On killing the protagonist

After another wave, everyone raised their heads and shook the water off their heads and faces, breathing heavily.

Everyone finally understood why Bancuntou threw them into this hole?And why, there was no sign of any creature on the way they traveled all the way?

It took an hour for the flood to calm down, but Ye Hanjiang and the others paid a heavy price.

After coming down from the stone wall, Ye Hanjiang has been in the state of not saying a word. Just when Zhang Li was secretly worried, he suddenly regained his composure and asked, "How is the situation?"

Zhang Li frowned: "Xiao Jiu, just vent out when you're sad, don't hold back."

Ye Hanjiang sat on the ground, looked down at the ground, and repeated again in a very calm tone: "I said, how is the situation?"

Zhang Li took a deep breath: "I've confirmed that it was indeed Ye Qiu who was washed away. Judging from the blood and impact marks on the stone, the stalactite should have just pierced the heart. The hope of survival..."

He opened his mouth with great difficulty, and almost squeezed out the following words: "Almost zero!"

A fist hit the cliff wall, and blood mixed with stones fell to the ground.

Zhang Li exclaimed: "Xiao Jiu!"

Ye Hanjiang gritted his teeth, his eyes were burning with anger, and he said bitterly: "Tongshan..."

After getting angry, he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, how is Bian Qing?"

He remembered hearing Bian Qing's low cry before the third tide surged.

Seeing that he regained his composure, Zhang Li heaved a sigh of relief, and replied: "Fortunately, in order to save Xiaojie, a stone hit her thigh. Li Yi helped to look at it. There is no bone injury, but excessive blood loss."

After the report was completed, Zhang Li did not leave. He stood there hesitating to speak, and Ye Hanjiang's uneasiness gradually increased. He clenched his fists and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Zhang Li opened his mouth, but finally said, "Xiang Xiu is gone."

"how come?"

Ye Hanjiang was shocked, why didn't he notice it at all?

Such a big living person, even if he was washed away by water, how could he make two noises, right?

"During the second tide, the main rope was raised by the big water. At that time, it was too close to the top of the cave, and the stalactite pierced his chest. Li Yi said that he died on the spot."

Ye Hanjiang was silent, no wonder he didn't even hear a sound.

After a long time, he said, "Where's the corpse?"

"Chen Tian and Wan Ke helped to remove it, and put it over there. Li Yi said that the cause of death was being pierced by a stalactite as a chest, and he died almost instantly. He walked quickly and did not suffer much pain."

"Where are the supplies? Have you counted them?"

Zhang Li shook his head: "I haven't had time yet, but I took a rough look and found that most of the backpacks are missing, and I'm afraid there are not many left."

Ye Hanjiang raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "It doesn't matter what clothes and equipment are. The temperature in this underground cave is constant. I have enough on my body. I can identify the correct way without a light source. But if too much food, fuel and medicine are lost, it will be a real disaster." Trouble."

Zhang Li said worriedly: "That's right, everyone's clothes are wet, and we can survive. I think Li Yi and the others are quite sick. They were shocked today, and they wore wet clothes all night. I guess they will get sick in all likelihood. .”

Ye Hanjiang is also worried about this: "Find a place that is sheltered from the wind, let everyone rest and get off, and check the supplies by the way, and then move forward."

The team rested on the spot for another three hours, and did not start again until around ten o'clock in the morning.

In fact, according to their current situation, it is best to rest in place, but no one knows how long the cave is, whether the tide is once a day or a few days, if it is the former, they will stay where they are This behavior is tantamount to suicide.

The future is uncertain, teammates are missing, and they are dying. It is only one night, but the atmosphere of the whole team has reached the lowest level ever.

There are many forks in this underground river. Every once in a while, they can see a dark river merge into the dark river in front of them. Nothing wrong with that.

Fortunately, plants finally appeared on the side walls on both sides.

Ye Hanjiang found several kinds of shade-loving plants that can be eaten by humans. Although the number is not large, it can be regarded as alleviating their plight of insufficient food.

Among the many news, there is a bad news.

Chen Tian's wound was infected!

Li Yi dug out antibiotics and vitamins from several medical bags, and planned to inject him first, to see if it would ease his condition.

At noon the next day, a group of people arrived at a strange place.

The people who built the dam blocked all the water in the underground river, causing the water level on both sides to rise, and the road leading to the front was completely flooded, and there was no other way to pass except climbing from the side wall.

Fortunately, this section of the road was not very long. After one kilometer, the road conditions became much better. The dark river disappeared before everyone's eyes. Instead, it was replaced by a stone road that could pass through two trucks. It looked like someone had repaired it.

The forward route bends and becomes straight, and the rocky cliffs on both sides have also become high mountain walls, but the mountain wall on the left is very strange, with many large and small holes on it.

The big one is the size of a round table, and the smallest one is as thick as a fist.

