Chapter 11 Vine and Traitor(1/2)
The people who stayed in the cave confirmed again that there were no big grey worms hidden in the cave, and then took off their wet coats.
I jumped into the river before and my clothes were wet once, but the water was clear. After running, I was dry for half of it, and it was nothing. However, the rain in the mountains was a little dirty, and it would be very itchy when I fell on my hair, and it would be very sticky and uncomfortable.
Yu Xing took off his coat and long-sleeved T-shirt and only wore a sleeveless sports vest. He found himself out of place among a group of muscular and big-minded people.
He is actually not particularly thin. Although he is light in weight, this lightness is more or less related to his special physique, and his bones are denser than ordinary people.
This is also the reason why he acts particularly skillfully.
So he already has muscles, but among this group of muscle men, he actually looks particularly slender.
"It's outrageous... Anyone who stipulates that tomb robbers must be so strong." Yu Xing was a little dissatisfied and muttered in a low voice. He was about to fall to the same level as Aili here.
Ally obviously didn't think so. Ally thought San was a little more expensive than her.
As a "courageable" doctor, Aili cared for the only weak human in the team. Not only did she show a faint expression of pity when she saw San doing physical work, she also paid special attention to San's psychological condition, fearing that he would feel isolated.
Now, everyone rested on the cave wall and took out food to replenish their energy. Only Yu Xing didn't eat anything, so she frowned and reminded: "San, eat something, otherwise you will have no strength later."
Yu Xing was just not hungry. He felt that Aili had a tendency to spread the brilliance of his motherhood on him, and stopped it coldly in time: "I am not hungry, I will eat when I am hungry, thank you for your concern."
He sent Aili away and focused on the hole wall.
Although the cave walls were rough and covered with moss, he still tried to find some mark in it.
He had seen traces of grass at the entrance of the cave before, which showed that someone had been here before, and it meant that the rest time for the previous team was not far away.
If that team of people encounters the same situation as Brother Sun’s team, they are hiding from someone or something happens temporarily, they are likely to leave marks for their companions to identify.
Yu Xing searched for more than half an hour, but he didn't find it for the time being, so he gave up.
It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, and the entrance of the cave was rumbling. Everyone immediately became alert, but found that it was Finley.
Finley was soaked all over, throwing the branches on his hand into the hole, and sat down and gasping: "Damn it... I'm so exhausted..."
Everyone asked about their well-being, lit the branches happily, and began the first round of fire burning.
"Where is Brother Sun's poem wine and thorns?" Luke asked casually while twisting his clothes.
"There are too few branches that can be used, so we separate. I guess they will be back in a while." As soon as Finley came back, Yu Xing was not that abrupt, because Finley was also very "slim" in this team. He was thin and agile, which was more in line with the tomb robbers that Yu Xing imagined.
Yu Xing felt that others were not like tomb robbers or mercenaries.
At Brother Sun's instructions, Scar had to take good care of the painter San. He kept in mind the boss's instructions and set up a simple rack. Instead of baking clothes for himself, he took Yu Xing's T-shirt to bake.
Yu Xing enjoyed VIP service and was content with leisure. He touched the paint tube buttoned by his waist and felt the comfortable touch from the surface of the paint tube. Sure enough, not long after, Brother Sun also came back.
The people in the cave had a rest for a while, and their energy was fully nourished, and they gradually became lively. They were nervous before by the big gray worms, but now they finally got safe. They seemed to have forgotten Ade's death and were chatting and laughing loudly.
"Where are Shijiu and Thornhead? Are you lost?" Scar had already returned the dry clothes to Yu Xing and was baking his own clothes. He saw that so long had passed, and it was a little strange.
"That's right, they won't encounter anything after so long, right?" Aaron was also a little worried. He asked Brother Sun, "Brother Sun, are you four leaving separately?"
Brother Sun's face was a little serious. He glanced at the quiet team members and said, "We separated after walking not long after, and agreed not to go too far. Later, when I returned, I searched for it specifically, but I didn't see anyone. I thought I was the last one to come back."
The cave warmed up, but a chill broke out in the hearts of the team.
"I didn't see the signal flare and didn't listen to the call for help. What's going on?" Luke looked bearded and looked very ferocious, but after spending just a few hours together, Yu Xing realized that he was actually the relatively pure one in this team.
