Absurd deduction game

The people who stayed in the cave once again confirmed that there were no big gray worms hiding in the cave, and then took off their soaked coats one after another.

I had already gotten my clothes wet once when I jumped into the river before, but the water was clear, and after running for most of it, it was nothing. However, the rainwater in the mountains is a bit dirty, and when it falls on your hair, it will feel itchy and sticky. Very uncomfortable.

Yu Xing took off his jacket and long-sleeved T-shirt, wearing only a sleeveless sports vest. He found that he was out of place among a group of muscular people.

He himself is not particularly thin. Although he is light in weight, this lightness is more or less related to his special physique. His bones are less dense than ordinary people.

This is why he moves particularly dexterously.

So he already had muscles on his body, but among this group of muscular men, he actually looked particularly slender.

"That's outrageous... Who said that tomb robbers have to be so strong?" Yu Xing was a little unconvinced and muttered something in a low voice. He would be reduced to the same level as Aili here.

Aili obviously doesn't think so. Aili thinks San is more valuable than her.

As a doctor who is "able to fight", Ellie cares deeply about the only frail human in the team. Not only does she show a vague expression of pity when she sees San doing manual labor, but she also pays special attention to San's psychological condition, for fear that he will feel abused. isolated.

Now, everyone was resting against the cave wall and taking out food to replenish energy. Only Yu Xing didn't eat, so she came over with a delicate frown and reminded: "San, eat something, otherwise you will not have enough energy later."

Yu Xing was just not hungry. He felt that Ai Li had a tendency to shine her motherly glory on him, so he stopped her coldly in time: "I'm not hungry. I will eat when I am hungry. Thank you for your concern."

He dismissed Ellie and turned his attention to the cave wall.

Although the cave walls were rough and covered with moss, he still tried to find some kind of mark in them.

Before, he could see that there were traces of artificial laying of grass at the entrance of the cave. Firstly, it meant that someone had been here before, and secondly, it meant that the time when the previous team rested here was not far away.

If that team and Brother Sun's team encountered the same situation, were hiding from someone, or something happened temporarily, they would most likely leave marks for their companions to identify.

Yu Xing searched for more than half an hour, but couldn't find it yet, so he gave up.

It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, and there was a rustle at the entrance of the cave. Everyone immediately became alert, only to find that it was Finley.

Finley was wet as a dog, threw the branch in his hand into the hole, sat down and breathed heavily: "Damn it...I'm so exhausted..."

Everyone asked for help, and happily lit the branches and started the first round of warming up.

"Where are Brother Sun's poems and wine?" Luke asked casually while twisting his clothes.

"There are too few branches available, so we separated. I guess they will come back soon." As soon as Finley came back, Yu Xing was not so abrupt, because Finley was also a "skinny" one in this team. One type, he is lean and agile, more in line with Yu Xing's imagination of a tomb robber.

Yu Xing felt that the others were not like tomb robbers, but like mercenaries.

Under Brother Sun's instructions, Scar wanted to take good care of San, the painter. He remembered his boss's instructions and set up a simple shelf. Instead of baking his own clothes, he took Yu Xing's T-shirt to bake first.

Yu Xing enjoyed the VIP service leisurely and contentedly. He touched the painting tube buckled at his waist and felt the comfortable touch from the surface of the painting tube. Sure enough, not long after, Brother Sun also came back.

Everyone in the cave rested for a while, regained their energy, and gradually became lively. They were nervous due to the big gray worm before, but now they were finally safe. They seemed to have forgotten Ade's death, talking and laughing loudly.

"Where are Shijiu and Thorny Tou? Are they lost?" Scar has already returned the dry clothes to Yu Xing and is baking his own clothes. He feels a little strange that so much time has passed.

"That's right, after all this time, nothing will happen to them, right?" Aaron was also a little worried. He asked Brother Sun, "Brother Sun, are the four of you leaving separately?"

Brother Sun's face was a little serious. He glanced at the quiet team members and said, "Not long after we left, we separated. We agreed not to go too far. Later, when I returned, I looked for it and found no one. , I thought I was the last one to come back.”

It was getting warm in the cave, but there was a slight chill in the hearts of everyone in the team.

"I didn't see the flare and didn't hear the call for help. What's going on?" Luke had a beard and looked very ferocious. But after just a few hours of getting along, Yu Xing saw that he was actually the most powerful person in the team. The pure one.

"Did something really happen?" Ai Li became confused.

"How about I go look for it." Luke couldn't help it. He quite liked the straightforward girl Shijiu. He stood up and took the initiative to apply to Brother Sun, "I'll bring the insecticide and the flare gun. See Why call for help immediately and let me look for it?"

Brother Sun counted the time and found that it was unlikely that nothing would happen.

He nodded and said decisively: "Okay, the rain is much lighter now than before. Aaron, you and Luke go together. Don't go separately. Be careful."

