Indiana Jones

Chapter 25 Survival in the Jungle (09)

Lu Qingxi has been dead for several days, how could he appear here?Could it be that he didn't die, but was seriously injured at the time, and then he woke up and climbed up from the pit by himself?Impossible, this is too absurd, Li Siming shook his head, he was very sure that Lu Qingxi died at that time, and it was impossible to survive with that kind of injury, could it be... his ghost?
This idea made Li Siming involuntarily smart, a chill surged in his heart, and the momentary fear almost made him fall from the tree. As a veteran who has fought in the battlefield for several years, he has seen countless corpses with hideous faces and dead faces Serene, incomplete... It can be said that he has unknowingly possessed courage that ordinary people cannot match, but at that moment he suddenly felt a fear that he had never felt before in his heart.

This kind of unspeakable fear is completely different from the feeling of facing the unknown attacker in the darkness on the ground just now. In the absolute darkness, he was more nervous and anxious. The fear is not without, but it is definitely not so serious. , but that "Lu Qingxi"'s strange eyes and strange behavior made him feel cold all over his body. He couldn't judge whether he had an illusion. When Agui's torch was lit again, he looked carefully in that direction and found that shadow gone...

"Come here..." Agui almost called him in a voice that Li Siming couldn't hear clearly.

After regaining his senses, Li Siming realized that the torch in Agui's hand was slowly weakening, and it might go out at any time. Once the light is lost in this kind of place, it is tantamount to completely losing his sense of direction. It's almost impossible, he really didn't want to experience the feeling of being attacked below, thinking of this, he immediately jumped down from the tree in three steps and rushed to the big tree where Agui was, which was just right It was the tree they landed on before, but he just walked in the wrong direction in the dark.

Li Siming ran under the tree in a few steps and climbed up with hands and feet. At this moment, he smelled a strong smell of gun smoke. It turned out that Agui was constantly taking out some bullets. Toss on torches for enhanced lighting...

After crawling to Agui's side at the fastest speed, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Where are the others?"

"I don't know, Liang Rong was up there, she fainted from fright, and the others didn't see it." Agui also shook his head in horror, and was a little incoherent, "You saw it, right? The one below, standing behind the tree. "

"What?" Li Siming was stunned for a moment, he didn't know why this guy suddenly became so nervous.

"Ghost... devil, the devil in the colorful spider web we saw before!" Agui stammered.

Li Siming was stunned, where did all this come from?Just now I seemed to see Lu Qingxi, but Agui saw that devil again, how could two people who were both dead appear here at the same time?Could it be... is it really a ghost?
"Did you see it too?" Agui asked nervously.

Li Siming didn't know what to say, so he had to perfunctory: "I didn't see clearly."

Agui breathed a sigh of relief: "That must be my misreading, it's okay, it's okay."

During the conversation between the two, the torch in Agui's hand continued to dim...

"What should he do?" Li Siming looked at Ma Zhong who was slowly disappearing from sight under the tree as the light dimmed.

"We can't get him up until the torch is completely extinguished. It's too dangerous down there." Agui's expression was dark, obviously thinking about Ma Zhong's ending.

"No more torches?" Li Siming asked.

"The last half was left when I went down to collect herbs. It was not convenient for me to climb the tree, so I inserted it between the branches. I just fell and was caught by the dense branches. It happened to be on top. You are lucky, otherwise it would be so black on me. There is no way."

"Why didn't I respond to my shout just now?" Li Siming said angrily.

"There are other voices nearby, and I'm afraid I'll disturb the beast." Agui said, "It's best not to shout in the jungle at night, it will attract many things, especially in this place we don't understand at all. "

"Damn, I thought you were all dead?" Li Siming scolded angrily.

At this moment, they heard a small voice coming from the top of their heads, followed by Si Xuanyi and Li Guoshou coming down one after another. Li Siming and Agui were relieved, and they finally joined the others, at least they didn't feel too much. alone.

"Where is the eagle owl?" Li Siming asked.

"Run away." Si Xuanyi said with a frown. His face was covered with blood. He didn't know where it was torn. Li Guoshou was also in a very embarrassing situation. His clothes had been torn several times, and his face was covered with scratches.

"Is there anything else to burn?" Seeing the flames getting weaker and weaker, Li Siming asked.

Si Xuanyi tore off a raincoat sleeve and wrapped it around the broken branch next to him: "Light it on first, this raincoat can burn for a while."

The rubber raincoat quickly started to burn. Although there was residual rainwater and the fire was not strong, it basically met their lighting needs, at least able to clearly illuminate the surrounding situation. Si Xuanyi also took down Liang Rong from above, almost The individual is like a monkey squatting on the branch waiting for the dawn in fear.

Agui wrapped the remaining raincoat outside the large group of thick branches and ignited it with the help of fire. The light became stronger and stronger, and the illuminated area was wider. Agui immediately threw a few burning branches into the tree like a javelin. Inserting it into the mud to illuminate the situation below, they seemed to see countless strange things running away when the burning branch fell to the ground, and the large water marks on the water surface were fleeting.

"What... something?" Li Guoshou asked stammeringly.

"Things that wander in the woods at night, we call them lindrills, a kind of monster that eats people." Agui said tremblingly, "They are afraid of light, and they will not come out no matter how dark the woods are in the daytime. Only come out to move around in the dark night."

The others looked at each other after hearing this. Although they didn't fully believe what Agui said, they did see shadows of many things. It was those invisible shadows that made them feel extremely uncomfortable... …

After throwing more than a dozen branches out, Agui finally found Ma Zhong. He was still lying in the mud, his face was pale, his clothes were ripped apart by something, blood had ooze from many places, and his mouth was big. , as if frozen in the moment of shouting.

"Dead?" Li Siming asked suspiciously.

"It seems not yet." After Si Xuanyi finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the others, almost everyone avoided his gaze, only Liang Rong, who was still in shock, looked at him, "You can't just leave him alone."

Si Xuanyi sighed, what Liang Rong said was right, he also wanted to save them, but absolutely no one of these guys would want to go down, they were too selfish, even if Liang Rong could help, how much strength would a daughter like her have?
"Cover me." Si Xuanyi handed his Thomson submachine gun to Li Siming, and then slid down the tree directly. The moment he landed, he seemed to see something quickly leaving under the muddy water beside Ma Zhong. There seemed to be a subtle ripple that couldn't be seen, and it was fleeting. I don't know if it was his illusion or the light and shadow formed by the erratic torch...