Ye Hanjiang was worried that something might be wrong, so he still ordered everyone to go along the rugged mountain road on the right.

This section of the road went very smoothly. He looked at the surrounding environment while walking. The wall of the cave on the opposite side seemed to be hewn out of the entire mountain. There were some moss and other plants growing on the stone wall. It looks a little greenish.

At a glance, there is no end in sight.

Ye Hanjiang murmured in his heart: Don't be another trap!

When eating at noon, Zhang Li stopped him: "Judging from the surface area and the speed of the water flow, we should be less than [-] kilometers away from the exit, and we can go out in five hours at the latest."

He glanced at the already exhausted crowd, and advised, "Xiao Jiu, take a break!"

"Ok!"

Everyone seized the time to rest quickly, because they were worried that the light would cause unnecessary trouble, they extinguished the flashlights, and for a while, the entire cave was plunged into darkness.

Seven or eight people were sitting or lying in front of the mountain wall, and within a short time, they were already snoring like thunder.

Time seemed to stop passing in the darkness, and the surrounding area became quiet. Ye Hanjiang fell asleep at some point, and in a daze, he always felt that there seemed to be rustling sounds around him.

Suddenly, a very thin voice shouted beside his ear: "Xiao Jiu."

He turned over, frowned and fell asleep again. Someone tapped his shoulder and called again: "Xiao Jiu."

It was Ye Qiu's voice!

Ye Hanjiang was overjoyed, and quickly opened his eyes, and saw a black shadow standing on his side, vertical and slender, with a round ball the size of a volleyball on top, like a human head on a thin stick.

He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and when he was about to speak out, someone covered his mouth and nose, and Zhang Li's barely audible voice rang in his ears: "Shut up."

Ye Hanjiang hurriedly nodded to indicate that he understood, Zhang Li put his hand on the back of his hand, and tapped with the Sherlock Holmes code: "Monster, sound, vibration."

He looked at the black figure in front of him, and immediately realized that Zhang Li meant that the monster in front of him identified its prey by vibration and sound, and immediately stretched out his hand and patted the back of his hand, indicating that he knew.

Just thinking about how to get this thing away, someone stuffed a cold and smooth thing into the palm of his hand.

Ye Hanjiang pinched it, and it felt like a pebble.

The hand that stretched out did not stop, and continued to tap on his wrist: 1, 2...

Ye Hanjiang immediately realized that he was going to make a fuss and counted silently in his heart: 1, 2, 3!

'It's now! '

The two waved their arms almost at the same time and threw the stones in their hands.

"Clap!"

The crisp sound of the stone falling to the ground reverberated in the quiet cave, Ye Hanjiang noticed that at the moment the sound of the stone falling to the ground, the round ball at the top of the dark shadow in front of him doubled in size instantly, standing up like a sunflower, Then he was as flexible as a snake, and disappeared in front of them in an instant.

At the same time, Zhang Li ignited a cold firework and threw it out after the black shadow. For a moment, the tomb was as bright as day.

The moment the cold fireworks were lit, a black and white human face suddenly appeared in front of Ye Hanjiang's eyes. For a moment, he thought it was a human face floating in the air, but when he took a closer look, he realized that it was the back of the monster.

As if feeling the shock when Zhang Li threw the thing, the thing turned around to face them again, and Ye Hanjiang also took the opportunity to see the appearance of the monster clearly.

On a section of gray-brown vine, there is a thing similar to morning glory, let's call it a flower!

The blood-red petals are octagonal, and the inner layer is layered like sawtooth, which looks very much like the mouthparts of a sea anemone.

Just looking at it makes people shudder.

"Oops!"

Zhang Li's annoyed voice came from next to his ear, Ye Hanjiang turned his head, and was instantly shocked by the scene in front of him, unable to speak: "This is..."

I saw countless vines like that monster protruding from the round hole on the opposite wall, slowly opened their terrifying mouthparts, and radiated to the surroundings around the two of them. The deputy waits for the opportunity to move.

Ye Hanjiang took a rough look, and there were at least a hundred of them in sight, not to mention the dark place where the cold fireworks couldn't shine, and he didn't know how many were hidden.

At this time, the cold fireworks stick that had been flying in mid-air finally fell to the ground, and both Ye and Zhang saw an unforgettable scene in this life.

I saw that the blood-red flowers that were still facing them turned to the position where the cold firework stick landed in an instant, and rushed out with lightning speed.

Some of the vines touched the people who were sleeping soundly, and the people who were awakened saw a group of human faces floating in midair, and they were terrified.

Wanke was even more like a chicken whose feathers were scorched by fire. He jumped up in panic and cursed: "Fuck! What is it?"

The vine, which was halfway through, stopped abruptly, and opened the detector to Wan Ke who was dancing, ready to turn around and give him a loving hug.