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

There was a friction and sliding sound in Yu Xing's ears. It was very slight, but it was constantly approaching him, coming from - above.

In this mountain forest, his first reaction was that there were snakes.

But when such sounds came from all directions, he knew it was impossible. The team checked the environment when they came in. There was no way there were so many snakes hiding and not being discovered.

Above the head, there are large tracts of vines that can slide like snakes... There are only those vines that look not much different from ivy!

Yu Xing reacted very quickly and jumped forward, almost falling into the arms of Scar who was drinking water. Scar was startled by him. Before he could ask what was going on, he heard Yu Xing shout: " look up!"

Everyone looked up subconsciously.

Above their heads, the static "creepers" crawled as if they were alive, swimming down the cave wall. The original green vines had torn off their camouflage, and their entire bodies turned into a poisonous deep purple, which also revealed the hidden secrets. Barbs in leaves.

Looking around, in the small cave, there are densely packed snake-like vines, showing undisguised aggression.

"Fuck!"

Regardless of the accent, the same national curse broke out at this time. Finley immediately pulled out the dagger and said angrily: "What the hell is this!"

No one knows what this thing is. Not only are there many of them, but they also complete the transition from stillness to activity very quickly, and even crawl towards everyone very quickly!

Yu Xing's ankle hurt, and he had almost no time to dodge before he was entangled by several vines. He looked down and saw that they were the first few vines to climb down. They were as thick as a little finger and were really similar to snakes. They actually looked like a snake to the naked eye. It bounced towards him at an indistinguishable speed and caught him.

His ankles were originally wrapped with military boots, but just now, everyone took off their military boots to dry their trouser legs, and he was no exception. Although the military boots were put on now, the trouser legs were not dug in, which gave the vines an opportunity to take advantage.

The dark purple vine was tough and ferocious. The barbs on it dug into Yu Xing's ankle. With the pulling of the vine, the barbs hooked a few strands of flesh and pulled back. The pain was even more unbearable than being slashed by a knife. .

"I go, it hurts!" Ai Li was also scratched on the flesh. Although she didn't know where the injury was, she was obviously very angry. The others were not much better. The thing happened too suddenly and the space was too small. This place was simply It is the home ground of Vine.

Brother Sun kicked over the fire with one movement, and the vines seemed to be more excited. Yu Xing guessed that if they had mouths, they would probably make squealing sounds.

"Get out quickly, exit first!" Brother Sun shouted as he got out of the hole. The vines at the entrance of the hole rushed towards him crazily, as if they were consciously preventing him from leaving.

Brother Sun was wrapped around his neck by the incoming vines. He cursed, endured the tearing pain and rushed out, then cut off the vines around his neck.

Finley yelled angrily: "This isn't a cave, it's the lair of this shit!"

Luke and Aaron had not had time to go out to look for anyone. They had already stood up and were closest to the cave. They found that the vines were gathering towards the entrance of the cave. They quickly reminded: "Don't waste time, bring supplies and rush in. If it's too late, The hole is about to be blocked by them!”

Yu Xing gave up the wonderful image of howling vines that appeared in his mind at an untimely moment, narrowed his eyes, took out the dagger from his sleeve, used a small side roll without pressing the painting tube to find a suitable position to start, and aimed it at the ankle. The vines were cut down.

Scar, who was next to him, originally planned to help, but he was stunned when he saw this. He took a deep look at Yu Xing before going to grab his backpack.

Although the vines were weird, they were still plants after all, and they were incomparable with sharp metal. When Yu Xing lowered his dagger, the vines snapped. No strange liquid flowed out, and only a small half of a milky white hard bone fell out.

Yu Xing stared at this thing for a second. Before he could figure out what it was, the vines came over again. He reached out and grabbed the bone-like object and put it into his pocket. He opened the way with the dagger in his right hand and pulled the strap of his backpack with his left hand. Rush outward.

The vines at the entrance of the cave were indeed the most numerous, and they quickly formed a large net. Looking at the dense barbs on the net, everyone took a breath of cold air.

If his head is covered, he must not be skinned alive on the spot?

At this time, Brother Sun, Finley, Aaron and Luke had all gone out. Only Scar, Ellie, Yu Xing and two unknown teammates were still trapped in the cave.

Strangely enough, these vines only gathered at the entrance of the cave and did not even take a step out. Once they got out, they were temporarily safe.

Brother Sun shouted outside: "Scar!"

Scar understood, and actually pulled out a flame gun from his bag and sprayed it at the surrounding vines.

This move shocked everyone, even Yu Xing glanced at him in surprise, because he knew at a glance that this was a military liquid fuel flamethrower, which was much more lethal than a commercial flame gun. Brother Sun and Scar To be able to get such a thing, I have to say that it is really a bit of a trick.

