I was secretly prepared to summon the silver dragon. If anything went wrong, I would have to rely on it to deal with these monsters. However, I didn't want to summon it too early.
But then again, it doesn't mean that we can't withstand the owl monster's attack without summoning the silver dragon. In fact, we still have a certain chance of winning, because the terrain we are now in is quite favorable to us. First of all, our
Neither the back nor the top of the head will be attacked by the owl monster, and the space in the plank road is relatively limited. For the owl monster with a wingspan of six to seven meters, it must retract its wings before it can come to deal with us. In this way
, their air superiority no longer exists.
Seeing that the owls were getting closer and closer to us, Chen Biao shouted: "Fire!"
In an instant, there was loud gunfire, and all the special forces members held carbon alloy submachine guns and fired wildly.
Only then did I see the true power of this new type of submachine gun. The rate of fire was really unusually fast. The powerful firepower seemed to have woven into an indestructible protective net, and the owl monster could not get close at all.
Many owl monsters were shot down and fell into the lake.
Everyone was fighting vigorously, but suddenly a high-pitched, sharp, long-lasting horn sound came from the distance, and the owl monsters seemed to have received the order to retreat, and they immediately turned around and retreated.
Everyone stopped shooting and looked at the group of owl monsters disappearing in the distance. Li Guo said in confusion: "Why did all these monsters run away?"
Wen Qingshan said: "It must have been the sound of the horn just now that had an effect. There was an ancient saying that the horn sounded to withdraw troops."
"They must think that the terrain we are currently in is not good for them, so they summoned the owl monster group back. Don't take it lightly. They must be looking for a more suitable opportunity to ambush us." Long Yi reminded everyone.
The group of owl monsters gradually disappeared into the darkness, and we continued to move forward along the plank road.
The group of people walked about two to three hundred meters and discovered a new situation. In the middle of the road not far ahead, there were several black shadows. It looked like something was lying there, but it was strange.
Yes, those black shadows did not emit heat because they appeared black instead of orange-red in the night vision device.
Maybe it was just a few rocks, but we didn't dare to be careless, so we all stopped. Wen Qingshan whispered: "I'm afraid it's a monitor lizard. Monitor lizards are cold-blooded animals, and infrared thermal imaging doesn't show that clearly."
But Long Yi said: "I don't think it's a monitor lizard. The monitor lizard will emit some heat to some extent. Maybe it's something else. Maybe it's a trap set by the devil. It's best for everyone to be careful."
We waited quietly for a while, but the black figures lying on the ground were still motionless. There was no other way to wait like this, so Long Yi decided to go over and take a look.
The group of people approached cautiously, and when they were only about five or six meters away from the groups of black shadows, we could clearly see that the groups of black shadows lying on the ground were actually human-shaped!
My heart suddenly became tense, and the first thing I thought of was Professor Dong and his party. I didn’t care so much, so I quickly turned on the search light on my helmet, and when I took a look with the light, I couldn’t help but be surprised.
The people lying on the ground are actually not humans at all, but human-wolf beasts! Moreover, these human-wolf beasts are also wearing dark black armor and holding long-handled axes. However, on their necks, there is a
Obvious knife marks.
No wonder they don't form infrared thermal images, they must have been dead for a long time.
I looked around and found that there was an arched door not far from these human, wolf and beast corpses. I walked carefully to the arched door and looked inside, but saw nothing.
Wen Qingshan stared at the corpses of several human-wolf beasts and frowned, saying, "These should be soldiers of the Sirius Kingdom."
"But who killed them?" I asked puzzledly.
Long Yi knelt down, took a look, and said: "Every one of them was almost killed with a single knife! He must be a master of swordsmanship, and his attacks are extremely fast."
Hearing what he said, I suddenly thought of Long Jiansheng and immediately said: "Is it that guy!?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as I finished speaking, a familiar voice came from inside the arched door: "It's not bad, you got here so quickly."
Everyone quickly turned around and saw two people, one tall and one short, standing in front of the arched door. It was none other than Lao Gui and Long Jiansheng!
I was surprised and happy to see them.
"Senior Old Ghost, why are you..." Before I could finish my words, Old Ghost glared at me and said angrily: "Do you want to ask why we are not dead yet!"
I hurriedly waved my hands and said, "No, no! That's not what I meant. I just wanted to ask why you are here?"
"Hmph! If we weren't here, you might have been ambushed by these monsters."
"So, these werewolf beasts were killed by you?" Long Yi had a shocked look on his face.
The old ghost laughed and said: "Hehe! This kid killed them all! How could I have such ability!"
