Chapter 15: The Land of Bones

"What?"

Everyone shouted in shock, originally the sixth child was in the middle of the team, and was protected by everyone. All along, the team has been orderly, and it was only when rescuing the third child that the team was chaotic for such a moment. But I didn't expect that in such a moment, the sixth child had already disappeared!

Originally, the disappearance of Lao Jiu had already made the "Hunter" expedition team unstable, and now the disappearance of Lao Liu has made this fragile team even worse

Everyone looked at Xionghu in unison, and the pleading in their eyes was no different.

In fact, not only the "Hunter" expedition team, but even Ah Lian in the Lifeng team felt a little scared, after all, it was the first time she had participated in such a terrifying expedition.

The disappearance of two members in a row also put a lot of pressure on Xionghu, and coupled with the pleading of all the team members, it also made it difficult for him. But before he set off, he made up his mind that he must uncover the mystery of the Kunlun Hell Gate, so he just stubbornly suppressed the worries of all the members, and explained: "Everyone, we have just taken a step forward on the Great Wall, do you want to turn back again?" ”

However, the sixth and ninth "team members are worried, and they are afraid that they will also encounter this situation.

"I think I know why the hell they're missing!" In such a tense moment, Xionghu said such things for the first time.

At this moment, everyone in the "Hunter" expedition widened their eyes and listened intently.

The four of them also listened with great interest, the disappearance of the sixth and ninth children was difficult for them to explain correctly, what insight could this male beard have?

Under everyone's gaze, Xionghu pointed to the place where the third child broke away in front of him, and said, "Look what this is. ”

"Thawing permafrost!" Someone exclaimed.

There are also people who suddenly realized: "Captain, you mean"

Xionghu laughed: "That's right, thawed permafrost!" The valley floor of the Kunlun Mountains has formed a permafrost layer up to several hundred meters thick due to the climate. In winter, it freezes, but during this season, the ice near the surface melts, creating many deep underground pools and rivers. It's like the meadow where the Red Army used to be, covered with grass on the surface, but full of traps underneath! The sixth and the ninth, the eighth and the ninth are inseparable from the ten, because they accidentally fell into the underground dark river! ”

He explained it very reasonably, but there were doubts in many places, and someone pointed it out to his face: "But captain, the third brother can even call for help when he steps on it, but the sixth brother and the ninth brother disappeared without any movement, how can this be explained?" ”

"It's very simple, the deep pool they fell into had almost no resistance, and there was no time to call for help! As long as we can avoid these deep pools and dark rivers in the future, we will definitely be safe! ”

Xionghu swore an oath, and the members of the "Hunter" expedition finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Only the four people disdain, this explanation is too far-fetched. The place where Lao Jiu disappeared didn't touch the underground river at all, but he was still missing! The place where the sixth child walked, all the others had walked, but he was the only one who disappeared, can this still be explained by the underground river?

The members of the "Hunter" expedition are not fools, and they naturally know this truth. But they didn't break it very well, after all, the captain refused to give the order to retreat, and they also needed a psychological comfort, otherwise they would have a nervous breakdown sooner or later.

Being able to upgrade to the D rank, the equipment of the "Hunter" expedition will naturally not be too bad. I saw that Xionghu took out a disc-shaped detection instrument from his backpack and scanned it in front of him, and the disc showed different colors. In this way, the male beard can judge the hardness of the land.

took a few steps forward with the team, but Xionghu suddenly found that the four of Lifeng had not followed, so he asked: "Brother Lifeng, you"

"Brother Xionghu, we want to go another way, so let's leave it at that." Lifeng said with a smile, the companionship of the super expedition team and the ordinary expedition team was a bit incredible, and Lifeng had been with them for so long, if he really said it, it would definitely make the other arrogant super expedition teams laugh out of their big teeth.

There is a banquet all over the world, and the four of them are really not used to the way Xionghu leads the team, so they can only be separated.

Yuan Li laughed: "Man, good luck to you!" ”

This guy is still so bad, and his implication is: I hope your team members are still alive under your "wise" leadership!

However, Xionghu didn't hear this meaning, and after a while of regret, he knew that he couldn't keep people, so he had to admit it, and he replied: "Okay, Brother Lifeng, I also wish you good luck losing our protection, it's really worrying about your safety."

In fact, what he cares about most is the departure of the two beauties, and without the companions of these two beauties, their adventure will be much more boring.

However, he didn't know that the worry he showed in the end was too wasteful in Yuan Li's opinion.

After saying goodbye to the wind, he did not stop any longer, and chose a path that was at a forty-five degree angle to the "Hunter" expedition and left here.

They didn't even need a probe when they walked, and no one fell into the dark river until they were out of sight of the "Hunter" expedition. This is quite surprising in the eyes of Xionghu and others.

