Chapter 117 Search
It seemed like a hole was opened in the sky, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier. Under the influence of the strong wind, the raindrops seemed to have internal energy in them, slapped on their faces, and they felt a scorching pain.
The battle on the other side continued, but the sound was getting lower and lower, and the battle circle was moving up quickly.
Only a quarter of an hour later, Du Yong and Yang Jin could not hear the sound of fighting on the other side.
The two of them finished their efforts at the same time and stood up.
Yang Jin consumed a lot, but his willpower was amazing and his experience was rich. After meditating in the heavy rain for so long, his condition had recovered.
Although Du Yong did not participate in the battle just now, his consumption was not low. He was first shocked by the explosion of the firearm, and then ran wildly. During the run, he was inexplicably hit by two fists, and then he swam again. His foundation was not as thick as Yang Jin. After meditating, although his true energy almost returned to normal levels, his body was still tired and tight.
"Can it work?" Yang Jin asked with concern before leaving.
Du Yongqiang cheered up and patted his chest, confidently saying: "No problem."
Yang Jin took a sip of his true energy, jumped into the water, and swam quickly.
Du Yong twisted his neck and slid into the water to follow him. While swimming, he suddenly said nervously: "Brother Yang, the big black snake won't hide in the water to ambush us, right?"
When Yang Jin heard this, he became nervous and whispered: "Don't make such jokes, okay? I almost got scared by you and my legs were cramped."
Du Yong was very interesting and chuckled: "Brother Yang, it's rare for you to look like this. I thought you would look calm no matter what happens to you."
Yang Jin said angrily: "This kind of ghost weather, this big black snake, and a bunch of robbers. Our team is not united. Can I calm down?"
Du Yong comforted, "Isn't there any Master Zhao San?"
Yang Jin sighed: "I just said I was not worried about him, I just comforted myself. Those two big black snakes are so huge, I am afraid that Master Zhao San will not be able to withstand it. After all, he is old, and the old man is most afraid of getting wet from the cold rain."
After hearing what Yang Jin said so seriously, Du Yong suddenly regretted pulling Master Zhao San into the group. If he really had a few shortcomings, let alone the Zhao family didn't know how to explain it, even Du Yong himself would probably feel guilty for a long time.
Thinking of this, Du Yong speeded up and urged: "Then let's hurry up."
When the two climbed ashore, there was no movement around them, only a faint smell of blood was smelled.
As the saying goes, experts can see things at night, but that is only possible when there is a little light. Moonlight and starlight can do anything, but now there is not even a light source, so I can't see clearly at all.
Yang Jin wiped the rain from his face: "This won't work. You have to find a backpack, which has luminous stones in it."
"What did you say?" Du Yong didn't hear it clearly, so he jumped up and shook his head, shaking off the water in his ears. He was swimming a little anxiously just now, and both ears were filled with water.
"I said I was looking for a backpack, which contained luminous stones." Yang Jin came over and shouted loudly.
"Yes, yes, look for a backpack." Du Yong was a little excited and a little annoyed, and patted his forehead: "Why did you think of holding a luminous stone in your arms before?"
The so-called luminescent stone is a special crystal that can absorb sunlight and store it. It will be released in the darkness. Although the light emitted is very weak, it is very long-lasting and stable.
Luminous stones are not cheap, so He Laosan didn't buy a lot of them, just two in each backpack, the size of a baby's fist, a small hole was opened in the middle, and tied with a strong rope, which is very convenient to carry.
"The backpacks were all pressed under the shed, so we have to go there quickly. The terrain of that place is a little low. After a while, the river may come up."
Du Yong took the lead in running downstream.
Yang Jin followed closely behind, not daring to get too far away from Du Yong, for fear of any accident.
Soon, the two finally returned to the place where the shed collapsed.
The river has indeed flowed up, flooding its ankles.
Du Yong squatted on the ground, lifted up the thick banana leaves, and plucked off the messy branches of firewood, not caring about the pain in his fingers.
"Don't you have a knife? Why do you use your hands to pull it off?" Yang Jin did not squat down and groped, but instead picked it with a sword.
"I was a little nervous when I was escaping. I didn't hold the knife firmly and accidentally fell into the river. I wanted to fish it up, but the river water was too fast and was washed away instantly."
Du Yong explained with a wry smile, but his mind suddenly lit up. He reached back and touched the dagger given by Lingling, and immediately used the dagger to pick up the debris.
With the efforts of the two, the debris on it was quickly cleaned up and a backpack was found.
At this time, the water level rose to another level and reached the calf.
