Indiana Jones

Chapter 508 The Altar of Life and Death (09)

Si Xuanyi and the others never expected that there were things that could haunt that man-eating white mist. This thing was indeed a bit exaggerated. After all, in their impression, this thing would melt their skin when touched, even if it could If you snatch people out in time, you will die from poisoning. Basically, you will die if you touch them.

The three of them stared in that direction, trying to see what it was. They could vaguely see that it was a very muscular figure, but this figure looked thick and abnormal. This appearance and its flexible movements Extremely disproportionate.

"Should...it's a person, right?" Zhao Chenggong looked carefully for a long time and couldn't see clearly. The thing appeared and disappeared, and he could probably see the shape of a person, but he couldn't be sure.

"I don't know..." Si Xuanyi waved his hand to signal the two of them to hide. Even if the person who came was really an individual, he had to confirm whether it was an enemy or a friend. However, he still didn't quite believe that there could be something to eat there. What about rampaging in the white mist of people?
It didn't take long for that "person" to break through the fog-like thing and run towards this side. Now they could clearly judge that it was a person from his movements, but how did this person make it so inhuman?They can't even see the original face, but they can probably tell that this person is indeed covered with that kind of black ash-like thing, but can they walk around in that thing with this thing?One must know that Si Xuanyi also went out after being painted with black ash just now, if he hadn't raised the torch in time, he would have been almost attacked by that thing.

That person came very carefully, approaching from here in hiding, as if he hadn't noticed them yet, and finally hid in a ruin not far from them.

"What is he going to do?" Zhao Chenggong showed half of his head and looked over there, then immediately put it back.

"He saw our cigarettes..." Si Xuanyi continued to stare over there, "He came to look for us, but he didn't know if it was an enemy or a friend."

"Do you want to ask? Anyway, three to one, we have the advantage." Zhao Chenggong said while grabbing the burning stick beside him.

"Idiot, do you know if he has a gun?" Xiao Lu scolded him very rudely.

"I meant to ask, but I didn't say to jump out." Zhao Chenggong immediately defended, "Actually, I meant to ask someone alone, and no one went to attack him."

"Okay..." Si Xuanyi really didn't want to hear his explanation.

At this moment, the man's probe suddenly popped up from the side closer to them, and the movement was too fast. I saw him look this way and then put it back: "Zhao Chenggong, you bastard!" Want to sneak attack on me."

"Ye Feng..." Si Xuanyi recognized the voice almost instantly.

"Yes... don't shoot, I'll come out right away." Ye Feng jumped out from behind the wall as he spoke.

"Am I not mistaken? Did you want to be stung by a wasp? How did you become so fat?" Zhao Chenggong looked at it for a long time but couldn't recognize that it was Ye Feng.

"Go away! I'm exhausted." Ye Feng jumped into their hiding place, and the three of them saw that his body was covered with mud, and there was a layer of grass under the mud.

"The grass tied inside and the mud hanging outside." Seeing several people staring at him, Ye Feng explained, "This thing is very troublesome, it will fall off as soon as it dries."

"With this, you can get unimpeded in the stuff there?" Zhao Chenggong touched it and asked in disbelief.

"If only it were that simple..." Ye Feng took off the mud cloth covering his face, "It's mixed with plant ash and other things, otherwise it won't cover the smell of sweat on your body."

"You mean those things can smell us?" Si Xuanyi seemed to understand what he meant.

"That's right..." Ye Feng scraped off the mud on his face, and it took several deaths to figure out what happened; you are not bad, you know how to smear yourselves with ashes. "

"It worked well last night, but it doesn't work now." Speaking of this, Zhao Chenggong shook his head.

"The temperature is low at night, and the activity of this thing decreases. Didn't it disappear after midnight? It's not that these things disappeared, but they hibernated. It should be the most active time near noon now. Is the sweat a lot more than last night? So this little dust is useless." Ye Feng said, "In the past, Xiaolu and the others should have taken advantage of the early morning and early morning to enter this place. This period of time when this thing is not active."

It turns out that this is the case, not that this method doesn’t work anymore, but that the thing may be more sensitive during the day, and they smell too much of sweat, so this little ash doesn’t work, so to speak , what is that thing?Is it possible...

"It should be a kind of bug, but it's relatively small. Thousands of them gather together to form a large white mist... In fact, it's similar to the small bugs we usually see flying in groups in the air. It’s just that it’s so small that it’s almost invisible to the naked eye, and you can only see a big ball when you get together.” Ye Feng took out the water and took a sip and handed it to Xiaolu, “It’s only half a pot of water, you three can drink it evenly. .”

When he said this, Si Xuanyi suddenly remembered the countless densely packed insects called "black hair wind" that he had seen on Savage Mountain, but the insects on Savage Mountain were black, forming a large black mist, and here It's all white, why didn't I think about it carefully?This was almost the same as that experience. Although they were two completely different things, the damage caused was almost the same, except that the white thing was highly poisonous.

"Why do you know that thing so well all of a sudden?" Zhao Chenggong asked.

"I'm not that smart, the old man has come in, he knows this thing." Ye Feng said.

It turned out that this was the case, and several people suddenly realized that although there were still a lot of problems, they could no longer take care of them because they were so thirsty... Anyway, they can finally drink water, although everyone can only drink water. It's a couple of sips, but it's basically a relief to their dry, flaming throats.

"How are the others?" Si Xuanyi asked.

"Hey... I disappeared after running around last night, and I don't know if they are still alive. I was lucky enough to meet the old man. He brought a few people in to support us. I didn't expect that there was something wrong here, and the situation was so chaotic." Ye Feng said, "If I didn't happen to be nearby, and you lit cigarettes twice in a row, I really couldn't find you. In fact, it was just a gamble of luck. I don't know if this is a little devil, so I can only come and see. "

Only then did they realize that the unintentional act of setting off the smoke seemed to have saved their lives. Although Ye Feng's arrival did not increase their combat effectiveness, at least it gave them a way to deal with the white mist worm. It's more important than anything else.

