"Found it, there!"
The three of them were hiding behind a stone pillar. Through the light of Big Beard's and their torches, they could vaguely see that Chen Tao's backpack was falling in front of a stone pillar under the altar. The person who was carrying Chen Tao's backpack may have died, but The bearded men were gathering there and retreating.
Judging from the direction in which they were retreating, it seemed that they wanted to exit from the altar.
"There was such a big movement inside, and the people guarding outside probably came in. The bearded man probably wanted to exit to join those people, and then find a way to get in." Ye Rong analyzed.
"Well, I guess they think we are dead. Maybe we can wait a little longer. That position happens to be the blind spot of the altar. When the time comes, I will slip under the altar and they won't be able to see me from above!" Chen Tao He glanced at the bearded man and others who were retreating to the altar, and whispered.
"No, Taozi, you and Ye Rong stay here while I go steal it!"
"Haozi, your marksmanship is better than mine. That place is not within a safe range. There will still be bats rushing down to attack. You two just need to cover me."
"Damn it, stop showing off at this time!"
"Don't worry, I'm free to use discretion. Just be careful and don't let the bat rush down!" Chen Tao patted Haozi on the shoulder.
He has always been like a coward, hiding behind people wherever he goes, but Chen Tao doesn't want to be like this. He doesn't want others to think that he is a coward who only hides behind.
After a bloody battle, corpses were everywhere in the hall. The flesh and blood of humans and bats were mixed together. The air was filled with a strong stench. The big bats with grimaces above their heads were excited by the blood, and each one had red eyes. He rushed down desperately, forcing the bearded man and others to retreat continuously.
The bearded man and others retreated to the altar, dozens of guns guarding the only exit, like a bloody meat grinder, with tongues of fire mercilessly spraying towards the charging bats.
good chance!
Seeing that the two sides were in a stalemate, Chen Tao nodded towards the two of them. With two clicks, Haozi and Ye Rong picked up their rifles. Only two black muzzles were exposed behind the stone pillars. Chen Tao pulled out the short knife and took aim. direction, a wallow ducked under another stone pillar.
The group of bats above his head were basically attracted by the firepower of Big Beard and the others. In order not to attract the attention of Big Beard and others, Chen Tao chose to go around the outermost route. The stone pillars and Big Beard, which had the darkest light from the torch, could not be seen by them. In the blind spot, he quietly approached the backpack.
Chen Tao held a miniature flashlight from Ye Rong's backpack, adjusted the beam to the smallest setting, and covered the mouth of the lamp with a layer of gauze. Every time he came under a stone pillar, Chen Tao turned on the flashlight to confirm the location and location. direction, turn off the flashlight and touch it in the dark.
After a few leaps and bounds, Chen Tao had already rushed under the altar. There were corpses all along the way. His body was stained with a lot of blood and minced meat, but there was nothing he could do. Big Beard and the others were also ruthless. They not only shot him with guns , and also bombed with grenades. The big bats with grimaces on the ground piled up into hills, and a few of them that were not dead were still flapping on the ground.
In the area with the highest concentration of corpses
, there are many torches stuck on the ground,
Several of them were leaning against the corpse of the big ghost-faced bat. The corpse was roasted black and emitted an indescribable burnt odor. Chen Tao felt his stomach churn and his throat boil after just smelling a little bit of it in his nose. Straight hair blockage.
Enduring the nauseating stench, Chen Tao pressed against the stone wall below the altar and looked up. Although they couldn't see the bearded man, he was currently exposed directly in front of the big ghost-faced bat. Once he was The Grimace Bat discovered that hundreds of them rushed down, and Chen Tao was about to die without a place to bury him, not even his scum.
This guy is pretending to be crazy!
Chen Tao calmed down, clutched the short knife tightly in his hand, lay on the ground and crawled towards the location of his backpack in memory. Bullets were flying overhead, and bat corpses kept falling from high places, almost hitting Chen Tao's head several times.
Chen Tao gritted his teeth and thought that being sneaky like this was not an option. It was better to cut through the mess quickly, grab his backpack and run. If his legs and feet were fast enough, he should be able to hide under the nearest safe stone pillar before the bat rushed down.
Having made up his mind, Chen Tao silently said "grandpa's blessing" with the faint light of a few torches on the ground and rushed out.
Closer, closer!
The backpack was right in front of him. Chen Tao stretched out his hand from a distance, just barely able to touch the strap of the equipment bag.
boom!
A strong gust of wind swept over his head, and a black shadow hit the backpack in front of him heavily. Chen Tao was so frightened that he staggered and almost smashed his head into the ground.
The moment Chen Tao was about to touch the backpack, a big bat with a grimace fell down, its huge body pressed down on the backpack, and Chen Tao retracted his outstretched arm.
Look at that bat. There is blood on its wings and head. One eye has been penetrated by a bullet. Half of its skull is dragged on the face, revealing the scarlet brain in the skull. It is still beating and beating, and blood bubbles are spitting out from its mouth. , letting out a loud gasp.