"Is something really wrong?" Ali became entangled.
"Or why I'll go and look for it." Luke couldn't help it. He liked the straightforward girl of Shijiu very much. He stood up and took the initiative to apply to Brother Sun, "I'll bring pesticides and signal guns. I'll ask for help immediately when I see anything. Let me go and look for it?"
Brother Sun calculated the time and found that it was unlikely that nothing would happen.
He nodded and said decisively: "Okay, the rain is much smaller now than before. Aaron, go with Luke. Don't leave separately for the two of you, be careful."
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
A sound of friction and sliding came from Yu Xing's ears, which was very slight, but it was constantly approaching him, coming from - above.
In this forest, his first reaction was that there was a snake.
But when this sound came from all directions, he knew it was impossible. When he came in, the team checked the environment. It was impossible that there were so many snakes hidden and they were not discovered.
On the top of the head, there are large tracts that can slide like snakes... only those vines that look not much different from ivy!
Yu Xing reacted very quickly and pounced forward, almost pounced on Scar, who was drinking water. Scar was startled by him. Before he could ask what was going on, he heard Yu Xing shouting: "Look at it!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Everyone subconsciously looked up.
On top of their heads, static "crawlers" crawled alively, swimming down the cave wall. The originally green vines had already torn off their disguise and turned into a poisonous deep purple, exposing the barbs hidden in the leaves.
Looking around, in the small cave, snake-like vines are densely packed, showing unconcealed aggressiveness.
"Damn!"
No matter where the accent was, the same national curse broke out at this moment. Finley immediately pulled out the dagger and said irritably: "What a fuck!"
No one knows what this is. Not only are they many, but the transition from stationary to activity is completed very quickly, and even the speed of crawling towards everyone is very fast!
Yu Xing's ankle hurt and he had almost no time to dodge, so he was wrapped around a few vines. He looked down and saw that they were the first vines to climb down, with the thickness of the little finger, which was really very similar to a snake. He actually ejected at him at a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye and wrapped around him.
His ankles were originally wrapped in military boots, but just now, everyone took off the military boots and hung their pants legs. He was no exception. Although the military boots were put on, the pants legs were not stuck in, which gave Vine to take advantage of them.
The deep purple vine was tough and ferocious. The barbs on it pierced into Yu Xing's ankle. With the pull of the vine, the barbs hooked a few strands of flesh and pulled them back. The pain was even more unbearable than being cut by someone.
"I'll go, it hurts!" Alice was also scratched. Although she didn't know where she was injured, she was obviously very angry. The others were not as good as it happened too suddenly and the space was too small. This was the home court of Vine.
Brother Sun kicked the fire in his movements, and the vines seemed to be even more excited. Yu Xing guessed that if they had mouths, they would probably be making screams.
"Go out quickly, let's go out first!" Brother Sun shouted and crawled out of the hole. Seeing this, the vines rushed towards him frantically, as if they were consciously preventing him from leaving.
Brother Sun was wrapped around his neck by the vines coming, cursed, and rushed out with the pain of tearing, and then cut off the vines on his neck.
Finley scolded: "This is not a cave, it's the old nest of this shit!"
Luke and Aaron had not had time to go out to find someone, and they had already stood up. They were closest to the cave and found that vines were gathering at the entrance of the cave. They hurriedly reminded: "Don't waste time, bring supplies and rush quickly. If the cave is late, they will be blocked by them!"
Yu Xing gave up the wonderful scene of the vines screaming that appeared inappropriately in his mind. He narrowed his eyes, pulled out the dagger in his sleeve, and used a small rolling sideways that did not press the paint cylinder to find the right position, aimed at the vine wrapped around his ankles and chopped it down.
The scar next to him was originally planning to help, but he was stunned when he saw this. He looked at Yu Xing deeply before going to grab his backpack.
Although the vines are weird, they are still plants after all, and they are not comparable to sharp metals. When Yu Xing took a dagger, the vines broke down in response to the sound, and no strange liquid flowed out, only half of the milky white hard bone-like object fell out.
Yu Xing stared at the thing for a second, but before he could figure out what it was, the vine attacked again. He reached out and grabbed the bone-like object and put it in his pocket. He opened the way with the dagger in his right hand, pulled the strap with the backpack in his left hand, and rushed out with everyone.
