Zhou Tong Detective Series

Chapter 35 Zhou Tong Detective Series II: Blood Talisman (14)
Unfortunately, the sky was not beautiful, a bolt of lightning passed through the thick black clouds and hit the mountain in the distance, followed by the rolling thunder, which made people feel dizzy, and the light of the flashlight became weaker and weaker.

"What should I do? It looks like it's going to rain soon!" Ai Chen became anxious.

Li Ying's body trembled with the thunder, and her hands tightly grasped Zhou Tong's arm.

"Find a place to shelter from the rain first!" Liu Qingte looked around with a flashlight, but there were trees and shrubs everywhere, so he couldn't find a place to shelter from the rain.

Before the words of a few people were spoken, the pouring rain had already poured down, and in a blink of an eye, everyone became drowned.

"Everyone, don't panic, stay closer, move forward slowly, and try to go to an open place!" Zhou Tong shouted loudly in the rainstorm.

The others quickly approached according to the words, and then supported each other, and led by Zhou Tong, they walked to a place with relatively few trees in front.

"Everyone wait, I heard the cry!" Li Xin suddenly stopped, followed by a dazzling lightning across the sky again.

"No, did you hear it wrong?" Liu Qingte shouted loudly.

"It really is. Listen carefully. It's Qin Mengyao's voice!" Li Xin said with certainty.

Sure enough, when the thunder disappeared, there was indeed a faint cry in the heavy rain.

"This way!" Li Xin judged the direction, and immediately rushed to the place where the shout came from regardless of everything else.

"Wait!" Zhou Tong yelled, holding back the impulsive Li Xin, "There are shrubs and jungles ahead, be careful of danger, let's all go and have a look together."

"Let me open the way ahead!" Lin Danxi stepped forward, pulled out the golden knife from his waist, swung it vigorously, and chopped down many branches and shrubs.

Under the leadership of Lin Danxi, the crowd marched slowly in the direction of the shouts against the heavy rain.

Qin Mengyao was indeed very afraid of wild beasts. When she saw the frightening black bear, she completely lost her previous composure and lost her direction when Zhou Tong said "Run".Feng Tianrong wanted to be a hero to save the beauty, so he followed her closely.

Just as he was running around in a panic, Qin Mengyao suddenly slipped, as if he had stepped on a trap, and fell.Out of an instinctive reaction, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to grab Feng Tianrong beside her.Feng Tianrong also wanted to support Qin Mengyao, but unfortunately the fall was too forceful and too sudden, and he himself could not stand still, so the two of them fell into a deep cave with a "wow".

I don't know how long I slid, until the two people fell into the water with a "bang", they didn't stop.

The cold groundwater cut the two people like knives, and a piercing pain hit the whole body.Qin Mengyao and Feng Tianrong rushed out of the water with all their strength, grabbed the nearby rocks indiscriminately, and climbed up.

"We... where are we?" Feng Tianrong wiped off the water from his eyes, trying to see the surrounding environment clearly.

This underground cave is not as dark as imagined. There is a strange glowing substance on the rock wall of the cave. Although the light is not strong, it is not difficult to see the situation in the cave clearly with these weak lights.

The cave is very large, almost half the size of a football field as far as the eye can see, and it seems to extend deeper.Where they fell, there is an underground river, winding and stretching, and it doesn't know where it will end up.But what is frightening is that there are various animal and human bones scattered around in the cave, which is even more indescribably eerie under the strange light.

"I want to go out!" Qin Mengyao shouted loudly.

But when I looked up, the hole where they fell was almost invisible, only some sparse bushes were there, and I wanted to see farther, but it was beyond my eyesight.

"They're still outside, let's shout loudly, maybe they can hear." Hope was ignited in Feng Tianrong's heart, and he began to cry for help loudly.

But after shouting for a long time, there was still no response, but the body felt more and more cold.Clothes that have been thoroughly wet with water have completely lost their ability to keep warm.

