Byron's Blade

The dark underground world, the empty waterfall and deep pool, only a few white searchlights brought light to this mysterious world.Under the illumination of these several searchlights, a horrifying picture suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.In the deep pool, a huge ferocious beast jumped out of the water. With a terrifying power in its huge body, it swayed its tail and swung up to a height of about thirty meters. Robin and Lanny swallowed it.

Whether it was Mu Li and others who had crossed the horizontal cable, or the follow-up troops of the Generalissimo who were still stranded at the entrance of the waterfall, they all broke out in cold sweat.Not to mention Robin and Lanny who are just above the horizontal cable.Lanny hardly dared to open her eyes, she just grabbed Robin as if she was holding on to a life-saving straw.And Robin only felt a gust of frantic water vapor and cold wind hit his back, and the stench almost knocked him out through the gas mask.

However, miraculously, the monster failed to bite the two people on the rope, probably because the height of the jump was not enough, the distance from Robin's back was only less than one meter, the monster rose to the limit and fell down .About a few seconds later, the monster fell back into the deep pool, splashing majestic and majestic huge water splashes, and the flowing waterfall seemed to be stimulated to flow backwards.

Just imagine, if Mu Li hadn't grabbed the rope and tightened it in an emergency, so that the two could barely hang in mid-air, they would have been buried in the belly of the monster now.In this way, people who have the fluke mentality of "if you accidentally fall on the rope, there will be water below to catch it" know a cruel fact that you can't cross the deep pool below, you can only walk from a high altitude, and you will die if you fall!

"Climb!" The veins in Mu Li's temples bulged, the pain from the barbs piercing her palms and the pressure of the tight rope made it difficult for her to support herself now.

Robin is a person with great willpower and tenacious perseverance to survive. As soon as Mu Li finished speaking, he accelerated the speed of climbing the rope with his hands and feet, and passed the remaining few meters in the blink of an eye. Rescued.

When Mu Li untied the rope tied between Robin and Lani, she couldn't restrain the fear in her heart at all, and tightly hugged Lani into her arms.Trembling all over, she was really close to losing Lanny.

On the contrary, Lanny calmed down, probably after experiencing a great fear, she came to a strange and peaceful state of mind, and only felt that being alive was so wonderful.Mu Li's embrace made her feel so nostalgic, she actually laughed and shed tears.After hugging for a while, she suddenly realized that Mu Li's hand seemed to be injured, she hurriedly broke away from her embrace, pulled up her right hand, and saw a bloody cut on it.However, Mu Li's self-healing ability is extremely strong, and the wound has stopped bleeding and scabbed at this moment, but Lan Ni still feels distressed.She doesn't have any bandages for dressing now, so she can only use her palms to lightly attach her wounds to stop her bleeding, not daring to use too much force.

In the emergency just now, most people were in a state of extreme fright, including the four soldiers from Mu Li's side who were guarding them.When Mu Li and others were pulling the rope, even the disabled Alita and Mu Xin struggled to rush up to help, but the four soldiers didn't move at all, they were like people in the air, watching them fall into danger. There was no reaction at all.

However, through Mu Li's careful observation, she could see that the two soldiers began to make more small movements, the hands holding the guns were rubbing back and forth, their separated feet were no longer standing obediently, and they always had to switch their centers of gravity and walk up and down. two steps.Probably caught in a state of hesitation.Mu Li guessed that maybe he was moved by the scene just now, and now his mood is unstable.But whether it can be used by Mu Li is still a question mark.She sighed secretly, if she could see the faces clearly, the small details on these soldiers would definitely not escape her eyes, and she would be able to make judgments more clearly.

The other two are probably experienced veterans, cold-blooded and order-oriented, and have seen a lot of big things in the world.He is a person who has been completely brainwashed, but he is really unmoved, and Mu Li admires this kind of person.

The radio in one of the "veteran" helmets sent a question from the generalissimo, and the veteran answered them one by one.The generalissimo gave instructions, and the veteran immediately commanded the other three soldiers and the captives who had come to carry out the order.

The rope tied above the tunnel had fallen, and the Grand Marshal ordered that the rope be firmly fastened in the tunnel.So Mu Li and the others couldn't rest, and started to get busy again.Drill parallel holes on the walls on both sides of the tunnel, insert a hard metal telescopic tube with a thick arm into it, make the telescopic tube span the center of the tunnel, and then use a special knotting method to straighten and tie the crossing rope in the middle of the steel pipe , In this way, it is much more secure than being stuck in the wall before.

There was no one coming from the Generalissimo's end, and Mu Li saw that the angle of inclination of the crossing rope had changed, and the rising angle was constantly increasing.Therefore, people who come after this can take advantage of the difference in height and slide directly into the tunnel.

And the Generalissimo no longer sent prisoners, but began to let a large number of soldiers cross the rope quickly.The soldiers were so skilled that they could climb high and slide down with the rope climbers in their hands, and they easily fell one by one into the tunnel on Muli's side by pulling the rope climbers.

Mu Li and the others became anxious, and a bad premonition gradually surfaced in their hearts.The Generalissimo began to send troops to this side non-stop. On the one hand, he probably wanted to check and balance the captives here. There are fewer soldiers and more captives, which is prone to change.On the other hand, it is estimated that some strategic adjustments have been made to the situation just now.He probably wanted to break up the group of captives and separate them to be entrained in the large army. In addition, the captives who stayed around might be used as bait to deal with the terrifying monster just below.

