"Jin Jue, hurry up!" Grandpa held Chu Yuxuan's arm tightly, his voice was strong and urgent.
Mr. Li looked shocked: "You don't want to die!"
Grandpa still held Chu Yuxuan's arm tightly.
Mr. Li had no choice but to drag Chen Ze to risk his life to rescue Chu Yuxuan who was stuck in the quagmire.
Those Chu family members who originally wanted to give up immediately joined the rescue.
They were lucky, as the strange red lightning struck them several times without hitting them.
"Why save me?" Chu Yuxuan looked at his grandfather with a puzzled face, his voice sounded more like questioning.
"The leader risked his life to save you and didn't even say thank you. He turned around and asked us, you white-eyed wolf!" Chen Ze, the guy next to him, was a little angry.
"Stop talking and leave quickly!" Grandpa ignored him and urged several people to evacuate quickly.
When we arrived, we felt that the grass was soft, but when it came time to run for our lives, we realized how difficult it was to walk.
No matter how you run, every foot feels like stepping on cotton, and you can't use any strength at all.
What's even more terrifying is the underground river and quagmire hidden under the turf.
Everyone was running almost lifelessly, and during this period, some people kept falling down, dying from lightning, or falling into the mud.
Despair and fear were written on everyone's faces.
The climate in the valley is weird, and the cumulus clouds come and go quickly.
When the sun above their heads appeared again, everyone had already reached the depths of the valley and could almost see the snow line at the foot of the mountain.
There were originally a large team of more than a hundred people, but now there were less than seventy people left, and a few people who were still alive were being helped to survive.
In this case, the chance of getting out alive is zero.
At the beginning, more than thirty people were killed or injured, and everyone looked a little ugly.
Huo Yuanshan took out the human skin map and looked at the vast snow-capped mountains behind him without saying a word.
"There shouldn't be any more lightning in a short period of time. I need to keep my manpower and equipment in check. I don't know what I will encounter next."
"Huo Yuanshan, you knew there was something weird here, why did you let us come?" Chu Yuxuan's body was covered with half-dried mud, and he looked furious.
"Do you want to kill us all?"
Not only Chu Yuxuan, but everyone present looked ugly.
This time, Huo Yuanshan undoubtedly hid something from everyone.
"I already said it in Huahe Tower, this trip is dangerous, and even my Huo family is not completely sure."
"I made it clear at that time, either don't come, or if you come, you must be aware of all the consequences."
Huo Yuanshan's voice was cold, "You choose the road yourself. I, Mr. Huo, have my own rules for doing things. Since you have waded through this water, don't be afraid of getting some mud on you."
"Besides, it's not just your Chu family that has been killed here. So many of our brothers have died. I'm also very sad."
Chu Yuxuan was silent.
No one can refute what Huo Yuanshan said.
They came here voluntarily. Huo Yuanshan had given them a choice when they were at the Huahe Building.
In this business, death and injury are normal, but no one wants to be taken for granted.
"How many people came to the Huo family last time?" Grandpa asked.
"I sent more than thirty people here to step on the plates, but in the end only one person came out alive. When I saw him, he was already a corpse."
"I only got this from him." Huo Yuanshan raised the human skin map in his hand, "He carved the route on his body, but the route is not complete."
What Huo Yuanshan had on his hands was actually the skin of his men!
"Now that I'm here, I admit it. I have a scar as big as the mouth of a bowl on my head. I'm afraid of a ball. Young people nowadays are really getting less and less courageous!" Hong Laojiu lit up a dry cigarette and looked like he was giving advice to his younger generation. .
"I remember back then, when I braved Wufeng Mountain by myself without even frowning. A few thunders frightened you into being like this. You should hurry back to the kang and hug your mother-in-law!"
"Senior Hong is a hero. Naturally, juniors like me don't dare to compare." Peng Jinsheng touched his goatee, "Now we have entered the valley, and there is still a long way to go. This place is unusual. We can take advantage of the darkness to Before that, find a place to stay early.”
Compared with outside the valley, the growth of vegetation here is obviously much better.
After everyone made some simple arrangements, they headed towards the snow-capped mountains again.
Along the way, from time to time, you can see some wild deer and rabbits passing through the bushes and grass. Some people had itchy hands and shot a few and carried them on their backs, preparing to drink them when it gets dark.
"It's strange, look!" Grandpa suddenly stopped and pointed not far away and said, "These grasses seem to have been pressed by something."
Looking along the direction of the crooked grass, a winding route can be vaguely discerned on the ground, extending to the deepest part of the valley.
"There are many birds and beasts here. It is probably some kind of beast that dragged the prey out."
Grandpa squatted down and carefully identified the grass marks, and suddenly frowned.
"Look at this."
That's a footprint.
The footprints were large, not like wild deer or wild boars. They looked a bit like humans, but were obviously longer and slender than human feet.
"Based on the size of the footprints, this thing is quite big." Mr. Li speculated from the side, "There are those weird red lightnings outside. There should be very few people coming in here. They might be some large beasts living in this deep valley. .”
"It's probably a blind bear." Wencai smiled honestly.
