This bloody and filthy smell exploded like Xiao Chen's body, filling the stream at the bottom of the valley. In addition, some fragments of body tissue fell in all directions. Although they did not fall directly on them, they did not.
within their field of vision.
Such a tragic situation undoubtedly caused a huge psychological impact.
A good girl like Yu Siyuan, who grew up in a honeypot, bent down on the spot and vomited.
Xu Chunru grabbed Yu Siyuan and pressed her body tightly against the edge of the boulder to avoid being exposed.
The monster's aiming ability is astonishing, and if there is even the slightest flaw, it will most likely lead to disaster.
Sure enough, as soon as Xu Chunru pulled Yu Siyuan's body back behind the boulder, there was a pop from where she was bending down, and a fist-sized stone hit them accurately, causing a splash of water that fell on them.
Yu Siyuan was so frightened that his face turned pale and he could hardly stand on his feet.
If Xu Chunru hadn't grabbed her and hit her forehead with such an amazingly powerful stone, the flower would have been opened directly.
"Sister Ru, thank you." Yu Siyuan looked sad and thanked her with a trembling voice.
"Stay steady, don't worry, maybe Jiang Yue and the others have passed." Xu Chunru comforted her in a low voice, hugging Yu Siyuan's shoulders.
Du Yifeng hid behind the same boulder as the two of them. He was not particularly concerned about Yu Siyuan's distress, and kept staring at it with complicated eyes.
Unfortunately, hiding behind a boulder, the view was obviously affected.
Faced with the furious monster and the crazy rain of stones, no matter how courageous Du Yifeng was, he didn't dare to go out to check.
"Yifeng, who was the person who screamed just now? Is he a boy?"
Xu Chunru took a deep breath and asked in a low voice.
Heart-rending screams are different from normal sounds and are relatively difficult to distinguish. After all, hysterical screams are so loud that their throats are broken, so the distinction is not high.
But he must be a boy, there is no doubt about it.
"Sister Ru, are you worried that it's Jiang Yue? Don't worry, if only one of those five people can survive, it will definitely be Jiang Yue."
Xu Chunru nodded seriously: "It's definitely not Jiang Yue."
"I guess it's one of Brother Zhi's group, not Brother Zhi." Du Yifeng's tone was vaguely regretful.
In Du Yifeng's view, if there was no existence of Brother Zhi, the group would basically be leaderless. When the time comes to divide the rough stones, they might be able to cheat or even fall out.
They are all examiners anyway. No one knows anyone else, so what can they do if they cheat? Whoever has the bigger fist has the final say.
But if Brother Zhi is still here, this wishful thinking will probably not come true.
Considering this aspect, Du Yifeng naturally did not want anything to happen to Jiang Yue.
If something really happened to Jiang Yue, whether their group could get the rough stone was the next best thing. Du Yifeng even doubted whether people like Brother Zhi would fall out on the spot and even kill someone and silence him?
The monster's furious state finally subsided after a period of crazy venting.
Some calm finally returned to the bottom of the valley, and the monster could only be heard roaring, and its violent emotions seemed to be under control.
After the movement subsided, Du Yifeng carefully stuck out half of his head and looked towards the mountain road.
The monster was probably tired. He was half-lying against the mountain wall with the help of two big trees, breathing heavily from his mouth and nose. His huge body still looked extremely scary from this distance.
There was no movement on the mountain road, and there was no sign of Jiang Yue and others.
Du Yifeng quietly climbed up to the boulder and took a look at the half of his body that was hit by the boulder. The various body tissues were completely shapeless and bloody.
From the clothes, we can barely tell that this guy is indeed from Brother Zhi's group. If I remember correctly, this guy's surname is Chen, and he is a relatively low-key young man.
Du Yifeng felt deeply regretful.
Why not Brother Zhi?
Even if it’s not Brother Zhi? Why isn’t it the guy he had an argument with earlier about the body search?
"Yifeng, what's going on up there?" Xu Chunru asked with concern.
"The others should have passed."
"Great, then who is up there?" Xu Chunru asked obviously the person who was killed by the monster.
"That young man named Chen."
There are only ten people in total. Although they are not familiar with each other, they have some impressions.
"Oh, it's good if he passes. I hope his sacrifice is worth it." Xu Chunru murmured.
Du Yifeng rolled down from the boulder, but he still looked worried and worried.