Mu Li even guessed that the Generalissimo might have suspected that there was some kind of huge monster inhabiting the deep pool below, otherwise why didn't the four soldiers who went there first strengthen the crossing cable according to the current method?After the four soldiers, Yilian sent many captives to cross the precarious rope, with the purpose of "fishing out" the "big fish" underneath.He probably just hoped that someone would fall.With the generalissimo's mental means, this is very possible.

About fifty soldiers descended from that end one after another, blocking the entrance of the tunnel.Afterwards, the Generalissimo also slid over with Latia, and Pell led the follow-up troops to postpone, but he has not come yet.

As for the big monster, when it popped up, it was silent again. I don't know if it was lurking and waiting for an opportunity. Maybe not going to show up again.In short, according to the theory of probability, the longer the delay of crossing the cable, the higher the probability of triggering the beast to devour; and the shorter the time, the faster the action, and the opposite is true.The generalissimo understood this truth after the early trials, so he took lightning action.

"Mike, you take half of the soldiers here and these five captives to go first, we will go again after a while." The generalissimo began to count the number of people, and the Mike he was talking about was the major officer who had gone to the cell to interrogate Mu Li.And the "five captives" he refers to are Qiu Zheng, Alita, He Yingning, Robin and Zoe.

"The rest follow me." The Grand Marshal continued to order.The remaining prisoners are Mu Li, Mu Xin, Lan Ni, Mo Kexin, and Lin Zhao.A total of 10 captives came over, and they were divided exactly in half, and the strength and weakness of the two sides were just balanced.Relatively speaking, Mu Li's side may be stronger, but with the Generalissimo personally suppressing it, it happens to be much more balanced.

In addition, at the end of the waterfall where Pell stayed behind, there were still six captives: Joan, Bailey, Xia Jie, Chris, Jill, and Lilian.The follow-up 180th Airborne Special Forces Regiment still has about a hundred people left, which can be regarded as a large force behind.

Mu Li guessed that for Andres, Dr. Bailey was one of the very important figures, and all the captives were killed, so it is estimated that Dr. Bailey would not be in danger of his life.Her research is very valuable, at least until the results of her research are mastered, her value is worthy of the Andres family's attention.Therefore, she deserves the heavy protection of the follow-up large forces.The rest are just incidentals and can be discarded at any time.

And the recalcitrant elements are all on the Generalissimo's side, especially Mu Li's performance just now, let the Generalissimo see that she has more than enough energy, so the Generalissimo personally came to sit in charge, just to prevent the captives from changing.For the Generalissimo, Mu Li is a dangerous person. He admires Mu Li for being so outstanding at such a young age, and he has repeatedly turned the tide. If he hadn't been hostile, he would have truly loved talent.But it's a pity... the hostile position can no longer be changed, he can only kill the talents.

He wasn't worried about Pell. His granddaughter was as cunning as a fox, and with Akihiko Inoue watching over her, there wouldn't be any problems.

Major Mike has already led the troops of about [-] people and five people from Qiu Zheng to take the lead to walk deep into the tunnel.Mu Li and the others were guarded by soldiers and sat on the ground of the tunnel, watching the large troops on the opposite side keep sliding over.

Mu Li was thinking about a question: What was that monster just now?

For a moment, she seemed to see the lengthy body of a Chinese dragon and the scales shimmering coldly under the light of the searchlight, and the monster really looked like a Chinese dragon, with quadrupeds on its abdomen, but that monster was definitely not a Chinese dragon The head of this legendary beast seems to be more like a lizard or a pointed fish, with a pair of folded fleshy wings on its back. It seems that it has degenerated in the narrow underground, and it has long been unable to fly.It has a fishy body and looks nondescript, most of which are the products of the giant mutation of aquatic organisms such as amphibians, reptiles or fish.

Lan Ni, who was sitting next to Mu Li, probably had a tacit understanding with Mu Li and knew what she was thinking.So he quietly held her left hand and wrote a Chinese character in her palm - Kun.Mu Li was secretly startled, did Lan Ni mean that thing was a Kunpeng?

No way, things like Kunpeng are as unreliable as Shenlong.And shouldn't Kunpeng look more like a roc?At least the wings should be feather wings instead of meat wings.Well, Kun and Peng should be treated differently, but she wanted to make a mistake.

However, it would be too unnatural for the beasts in ancient Chinese mythology to appear on the land of Western Europe!It is more reliable to say that it is a western dragon.

Lanny probably had another insight into what she was thinking, so she wrote another word - big.

Oh, now Mu Li understands, Lan Ni wants to say that this thing is huge, and it seems to be a mutated fish, which is somewhat similar to the legendary Kun.

Mu Li thought for a while, and felt that the reptiles of today are all descendants of prehistoric dinosaurs. This monster is different from the Kunpeng, so we might as well call it the Kunlong.Looking back, she smiled, why did she give this monster such an imposing name?Is it hard work?

After laughing at herself, a thought suddenly came up in her heart, if she could guide this big guy to make trouble, would she be able to create a chance to escape?As soon as the idea came out, she immediately cheered up.In the darkness, her eyeballs rolled around, thinking about how to carry out the initial plan in her mind.Her eyes drifted to the rest of the team crossing the rope, and when she saw that Dr. Bailey and the other six had come, she began to pray that the monster would jump out again quickly, and it would be best to get the soldiers crossing the rope down, so as to reduce the number of enemies Just reduce it a little.

Just as she was lost in thought, suddenly her palm softened again, Lan Ni attached her hand again, and wrote a word in her palm:

and so on.

Mu Li glanced sideways at Lani. She was wearing a gas mask, so she couldn't see her face at all. In the darkness, she could only faintly see her delicate auricles, hair and fair skin on her neck by the light from a distance. .

Mu Li thought to himself: Maybe Lan Ni already has a plan in mind to break away from the current situation.
