Chapter 409: Journey to Escape
The monster Yun Wangen greeted also had a spear in his hand. Before Yun Wangen could see the opponent clearly, the opponent's spear struck Yun Wangen with a streak of silver light.
Yun Wangen only had to take half a step back before his thigh was pierced by a sharp spear.
He yelled, sat down on the ground, and threw aside the spear in his hand. Yun Wangen finally saw it clearly. The monster seemed to have two ostrich-like legs and body, and two short and thick legs.
His arms looked particularly strong.
The monster's giant, knotted and webbed gray-white claws, shaped like chicken claws, directly grabbed Yun Wangen's head. With this claw, his head must have been as strong as the Silver Star warrior possessed by the monster.
Caught to pieces Just when Yun Wangen was desperate, a white light suddenly flashed beside him, and a silver spear stabbed the ostrich monster in front of him in the abdomen.
At that moment, Yun Wangen had clearly seen the appearance of the ostrich monster: a head with round eyes and a wide mouth, the size of a fist, with a slender and curved neck attached to the bottom. A few sparse gray hairs
Swaying gently in the breeze.
The ostrich monster looked up to the sky and made a "vomiting" sound. With two hands, it weakly grabbed a spear that was shot into its chest, and slowly fell backwards.
Yun Wangen was already stunned. When he turned his head to look, he saw that Li Yousheng had grabbed another spear beside him and rushed towards Tang Xuan.
"It's him! It's him who saved me!" Yun Wangen's mind went blank. Suddenly he yelled: "I don't need you to save me, I will die if I die!" He sat on the ground and yelled, pulling the hair on his thigh.
He pulled out the spear, pulled a piece of cloth, and tied the wound tightly. He gritted his teeth, held the spear, and limped to Tang Xuan's side.
The three of them worked together to deal with an ostrich monster. Even so, there was no chance of winning. In the end, almost all the team members gathered around, and the sound of gunshots and shouts was heard.
The ostrich monster huddled its fist-sized head in front of its chest, and a burst of white light appeared all over its body. It spread out its two slender thighs and quickly disappeared into the darkness. It screamed strangely while running, which seemed to be something other than talking.
Human words.
"It seems that only its own spear can kill it. Fortunately, there are only two." Tang Xuan looked at the short knife in his hand and sighed.
"What on earth is this spear?!" Yun Wangen held a spear and looked left and right under the dim skylight.
"Maybe it's a kind of bone we've never seen before." Tang Xuan said as he came to the dead body of the ostrich monster. He kicked the fist-sized ostrich monster's head twice with his leather boots.
Then he pulled out the spear stuck in its chest.
Sima Xiaomei quickly ran over and spread an old bag she carried with her on the ground: "Yun Wangen, sit down quickly!"
"Oh, Xiaomei..." Yun Wangen didn't say much, sitting on the grass with his spear pole in his hand. He watched Sima Xiaomei neatly pull off the cloth strip from his thigh, and then apply medicine and bandage on him. He
There was some joy in his eyes, and he murmured: "It's better for Xiaomei to take me, hehe, I'd rather get hurt more than die..."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Sima Xiaomei raised her pretty face and said angrily.
Li Yousheng came to his side: "Hurry up, we will catch up in a moment." He glanced at Yun Wangen beside him.
Yun Wangen sneered: "Don't think that because you saved me, I owe you a favor."
Li Yousheng snorted coldly and squeezed out a few words through his teeth: "Our business is not over yet."
Tang Xuan was slightly stunned, and regardless of the two people stumbling over each other, he immediately turned around and shouted: "Quick, let's retreat!"
Yun Wangen limped behind, leaning on a spear. He looked back a few times in horror: "Team Tang, Captain Tang!"
Tang Xuan stopped: "What?"
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Yun Wangen's eyes: "It's a northwest wind now. Damn it, why don't we set this wasteland on fire? If we can't burn them to death, we can stop them."
Tang Xuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay! We are heading north now and will not be affected!"
Starting from the bottom of the cliff, the armored vehicle traveled northeast at high speed, pouring two barrels of diesel into the grass as it went. After traveling for a full kilometer, a fire was thrown into the grass.
The fiery red edge extends toward the cliff and spreads toward the southeast.
The dark night is endless. On the wasteland, a fire suddenly bursts into flames. The shrubs, wild trees and grass taller than a person's head instantly turned into tongues of flames. Countless sparks rose into the sky along with the slight northwest wind, illuminating the sky.
A vast and desolate wilderness.
By the light of the fire, Tang Xuan saw several gray backs wandering and retreating outside the line of fire.
"Let's go quickly!" Tang Xuan shouted.