There were indeed the most vines at the entrance of the cave. They quickly formed a large net. Looking at the dense barbs on the Internet, everyone took a breath.
If this is covered, you must not be stripped alive on the spot?
At this time, Brother Sun, Finley, Aaron and Luke had all gone out, only Scar, Ali, Yu Xing and two unknown teammates were still trapped in the hole.
It's strange that these vines only gathered at the entrance of the cave and did not poke out at all. They were temporarily safe after they went out.
Brother Sun shouted outside: "Scar!"
Scar understood and actually pulled out a flame gun from his bag and sprayed it at the vines around him.
This move shocked everyone. Even Yu Xing looked at him unexpectedly, because he knew at a glance that this was a military liquid fuel flamethrower, with a much more lethality than a commercial flame gun. Brother Sun and Scar could actually get such things. I have to say that there is really a way to go.
Plants are afraid of fire, which is almost unchanging. The flames can effectively evaporate the water in the plants and destroy the internal tissues of the plants. These vines are no exception. After being burned part of them, they finally retreated to the side. But at the same time, the vines behind several people were not willing to be outdone, and took advantage of their clones to create several wounds on them.
Aaron and Luke outside were also helping to clear the vines at the entrance of the cave, and finally opened a loophole in the net formed by the vines. Ali was pushed out the first one, then Yu Xing, and then two team members. Scar successfully took out after harvesting a scar.
The only good news is that the rain is almost stopped, with only the thin threads left.
A group of people slumped on the ground, even more embarrassed than before entering the cave.
"Quickly, deal with the wound and see if it is poisonous." Brother Sun urged him not to let them rest.
They were really scared by the poison of the big gray worm. This time they all had their skins broken. If it was poisonous, the whole team would probably have to stop.
"No poison, I saw it right away..." Alice was still shocked, but she had excellent professional qualities and gave her a reassurance, "Oh my god... it's so scary. The first time I saw a plant that is more agile than an animal."
"Who isn't it? Oh, it's so evil, are the plants in the mountains becoming sperm?" sighed a man with whiter skin who was still unknown to Yu Xing.
Yu Xing was next to him and quietly glanced at the sign on his bag - Yin Zi.
He withdrew his gaze.
Yin Zi's words aroused everyone's response. Aaron covered his neck. He was in similar situation to Brother Sun. A few strands of flesh were torn off from his fragile neck, which made them patient with the ruthlessness in their bones.
Aaron said: "So what's going on with this thing? Could it be that it's really alive?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! "No." Yu Xing's eyebrows and eyes were lowered, staring at the soil on the ground and didn't know what he was thinking. His voice was unexpected. Everyone looked at him and heard him say, "It's fire. After we make the fire, the temperature and humidity in the cave change, which activates the viciousness of the vines."
"It makes sense. I am a cultural person. My mind is quick." Yin Zi praised.
Now everyone has injuries on their bodies, and they are still the kind of laceration that hurts when they touch it. Basically, some flesh is left on the vines. They are not in the mood to say too much. After chatting for a while, they start to look at the injuries.
They themselves are quite experienced. Since they are not poisonous, they are embarrassed to let Aili take care of them and take out the bandages and bandage them.
Finley laughed, rolled his arms and said in an unknown tone: "Yes, Scar, it turns out that what Brother Sun trusts the most is you, and he actually lets you hide such a big killer weapon?"
Scar ignored his sarcasm and replied: "Yes, Brother Sun is more at ease with me."
Then he took the bandage and medicine to find Yu Xing: "To be honest, I guess you can see that too. Brother Sun asked me to take good care of you all the way... I'll bandage it for you."
Yu Xing smiled. He naturally knew that Scar had noticed his skills in the hole just now: "I'll do it myself. In fact, you really don't have to treat me as a fragile product that I can't do anything. My family is from a good place. I used to play extreme sports, so I can tolerate it much more than you imagined."
"That's it." Scar touched the stubble on his chin and praised, "It's really a bad person. Then I envy you. People like you are good-looking and have good looks must be very popular with women."
Yu Xing ignored this topic. After this time, he had a new understanding of the team's personnel.