Wen Qingshan hurriedly asked: "Did you find anything?"
"Of course, do you think we are just messing around for so long? Turn off the lights above your heads first, and come with me!" After the old ghost finished speaking, he turned around and entered the arched door, and we
We didn't know what he was taking us for, but we didn't ask any more questions. Out of curiosity, they all followed him into the arch.
Inside the arched door is an arched passage about three meters wide. It is obviously also artificially constructed. It seems to be very long. With the help of night vision goggles, you can't see the end at all.
The old ghost led us about twenty or thirty meters inside and stopped. He walked to the stone wall on one side of the passage and stood there fiddling with it for a while. I was about to ask him what on earth he was doing and what was on the other side.
The stone wall actually slowly opened.
Unexpectedly, there was a secret door here. We were all surprised. Long Yi hurriedly asked: "Senior Old Ghost, what's going on?"
The old ghost replied without looking back: "You will know it later."
When the stone door was fully opened, a natural stone cave appeared in front of us. The old ghost stepped into the cave first, and the rest of us had to follow him in.
Not long after all of us stepped into the cave, the stone door slowly closed again.
The old ghost led everyone deep into the cave. On the way, Wen Qingshan asked curiously: "Senior old ghost, how did you discover this place?"
But the old ghost still said the same thing: "Don't worry, you will know it later."
Not only are we more and more curious, what secrets are hidden in this cave?
We followed Lao Gui and Long Jiansheng through the twists and turns of the cave, and finally reached the end of the cave, but found nothing.
Long Yi asked in confusion: "Senior Old Ghost, why did you bring us here?"
Without saying a word, the old ghost walked to the end of the cave, raised his hand and tapped a few times on a stone wall that looked quite smooth and flat. After a while, he heard a "bang" sound, and the stone wall
It actually opened slowly.
Everyone was shocked again. There was actually a stone door inside!
When the stone door was fully opened, everyone was shocked to see that there was a group of people inside the door! The special forces members quickly raised their carbon alloy submachine guns and pointed their guns at the people inside.
The old ghost immediately shouted loudly: "Put down your guns for me!"
With the help of night vision devices, we can actually only see the infrared thermal imaging of those people, which is just an outline, and cannot clearly see their appearance. Because we don’t know what the situation is, everyone did not listen to the old ghost and still regarded them as
Pointing his gun at those people, Long Yi asked in a serious tone: "Senior Old Ghost, what on earth is going on!?"
The old ghost replied: "They are not evil spirits, but human beings just like us."
When I heard that they were human beings, I couldn't help but feel happy, and blurted out: "Could it be Uncle Dong and the others!?" As I said that, I immediately turned on the search light on my helmet. Who knew that the moment the light came on,
Hearing those people let out a piercing scream, they quickly covered their eyes.
The old ghost turned around and shouted: "Turn off the lights!"
It took me a moment to react, and I quickly turned off the search light. However, the moment the light was turned on, I was able to see clearly the true appearance of those people. Each one of them was no different from a savage, with their hair almost reaching their waists.
And they were almost naked. Some people were wrapped in monitor lizard skins, and some were wrapped in rat skins. In their hands, they all held tools like iron drills.
Wen Qingshan, Long Yi and others also saw the appearance of those people clearly, and everyone was even more shocked. Wen Qingshan asked in a daze: "Senior Old Ghost, he...who are they?"
"They are all slaves of the Sirius Kingdom! They stayed in this ghost place for too long and can't stand the stimulation of the bright light!"
"What!?" Everyone was shocked.
The old ghost turned to look at those people and said, "You should tell them yourself, I'm afraid I can't explain clearly."
After a while, one of them spoke: "We all escaped from the Sirius Kingdom. We were originally slaves captured here by the evil spirits of the Sirius Kingdom."
Unexpectedly, they could still speak human language, so Long Yi hurriedly asked: "What on earth is going on?"
The person who spoke just now cleared his throat and started telling us.
It turns out that as early as more than a thousand years ago, when the wolf cavalry of the Sirius Kingdom went to war, every time they captured a city, they would kidnap the young and strong men and women in the city, and kill all the old, weak, sick and disabled.
These young men and women were kidnapped to the Sirius Kingdom and became their slaves. Later, even though the wolf cavalry had disappeared, the Sirius Kingdom would still send out owl monsters to kidnap people everywhere. This has been the case in the Lop Nur area for more than a thousand years.
One of the reasons why people often go missing is that people think they are buried in the yellow sand, but they never expect that they will be abducted into this dark underground world.