In fact, they didn't know that when Lifeng and the others walked forward, a thin layer of ice would form on the ground, and those thawed permafrost would be frozen again in a short time, which was not enough to pose any threat to Lifeng and the others.

This layer of thin ice, needless to say, is Ah Bing's masterpiece. The permafrost, which seems dangerous to outsiders, is actually a joke here in Ah Bing

Separated from the "Hunter" expedition, Lifeng and his party naturally felt a lot more relaxed, and even Yuan Li was laughing: "Hahaha, what kind of bird expedition, D-class dares to be so arrogant, this is not a fate!" Dare to claim to protect us, laugh at me"

Before they knew it, it was noon, and for more than an hour after leaving the "Hunter" expedition, they had not encountered any visions.

Although the mutants are strong, in the final analysis, they are still inseparable from the "human" Fan Tao, and they still need to eat. The four of them did not stand up, set up their tents on the spot, rested for a while, and ate some food by the way.

Their food is simple, just a black ball. This is a highly concentrated algae food, just one is enough to maintain Yuan Li's energy for half a day.

Although Yuan Li once said that "he will not be hungry for three days after eating a full meal", if he is not allowed to eat when it is time to eat, then he should rebel.

He held the chlorella between his index finger and thumb and exclaimed, "Although the chlorella is good, the taste is not enough, I really want to eat it again."

After that, he threw the chlorella into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.

"Who?" At this moment, Yuan Li, who originally looked lazy, suddenly shouted with his eyes lit up, and rushed out of the tent directly, and continued to shout: "Come out!" ”

"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive" Soon, a familiar sound came from behind a boulder.

It turned out to be the people of the "Hunter" expedition!

At this time, the three of them also walked out of the tent, and when they saw the people coming, they all frowned: "Brother Xionghu, you are"

"Hey!" When asked about the reason, Xionghu rarely showed a look of remorse. If you look closely, there are only seven team members left behind him!

Even if the sixth and ninth are missing, there should be ten left, but now there are only seven team members

"To tell you the truth, after we separated, the seventh, eighth and tenth members of our team also disappeared one after another." Xiong Hu said: "Originally, I thought that with our D-class expedition, we would definitely be able to cross the Kunlun Death Valley, but"

Speaking of this, Xionghu sighed again: "I'm arrogant, I've lost so many team members, and I can't bear it Ah When I repented, I also noticed that Brother Lifeng, you only had four people to get the level of an E-class expedition, and the equipment would definitely not be worse than ours, so I changed my route halfway, found you, and wanted to go with you." ”

Yuan Li frowned, can't you get rid of this burden?

Seeing that Yuan Li was displeased, Xionghu hurriedly explained: "But you don't have to worry, we are just following you for this day, and we will leave as soon as it dawns tomorrow!" When you leave, you have no problem walking through the thawing permafrost, that's why I have this idea, you don't mind, right? ”

It's good that he didn't say this last sentence, but after he finished speaking, Yuan Li gradually revealed his murderous intentions!

He misunderstood the other party's words, and thought that Ah Bing's ability was exposed. In normal times, there are often ordinary expeditions that find mutants, but those people are basically all wiped out, and the only ones who can survive are super expeditions that are not as murderous as Lifeng. Naturally, some people want to announce the existence of mutants, but no one believes it at all, and the comments on the Internet will be deleted quickly!

When Yuan Li hesitated to make a move, he felt a pain in his wrist, which was because Lifeng stopped him in time.

After some negotiations, Lifeng finally agreed to take these people with him, but his safety was not guaranteed.

After the break, the two teams set off again. In order to hide her identity, Ah Bing also had to have a job of covering up, she put on a pair of gloves, and misinterpreted by Lifeng, saying that this is a kind of cooler, which can freeze the frozen soil.

Xionghu and the others did not suspect it, and walked aimlessly with the wind all the way.

After about an hour, an anomaly finally appeared ahead.

This is a depression in the Kunlun Death Valley, which is littered with corpses, both animal and human, and densely packed.

In the faint sunlight, these corpses seemed to exude bursts of corpse gas, and the stench was incomparable.

Such an abrupt scene extremely impacted the visual senses of everyone present, except for Lifeng, Yuan Li, and Ah Bing, including Ah Lian, they all felt a burst of horror

"Look there!"

At such a moment, one person exclaimed, and everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and they were suddenly terrified!

There, there is the only whole corpse in this area, and this corpse is no stranger to everyone, because he is the long-missing Lao Jiu!

Now Lao Jiu's corpse looks disheveled, and he has an extremely terrifying expression, as if he saw some kind of extremely terrifying picture before he died!
