The Sacred Spring Chapter 23: Lantern Fire (2)


As if to verify my premonition, the originally quiet and dark Baigui Pit suddenly lit up, and the four walls of the pit were filled with tiny sparks from unknown time.

I took a breath of cold air, picked up the limp chief and shouted: "The bat has come out of the cave, run quickly."

Almost at the same time as I shouted, there was a buzzing sound like a bellows above my head, and all I could hear was biting cold wind whistling past my ears.

Occasionally, my ears would be quickly blown by something hairy and hard.

Pulling it over made people get goosebumps all over their bodies.

I looked up at the zenith, and countless small bright spots were flying in the air.

It seemed that we were in the boundless sea of ​​​​stars.

However, the sea of ​​​​stars was not as beautiful as imagined at this moment.

They were all lantern bats that eat people without spitting out bones.

The luminous lantern on it is not to illuminate the way for passers-by, but a murderous lantern that seduces people.

"Run to the exit."

Bald Lao waved the torch in his hand and pointed out a shortcut for us to escape in the darkness.

However, he himself was immediately exposed to the attack of a swarm of bats.

Bats are animals that are born blind and rely entirely on ultrasonic positioning to determine the location of their prey.

Our torches can only show off their power for a short time, and are really not comparable to swarms of bat sniper teams.

The fat man and I raised our rifles and shot wildly at the bats in the air, regardless of whether we could hit them or not, we just wanted to win a moment and a half so that others could escape from the cave.

Our fire suppression played a decisive role.

Si Yan and Mr.

Wang had dragged the unconscious masked chief up to the exit and entered the witch doctor's tomb on the upper floor.

The fat man and I fought and retreated, and the flesh on our arms and head were almost scratched to pieces by these ferocious beasts.

I took the torch from the hand of the bald man, dropped the rifle, picked up the pistol and shot while waving the torch, those cunning The lantern bats spotted the moment when our firepower suddenly decreased and swarmed towards us.

The bald ladles crawled to the side and returned Most of my butt was exposed at the entrance of the cave, and was being bitten by the bats entrenched in the air.

I pushed the fat man and said, "Hurry up, I'll be at the bottom.

After you get out, use grenades to prevent them from getting out."

The fat man refused. , changed a magazine, and yelled: "Fuck it, you go first, I'm going to fire hard, I'll cover you."

The bats had already figured out our escape route.

A large number of bats blocked the entrance of the cave, completely blocking the cave that could only accommodate one person.

Bald Ladle and Four Eyes were shooting desperately at it, but they still couldn't stop the bats from going crazy. offensive.

When I saw that the situation was not good, the person above could no longer hold on, so he raised his foot and kicked the fat man out.

I threw the burning torch out, took out the remaining alcohol and threw it out, causing sparks to burst into the sky.

When I got up, many bats fell to the ground under the heat of the heat wave.

The fat man pointed his middle finger at me, spit in the palm of his hand, and rushed up with a few "scratches" on the rope.

Under the influence of alcohol, the entire Baigui Pit suddenly fell into a sea of ​​fire.

My hair and clothes were all smelling of being roasted.

I no longer dared to fight.

I chased the fat man’s ass all the way up, and many lantern bats were staring at me.

Behind us trying to break out of the robbery hole, my thighs and My butt was scratched and bitten by them, and I almost had to be dragged back into the cave alive by these beasts.

Fortunately, the bald man and his quick hands pulled me out of the cave.

As soon as my feet landed on the ground, they carried me with all their strength.

A rock from the witch doctor's tomb rolled over and sealed the entrance.

After such a hoarse struggle, I could no longer muster any strength and lay down directly.

The screams of the bats when they were burned by the fire were still ringing in my ears.

The Masked Chief lost one of his eyes to the Lantern Bat.

We bandaged his wound and applied herbs, and finally managed to stop the bleeding.

This greatly affected our marching speed and further dampened the morale of the team.

After escaping from the lantern bat's nest, I roughly judged the location of Devil's Bridge based on the natural landscape described on the map and murals.

I originally planned to go north along the Amazon River overnight.

Unfortunately, the chief's injury was too serious, and the rain forest was full of dangers at night, so we had to set up camp on the spot to make adjustments.

Since most of our camping gear was left at Yadong, we only had three tarps left to use at the moment.

Fortunately, when we were soldiers, we often encountered situations where we had to spend the night in the wild.

A tarpaulin was a great gift.

I chose two short trees that were half a person tall, tied the two trees together with ropes, and then tied the waterproof cloth together.

The cloth was folded in the middle and hung on the hanging rope.

Four short lengths of rope were tied to stones and fastened to the corners of the tarpaulin, and a simple triangular tent was built for everyone to rest.

Snakes and mosquitoes are everywhere in the jungle, making it almost impossible to get a good night's sleep.

We had no choice but to stand guard and take turns to rest.

The Masked Chief was implicated in this situation because of our relationship, and I feel really bad about it.

But sending him back now is of no use.

The health and medical conditions of the Kramer people are backward.

They have neither necessary medicine supplies nor a suitable resting environment.

A cold can easily kill a person in the primitive tribe, let alone a mask.

The chief lost one of his eyes to the poison.

Four Eyes walked out of the masked chief's tent, his hands full of pus and blood: "I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on anymore.

Bats have lived in an environment full of corpse gas for a long time, and their bodies are full of corpse poison.

That mouthful not only sucked He cut out his eyeballs and injected the toxins in his saliva into his body.

You can see that the gauze that was replaced has begun to produce pus.

We didn’t carry much antibiotics with us, so we gave Yadong some more.

There are only two left, and if we don’t think of anything else, we may only be able to wait until tomorrow morning.”

I asked Tu Di: "If we quit now, how soon will it be before we can contact the medical team?"

Bald Piao said: "It has been four days since we entered the rainforest, plus the distance from Titama Village to the town, it will take a week no matter what.

He may not be able to survive even tonight, even if we Contacting the medical team was of no help.

"Baduo can speak Yachuk and is sensitive to the chief's physical condition.

He knows more about the situation than I do."

His body temperature rose too fast and he was already a little unconscious.

Just now he kept begging me to give him a shot.

Brother Bayi, you are the leader, I listen to you on this matter Yes, but to be honest, he will die wherever he goes like this, and with my temper, I should give him a happy life. " For a moment, all eyes were focused on me, waiting for me to make a decision.

I said, "If the situation has reached this point, then I will naturally bear the responsibility."

After saying that, I bent down and stepped into the chief's building. simple tent.

After seeing it for myself, I realized that what Bald Lao said was true.

The chief was lying on the tarpaulin.

His whole head was swollen to the size of two watermelons.

Although his injured right eye was carefully bandaged, pus was bubbling.

His eye sockets were still partially exposed through the gaps in the gauze, and the room was filled with a putrid smell.

He shouted some random words and then fell asleep again.

I pulled out Walter and pulled the trigger, ready to give him a ride so that I could help him get out of his misery as soon as possible.

Suddenly, Mr.

Wang rushed in and shouted to me: "There is salvation":
