Indiana Jones

Chapter 499 Re-entering Wonderland (10)

The earthquake lasted for a few minutes before it ended. Fortunately, they were in the jungle and experienced no other accidents except for the vibration. After everything calmed down, several people got up from the ground, and Si Xuanyi immediately climbed up the tree. Checking the situation, he saw on the canopy that the closest mountain to him, that is, the one closer to the ruins, seemed to have a landslide. The original emerald green mountain had revealed the color of rocks, and a large area of ​​the mountain surface It has disappeared, and there seems to be smoke and white mist rising from the direction of the ruins they are going to, because it is just to the west, and it is not very real under the slanting sunlight, but it makes him feel a little chilly, After all, he couldn't be sure if it was the real smoke or the misty monster that could quickly corrode the flesh like a ghost. Going to the ruins may not be easy.

"How could there be such a big one?" Zhao Chenggong didn't believe that the fog all over the sky had anything to do with that white ghost-like thing. If that thing could grow to be so big, wouldn't it be fine?

"This place is full of weirdness, we'd better be careful." Si Xuanyi was still very worried about their situation, not only the few of them but also other people, what secrets are hidden in this forest?The brats will come here so desperately that they will suffer as well. This is a problem that they must figure out. Only when they figure it out can they formulate better countermeasures and complete this almost impossible task.

"It's the sanctuary of the ancestors, how could it be easy for outsiders to enter?" Xiaolu said, "If the legends are all false, then why do we have to abide by them for thousands of years? No matter what secrets are hidden here, it is not so easy If it is understood by outsiders, otherwise this secret can no longer be called a secret, and it is even more impossible to remain a secret today."

"What your patriarch said is unbelievable." Si Xuanyi said bluntly, "He still has something to say, and it may be very important information. You must have something here, otherwise the little devil would not be so risky. "

"Don't talk about that, shall we go there now?" Zhao Chenggong has never cared about those things that cannot be seen or touched. Anyway, everything is speculation now, and it is nonsense to talk about it here. figure out.

"The past is definitely going to pass..." Si Xuanyi said, in fact, he was still very worried about whether the white mist floating in the air was the same thing as what attacked them.

"No matter what the danger is, we have to go there, whether it is for your people or my people, they are in danger, we must find and rescue them." It's dangerous, but I know I have to go.

"Hmm..." Zhao Chenggong admired Xiaolu's decisiveness very much, "The little girl is right."

"In our family, you can get married at the age of 14, so don't treat me like a child." Xiaolu said very stubbornly. She didn't like Zhao Chenggong treating herself like a child.

"Hey... So you're getting married soon, right? Are you sure you're engaged? Can you consider my uncle?" Zhao Chenggong started to make fun of Xiaolu, but it sounded like a molestation.

"Don't be smug, my husband can't be as reckless, stupid, and thoughtless as you." Xiaolu gave him a blank look, "If I can't find someone I like, I'd rather not marry."

Si Xuanyi sighed, he really wasn't in the mood to listen to these two guys bickering, he was really not at ease, so he climbed up the tree again, and re-observed the situation over there, except for the tree and the thick white Fog, nothing can be seen, but scattered gunshots and the occasional sound of falling stones can be heard all around. It should be that the landslide caused by the earthquake just now has not stopped.

"There were gunshots from several directions...the spread was too wide, and our people might be scattered everywhere." Si Xuanyi sighed.

"It's also possible that the little devils spread over a large area, and we can't tell whether they are our people or the enemy just from the gunshots." Zhao Chenggong said, "This place can not only disperse us, but the little devils also face this problem. "

Of course Si Xuanyi understands this truth, but he is also very clear that such a situation is very unfavorable to them. No matter what the enemy's situation is, what he is most worried about now is his own brothers. What happened to the group of people who came? The only thing I can confirm for those people I brought is that he and Zhao Chenggong are still safe. What about the situation of Li Siming and others?Can Lin Feng and Ye Feng, two perverts, survive in this kind of place?Fang Yuanshan's self-protection ability is too poor. If he is alone, he may have a bad luck. It can be said that there are only a few old people around him. He doesn't want to lose any of them, but the environment they live in is cruel, and they have to face it. In addition to the life-and-death battle, there is also a dangerous environment, so casualties are inevitable, but it is difficult for him to accept losing any one.

They had to keep going anyway, and the ruins were their only chance to join the others.

The sun has already set in the west, the sky has already dimmed, and the night is approaching. They don't know whether there will be greater dangers waiting for them at night, but they will definitely have to walk some night roads, which is inevitable. Calculated in terms of time, it will take at least two to three hours for them to reach the ruins. By then, it will be dark.

After being covered with black charcoal, they were indeed much safer than before. They encountered the ghost-like thing several times again, and indeed they were not attacked again. They kept circling around, as if they had noticed something, but they were not sure. At this time, they could only hold a lot of branches in their hands and watch the thing with full vigilance. Once there was any sign of being attacked Do it immediately, but no matter how dangerous it is, they won't be as passive as you were when they first encountered this thing, and they have a chance to fight back, but it's also quite dangerous to do so.

As they got closer and closer to the ruins, they encountered more and more white things, which made them really suspect that this was the soul of Xiaolu's ancestor who had left his body. Otherwise, how could there be so many things waiting in the ruins? around?Maybe the ruins were the lair of this thing, but they couldn't figure out how the previous patriarch and usher got to this place?Don't they have to face the threat of these things?Or in other words, they are qualified to arrive here and will not be attacked by these things?However, these reasons seemed a bit nonsense to Si Xuanyi and the others. Although they were not atheists, they would never believe it without a reasonable explanation.