Yang Jin directly cut his backpack with his sword, and the things were scattered in the water, and a faint light immediately emitted around him.
Seeing the long-lost light, both of them were very calm and quickly picked up the luminous stone.
Du Yong hung the luminous stone around his neck, smiled proudly, and picked up a cloth bag filled with dried meat from the water, took it apart, grabbed the dried meat and stuffed it into his mouth. Although it was wet, the fragrance was still there, so there was no problem to fill it.
"Give me some." Yang Jin reached out, and to be honest, he was a little hungry.
Du Yong grabbed another handful, then handed the cloth bag over, glanced around, and wondered in his heart: "Why are there only one backpack left?"
Yang Jin chewed the jerky meat and sighed: "It must have been washed away by the water. It's pretty good. The team has dispersed and the things have gone. It seems that God just doesn't want us to visit the tomb. Now there is only one mission left, so I'll find Mr. Zhao San."
Du Yong nodded, continued to take the lead, and ran upstream.
With luminous stones, you can see clearly the situation on the ground.
I saw a vague deep groove on the ground, which had been washed by rain and was only a rough outline, extending far upwards, which should be the trajectory of the big black snake gliding.
In addition, there were footprints and various traces of fighting, as well as hats, scabbards, broken silver, etc. It was completely imagined how chaotic the scene was at that time.
Running up further, I saw many messy pits, which were blown out by firearms.
What's even more outrageous is that several feet of river bank were directly blown up, and the river water poured into the swamp on the right.
Du Yong braked, glanced around, and said, "Oh my God, how many firearms did Grandpa Zhao San ignited? Why did it look like the scene after the disaster?"
"Look at there!" Yang Jin pointed to the mound of soil not far away.
Du Yong looked over and found that there were three people lying on the mound of soil, swaying with the waves of water, not knowing whether it was life or death.
"I'll go over and take a look first."
Yang Jin soared into the air, jumped over three meters away, landed carefully on the pile of soil, and then raised his foot and kicked the three people gently.
"How is it?" Du Yong asked loudly.
Yang Jin squatted down, flipped them one by one, checked them carefully, and leaped back.
"Those who die can't die anymore. They are all broken waist and should be broken by their tails." Yang Jin explained.
"Is the big black snake so fierce?" Du Yong asked in surprise, "Who are they? Do you have teammates?"
Yang Jin sighed: "Two are robbers, and the other is... Xiao Luzi."
When Du Yong heard this, he was stunned on the spot, and an unspeakable feeling surged in his heart.
Yang Jin looked over and asked softly: "Are you a little sad?"
Du Yong smiled bitterly, remained silent for a while, and sighed, "If I had killed him when I just grabbed him, I would definitely not feel it. But now I have been together for a while and have worked hard to save him in the swamp... He is actually not bad, and I have a certain responsibility for his death. I originally thought that after visiting the tomb, I would give him money."
Yang Jin patted Du Yong on the shoulder and said lightly: "Actually, I feel a little uncomfortable, because Xiao Luzi is indeed not bad. But don't put his death on yourself. Those who walk in the world will have to face life and death in the end. Let's put his body on the shore first, and then bury him after the business is done. How about it?"
Du Yong let out a long sigh, nodded slightly, and suddenly remembered another question: "Why don't the big black snake swallow them?"
Yang Jin guessed: "It should be because the fight was too fierce, and they were not available."
This statement is not without reason.
The two brought Xiao Luzi's body to the river bank, made several large stones to block both sides, and then continued to move forward.
The trajectory and footprints of the big black snake were not broken, but it was becoming more and more messy.
After turning the big corner, I ran for about four miles, and the sliding trajectory and footprints all disappeared.
However, there are forks here, the river narrows, and there is a simple wooden bridge at the narrowest point. There are several wooden houses on the other side, perhaps the place where the robbers are located.
Du Yong squatted down and carefully looked at the wooden bridge. He found that there was no mark, and he immediately frowned.
Has the big black snake already won a great victory? Swallowed everyone and then fled into the river?
Yang Jin saw Du Yong's doubts and said in a deep voice: "The water level is so high and the water flows so fast, and it is normal that there is no mark on the bridge."
Du Yong asked, "What do you mean... everyone went to the other side?"
Yang Jin nodded affirmatively: "They ran so far but couldn't get rid of the big black snake. It's not very meaningful to run along the river bank. Only by fighting horizontally can you get vitality, so there is no reason for them to go beyond the bridge."
Du Yong felt it made sense, but he was still puzzled: "Then how did they see it clearly?"
Yang Jin said lightly: "Not long ago, didn't I hit lightning many times? You can see clearly by just taking a photo."