Chen Tao endured his nausea, reached out and grabbed the two claws of the grimace bat, and tried to pull it away from the backpack. Unexpectedly, the grimace bat flapped its wings, and seemed to be returning to the light. He didn't know where the energy came from, and jumped directly from the ground. He got up, with only half of his head left, he opened his ugly mouth and bit Chen Tao's neck.
Holy shit!
Something unexpected happened, and Chen Tao never expected that the dying big bat would suddenly attack him with a fatal blow, which scared him so much that his face turned pale.
It is said that after a snake's head is cut off, if you touch it with your hands, the snake's head will explode again and hurt people. It will not stop spitting out the last drop of venom, and will not let go until it is completely dead.
Now, the dying big bat with a grimace suddenly jumped up and attacked him, and the distance was so close. Chen Tao reflexively waved the short knife in his hand and chopped off half of the head of the big bat with a grimace. It's completely out of survival instinct.
puff......
Chen Tao felt his face heat up, and a smelly blood sprayed on his face. It took him a long time to open his tightly closed eyes.
At this critical moment
At this time, after all, Chen Tao was the lucky one, and the knife in his hand reacted in time. He slashed at the big ghost-faced bat a second before it pounced on his neck, and directly chopped off half of his head. Blood flowed from the big bat with a grimace. The bat's headless corpse spurted directly out, splashing Chen Tao in the face.
Although it had no head, the momentum of the bat corpse still remained unabated. It hit Chen Tao's chest with a bang, and blood surged from the broken neck, causing Chen Tao's body and face to be covered with blood.
"Taozi!"
"Chen Tao!"
Haozi and Ye Rong in the distance both sweated fiercely for Chen Tao, their hearts beating wildly. The bat suddenly burst out just now, and even if the two wanted to shoot, it was already too late. Fortunately, Chen Tao reacted quickly enough and chopped off the head of the grimace bat at the critical moment, otherwise he would really be finished now!
Chen Tao was breathing heavily. It was so dangerous just now that his legs were weak from fear. It took him a long time to regain his composure. He kicked away the bat corpse that fell beside him, grabbed his backpack and put it on his shoulders. , waved his hand towards Haozi and Ye Rong in the distance, made an OK gesture, wiped the blood on the dagger on the ground, and began to walk back towards the two of them.
Squeak, squeak, squeak!
Chen Tao had just taken a few steps when a sharp and piercing scream suddenly came from above his head. When he looked up again, a large bat with a grimace half the size of an adult had already pounced towards him.
Oops, found out!
Chen Tao's heart thumped, and he didn't care anymore. He turned on his flashlight and rushed towards Haozi and Ye Rong.
"Taozi, run!" Just as Haozi was about to take a breath, he saw two or three big bats with grimaces following Chen Tao's butt. His face was turning green. He shouted at Chen Tao, raised his gun and started to fight.
Bang bang bang bang bang...
Within a few bursts of firing, the three closest big grimace bats behind Chen Tao had been hit by bullets and fell to the ground. However, one of them had already flown behind Chen Tao. With a hook of its big paw, it directly caught Chen Tao's backpack. .
Chen Tao felt a tightness on the back of his neck, and suddenly panicked in his heart.
If this big bat with a grimace were caught in mid-air, wouldn't he be torn into pieces like those before?
Snapped......
There was another gunshot, and Ye Rong shot the bat in the neck. The wings of the big bat that had already dragged Chen Tao off the ground shook, and rolled to the ground with Chen Tao under his claws, and threw him away. A dog eats shit.
"Ouch......"
Chen Tao felt a sudden pain in his head. Something fell from above and hit his head directly.
Looking up, there was a round, bright and faint thing in the black sand, reflecting a crystal clear light in the darkness.
This is...the beads picked up from the ashes of that monster!
Chen Tao hurriedly stood up and picked up the beads. When he looked back, he saw that his backpack had a big hole. I was caught by the big bat before, and its sharp claws directly tore a big hole in the backpack.
Squeak! ! ! ! !
The big bat with the grimace is not completely dead yet. It is flapping on the ground at the moment. With the previous lesson, Chen Tao is afraid that it will get hurt again.
The man hurriedly covered the hole in his backpack and took several steps back, then hugged the backpack to his chest. He didn't dare to stop at his feet and approached Haozi and the two without looking back.
"Taozi! Watch out behind!"
Squeak, squeak, squeak! ! ! ! !
Several more big bats with grimaces swooped down from above. They were surprisingly fast and were in front of Chen Tao in an instant.
"Go away!" Chen Tao was protecting his backpack with one hand and holding the short knife with the other hand and waving it desperately. However, next, an unbelievable scene happened.
The big bat with a grimace flew straight towards him. The claws that originally pounced on him retracted, as if it didn't see Chen Tao. It flapped its big wings and passed over his head, making a sharp sound. The ear-piercing squeaking sound rushed towards the top of the temple.
Not only this one, but the other ones that were originally following him also seemed to have suddenly lost interest, and several of them circled towards Haozi and the others in the distance.
Chen Tao had already prepared to fight desperately. He swung his short sword into the air and was stunned again.
"What's going on with this special girl?"