"Why are there so many?" Zhao Chenggong muttered in a low voice while watching the white mist floating between the forests from time to time.

"This is the guard of the Holy Land of the Ancestors!" Xiao Lu said.

"Don't talk about it with me, it's useless, you don't know what this thing is, what are you talking about guards?" Zhao Chenggong expressed disdain for this statement.

"Fortunately, these things can't notice us, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come here." Si Xuanyi said, "The gunshots here have decreased. I don't know if the people are exhausted. I hope our people are all right. .”

Zhao Chenggong can understand Si Xuanyi's mood. After all, those are brothers who have lived and died with him, so it is impossible not to worry.

It was getting dark earlier in the mountains than outside, the sky was getting darker and darker, and it was getting darker in the woods, it was too dark to see the surrounding situation clearly before dusk, Si Xuanyi climbed up the tree, and took advantage of his peripheral vision to do the last time He knows very well that once they go in the wrong direction, it will be impossible to reach the ruins. In such a dense forest, they can hardly see anything at night, even if they are separated by a few meters, they may pass by. Although the road is not long, it may be the most difficult to walk in the whole journey. Apart from all kinds of threats, their biggest enemy is the impenetrable forest and the darkness that no one can change.

"How do we tell the direction at night?" This is the question that Zhao Chenggong is most worried about, because he really has nothing to do in this matter.

"Let's go with the feeling..." Si Xuanyi also said helplessly, "The forest here is too dense, and our experience of living in the wild can't point us to the exact direction, especially in this dark situation, it is almost impossible to recognize North, south, east, west, there is no way, hey...if only Lin Feng or Ye Feng were here."

"This is troublesome..." Zhao Chenggong said helplessly.

"I've lived in the mountains for a long time, and I can probably identify the direction, but it's not necessarily accurate." Xiaolu said.

"Really? This is not a joke. If we go in the wrong direction, we will not be able to reach the place where your ancestors stayed." Zhao Chenggong asked incredulously.

"Don't underestimate people. This is the holy land of our ancestors. As their descendant, I will definitely be blessed by our ancestors." Xiaolu said very seriously.

"Damn..." Zhao Chenggong sighed in his heart. Originally, he really thought that this little girl had some ability to distinguish directions in the dark, but now it seems that she is completely superstitious about the favor of his ancestors.

But Si Xuanyi didn't think so. Xiaolu, as an ethnicity who lived in seclusion in the mountains for several generations, might really have some way to move freely in the mountains. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to run so far at night to sneak attack the little devil, let alone To monitor their actions, maybe it was my own wishful thinking. I hoped that this little girl would really have the ability to distinguish the direction and lead them out of the immediate predicament when there was nothing to do. But in this case, you can really try, because this It may be the only straw they can grasp now. As for whether this straw can save their lives, it is up to fate.

"Okay, then you will lead the way... No, you will guide the way, and I will open the way." Si Xuanyi corrected and said, he could not let such a little girl take risks.

"Thank you!" Xiao Lu said gratefully, "But... I can do it."

As a family who has lived in seclusion in the mountains for generations, Xiaolu and her people do have a completely different physical quality from the outside world. From her gestures, it can be seen that she is not like a teenager at all, whether it is strength or agility. The degree is beyond his original age. Except for the childishness on her face, her figure and appearance are not much different from an adult. No wonder there are 14-year-old married women in their race Customs, maybe their race in a harsh living environment has matured earlier than the outside races. Only when they grow up as soon as possible can they have the ability to protect themselves as soon as possible, and they can also reproduce earlier and expand the population of the race. quantity.

As the light became darker and darker until finally they couldn't see their fingers, they finally realized the horror of this place. From time to time, there were ghostly calls in the woods. This sound was completely different from any beast they had ever seen. To be precise, they had no It is impossible to judge what it is. In addition, there are gunshots, explosions, falling sounds, screams, howling...

There are more and more white things like ghosts, appearing in groups, wandering around them all the time, making them frightened, but there is nothing they can do. From the performance of those things, it can be seen that this thing I can feel their existence, but I can't be sure where they are, so they can only move around in a general range and keep turning around. They can only bite the bullet and continue to move forward. This place is too dangerous. Sylphy was worried about Xiaolu's safety. In the end, he followed what he said before, and he walked in front. He got Xiaolu behind to show him the way. No matter what, he couldn't bear to let a child take risks in front of him.

The miserable cry came from the woods again. This time they could hear the screaming from a little devil. Although they couldn't understand it, they could tell that it was Japanese. The distance from the sound didn't seem too far away. The distance is less than 100 meters, but they are not in the mood, let alone the courage to see what happened there. Now they just want to reach the ruins as soon as possible. Maybe there is a chance for them to meet other people, but they soon found out They had a very serious problem, they lost their way, and kept going around in a certain range. Although the environment here was complicated and all the trees looked similar, they still recognized these places they had walked through. After searching carefully, they even found the sign they had left on the tree to serve as a signpost for returning.

"Oops..." Si Xuanyi knew that the situation was not good, but he was not in a hurry to move forward. Instead, he asked the other two people to stop, and while they rested, they thought about countermeasures. Moving forward was just a waste of energy and could not solve the substantive problem .

"I'm sure the direction is correct, I don't know why the text is inexplicably redirected." Xiaolu said a little confused by the light of the torch.

"At least we didn't deviate to a further place. From this point of view, we are lucky..." Si Xuanyi said, "Don't worry, let's take a breath first and then slowly figure out a solution."

"Why do I... always feel that there are people around here?" Zhao Chenggong frowned and muttered softly...