"They all passed, what are you worried about?"
"Sister Ru, to be honest, do you believe they won't hide anything? I always feel that in the face of such a precious rough stone, one of which can change the fate of an ordinary person, who can not be greedy? Who doesn't have a little bit of Xiao Jiujiu in his heart?"
Du Yifeng expressed his concerns.
This is not because Du Yifeng is suspicious, anyone would have such concerns.
Xu Chunru also had it, but her temperament was different from Du Yifeng's. She was just suspicious and would not say it outright.
"Yifeng, don't think too much. I think Jiang Yue is quite upright. He shouldn't bother to do that, right?"
"I admit that Jiang Yue is reliable, but... facing such an important rough stone, we cannot completely rule out the possibility that he will make some small moves."
Yu Siyuan suddenly said weakly: "Aren't you going to search me? Where else can you hide it? You can't eat it in your stomach, right? You can't swallow such a raw stone with amazing energy, right?"
Xu Chunru said, "Yifeng, your thinking is wrong. What we should be wary of is not Jiang Yue, but the other party's group, right?"
"It's all the same." Du Yifeng sighed, "I hope they are not too dark-hearted, and they can get a share of three melons and two dates. It's a pity that I got the bait because of my bad luck. Otherwise, why would I be so worried?"
"The bait is not bad. At least we have completed the mission without any casualties."
Du Yifeng said: "Five people died, only one died, and the survival rate reached 80%. This probability is already worth the risk."
The three of them were talking when suddenly a small stone fell in front of them not far away.
But it was thrown from behind another boulder.
The only girl in Brother Zhi's group, Xu Chunru remembered that her name was Zhou Yi, and this girl was poking her head towards them and gesturing at them.
The distance between the two sides is about ten meters.
"Have you seen Brother Hao?"
Zhou Yi lowered her voice and asked in a low voice, sounding quite anxious.
Brother Hao?
Is it Brother Hao who works with them as bait?
Xu Chunru and Du Yifeng both looked puzzled.
Brother Hao and Zhou Yi are in the same group. The two of them are hiding behind the boulder over there.
When he was the bait before, Brother Hao was always the most active and the loudest one, and he was also the first to jump onto the boulder.
Shouldn't he hide behind the boulder with Zhou Yi?
Why is Zhou Yi so ridiculous and comes to ask them instead?
Although this stream is rugged with strange rocks and full of troubled times, Brother Hao is a living person after all. He is hiding with Zhou Yi. There is no reason why he would disappear for no reason, but Zhou Yi is completely unaware of it?
It's broad daylight, so it can't be blown away by a gust of wind, right?
Xu Chunru asked in a low voice: "Brother Hao, hasn't he always been with you?"
Zhou Yi said with a sad face: "He was hiding with me, but he...but he disappeared."
"Are you being funny? A big living person disappeared under your nose?" Du Yifeng almost cried with laughter.
He has always felt that Yu Siyuan is a pig teammate. From this point of view, this Zhou Yi is more worthy of the title of pig teammate than Yu Siyuan.
Xu Chunru glanced at the monster on the mountain wall and saw that the monster was generally calm and should not be in any danger for the time being.
The distance between the two boulders is ten meters, and it takes about two to three seconds to walk across it. Even if the monster reacts, it probably won't be that fast.
"Go over and take a look." Xu Chunru suggested.
Du Yifeng shook his head: "People's hearts are unpredictable, so don't go."
"What do you mean?" Xu Chunru frowned.
"Haha..." Du Yifeng turned around and whispered, "Who knows if Brother Hao is really missing? What if he is hiding on the other side of the boulder?"
"Since when has it happened that it's necessary for people to make such lame jokes?"
"A joke? Who is kidding you? Sister Ru, if you divide the rough stone between nine people, you will get more, or if you divide it with six people, you will get more? You should understand such a simple math problem."
Xu Chunru changed her color in shock: "You mean..."
"We can use it as bait to catch that monster. Who can guarantee that the so-called missing person is not another bait? Just lead us there, and then..."
Du Yifeng wiped it on his neck and made a motion of cutting his throat.
Xu Chunru was stunned and speechless for a moment.
After a long time, she composed herself and said to herself: "Why do I think it's not that complicated? If they really have this idea, why bother to involve us? If five people act, don't they get more?"
