[Bottle Evil Colleague] Ink Dawn
Chapter 78
I always felt that things would not be that simple, but until the team passed through the cave and came to the next section of the rugged passage, there was no sign of any danger.
To be honest, I was a little uneasy, I had a feeling of emptiness that I hadn't finished but I forgot, I couldn't help but talk to the fat man in secret.After hearing this, the fat man told me that it was because my system was too evil, and there was nothing in the bucket that didn’t greet me. It was so hard to encounter a trap that wouldn’t play dirty tricks on me, and I still itch. It's completely underwhelming, and he said, "I have to let my little brother teach you a little bit, don't be suspicious of this and that all day long, it doesn't look like a good young man should be."When he said that, I really had no reason to refute it.
With distracted efforts, a fork in the road ahead appeared.
It was another unusually large, cave-like space. The difference from last time was that under the light of the headlamp, five holes of different sizes appeared on the opposite stone wall. The darkness inside was so dense that it seemed completely Rejecting the existence of light, even searchlights cannot penetrate too far.
Poker Bottle walked around from the entrance of the cave one by one, telling me that there is air circulation, which means that none of the five roads is a dead end.
It is undoubtedly not wise to group into groups at this time, so I calmed down and considered countermeasures.
Poker-Face said that the main goal of our trip was to find the so-called thing that "lives" the longest.Then, from the analysis of the purpose, the most important thing of a bucket is not at the end of its overall layout, but in the very center of the bucket, where the Fengshui is most nourishing.Then choosing to take the main road is obviously the fastest way to approach the goal.I felt the air blowing out of the largest cave in the center and found that it was really very humid. If I was walking in the garden after the rain just now, the humidity in front of me might be like the feeling when I stood by the Huangguoshu Waterfall and watched the scenery. up.
When many mausoleums are built, they have to rely on the nearby water veins to communicate spiritual energy, which means "Fuze" descendants, but it is rare to see such dampness in Douli.Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely not want to have to take some pots and pans and put them on the coffin lid after death to prevent water leakage, that would be too hard.
I thought about it, raised my right hand to my mouth and gave a dog whistle.After all, Brother Pig has been trained by me, so he will not be vague at this moment, he jumped off his father quite simply, and trotted all the way into the widest passage to explore the way.
In this era when human life is more precious than dog life, the Wu family is famous for its well-trained dog Palei.Pig brother is quite special, his IQ is too high compared to a dog, I did not focus on training him on fighting skills, but on how to make him love his master more than chicken legs - he has a natural instinct for fighting Intuition, I have never dropped the chain, I will not run too far when exploring the road, and I can quickly give me feedback on the general terrain and danger ahead.And all I have to do now is wait.
Although there were not many things encountered after coming down, correspondingly, the distance the team advanced was not too far. If this progress continues, it may take half a month in this poor place. The "sequelae of long nights and dreams" occurred, and I became irritable uncontrollably. I lit a root of Yellow Crane Tower, took a couple of sips and pinched it again. I felt that my mouth was not good.
Subconsciously, I turned around and looked for Poker Bottle in the team, for no purpose, just to see him.He stood silently at the entrance and guarded. I don’t know if he was worried about the hidden dangers behind me as much as I was, but since Poker Bottle started this fight, I feel that he is very disturbed—not in terms of actions and expressions What is reflected, I can't tell clearly, it seems to be a kind of inner struggle, but it may also be because I think too much.
I know he has something to hide from me, but there are things I don't want him to know, so it's evened out after thinking about it, and there's nothing wrong with the peaceful relationship now, as long as both sides are pretending to be stupid, it's worse than being helpless The conflict of redemption happened well.
It turns out my worries were warranted.
A quarter of an hour later, there was no news from Brother Zhu, and there was not even a dog barking in the passage to give a warning. The fat man and I looked at each other and felt that the situation was very difficult.
I was afraid of attracting other dangers, so I could only give a dog whistle to the middle passage—no response.I didn't give up, let out a little bit of sound, and blew again.
Almost at the moment when I blew the whistle, I caught a glimpse of Poker Bottle from the corner of my eye and suddenly turned to look at the second passage from the right, but there is no time to distract me now—I suddenly heard Brother Zhu’s dog howl!