"Where is the old man? Take us there..." Si Xuanyi asked. The old man knew a lot, so he finally saw some hope.

"He has already led people to the final altar in the depths of the Holy Land." Ye Feng said, "We moved too fast. When we received the news from outside, we had already entered the Holy Land. The patriarch had no time to react, but his side There are basically not many people left, almost all of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, but he still drove in with a dozen people."

"What effect can he come in?" Zhao Chenggong glanced at his mouth, "Will this little devil stop as soon as he goes out?"

"With so many outsiders breaking into this place, the patriarch can't be in a hurry." Xiaolu said, "So it's no surprise that the old man came here in person."

"This old guy can't sit still sometimes." Zhao Chenggong shook his head, "I thought he didn't care about anything."

"How is it possible? Our patriarch is definitely not as bad as you said." Xiaolu shook her head firmly.

"Then what is this patriarch worried about?" Si Xuanyi seemed to have sensed the mystery, "Could it be that he revealed the secret here?"

"We don't know..." Ye Feng smiled helplessly, "Don't forget that the people you can help us communicate with effectively are all outside, even if he is willing to say anything, the old man can't understand. "

It was only then that Si Xuanyi remembered that Xiao Lu had been following him, but Yin Lu had already penetrated into the Holy Land and was already in front of them. No one could understand what these natives said.

"Then how do we find them? Did they leave a mark?" Si Xuanyi asked.

Ye Feng nodded: "Of course...we are not so reckless as to leave no way out."

"Hmm..." Si Xuanyi nodded, "That's good, let's rush over as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, let's deal with you first." Ye Feng said, "If you want to avoid these things, you can't do it like this."

Only then did Si Xuanyi realize that now is really not the time to leave as soon as he wants.

"How?" Zhao Chenggong asked, looking at Ye Feng, who could no longer see his true colors.

"It's very simple, make mud, prepare grass ash, water, rotten leaf mud, grass..." Ye Feng said.

These things should be everywhere, but now they lack the most important thing, water...

"I really didn't expect you to have nothing. After all, there is no shortage of water in this place, so I am not prepared. You wait, I will get some water back." Ye Feng was really thinking about their "poverty" They didn't prepare at all, and they didn't expect them to get to this point. This place is not a desert, and it's ridiculous that they can't find water to drink.

Si Xuanyi sighed, and after briefly describing what happened to them last night, Ye Feng expressed his understanding, so he immediately set off to find water, and the others also took the opportunity to prepare the materials they needed, but after more than half an hour, Ye Feng was in a hurry After returning home, it’s not that it’s too far away from the water source, but that the camouflage on his body fell off on the way, and he had to stop and make a new one for himself to repair. The mist bug, as long as it is given a chance by this thing, it will really die.

After the three of them dealt with themselves, more than an hour had passed, and it was the hottest time at noon. At this time, those mist bugs were everywhere, almost covering the sky, floating in the air in groups. , like the white clouds condensed in the first sky, if you don't know, it is indeed a rare spectacle to see him.

"There are still a lot of little devils here, and it seems that some of them have reached the final altar. The patriarch is very anxious, as if he is afraid that someone will touch it." Ye Feng said as he walked.

"The altar is sacred and absolutely inviolable. Of course the patriarch is worried." Xiaolu said.

"Things are definitely not as simple as you said." Ye Feng said, "Perhaps this is the reason why these little devils came here. There must be something somewhere, and this is what your patriarch is most worried about."

"The strange thing is that we didn't hear the gunshots. Could it be that they have..." Zhao Chenggong paused, and then continued with some lack of confidence, "Killed...all the people brought by Yin Lu and Liu Xiaotian?"

"There is such a possibility..." Si Xuanyi actually knows very well that this possibility is very high. Even in this forest, if the two sides exchange fire fiercely, there will be a lot of commotion, but what they heard along the way There were only sporadic gunshots and no sound of large-scale battles, but this does not rule out that Liu Xiaotian and the others have not yet collided with those little devils, or are deliberately avoiding them, or they may all be broken up, and the team is in disarray. For the sake of fighting, that's why the gunfire was so messy. He really didn't want these two possibilities to appear. Even if the first one is to preserve his strength, it means that no one will stop the little devil, and the little devil will easily succeed. That is to say, their coming here has basically lost their meaning. The second option shows that they will face unprecedented losses and stronger enemies, so no matter which one it is, he doesn’t want to accept it. As for other possibilities, it’s not impossible, it’s just a small one. Can be ignored.

In any case, the situation is already too bad. If this continues, they will not be too far away from annihilation of the entire army. No matter whether the little devil will succeed or not, they probably don't want to see it.

"We're trying to find a way to gather other people together as soon as possible. If we continue to fight on our own, no one will be able to leave this place alone in the end. I hope other people can figure out how to prevent this mist bug wisely..." Si Xuanyi said very worriedly .

"This is the experience summed up by the lessons of blood. It is estimated that some people may not be able to figure it out even if they pay a higher price, so I advise you not to be too optimistic. Casualties are inevitable under such circumstances." Ye Feng said, " Not to mention the group that came in with Liu Xiaotian and the others, it’s hard for us alone to get together, and Siming and the others have gone somewhere, I hope he’s okay.”

When it comes to Li Siming, Si Xuanyi is even more concerned. Li Siming is no different from his own brother. The one who has been following him through life and death for these years is his most capable subordinate. I really don't want anything to happen to him. ...