Plants are afraid of fire. This is almost an invariable rule. Flames can effectively evaporate the water in plants and destroy the internal tissues of plants. These vines are no exception. After being partially scorched, they finally retreated to the side, but At the same time, the vines behind them were not to be outdone, and took advantage of their clones to create several more wounds on their bodies.

Aaron and Luke outside were also helping to clean up the vines at the entrance of the cave. Finally, a hole was opened in the net formed by the vines. Ai Li was pushed out first, then Yu Xing, and then the two team members. Scar was harvesting. He escaped successfully even after being covered in scars.

The only good news is that the rain has almost stopped, leaving only thin streaks.

A group of people sat paralyzed on the ground, even more embarrassed than before entering the cave.

"Quickly, treat the wound and see if it's poisonous." Brother Sun urged them not to let them rest.

They were really frightened by the poison of the big gray worm. This time, they were all injured and their skins were broken. If it was poisonous, the whole team might have to stop eating.

"It's not poisonous. I saw it right away..." Ellie was in shock, but she had excellent professionalism and gave her a reassurance, "Oh my god... it's so scary. It's the first time I've seen someone who is more agile than an animal." plant."

"Who wouldn't be? My day, it's evil, it's really evil, have the plants in this mountain become a spirit?" A man with fair skin, who is still unknown to me, sighed.

Yu Xing was right next to him, glancing calmly at the brand on his bag - Yin Zi.

He looked away.

Yin Zi's words aroused everyone's response. Aaron covered his neck. He and Brother Sun were in the same situation. Several strands of flesh were torn off the fragile neck. It was the cruelty in their bones that allowed them to endure.

Aaron said: "So what is going on with this thing? Is it really alive?"

"No." Yu Xing lowered his eyebrows and stared at the soil on the ground. He didn't know what he was thinking. His voice was unexpected by everyone. Everyone looked at him and only heard him say, "It's fire. After we light the fire , the temperature and humidity in the cave changed, activating the ferocious nature of the vines."

"It makes sense. He is indeed a cultured person, and his brain works very quickly." Yin Zi praised him.

Now everyone has injuries on their bodies, which are the kind of lacerations that hurt when touched. Basically, some flesh is left on the vines. They are not in the mood to talk too much. After chatting for a while to calm down, they start to look at the injuries.

They themselves were quite experienced. Since it was not poisonous, they were too embarrassed to let Ai Li take care of it, so they took out the bandages and bandaged it themselves.

Finley laughed, curled his arm, and said in an unclear tone: "Sure, Scar, it turns out that Brother Sun trusts you the most, so he actually let you hide such a big murder weapon?"

Scar ignored his strange anger and replied: "Yes, Brother Sun is more at ease with me."

Then he found Yu Xing with bandages and medicine: "To be honest, you must have noticed it. Brother Sun asked me to take good care of you along the way... Let me bandage it for you."

Yu Xing smiled. He naturally knew that Scar had noticed his skill in the cave just now: "I can do it by myself. In fact, you really don't need to treat me as a fragile thing who doesn't know anything. My family is well off. I used to Those who often play extreme sports can endure it more than you think."

"That's it." Scar touched the stubble on his chin and praised, "You really can't tell by appearance, so I'm quite envious of you. A guy like you with good skills and good looks must be very popular with women. welcome."

Yu Xing was noncommittal on this topic. After this time, he had a new understanding of the team members.

Brother Sun is the leader, Finley is experienced, and he needs to help make decisions on many things. Scar is the most powerful person in the team - not only the flame gun, but also his skills are the best, compared with others except Yu Xing , with a more trained sense of efficiency.

Ellie is a doctor who has the right to speak. Aaron has sharp senses and is suitable for exploring paths. It will be more obvious when placed in the tomb. Luke prefers logistics. Yinzi may not be qualified enough, and the presence of another teammate who has no name is very low. .

He bandaged his ankle perfunctorily, looking at the bloody wound on his ankle, he estimated that he would be fully recovered in three hours.

Everyone escaped from the vine lair, but Shijiu and Thorn Tou still didn't come back. Yu Xing was more inclined to believe that they would not come back.

Thorny Head may have encountered an accident, and Shijiu...

Yu Xing's eyes flashed.

Someone else had entered the cave, but there were no traces of flesh or blood or fire. Either the previous team didn't light a fire, or someone came back and deliberately cleaned the scene to lower their vigilance and lure them into danger.

They have a traitor in their midst.

As for who the traitor is... Is there anyone more suspicious than someone who left the team early on the pretext of picking up tree branches and who once stepped on some poetry and wine in the mountains?

Yu Xing knew in his heart that this Shijiu was probably an undercover agent sent by another team. He didn't know whether her team had any grudge against Brother Sun or was just fighting for the secrets of the tomb. Anyway, this woman was quite ruthless and pretended to be pretty cool. Quite similar.

Of course, he doesn't think it's a big deal. He himself will be the one to leave without hesitation when necessary.