"If the field team could be here, we would be safe. Alas!" Yun Wangen sighed and followed the armored vehicles.
The armored vehicle quickly fled northeast.
"We have gone too far." Tang Xuan said, scratching his head, "If we continue like this, in another three hundred kilometers, we will reach Lulinhe City in the northwest. In order to track that thing, we completely deviated from the patrol route
.”
"What does it matter? We have to spend a week in the wilderness anyway." Yun Wangen said.
"The deeper you go into this wasteland, the more dangerous it becomes. No one has been here for many years," Tang Xuan said. The armored vehicle was bumping on the wasteland in the dark night, and the headlights in front of it were shaking violently in the grass.
"We have traveled nearly a hundred kilometers, and it's time to turn back to the southeast," Yun Wangen said.
"If the direction is good, we will encounter a post supply station on the way back. We used too much diesel to set the fire. We can get replenished there," Tang Xuan said.
"I don't know if the Blood Spirit Root and these ostrich monsters will fight if they meet together." A team member muttered in a low voice.
"They will, they are definitely not the same thing." Tang Xuan said.
"We haven't heard of blood spirit root parasitism happening here, but it's really scary." Sima Xiaomei said.
"Will you tell me if I'm parasitized?" Yun Wangen said.
Tang Xuan said: "Don't worry. It won't be long before the strong men from the wilderness team will definitely come to our place. They can find the parasite."
"Captain, we found a ruins ahead!" said the driving team member.
"Let's stop for a moment and see if we can take a rest in these ruins." Tang Xuan said.
"But..." Li Yousheng had some objections, but he didn't say any more. The armored vehicle stopped in front of a broken cement pillar.
"Let's take a look around." Tang Xuan said and got out of the car with a gun. A beast roar suddenly sounded from the grass not far away, and a black shadow rushed directly towards Tang Xuan.
Tang Xuan reacted very quickly, turned the muzzle of the gun on his chest, and shot out bullets in a flurry. The black shadow let out a miserable howl and fell into the grass.
Tang Xuan turned on the flashlight, and it turned out to be a blood wolf. "Everyone, be careful!" He waved his hand.
All the team members got out of the car one after another.
"The ruins from a thousand years ago are really solid." Yun Wangen followed Tang Xuan, limping forward, muttering from time to time.
"There is a basement entrance there." Li Yousheng, who was not far away, said coldly, and a flashlight's bright light shone at a place not far away.
"Oh? Let's take a look." Tang Xuan turned around with interest. The three team members stood guard around the armored vehicle consciously, and the rest of them all walked towards the basement entrance.
The entrance is under a concrete floor. It is a large black hole that is as tall as a person and more than half a meter wide. The surrounding cement walls have long been weathered to a dilapidated state, and the thick grass more than one meter high on the ground shows that
No one has been here for many years.
Li Yousheng held the ostrich monster's spear in one hand and kept pushing away the weeds. He held a flashlight in the other hand and walked into the cave first. A cold wind in the cave rushed towards him, mixed with some fishy smell, and suddenly there was another wave.
A low roar came out, two blood-red lights flashed in the darkness, and suddenly a black shadow flashed towards Li Yousheng.
'Da da da...' Behind Li Yousheng, the submachine gun in Tang Xuan's hand rang out. With the sound of the shells hitting the ground, two heavy objects also hit the ground. Li Yousheng shined his flashlight and saw two wolf corpses.
Blood is flowing from the chest.
"This place is really good. Let's guard the entrance of the cave. I don't think those ostrich monsters can do anything to us." Tang Xuan looked around with his flashlight and said to himself.
This is a basement of about forty to fifty square meters. The left side is intact, while the right side is completely filled in by the ruins that collapsed from above. On the ground, there are some weeds growing in the soil, and some animal bones are scattered here and there.
"Indeed, I'm exhausted." Fatty Yun Wangen grunted.
"It just smells bad." Sima Xiaomei fanned her hands and covered her nose. She looked around with her two big, smart eyes and suddenly screamed.
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a dead skeleton sitting on the stone wall, motionless.
The two team members worked hard to get the pile of human bones out of the cave. Tang Xuan decided to rest here overnight and go to the supply station tomorrow.
It was a quiet night. The two team members held their guns and dozed off in the grass at the entrance of the cave. In the basement, the even breathing of the team members continued to be heard.
In the darkness, a red worm as thin as an earthworm slowly poked out from the soil in the corner of the wall. The worm only crawled out halfway. It was like a small tree root with tentacles all over its body. Once it poked its head out,
Come, the blood-red tentacles are waving gently, as if they are detecting the breath in the basement, followed by another, then two. There are more than a dozen!
They waved their thick roots, stood upright silently, and moved gently on the ground without making a sound.
