We looked at each other and shook our heads helplessly. This road must be very difficult to walk, but now that we are here, we can only bite the bullet and go down.
These places are where the tree trunks are rotten but not completely rotten. Some places are still as hard as iron, but some places will turn into powder with just the slightest touch. So we walked very carefully, and almost every piece of cloth had to be passed through repeatedly.
I only dared to put my foot down after testing. Naturally, this speed was unsatisfactory. After climbing for more than an hour, I only covered half of the distance I just walked.
"Hutou, no wonder people say that it is easier to go up the mountain than to go down. Now I understand this sentence. It is so difficult for me to get down a tree. This job is really not done by humans. Otherwise, look at this rotten wood and it is so soft.
Yes, let’s have a good sleep before we leave?”
I was so tired that my shit was about to come out, and I felt a little discouraged after hearing what he said. I said you should stop talking. If you want to put it in the past, your words will be a serious crime of inciting the masses. This section of our road is
You have to go, you have to go, and you have to go even if you don’t want to go. Maybe you won’t want to leave as soon as you fall asleep. Have you never heard of that saying, your eyes are like a coward, your hands are like a hero, so don’t think about anything. Let’s
If you keep crawling, it might come to an end soon.
"Okay, Hutou, please stop talking. Why don't I leave? I find that talking to you is more tiring than climbing a tree."
At this moment, I suddenly felt that the rotten wood I had climbed on began to shake. I was startled, thinking that this piece of wood was going to fall, so I quickly climbed to another one next to it, but the same happened to this one. I kept changing it.
I've been to several places, but it's the same everywhere I go.
I finally felt that something was wrong. No matter how unlucky I was, there was no way something would go wrong somewhere. Then I suddenly saw the monkey lying tightly on a piece of wood motionless. It turned out that the piece of wood he was climbing on was also there.
It was shaking violently. I glanced at Shuiyue again, and it was the same, as if all the rotten wood suddenly came alive.
"Hutou, do you think this tree has become a spirit? The branches moved when we were up there, and now the rotten wood can also move. This is obviously an old monster!"
"Wang Fo, above." Shui Yue's voice came. I quickly looked up, only to find several huge black figures jumping back and forth between these rotten wooden pillars, moving towards us at a speed several times faster than ours.
Let's climb down here.
"It's a hozen." The monkey exclaimed, and I started to panic. Unexpectedly, what we were worried about happened. These hozens were obviously chasing us. Who told us to kill the big one and the small one on top?
But I didn't expect there to be so many of them, seven or eight in total, and they were all very huge. One of them was even more than two meters tall. With the current situation of the three of us, there was no chance of winning against them.
Without any hesitation, we climbed down as fast as possible. This was equivalent to a race against death. Any hesitation could lead to disaster.
I am the tallest among the three of us, but this advantage has now turned into a disadvantage. The gaps in these rotten woods are very narrow. Some places cannot accommodate my body at all, so I can only find a wider place.
But this delayed some time. In addition, my movements were the slowest, so I quickly fell behind them.
But those hozens were very fast, falling down a lot every time they jumped, especially the largest one, which was moving around on all four legs and was about to catch up behind me.
As a result, I became even more confused. Instead of speeding up, I became slower. Several times I stepped on the rotten wood. Fortunately, my reaction was quick enough, otherwise I would have fallen.
But in the end I was caught up. There was a very fierce hozen. It jumped down from the air a few meters away from me. I didn't pay attention for a moment, but it jumped onto my shoulder and almost missed me.
Smash it down.
The nails and teeth of these beasts are very sharp. Their claws dug into the flesh of my shoulders through my clothes, and their mouths bit directly into my neck. Fortunately, the clothes I wore had a thick collar.
Yes, I didn’t bite it through this time, otherwise my life would have been over.
After going through so many things, my psychological quality has also made great progress. Although I was nervous and scared at this time, I was not completely overwhelmed. At the critical moment, I remembered that there was still a troll on me, and I hurriedly took out a hand from my waist.
He put his backhand on the hozen's butt and fired twice.
I felt the hozen's body tremble, and then let out a shrill scream. It let go of my body with its claws and jumped onto the log behind. But I seized the opportunity and used the rabbit's nest trick.
He kicked the hozen on the belly.
There was another scream, and the hozen finally let go of its claws and fell down because it couldn't bear the pain. Coincidentally, there was a sharp piece of rotten wood underneath, which pierced the hozen in one go.
He definitely won't survive.
