Indiana Jones

Chapter 502 The Altar of Life and Death (03)

That foot was bare, without shoes, and icy cold. Si Xuanyi was really startled when he suddenly touched such a thing, but it was only for a moment. Isn't it just one foot? There is nothing to be afraid of. Dead or alive is not the first contact, but he hopes that this is a dead ghost, because only in this way can save trouble, whether it is his own or not, if he is still alive, who can guarantee that he will not go crazy in such a dark environment Woolen cloth?Now that my hands are tied, if that guy goes crazy, maybe something will happen. Thinking about touching this thing in the woods where you can't reach your fingers makes you feel creepy, but Si Xuanyi can be so calm. It's because of his good concentration, but because he has become a little numb to it.

Si Xuanyi was relieved that the guy didn't move, and continued to touch up, hoping to find something usable from his feet and body, whether it was a little devil, his own people, or those aborigines, they all had bayonets and daggers on their bodies. , this was finally a hope, but he soon realized that he was thinking a little too much, because what he touched was only half of a leg, to be precise, only below the knee...

The wound was not neat, obviously it was not cut off, and the most likely to cause this kind of injury in this kind of place was the beast, but what kind of beast would be so powerful?ghost?Or is there something else?
"It can't be solved..." Zhao Chenggong hummed and struggled not far away.

"It's the same for me, I can't find anything suitable for me..." Si Xuanyi finally gave up groping on that small leg, he knew that he couldn't find anything usable if he continued to grope, so he couldn't use his toenails Cut the rope around your wrist?

"You can't even touch a stone in the place of shit." Zhao Chenggong scolded.

"It must be opened as soon as possible. This place is too dangerous." Si Xuanyi simply lay down on the ground and rolled, so that the speed would be faster. He really hoped that he would hit a rock, even a boulder or a rock, but here I couldn't touch anything except trees, shrubs and grass, and the rope didn't open my body, but there were many more holes.

It is really difficult to break the rope in the hand without any external force. The two people kept trying, but they couldn't get what they wanted.

"Damn little devil is wearing a dead button." Zhao Chenggong scolded while groping on the ground.

"They didn't want to let us go at all. After using them, they had to kill us even if they didn't die. We were lucky to find a chance to escape." Si Xuanyi finally touched a harder object. It looks like a broken bone, the stubble is very sharp, I don’t know if it’s from a human or a beast, but at this moment he can’t care about these anymore, and starts to rub the rope vigorously, it’s not very smooth to use, but at this moment he also cares about it. It's not easy to pick and choose, it's not easy to touch such a thing.

It took a long time to finally break the rope, and he touched it to find Zhao Chenggong to help him break the rope. Originally, he wanted to untie it, but after touching it, he found that it was impossible for the black light to do it, so he could only continue. Mo, it took a long time to break it, and the two of them were relieved.

"Is there anything that can light a fire?" Si Xuanyi asked in a low voice, he touched his whole body, everything was searched by the little devil, and he found nothing except tattered clothes.

"They were all touched by the little devil, and only one pair of trousers remained." Zhao Chenggong said, "It's so dark, can we survive until dawn?"

"Dawn shouldn't be too long. We've been tossing around in the woods for most of the night." Si Xuanyi groped to get a stick from a tree as a weapon, although there was nothing to see here. I don't know if I'm close to him, but I always feel insecure with empty hands, and I feel more at ease when I hold something in my hand.

"Then what should we do now?" Zhao Chenggong asked in the dark. It was dark all around and he had no idea. They spoke very carefully and kept the volume as low as possible.

"I don't know..." Si Xuanyi touched the tree beside him, "If we want to be safer, we'd better climb up the tree."

"It's so dark..." While speaking, Zhao Chenggong suddenly heard footsteps, which were very light but not very far away from them.