Especially Qin Mengyao, who was a girl, her wet clothes were tightly attached to her body, and the water droplets on her body slowly fell rhythmically with her breathing, making her perfect body even more alluring.

Feng Tianrong's breathing also became rapid as Qin Mengyao's chest rose and fell, and he slowly moved towards where Qin Mengyao was sitting.

Qin Mengyao noticed that something was wrong with Feng Tianrong's expression, and immediately curled his body into a ball, hugged his chest with both hands, and asked vigilantly, "You...what do you want to do?"

"Mengyao, I like you, I love you!" Feng Tianrong's voice trembled, like a lion pounced on Qin Mengyao.

Qin Mengyao was more like a lamb powerless to resist, the wet clothes on her upper body were quickly torn apart by Feng Tianrong.Feng Tianrong frantically kissed Qin Mengyao's body, as if a traveler in the desert had finally found the long-lost water.

"Don't! Don't! Bastard! Beast!" Qin Mengyao struggled, twisting his body constantly, trying to avoid Feng Tianrong's blood-red lips.But this kind of struggle was meaningless, on the contrary, it aroused Feng Tianrong's animal desire even more.

Qin Mengyao finally closed her eyes, feeling powerless to resist.

However, just when she felt that the last line of defense was about to be breached by Feng Tianrong, everything stopped, like a rain that came suddenly and then went away suddenly, without warning.

Qin Mengyao felt water dripping onto her face, and she boldly stuck out her tongue to lick it, but there was a strong fishy smell.She immediately opened her eyes, and what she saw in front of her eyes was a picture of purgatory on earth.Feng Tianrong disappeared, no, to be precise, his head was gone, his body was gone, but his hand was still tightly grasping Qin Mengyao's hand, and his leg was still pressing on Qin Mengyao's leg.

Qin Mengyao felt cold and numb all over her body. She threw off Feng Tianrong's hands and feet in horror with all her strength, and then shrank her whole body into a ball, trembling.

After she had stabilized her emotions a little, she raised her head and looked beyond the underground river into the distance.

I saw a pale human-like monster hugging half of his body and biting, while Feng Tianrong's head was dangling under the monster's hands, staring at Qin Mengyao with his big eyes.

"Ah!" Qin Mengyao could no longer control his emotions and screamed.

Unexpectedly, the scream caused the monster to drag the corpse and run towards the depths of the cave. It seemed to have lived in a closed space for a long time and became particularly sensitive to sound. The decibels were unbearable.But this scream also attracted Zhou Tong and the others.

"Qin Mengyao! Qin Mengyao!" Zhou Tong and the others finally found the cave where Qin Mengyao and Feng Tianrong fell.

When Qin Mengyao heard Zhou Tong's cry, regardless of his half-naked upper body, he immediately lay down on the stone wall and cried out for help: "I'm down there, help me, help me!"

"It's really Qin Mengyao!" Li Xin said excitedly.

Zhou Tong took out the rope from his backpack, tied one end to the tree and the other to his waist.

"I'll go down first!"

"Be careful!" Li Ying said with concern.

Zhou Tong nodded, and asked Lin Danxi and Liu Qing to hold the rope and let him down slowly.

It took more than ten minutes for Zhou Tong to descend into the cave.

When Qin Mengyao saw Zhou Tong, he immediately threw himself into his arms.

Seeing Qin Mengyao like this, Zhou Tong couldn't help being a little surprised. He immediately took off his coat and put it on Qin Mengyao's body.

Only then did Qin Mengyao, who had been icy cold, warm up a bit.

"Where's Feng Tianrong?" Zhou Tong asked.

"He...he was eaten by monsters!" Qin Mengyao remembered the scene just now, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Monster?" Zhou Tong turned his eyes to the cave, and saw that the side of the underground river was full of blood and broken limbs, which was hard to see.

At this time, Li Xin, Li Ying, Ai Chen, Liu Qingte and Lin Danxi also climbed down from the rope one after another.

Seeing the bloody scene, Li Ying immediately covered her mouth and vomited continuously.

