got up and continued to move forward. The only thing they could do now was to rush to the ruins as soon as possible and wait there to meet up with other people. Finding someone in this kind of place is not a sensible behavior.

"Do you think we'll find them?" Xiaolu asked as she walked. It seemed that she didn't have any hope. In this kind of dangerous forest, anything could happen.

"It will definitely be..." Si Xuanyi said firmly. He knew that under such circumstances, they must have a reason to continue to persevere. Only by constantly setting goals and hopes for themselves can they have the courage and direction to live. He knew that Xiaolu was worried that they would not be able to get out of this place, but he was also very clear that the situation of the two of them was worrying, but he still carefully comforted this child who was actually only a teenager, even if Xiaolu was young and old, after all, her age was there. Being a child requires comfort and care.

The two trekked through the jungle with difficulty, walking very cautiously, not even daring to make too much noise. The surrounding forest was quiet, but not without other sounds. Occasionally, gunshots came from a distance, although It is impossible to prove whether they are their own people, but at least they can be sure that there are still living people here, so in a sense, they are not alone, but it is difficult to see each other in this forest.

Suddenly they heard a violent explosion, and their feet trembled slightly. It seemed that it was not too far away, it seemed to be tens of meters away, but only the sound did not feel the power of the explosion. Apart from this explosion, they No other voices were heard.

Si Xuanyi carefully identified it, pointed to the other side, and signaled Xiaolu to come with him to see the situation. This might be a chance to find his own people. Also, they had to be prepared to knock down the enemy. After much deliberation, he still decided Go and see, one more person in this kind of place means more strength and more possibility of survival. He can't give up this opportunity.

The two cautiously groped towards that place, not walking fast, but they arrived at that place a few minutes later. The air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, and the surroundings were silent without any sound. Only when the two arrived at the explosion site did they realize that there was a fire. A large crater, surrounded by trees falling down radially, shows the scale of the explosion at that time.

Si Xuanyi knew very well that such damage could only be caused by using enough explosives, but why didn't he see anyone else here?Did they all get blown up?It can't be that there is nothing left, right?

After searching carefully, they did find something. In a fallen tree, they found a piece of fuzzy flesh and blood. The skeleton was so huge that it was impossible to tell what it was, but it was definitely not a skeleton that a human might have. what is it then?Si Xuanyi couldn't help but think of the ghost that almost killed him once. Among the things he had seen, only that thing could have such a huge skeleton.

Xiaolu doesn't think so. In her opinion, there can't be that evil thing in the victory of the rest of the ancestors. Although their tribe has the custom of hunting ghosts for generations, they have never listened to the patriarchs and managers of the past generations. It was mentioned that ghosts haunt this place. As the spiritual holy place of their entire race, this place has always been sacred and inviolable, so how could evil things have the opportunity to invade this place?
Regarding this issue, there is actually no need for debate, and it is impossible to draw any results if the debate continues.

After searching the area carefully, Si Xuanyi and Xiaolu didn't find anything of value, so they had no choice but to leave. They could have taken the opportunity to find other people, but now they found nothing.

The two had no choice but to correct the direction and continue towards the ruins, but this time they encountered the white floating ghost. They called it so because they didn't know what to call it. Although he didn't light a torch, he was holding a lot of branches in his hand. Si Xuanyi patted Xiaolu indiscriminately and then turned around and ran away. The white thing followed closely behind. The two were almost rolling and crawling He ran forward, but the speed was not as fast as that thing after all, and he was chased in a short time, and there was nowhere to escape what he saw. Si Xuanyi turned over and slapped the branch in his hand, but the effect was not good. The leaves on the branches are getting less and less, and the branches are gone, but he has no time to replenish, although he guards a large forest, he doesn't even have a chance to stick a branch...

When the two people I saw were unavoidable, a dark guy suddenly jumped out of the bushes next to them, holding a lot of branches in his hand, and slammed the thing on the ground...

Si Xuanyi was not mentally prepared at all, and was really taken aback. After all, he touched the little devil he saw before in the dark at night, so his first reaction was to touch the gun. He didn't know why this guy suddenly Jumping out, I didn't have time to think about it, I just planned to kill this little fruit first.

"It's me, it's me..." The man immediately raised his hand when he saw him touch the gun.