Si Xuanyi also heard it, and immediately back-to-back with Zhao Chenggong, the two leaned against a big tree at the same time, this was done to avoid accidentally hurting each other in the dark, and at the same time, the big tree could be used to block one direction and reduce the possibility of being attacked. Although they couldn't see anything, they couldn't just give up their resistance.

The two of them didn't speak, and focused all their attention on their ears. At the same time, they widened their eyes and scanned the surroundings, hoping to see something from the thick ink-like darkness, even if it was a glimmer of light, but what did they say? I couldn't see it, my eyes seemed to be covered by a black cloth.They couldn't find anything that could make their eyes focus. This is not the first time they have seen this kind of black, and they have encountered it several times in previous missions, so they have some experience in coping with it, although these experiences are of little use. It has too much effect, but at least it can keep them from being too flustered, keep quiet, and use their ears to catch the source of other sounds, so as to distinguish the direction and the distance of the sound. Maybe this can't get them out of trouble in the end, but it can make them If you make a counterattack at the last moment, you can at least fight to the death.

While these two people were preparing for everything, the footsteps disappeared. I don’t know if they noticed their existence, or they were hiding somewhere to prove the movement quietly, or even some kind of beast. They can be seen in the dark, snooping around and waiting to pounce...

In short, all kinds of thoughts kept flashing in the minds of the two of them, and the helpless anxiety and panic attack slowly hit. Now is the time to test their psychological quality the most. What danger is hidden in the darkness? It is this fear of the unknown that makes them uneasy. The two desperately resist the idea of ​​running away and continue to listen to the movement around them. They know that running now is useless, except to expose Apart from themselves, they couldn't run too far. They didn't know how many times they fell and hit the trees on the way just now. Running now will definitely be worse than before. It's better to wait for work here, no matter who he is Enemy is friend, is it a beast or something, as long as they dare to come over, they will fight to the death with him, the two of them wait quietly like dormant beasts, waiting for any situation that may arise, although they still have two sticks in their hands Now, it's just that in this environment, it's not much different from bare hands. This thing can't deal with wild beasts, let alone devils with guns. The only function is to give them two courage.

Waiting quietly in the dark is definitely a torment. In the pure darkness, there is no concept of time at all. They don't know how long they have been standing, it may be 1 minute, it may be an hour or even longer However, Si Xuanyi knew that they definitely wouldn't be there for that long, because it didn't notice any change in the light in the forest, and they had already confirmed that it would not be too long before dawn, so they probably didn't stand there for a long time. It would be too long, but the strange thing was just standing there and nothing happened, which made them a little unsure what to do.

Si Xuanyi listened carefully for a long time, but he didn't find any movement. Maybe the thing had left, he thought in his heart, but it could also be that it was staring at them in the dark, or the thing couldn't see them either. He wanted to judge their positions from the sounds, but these were all his guesses, and it could even be said that he was thinking wildly, but what else could he do now besides guessing?

Thinking of Si Xuanyi groping for the half of his leg on the ground with his memory, Zhao Chenggong didn't know what he was doing, and didn't dare to ask, so he could only slowly squat down with him.

After touching it for a long time without touching it, Si Xuanyi could only grab a handful of soil and squeeze it firmly, then threw it out with his hands. The mud lump didn't seem to fly far before hitting the tree trunk with a muffled sound. Almost at the same time, The two of them heard a series of footsteps, which seemed to be turning in a hurry, but they disappeared very quickly. The thing was still there, and the two of them were mentally empty again. Could it be that the thing was real? Are you waiting in the wings?
Si Xuanyi roughly recognized the direction from which the sound came from, he slowly grabbed a handful of soil and squeezed it firmly, and threw it in that direction based on his feeling and memory. There was a rustling sound on the clump, and the footsteps came again, as if they were moving rapidly, and disappeared again after a few seconds, and the sound seemed to go a little farther away.

Suddenly the two of them heard gunshots again, and they were very close to them, only tens of meters at most, but there was no light in that direction, could it be a little devil?There seemed to be no one else here except the little devil, and the hearts of the two of them began to feel cold again. This is troublesome. Now they can't leave, and it's not safe to stay. There is really no way to enter the sky and nowhere.