"What happened here?" Li Xin asked Qin Mengyao, who was still in shock.

"Drink some water and speak slowly." Ai Chen took out the water bottle from his backpack and handed it to Qin Mengyao.

Qin Mengyao took a sip of water, and then said intermittently: "Feng Tianrong and I accidentally fell into this cave, he...he wanted to rape me...".

Qin Mengyao pointed to the clothes on the ground that were torn by Feng Tianrong.

"Beasts, you deserve to die!" Li Xin said angrily.

"What's the matter with the monster you just mentioned?" Zhou Tong asked.

Qin Mengyao looked around vigilantly, and then continued: "I couldn't resist him, so... I closed my eyes... But... But at that moment, he stopped moving, and I opened my eyes , found him... he was being bitten by a monster that looked like a human but was not human..."

Qin Mengyao really didn't want to recall the scene just now, so he started crying again when he said this.

"Could you be more specific about what that monster looks like?" Ai Chen was very interested.

Qin Mengyao wiped away his tears, and then said: "He is all pale, his body looks like a man, his ears are long and flat, he seems to have no eyes, his teeth are sharp, and he crawls very fast on the ground."

"I don't think I've ever heard of such a beast." Liu Qingte recalled all the books he had read, and couldn't remember any book that mentioned this monster.

"Later, did that monster hurt you?" Li Xin asked Qin Mengyao gently with his arms around him.

But Qin Mengyao made an abnormal movement. She stood up and shook off Li Xin's hand.

Li Xin was a little embarrassed for a moment.

"No, when I saw it, I couldn't help screaming. It seemed that it was very afraid of screaming, and dragged Feng Tianrong's body and ran to the depths of the cave." Qin Mengyao said, wrapped Zhou Tong and Her coat, then pointed across the underground river with her finger.

"Zhou Tong, I... let's go up!" Li Ying whispered in Zhou Tong's ear in fear.

Zhou Tong nodded, and he also thought there was no need to take risks.He had already seen Feng Tianrong's limbs, and they were indeed torn off by some huge force. Qin Mengyao could not have such power, so he did not doubt what Qin Mengyao said. Except for monsters, I am afraid that no one can do this kill.

"Let's climb up first!" Zhou Tong said.

The others have no objection either, and no one wants to provoke the monster Qin Mengyao mentioned.

But Li Xin said: "Everyone wait, do you see anything on the stone wall opposite?"

After hearing what she said, everyone noticed that there were indeed some similar patterns on the stone wall opposite the underground river, but they couldn't see clearly because of the distance.

"Why are there murals here?" Liu Qingte asked curiously.

Lin Danxi jumped over the underground river, ran to the bottom of the stone wall, looked carefully, and then turned around and shouted: "It's really a painting!"

Zhou Tong, Liu Qingte, Qin Mengyao, Li Xin, and Ai Chen immediately waded through the underground river and came under the mural after hearing the words.

Li Ying hesitated for a long time, but when she saw everyone passing by, she was even more frightened standing here alone, so she also followed.

The paintings on these stone walls are very simple and composed of some rough lines. There are seven paintings in total. The first one is a lot of people fighting and killing each other, which should be about war; There are many men and women running up the mountain, it seems to be to escape the war; the third painting is that the people who ran up the mountain found the cave and lived in it; the fourth painting is that the leader found a strange man in the cave thing.When seeing the fourth painting, Qin Mengyao suddenly said: "Look, everyone, what does the leader hold in his hand like?"

Liu Qingte pushed his glasses, and then said affirmatively, "It's a talisman!"

"That's right, it's a talisman. Although the drawing is very simple, the characteristics of the talisman are unmistakable!" Zhou Tong also agreed with Liu Qingte's point of view.

"Everyone look back!" Ai Chen pointed at the painting behind and shouted.

The fifth picture is that after the leader took out the talisman, a huge stone suddenly fell from the cave, sealing the exit; the next sixth picture is that the people in the cave tried their best to push the stone, trying to get out, but failed ; But for some unknown reason, the last painting became very blurred, and it was impossible to see clearly.