"When I came here, I asked the locals. Although there are no tigers and leopards here, there are often wild bears, wild boars, and even wolves. The so-called one pig, two bears and three tigers must be guarded against," Chu Yuxuan said.
"No matter what it is, if I cut it down, it will have to see the King of Hell!" Hong Laojiu took a deep puff of his cigarette, "Stop dawdling, let's go!"
The team approached the snow-capped mountains. When they climbed to the foot of the mountain, there was another roar in the distance.
Looking back, I saw a cluster of cumulus clouds forming over the deep valley I had walked through before, and there was a flash of red light in a daze.
Weird and scary.
No one knows if this is a coincidence of nature or if there is some unknown strangeness here.
According to Huo Yuanshan, there is a secret place deep in the snowy mountains behind him, and the things inside are enough to subvert everything and even change the current situation.
What attracts them is not only wealth, but also the secret they have been fighting for for thousands of years.
It was getting late, and the group of people were walking hard on the mountain road.
There are thorny bushes and thorns everywhere, and unknown tiny vines climb along the bushes to the branches, and finally bloom into delicate little flowers.
Huo Yuanshan asked several people to take turns cutting through the bushes with knives and shovels to clear the way.
Along the way, they rarely spoke, but Grandpa's expression became darker and darker.
"What's wrong?" Mr. Li discovered something strange about his grandfather.
"I always feel like something is following us."
"Is there something?" Mr. Li looked back.
There was nothing but endless grass and gravel.
"An indescribable feeling, like there are countless pairs of eyes staring at us from behind."
Mr. Li touched his cuffs subconsciously. Mr. Li never doubted his grandfather's words.
The surrounding temperature has obviously dropped a lot compared to when we arrived, and the wind started to blow around.
The weeds swayed in the wind, and the wind blew through the messy piles of rocks, making a strange whining sound.
Click!
There was a crisp sound from the sole of my foot.
"It's bones."
Everyone stopped.
I don't know when, many skeletons appeared again among the rocks and weeds.
Different from the outside, these bones were broken and scattered, scattered on the ground in a mess, and it was impossible to tell whether they were human or animal.
"Something's wrong."
There was rustling all around, and the sun completely disappeared into the gray clouds. Grandpa subconsciously touched his waist.
The team was still advancing slowly, and the surrounding strange sounds were covered by the chaotic chopping sounds. No one noticed all this.
"ah!"
Suddenly there was a scream from behind.
In the team that had been silent all this time, a person suddenly jumped onto a boulder at an extremely fast speed, then ran up the rocky hillside and disappeared from everyone's sight.
No one knows what happened.
The team reacted very quickly and instantly formed a defensive formation, tightly protecting Xu Zixue in the middle of the team and scanning the surroundings with a vigilant look.
After World War II, a large number of armed firearms were lost among the people.
The Thompson submachine gun was a famous firearm in the United States during World War II. It was also known as the "trench broom" or the "Chicago typewriter." Its outstanding performance played a huge role on the battlefield and was also favored by gangsters.
Seeing the Thompson submachine guns in their hands, Mr. Li was a little surprised.
These people are well-trained and well-equipped, but their names have never been heard.
"ah!"
There were two more screams, and the two people in Huo Yuanshan's team who were walking at the front screamed and were dragged into the bushes by something. Blood dripped down the short thorns on the branches, and one of them was still hanging on it. Cloth strips on clothes.
"No, we are surrounded!" Everyone became alert.
"What is it, a blind bear, or a wolf?"
"A bear is not that fast. Even a wolf cannot drag an adult away in an instant. It is something else!"
Mr. Li held several long nails in his hands and stood back to back with his grandfather Chen Ze in a circle.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, no one dared to move at all, and the ears were filled with the tinny sounds of wind and grass.
Grandpa held two daggers in his hands, his sharp eyes scanning every inch in front of him, his pupils reflecting a light golden luster in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Suddenly, grandpa took the shell gun in Chen Ze's hand and shot into a bush.
"Bang bang!"
There seemed to be a huge thing moving behind the bushes. Grandpa fired several shots. The gun barrels echoed in the mountains, frightening a few crows that were pecking at the dead bones to flap their wings. Their bodies drew black arcs in the sunset.
"Zhizhizhi!" A sharp and piercing scream came from the bushes. In everyone's shocked eyes, a huge gray-green monster jumped out of the bushes.
The thing had a body like a mantis, with a gray exoskeleton wrapped in rough dark green flesh like a skull carapace, covered with sharp bone spurs.
The head is pointed and long and narrow, with large and translucent compound eyes. The back of the head is high and protruding, the limbs are extremely long, and the mouth has two pairs of giant jaws like vices.
The monster was as tall as an adult, with powerful insect-like lower limbs. It jumped more than ten meters in one leap. The tip of its thick and long tail was raised high, and a sharp spike on it shone with a heart-stopping cold light.
"Kakakaka!"
The monster's throat squirmed, and it let out strange low roars. Its huge fangs trembled, and drops of white liquid dripped from its mouth.
Bah.......
The liquid dripped onto the gravel and bones on the ground, instantly corroding a small pit.
"What the hell is this!" Hong Laojiu was shocked that the cigarette butt in his mouth fell out.