Hearing the continuous gunshots, they seemed to be moving this way, and soon they saw a flash of light in the gaps in the forest. Although it was very faint, they did see it, and they were sure that it was very close to their current position. , the only ones who can use flashlights here are other team members besides the little devil, so they dare not make a sound until the identity of the other party is confirmed. Now that they are unarmed, they will definitely die when they meet the little devil.

The gunfire stopped soon, but the flashlight was still extending to this side. It seemed that those people were coming this way. What's the excuse?Through the faint light, Si Xuanyi roughly glanced at the surrounding situation, but he couldn't see anything other than trees and shrubs, but he vaguely saw something standing beside a tree not too far away from them. , but the time could not be seen clearly. At the same time, the light was more choking than before, and they also heard the sound of messy footsteps.

Si Xuanyi tried his best to pull Zhao Chenggong to hide on the other side of the tree, avoiding the light coming through. When he turned his head to look over, it turned out that the Yingzi under the tree not far away had disappeared, but at this time , he didn't care about that much, and began to focus on the flashlight that was getting closer and closer. Soon, those people with flashlights appeared not far from them. They were in a hurry, and the flashlight was shaking violently, but with the help of the light, they still saw the appearance of these people. Without exception, they were covered with black charcoal, and they could no longer change their identities from their clothes. However, the two people They can recognize at a glance that these are definitely not their own people. Although they didn't speak, they can be sure that this is a group of little devils. There are more than a dozen of them. It should not be the group that captured them just now. Passing by here, I don’t know what they shot just now. The chances of encountering beasts in this kind of place are much higher than encountering people. After all, these mountains are a paradise for beasts, but judging from the current state of these little devils From the looks of it, what they encountered just now shouldn't be a monster like Youdrill, otherwise they wouldn't be able to walk so easily now.

Si Xuanyi and Zhao Chenghong heaved a sigh of relief as they passed Si Xuanyi and Zhao Chenghong in front of their eyes. They were finally not discovered by these guys, otherwise the two of them really didn't know what else to do besides desperately. When these little devils were about to disappear from their sight, a devil found the rope they had just discarded on the ground, and that little devil immediately greeted the others...

The reaction of the little devils was very quick, and there was a series of sounds of pulling the bolts almost instantly. Those little devils quickly used the trees around them as cover to hide, forming a defensive circle in the shortest time, and the guns were aimed at From all directions, just looking at this reaction, you can tell that you have definitely received strict military training and have climax fighting qualities.

It's over... Si Xuanyi's heart skipped a beat, he involuntarily grabbed the stick in his hand, but after seeing the gun in the devil's hand, he couldn't help but put it down again, and he didn't dare to retreat now, the movement would definitely make a sound, and it would be even more trouble.

Zhao Chenggong's body also visibly shook, but then he froze there and didn't move again, as if he was about to fight these little devils to the death.

The two hid in the dark and prepared to fight to the death with the little devil who had searched for them!

The little devils who had just passed by quickly turned back, one of them seemed to be the leader, took the rope, looked at it, smelled it again, raised the flashlight and scanned it, then threw it on the ground and muttered, He turned around and left, it seemed that this guy didn't take it seriously.

The rest of the little devils froze for a moment, raised their flashlights to take photos of the surrounding area, but finally left, which made Si Xuanyi and Zhao Chenggong a little overwhelmed.

This is really surprising, but it's normal, right?After all, the little devils are not in the mood to search now. They seem to be rushing somewhere, or fleeing, and they are not in the mood to waste time here.

After the little devil left, the surroundings fell into darkness again. Si Xuanyi quickly groped in one direction from his memory, but he still bumped into a tree. At the same time, he heard movement on the other side of the tree, and immediately turned around and jumped In the past, almost instantly, he felt that he had caught something one by one, and he used the force of his pounce to press that thing under his body...