"Haha, five people are not enough. If something unexpected happens midway and it becomes three or four people, it will be even more difficult. Anyway, it doesn't matter how many more cannon fodder you have. After you complete the task, you can just kill the cannon fodder."
Xu Chunru was still a little doubtful: "After they succeed, they have to come down, right? Our baits are still effective. Isn't it too early to kill people and silence them? Yifeng, I see that you have been thinking a lot lately."
Du Yifeng sneered, he had no intention of convincing Xu Chunru.
Anyway, he would definitely not go there to check. He really didn't care at all whether Brother Hao was dead or alive. It would be best if he was really dead.
But he had a strong intuition that Brother Hao was definitely not dead.
This guy who wears glasses and is taciturn is even more difficult to deal with than Brother Zhi.
While the two were talking, Yu Siyuan suddenly glanced in front of the stream in surprise, pointing to the mountain wall dozens of meters away, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Isn't that Brother Hao?" Xu Chunru also saw it and exclaimed.
Du Yifeng's face instantly turned ugly: "This old fox!"
He never expected that Brother Hao would secretly continue to run towards the front of the canyon while the monster was paying attention to them.
After passing this dangerous area and avoiding the monster's attack range, he climbed up the mountain wall again. It can be said that the risk was reduced a lot.
According to visual inspection, the position he is currently climbing is fifty or sixty meters away from the monster. With such a long distance and without the advantage of being at a commanding height, it is basically difficult for an attack by throwing stones to be effective.
Xu Chunru murmured: "Is this considered cheating? Is this considered a violation of the agreement?"
"Of course!" Du Yifeng was annoyed. No wonder this guy took the initiative to run ahead, occupying a further position, and took the initiative to go to more dangerous areas.
That was the original idea.
Du Yifeng was a little annoyed, and he even admired Brother Hao's courage.
It's a pity that if he wants to follow suit now, there is basically no possibility of success if others don't give him cover.
"Let me tell you, this group of people has no good intentions from the beginning, and everyone has their own evil intentions. Especially this Brother Hao, he is the most insidious!"
Du Yifeng couldn't get there. If he had a gun at hand now, he wouldn't even mind firing a few shots in that direction.
What about that monster? Why don't you do it?
Is there any way to make that monster discover Brother Hao?
Du Yifeng thought about it over and over, but still couldn't think of any way.
The monster may not understand human speech, and yelling at it may not make it pay attention to Brother Hao. Instead, it may anger the monster again and continue to launch a fierce attack on their side.
No way!
I could only watch helplessly as Brother Hao climbed up the mountain road with great agility and disappeared from sight little by little.
Xu Chunru said worriedly: "Brother Hao is not simple. He also went to the impact zone. I'm worried that Jiang Yue and the others will suffer."
Brother Hao entered the impact zone, and the ratio of the two groups returned to three to two.
Xu Chunru didn't have many conspiracy theories at first, but seeing Brother Hao not following the rules and not playing his cards as agreed, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
He glanced at Zhou Yi on the other side with complicated eyes.
Judging from the confused look on her face, it seems that in Brother Hao's eyes, Zhou Yi, the so-called "accomplice", is probably just an outcast who can be sacrificed at any time.
"Then what should we do now?" Yu Siyuan asked blankly.
"What else can we do? Wait!"
Du Yifeng gritted his teeth. He wanted to go through it, but he also knew that this was a life-and-death risk. The opportunity was fleeting, and there was no chance to pass it by now.
…
After Jiang Yue and others heard Xiao Chen's screams, they didn't wait too long and continued to set off.
Coming to a corner, Jiang Yue said to Brother Zhi: "Brother Zhi, I have to go over there. There is a task that needs to be solved. You guys go to the impact area and wait for me?"
Brother Zhi was taken aback. At what time did it matter whether the task was a task or not?
Before Brother Zhi said anything, the man who had quarreled with Du Yifeng said displeasedly: "Time waits for no one, and we have no obligation to wait around."
Jiang Yue smiled slightly: "You can think of a way to get down first. You don't have to wait for me."
The impact area is not a flat ground, but is located on a cliff in the middle of the mountain. Even if you have the skills of an ape, climbing up may not be easy. The awakened person will definitely be in trouble. He needs to use tools, think of various ways, and make various plans according to the terrain.
The man wanted to say something more, but Brother Zhi stopped him: "Brother Jiang, let's go there first, and you can come over and meet us as soon as possible."