It was too late to say it, but it was too soon. Ye Hanjiang, who had been paying attention to the crowd, raised his hand and threw another fireworks stick, and then sternly shouted: "Shut up, run!"

One word awakened the dreamer, and the people who had been stunned came back to their senses, and immediately leaned on each other to form a fighting team, and quickly approached Ye Hanjiang's position lightly.

Part of the nearby vines were attracted by the sound of the fireworks stick landing, and the remaining part was attracted by Ye Hanjiang's shout. If the movement was a little louder, the vines would immediately stare at them.

The strange flower opened its mouthparts to the maximum, imitating the swallowing action of animals, and spewed out a yellow smoke.

"Cough cough cough... what is this thing?"

Chen Tian didn't notice for a while, let the smoke puff up straight, and was immediately choked by the irritating smell, his nose and tears flooded his face.

Seeing this scene, Ye Hanjiang turned his head to look at the other vines, and sure enough, seeing that the other vines were swallowing, he hurriedly reminded everyone: "Be careful, cover your mouth and nose!"

Sure enough, the other vines also spewed out a burst of yellow smoke like the previous one. Fortunately, everyone was reminded and covered their mouths and noses in time. They saw that the entire cave was filled with yellow smoke, and there was a blur in front of everyone's eyes. hazy.

At this moment, Chen Tian, ​​who was the first to inhale the smoke, said to Wan Ke beside him: "Flower shirt, why do I feel... a little... dizzy..."

Before the words fell, there was only a 'click', which was the sound of guns falling to the ground!

Ye Hanjiang and the others turned their heads and saw that this person was lying on the ground, as if he had lost consciousness.

The vines that had been waiting in front of him for a long time seemed to have the ability to predict. As soon as the man fell to the ground, he opened his mouthparts to the maximum, sucked Chen Tian's ankle into his mouth, and then slowly dragged him towards him. across.

Ye Hanjiang was guarded by Zhang Li. Seeing this, he immediately remembered the small holes on the opposite mountain wall for people to pass through, and immediately felt that something was wrong, and quickly shouted: "Help him, there is something wrong with the vine. !"

Wan Ke pulled out the rhinoceros knife from his waist, and slashed at the vine. To everyone's surprise, the expected severing of the vine did not happen. The gray-brown vine just twisted in place, and then pulled People dragged forward.

He was dumbfounded, stared dumbfounded at the vine and swears: "Fuck him, what the hell is this?"

Seeing this situation, Ye Hanjiang followed Wan Ke's example and drew out his knife, and slashed with all his might on the vines around him, but it felt like he was cutting on rubber, leaving only a shallow white streak on the vines. mark.

Immediately, he frowned unconsciously, and immediately ordered: "Wan Ke, pull Chen Tian back! Everyone else, be careful not to let that vine get close."

Everyone quickly formed a circle back to back, and used guns and knives to pierce the approaching vines, but there were too many vines, Wan Ke was injured, not only failed to pull Chen Tian back, but even himself was dragged away by the vines.

Seeing that Bian Qing's arm was entangled by vines, Ye Hanjiang hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab her other arm. One person and one vine pulled up the river through a body, and the two sides were at a stalemate.

"what!"

After a scream, Li Yi was quickly dragged away by vines entangled his feet.

Before Ye Hanjiang could reach out his hand, he heard a stabbing sound, and Li Yi had been dragged almost a meter away. He immediately shrank his eyes, and hurriedly shouted: "Zhang Li, they are speeding up!"

Ye Hanjiang didn't need to remind Zhang Li. He gritted his teeth and swept away all the vines in front of him, turned his head and shouted at the others: "Those who are not entangled go first, leave this place to us."

At this moment, Ye Hanjiang suddenly shouted: "Be careful!"

Zhang Li turned his head to look, but before he could react, a vine quickly wrapped around his arm.

The vine was extremely powerful, and the thorns that pierced the human skin seemed to have an anesthesia effect. He was injured, and he was unable to move, but now his arm was entangled again, and he couldn't break free after all kinds of struggles. Drag and go.

Seeing that the vine was dragging Zhang Li almost halfway, Ye Hanjiang had no time to think, and flew forward, trying to grab his ankle, but there was only half a centimeter away, but suddenly there was nothing in front of him.

It turned out that the vine also seemed to know that someone was going to snatch food from the tiger's mouth, so it suddenly turned a corner when Ye Hanjiang approached.

Ye Hanjiang ran away, and was about to think of a plan again, but unexpectedly, the vine suddenly accelerated its speed, and Zhang Li was dragged six or seven meters away with a sound of '咻'.

Seeing this scene, Ye Hanjiang in the distance shouted anxiously: "Zhang Li!!!"

Zhang Li could only leave a sentence: "Take them and leave first!"

But in the blink of an eye, he was dragged into the cave by the vine, and was never seen again.