Before I could breathe a sigh of relief, the largest hozen had already arrived behind me. It was obviously smarter than the one just now. It did not jump on me, but stretched out an extraordinarily long arm to grab my back.
.
"Tsk" I felt a big hole in the clothes behind me, and then there was a burning pain in my back. I was annoyed, so I fired a shot with my backhand. As a result, the thing saw the opportunity to jump elsewhere early, and my
A bullet is wasted.
When I took back my hand, the big hozen jumped over again, this time harder, and grabbed me directly on the head. I was extremely horrified. If I was really caught this time, my life would probably be lost.
Left here.
"Bang bang" suddenly two gunshots rang out from below. It turned out that Shuiyue had stopped and was hiding in a narrow gap between two pieces of wood. When he saw me in danger, he shot to scare away the big hozen.
I also took the opportunity to crawl down quickly, but I accidentally stepped on a completely rotten raised wooden block, and my feet were suddenly empty. Since one hand was still holding the gun, the other hand could not bear the weight of the body at all.
So the whole person fell down.
I finished thinking, I don't know how deep this place is. If I fall, I will definitely die. The only hope is to not die so ugly. It would be too miserable to be smashed into a pulp. Meat cakes will do.
But I didn't expect that my luck was not extremely bad. My falling body fell right into the gap between two rotten trees. Because the gap was too narrow, I just stopped.
However, the fall was still serious. I was pinched by two rotten trees and my waist was almost broken. Monkey and Shuiyue quickly crawled over and helped me up. "Hutou, this won't work at all. I don't think we can run away at all."
They, these beasts run too fast, we have to find a way to catch them."
How to do it? I said, this is not flat ground, there is rotten wood everywhere, and you have to be careful not to step on the ground and fall down. You can't concentrate much on dealing with these difficult guys.
The monkey rolled his eyes and said, since offensive warfare and guerrilla warfare are both useless, then we will fight positional warfare. We will hide in one place and kill one of them if they come, and kill both of them if they come. There are three of us, and they also
There are only eight, no, one was killed just now, and now there are only seven left. Although this kind of place is not conducive to us, they are also unable to get around and swarm them. Doesn't this mean that it gives us an opportunity.
This makes sense to me. If you are entangled with these things, it will only become more dangerous if you leave. It is better to stop and have a good fight with them.
We moved laterally towards the other side of the tree cave, and soon found a gap in the middle of several rotten trees, but the problem was that the gap was too small, and it was impossible for the three of us to squeeze in.
And at this time, we didn't have time to look elsewhere. The hozens all surrounded us. Maybe they felt that the spray in our hands posed a huge threat to them, so they didn't pounce on them immediately, and they all bared their teeth in a threatening manner.
.
The three of us all shot them back with our backhands. I was about to ask them what to do, but Shuiyue simply pulled me, pushed me hard and stuffed me into the crevice, then ducked down and covered the whole nest.
In my arms.
"Hehe. Hutou, now that the beauty is in my arms, are you feeling a little itchy?" The monkey laughed strangely, and the man had already squeezed in from beside me, and immediately stuffed the entire crevice.
I rolled my eyes at him and automatically filtered his words. Anyway, this was not the first time that Shuiyue and I had been in close contact. We had carried each other on our backs and hugged each other. It would be nothing if we hugged each other for a while.
I could only observe the situation outside through the gap between their heads. The hozens had already surrounded us, and they were only a few meters away from us. There was a protruding piece of wood above us, and we couldn't stand on it at all, so
They were only approaching us parallel to each other. But the area in front of us was very narrow, with only three crawling at the head, and the other four following closely behind.
"Don't rush to take action. There are not many bullets, so don't waste it." Shuiyue said softly. She handed the spray gun in her hand to my hand and took out a military thorn from her waist. "Wang Fo, wait a minute.
They come and shoot again."
As soon as she finished speaking, the two hozens in the front kicked off their hind legs and rushed towards us in the air. This method was very detrimental to us, because even if I shot, they would still be able to move away due to inertia.
If you come in front of us and don't freeze, you will pose a great threat to us.
But at this time, I had no choice but to raise my hand and shoot the hozen. Naturally, it was a hit without any surprise at such a close distance. The hozen howled miserably, but its body was still moving quickly.
Rushing towards us.
When it jumped in front of us, Shuiyue in his arms suddenly moved. One hand hugged my neck, and the other hand held the military thorn and stabbed it hard into the heart of the hozen. Then he flew up and kicked me.
On its head, the hozen's body suddenly fell down, turned twice in the air, and then disappeared into the darkness.