"According to the content of this painting, the talisman should be inside the cave." Qin Mengyao speculated.

"It seems that no matter what monsters are here, we have to go in and investigate." Liu Qingte said while touching the mural.

Zhou Tong shook his head and said worriedly: "Even if we want to investigate, we can't let everyone take risks. Li Ying, Ai Chen, Qin Mengyao and Li Xin, you all go out first, and I, Liu Qingte and Lin Dancy go in and have a look."

"No, I want to be with you!" Li Ying objected first.

"Don't mess around! Can't you see the situation here?" Zhou Tong pointed at the blood and stumps all over the ground and scolded.

Li Ying looked around, and she really flinched a little.

Qin Mengyao also disagreed, and wanted to speak, but Li Xin said first: "Mengyao, you look like this, I'm afraid it's better to go out first!"

"Yes, you go out first, find our lost equipment, and then come to us. The most important thing is that you are still there. Even if we are in danger, there are rescuers." Zhou Tong explained.

Ai Chen, who was going to object at first, couldn't insist on staying after hearing what Zhou Tong said.

The four had no choice but to follow Zhou Tong's instructions and climb up the cave along the rope.It was indeed not easy for the four girls to climb up. Fortunately, after climbing to a certain distance, the slope gradually slowed down, and there were some protruding rocks for them to rest and borrow strength. After a lot of hard work, they finally climbed out of the cave entrance .

However, they never expected that there would be a group of people waiting for them at the entrance of the cave, and the leader would be Feng Tianrong.

Section 17 Transactions
"Impossible, this is impossible!" Qin Mengyao's face turned pale, terrified.

Li Ying, Ai Chen and Li Xin were also dizzy for a while. Although it was raining heavily, they could clearly see Feng Tianrong's smiling face through the flash of lightning.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen pistols were aimed at their heads.

"Qin Mengyao, didn't you say he's dead?" Li Ying thought Qin Mengyao was lying just now, "Or did you collude with him?"

"No, I really..." Qin Mengyao was in a daze, pointing to Feng Tianrong and asked, "Who are you?"

Feng Tianrong walked over with a smile. Behind him, there was a man in a black suit holding an umbrella for him.

"I'm Feng Tianrong, have you forgotten me so quickly?" Feng Tianrong gently stroked Qin Mengyao's face with his hands.

"Let go of your hand!" Qin Mengyao pushed Feng Tianrong away and asked, "What exactly do you want?"

"It's very simple, give me the talisman in your hand." Feng Tianrong said lightly.

"I don't understand what you're talking about?" Qin Mengyao raised his head.

"You can fool other people, but you can't fool me!" Feng Tianrong looked neither angry nor happy, which was completely different from his previous virtue.

"Mengyao, hand over the talisman to them!" Li Xin suddenly said to Qin Mengyao.

Qin Mengyao's face changed drastically, she never expected that Li Xin would know that she was holding a talisman.

"Do you want to put everyone's life at risk for the talisman?" Li Xin said a little excitedly, contrary to her cowardly appearance before.

"As long as you take out the talisman, I can guarantee that you can leave here safely." Feng Tianrong made a promise without losing the opportunity.

Qin Mengyao didn't pay attention to what Feng Tianrong said, but looked at Li Xin suspiciously and asked, "Are you with him?".

"This answer, let me solve it for you!"

Another head popped out from the hole, it was Zhou Tong who could still laugh no matter what.He crawled out of the cave in some embarrassment, and then Liu Qingte and Lin Danxi also crawled out.

Seeing that Lin Danxi was surrounded by people and everyone was holding guns, he was about to fight with the golden knife, so he put away the golden knife wisely and stood aside.

Feng Tianrong's complexion changed slightly at this time, he couldn't figure out why Zhou Tong would come up instead of looking for the talisman as he had imagined, but he soon regained his composure.

"I didn't expect you to come out so soon."