The voice was unusually hasty, approaching us at a very fast speed.Everyone knew that something was wrong, and the team immediately dispersed to surround the entrance of the cave. Everyone took a short charge and aimed at the darkness. Anything that came out would be sifted into a sieve in an instant.
But no one expected that what was waiting for us was not some monster rice dumpling, but the shock wave generated by the violent explosion of explosives.
"Boom!" Almost instantly, a strong airflow visible to the naked eye rushed straight out of the passage, and I clearly saw the dust and sand on the ground being rolled up and madly attacking the direction of the team.
It was too late to hide. Standing at the front of the line, I, Fatty, a dozen of his subordinates, and even Poker Bottle were not spared. They were the first to bear the brunt of being violently lifted up by the manic airflow, and fell heavily to the edge of the stone wall a few meters away, rolling over. It took a few laps to buffer the terrifying force, and I felt a faint pain in my internal organs.
In an instant, most of the guys fell down, and the formation broke up in an instant, and some people even dropped their weapons.The light of the headlights was full of dark yellow dust flying, the visibility was very low, and there were moans and the sound of clothes rubbing in my ears.
I lay on my side on the ground, and was pulled up by Poker Face to stand firm. Before I could figure out which force was tripping me up, I heard an unusually piercing beast roar coming from the passage.
The sound was so painful to hear, I tried to cover my ears with my hands, but the effect was not good. The roar was like a needle piercing through a gap, specially stimulating people's auditory center, just like chalk scratching across the blackboard, It was very uncomfortable to hear.I looked sideways and saw that Poker Bottle didn't even cover it, and he drew his knife and stood beside me on guard, so I gave up, frowned, and took up the gun again to aim at the hole in the smoke.
Gradually, I could hear the subtle sound of rubbing sand and stones approaching, and a huge black shadow hidden in the dust appeared in my vision.As the shadow got closer and closer, we all realized that something was wrong: it was so big that I needed to look up at it with my height.
What's even more weird is that even at such a close distance, we still can't see its whole picture clearly, as if covered by a tulle, we can see the surrounding scene clearly, but only this creature, no one can see clearly.
A gust of cold air rushed up from the spine, and I was just about to order the whole team to disperse and retreat, when suddenly I saw a black shadow that looked like a tentacles or a tail flashed at a terrifying speed, "Crack!" A guy at the end couldn't even scream, and fell down in response.
The rest of the people suddenly panicked, and they dispersed and turned around without my order at all.The fat man was also a little frightened, but he was still thinking about his son, and cursed: "You're all fucking out of your mind! The rope on the cliff behind is cut off, it's a dead end! Go back and die!" After finishing speaking , before I caught him, I plunged into the smoke and went behind that thing!
Only then did the guys react from the panic, turned around and ran back, raised their guns and started shooting.However, the bullet didn't have much effect on the black shadow. Instead, it attracted hatred, and it began to move extremely fast in the direction of the guys.
Seeing that the group was going to be wiped out, I almost passed out of breath. I cursed and ran to the left. When I approached the wall, I pulled out the flare gun from the equipment with my backhand and fired a flare into the air.
As I expected, this kind of high-light and high-heat thing can most attract the attention of the thing that lives in the dark underground, and it immediately moved towards me quickly, and the speed was a little faster than before!
The sudden change in its speed caught me off guard, and I was blocked by that thing in the corner after I escaped two steps.I concentrated all my attention, and when the tentacle-like black shadow came, I barely rolled to the side to get out of the way, but the triangular area like the corner of the wall was too small, and I couldn't go around behind that thing at all.
The thing was getting closer, and I had to tuck my stomach in against the wall, and the living space was getting smaller and smaller.At this critical moment, a signal flare was launched into the midair of the opposite cave, and the whole cave was illuminated by the magnesium light, and the thing was attracted in the opposite direction.I quickly ran a few steps to the side, opened a safe distance, and looked in that direction - Poker Face was carrying the guy who was stunned at the beginning with his left hand, and a flare gun upside down in his right hand, leading the team Run to the widest passage.
It's a good trick to tune the tiger away from the mountain with a tacit understanding.I applauded in my heart, and started to run wildly over there, trying to join the big army.
After such a run, I discovered a problem that I hadn't noticed just now: at some point, the familiar drape on my chest disappeared, and it was empty.