Si Xuanyi immediately recognized that it was Zhao Chenggong's voice, and then remembered that this kid had fallen into a pile of ashes before, no wonder he was so dark, but after a closer look, he found that it was not as simple as just being covered in ash. This kid seems to have smeared himself so black on purpose, so it's possible that this kid wants to get mixed up with the devils.

"How the hell did you become so virtuous?" Si Xuanyi breathed a sigh of relief, and put down the gun in his hand.

"This thing works..." Zhao Chenggong waved his hand and hurried away, "There are such things everywhere around here, as well as little devils."

As soon as his words fell, gunshots came from not far away, and several people left immediately, Zhao Chenggong led the way, and they walked quickly through the forest twisting and turning for nearly half an hour before stopping.

"Take a rest for a while." Zhao Chenggong said panting.

"What's going on? What about the others?" Si Xuanyi asked.

"I don't know, it's all gone..." Zhao Chenggong took out the kettle and poured it vigorously, "His grandma's is all messed up, I didn't expect to bump into you."

"Did you do the explosion just now?" Si Xuanyi asked.

"No..." Zhao Chenghong shook his head, "I also want to see which bastard is such a waste of explosives. I didn't expect to meet you."

This is strange, besides them, the only ones with explosives here are the kid or Liu Xiaotian and the others?It stands to reason that they should not have so many explosives.

"It doesn't matter so much, hurry up to that wretched place, I think we should be able to join the people who are still alive there, but the little devil may be there too." Si Xuanyi said.

"Why did you make yourself so dark? It's not night, so it's useless to paint so black." Xiaolu asked Zhao Chenggong.

Zhao Chenggong touched his face and even took out a bag of black ash and handed it to her: "Paint yourself black, all over your body, and the white things won't be able to see you."

Si Xuanyi was a little confused when he heard it, and didn't know what he wanted to express, so he asked him what was going on. Zhao Chenggong said that it was actually an unexpected harvest from falling into the ashes before. Luckily, when he was running, he fell into a dog and ate shit. He turned over a long way and didn't get up for a long time. The others didn't care about him and ran away. When he was dizzy and understood, he found that the white thing was in the He circled around him, thinking it was over, he lay on the ground and didn't dare to move, the thing seemed to know that he was here, but it kept circling around him as if he couldn't see him, but even if it turned a blind eye to him, he couldn't move. He didn't dare to move around, so he could only lie there and resign himself to fate, but what he didn't expect was that the things floated away after wandering around for a while.

At first he thought he couldn't see him if he didn't move the thing, until he saw those little devils blacked himself out, and stopped moving when they met the thing, the white ghost-like thing really seemed to be invisible All these black and white people also drifted away.

It turned out to be like this, and Si Xuanyi finally understood, no wonder the little devils were all painted with black charcoal, so it was to avoid that thing.

"This trick is very useful, but the ashes are not easy to get rid of. If you can't watch the fire, it will be a big trouble. It took me a long time to get up to save so much. Don't waste it, put it on quickly, in case that thing comes It will be troublesome." Zhao Chenggong said.

Xiaolu was still dubious, but Si Xuanyi took the thing over without hesitation and began to wipe it on Xiaolu's body. After all, Xiaolu was a girl, and she didn't like to wipe herself like the bottom of a pot, but at this time she didn't He refused, but grabbed the black ash and smeared it on his body, which was very detailed.

Soon they were so black that they couldn't distinguish between you and me. Zhao Chenggong had climbed the tree again to correct the direction. The three of them immediately moved towards that direction silently. Soon they encountered the white ghost again. Sure enough, As long as they don't move, the thing really floats away as if they couldn't see them.

"What the hell is that? It's like a ghost." Zhao Chenggong looked at the white thing that disappeared from his vision and said, although he was terrified of that thing, he never believed it was a ghost.

"I don't know." Si Xuanyi shook his head, "It's probably some kind of unknown creature..."

"Ghosts of the ancestors." Xiaolu said in a low voice, she firmly believed that there were ancestors' souls here.

Sang Er was walking forward when his feet suddenly swayed, followed by a loud noise in the distance, and the whole ground shook, and the three of them couldn't stand still and all fell to the ground.

"Damn it, there was an earthquake." When Zhao Chenggong fell, his head hit the tree directly, and he couldn't get up for a long time...