——The replacement stone is gone!
My heart suddenly felt cold, and I felt that the muscles in my whole body were stiff, my heart was beating like a drum, and my feet stopped.After a short pause, I started to run back—the biggest possibility was that I fell when I was blown away by the shock wave just now, so it must be in the direction I came from.
"Wu Xie! Where are you going? It's too dangerous to come back!"
The roar of Poker-Face behind me was heard very clearly in my cochlea, I didn't look back, and ran wildly on my own.
It doesn't matter if I die, someone can replace me.
Don't throw away the replacement stone, it's really Poker's only hope.
The flare is still on, and I have a few minutes before that.
I almost used my best eyesight to look for them, but there were too many sundries on the ground, and some of them had similar shapes. Several times, I looked at them from a distance, but I ran over to pick them up and found that they were just gravel.
The signal flare went out earlier than I expected, and after about half a minute, the whole space went dark.But God was kind to me, and in the last few seconds, I finally found the replacement stone.Just in the passageway from which he came, lying quietly on the ground.
I ran over almost in ecstasy, carefully picked it up and inspected it, and saw that there were no cracks or anything like that, and it was complete, so I let go of my heart.
A black shadow loomed over me from behind, and I turned around abruptly, and the thing had already blocked the entrance of the cave, only allowing a gap the size of half a person's body.
-I'm stuck in a dead end.
In the midst of desperation, the light of a headlamp flickered in the gap, and I squinted to look, and saw Poker Ping's frowning face.His face was no longer expressionless, but a rare eagerness.
I was overjoyed and called him with my loudest voice:
"Brother! This way! This way! It's done!"
Saying that, he threw the replacement stone out of the gap with concentration.
Ti Shi drew an arc in mid-air, and was held in his hand by Poker Bottle.
I was really relieved now, thinking that this time I didn't lose the chain this time, so I smiled and waved to Poker Bottle, telling him to retreat to a safe place.
And the moment after that, I clearly saw that Poker Ping's expression was no longer anxious, but angry.
Yes, really angry.
I watched in a daze as he slammed my shoulder hard, and after a tremor, he shrank suddenly, and then he rushed in through the last gap!
I subconsciously went up to help him, but felt the sweat in my hand.
He shrank back, quickly stretched his muscles and bones, and returned to his original state in the blink of an eye. Then he took my hand and ran away without saying a word.
The thing behind has already squeezed in, chasing after me, I have no time to speak, and I can only hear the breathing of Poker Bottle and my own rapid panting.
When I passed the corpse formation, the thing rolled over directly from above, and I ran behind, only to hear a burst of sharp laughter echoing in the air.
But now we can’t take care of everything, and we quickly returned to the edge of the cliff. There is only a short piece of the rope that was fixed before, which is completely unusable.
"I'll stop it, go get the rope!"
Poker Ping drew out his Tibetan knife, turned around and met the thing.
At this time, the most important role is me instead. A second of delay may cause the two of them to lose their last chance to escape.
I used my fastest speed to take out the climbing rope from the equipment, squatted down and made two live buckles for kicking.When people are in a hurry, the fingers tend to get knotted. I try to calm myself down, squat down at the original fixed place, and wrap the end of the rope twice, and tie a dead knot.
The closer you are to success, the closer you are to failure.
"Be careful!!!"
It was too late when I heard the sound of Poker Bottle.I watched helplessly as the thing stretched out its tentacles and pulled them down in my direction. Behind me was a bottomless cliff.
Time does not allow me to make any reaction, the only thing I can do is to close my eyes tightly.
At the last moment, I suddenly felt a strong force hitting my shoulder from the right side.
When he opened his eyes again, what he saw was that Poker Bottle was slammed into the back by the tentacles, his whole body was lifted up, and he fell uncontrollably towards the darkness in the crack.
I couldn't believe my eyes, and I threw myself desperately to catch him.
But it was only half a finger away.
I still haven't been able to touch him.
Right in front of me, he fell into the abyss.
To be honest, I was a little uneasy, I had a feeling of emptiness that I hadn't finished but I forgot, I couldn't help but talk to the fat man in secret.After hearing this, the fat man told me that it was because my system was too evil, and there was nothing in the bucket that didn’t greet me.
